AS they join the rest Of Wash,
ington in celebrating New Year
Eve tonight, Gertrude DuVall and
Dean Gordon, of the Civil Service
Commission, will have two pleas
urable items on which to dwell
as the city's many gongs, bells
and whistles usher out the old
year.
The first is that they need not
go to work tomorrow, in fact, not
until Monday, as a result of a
special New Year present given
all Government workers by Presi-
dent Roosevelt through a recent
executive order.
High School Teacher
The second is that they have
succeeded in the careers they
chose for their life work, and with
Congress and numerous organiza-
tions planning drives for better
ment of employe conditions dur
ing 1887. there is every reason to
believe the year beginning tomor-
row will be even more beneficial
for Federal workers than was
1896. -
Almost everyone at the Civil
Service Commission knows Miss
DuVall, for she is senior clerk in
the office of the chief of person

WORKERS BEGIN NEW YEAR RIGHT

Dsome offices brings GOODNESS to-
wards the incumbents due to the
fact that in personnel work one
must often grant or deny favors.
She is a member of Pi Omega Pi
Sorority.
Similarly. Dean M. Gordon is
quite we'll known at the commits
sion, being a handsome young
bachelor in an agency literally
crammed with young and pretty
feminine employees.
Bowling FavOrite Sport
Mr.. Gordon, who now resides at
648 Sixth st. N. E., was born at
Derry, Pa, and received his high
school education in his home town.
In 1888 he accepted offer of an
appointment with the loans and
currency division of the Treasury
Department and shifted to Civil
Service two years ago, where he
is employed in similar capacity
in the correspondence division.
Engineering would have been
Mr.. Gordon's profession if he had
not entered the Government, but
he has now decided to follow his
present course and remain in the
service permanently. Reading and
bowling are his favorite recrea-
tional pastimes.

mel and consequently contacts the
commissions force for one reason
or another very often. She has
been in the Government service
for five years, Uncle Sam tearing
her away from a promising career
as a high school teacher.
Born in Milan, Mo-, Miss Du-
Vail graduated from the Kirksville
State Teachers College in Mis-
souri,, and turned her hobby into
profession. Her hobby is music,
teaching and playing the piano,
and she taught that and COM
mercial subjects in Illinois high
schools for four years.
Every time one of her pupils
was a victor in the State high
school music contests, she says,
she found herself particularly
thrilled, and this competitive fea-
ture is one item she misses since
joining the Governments staff.
Came Here in 1881
In 1881, however, Miss DuVall
joined the staff of the Federal
Board of Vocational Education,
and remained there for a year,
transferring later to the Civil
Service Commission.
Very attractive, with an irresiSt-
ible smile, Miss DuVall is quite
popular in a position which in

Conflicting Reaction on Presidents

Conflicting Reaction on Presidents
Sanitary Convention.
By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's statement in
Buenos Aires yesterday that he would
ask the United States Senate to ratify
q sanitary convention with Argentina
concerning live stock imports brought
conflicting reaction here.
Approving, Secretary Wallace said at
press conference that "embargoes
levied because of insects or disease
should be on purely scientific basis
mo economic considerations should
enter in," he added.
Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho,
told his press conference the Presi-
dents proposal will meet considerable
protest" from live stock interests in
this country.
Mr.. Roosevelt referred to a year-old
embargo which Congress raised against
the importation of live stock from Ar
gentina in an effort to halt the spread
Of hoof -and-mouth disease, then tax
ing heavy toll on Western cattle
ranges.
Long ago veterinarians virtually
eradicated the disease in this country,
and In recent years Argentine officials
have claimed similar progress over
vast areas and importuned this Gov
ernment to modify the embargo.
Borah, declining to state his per-
sonal position until the Presidents
proposal for q treaty convention comes
before the Senate, said it would meet
considerable protest" because lex
perience has proved that it is practi-
cally impossible to isolate hoof-and-
mouth disease in any one part of q
country"

officers two addresses. Neither Of them
checked, police said, and her conver-
sation was too incoherent to obtain
further information from her.
The child, pretty, brown-eyed, well
dressed and apparently well cared for,
was in q normal condition when found
with her mother. At Gallinger Hos
pital. where she was placed in the
children's ward, she became the play
mate Of nurses and doctors.
Nurses at the children's ward at
Gallinger Hospital "christened" the
child "Snooks" until her mother re-
gained consciousness later in the
morning and they learned her name
was eBtty Jean.
The mother, meanwhile, was con-
fined to the psychopathic ward. She
was reported unconscious at 10 am,
five hours after resident Of the N
street address had notified police she
and the child were in the doorway.

FL Nations Of Western Hemisphere

Twenty-one nations Of the Western
