closet, is SO great a convenience that it is
almost a necessity. The brush itself is
made of lengths of red wooden yarn. The
handle, about three feet long, is Of wick
err. There Is loop in the end of the
handle with which to hang it up. and
there is a leather case to put over the
brush, which would protect any nearby
coats from the dust the brush had re-
moved from dusty shoes. The handle is
sufficiently long to make bending over
unnecessary.
Leather pin boxes. which ought to help
bring neatneSS to dressing table or bu-

pins. The boxes are about five by seven
inches and contain a dozen compart-

sizes Of pins. Safety pins. big and little.
occupy two compartments. and others
hold hairpins. ordinary pins and pins with
various colored heads.

MUST TAKE CIVIL
SERVICE "EXAM"

Washington, May l7.-Postmas-
ter Burleson has succeeded in car
rying out one of the reforms he
planned at the time he entered the
cabinet; he is going to compel all
fourth class postmasters, now in
the classified or civil service, who
did not secure his Office as the re-
result of an examination, to stand
the civil service test and prove his
CeAepetency. The order of Presi-
dent Taft placing all fourth class
postmasters under civil service was
very obnoxious to the Democratic
. congressman, for It removed from
beyond their control all postoffice
appointments in their respective
districts. For time there was 9
clamor for the abrogation of The
order, at least long enough to ousi
some As, 900 republican postmaster
and replace them with democrats
If that could be done there woulC
be no democratic opposition to re
issuing that order. But Presiden
Wilson who Is an avowed advocat
of civil service, would not yield I
the demand of the democratic hous
members, and il was MP to th

other plan to appease the patronage
hungry congressman, and yet be
acceptable to the president. Mr..
Burleson hit upon the plan of sub
jecting all fourth class postmasters
to the civil service test, except the
few, possibly one or two hundred
who were appointed late in the
Taft administration, after the civil
service order was issued. This pre-
serves the civil service principle
and really is better enforcement of
civil service than was the blanket
order of President Taft, which pro-
tected all incumbent postmasters
without requiring them to be ex.
amined. Under the Burleson plan,
every fourth class postmaster tina
has not passed an examination vii
be required to go through the or
deal. If be passes the examination
he will retain his Office, and if h
fails he will be ousted. A httl
later on, Postmaster-General Burle
son. with the sanction of the Presi
dent, will carry the civil servic
test still further and make all sec
ond and thIrd class postmaster
stand the same test. This will sti

PROVISIONS OF WID-
OW'S PENSION LAW

The mothers pension law passed
at the last session of the Legislature,
is now effective and blanks will be
receYed by the probate judge of
each county within few day.
There are two forms of blanks to
be filled out, one by the applicant
and one by the investigating officer.
The applicants blank Is more de-
tailed than an application for life
insurance; it contains the entire
history of the applicants family.
The blank to be filled out by the
investigating officer is even more
complete. This is to guard against
fraud.
In commenting on the law Judge
Dunbar of Boise says:
when the law fret went into
effect in Illinois, the court was del
uRed with applicants, who were
urged to appear by their friends,
who assured them that the county
was giving away money TO widows
aud that they might as well apply
for some of it. Our law specifies
that the probate judge of each
county shall have authority herein
after provided TO make provision
for the partial support Of women
whose husbands are dead or confined
IN the Idaho state penitentiary,
when such women are poor and arc
, mothers of children under is years
: of age. The allowance of each
woman shall not exceed $40 pei
, month when there is but one chile
. and IS per month for each addi
tlonal child under l5; thus, if ther'
are three children under Is years
the allowance will be $40.
q Section 8 of the new Law says
"Such allowance shall be made b.

/ allowance is made must be livinI
