willow" Plumes.
From McClure's.


The tying of the fues of willow"
plumes-the sweeping artificial ostrich
feathers Of the present fashion-has
become during the last two years a
very extensive industry in New York
tenements. The factories where these
feathers are made are chiefly located
in the Italian districts of the upper
East Side. On some streets the ground
floor and first floor of almost every
house is occupied by small factories
and workshops, and during the season
from March to June and from Sep
TENDER to December-the window of
every factory has sign in Italian
women wanted to work in willow"
Most Of the curling and dyeing of the
feathers is done in the factories; but rs
per cent OF the "willowing''-the most
lengthy and monotonous part OF the
trade-is done in the tenements.
"Willowing" consists in tying to
every "iue" or filmy strand Of a good
ostrich feather two strands stripped
from inferior ostrich feathers. The
work is paid for by the inch; five or
six cents an inch in factories, and four
or five cents an inch in the homes for
black plumes and cent less for white.
The inch 10 measured on the stem Of
the original feather, and therefore in
wolves the tying of innumerable deli
cate knots for each inch of finished
work A tenement worker cannot make
an lS-inch feather in less than IN or
two days. She is paid - or 80 cents
for this work. The feather sells at re-
tail anywhere from $3.50 to $25.

JOHNSTON AND HUGHES
GET TWO GOOD SEATS
Vacant Places in Senate Left BY Nc
Emery and Daniel Are Ap-
portioned to Claimants.

Two of the most desirable seats in the
United States Senate chamber became
vacant this week with the deaths of
Senators McEnery of Louisiana and Dan
lei of Virginia. Senators Johnston of
Alabama and Hughes of Colorado are to
have the two seats.
Precedence, not of seniority of service
or length of years, but of filing claims on
seat made vacant by death or defeat,
determines the succession of occupancy
OF seats in the upper house of Congress.
On some of the desirable seats in the
chamber claims are frequently filed long
before there is even a proba biIity of its
being vacated.
Senator Hughes had luck with him in
the recent scramble for the seats occu-
pied by the two wearers of the toga who
have just died. He first filed a claim on
the seat of Senator McEnery, but found
that Senator Johnston was ahead of him
by three or four minutes. He determined
to bide his time. When Senator Daniels
death became known he was prompt In
filing a claim on the seat. His was the
first claim. He got seat much better
than that obtained by Senator Johnston.
Senator Daniels seat was second from
the center aisle in the front row on the
democratic side of the chamber. That of
Mr. McEnery was the sixth from the
aisle.

Big Work to Be Undertaken Calls
For Close Inspeotion-Cutting
Ali Around.

With big work ready to proceed in the
engineer department of the District gov
eminent, the various heads Of depart
ments find themselves hampered with a
limitation in the appropriation available
today. which allows the District only
$4,000 for per diem services in the face
of an estimated need of $4,000. Mos,
Of this is for the inspection of work to
see that it is done safely. wisely and

Commissioner Judson turned the matter
over to his two army assistants, asking
them to recommend program that
would be adhered to strictly for the year
They recommended that the surface d.

COO and the municipal architect $4,000.
Allotments Are Cut.
I'm going over this question: says the
report Of the assistants, 1T Is found thai
the allotments made by the various heads
of departments exceeded the total allot-
ments by $4,000. and it has been neces.
sary to cut that much from the aIlot-
ments to the various departments.
I'VE feel that $685. 900 is not sufficient
to carry the necessary per diem employees
throughout the fiscal year without seri.
ously affecting the inspection of the
work If the limitation is not to be ex-
ceeded, the heads Of the various depart
ments must be impressed with the idea
that IT is necessary for them to see that
their per diem employees are so used as to
keep their cost within the limitation as
signed to them from the start"
Close PAIRING Necessary.
AS an example Of what sort of pairing
the engineers will have to do, take the
sewer department for an example. Asa
Phillips, superintendent, knows that he
will have 2,1O0 days Of work at 81 per
day for COMPETENT inspectors. That, add
ed to the Office work, assistant engineers
etc, adds up to nearly $3.50.
He will have to be satisfied with about
$4,000 less. The municipal architect has
twenty-five buildings, nearly every one
of them schools, which will be put up
or repaired during the year, and in.
spections should be made frequently II
the program of the past is a criterion
