Sut- clilfe, . reporter for the Fl Paso, Texas Herald today in Juarez, who though bullets from revolutionary rifles were flying about him thought only of the lack of cream for his morning coffee.
 Concealed in an adobe house in Juarez directly n the line of op- posing fire, Sutcliffe spent the night ani early morning giving telephone reports on the progress of the battle for possession of the city to the edi- torial rooms of the Herald. With a pair of telephone earphones on his head. Sutcliffe, from his vantage point on the floor directly beneath . window which gave him a com- manding view of the hostilities kept his office constantly advised of the situation.
 There was little doing during the night. With the coming of dawn and the opening Of hostilties with a vengeance, Sutcliffe began to take notice of things.

farm relief we should certainly do everything
possible to reduce the cost Of fertilizer, which
has become a necessity for efficient farming in

are just as much interested in legislation
which will have the effect Of removing this

apply for retention in the service for a
term of two years should he be certified
eficient by the head of the department
concerned. Thereafter similar extern
sions for two-year periods under like
circumstances may be granted. It Is
provided, however, that after the act
has been in force for 10 years, only two
such two-year extension periods shall
be granted"
That statement agrees with my pre-
viouS understanding of the law. 1t
must be remembered that the provision
under consideration occurs in the
second proviso to Sec. 2 of the act. The
main body of the section provides for
the automatic separation of the en-
ploye on reaching the retirement age.
This Is modified in the first proviso
thereto, permitting extensions Of time
Of service for two-year periods. Then
follows the limitation of the service
after August 20, 1890. In accordance
statutes, the second proviso modified the
first proviso, and the age of retirement
mentioned in the second proviso, must
be understood as the age of retirement
expressed In the body OF the section, as
modified by any extensions OF service
under the first proviso. In other words,
where before Aug. 20, 1880, there could
be an unlimited number of two-year
extensions, after that date there could,
as stated by the Civil Service COM
mittee, be but two 2-year extensions.
According to the Interpretation given
the law by the Civil Service Commission,
If on Aug. 20. 1880, an employe has
reached an age four years beyond the
original retirement age prescribed by
law, he must retire on that date, even
through two-year extension previously
granted him had not expired. be-
lieve that construction Is contrary to
the spirit and intent Of the law.
