Reorganization of the staff of the

planned by Elwood Seal, the new head
of the legal division, became effective
today, when the Commissioners ap-
proved his recommendations for two
appointments and a promotion.
At the same time the Commission
ers announced the resignation of two
assistants to the staff of lawyers, Leo
B. Fee, legislative drafting assistant,
and William Hogan. an assistant to
the staff at Police Court.
The two new assistant counsel are
Matthias Mahorner, jr., son-in-law of
Daniel J. Callahan, a member of the
District Unemployment Compensation
Board, and F. Glenn Simmon, who
had the Endorsement Of Senator
Thomas Of Oklahoma.
Appointment Protested.
Seal revealed last month he had
committed himself to these two ap-
pointments prior to the time of his own
appointment. Mrs. John Boyle, jr,
chairman of the Washington Con-
sumers' Council, wrote a letter to
Commissioner Hazen. objecting to the
appointment of Mahorner because of
previous legal connections.
James w. Lauderdale, who has been
serving as an assistant corporation
counsel at Police Court, was advanced
from $4,000 year to $4,000 year
and now is assigned as one of Seals
assistants at the District Building. He
fills the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation several months ago of Edward
w. Curran, who was appointed to
the Police Court bench.
Mahorner, who will be paid $4,000
year, is assigned to the District
Building and will handle some of the
damage cases against the District.
He is taking over duties formerly per-
formed by Chester H. Gray, who has
been shifted to work assigned to Seal.
No Funds for Jobs.
Fee and Hogan resigned because
they were informed there would be
no money for their jobs as soon as the
two new appointments were made.
They were paid originally under a
transfer of $4,000 from Police Depart
ment funds when they took office about
q year ago.
An effort was made to include their
salaries in the 1887 budget, but the
items were knocked out in the House.

credited with having killed the items

PLASTERERS ASKED
TO END WALKOUT
Will Consider Plan to Finish
Interior Building Work
at Old Scale.

The local plasterers' union. which
has been on strike from the new In
terror Department Building for two
weeks. will take up for consideration
tonight the proposal of its own inter-
national officers that the work be fin
ished at the old scale of $l.50 an hour
instead of the SITS an hour for which
they went on strike.
The meeting will be held at Plas-
terers' Hall, where the proposal of the
international headquarters will be ex-
planned and considered. A vote prob
ably will be taken as to whether to fol-
low the recommendation.
An agreement had been signed here
last May between the local union and
the Employing Plasterers' Association,
union leaders said, increasing the rate
from s1.5o to SITS an hour, effective
August Is.
The latter rate has been placed In
effect on all union jobs here, 1t was
explained, with the exception of the
Interior Building and the adult
tuberculosis Sanatorium at Glenn
Dale, Md, being erected by the Dis
trict government. Three men are
still out on strike at Glenn Dale, union
officials said.
Floyd Jennings, contractor of the
Interior Department job, would not
comment on the new proposal of the
International Plasterers' IJnion Tn
the past, however, he contended he
never had official notification Of the
local agreement to increase the scale.
He did have an agreement with the
international union to pay the sl5O,
he said, on all jobs started before
June /, 1896.
The recommendation Of the Inter-
national Plasterers' Union to finish the
Interior job at $3.50 was understood
to be based on this predetermined
scale"

SEVEN ARE CURED
Of TUBERCULOSIS
Complete Recovey of Chill.
dren Reported as Health
Camp Ends.

