OF BABY
LAID TO WILD
DOG PACK

SOUTH BEND, Ind, March II
Q.N.S0.-Wild. homeless, hungry
dogs, running in a wolf-like pack,
were feared today to have caused
the death of Richard Thornberg,
212 years old.
The baby, who had been play
ing in the yard of the Thorn
berg home here, failed to answer
when his mother called him
yesterday.
A neighbor told her:
T heard Richard screaming
and / heard dogs barking. But
his crys stopped within a min
ute and I thought he had run
safely home"
Police were called, searched the
neighborhood, and found Rich,
ards footprints. spaced as though
he had been running in mortal
terror, leading to the bank of
the st. Joseph River. Inter.
mingled with the tiny prints were
the paw prints of several large
dogs.
Apparently, police said, Richard,
cut off from his home by a pack
OF dogs, had raced toward the
river, slipped on the steep bank,
and fallen in.
Police dragged the river for his
body today, while a roundup OF
all stray dogs was begun.

TRANKLIN DELANo RoosE-
- WELT, President-elect of the
United States, was holding a
very informal press conference
while lunching from desk top in a
downtown hotel in the middle of a
flying trip to Washington late in 1882.
Governor" one of the newsmen
spoke up, there are. as you know,
thousands of Government employees
here, and they are more or less wor-
ried by reports that the Democrats
plan a house cleaning when they come
in. Is there anything you might say
to assure them"
Roosevelt looked up.
LAS Governor of New York" he
said. Il have been a friend of civil
service. I do not anticipate change
in that policy"
That was a clear, concise answer
BY it-or SO it was assumed-the man
who soon was to enter the White
House pledged himself and his admin
istration to carry on under the system
by which rank and file employment in
the Federal service is the reward of
competitive test.
1t is no secret that it has not turned
out that way.
Present Employe Status.
There are, it is true, a few thou
sand more merit-System employees on
the Government pay roll than when
President Roosevelt, with safe major
tiles in Senate and House, took Office
on March 4, 1888. There are thou
sands upon thousands of others who
owe their places to favoritism of one
sort or another.
Where does the blame lie?
The customary thing to do-the re-
current themes of written and spoken
attacks on the "spoilsmanship" of the
Roosevelt administrations to put
the onus at the door of the White
House, coupling in, of course, the
job-dispensing activities of Postmaster
General James A. Farley, who doubles
in brass as chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
Logically enough, it seems, these
critics argue that the hold the PreSi-
dent has on Congress would have been
more than sufficient to check patron
age abuses had he seen fit to bear
down." Once he failed to do this,
these contend, Farley handed out
plums right and left.
But there is more to the story than
that.
Source of Evils.
Primarily, the evils of the last three
years have sprung from Capitol Hill;
from Congress, perennially job-mind-
ed, and, in this era, bedeviled beyond
imagination by the horde of job seek
ers created by the depression.
Secondly, President Roosevelt is re-
sponsible to whatever extent that the
full force of his Office has not been
thrown up against the patronage tidal
wave. But more of this later.
Finally, what might be termed the
hidden factor" public apathy, has
played its part. The average business
organization that burns the air with
attacks on some piece of legislation
to which it objects - particularly
where an impending crinp in the
bank roll is obvious-acceptS patron
age as a matter of course, despite
the fact that it breeds waste and is
responsible for costs in government
that every one feels.
And it would be rare individual
indeed who would be averse to help
ing some friend land a billet because
Of scruples against non-civil service
appointments. The job is the thing
that counts.

Divorces in Germany
Show Large Increase

BERLIN (P)-Belated marital sta
tistics show a % per cent increase in
divorces in Germany in 1884.
AS compared with 42,485 divorces
in 1888, no less than 54,402 couples
were legally parted in 1884, an increase
of nearly 10000. In 1889 the increase
over the previous year was only 283.
The 1884 divorce total was even
higher than in 192l-a postwar year
full of marital shipwrecks-when 80
out of every 10000 couples sought di-
vorce. In 1884 it was 81 out of every
10000.

Nell got a hasty supper of ham.
burg and carrots. She washed the
dishes, made up a couch in the
living room for Jimmy, who was
full of eager chatter. Say, I think
this is a swell place. Lots Of kids
here and I love to hang out a
window. You could make a peachy
slide down those back steps. May,
be I can rig one up"
Nell went to her own tiny room.
The bed was stacked high with
boxes. clothes, shoes, books. She
felt heavy and tired, ready to
crawl in between the bundles and
drop into thick, undreaming.
sleep.
But when she finally had the
bed made and lay between the
chilly, white sheets, she was stark
ly awake.
A wild dance of figures jumped
back and forth before her fever

This left but $50 for food, rent,

would be July before Nell would
earn again. Four whole months.
The rent alone would be $100.
AS soon as they were settled, as
soon as she had altered-not very
skilfully-an old green suit of
Emily'S, Nell went to the Employ.
ment Office. Her own clothes no
longer fitted her. But neither
Nom nor Henry Mason had yet
remarked she was to have a child.
She felt confident.
"Oh. I'm keeping you in mind,
Mrs. Calhoun" said the pleasant
Miss fremont, who was in charge
of the bureau. when will you be
free again to accept a position?"
The hot. embarrassed blood
crowded to Nell's face. When? OH!
So Miss fremont wouldn't send
her to an office. Even for a days
work. Miss fremont knew. Nell
stared blankly before her, unable
to answer.
"When you're ready to resume
work, Mrs. Calhoun, I feel sure
can place you. Business is pick
ing up. Wish you luck!"
Thanks. I'll let you know"
She got out of the office, her
mind reeling. There just wouldn' t
be any more money!
An old woman carrying two
huge market bags preceded Nell up
the steps of the apartment house
At the first landing the woman
turned: you're the new tenant,
amt you? Is that your mother
who's sick? And you too, eh?
When do you expect the little
