Cause of the Order.

But Why the order about liquor"
1t IS TO protect the women workers
OF the bureau from having to work
next to men who love the flowing bowl
Director Harris says. by allowing even
the odor of liquor in the building. 1t
would be encouraging the men to be-
come drunkards. Any report of the
odor of King Alcohol on any ones
breath is the subject of Immediate
investigation by the director, and if
the man has been warned before, he
IS Indefinitely suspended. which
amounts practically to q dismissal In
the words of Director Harris.
Il issued the first order by posting
notices about the building soon after
| came into office" the director con-
unue6. Then / wrote letters to those
who We're known to have come TO work
in an intoxicated condition. Some took
the warning Others didn't / have
suspended five men indefinitely. As
yet / have suspended no one for
merely having a liquor breath. But if
case does come to me j will dis
first instance | shall not suspend them.
Hard for Young Women.
Tt is very disagreeable for the young
women of the bureau TO have to sit
throughout the day with the odor Of IL
quor constantly around, and I do not in
tend TO tolerate such conditions" Any
one smelling the odor of intoxicating IL
quor on the breath of a fellow-employe is
in duty bound under the order it is ex-
planned. TO convey the information to the
director. who win take immediate ac-
ton.
Sickness Will not be accepted as an. eX-
cuse for having the odor of liquor on the
breath. Even though a person on the way
TO work should feel faint and be given IL
quor, 1t Will be no excuse in the eyes OF
the director. IF a person is sick enough
to take drink of whisky. then that party
should not come TO work, but should stay
at home" according to Director Harris
But. however that may be, the cdict is
working some hardship in the census bu-
reau. In one case, it was learned today,
the director has gone down in his own
pocket to help the family OF "A man who
was discharged as result of the edict

SHE LIVED WITH SKELETON
Aged and Eccentric English Woman
Expected Termination OF Dead
Splnster Friend.

The discovery of skeleton of a
woman who died apparently two or
three years ago, and whose remains
have been kept in a bedroom by an.
other woman, so that they could both
be buried together" has been made by
the police at Wimborne, Dorset, Eng.
land.
An inquest was held the other day,
and as strange a story was told as has
probably ever been heard in a coro-
ner's court.
Sarah Mary Kearley, spinster. aged
sixty-four, said the remains which
were found In bed we're those of Ellen
Griffin, who was nearly seventy years
of age and who had lived with witness
over thirty years after leaving service
together in London.
"One morning" continued witness,
Miss Griffin was not so we'll, and she
tainted and died before went to work
/ slept In the same bed two nights with
the body. thinking that she would
come to life again"
Witness said she did not tell anyone
of the death IS she intended keeping
the remains as long as she lived, so
that they could both be buried to-
gether.
They had no quarrel, witness de-
clared. and added she worked for and
kept Miss Griffin, who could only do
little sewing.
The town surveyor. who said he had
known Miss Kearley for many years,
said that both women we're eccentric.
A doctor said the skeleton was found
was not vestige Of flesh remaining,
and from an examination his opinion
was that death WAS due to natural
causes.
An open verdict was returned
