Hammond can beast of hav ni? probably the youngest employe in ti e government service in the person of George istelhorn. deputy revenue collector. Although he has not jet celebrated his thirteenth birthday, he lias been working in the revenue department for a number cf years and is considered quite as efficient as the older heads. Mr. Stelhorn's thirteenth milestone will be marked as usual by a biff celebration for they ate rare occasions with him as his birthday fr.lls on February 23. "I have been on t h !.- 'Id world fifty-six years." says Mr. Ktelhorn. "but this will make only thirteen birthdays I have celebrated. It should have, ben fourteen by 1900 wasn't a. year so' I had to endure an eight year interval without a party. Usually 1 make up for the scarcity by havinjr a whole, week's blowout but I'm afraid we'll be toe busy with the income tax this year."

BANK THE WAGE INCREASE The art of saving is being developed so splendidly in Indiana Harbor that hundreds of people tell us that they have decided to bank all or part of their wage increase each pay day. Still others, who now want to save systematically, will open new accounts. Once a week, or twice a month, as the rase may be, the savings account regularly added to soon becomes a source of protection and comfort. No need to depend upon others should the unexpected happen. Good times, big wages. Save while the making is good.

ASHURST SAYS BOARD CANNOT SELL SHIPS

Shipping Scandal is Bared!

By Democratic Sena

tor Today.

in j. itui r oti-ni i i . STAFF CORRESPONDENT I N SERVICEI WASHINGTON. Feb. H Tlic. .Shipping: Hoard is without power or authority to sell the cx-tierpian ships seized in American ports under the joint resolution of congress if May 12. 1917. Senator Henry Fountain Ashurst. Hern, of Ariz., declared today. In attempting to sell the ves. els. nhn P.arton Payne and his associates on the board were exceeding the powors vested in it by congress, the senator emphasized. He said he would call the attention of the senate today to the Tact which no lawyer would dispute that under joint resolution of May l .'. 1917. he board had no les' or other right to sell the ex-tlerman shi, he

said. " 1 1 ad .cong ress intended that the ShipJ pin P.oard should have the power toi sell the. ex-fJerman ships congress!

wovld have tiaed the word 'fcel in the joint resolution." Senator Ashurst said. "The resolution is silent on th question of selling the ex-'ierman ships and in such a case, as every lawyer knows silence is negation." A lawyer himself. Senator Achuist.

as a member of the senate judiciary j committee, assisted in framing the. joint resolution. j Senator Ashurst. said too much em-j

phaMs could not be placed on the fact that the joint resolution "gave the shipping; board no power to dispose of tlie ships: that it nuerely empowered the board to 'operate, lease, charter and etjuip' them." "In attempting to sell the ex-German ships, the board is therefore attempting to exercise a power it does not possess. Any attempt by it to exercise such a power, would, indeed, be acting- ultra vires," Senator A.Mturst said. "No construction can be placed up

on tha joint resolution which would'

justify the proposed Falo by the board of the ex-German ships which were turned over to it by congress in the name of the American people." Senator Heed Smo-tt. Kepuhlican, 08 Utah, said if it were true F.ritish interests were seeking; to acquire the ships he could not understand why Rritish money w being offered for them when the British professed an inability to pay the interest even due on money loaned them. On the conditions the bids will be only received and considered on Monday, but that none would- be accepted or any sale completed. the senate agreed to defer action pending the re-appearance of Payne before the sena'e commerce committee on Tues

day when a hearing on the shipping board's attempt to sell the ex-German ships is to be started.
