"Pin Money" Workers

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Miss Greene, librarian for the late ]. P. Morgan, is quoted in New York as crfticizing the woman who is in business simply for the sake of earn Ing pin money" Unless a young worn an is obliged to go to work as means of providing her own livelihood, or the livelihood of those dependent upon her, sho should remain at home" says Miss Greene.
 Many girls seek employment just as means of passing the time until they arc married. Such girls work indiffer- ently, because they have no real inter est in their work, and they are will i. Ing to accept a smaller wage. As a re- suit they keep someone more worthy from obtaining needed employment and are responsible for lowering salaries paid to women.'

Miss Greenes conclusion that they are an unsatisfactory element in business life. both for employers and employees, will be shared by many oth- CTS who have given the matter con- sideration.

Seventy five guests were entertained at Thanksgiving dinner yesterday at the Hotel Hillman by Mir. and Mrs C. H. Nabb and it is questionable If
 any equal number of guests through
 out this broad and peaceful land were
 made more supremely happy than
 those who were the recipients of Mir. and Mrs. Nabb's generosity. They were the little tots from the Mercy Home. Some of them were 'awfu wee" as Macgregor might say, but with the
 assistantce of the host and hostess and ether ladies interested in the home all 1 were abundantly entertained and fed. The tables were laid in the spacious
 ballroom of the hotel and were state fully arranged. 1t was a pretty sight l to see the 75 bright baby faces, their l eyes sparkling with anticipation as the dainty viands were set before them,
 and 1t was a pleasant sight to view their real enjoyment of the bounteous rcpast.
 The children were brought to the hotel in automobiles loaned to MT Nabb, who was conductor for tho time being. In this connection MT. Nabb tiiht tnt lA autOHiobiitH Htit

 And it was 12 cars loaded to tho

 Some of the little ones had never been
 In a car before and their delight was
 urbounded At the risk of keeping din-
 ner waiting Mir. Nabb drove the chill dren around the residential section of
 the city and they were so enthused he was afraid he would lose some of them before the journey ended.
 The little ones marched in the din- ing room in perfect order and soon were enjoying themselves to their
 hearts content. Mrs. Nabb personally directed the dinner and saw to it that | every child was made happy. Music and games closed the occasion At tho conclusion of the dinner Mrs. Alec T. London, on behalf of the board of con trol, extended to the hosts and hostess
 their thanks and appreciation of their
 thoughtful kindness in providing such
 an elegant dinner for the children.
 The children, small as they were real
 izcd it was up to them to show their
 appreciation and they clapped their It,

 Mrs. Ramsay, the gentle, motherly
 woman to whom the care of the chil-
 dren is entrusted, in speaking of the
 dinner said 1t was the third time that
 MT. and Mrs. Nabb had had the chil .
 dren to dinner. She stated that many
 of them remembered former occasions
 and that they looked forward with the
 keenest pleasure to the dinner yester-
 day. Mrs Ramsay said the children got

 first in anticipating the event; second. in its realization. and the third, pleas

Hunt Job Systematically

At this time of year. when many of last summers crop of graduates are seeking work for the first time. few words of advice might be useful. says the New York Sun.
 The usual method of job hunting is to obtain an interview with someone in the business. and then to ask him. "Is there any chance of getting job?" He says. What kind of a job?' You reply. Any thing at all And then you are stamped in his mind one of the many reckless ones who go job hunting without plan.
 For those who say, "fs there vacan- ey2' there never Is one. A business or ganizatlon is like any other living ts- sue: If you remove part of it the gap closes up again at once The work of the vanished man is immediately taken a hundred is there hole waiting in the organism into which you may creep. You must go to the company with the proof that vacancy does exist: that there is a job that you can do.
 The point is that you must go offering a job. not seeking one. Go to the man ager Cor whoever it is) and say. II want job When he says What kind Of a iob?" reply, "This kind of a job whip out your prospectus and outline your scheme. Then you have something con crete to discuss and a chance to show him whether you have ideas and the en- thusiam that can explode them.
 The most discouraglng and the most footless search in the world is hunting for q job What tho world wants is the man or woman who can create jobs. who can prove to the employer that here Is way to do more business.

RUBENS MANSION IS
 LITTLE HURT BY WAR
Home of the Great Flemish Painter Survives Depredations
 of War

The Hague, November e5.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press.)-The fa- nous sixteenth century mansion of Ru- bens, the great Flemish painter, standing in the line of the German sweep through Belgium. between Brussels and Antwerp. has suffered little from the depreda tions of war. although an unknown vandal has defaced some of the paintings that cover it's walls. For weeks 1t had been impossible to approach the place and there was much anxiety as to its fate.
 The Germans had converted this shrine of art lovers to the service of war, but neither the house nor the fine old gar den suffered much. The house is now used as a pay station for the German troops. In the garden are many roughly marked graves of Belgian and German soldiers. One stray bullet found its way into the house, which is surrounded by heaps of rubbish and broken bottles. No doubt a thorough cleaning will transform the place to the quaint mansion which Rubens built for his young wife the woman who appears in nearly all of the paintings of his later years, and the mother of the boy whose baby face smiles out from so many of his canvases. Some civilian souvenir-hunter is declared to be responsible for the only intentional act of vandalism committed on the property, which is now owned by the Belgian Sena- tor de Becker-Remy. The vandal cut the faces out of some of the pictures that hung in the house.
 During the German advance to Ant werp a German detachment of 50 soldiers occupied the mansion. Belgian peasant managed to slip through the German lines and notify the Belgian troops. That night a strong detachment of Belgian soldiers surrounded the house and after des- perate fight killed all the occupants. The Germans were buried in the old garden. Later the Belgians were forced to aban- don the place.

Largest American Flag

There's a new biggest American flag ever made" So much the biggest that
 there is no "second biggest" worth
 talking about, says the New York
 Evening World. The construction of this
 monster flag has just been finished by the Amoskeag Manufacturing company.
 Here are the banners dimensions: It is 95 feet long and 50 feet wide.
 The width of each of it's 1s stripes is
 nearly four feet t47 inches. to be ex- act)
 The great stars upon it's blue field are constructed within 49-inch circle and measure about three feet from point to point. The blue field is 38 feet in length by 25 feet inches in height. The stars are placed four feet nine inches between centers longltudinally and four feet three inches vertically The stars alone weigh nine pounds,
 while the completed flag weighs 200 pounds.
 The proportions of this flag are strictly in accordance with government regulations.
 In making the flag another impor-
 tant point in the government regula-
 tions has been observed, that of never
 allowing the flag to touch the ground
 a very considerable task, considering
 US dimensions.
 To provide for this rule, as well as
 to give the correct appearance of
 height etc. pole 2S5 feet tall has been
 prepared a flagstaff. In other words. this pole, placed in
 Trinity churchyard, would tower five feet above the summit of the Trinity building.
 Many an apartment house could be completely covered by the folds of the banner.
 Specially made bunting was needed for the flag to withstand the tremend- ous weight and the strain. Ordinary bunting would tear like so much paper under the first tug. A problem that is still to be solved is:
 Will any wind short of an equi-
 noctial gale, be strong enough to All the folds of the giant flag and whip | 1t out straight? Remember, the banner weighs 200 pounds (more than the weight of barrel of fiour) and there | is an area of 4750 square feet of bunt- ing for the wind to fill Perhaps some mathematical reader will care to work out the problem as to the volume of air pressure needful to make the wonderful American flag wave; and the wind velocity necessary to make 200 pounds and 4750 square feet of bunting fly out straight.
