AS recently ten years ago enough Holsters we're

But the timedshonored practice Of killing the goose

such shortsghted and heartess persstency that with
the last five years the annual catch has fallen away
to almost nothing. With lobster fishermen free to
catch the Holsters without regard tohe spawning sea-

popular citizens. She was born in that town on De
cember II, 1868. In the her work of photo
graphing the heavens she has added materially to the
worlds astronomical knowledge. She has discovered
100 variable stars three stars spectroscopic
binary and several having bright Of vara-
bic spectra. In addition she has written many papers
and notes stellar spectra that have won both at
tention and respect in the scientific world. Her most
important work has been, however. the preparation of
a catalogue of star spectra. Prominent astronomers
have pronounced il the accurate and important
catalogue of its sort the world ever has known In
fact it has made her and with other splendid
work led TO her election member of the great
British astronomical society. That honor, conferred
upon her, also is reflected upon Harvard. Her bibo-
graphy of variable stars contains Appropriately $4,000

VRANCLE OVER THE
INCOME TAX JOBS
Senators Lee and Smith Of
Maryland at Odds Over
the Patronage
DELAWAREANS HOLD
THEIR NEW PLACES

Senator Blair Lee and John Walter
Smith, of Maryland. have submitted
separate lists of candidates Tor the
ten Federal offices to be filled by the
collector of internal revenue under
the income tax law.
This has Just developed in spite Of
the fact that Senator Smiths names
have been before the Treasury De-
partment for several months and
Senator Lees have been in the hands
of Secretary McAdoo for more than
a month.
Also the fact came to light yester-
day that Collector-elect Joshua W.
Miles Will have twenty-four Federal
Offices to fill entirely aside from the
income tax assessors created by the
new law. These twenty-four offices
We're removed from the civil service
by the urgent deficiency appropria-
tion bill of the last session of Con-
gress.
In other words, the collectorship
of internal revenue is now the most
desirable Office in the State from a
patronage standpoint. Including the
income tax officials, there are thirty
four plums to be distributed, three
times as many as are to be named by
any other Federal official in the State.
Senator Smiths Little List.
The two Senators are no more in
agreement upon the subordinate Of
fees of the collector than upon any
other offices to be filled in the State.
This is emphasized by the fact that
they have each picked list of
friends for the income tax assessors
and deputies throughout the State.
The names OF Senator Smiths friends
were learned at the Treasury. This list
is as follows:
