KAHN Inc Optometrists and Opticlans 935 F Street A GIVIL SERVICE RULE ROUSES VETERANS Foreign War Men Claim Ex- Soldiers Get Unfair Deal. in District. Objection to the way the rule giv- ing preference to veterans in civil service examinations s carried out was voiced by the District of Colum- bia division of the Veterans of For- eign Wars at a meeting at the Na- tional Guard Armory, 472 L street northwest, last night. A resolution was adopted asking that the present executive order in this regard be rescinded. William H. Carroll explained that a veteran's percentage in a civil service examination is increased by five points if he is normal, and if dis- abled it is increased ten points. It was pointed out, however, that if a veteran got a total of eighty-five to his credit a person who never wore the uniform and got ninty-one points would receive the appoinment. Want 0ld System. The veterans want -the old system, which provides that a veteran who receives a passing grade will be given preference c all the other appli- cants. The local delegates will pre- sent the suggestion to the national encampment at Norfolk, Va. in August The veterans also will ask that a committee of one member from each | veteran organization be allowed to examine the list of civil service ap- vointments each month . Mr. Carroll said veterans getting $1,460 were being let out of the em- ploy of the Shipping Board in order to let the sons of congressmen oc- cupy their places at a salary of $2,200. The organization will also ask the national encampment to investigate the charges that married women who are not devendent upon their salaries are occupying positions that should be given to veterans. \ delegates also will ask that the reclassification bill be amended so that section 6, paragraph 5. of the bill. which piovides for a non- ction of salary of a government o if such person is a civil war n or the widow of a civil war | veteran, will include all veterans.

If a policeman is needed in a hurry. headquarters transmits the call to the man in the booth and he ais- patches the motor cycle officer the Ecene of trouble. This saves the delay that otherwise would occur if the policeman had to respond from a precinct station. GUARD POSTS OPENED WITHOUT CIVIL SERVICE Executive Order Allows Naming of Retired Service Men to Jobs. Positions of guard in the office of the superintendent of the State War and Navy department bulldings dur- ing the remainder of the fiscal year 1923 and during the fiscal year 1924 may be filled by the superintendent “without compliance with the civil service law and rules, when filled by suitably qualified retired enlisted men from the Army, Navy or Marine Corps, or retired firemen or police- men of the District of Columbia who have been retired therefrom under honorable conditions.” An executive order to that effect has just been issued by the President. 1“The excessive turnover in the guard force,” says the order, “due to in- {adequate salaries under existing con- iaitions. and the desirability of as- signing to the temporary frame build- lings as guards men who have had training and experience in the fire department, indicate the desirability of the exception proposed. It is an- ticipated that the reclassification act, which becomes effective July 1, 1924, will take care of the situation after that date. The Civil Service Com- {mission concurs with the Secretary of State and the acting secetaries of War and Navy in recommending this jorder.” WORK NAMES WEYMOUTH.

THE EVENING - STAR, WASHINGTON SCORES CRTEH ASUNCALEED FOR A. J. Driscoll Answers Mrs. Rafter on Community Use of School Buildings. Rival Bootleggers Report EachOther On CanadaBorder By the Associated Press. TORONTO, June 20.—Rival boot- legging gangs are warring on the Niagara frontier and both Ameri- can and Canadian officials charged with enforcement of liquor laws have been enabled to make nu- merous arrests on anonymous tips recelved from the smugglers them- selves. Officlals _announced Stirped by the charges of Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president of the District Congress of Mothers and Parent- Teacher Associations, that the in- creasing use of school buildings by community and other outside or- sanizations is menacing the health and welfare of school children, A. J. Driscoll, president of the Mid-City Citizens' Association, today issued a | statement in defense of the commu- nity gatherings. The action of the organization which Mrs. Rafter heads, in passing a resolution criticising the use of public school buildings “by-the adults and organizations of our city was particularly unfortunate and entirely uncalled for,” sald Mr. Driscoll. Alleges the Known Fact. “A statement of the facts as must have been in possession of the chair- |man of the meeting (Mrs. Rafter) would _indicate that only 17 -out of some 150 school buildings are used |for community purposes and public | gathering, and in these buildings | granted the broader use practically | all meetings are held in the assembly hall today that bootleggers had fallen to robbing one another and that they now were giving tips to officials. In this connection, provincial au- thorities learned that gangs of hardened criminals who entered the smuggling craft when prohibi- tion became effective were prey- ing on bootleggers’ caches at points along the Niagara river and Lake Ontario. Moreover, they have turned highwaymen, operating in swift motor cars along lonely country roads and holding up liquor " carav: Then they sell the rum they have stolen and the original , owners, fearful them- selves of belng arrested for boot- legging, seldom report the rob- berles, except anonymously. Provincial officials have charged to feudists recent bomb throwing in Hamilton and Toronto, which did no serious damage. GRADUATES FROM CORNELL. Wright Johnson, son of John G.
