all of these will have to be watered; if

GET aside at least an hour each
week to go over your plants. Pick
off dead leaves and blossoms. Turn
the pots around SO that the opposite

soil around the stems so that it will
absorb water more easily. Watch out
for the bugs so that they do not get

in December to 1880 on jan
uary 81, reduction Of but "a.
Throughout the service the
figures showed a total of 829.-
794 at the latest count, which
constitutes a decrease of 3,046
permanent workers and an in
crease of 1889 temporaries out
side of washington. During the
month the regular agencies of
the Government increased their
total of employees by 1886, at
tributed to the large number of
temporary workers hired by the
War Department to assist in
the emergency caused by the
recent floods in the Midwest.
During January, the principal
reductions in force were effected
by PWA, Interior, AAA, Com
merce and Veterans Administra-
ton in the order named, while
Social Security Board continued
to lead the parade with per-
sonnel increases. Treasury, Gen.

clerks are concerned.
The budget request, directed to
Senator McCarran in regard to
his pay raise bill, has acted as
an unwritten but nevertheless
specific command that legislators
stop pecking away at ideas of
their own, to the detriment Of the
all-embracing reorganization Sug-
gested by the Brownlow commit
tee. The House Civil Service
Committee has taken the hint, it
would seem, for inaction has
closed in like fog following the
recent hearings on the RamSpeck
bill.
Retirement liberalization, par
ticularly, seems Sidetracked. A
bill from the House containing a
joint survivorship annuity pro-
vision, similar to one which
dropped into the wastebasket last
session, was sent recently to the
Civil Service Commission with a
request that the commission look
it over, redraft any suggestions it
might have and send it back.
To date the commission hasn't
returned it, and some Hill observ-
ers declare the Budget Bureau has
crawled into the woodpile.

300 German Miners
Face Exchange Charge

METZ, France, March 8 Q.N.
SO,-More than 800 German
miners who work just this side OF
the border were under arrest to-
day for defying German currency
regulations. Germans who work
in France and are paid in francs
are permitted to exchange only
one-third of their pay into marks
before returning to Germany.
The exchange here is five francs
to the mark, but in the Saar.
where the miners live, it is $40
francs to the mark. Saturday the
miners openly defied the rule,
turning all their pay into marks
before going home.

Library, and Mrs. Louise Fox, for

Due to completion Of work, a
sizable portion of the Veterans
Administration construction di-
vision staff is to be placed on a
furlough status within the next
few weeks, with the bad news
scheduled for probable distribu-
ton on pay day, March Is.
According to Col. L. H. Trip,
director of construction at the
agency, approximately 10 per cent
of his staff is to be given notice,
and will remain on nonpay status
either until they make a connec-
tion with some other agency or
until sufficient additional con-
struction is authorized to warrant
rehiring them. 1t is not expected,
however, that more than 80 will
be let out at this time.
The men, experts in designing
building plans and other technical
features of construction work, are
Civil Service appointees certified
on six month appointments be-
cause the work of the division rises
and falls periodically. Practically
all are stationed with the main
office of the agency here.
Upon receipt of their furlough
notices they will be given their
accrued annual leave with pay,
after which they must seek work
elsewhere until their old division
hits the flow which eventually will
follow the current ebb. To date,
just one employe has been given
a furlough.
