WOMEN ARE BARRED
From Most of the Federal offices at
Washington.

| To the Editor OF the Globe:
| 1t is very suggestive news that comes
to us from Washington city that women
| are practically being barred out of the
| government departments there. Every
sort of an excuse is given for this dis
elimination against women but the true
one. The discovery of these feminine dis
| abilities has only recently been made.
Ever since the experiment of appointing
women was first tried. nearly forty years
ago, successive heads of departments
have testified to the satisfactory work
of their women employees. They have
even in some cases given women credit
for greater punctuality, industry and eff
hciency than men.
The United States labor commissioner
Hon. Carroll D. Wright says in recent
report that where women are employed
they are regarded as more reliable neat
industrious and polite than men, and con-
sequently are more desirable in places
for which they are fitted. Wyoming and
Utah, the commissioner says, are the
only states where women receive equal
wages with men in return for equal work
by legislative enactment Although some
progress has been made in this direction
In the last few years, Mr.. Wright thinks
there is still too much inequality
civil Service Commissioner Harlow SAYS
that the commission has a long list of
excellent women eligible for appointment,
but that 1t cannot get the appointing Of
fcerS to take them. The heads of the
departments are ashamed to confess the
real reason for this unjust discrimina-
ton, which is political one. Women
have no votes and are therefore without
political influence the places which wom-
en- hold are needed as perqusites, and
are given in payment for political serv-
ices. There is an immense pressure
brought to bear by local politicians
throughout the country for these places
Consequently, whenever there is a va
cancy to be filled, the heads of depart
ments and chiefs of bureaus almost in
variably ask for man. The civil serv-
ice regulations recognize the right to dis
criminate between the sexes, and when
ever requisition is made for a clerk,
stenographer or typewriter, the commits
sion certifes only the names of men,
The Boston (Mass) Gazette very sig
niicantly asks:
what is the opinion of the national
government as to the rights of women to
earn a living, and what can be said for
the dismissal of SO many women employees
of the government? An official answer to
this question would prove most interest
ing reading"
a state where women have the ballot, and
the working woman will sooner or later
learn that the ballot is necessary to pro-
tect her in her right to earn her own
living. -Elnora M. Babcock.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

In Mexico vanilla is much used as a
heart tonic. The plan is simply to take
a piece of vanilla, such as is used for
favoring, and to chew it.
A rapid tendency to decay, hitherto un-
known in extent, is taking place in the
teeth OF the children and youth of the
present generation. That the disease 8
assuming alarming proportions is painful
ly evident A few years ago a school COM
nittee was appointed by the British Den
tai association to acquire more knowledge
Of the condition of chidren's teeth at
various ages. OF the children of large
number of parochial, industrial and other
schools over 10000 mouths were examined
and the condition of each tooth was
marked upon a chart. Less than 10 per
cent of such boys and girls of an average
age of twelve years did not require some
treatment for decayed teeth The very
large majority. therefore, of over So per
cent demanded skilled attention.
A woman of perfect figure should weigh
13S pounds and be feet inches tall. She
should measure 5 feet inches from the
tip of one middle finger to the tip OF
the other when the arms are eX tended.
The length of the hand ought to be just
be the length of the foot. From the ell
bow to the middle finger should measure
the same as from the elbow to the middle
Of the chest From the top of the head
10 the chin should be the length of the
foot. Round the waist should measure
"A inchest and round the bust, under the
arms, should measure exactly ten inches
more. The bust measured over the arms
should be 43 inches, the upper part of
the arm Ii inches and the wrist inches.
The calf of the leg should measure i41a
inches the thigh % inches and the ankle
inches.
No one has come nearer than George
Humphrey to an accurate conception of
the secret of longevity The total number
of aged persons whose life story was ex>'
amined by him was close on 1,000 seven
ty-four of whom were centenarians. His
conclusions were: 81. That the primary
factor in longe life consists In an In
herited durability; the vital machinery
is wound up to go for given period. and
but fo, accidents or in spite of them it
will go till the time appointed. g That
an important part of the PRIMARY inheri-
tance is good digestive and nutritive
power. g. That temperance Is necessary
in the use of the nutritive functions both
in eating and drinking and in regard to
all kinds of food and drink. 4. That an
energetic temperament and active habits
conduce to longevity

DEWEY AND WHITE HOUSE.
How Tammany Tim Says Mark
Hanna Feels About 1t.

Tammany Tim, writing to the New
York Verdict. says he received a letter
from Mark Hanna a few days ago, in
which the latter says significantly:

ON THE AMERICAN PLAN.

The attitude of Peace Commissioner
schurman since his return from the
Philippines is quite suggestive of the at
tftude of the young woman of whom it is
recorded that she, saying she would
ne'er consent, consented. He has reit-
Grated, with tiresome iteration, his orig
inal statement that under no crcum-
stances would he consent to speak Of
matters in the Philippines until he had
made his official report. Still protest
ing, the peace commissioner has gone
on furnishing the American public
with information of more or less valuable
character, not official.
His latest statement is somewhat more
extended than any of his former ones
But, like all the others, it harps beauti-
fully on the same single string. 81 re.
peat says the professor for the TWEEN
tieth time or so, that the Philippine
question is essentially a question of ma
tional honor and Obligation So it ur-
doubtedly is; and the national
ton, is becoming more and more serious,
ly involved as the days go by, and mill
lens of American money are being spent
month after month in this rat-hole of ma
tional obligation, while good white
skinned American men are setting them
selves up to be slaughtered by Tagalo
bullets and tropical diseases at an ex,
pense to the government of $13 per
month and rations, exclusive of hospital
service.
And what has the learned and peace
tidote for the wounded national honor
and obligation? Why, this: He thinks
congress ought to establish 'a form OF
government in the Philippines, so that
the Tagalos may have 'a demonstration
of free government on the American
plan" There are some things which the
Tagalos have had which they show no
special love for and one of them, so far
as all prevailing knowledge of Philip
pine matters goes, is a demonstration
of free government on the American
plan
The professor is evidently one of those
very patriotic men who believe that the
only thing which any benfghted people
need to make them forever contented
and superior people is just such demon
stration. They may have their own no
tons of what free government should
be, but that doesn't count; they must
have it served to them on the American
plan, or not at all Now, free govern
ment on the American plan, served up to
the Tagalos, comes high for Americans
But the peace-loving administration,
which brought the professor away from
his library, says they shall have it, And
so let it be. When they have had 1t
provided, the next subject of interest for
the professor, his administration friends
and the rest of us is, what will they do
with it when they get it?
