AS old as radio is the annoying
production problem of performers
kicking the microphone stand or
striking it with their hands il they
make gestures while on the air. II
a grating sound comes from your
receiving set, that's probably the
reason.
Cecil B. DeMille thought he'd
solved the problem for his radio
theater last year, by using a hang
ing microphone-but without a base
stand TO guide them, actors bumped
their heads into the mike. (Glut-
tons for punishment, these actorsD
Undaunted, c. B. went TO work
again. And this year when the cast
assembled for the theater's first pro-
duction, Manhattan Melodrama, 4"
with Myrna 10y, William Powell,
and, Of course, Don Ameche, they
found that a circular guard rail had
been built under the mike. That
suited them perfectly-they could
rest their scripts on 1t.

became connected with Casualty and

president of Sibley Hospital in 1896.
His profession gave him national
honor by electing him in 1925 as
president of the American Thera-
peutic Society. He was a member
of the house of delegates of the
American Hospital Association, a
fellow of the American College of
Hospital Administrators and mem

Dr. Taylor was born July 26, 1875.
He first became an officer of Sibley
Hospital in 1880, as president of its
medical council. Previous medical
work included service during the
World War as lieutenant with the
United States Naval Reserve Corps.
He was at various times attending
surgeon at st. Elizabeth's, Casualty

Police and Firemen
Pension Revision
Urged by Taxpayers
Association Declares
Payments Are All
Out Of Proportion

A strong demand for revision OF
the Districts retirement system for
policemen and firemen was voiced
by the Washington Taxpayers Asso-
citation last night in report which
declared the system has been a
continuing and rising source of ex-
pense" to District taxpayers.
Asserting that pensions paid to
the uniformed forces are "out of all
proportion to their numbers, salaries
and their own contributions, the
association, in report on the first
of series of surveys of various
phases of the District government,
suggested three possible remedies:
/. That new employees of the two
departments be required to be pen
stoned from the Civil Service re-
tirement fund
2. That the system be put on an
actuarial basis, which would cost
several million dollars to set up the
proper fund.
3. Or that the men be required to
pay "in proportion to their benefits, "
which would require deductions of
5 per cent. or perhaps as high as 7
per cent. of their pay.
Comparison of Costs.
On a total cost basis, the associa-
ton said, it required almost twice
as much money to pension 2,270 fire
men and policemen in the 1899 fiscal
year as was required to pension
3106 school teachers under the
teachers retirement fund. The
amount paid out to the uniformed
forces also was approximately equal
to the amount required to pension
1859 District employees who came
under the Civil Service retirement
and disability fund, the report
stated.
"A striking difference in the
three pension systems is the obvious
liberality of the policemen and
f1remen's relief compared to the
other two the association said.
"Policemen and firemen contribute
but 1874 per cent of the pensions
now being paid, which is about
o1le-Ildl dS HULL dS VIC IcdCllClS
contribute and considerably less
than that paid by other employees"
On per man basis, the report
said, in 1889 it cost more than four
times as much to pension fireman
or policeman as civil service en-
ploye, and more than twice as
much as teacher.
Admitting the hazard of the
work of these men and that, there
fore, they are entitled in some
instances to greater benefits than
others, it is evident that pensioning
them is out of all proportion to
their numbers, salaries and their
own contributions, the association
declared.
Payments to Widows.
1t was pointed out that widows
and children up to Is years of age
of deceased firemen and policemen
receive pensions. while other en-
ployes' widows and children are not
pensioned. In addition, the uni
formed force is pensioned at

his salary was as much as $1,000 a

The actual amounts paid by the
District to the three retirement
funds in the 1899 fiscal year was:

contributions were: 500 996.29 for
policemen and flremen, s3O4.177.76
for teachers and $429, ,37804 for
other employees.
The percentage of contributions
paid by the District to the uniformed
forces relief fund was 8O5 per
cent of the total. as compared to
62.6 per cent for the teachers fund
and 662 per cent for other en-
ployes. Thus, the percentage con-
tributed by employees was only 1874
per cent for policemen and fire.
