They appeared with the present first lady of the land in a photograph on her Christmas cards a few weeks ago, and the greeting in her handwriting below the picture was |from “Lou Henry Hoover, Wee- jie and Pat.” “Meggie,” a little black Scottish “Major”, a police dog, belong to President-elect and Mrs. Roosevelt. And “Dot” is Mrs. Roosevelt’s sad- dle horse, ‘Meggie’ Dislikes Baths very fat and, when she is taken for a walk, she, always barks until she reaches the end of the first block, after which her deportment is most dignified. She likes to sleep in fireplaces, loathes the resultant baths, and never makes a fuss over anyone except Mrs. Roosevelt. Before he went away to school, | “Meggie” used to belong to the Roosevelts’ youngest son, John. After he left, she attached herself to Mrs. Roosevelt. Until recently she divided her time between Hyde Park and Albany, but she is living at present at 49 East 65th street, the Roosevelt town house. Someone gave her a bright red collar for Christmas with a silver plate on it, bearing the inscription, “Meggie—the White House— Washington.” She wasn’t much j interested in it, however. ~ ‘Major’ Well Trained “Major,” a handsome buff ‘and black German shepherd trained for Government Asks ! Postmaster Charles L. Williams has been called by W. E. Buffing- ton, comptroller of the postoffice department, at Washington, to |promptly report on all employes under his supervision in the post- office here, receiving pensions. Congress has demanded com- prehensive reports on all employes receiving pensions, disability al- lowances, retirement pay and dis- ability compensations. Among the employes of this de- partment many of them are veter- ans, it is said, and these are fav- ored by extra credit when taking civil service examinations, under executive order. Recent investigations of the ser- vice show that many of these vet-{ erans draw compensation for war- {time service and the full salary | for the position which they hold. | The idea of congress is. to, in |some way, balance this so-called |compensation with the salaries re- j ceived by others in the federal ser- jvice. The results of Mr. Buffing- ton’s inquiries will be handed to congress. Postmaster Williams told The Citizen today that there are but two employes in the postoffice de- | partment who may be affected | | { }and these are Arthur Pastorini, of the registry department and }Samuel Leggett, of the delivery department.
