The personnel of the pension bu- reau was rapidly reduced during the world war, and when the retirement law went Into effect, in 1920, the pen- sion bureau lost a number of its old- est employes. As a result the force of the bureau was reduced far below the number required to keep the work current. ‘With the temporary employes pro- vided for in the bill now going to "The Average ' Depositor Expects integrity, compli- ance with local require- ments, accuracy and a host of other things which con- stitute the stock in trade of the banking profession.

Indorsement of the proposed “clvic club council” suggested by the Kiwanis Club was umanimously given by the Lions’ Club at a meeting of that irgani- zation in the New Willard Hotel yes- terday afternoon, and the appointment of a committee to act in co-operation with other like organizations was voted. A letter from the Klwunia Club out- lining the object of the “‘council” was read by Caleb W. O’Connor, president, after which action was taken. The club also voted to authorize Mr. O'Connor to appoint a committee on naturalization, as suggested by the Na- tional Lions’ ‘organization. This is in harmony with the program of the na- tional organization to bring about the naturalization of foreign-born residents of the United States, particularly those ¥|in_industrial communities. Reports were presented on arrange- ments being made for the ‘“charter night” celebration to be held here April 24, when it is expected that President Harding and other prominent person- ages will attend. .

C, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1922 | THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS IN MICHIGAN DIE WHEN ICE ENCRUSTS ALL FOOD DETROIT, March 23.—The hu- manitarian impulses of the people of Michigan have never been bet- ter exemplified than during the ~recent storm, when the wild ani- mal life of the entire state was threatened with extinction by the sleet and ,ice that covered the ground for’ days. Despite the measures taken by the people of the north- ern part of the state, the storm was =0 severe that it is feared that on the western side, years will be required to replace birds and beasts lost and starved. Talk is already being heard of asking the next legislature to tighten the game laws for a long number of years tp avert the passing of the birds altogether. The stories of the hardships cause voluntarily shouldered by the citi- inhal zens of northern Michigan in or- der that their friends of the air ln the forests might defeat the 8 of nature that sought to p them out, are just begin- 2 to come into Detroit. Count- less Instances are recorded of the self-sacrifice of these northern Michigan folk, who forgot their own comforts to minister to the things that usually receive but scant attention. When the ice king descended upon the district he left behind a coating of ice, through which bird olaws and beaks could not break to reach the natural food underneath. Deer and other ani- mals, usually ‘able to scrape away the snow with their hoofs and galn sustenance, found their effort balked by the icy barrler.

By the Associated Press. SANTIAGO Chile, March 21.—The American government has purchased the palatial residence of former Sen- ator Augusto Bruna, fronting For- estal Park, which will be used as the American embassy building here, The price paid was $145,000. An appropriation of $136,000 was made several years ago for an em- bassy site in Santlago, but the pur- chase was delayed oWing to difficul- tles in finding a suitable residence location within that amount. Nego- tiations for the Bruna property were begun two months ago, and last week the American residents here, including Ambassador Willlam M. Collier and his embasry attaches, subscribed $10,000 to make up the amount required, with the under- standing, it was sald, that it would be refunded if the government later appropriated the additional $10,000. Mr. Collier said .today, however, that he received word from Wash- ington Monday to the effect that the wAditional $10,000 was available {from government funds, making the local subscription unnecesgary. ‘This is the first embassy fn Solith America to be owned by the Amer- ican government. they, like the earth, were 0- that thousands of birds and Located, as ron may bo.
