WHITE CROSS PLANNING TO MOVE HEADQUARTERS | More Central Location Sought Fol- lowing Favorable Report by Order’s Treasurer. New and more centrally located quar- ters will be occupied by the American Order of the White Cross as soon as they can be found, it was annbunced at their temporary headquarters, 1616 H_street northwest, after a meeting of the board of officers yesterday. This was madé possible by the favorabl report of the ireasurer, Mrs. It M. Blug. The_object of the order, it was ai nounced, is to obtain peace in the world by first obtaining_peace in the minds of the people. Mfs. Jane B. Coates, life head, annqunced that they were negriy Yeddy to start mailing letters of cheer to cripples and shut- ins, but that thev wanted as msny names as they couid get. It was decided to hold a dinner in the Gordon Hotel tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. i “a |ing, husband,” was not included in the law, concerning dependents. The only dependents mentioned in the law, said the controller, as en- titiing an officer of the public health service to -additional allowances are | lawful wife,. unmarried children | under twenty-one years of age, and the officer's mother if she is in fact| t upon him for her chief Law Specifies Dependents. “The specific mention of the mother the officer,” continues the con- of troller in his decision, “the exclusion of the father and the limitation to unmarried children under twenty-one years of age without regard to con- ditions indicates the purpose of the statute to name all of the -individuals to be included in the term ‘depend- ents’ thereafter used in the act. The term so ligited by statute may not be extended to include others not specifi- cally mentioned, even though in fact depandent upon the offieer. “As a ‘lawful husband. is not so| inciuded,” the controller general con- | cludes, “the voucher (herewith re- turncd) in favor of Surgeon Stewart should not be paid.” imission Is made by the controller that “there have been_cases where terms of the masculine gender in a statute have been construed to in-! clud= females. where the language of the statute clearly showed the intent to include both sexes or either sex.”| : Salary Cut $76. Men who are afficers in the public| health serv it was stated unoffi- | cially, have no difficulty in get- ting increased allowances on account of the fact that they have wives. In handing down his decision in the Stewart case, the controller referred to his interpretation of the new pay bill of June 10, 1922, in which he said “the law conclusively presumes that the wife or infant child is dependent upon him (husband or father) for sup- | port.” Dr. Stewart, it was said, has no quarrel with officials of the public Bealth service, it was éxplained, but on the other hand is held in highest esteem and has been repeatedly ad- vanced in position and salary by public health officials and by the Veferans' Burea: The recent p reduced her salar; bill was said to have by $76 a month 75 CANDLES ON CAKE.
