OF Education, where, in a reduction of
three workers out Of a group of 16, the
fifth. twelfth and fifteenth in the efd-
cheney standings were eliminated.
This would be further complicated
now, it was pointed out, by the pro-
viso that where reductions of personnel
are made due regard shall be given to
the apportionment of appointments as
provided in the civil service act"
From this angle the burden would
fall heaviest on those workers claiming
residence in the District of Columbia,
Maryland, Virginia, Iowa and Vermont.
which are above their quotas in the
departmental service, based on popu-
lation.
This is particularly true in the Dis
trict and neighboring States. Here,
with a quota of 1872, there are 1O,714
employed; Maryland's quota is AL,
against an employed total of 1904.
and Virginia, with q quota Of SIS, has
1884 residents in service.
Problem Of Annuities.
To carry out the proposed principle,
1t was said at the commission that 1t
would be necessary to set up "separa-
ton lists" for each of these States.
Another adjustment viewed as neces-
sary If injusticeS are to be avoided is
that relating to the payment of an
nuities.
Under the proposed plan, an en-
ploye with 80 years service, retired
before reaching the age limit, gets the
maximum annuity subject only to
3As per cent reduction until he would
have been retired for age. To the con-
trary, a worker, who, for example,
might have in 20 years, would get only
that sum to which his age entitled him.
1t would work out this way.
An employe 6 0years old, due to re-
tire at 10, and in service 80 years.
would be entitled to an annunity of
$1,000, minus 3R per cent, for the
nrst 10 years Of his retirement and full
retirement thereafter
II, however, he should be cut OF after
20 years service, at the age of so, he
would get a slight bit more than 6I
per cent of the $1,000, which is the
rate prescribed by existing law.
In Effect for Years.
The rotative furlough plan now pro-
posed, was described as a restatement
of principle that has been In effect
for years, but which had been followed
only to q limited extent until the pass
age Of the economy act last July.
As now proposed, however, it carries
one change, in that no worker may be
furloughed for more than 90 days, until
all provisions of the civil service regu-
lations relating to reductions IN per-
sonnel are applied.
The reductions In force that viii re-
suit by reduced appropriations despite
the staggered work" plan, 1t Is con-
ceded, viii depend on the way the law
Is administered. The President has the
right to take action to assure Uniform
action, but because of the varying needs
Of the different agencies, it was said
this offers difficulties.

to plans to lift the military rule that

statements attributed to County Attor-
ney James Smith of Cherokee, threat
ening to arrest National GuardSmen II
they are sent into his jurisdiction from
lie Mars, where Judge Bradley was
abused by q crowd Of farmers when he
refused to take an oath he would not
sign any more mortgage foreclosure
DEGREES.
Militiamen Threatened.
Smith said he had been told that
troops at lie Mars were to be sent into
his county in search Of alleged rlotlng
farmers. He asserted there had been
no trouble In Cherokee County and
that he would retaliate with arrests Of
militiamen.
Gov. Clyde Herring. however. was
firm and declared that "if any arrests
are to be made by troops In Cherokee
County they will go in and get them"
He added he would confer with other
State officials today on the lifting OF
martial law in Plymouth and Crawford
Counties.
Plan for Trial.
As predictions for lifting martial law
within a few days" came from the
governors office. plans for trial OF
suspects in the farm riots were being
discussed in the attorney generals

Of contempt of court would probably
form the basis Of prosecution Of those
arrested.
Seven persons were taken into custody
at lie Mars, where Sc are now held, and
10 others were jailed at Deniscn, bring
ing the total there to 40. With nine
others transferred from lie Mars to

A BIG SPELLING BEE

So far as spelling is concerned, the
United States Constitution was rated be-
low Webster's dictionary by judges in a
spirited spelling bee in which Chicago
school officials, teachers and pupils par
ticipated recently.
In the Constitution the word "tran-
guilty occurs, but the dictionary spells it
with double = tranquility" Various
contestants spelled it both ways, and after
some argument the dictionary way was
held to be correct.
Rose Marie Bartlett, 13-year-old coun-
try school girl, was the final winner, de-
feating County Superintendent Aiken by
one word That is, Rose Marie spelled
consensus" correctly, but Mr.. Aiken
thought it wrong, and had to concede his
error when confronted with the big book.
A few of the words used in the test
were: Phthisic, battalion, rarely, irascible,
liquefy, henious, putrefy ecstasy, aligned,
curriculum, despicable, transcend, ade-
quate and publicizing
It would be good thing if more such
contests were held among both school chill
dren and adults, as Americans are
VIGOROUSLY poor spoilers, including many
college graduates, who often exhibit sur
prising originality in this line.

GETTYSBURG

The first three days of this month
marked the 10th anniversary of the Battle
of Gettysburg, in which Meade's defeat of
Lee sealed the fate of the Confederacy. It
is estimated that the Union forces under
Meade numbered about 81, 900 men, while
the Confederates under Lee numbered
about $4,000.
This momentous battle was one of the
f1ercest in all history, and cost both sides
heavily. Estimates place the Union losses
at 3,O12 killed, 14,494 wounded, and S.
454 captured or missing, while the Con-
federates lost 1852 killed, 1900 wounded
and $3.50 captured or missing
In this battle occurred the most
famous charge of the war, that of Picketts
Division of Confederates, composed of s.
600 men, which pierced the Union line only
to be hurled back with fearful slaughter.
1t is estimated that fully two-thirds of
Plckett's men were either killed, wounded
or captured in this charge The failure of
this attack on the Union position turned
the tide of the battle, and really marked
ltC DCSluHAIS Vi tHC emu, 50 lar DIS COu-
federate chances of final victory were con-
cerned.
On July A, 1865, Lee began his retreat
from Pennsylvania, and thereafter the
Union forces gradually frightened their
grip on those of the South, until Grant
forced Lees surrender at Appomattox on
April 8, 1865.
The three score and ten years which
have elapsed since Gettysburg have seen
a reunited country increase in population
from about 35 million to more than 1913
million, thereby becoming one of the great
est world powers. Few persons, even in
the South, now believe that it would have
been best if the Confederacy had sue
ceeded, although the sincerity of those
favoring secession is no longer questioned,
and the name of Lee is honored in the
North as we'll as in the South.
