Although its large fleshy stems
are those of a vegetable its piquant
flavor leads it to be used as a fruit
and it's beautiful pink color adds
attractiveness and appeal to dishes
made with it.
Rhubarb contains from 80 to 95
per cent of water and consequently
it is not by itself considered Of high
food value. Its tartness, however,
which depends on certain acid
calcium salts, requires much sugar,
so dishes made with it have high
energy value.
Rhubarb is a sort of harbinger of
spring-it is one of the first Vege-
tables to appear and the first rhu-
ticipated.
Try some of these receipts:

ZIONIST HEAD HITS
PALESTINE ATTACKS
Homeland Being Revived De-
spite 'SIanderous Charges
LipSky Says.
BY the Associated Press.

by Tue Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, June 30.-The up
building of Palestine is progressing and
the Jewish homeland is being revived
despite "slanderous charges" against
leaders of the Zionist Organization of
America, Louis Lipsky, president of the
ZioniSts, yesterday told the national
convention of Hadassah. Lipsky and
his administration had been charged
with incompetency and inefficiency.
Lipsky said that the movement to re-
build Palestine had been carried on
with some So-called Zionists snipe
shooting from the windows" He urged
that the members of the organization
unite in the cause of Zionist and that
the rebuilding of Palestine be saved
from 1.-The ignominy of public con-
troversy."
The Zionist president came here from
New York to address the meeting of
HadaSsah, a woman's organization af-
filiated with the Zionists, upon the in
vitation of the Hadassah delegates. The
delegates voted to urge Lipsky to appear
and he was cheered for several minutes
when he came before the convention
today
THE Zionist movement is a sacred
cause and it is not a cause to be made
foot ball for a political convention"
he said. THE Zionist movement has
gone through two years Of misery and
during these two years those who hold
the responsibility have been subjected
to the guerrilla warfare of those who
dare not show their faces on the pub
lie street.
I'VE have gone through that period
of two years and every word that comes
to us from Palestine now declares that
Palestine Is reviving, Palestine is COM
ing through, despite the indefensible,
slanderous and destructive activities of
some individuals"

RETIREMENT LAW
HELD AUTOMATIC
Working of Rule After August
20, 1880, Explained by
Civil Service Board.

To clear doubt in the minds of many
Government clerks, the Civil Service
Commission has notified heads of de-
partmentS that there can be no devia-
ton under the law that requires auto
matte separation of all employees after
August 20. 1880, as soon as they attain
a minimum of Is years of annuitable
service and reach an age four years
beyond the age of retirement fixed by
law for the position they hold.
The commission has received fire.
quent inquiries from employees asking
who would be affected on that date
asking whether they may be continued
for an additional period or whether
they are to be automatically separated
from the service. Consequently. the
commission sent out notices yesterday
that it cannot approve the continuance
of service beyond August 20, 1880, in
such cases.
The solicitor of the Interior Depart
ment. in an opinion of June IL, held
that the separation was automatic I'M
der the act of July 3, 1926.
The Civil Service Commission points
out that section of the 1926 act, which
provides for continuance in the service
beyond retirement age by periods not
exceeding two years, has the following
limitation upon continuances:
Provided, however. that after Au-
gust 20. 1880, no employee shall be con-
tinued in the civil service of the United
States beyond the age of retirement for
more than four years"
intention of Congress to require the
separation at the close of August 90,
1880, of all employees who on that date
will be eligible for annuity and who will
be four years or more beyond the re-
tirement age.
