Whisky blending is one Of the

There is no specific formula as

Careless Blending Blamed
Little surprise was expressed
that some of the whisky was OF
inferior quality, which was blamed
on careless blending.
1t was given as a general rule
that heavy whiskys and to q
lesser degree old whiskys could
be cut to a greater extent than
the lighter types. An excellent
grade of whisky may be cut 10
times with green whisky and
probably five times with pure

old or more, cut with alcohol,

Type of Grain Factor
Chemists said the character
and proportion Of grain employed
in the distillation process had q

whisky for cutting.
No regulations have been issued
with relation to rectification, but
It was expected the Federal alco-

New regulations probably will be
prepared concerning the labelling
of liquor as to the character Of the
contents of the bottle. such as age,
blend, name and address Of the
distiller, and the trade name OF

CIVIL SERVICE ACT
HALF CENTURY OLD
Golden Anniversary Observed
Today-Jo Jobs Increased
From 14,0OO to 467,161.

The Civil Service Commission today
observed its golden anniversary.
Fifty years ago, on January 16, 1888.
President Arthur signed IAN act to
regulate and improve the civil service
OF the United States" and the spoils
system for choosing the great rank and
f1le OF Government workers passed into
the discard.
The Civil Service Commission was
the first independent agency created in
the Government. Its formation was
directly brought about through the as
sassination of President Garfield by
Guiteau, disappointed Office seeker,
whose crime fastened the attention of
the country on the iniquities of the
spoils system, and gave impetus to the
labors of those who long had sought to
bring about reform.
Drafted by Eaton.
The bill embodying the present law
was introduced in the Senate by Sen
ator Pendleton, Democrat, of Ohio. It
was largely the work of Dorman B.
Eaton, who became a member of the
first commission
When the act became operative, there
were fewer than $4,000 classified posi-
tions; at the end Of the last fiscal year
the number was 467,161, which repre-
sents 80 per cent of the entire personnel
Of the Federal executive civil service.
Compensation, retirement and CLASH
fication acts, are three of the outstand-
ing pieces Of supplemental legislation
which have marked the progress of the
Civil Service system.
Resolutions on the fiftieth anniver-
sary Of the Civil Service law went to
the Civil Service Commission today
from the American Federation Of Gov
ernment Employees.
Letter Also Sent.
With them was this letter from

dent, and Willis E. Hurd, secretary, ad-

Lulu longed to be. But she left Evariste cold.
1t was, Evariste supposed, partly envy and
partly righteous wrath. For the brittle blond,
who was very young and wore impatience like

Of her shining head to the tips Of her expen-

1t was of course, inevitable that Lulu should
return with the Marie Alphonsine. Evariste
hadn't admitted, even to herself. that she'd
purposely not shown it, but she knew now
that it was true. Particularly when the little
blond pounced upon it.
I'll try that one" she said.
The Marie Alphonsine, when placed on the
sleek bright head, had nothing wrong with it.
Even Evariste had to admit that. True, the
nose beneath its brim wasn't tilted. and there
was more of petulance than sest for adventure
in the lovely little face that went with the
