by adding The representative from

Mrs. Roosevelt is SO years old.
Long before there is a peace
table, the pattern for peace will

urging women not to wait until
the time is set for a peace table.
She suggested that women seize
on every international meeting as an
opportunity TO learn all about the

columnists. She would bar these

That Mrs. Roosevelt is the spear

Mrs. Roosevelt has never claimed

Civil Service
Opposes Aiken
Annuities Bill
Senote Group Told
Cost Would Be
'Prohibitive'

Sharp opposition to the proposal
that Government employees be given
the right to retire with full an
nuities after 80 years service, with
out regard to age, was registered
with members of the Senate Civil
Service Committee today by the
Civil Service Commission.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Aiken, Republican, of Vermont and
sponsored by the Joint Conference
on Retirement, headed by Robert l..
Alcorn, was to be considered by the
committee today, but there was no
quorum. After the New Year holi-
day committee members are to be
polled on whether the bill shall be
reported or hearings held.
The committee was advised by
Harry B. Mitchell, president of the
Civil Service Commission, that the
commission believes the cost of a
straight 30-year optional retirement
plan would be 'prohibitive," that
the present law is very liberal" and
that there was no apparent reason
why those having 30 years service
should be accorded special privi-
leges.
27,500 Would Be Affected.
The committee was advised that
about 27,500 persons would be af-
fected by the bill.
The present law gives Govern
ment empleye having at least 80
years service the option of retiring
on full annuity at any time after
attaining the age of so. Further,
there is provision permitting an en-
ploye with 80 years service to retire
after the age of 55, with the an
nuity proportionately reduced.
The commissions letter said, in
part:
The commission has, on several
previous occasions, expressed the
belief that the failure to place an
age limit on optional retirement
would result in a substantial loss
to the Government from early re-
tirement of its more efficient serv-
ants and the delayed retirement of
the less efficient
I'm other words, the commission
is of the opinion that the persons
who would have availed themselves
of this option are those who believe
they could better themselves in
private life with the annuity as
basic income, while those who would
continue to retirement age will gen.
orally be the less efficient.
s34,2O0,000 Estimated Cost.
This would be particularly true
with respect to the professional and
scientific groups and also to the
trades and skilled occupations.
Commissioner Mitchell added
that. because OF the present in
fated' payroll and in the absence of
knowledge as to how many of the
2, 500 900 employees. now in Govern
rnent service will be retained after
the war, it was impossible to make
reliable estimates of the cost As
there would be permanent
roll of 100000 employees and a pay
roll of 100000. it was said the
actuaries suggested the cost Of an
optional straight 30-year retirement
plan would be about 2 per cent of
the payroll-or s34, 200, 900.
Mr.. Mitchell added that in a re-
port on companion bill in the
House, the Budget Bureau had
stated the bill would not be in
accord with the Presidents program

Red Cross Studies Here
Photographers Bring
Hollywood Touch
On First Day

Quiet returned to the American
University campus today as Made
leine Carroll, screen actress, became
just one of SO students in "'class 99'
who are training to be Red Cross
hospital staff aides for duty over
seas.
Miss Carroll, registered for the
four-week course Monday as Mrs.
Madeleine Hamilton and held her
flrst-and she hopes last-press
conference yesterday as a Red Cross
worker in what turned out to be
field day for news photographers
and newSreel men.
The cameramen and their flood
lights moved in in force and kept
Miss Carroll on the move for hours
as she enacted all over again her
first day at the university. In fact,
Red Cross officials just managed to
sandwich in press conference.
She said afterwards that she
hadn't had day like it since Holly
wood, which she forsook at the out
break of the war in order to de-
vote her time to war work.
Miss Carroll told reporters that
the incest thing about her new role
it pays $40 month until she
goes aboard, then $150-was the
dormitory life. She shares a room
with two feminine students who
are non-smokers like herself, she
pointed out. 1t is her first expert
ence living on campus as she was
schooled by tutors.
She said she was deeply impressed
with the fact that everyone here
has a sense of complete dedication
and pride in the organization and
a deep humility"
Miss Carroll came here from New
York, where she was active in the
United Seamen's Service She said
that now that recognition of the
seamen's needs had been achieved,
she was anxious to devote "110 per
cent of my time and energy to the
Red Cross.
Her husband, 1t. John Hamilton,
U. S. M c., who was a Hollywood
star under the name of Stirling
Hayden, does not know of her
decision to work for the Red Cross
He is somewhere overseas, she does
not know where. The couple recent

Eleventh Annual Appeal.
January's campaign will be the
llth annual appeal for funds and
will be conducted nationally be-
tween January IA and 80, climaxed
with the Nation wide celebrations of
the Presidents birthday.
Mr.. OConnor said that more
money than ever will be needed to
fight the epidemic that is expected
In 1914. adding that no one can tell
just where it will strike and that
epidemics may be expected at least
so long as there is wartime croWding
and mass movements of people. The
infantile paralysis epidemic this
year OF almost 1900 cases was the
third worst inxthe history Of the
United States9
Latest methods of treatment for
infantile paralysis victims are ex-
penslve.' Mr. O'Connor said, land
research to discover the cause and
cure OF infantile paralysis must go
on unrelentingly"
One-half Of the money raised dur
ing the annual appeal remains with
the National Foundations chapters,
and the other half goes to the foun-
datiohs program of research, epi-
demic aid and education. Chairman
for Maryland is Senator George L..

They went over them organ by organ -
and found nothing. Everything was in or

whole thing was more battling than de-
tective fiction. Then two veterinarians
came up with a beautifully shrewd
observation.
F. w. Schofeld, working in Canada, and
L. M. Roderick, working in North Dakota,
saw light at the same time. This murderous
COW disease occurred only in animals that
were fed clover hay. And it occurred only
when they had eaten certain kinds of clover
hay - hay that had been improperly cured.
This was the first link in the chain of
discovery
After this observation, research men
knew where to attack There was some
thing, some chemical perhaps, in badly
cured clover hay which brought on hemor-
rhage. The search for this needle of death
in the clover haystack was undertaken by
one of the country's most brilliant chemists:

RT ISN'T likely that you saw the little news
stories that ran in farm papers several
- years ago. A strange bleeding ailment
was killing off cattle in the prairie states.
This was very bad luck for the cattleman.
And, indirectly, it was bad luck for the city
man who liked beefsteak. But it would be
of no very vital concern to the general pub
lie if it weren't for one reason. Study of the
COW sickness led to a brilliant new drug
which promises to save the lives of innum
cradle human beings. The drug eliminates
one of the ancient bugaboos of surgery -
as we shall see presently. But this is getting
ahead of our story. Let's, for the moment
get back to the sick cows with the mystic
rious bleeding sickness.
What Killed the Cow?
hEsEARcH men thought some bacteria
might be responsible. They investigated and
found nothing. Then they wondered if some
degenerative disease of the liver might not
be responsible. Another blank wall. They
autopsied animals that had died of this thin
blood sickness - died because their blood
refused to clot.
