PART OP CHARTER
EFFECTIVE TODAY
Civil Service and Finance Sec
tions in Operation and, Trial
Boards Abolished
FIREMEN OUT OF POLITICS
The civil service nnd finnn.ee sections
of the new city charter go Into effect
today.
Under the provisions of the civil
service section the police and firemen
are now officially out of politics, and
considerable chanjjc It mado in the
methods of handling other city em
ployes. In an opinion from City Solicitor
Connelly it has been made clear that
the old system of trying derelict police
men nnd firemen by trials boards was
abolished.
The Civil Service Commission now
taltei charge of this important work.
Until the city solicitor gave his
opinion administration officials were
mystified as to just what course to pur
sue In the trial of policemen nnd firo
mon. While the main' provisions of the
civil service section go into effect today,
the new roambers of the Civil Service
Commission are not elected until after
the new Council takes office.
Provision was made in the charter
bill for the selection of the civil service
commissioners by the new Council of
twenty-one. Until the new Council be
comes operative the present commis
sioners will serve.
Drastic pennltii"! nre provided in the
civil service section for policemen and
firemen found guilty of political activ
ity. After months of discussion it was
decided by the framcrs of the charter
to take the police and firemen out of
. politics by making the provisions of the
old Shern law more severe.
An opportunity for studying the ef
fect of the wotkings of the finance sec
tion will not be afforded until the fall.
On October 15 the Mayor is requited
to prcsqent to Councils a detailed esti
mate of the anticipated expenditures
for 1020, together with an etimatd
statement of the city's anticipated te
ceipts nnd expenditures for that jenr,
compiled by the city controller.

GOOD OLD DAYS ARE GONE
FOR "FLIVVERING" GYPSIES
Nomads in Darby Camp Discard Palm Reading for More Mod
ern Science of Phrenology and "Swallowing" Bad Luck
of the Credulous and Superstitious
TTmEItt3 nre the horses and the
' brown-covered wagons?"
The chief, wearing a Van Dyke beard,
looked rather bored.
"We travel in, automobiles," s.-us
Pete Kit, chief of at least a part of the
large encampment of gypsies out beyond
Darby.
AnX sure enough. Nearly every tent
has its automobile alongside, and not
an ill-fed horse was in sight nor a cov
ered wagon filled with straw, in which
the women nnd children used to be car
ried from town to town. The dark
skinned nomads do their roving at
fifteen miles nn hour, or faster if
need be.
Two hundred of them hnve already
arrived at the camp in Darby, where a
large sunny field has been rented for
the summer, llcntcd, if you please!
There was a time when the gypsies did
not use such businesslike methods.
A muttering on all sides showed that
a variety of languages were understood
inside the camp sounds thnt meant
nothing to the outsider. ISut every one
understands nnd speaks Kuglish.
"We come from everywhere." said
Chief Dli when questioned about the
last stopping place. "Some of us have
been here since spring."
"Some come from Hussia," said one
of the women. "We have some from
Bulgaria , Human! a and a lot of places."
Women Are Itcautiful
The women nte beautiful, with
lustrous black hair and ejes, and tliey
hold to tradition bj wealing the ample
dresses of rich, contrasting colors such
ns gjpsies have worn for centuries.
About their necks nre the curiously
wrought bangle chains of gold coins
from the many counttics where they
have pitched their tents.
The children grow up very fast in
gypsyland. Little Mnry Meechin, who
is twelve years old, is engaged to marry
twelve-jear-old Antonio Pctrovitch,
according to Madame Pctrovitch.
The little girl spends her days with
her future mother-in-law, on Market
street, where Madame Pctrovitch reads
fortunes by feeling the head. Hut Mary
is not one of the brides of Sunday.
Although her engagement has been for-

New Bureau Has Been Created
for the Rehabilitation of
Industrial Cripples
The State Bureau of Itehabilltation,
nn outgrowth of experience of the state
government in administration of the
workmen's compensation law, has been
created in the Department of Labor and
Industry by Governor Sproul's approval
of a bill passed In tho closing days or
the Legislature,
This bureau, which will be adminis
tered by a chief to be named by the
commissioner of labor and Industry, is
to care for persons physically handi
capped by reason of Industrial acci
dent. Provision Is made through nn appro
priation of $100,000 for a survey of
such persons in the state and for es
tablishment of relations with hospitals
to give special treatment to injured per
sons in accord with the nature of their
hurts ns well as special education to
fit them for occupations which they
may be qualified to fill after recovering
from injury.
Tho state may also supply artificial
limbs or such appliances as are needed
to enable them to earn .a living. i
The terms of the bill, which were
drawn after an extended study of the
subject by state compensation board of
ficials, provide for care of "any resi
dent or residents of the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania whose capacity to earn
as living is in any way destroyed or
impaired through industrial accident oc
curring in the commonwealth."

Somehow or other the news of the i

where they nre coming from or how
many families may be expected.

who wore a led scarf about her heal
and a full red and jellow dress. About
her neck was a diain of odd pieces of
gold, some square cut and some round,
some in unique design,
"Yes, indeed!"
She raised my hat and crossed my
forehead with the piece of silver that
was paid for tlie good luck, and then
solemnly announced that I'd live to be
ninct, -two.
Then she turned a dime into n good
luck piece by a'ing me to hold it
tightly in my hand as she spoke mjste
lious words on health and happiness
and luck and friends. When she fin
Mied the words, which I mumbled, too,
she placed my fist with its firm grip on
the dime ngninst her body. With
awful effort she gulped, and I could feel
her swallowing all my bad luck. She
had to swallow twice to get it all down.SJ
And I came away with the lucky piece!
In Philadelphia there nre probably
twenty places where the gypsies nre
practicing phrenology. Pnlm-rending
appears not to be the vogue this jear.
