Among the most recent cases called A tractor plow, small enough to be Seth Thomas Clocks Census Bureau. He charged that in the same division s & woman receiving $1,680 a year, her son, receiving $1,500; the sn's wife, receiving $1,560; while the husband of the woman, according to Taylor's information, is employed in the Veterans' Bureau at $2,800 & year. He declares that neither the man nor his son_are veterans. Col. Taylor insisted that the “pref- erence” provisions of the law apply just the same to veterans on the tem- porary roles. In the case of each of the dismissed veterans, he said, they were required to take the Civil Service examinations. His Investigations of the working | conditions of veterans over a long| period, Col. Taylor said, has revealed many other instances of violations of the law aside from those connected with temporary serviee. He expressed confidence that a careful investigation would sustain all his charges. Such an inquiry, he explained, could be made either by the Civil Service Commission or might be undertaken by some other agency. $20.00 Mantel Clocks 8Day Clocks $]()-00 Mahogany Case and Raised - Bronze Numerals, ELGIN 1% and Less Than 14 Prices Tailored at Fashion Park e * Arwater KEeN LARGEST RADIO STORES These Special Sales Features Only STAR RADIO Free Service Free Installation - - $35.00 Watches WASHINGTON’S 81650 D.
