The Civil Service Commission today observed its golden anniversary.

The Civil Service Commission was the first independent agency created in the Government. Its formation was directly brought about through the ss- sassination of President Garfield by Guiteau, a disappointed office seeker, whose crime fastened the attention of | the country on the iniquities of the | spolls system, and gave impetus to the | labors of those who long had sought to bring about reform. Drafted by Eaton, The bill embodying the present law was introduced in the Senate by Sen- ator Pendleton, Democrat, of Ohio. It was largely the work of Dorman B. Eaton, who became a member of the first commission. ‘When the act became operative, there were fewer than 14,000 classified posi- tions; at the end of the last fiscal year the number was 467,161, which repre- sents 80 per cent of the entire personnel of the Federal executive civil service. Compensation, retirement and classi- fication acts, are three of the outstand- ing pieces of supplemental legislation which have marked the progress of the Civil Service system.

Isaac Schlossbach, U. 8. N., re- tired, who accompanied Sir Hubert ‘Wilkins on his unsuccessful submarine dash to the North Pole, came close to ending his career yesterday when his sloop overturned, throwing him into the icy waters of the Shark River inlet. Schlossbach was making & trial run in the sloop, Patook, which he has been fitting up for a trip through the South Seas. When he returned to the inlet after a sail, the sloop struck a bar, which stove a hole in the bow of the vessel. The inrush of water killed the suxiliary motor. In an effort to get the sloop off the bar, Schlossbach hoisted sail. An in- stant later the boat overturned, and Schlossbach was rescued from the inlet by Coast Guards. The sloop, meanwhile, sank in the shallow water of the bar. Schlossbach was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1915. He was de- tailed to the Underseas Division of the Navy during the World War. In 1931° he was second in command on the submarine Nautilus, which carried the Wilkins’ ition. Named in Prison Blaze to | Kill Self. By the Associated Press.

And there is a sound and worthy philosophy beneath that seemingly cold and eal- loused plea . . . a philosophy that has endured for cen- turies. “If I had two loaves,” wrote the Persian poet, Sadi of Shiraz, *I would sell one, and buy white hyacinths, to feed my soul.” And throughout all history, men have sold their loaves to buy white hyacinths. We would modify the exhortation of the department store. Buy something you could do without, but something you very much want. . . . The antique chair you’ve been promising yourself. The new carpeting for the dining room. . . . The electric grandfather’s clock or the ster- ling silver. Values were never so great, for the amount expended, asnow.
