''He's Competent ard Will Sla,
 on the Jjb," Says Mayor Qug|ey. RE-APpO|NTED FOR FOUR YEARS
He Succeeded ex-MayOr Samuel Bas- Sett When Latter Died-Has Rcp- resented Fifth Ward as Councilman and Alderman.


 Following out his campaign state ment that no competent office holder whose term expires this year should fear his election, Mayor George A. Quigley today re-appointed James J. Watson to the board of assessors for term of four years.
 The assessorship is one of the biggest plums at the disposal of the present administration, carrying with 1t a salary of $750 for work that may be done without forcing the members of the board to neglect their own pri- vate business The appointment has been a topic of considerable discussion in City hall circles and it is known that several candidates and their friends were working hard to land it. Among those who had been mentioned as possible selections were Frank M Zimmerman, the insurance and auto mobile man, and William J. Long. a former assessor.
 Who would be appointed was mat ter of conjecture and no inklng of his leaning could be secured from the mayor. Considerable time is said to have been spent by Mayor Quigley in giving the appointment consideration It is said that he finally concluded that MT. Watson's work as assessor was of satisfactory nature and the appointment followed.
 Statement From Mayor.
 Speaking of MT. Watson's appoint nent Mayor Quigley said to Herald man:
 T am living up to statement I made in my campaign that no competent office holder whether he be republican or democrat, need fear my election. I was elected on that stand and mean to follow it out for the next two years at least. I consider the city govern ment too important and the office of mayor too sacred to allow them to be used as political footballs. I am going to be mayor for the next two years and I don't intend to play politics"
 Succeeded Ex-Nfayor Bassett. The news of MT. Watson's re- appointment will be pleasing to hun- dreds of citizens who have met him either through his office or in a busi- ness way. It is believed that the selec- ton will be pleasing, also, to the other iHeHperS ol tHe podIu ol dSSesSofS, MT. Watson has been an assessor for two and one-half years, being ap- pointed to fill out the unexpired term of ex-Mayor Samuel Bassett at the latter's death. He is generally con- sidered competent and efficient. It is said that he would not have been re- appointed in the event of demo- cratic victory although he is a demo- crat himself. MT. Watson has served the fifth ward in the common coun- ci! as councilman and later as an alderman.
 It is understood that Mayor Quigley has addressed letters to other can- didates for the assessorship explaining that he believes MT. Watson to be 8 competent official and therefore eligible to remain in office.

For Women
Housework and Employment
Women.
By BETH JEFFRIES.


Every city in the United states Is
full of young women who are in need
of work.
The want ad columns are full of ap-
pcaIs for cooks. housemaids, and home
helpers of all kinds. We have q perfect
equation. but the women won't work 1t
out. why?
What is the matter with the Oldest
wonan's profession known, the house
keeping Job? Why don't the ones VINO
are out Of work try to find a special
lied housekeeping job, paid for by the
hour?
II is being done in this city A woman
graduate of domestic science school
has announced that she Is an emergency
home helper. and that she VIII come on
call and WORK at her profession OF
cook in homes.
to how to take advantage OF this house
keeping job without any loss of dignity
or social position.
That loss OF social position is the
thing which keeps many women from
some branch of the housekeeping pro-
fession. The employment, for so long.
of women who could perform household
duties and nothing else, by inference
capable only of that work which they
could do with their hands alone, has
given the profession this unfayorable
cast.
But with the making of cooking a
science. with the Introduction into the
household OF superior machinery and
equipment, the position Of housekeeper
has grown more and more complex, and
demands every day better trained and
more intelligent women for its admins
tration.
The time has arrived when specializa-
ton should be applied to the housekeep-
ing profession, when each separate divis-
ion of household duties becomes trade
in itself.
Just as the job of houscbuilding and
hunting of the stone age has been divided
into numerous professions and trades
plumbing. Carpentcring, buying and sell
ing, and the hundred and one different
specifications which together form the
original mans job-so housekeeping,
shnulCs have its trades and professions in
which the woman Of today can specialize
and at which she can work and con-
centIGte her talents.
There are visiting experts to a limited
degree. the dressmaker, the washerwom-
an, and cleaner, who all work by the
day or hour.
But there should be more. There should
he professional, visiting cooks, house fur
nishers, spring cleaners. IL should be as
common a sight to see on doorway,
Expert Market Buyer. as 1t is now TO
see DIesSmaker.
The plan is mature, the time 10 over
ripe There's even the opportunity for
the formation Of such an employment
bureau as was never heard OF before
a bureau run by the subscribers, the
working women themselves, which Will
serve in the capacity of a distributing
head for connecting the special worker
with the job. How long are the women
gong to remain blind to the opportunity
which Is waiting for them under their
very noses?

The First symptoms.

Until VIC learn more il will be i'm
possible to make direct war upon II.
Even now. of course. we can take meas
ures to prevent its spread from one. per-
son to another. and after 1t has begun
its work we can deal with symptoms,
and with the complications It produces,
but we know OF no way to limit or
modify its activity there
Fortunately for US, Nature knows
more than we do. AS soon as the
measles germ enters the, body she be-
gins to battle with II, and In the vast
majority of cases she succeeds In stamp
ing Il out. This battle Is begun auto
maticaily, and unless death intervenes
II always proceeds in a more or less
regular manner. In consequence, we
say that measles IL a self-limltinS
disease. which means that II runs a
clearly marked course, beginning with
the first appearance OF the germs in the
body, and ending with their complete
destruction and expulsion.
The more obvious signs of measles

blue-vhite specks on the mucous mem

WHERE ONE WEEK A YEAR
Is DEVOTED TO WEDDINGS.


IN picturesque Brittany, where the
customs of early days are still prac-
ticed with almost superstiious 10y
atty. there are many strange Gus
toms, but more quaint and picturesque
than those attending the marriage
ceremony. The smaller villages set
aside one day each year. and the larger
towns a whole week. during which all
marriages are celebrated; and II Is need
less to say that these wedding days and
weeks are filled with gayety and never
to- be-forgotten delights.
One day, during the week immediately
preceding Lent. I happened into the
town Of Pontiyy and found the quaint
old place i'm a hubbub of excitement.
There was q procession in the streets
every day, and everybody wore their
cry best clothes. and there was music
everywhere, and when the brides and
bridegrooms passed by arm in arm to
the music of concertinas, everybody
stopped what they were doing ana
cheered. For once love and marriage
was the chief business of life.
When the wedding day comes the CITY
marriage cortegc parades through the
streets and stops in front Of the bride $
house. and the bridegroom enters TO
lead her forth But il is not simple
thing to do. lie has 10 hunt her hrSt,
amid the jecrs and jokes OF all the
-tests. But there never vet mas oeen
one bride who let her lover 20 away
without her. Before the procession pro-
occds To the church a wedding break
fas. is served to them. and everybody
wishes them happiness through all their
lives.
After the breakfast the party makes
is way to the church. walking through
the streets Of the village in procession
The couples To be married go arm in
avn. and the brides look very pretty in
their quaint costumes with headgear OF
yuovv whiteneSs. Before them march
picturesquely clad musicians playing old
fo,k-songs that deal with love.
