Tale of Pup With
No Tail Touching
Tale in Telling

If you pick Miss Betty Bear up by
the tail her eyes will pop out. Partly
because she will be very much amazed
mostly because she has no tail. She
is the eight weeks-old thoroughbred
Boston bull terrier Of Walter O,Neal
of MiSSoula.
What she lacks in tail-theres only
a tuft of hair where a tail should
grow-she makes up in intelligence.
Physically perfect, mentally more than
alert, she shakes hands, speaks, chews
gum (and likes it, and otherwise per-
forms.

had inflicted by a shot while in pur-
suit of him. Doubt was later expressed
BY Mckenzie as to the Indians having

The account which Peter Koch, at

|CKES URGES
JAIL FOR CIVIL
SERVICE ABUSE

From the Capitol through the
ranks of 114,000 Government en-
ployes here reverberations rocked
today from the appeal of Secretary
of the Interior Harold L. Ickes that
abuses of the Spoils system be made
a penal offense.
In a nationwide broadcast from
the Town Hall meeting in New
York last night, Ickes declared:
"Who knows but that in the
future any improper interference
or manipulation of appointments
will be made q penal OffenSe?
This is not as revolutionary as it
NAV sound. There is a statute
at present prohibiting Members
of Congress and other Govern
ment officers from prosecuting
claims against the Government.
Why not law preventing taking
advantage of the Government
through appointments"
PERIODICAL EXAMS
At the same time, Ickes urged
that periodical examinations be
required of Civil Service employees.
Asserting that competition in itself
does not insure against "the
drones, the inefficient and the mis-
fits" the Secretary declared that
the term Civil Service" does not
of itself guarantee faithful per
formance Of duty in the public in
terest."
There should be no Sit-dOwn
life tenure of office merely be-
cause the Government is the
employer and the striker has
managed to pass a competitive
examination. The first test
should not be the final one"
The question uppermoSt in the
minds of both Government work
ers and legislators was the IckeS
definition of improper interfer-
ence or manipulation" Of job ap-
pointmentS.
In many quarters, it was felt
that his recommendation preSaged
little change inaSmuch as he had
given Postmaster General Farley
a clean bill Of health in the ad-
dress. Declaring Farley had as lit
tie control as the average citizen
over the development of the pat
ronage system, IckeS asserted:
'T arn speaking of the Far
IeyiSm' in Government employ
ment, and the Mr.. Farley
whose name was misused in
the last campaign to signify =
political Goliath dripping with
the blood of spOilS. And
would like to testify at this
time that in all my dealings
with Mr.. Farley he has never
made a demand on me for the
appointment Of a single per-
son." y.
DOESN'T QUALIFY
Exemption from Civil Service
does not necessarily unqualify
the personnel of emergency
agencies, IckeS said. The Secre-
tary declared he had made over
$4,000 non-Civil Service appoint
ments in the last three and a
half years and added that the
assertion he had made no politi-
cal appointments would be un-
true, explaining that he had
harkened to the recommends
tions of Representatives, Sena-
tors and governors.
The reorganization plan Of
President Roosevelt was de-
Scribed by Ickes as a stand for
the most fearless, comprehen-
sive and practical system Of Fed
