In a sense the building is the least interesting
because the outward manifestation Of matters Of
public moment is not In the least snowy. 1t is the
most interesting from the curiosity point Of view
because all visitors find themselves speculating
as to what great state and matters
cerning the officials whose lips sealed. and
whose actions often betray unconsciously the fact
that they are burden bearers of mystery.
1t was not long ago that the name OF Jefferson
Davis at one time secretary of war, and afterwa.d
president of the Confederacy recut into the
acqueduct bridge which planned at the time
that he WAS secretary of war. Years ago the name
was chiseled out because of the pitch of feeling
that existed in the north against Davis action in
advocating secession and in heading the Confed
eracy Of the southern states. Feeling died away
and lately the name restored for the sake
Of historic accuracy and also to mark the coming
Of an era of good feeling.
On the wall of the room outside the private Of
dce OF Secretary OF War Jacob NJ. Dickinson,
at least 80 portraits Of former secretaries and
among them is the picture of Jefferson Davis. the
chfeftain of the Confederacy. The painting has
hung there unchallenged for many years. and It
will remain there barring the accident Of fire, for
ali time to come. 1t is by far the best painting in
the room a work of art, and persons who do Eot

GOOD ADVICE

When the grille at Central says
Busy" don't work yourself into
fret and a sweat; don't tell her IN
language all freckled with fire that
you think she's quite near approach
to a liar. Don't paw at the carpet nor
chew at the rag; don't roar as a bull
when it sees red flag, nor tell her
in voicing that paints the air red that
you'll have her tin-canned ere the
sun goes to bed; but murmur in sug-
airy, marshmallow words-'twill fall
on her ear as the carol of birds-to
please ring you up when the line Is
al rest, and she raises the party OF
whom you are in quest. And when
she replies she will do so just hang the
receiver up gently and not with
bang.
You scolding old fellow if you had
to bear half of the Hello Girls burden
of care, that temper of yours would
explode with a boom, and scatter
oath fragments all over the room.
They often are cussed at and groN(ed
at by man, when trying to do the best
that they can to keep service moving
with nary a hitch, when soreheads
believe them asleep at the switch;
and sometimes the harsh words that
fall on their ears fill their Threats full
of Jumps and their eyes full of tears.
Just do unto them as you'd have 9TH

she one of the crew; and you'll find
that your service far better will be
than if by your crossness you rattle
them, see?-James Barton Adams, In

CENSUS KICKERS

For weeks past, the time stretching
now into months, there has been re-
ceived at the Census Office steady
stream of kicks and protests from
enumerators who want their pay and
can't get it. Many of these enumera-
tors have been seeking a settlement
for months. Piteous appeals come in
from them. Some of them have sick
ness in their families. Some of them
are about to lose their homes unless
they can get the little sums due them.
Others have still other pressing needs.
Even food and shelter are lacking
with many. Aggravating these ap-
peals are the local troubles of the
women who have been working at
tabulating in the main Office in Wash
ington. They too have been COM
planning long and loud because they
could not get their pay. The trouble
seems to be chiefly in the internal
administration of the Office, and it is
no wonder that the chief of the bur-
eau gets out of town, as he is said to
do, in order to get away from the
torrent of complaints that pour in
upon him. His real troubles, however
will come when the cities wl;.h feel
