Tho bill provide that th duties
t.t .vi.r moot ion in the govern
ment service shall be specified and ' 8
classified according to service rang-
ing from the professional and scien-
tific to unskilled lalx.r with trade
defined according" to requirements
and qualifications and with rates
of pay and rules for promotion ac
cording to proved ability Irrespec-
tive of sex.
The legi-lation Is desired to
correct condition disclosed by the
Conirressional Joint Reclassification
Commission which found that patch
work legislation dealing with gov-
ernment machinery and personnel
had brought about a condition
where as many as a dozen different
rates of pny exist for the same
work promotions on merit are
blocked professional workers are
paid less than common labor wo-
men are pnid less than men for the
same work or work of comparable
skill and wholesale lark of stand-
ards and uniformity in employment
policy is increasing the operating
costs of the government as well a
destroying its efficiency.
! The Senate Committee proposes
some amendments to the re-'lnssifi-I
cation bill as passed by the House.
I Most important of these are the
substitution of the U. S. Civil Serv
ice Commission for the Bureau of
the Budget as the classifying ad-
ministrative agency and the re-
storation of the higher rates of pay
originally proposed in the House
bill for the professional and scien-
tific services but not adopted by
the House. To the list of pro-
fessional occupations are added edi-
tors illustrators nurses and trans-
portation experts.

due consultation and study as t'

as soon as possible for action.
Other important features of the
bill arc provision for transfer of
employes between departments at
the same or higher pay on showing
of Qualifications: the establishment
of an efficiency rating system by j runry
consultation with heads of detiart-1 Saturday

White Found to be
Better Than Colors
By Housewives
It is a w-.e woman who discovers
early n her career as a housewife
that pure white fabrics are more
economical for household purposes
than those of colors note a writer
in the Kansas City Star. Always
pure white tablo cloth dollies and
runners are the best. If they are
colored the color fades in time leav-
ing an unattractive result. More-
over if they are colored they can-
not be boiled and after all boiling
is the most satisfactory method for
keeping cottons or linens spotless
and sweet.
Another thing to bear in mind:
Colored fabrics sometimes "run"
in the washing. This makes it nec-
essary to wash them separately from
the white fabrics ana this means
more work on washday.
It is a good plan to select purs
white bath and band towels. Wash
cloths should always be pure white
for wash cloths ouglit certainly to
be boiled quite frequently to keep
them sweet and white.
Some women even prefer purs)
white ki'chen apron. To be sure
the obi fa.-Juoned dark che ked
aprons do not show the mil but
lin y lx ome soiled J 1st a toon. The
pure white apron has the ad'.anlage
to the scrupulous housewife c.f
showing soil. You can always tell
when it should be discarded for a
clean one. And the pure whit
apron can be washed with other
white clothes and never takes on
that dingy look that conies to col-
ored aprons when they have be-
come faded.
Mothers sometimes regard it as
an extravagance to dress children
in pure white. But the same ad-
vantage that hold in the case of
household linens holds in children's
clothes. This is especially true in
the cae of very young children
whose clothes n.ust be washed frequently.
