CHANGES ARE URGED IN CIVIL SERVICE BY MUNICIPAL LEAGUE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 18. Federal employes must educate their employers, Luther C. Steward, president of the National Federation of Federal Employes, said Wednesday in discussing "The Crisis in Civil Serv-lce"-at the afternoon session of the National unicipal league here. He said that they organized and affiliated with the American Federation of Labor to register themselves as workers, but they had no thought of strikes or of undivided allegiance to the government. "The marvel of Federal service is, that it has displayed any efficiency at all. under existing conditions." he declared. "Our job of bettering the conditions of the employes and promoting efficiency is an ambitious one. We are frankly facing the situation of government business as it is tinkered with, and directed by piecemeal legislation and political policies.' Negative Legislation. Civil service legislation, he pointed out, has been of a negative rather than a constructive nature and chiefly directed at the spoils system. He declared that the liveliest issue before the Federal employes today is that of reclassification. This he interpreted to mean adequate compensation for the work done, and the measure of responsibility assumed. A system of transfers should be instituted, he added, to place men where they could work most efficiently and which would afford opportunity for advancement. - "One cause of the crisis in civil service is that the board of directors of this business is too large." Albert Smith Faught of Philadelphia, secretary of the Pennsylvania Civil Service Reform association, said in continuing 4he discussion. "The board of directors includes every representative and politician who can exert an influence through some official." William Mosher of New York, who idd the preparation of a report on Federal reclassification for congress recently, praised the work of the Federal employes' organization and said that unless there is an organization which anticipates abuses or the service, or considers them as they arise, and deals with them intelligently, to prevent further trouble, nothing unless it be legislation can prevent the civil service employes from striking. J E. Barlow, city manager of Dayton, O., spoke briefly in the informal discussion which followed.

Moonshine Behind These Farm Sales in Michigan (Detroit Free Press.) Ono explanation of the frequent sales of farms in isolated sections of Oakland county. Michigan, at good prices is believed to have been found by county officers. It is expressed in one word moonshine. Recently there ha3 been a flood of raisin rum and other forms of illicit liquor finding its way into foreign set. tlements of Detroit, Pontiac and other cities. Officers believed much of it was coming from the country, and an order to make a wholesale investigation resulted. A squad of men wad deputized by Sheriff Cross to investi
gate the highways and byways of Oakland and discover the stills and arrest the operators. The order met with surprising results. Thus far about a dozen moonshine outfits have been seized. They were found in out-of-the-way place3. on farms in byroads where traffic seldom passes, hidden In cellars, open'y operated in kitchens and wherever there seemed the best chance of es caping detection. In every case, the operators were found to be foreigners. In every case; too, they had but recently moved from the cities to the farms, buying them at prices much above the market value of a year or two ago, and using agriculture a3 a blind to carry on their distilling business. Some elaborate outfits have betn taken. They consist usually of a lare kerosene oil stove, with several burners on which is set the boiler containing sour mash. Copper tubes of th. beet type were found. Invariably the stock of liquor on hand was small, although some of the stills were cap able of running nearly a gallon of raisin rum an hour. The practice of the manufacturers was not to permit the liquor to age. As fast as it left the tubes, it was bottled or jugged and loaded into the automobile which the distillers invariably possessed. Nightly trips to Detroit or Pontiac disposed of the product at prices said to have ranged hs high as $60 a quart. Raisins have been used in the manufacture of the white liquid. Bales ot them are found in most of the raids, and in one case two men were arrested when they returned to the farm where a still had been captured, canying an automobile load of the dried fruit.
Historic Old Brig. Gets Permanent Home (From Pittsburgh-Chron.-Telegraph) Erie, Pa. The United States brig Niagara, that famous unit of Perry's fleet to which his flag was transferred on the foundering of the flagship Lawrence, is to have a permanent home in this port. After nearly a century in a watery grave in Misery Bay, where it was sunk along with the other
members of the fleet on the signing of the international treaty between Great Britain and the United States, the old Niagara, having been raised in connection with the centennial celebration of Commodore Perry's victory in 1913, is far too much of a historic reliCto permit of its being jostled about from plkce to place. For the purpose of assuring it a permanent resting place, where it can be inspected by visitors from all parts of the world, the city of Erie -has made presentation of the Niagara to the United States government. Congress at its last session accepted the gift and passed a bill directing the navy department to assume charge of the old relic and to keep it in fitting repair, and also erecting, if necessary, a suitable dock for its anchorage at the port of Erie.
