LESS PM NOW
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The Uni
ted States government now pays its
employees $100 less a year than it did
62 years ago, Ethelbert Stewart, chief
clerk of the bureau of labor statistics
of the department of labor, an author
ity upon this subject, declared today.
This decrease comes at a time when
the cost of living has soared ^two-fold
and three-fold from the levels of
1854.
The salary scale of government
clerks was fixed by act of 1853. Prior
to this there had been no regular gra
dations in pay for employes. A cer
tain number would get, for instance,
$819 per annum another $837, others
$869.50 and so on. The work of in
cluding so many scattering items in
the appropriations bill vexed the com
mittee, who decided in that year to
put all of these in a lump appropria
tion at $840. This is an example of
the plan that was followed in the fix
ing of the rates of governmental pay
to its employes.
These classes have not changed
since that day save by the creation of
lower grades of pay. There were no
$720, $650, or $540 per annum em
ployes of the government at that date,
as there are now.
In 1854 no clerk listed as sucn got
under $1,200 a year. Now clerks are
listed at $840.
There are higher positions today
than there were in 1871 but these are
comparatively few and are occupied
mostly by experts. The chief increase
in the number of government em
ployes in the district is shown by the
statistics to have been in the lower
grades of the service.
MAKES TREATMENT OF IN
FANTS’ EYES OBLIGATORY
ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 15.—Minne
sota’s regulation providing that the
eyes of all babies born in the state
shall be bathed in a solution of silver
nitrate becomes effective today de
spite the objections filed by Christian
Scientists and others. Objectors ar
gued that the solution in the hands of
ignorant or incompetent persons
might do much harm.

LEGISLATURE WILL ARGUE
“PROGRESSIVE” LEGISLATION
HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 13.—
Pennsylvania’s biennial general as
sembly, when it convenes in January,
probably will spend most of its time
arguing over “progressive” laws which
now exist.
In 1913 and 1915 many “progres
sive” laws were enacted—child labor,
female labor, workmen’s compensation,
elections.' Many amendments will be
proposed, some from friends; some
from enemies. The “progressive”
elements of all parties are likely to
find their hands full preserving the
spirit of the laws as they exist.
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh
will endeavor to have a housing bill
added to the list. It will be his second
and last legislature.
Senator Boies Penrose, while still
the recognized republican leader of the
state, has nothing but the title. He is
without patronage—federal, state or
city. Congressman William S. Vare
and his brother, State Senator Edwin
H. Vare, control the Philadelphia city
administration. Governor Brumbaugh
is aligned with them. A warm fight is
in project over organization of the
legislature. Upon the result may de
I pend the political future of Penrose,
| although he has five years yet to
t serve at Washington.
The session will be engaged with
the biennial battle for passage of a
county local option bill on the liquor
license question. Granting of liquor
licenses in Pennsylvania now is exclu
sively in the hands of the judges of
the courts of the several counties.

GERMS DIE IN
“OPEN WINDOW WEEK”
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Today is
Sunshine Saturday in “Open Window
Week” in this city. It is estimated
that fresh air from open windows here
since Monday has annihilated 890,
789,653,963,468,922,377 germs and then
some. The idea was that of Dr. Chas.
Bolduan of the health department.
Monday was “Open Window Day,”
Tuesday, “Medical Examination Day,”
Wednesday, “Walks to Work’ Day,’
Thursday, “Sanitary Workshop Day,”
Friday, “Children’s Health Day,” and
Saturday and Sunday are “Sunshine”
days.
NOTICE TO PIONEERS.
There will be a meeting in Moose
hall on Friday evening for election of
officers for the ensuing year. The
charter will be closed at this time.

George Harvey
will recover $2,250 out of $5,250 which he took to the city
wrapped in a .salt sack and pinned to a trouser’s leg. He
lost it walking along the streets, and his unique “safe(
depository” indirectly leaves him short exactly $1,000.
How much money is lost each year because people
will not deposit in hanks can never he ascertained. If
you have saved up some money, don’t take chances with
it. Bring it to our Bank.
