eight OF the dear ladies fell unwilling VIC
time to the infection.
Any one familiar with Washington office
life knows that 1t would be a banner record
for any one Of the big departments to
marry on eight of its lady employees in as
many years; I have been In one Of the
largest for over ten years and during that
entire time recall the names of but one
or two ladies who resigned to wear the
orange blossoms-they are all there now,
every one Of them that aren't dead; SO
when 1t Is borne in mind that eight shook
the dust from their skirts in a single little
division of one small bureau. the appalling
pIoportionate average will be seen to be
fairly stunning to the senses.
Furthermore, the matrimonial microbe
In that division caught two Of the men
clarks, and, to make matters still more in
teresting. four more resigned from the serv-
ice to accept better places on the outside.
1t requires neither discrimination nor as
tuteness for the ladies to discern which way
the wind is blowing In the rural free deliv-
cry in the Busch building and it is their
own fault If they don't feel the zephyrs."

After hearing Secretary Taft and Super
vising Architect Taylor. the emergency
subcommittee Of the House committee on
appropriations yesterday decided to delay
action regarding the 100000 asked for by
the President for San Francisco and the
$66d000 asked for to repair the federal
buildings damaged In California by the re-
cent earthquake.
As to the emergency fund, Secretary Taft
explained that he would be able In q week
or ten days to submit a detailed estimate
which would probably cover everything
which would be needed for relief purposes.
He was unable to state what that amount
would be.
The estimate regarding the buildings was
a preliminary recommendation made by tel
egraph on a cursory examination Of the
damage done to the buildings In question.
These buildings are in such shape that they
are being used and the Treasury Depart
ment is requested to have detailed esti-
mates made at once, with the intention OF
having the amount carried In the general
deficiency bill, which will be taken up by
the committee in two weeks or more Sec
rotary Taft informed the committee that
there would continue to be considerable
expenditure for relief purposes for some
time to come.
