BR|DLE PATHS
SHOW SPRING

Any day now another harbinger
of an early spring for the Capt.
tai may be seen on the bride
paths of Rock Creek and Potomac
Parks.
At one time one of the most
popular sports in the city, horse
back riding fell in favor during
the last decade.
But in the last few years, the
sport has started up the come
back trail. Each year, more and
more men and women took up
riding.
Until now, a sign just as sure
as the first robin, sulphur and
molasses," or other heralds of the
springtime is the ever increasing
numbers of riders on the park
bride paths.

RESTORATION
/. BILLS BACKED
BY UNIONS
Witnesses Unanimously Ask
Longer Vacations and
Sick Leaves

Unanimous approval of the
Ramspeck bills on annual and
sick leaves for the Federal service
was registered this morning by
witnesses before the House Civil
Service Committee in the first
of a series of hearings, although
some thought a limit should be
set on cumulative annual leave.
The bills, H. r. 5152 and H. r.
5153, would restore 30 days an.
nual vacation to Federal and
District of Columbia employees,
the unused leave of any one year
to be accrued, and IS days cumu-
lative sick leave with 80 days
additional in case of severe emer-
gency.
The first witness to be called
by Chairman Robert w, Ram
speck D) of Geo&ia was
George D. Riley, local Newspaper.
man. Mr.. Riley presented a Pc
tltion 125 feet long, containing
the names of more than 1900
Government employees who have
asked restoration of vacations and
sick leave.
No Extra Cost to u. 8.
He brought out that the
National Capital is so located
that the present Is days leave
is insufficient to permit most
workers to return to their homes
for vacation. He said the res
toration would cause no addi.
tional cost to the Government.
Luther c. Steward, president
of the National Federation of
Federal Employees, announced
that his organization has "un.
qualifiedly endorsed both meas
ures," saying that in the judg-
ment of members of his organ
ization the sick leave bill would
aid the field service immeasur-
ably, many of them having re.
ceived no sick leave in the past.
Overtime Criticized
In regard to annual leave, Mr..
Steward said:
II would heartily approve q
prOvisO to fix a definite work
period, and where overtime
work is necessary, compensate
for it with leave privileges. 1t
is a notorious fact that in re.
Spect to the field service much
overtime is required, but in
only a few instances is over
time rewarded"
Mr.. Steward pointed out that
every slight absence from work
costs a Federal employe at least
IS minutes, and in response to a.
question from Mr.. Ramspeck sug.
gested a three-year limit on the
cumulative annual leave feature.
Exception Attacked
Edward J. Gainor, president of
the National Association of Let.
ter Carriers, asked that section S
Of the annual leave bill, exclud-
ing post office employees, be
stricken out. He said the postal
service includes half the total
employees, comprising 25O,OOO men,
and should be included in the
legislation.
Gilbert E. Hiatt, National Fed.
Grafton of Post Office Clerks, and
w. N. Collins, Railway Mail Asso-
citation, both pointed out, however,
that the Post Office Committee of
the House is now considering leave
bills for the postal service that
are more appropriate. Mr.. Col.
Inns vigorously opposed unlimited
accumulation of leave, saying that
experience has shown it tends to
keep workers from taking vaca-

STOP BAD BREATH

Thousands of people afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr Edwards Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-Coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know.
 Dr Edwards Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels, stimulating them to natural &C., ton, and gently purifying the en- tire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects.
 Olive Tablets bring no gripping pain or any disagreeable effects.
 pr F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after 20 years of practice among patients afflicted with con- stipation with the attendant bad breath.
 Olive Tablets are purely a vege- table compound; you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two at bedtime for a week and note the effect. 15c, BOG, soc.
