HOUSE AIDS VETERANS.
Passes Bill Giving Grace to Gov
eminent Workers.

The House late yesterday passed a
bill fathered by Chairman Lehlbach Of
the civil service committee allowing
fiexibility in the ruling regarding the
30-day period in which department
chiefs must certify an employe ap-
preaching retirement age IL he is
eligible for the two years extension
of service.
This bill Is expected to do a larger
measure Of justice to veteran en-
ployes Of the Government, who have
heretofore been summarfly forced out
OF their positions by a ruling Of the
Controller General, because the law
was construed as not allowing time
for the certihcation OF their fitness
after their retirement age had been
reached.

hesitated to delegate powers to a gov
eminent which they felt would be con

wealthS.
Patterson's plan represents one ex-
IRENE and the other Is represented by
the plan introduced by Alexander
Hamilton, which would have provided
a far more powerfuE central govern
ment than even was contemplated by
Madison, would have elected a presi-
dent and a senate to sit for life, and
left very little to the suffrage OF the
people.
Hitherto it has been practically I'M
possible to secure all these documents
outside the Library of Congress, ana
even there the student would nave

ences to get the full story or the

mand for such a compilation has been
greatly increased during the past rev
years with the intensive study OF the
Constitution entered upon IN pubic

A complete compilation of docu
ments dealing with the establishment
of the Union. starting with the decia
rations and resolves of the first Con
tinental Congress In 1874 and ending
with the Constitution, has just been
made by DR.. Charles c. Tansil. as
sistant chief of the legislative ref
erence service of the Library of Con
gress.
The work was done by order OF
Congress as sesQuicentennial me-
mortal volume and is printed as
House document. This work makes 1t
possible for the first time for stu
dent OF the Constitution to obtain all
the papers which record the steps In
the formation Of a united Nation out
of 10 Independent States.
These documents were republished
from manuscripts in the files OF the
Library, from old newspapers and
from books long out Of print, as well
as from more generally known sources.
The compilation contains seven diff
ferent sets of notes taken by members
during the proceedings Of the consti'
tutional convention. This convention,
presided over by George Washington,
at which the Constitution was drawn
UP and which was marked by frequent
wrangles, was entirely a secret ses.
sion.
Steps Unknown Long Time.
For years after the adoption of the
Constitution the steps which led up
to the finished work were unknown.
This condition finally was removed by
the publication Of the notes Of James
Madison, one of the delegates from
Virginia. But from that time on Mad.

If the building or grounds are not up

standpoint, it is important that the

influence the development Of an es-

FATHERS

Fathers who have time to spend
at home with their children are in
deed fortunate, and should make as
much of their opportunities as pos
sible. There are fathers whose busi-
ness calls them away from home
during the day and oftimes until
late hours in the night They see
little of their children, and in some
instances, their children hardly
know that they have a father, they
see him so seldom at home.
A pathetic little story was over
heard recently as it was related by
a physician. The man of medicine
longed for the pleasure of his chiid's
company. However, like, hundreds of
other practitioners he was away
from home all during the day and
very often at night.
1t so happened that there was a
youngster in his family about or
years old. The doctor in telling the
story. said the little fellow was sell
dom seen by him except at the break

time, and he was hurried away 70

The father felt that his young son
had little affection for him. and all
due to the fact that he saw so lit
tie Of him. He longed for the COM
panionship of the little boy.
Finally one day he decided to take
a little vacation. He would 90 down
the river and fish little. He decided
to take the little fellow with him.
Off they went and when they reach
ed the fishing ground, he fixed a rod
for the youngster, and both began to

bite. His father showed him how to

He was so enthused, he threw the fish

Finally he got up and running ov-

around his neck and cried:

This was what the father had been
waiting and had longed to hear.

Mr.. Dewey says actual count shows
that just one better in six of our pre-

spelling if adopted, would save the
proportion of our annual printing bin

the time and thought wasted through
uncertainty in spelling, leading to
