Of bachelorhood, for men whose sole

played no factor In such a career. The

In these rays Of fun-poking at the
new woman, ii Is pleasant, observes
Walter Wellman. to be told on the au-
thority of a government department
chief that women are the most efficient
clerks employed by Uncle Sam In his
great offices at this capital. THE av-
erage woman clerk knows her job with
the government Is the best she will ever
get" said the experienced chief, "and
her sole anxiety is to hold fast tea good
thing. Therefore she puts in solid,
earnest work, Is faithful and painstak-
ing, and striving all the time to please
her superiors and to give no possible
cause for criticism. The average man
employed In the departments is dis
contented. He imagines he was in
tended by nature for better things. The
civil service Is to him merely a stepping
stone. Perhaps one-half of the men
clerks are scheming to get into some
business or profession. They neglect
their duties more or less and have no
pride In their work. The women are
paid the same as the men and worth a
good deal more"
