AN OFFICE-HOLDING CLASS
Government Employees in Washing

They Never Even Visited.

washington. April 9.-"The records
of the civil service commission and Of
several departments in Washington dis
close the ssignment Of a vast number
of government employees to various
states I'm which as a matter of fact they
never resided, said Senator LaFOllette
today. He is chairman of the commit
tee on the census which has reported
an amendment to the census bill re-
curing applicants for positions within
the general classified service Of the
government TO take their examinations
in the states to which they are accred-
tied as legal residents.
1T was to correct this abuse of the
civil service law which requires an APP
portionment of employees of the civil
service among the several states and
territories that this amendment was
adopted" said the senator. MANY peO-
pie come to Washington. live here for
twenty-five or thirty years, and their
children claim the former residence of
the father, although they may never
have been in the state, for the purpose
of appOTtiOnment. This is not in &C
cUrdanCe with the spirit Of the civil
service law. and either the section re-
quiring apportionment should be re-
pealed or the appOrtionment should be
made on a basis of actual residence

the ruby.
There are two sorts Of recognized
rubies-the Oriental, or true ruby, and
the spineI ruby. The former is the red
variety of that scarce mineral cOrun-
DUN. The spinel ruby is composed OF
illuminate of ma gnesia.
Rubies vary from pailid rose RED
and deep red to cochineal and finally
pass into the class of the purple-red or
pigeons blood. The greatest OF the
real rubies have come from Burma and
from India. and have been found in
only very constructed sections of these
spfnel ruby has been found I'm Europe
and the United States. and several fine
stones have been obtained from South
America.
But ruby mines such as the diamond
mines of South Africa have never been
located. and the real rubies are found
few and far between The stones were
considered to have the magic power of
turning pale when brought near poison,
and ancient monarchs and tyrants
priced them for this supposed virtue.
The most historic ruby is probably
that in the center Of the great dla-

PROFANITY.

The excellent address of Fred
Ikeler, Esq to the Mems Bible I'm
ion last Sunday morning was a
timely one. 1t was on the subject
of profanity. Among other things
he said that Americans bear the
reputation of being the most
profuse swearers of any people in
the civilized world. He might
well have added that Bloomsbury
bears the reputation of being one
of the most profane towns in the
State.
Ladies cannot walk a half block
on the streets at night without hav-
ing their ears assailed with oaths
of the worst kind and often with
obscenity. Stand on the street
corner any day when the boys come
out of the schools and you will
hear the same thing among them
/ They have heard their fathers and
their older brothers swear, and
they think it is smart and manly.
Strangers who hear the language
used upon the streets, loudly anc
openly, comment upon it, and won
der why it is permitted.
Profanity is a crime for, which
one may be arrested and fined, bu
though the habit has prevailed il
this town for many years, there
has never been an arrest to on
knowledge. Instead of trying t
stop the practice on the public
streets where children and womei
are compelled to hear it, the police
themselves often set the example
Punishment for this crime is no
the best way to check it. 1t cal
be better dcne by educating thos,
who indulge in it up to the poin
where they can see that it is useless
as we'll as wicked for them, and of
fensive to others. 1t is good sub
| ject for the pulpit, the press ant
the school teachers to unite upon
and to endeavor to break up so per
nicious a habit, at least to such al
extent that it will no longer b.
heard boldly upon our streets wher'
it subjects our wo1en to insult
and gives strangers the impression
that Bloomsbury is a very wicked
town.

Two Thousand Doctors and Red Cross Nurs
es Now on Ground Situation Well
in Hand.

Twenty-four warships, 1000
troops and 1000 doctors and Red
Cross nurses are now n the quake
zone. Others are arriving hourly.
Although there are no longer any
persons found alive in the ruins,
the condition OF the survivors is
yet desperate. Few of those rescued
within the last few days have sur
vived their frightful suffering. A
large per cent. of those upon whom
it is necessary to operate, particu-
larly in the case of amputatio l, do
not survive the operations, owing
to their fearfully weakened condi-
ton. The rescuers have begun to
use a carbolic acid solution on the
ruins where the worst stencil arose.
SURVIVORS SLOWLY REvIvING.
The work Of building temporary
barracks at Reggie will be begun
within few days. Materials are
already arriving, and the building
will be rushed to completion. The
natives are anxious to join in the
work for the mental relief that it
will afford. The morale of the ma
tives is rapidly improving, and
General Mazzi reports that he has
the situation we'll in hand. The
uniniured survivors at last appear
to have emerged from their stupor
and for the first time are rendering
valuable aid in the work of rescue.
General Mazzi has established a
complete military Gordon around
Messina.