Complete recovery of seven tubercu-
lar children among the group of 81
treated during the last two months at
the Children's Health Camp, Thir-
teenth and Allison streets, was an
nounced yesterday by the District
tuberculosis Association with the
closing of the camp.
All of the other At were greatly
benefited, and final X-ray photo
graphs disclosed that seven of these,
given another month OF similar care,
would be eligible for certificates of
recovery.
Tanned and stronger after two
months of supervised outdoor life, the
children showed an average gain of 6
pounds, it was reported, with Mary
Paxton. now 1919 pounds heavier than
when she entered the camp. making
the greatest individual gain. Three
of the campers were years old and
the Oldest was IL.
Voicing satisfaction at the work ac-
complished by the camp this Sum-
mer, Mrs. Ernest r. Grant, manag-
ing director of the association, de-
clared there is need of an all-year-
round program for permanent results.
"a larger development of the work
could be realized" she said, "if Con-
gress would enact necessary legisla-
tion to require the disqualification of
the known pulmonary cases, a measure
which many cities already have put
into operation with good results"
She pointed out that new buildings
being erected at Bald Eagle Hill for
the camp next year are not equipped
for year-around use. The Bald Eagle
camp will accommodate $50 cases.
Camp officials this year were forced
to select the 81 children out of a
list of ITS.
Mrs. Margaret Craig Marshall was
director of the camp.
Those receiving recovery certificates
from the medical supervisor, DR.. Alex
ander Leonardo, were: Mary Cris-
mond, Josephine Curry, Mary Paxton,

WHAT BROWDER WOULD

IS FOR EVERYBODY IN

TO VOTE FOR R00sE-
WELT, and IN the States
where the outcome is certain
anyway, to enter a protest

at her. She was like Lois - young and
strong and honest.
You're terribly NICE" he said
She shook her head. mot nice
enough" she SAID.
The night before Gale went East.
Janet gave farewell cocktail party.
Gale hated her parties. But Janet SAID
he was her teammatc and had to play
ball with her. Otherwise the Studio
Shoppers would be saying that there
was a Rift. Which would be bad pub
licity.
They all went to the station with
him. And Janet threw herself into his
arms and cried bitterly. And several
cameramen, who were friends of hers,
obllgingly took pictures.
So Gale went East with headache
and a dream. He knew that it had been
spring when he had left and that now
winter was breathing its stern breath
over the bare rock bound fields. And
it must be somebody's birthday. Or
maybe the Fire Brigade was giving its
Annual Party.
The station was gay with flags.
There was a band playing. A crowd
of people were roped off, leaving a
square space in which he recognized
Harry Bergson, the Mayor, and old
Frlsbee. both wearing their Sunday
clothes and an expression of self-con-
sclous gravity. Gale laughed to HIM
self. Why, it was like Hollywood
premiere played by a group of stern
New Englanders.
Then he was in the midst of them.
They were shaking his hand. They
came up to him. one by one.
Welcome home. We're proud of
you. Gale Thornton"
Suddenly he felt ILL., He couldn't find
anything to say to them. He looked
at the familiar faces. And they stared
back at him. gravely. curiously as at
stranger.
And in fact they had become
strangers.

LOIS didn't cry easily. She came of
people who were harder on themselves
than on each other. But Leslie had
broken something in her. She had
never met despair like that. Perhaps
he hadn't really expected Gale to
come back. But it was all crazy, any
how. Because Gales homecoming
meant nothing. 1t didn't mean that
he loved Lois or wanted her. He
hadn't even written. She had said all
that to Leslie, trying to steady and
comfort him. But it was as though
everything she said goaded him to
fresh attack.
You'd be an awful fool, even if he
did ask you. Gale isn't our sort any
more. He wouldn't stick to you. You
wouldn't have a week S chance against
all those smart, pretty women he
plays with. They know how to dress
and talk. They know how to play the
game. And you don't And you'd never
learn. You'd be a country nobody -
just Gale Thornton's wife - and he'd
be ashamed of you. You'd find out you
couldn't stand things either - you'd
break your heart -"
I'D take my chance" Lois had re-
torted.
And then Leslie had broken. He had
gone to pieces. 1t was queer what that
did to Lois. She felt what she always
felt for him - confusion of pity and
tenderness and distaste And yet when
he had pleaded, Promise - can't
go till I'm sure" Lois had said. Il
can't" stupidity. obstinately - for no
reason except that some relentless in
tegrity in her seemed to demand it
of her.
Immediately Leslie had swung away
from her and out of the house like
madman. And she had broken down
and cried - from WEAKNESS, and be-
cause she had known that what he had
said was true. Even if Gale loved her it
would be no use. She could not hold him.
Il guess you make whale of lot
