DRY ARMY HARD HIT BY FAILURE TO PASSTESTS Shortage of Agents Will Necessitate New Examinations. By Times Special WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.—With Government prohibition enforcement in many sections facing dis- . .rqptio because of a lack of eligibles for the positions of agents and inspectors, the Civil Service commission has decided to hold new examinations for these positions. Definite announcement is expected next week, as soon as Prohibition Commissioner James M. Doran can complete a check being made to ascertain what sections will be hit hardest. It was disclosed today that only 4,000 of the 12,500 applicants who took the civil service examination for agents or inspectors in May, 1927. passed. Out of some 2,000 prohibition agents taking the examination, less than 700 passed. Commissioner Doran just has furnished administrators with lists showing the names of agents in 'their districts who failed to pass the examination. Under existing law, all agents who failed must be discharged and their places filled by successful candidates. “The difficulty in doing so, however. is caused by the fact that although there are more than twice the number of needed eligibles, the number of successful applicants is distributed very unevenly,” said Doran. “Some districts have a shortage of eligibles, while in others there are three or four times the number required to fill vacancies caused by failure of present agents.” In all districts where there is a shortage of eligibles, new examinations will be held. In the meantime in such localities the present agents will continue to hold their jobs, even though they failed to pass. “The Pittsburgh and Philadelphia districts appear to be about the hardest hit,” Doran said. HOUSE IS DEVASTATED; PIGEON FOUND CULPRIT Surprised Home Owner Calls Cops When He Views Scene. By United Press PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 20.—Returning home from his vacation, Robert Ransford opened his front door and pushed on the light. Such a scene of destruction met his eyes, that he beat a nasty retreat and went to the nearest drug store to call the police. Two officers answered the call for assistance post-haste. They cautiously opened the front door and found draperies awry, curtains torn to shreds and pictures and vases scattered over the floor. Upstairs they found lamps overturned, bureau scarfs pulled off. and in the bathroom, bottles broken _ on the tiled floor. In the back room they discovered the culprit—a very tired and very hungry pigeon asleep on the bed post. JUDGE RULES 45 TOO OLD FOR MAN TO WED Answer to Age Question Is Given in Divorce Hearing.

De Haven in a divorce suit here. “No bachelor 45 or over should marry,” he said. , “After a man reaches 45 he is too set in his ways to adjust himself with a mate,” the judge declared, in granting Mrs. Cornelia Robinson a divorce from J. B. Robinson, 45. They had been married only a few weeks. It was Robinson’s first marital 1 venture and he admitted it was a failure.
