Here is something to look forward to!
You envy lovely white teeth and the
charm they bring. Say "PEBECO"
when you next buy tooth paste. Then
look forward to clean teeth, sparkling
white teeth, and to teeth safeguarded
against decay through PEBECO'S
ability to check destructive mouth

ber 16 by Judge Gus A. Schuldt
in Police Court.
The hearing was to have been
held today, but was postponed at

sistant District Attorney, who
asked the postponement because
one Of the men, Earl Garrison,

recovering from injuries received
in the accident which resulted in
Kelliher's death, and because
necessary papers in the case haYe
not been received.
The men named in the warrant
are Garrison, William McKeever
and William Shea. They are
said to have been companions Of
Kelliher in the automobile at the
time Of the accident in which the
baseball player was killed.
Police Of Alexandria, Va, wish
to question the men in connec-
ton with the case, in regard to
rumors that foul play was re-
sponsible for Kelliher's death.
Since they refused to return to
Virginia voluntarily. a warrant
had to be issued for them in
order that they might be ex-

WORKERS
Campaigning in Any Form Is
Prohibited; Warning Cites
Laws Governing Subject

The Civil Service Commission
today issued a red-lettered warn
ing'' to all classified employees
that they must refrain from politi-
cal activity in city, county, State,
or national elections. Regulations
and the laws. forbidding such
political activity are quoted and
are comprehensive.
Officers in the classified service
are forbidden to use either official
authority or their subordinates in
furthering the cause Of any candi-
date in either primary or general
elections. They may exercise
their individual suffrage, but that
Is all.
Service Prohibited
Service on any political COM
mittee is strictly prohibited: nor
may employees or officers partici-
pate in organizing clubs, rallies,
or other political organizations, or
In distributing campaign litera-
ture.
It is cited that under orders
Of the Postmaster General post
masters are in a somewhat diff
ferent status than that Of persons
in classified Civil Service but
they, too. are restricted in cam
paigning.
Postmaster Rule
A postmaster must not use his
position to influence or coerce
those under him "but postmaSters
do have a right to engage to a
reasonable extent in political
matters"
I Nevertheless. it is set out, it is
deemed unwise that postmasters
should accept political manage
ments or become conspicuous in
campaigns.
The Commission says that its
warning is similar to that issued
in previous election years and
covers any and all undue political
activity by men and women of
the countrywide classified ser
vice.
