HILLS VIRTUAL DEMAND UPON
 HAWEEY.

The failure of Congressman Hill to include in his letter of regret to the Hawley- -Burnham harmony dinner any mention of the Sheriff. moves the Ansonia Sentinel to remark that MT. Hill missed a chance flor saying a good word at a time when it might have gone far toward healing an old scre,'' and that MT. Hill is undoubt- ediy a stand-patter so far as Presi- dent Taft is concerned. but not so in relation to Hawley."
 There have been occasional rumors that Sheriff Hawley would, on ac- count of the manifest hostility of the Hill Republicans, withdraw his can didacy for renomina tion. Indeed, some of these rumors declared that he had not. at any time, intended to become candidate, but would at a late date present the name of one of his deputies for the nomination. These rumors were effectually dis Eosed of at the recent harmony din- nerv by his statement, in substance, that he was in the hands of his friends and that if he was renomi- rated, he would accept. This leaves mo doubt that "Barkis is willing again, and really intends to become a candidate, despite untoward condi- tions, with the hope that the cam paign impetus and party discipline will pull him through.
 There was an evident expectation, or rather a hope, that Congressman Hill, who was invited to the harmony dinner,'' would either be present and endorse the Hawley candidacy. or if Sending a letter of regret, would in- olude therein at least a word of com mendation, or would delegate to his principal henchman the function of approving the Sheriff's ambition, but such expectation was not fulfilled. The silence upon the Hill side was profound. It is a reasonable infer ence that this silence was intentional Instead of coinmending the Hawley candidacy. which was the real object of the harmony dinner" Mir. Hill made a plea for party unity. As this can only be effected by withdrawal of the Sheriff's candidacy, another req sonable inference is that the Hill plea for unity was really a demand that Hawley betake himself out of the way of it's obtainment.

 Washington, May 28. Interesting comparisons, showing the
 extent of the employment of girls and
 women in private manufacturing es- tablishments in the District of Colum- bia, just made public by the Census Bureau. indicate that females hold 20 per cent. of all salaried positions; men constituted about 27 per cent. of all the clerks and stenographers; that they numbered but II per cent. of all the wage-earners; and that there were but two girls under 16 years of age, representing but per cent. of the to- tai number of this age class. One of the main objects of the cen sus inquiries regarding manufacturing g conditions in the District was to de- termine the number of persons em-
 ployed on a given date by the various establishments. It was decided by Director Durand that December 18th would represent a day of normal or average employment and, so far as practicable. the data were obtainable with reference to that day. It was found that the total number of salaried officers and clerks on De- cember 15, 1909, composed of 1,282 males, or so per cent. and 327 females, or 20 per cent.
 There were 172 officers of corpora tions of whom 166. or 97 per cent, were males and 6, or three per cent, were females.
 The total number of superintendents and managers was 254, of whom males | formed PAT, or 99 per cent. and females 2, or 1 Der cent.
 Among the clerks and stenographers proportions of males and females, the whole number employed being 1,183, of whom the males constituted 869, or 73 l per cent, and females 314. or 27 per cent.
 The salaried employees were not classified with reference to age sep aration.
 The total number of wage-earners employed on December 18th was 1895, and of this number there were 7,017 | males. or S9 per cent. and SIS females, l or Il per cent. Of the 1885 wage cent, who were Is years and more of age, and A, or 13 per cent, under six teen years of age. The male wage earners. 16 years and more of age, G. for this class; while the females num- bered 876, or Il per cent. | The grand total number of salaried employees and wage-earners was 9,5O4. The salaried employees 1909. formed only IF per cent, and the wage-earn- CTS. 1885, or 83 per cent. The grand total number of male sal aried employees and wage-earners, was S,299, the salaried males numbering L. 282 or 15 per cent, and the wage earning males. 7.017. or S5 per cent. The grand total number of female
 salaried employees and wage-earners
 was 1,205: of which the female salar- jed employees formed 327. or 27 per cent; and the female wage-earners, | SIS; or 72 per cent.
 There were three times as many wo- men in the wage-earning class as there
 wereSin the salaried class in the Dis- trict private manufacturing establish ments.

The proper oiling of macadam is sn excellent practice. It preserves the surface by preventing it from be- ing worn off and blown away as dust But flooding with oil is the reverse of excellent. It turns the fine materials of the surface into an oily mud which has a decidedly adhesive character and will be carried away by the wheels of vehicles of all kinds in small quantities until the surface of the road has disappeared as com pietely as under the old practice.
 Te automobilists, an excess of oil is a menace to the life of tires. Oil and rubber are hostile. The 6ormer ruins the latter if they are long in contact.
 Thus we find that flooding with oil is damaging, not only to the road but in other ways.

The Owen bill, now pending in
 Congress, providing for a National Health bureau, would if enacted con- centrate under control of the new de- partmeut all medical, chemical and quarantine functions as well as au- thority over veterinary service, sani- tary engineering and animal life, and would esta blish "a bureau of blo- logy'' This measure is said to be urged by the American Medical as sociation (allopathic) and to be op- posed by practitioners of the homeo- pathic and other schools not Tn unison with the allopaths.

Senator Bulkeley was absent and urpaired upon the important votes upon the railroad bill in the Senate, Thursday; he was in Connecticut, working upon his political fences. He has, it is reported, called from Wash irgton Charles Phelps of Wallingford to put ginger into his campaign. Thelps was Senator o. H. Platt's secretary for some years, and was Q Rrandegee worker against Hill. And 1t is said that Representative N. Bur- ton Rogers of Danbury represents MT. Buikeley in his part of the state.
 It may perhaps be assumed from this sudden activity Of Senator Bulke- ley, which has taken him away from Washington at a critical time in na- tional legislation, that he has become seriously alarmed over the progress of the Mclean campaign.

Born to starve.

Many years ago an American natu- ralist, Dana, discovered on the surface of the sea little animal of so singu- lar a character that he named it "monstrilla." 1t is small crustaceau akin to the cyclops so common ill ponds. But. while the latter are fur nished with all that is necessary to capture and digest their food, the mon. strilla has neither apparatus for seiz. ing prey nor any digestive tube. It is richly provided with muscles, nervous system and organs of sense; 1t lacks only what is necessary to prolong life by alimentation. The monstrilla is doomed, therefore, to natural death.- Exchange.
