In Defense Of the "Lady Clerks"
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

This seems to be a season when govern
n:ent clerks and their attributes furnish
material for the efforts of budding states-
men, and in the discussion of the subject
through the newspapers, l observe that the
lady clerks are not forgotten. One indi-
vidual-he is man enough to sign his name
l will admit-goes into considerable detail
regarding the ladies. employed in the de-
partments, and he arrives at the conclusion
that they are a bad lot, and should be
eliminated just as quickly as possible for
the good of the government and for the
benefit of the male clerks to whose ad-
vaneement these ladies-strange admission
