Civil War Claims r, The practice originally laid lown under the ct 6f May, 1920, made the $72 rate' for helpless Civil War veterans Commence from the date of. medical examination of pension ers by a surgeon or a board of sur geons of the Pension Bureau. More than 52,000 claims for the $72 rate have been allowed and 34,537 were drawing that rate per month on June 30, 1922. In the past' fiscal year, 130,736 pension claims were disposed .of and 2,269,767 checks prepared and sent outf At ihe close of the year 82, 616 claims under various pension laws were pending. " Under the act of May,1920, pro viding ; for the retirement' of civil service employes, there were 7,567 annuitants on the roll, of whom 6, 667 were retired for age, the re mainder for disability. The retire ment law, with several broadening and liberalizing acts has been in operation for two years, the Com missioner declared, and experience indicates it needs but few changes. It was suggested tht employes eli gible for retirement at the age of 70 should have the option of retir ing at 65; that retention beyond 65 should be by agreement between the employe and head of his depart ment; and that no employe should be retained beyond the age of 70.

KNIGHT, County Sec. FOUR MILLION DOLLAR FIRE IS RACING IS OREGON TOWN , WITH IRELAND IS IT NOW WAR UNTO DEATH (By The Associated Press) London, Dec. 8. Irish Republi cans, says a Dublin dispatch to thc Evening Standard, have issued a manifesto, describing Timothy Healy the governor general of Ireland, as a life-long enemy to the nation and the dispatch add, "The Fight will go on as long as there is a man in Ireland. It is a war to the death." (By The Associated Press) , Portland, "Ore., Dec. 8. A fire is today raging i Astoria,' Ore., near this city. Six. blocks in the business district have been burned and the entire town is threatened to be wiped out. The Portland Fire Department has responded to the call for help. The police here estimate the losses so far, to be four million dollars. ilar provisions were suggested for those eligible for retirement at 62 and 65 years of age. The present scale of annuities should be enlarg ed to provide a somewhat large an nuity for all classes, the commis sioner said, and particularly, for those receiving less than $30 per month.

CLARA PHILLIPS (By Tha Associated Press) Los Angeles, Dec. 8. Officials here are quoted today as saying that they hardly know in what direction to look for Clara Phillips, the ham mer murderess, who sawed her way to freedom ' from the county jail here last Tuesday. So far the scores of tips that.have come to them have , 'j jtA' Ai." A Provet' to be worthless. Songs by Mrs. Farrarland Mrs. Lang Mrs. Farrar and Mrs. Lang sang two beautiful songs each. Our peo ple always en joy hearing, these two ladies sing. They were loudly ap plauded. Six ladies were initiated into the mysteries of Kiwanis, or rather, they thought they were gong to receive this initiation. Out of a hat wherc'n had bean placed the names of all the ladies present, six names we're drawn for initiation, into thc Kiwanis Club of Tarboro. ' The following names were drawn : Mrs. Irving Morris, Mrs. L. D. Pen der, Mrs. B. B. Slaughter, Miss Li la Koscnbaum, Miss Lillian Pitt and Mrs. C. W. Wifson. In the absence of Mr. Henry Bourne, the reception of these la dies into thc club fell to the lot of Kiwanian Brown. The candidates with their hands extended at arms length towards him and there to re main until they were ordered to low er them. Kiwanian Brown, after he started, forgot something and out he went still instructing the lady candidates to remain firm and steady. In a short while some of the ladies be gan to waver and twist their heads and show signs of unrest, and a bout that time Kiwanian Brown very politely and gracefully stated to the canddates that inasmuch as the book containing the obligation could not be found this very formal initiation would have to be postponed to the next annual meeting one year hence and when these ladies sat down every body shrieked and Kiwanian Brown simply smiled and took his seat.' Lieut. -GoYernor James Speaks Kiwanian amea was very neatly introduced by Kiwanian Haynes. Kiwanian James is now the lieu tenant-governor of this district, hay-1 ing been elected to this position at the recent Kiwanis Convention at Asheville. v .: ; : . . ,ir He spoke briefly, stating that the Kiwanis was not, a religious nor a sectarian, nor a cliurch, nor a fra ternal, t.or political organisation but naton to the first lady and then she wll pass it down the line. Two min utes will, be allowed to pass the car nation, along its way, but after two minutes have passed the last holder will step to the front." This w-as repeated with a white carnations, and the way those car nations went down the line was a sight for no lady wanted' to get caught for the next stunt on the program. However, someone had to bc caught nnd'it fell to the lot of Mrs. Slaughter and Mrs. Edgar Harris to take the s-tunt. Kiwanian Beck gave them a pair of boxing gloves and "told them to "got to it," but just then, after the two ladies had looked "kinder curious," he very po litely informed them that he had something better for them than box ing gloves and he presented them with two beautiful gifts. To Mrs. j Slaughter he presented a silver pic-I ture case, given by M. Heilbroner. I To Mrs. Harris he presented a silver pin, given by Bell's Sons.

"With reference to the couplings at the local mill it is true that the couplin.i there differs from the stan dard size but as we had the proper connection on our truck there was absolutely not a second, lost in this re.-pect."
