NEW YORK, Dec. "a n.N.S.).--
Holiday cheer pervaded the curb
market today and stocks shot for
war on one Of the most vigorous
advances this month. An unex-
pectedly comfortable supply of call
money, although the renewal rate

traders who aggressively bid UP a
long list OF selective favorites and
paid particular attention to the
utility and mining stocks.
Power and light issues were led
by Electric Bond & Share, up over
4 points at a new high for the year.

ment, up points at 163. Plans
for the reorganization of the for
mer company are now nearing com.
pletion, it is reported. United Light

stock all reflected buying. Federal
Water Service was at a new high at
52Hs, up rs.
In line with the demand for cop-
per shares on the big board New

Jersey Zinc jumped almost 10 points
TO 269, new top for the year.
Movement in stock of the Ford

The stock rushed up above 19 for
a gain Of more than 3 points in
transactions totaling more than
$4,000 shares in the first three hours
of trading. A week ago tomorrow
the stock opened on this exchange
at ga after being offered by sub
scription for about SIS a share.

lished new high at 81, was one

Another Way to Help
Here is a very simple Christmas
request which comes from a retired
Government employe. He is not
asking aims nor charity.
All he wants is some kind of a
job to which he can look forward
each morning when he arises. and
he does not stress the item of
wages. Hardly a craving hair in
his head, active in mind and body,
he finds the days pail on him and
is anxious to find something TO
which to turn hand.
He can run an elevator, handle a
small heating system. perform the
duties of day or night watchman,
or even do clerical work.
Here is young old man who is
far from through. although Uncle
Sans regulations say he has served
to his limit.
His identity will be furnished to
anyone needing his services.

Quotations were IT points higher

eased later under moderate selling
by the South and selling of distant
months by New Orleans. Scattered
outside liquidation in January was
in evidence. Next Wednesday is
first notice day for that delivery.

SERVICE
LEGISLATION
DUE SOON

Uncle Sam has few Christmas
presents for Federal employees this
year.
There are many of them in the
making, and it is possible that be-
fore Congress adjourns one or more
will be converted into actualities'
But none is ready now.
TAe Christmas season, therefore,
is one of deferred hopes so far as the
Civil Service personnel is concerned,
hut the Government workers have
learned how to wait and show real
confidence that it Is only matter
of a short time when most of their
more pressing troubles and problems
will be ironed out.
LehIbach at Work
on fhe program OF personnel leg1s-
Iation is to be found the revised
Wellch bill, the liberalized Civil
Service retirement act, the begin
nings of the revision Of the classifi-
cation act, and standardized sick and
vacation leave legislation.
Renresentative Lehlbach, chair
man of the House Civil Service Com
n1ittee, is spending part OF MS
Christmas vacation at his New Jer-
sew home whipping the new Welch
bill into shape. He is awaiting re-
vised figures from the Budget Bu-
reau on the cost of proposed amend
ments before making his final draft.
1T viii be ready for introduction IN
the House. however, as soon as con
gress reconvenes.
Tha reuort of the Personnel Classi-
ffcation Board on present workings
OF the personnel act will be before
the House Civil Service Committee
about January Is. It will be used as
the basis for revamping the present
law at the next session OF Congress.
Retirement Up to House
The retirement legislation already
has been accepted by the Senate and
il slated to pass the House. 1t pro-
vides q. maximum annuity OF $l,2OO
. year.
other legislation involving the
Federal service will be developed in
the near future. There Is little
doubt that impending revision of
classification will bring about funda-
mental changes in the civil service
organization. The old fight relating
to the definitions and specifications
in the clerical. administrative. and
fiscal service probably will be re-
newed, along with the issues of
salary equalization involved.
It appears probable also that the
personnel report, to be placed be-
fore Congress. will involve some i'm
portant changes in the average
clause" which is now causing so
much dissension and trouble in the
departmental groups.

From this point the sharp noun

came to Graham Land. The noun.

1000 to 5000 feet high. To our
