Civil Service Commission
Warns Against Mis-
leading information

Washington, D. c., May 1.-THE
United States Civil Service Com
mission has sent a notice tn post
offices, warning that misleading in
formation is being given the public
by representative of some OF the
correspondence schools which sell
civil service" courses.
For a long time, the Commission
has been receiving complaints
from different parts of the country
which indicate that opportunities
for obtaining Federal employment
have been greatly exaggerated.
1t was made clear that no school
has any connection whatever with
the Civil Service Commission or
with any other branch Of the Gov
ernment, and alsn that the Com
mission has no agents who solicit
applications for civil service posi-
tions or who sell civil service
courses.
No school can guarantee" Gov,
ernment employment and none is
given information regarding eX,
aminations. or any other. informa-
ton, which is not available to the
general public. The Commission
stated that it does mt recommend
any school, and explained that 1t
is not necessary for anyone to take
a course with a so-called civil ser
vice school in order to compete in
a civil service examination.
A special point was made Of the
fact that information cnncerning
examinations may be obtained at
any time, without cost, from the
Secretary of the Civil Service
Board at any first or second-class
post office or from the COmm1s-
sion's office in Washington, D. c.

the singers while they are in mass
formation. Fifty thousand box
lunches will be carried by the par
ticipants.
This exposition musical feature
has been arranged by L. A. Woods,
State Superintendent of Instruc-
ton, who months ago started every
school child in Texas rehear"ing
typical Southwestern songs. Every
school was provided with Identical
phonograph records so that each
group of children received exactly
the same instruction. On the pro-
gram are such songs as "The Eyes
of Texas are Upon You" "Oh,
Susannah," "The Old Chisholm
Trail" "The Bluebonnet Flower
of Texas" and "WiI You Come to
the Bower" The last is the tune
to which Sam Houston's troops
charged Santa Annals army at
San Jacinto a hundred years ago.

Not all fat men can make a belt

Some women who are adept at
