Emergency modifications and simplifications In requirements for entrance to the Federal civil sei’vice to spur the war program are contained in full in the 59th annual report of the U. S. Civil Service Commission revealed this week. With general agreement that the needs of war have made it impossible to throw open exams to all citizens, that, moreover, the number of vacancies to be filled frequently has been been greater than the number of ap­ plicants who could pass an exam, the Commission obtained author­ ity from President Roosevelt to make sharp changes in procedure to speed recruitment.

The names of 137 Patrolmen were pegged up on the recent Sergeant’s list by action of the Civil Service Commission last week. All but one of these 137 Patrol­ men were on the list as it was originally published on Nov. 24. One Patrolman did not appear at all on the original list but is on the newly revised list. His name is Michael Rath, and his place on the list is 1140A. The cause for the rehl'uffling was the correction ox 'cne error in computation of Record Ratings of those candidates who had re­ ceived Department penalties in the form of fines and repri­ mands.

Suggests Board To OK Leaves For War Jobs Councilmen had varying views this week regarding Councilman Hugh Quinn’s introduction of a bill providing for creation o f . a “city labor relations board” to judge which employees should ob­ tain duration leaves for war jobs. In effect, the Quinn measure would take out of the hands of city department heads the right to judge which employees are en­ titled to leaves. It would do little niore, except possibly enable the city to save money if it were to ease the path of those seeking leaves.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER page Four U. S. Explains How City Salaries May Go Upward State, county and municipal jfovernmcnts may adjust wages and salaries under certain circum­ stances without prior approval by the National War Labor Board or the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the two agencies have announced in a joint statement. Adjustments of wages or sal­ aries requiring approval will bo deemed approved if the head of the State or local agency certifies to the Hoard or the Commissioner “that such adjustment is neces­ sary to correct maladjustments or to correct inequalities or gross inequities as contemplated by Executive Order No. 9250,” the statement read. The certificate must describe briefly the nature and amount of the adjustment and other necessary facts and may be accepted by the Board or the Commissioner, as the case niay be, as satisfactory evidence of the facts and of the propriety ot the adjustment.

Nathan, Jr., offered a resolution urging protection of pension rights and benefits of city employees now or yet to be­ come members of the armed serv­ ices when the Board of Estimate met Friday, December 4. The Board held it over, but it appears that the resolution may get seri­ ous consideration. The resolution grew out of a proposal by City Councilman Stanley Isaacs^ w h o several months ago threw the idea into the laps of the Board. It since remained static, awaiting spon­ sorship by a Board member. Now Mr. Nathan has gone and done it. I n a l e t t e r to fellow B o a r d m e m ­ b e rs, M r.

Sam Keller, at 198 Canal Street, Is the man that claims to offer a complete stock of broadloom rugs and carpeting all of 100 percent wool, and guaran­ tees to supply your home or apart­ ment with that cozy, warm atm os­ phere at a very reasonable price. sw ell a n d Face Lifting — An Easy Way — Boarding I C a rp e n te r I ' ^ vhaL CONTRACTORS-Alteratlons. ^ rein eiit, P laster.

One of tlie important indiistrlal problems today is the acute man. power shortage. Moie than «ver be­ fore, women are flocking back to their jobs or creating places for themselves in fields hitherto con­ sidered s t r i c t l y “no wom an’s land.’* However, many are unable to utilize their abilities, or consider training for jobs because they know of no way to provide adequate care for their children in their absence. Kindergarten nurseries are help­ ing many mothers solve this situa­ tion The Parkview Nursery School, at 517 W est 185th Street, is one of those providing daily care for small children. Their schedule in­ d u e s individualized instruction b authorized child .■specialists as well as play activity, hi^t lunches, naps, and supervision by a doctor and nurse. They an-ange special hours for children to comcide with tht working hours of the parents, and are within easy reach of many subway, bus, and trolley lines.

But many of these liave been pain*u ana unpleasant. However, a new and entirely different method 01 facial rejuvenation, without su.gery, w ax treatments, or peeling, i3 now being featured by Miss Elsie Southard at 2> East 53; d Stieet. A special electric current is used to stimulate the muscles and sagging tissue, and generally tone up cir­ culation. These, in addition to in­ structions supplied for home exer­ cises, ate vouched for by Miss Southard as sure to bring definite and amazing results. These revolu­ tionary re-vitalizing treatments re­ quire no more than 30 minutes a day, and a record of progress, through charts, is kept to show you just how effective they are. The cost is not exactly cheap, but stacks up very favorably againsi the expense, pain, and inconven­ ience of actual surgical treatment, plus the fact that no bandaging is necessary.

Am onff the propositions paid to have been placed bo-'ore h im are two which have received extensive discussion in T h e I jE A D E R : ( 1 ) the advis a b ility of a $1,200 salary m in im u m for Sta te employees; (2 ) the advisa­ b ilit y of a 12-hour day, (5-day ■week, and tim e - and - a - hfilf f o r overtim e cniploy(?cs. for State Hosi)ital I'ht 1 •tinr plan w as rciported in an oxclusive L E A D K R story last ■week.
