Fleeing Time

The winds grow keener every
day as from the north they roam,
and Time is winging US away
to our eternal home" Old Father,
Time still is in haste, he makes
his long legs whiz; he seems to
have no hour to waste, though
ages all are his. His eager stride
he never slows, he never rests or
stops, he breaks all speed laws as
he goes, and laughs at traffic cops.
He swings the seasons round so
fast there is no pause betwixt, and
summer heat and winter blast are
sometimes badly mixed. The
springtirne comes, the robins call,
but ere we've learned their strain
we find we're in the midst OF fall
and cold November rain. We
celebrate the noble Fourth, and
ere the echoes die wind comes
whooping from the north, and
Christmas day is nigh. So let US
do Our shopping late, this merry,
festive year, and fill the clerks,
who on us wait, with thoughts
that scorch and scar. Oh, Father
Time, what is the rush? Is time
too good to last? Lie down and
reside quiet-hush! You make
us old too fast!

McAdoo to Prevent Employees
From Aiding Private Firms.

The Central Labor Union at a meeting
last night adopted a resolution calling
upon Secretary McAdoo to take steps
to prevent employees of the bureau of
engraving and printing from giving
their time, skill. knowledge or expert

learned that foreign corporations are
endeavoring to keep in their own
countries contracts which formerly
were filled in the United States. and
have found or will find it necessary to
obtain for that purpose the use Of
Americas skilled printers.
No reference occurred in the text Of
the resolution to indicate that employees

OYSTER DREDGERS OPEN
SEASON ON LOWER RIVER
Colonial Beach Has Renewal of
Activity, Serving as Headquar-
tiers for the Boats.

Several hundred dredgeboats started
work yesterday morning taking oysters
from the river beds. and Colonial
Beach. which has been very quiet since
the close of tho excursion season. is
once more lively place. Most Of the
dredgers make Colonial Beach their
headquarters during the time they are
In the river, though a large number
seek harbor at Colton's, near Blaki-
stones Island, and in the mouth of the
Wicomico river near Rock Point and
Bushwood. The dredgeboats are work
ing from above Colonial Beach to the
mouth of the river. and out in the bay,
and yesterday the scene Is described as
having been spectacular, the trig boats,
with their white sails. moving about
on the river in picturesque array.
Boats Supplied With Engines.
There was a time, not many years
on their sails entirely for motive power,
but tho perfection Of the gasoline en-
CINE has simpliied this, and practically
all the oyster takers have gasoline en-
gines in their craft. Gasoline hoists
are also used in handling the heavy
dredges. and much Of the laborious
work that made life SO hard on the
dredgeboats e now a thing Of the past.
Most Of the dredgers are working for
packing houses at Baltimore and else
where in Maryland and Virginia, but
some few are selling their catch to the
runboats that bring oysters to this
market.

Y. W.C.A. HAS SUCCESS
IN EMPLOYMENT WORK
Business Men Relying Upon Its
Recommendations in Filling
Open Positions.

The account Of the work OF the en-
ployment division of the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association for the
month of September. published in The
Star last week, has resulted-in a wide
spread interest in its activities.
The business men. it is said, are find
ing that they can rely upon the recon-
mendations Of the association, which Is
endeavoring to be just as careful as
though 1t were the agent OF the en-
plover in obtaining help. and the result
ia that the association has been able to
place as many as three persons In
single day.
It's facilities for thoroughly invesd-
eating the standing of every applicant
are considered better than those OF the
average business house. and 1t wants
business men to feel that its employ
ment service can De thoroughly relied
upon. The association feels that If 1t
makes good with the business men as
an EMPLOYMENT agency 1t can do
great work in distributing positions
where they will do the most good, al
WAYS keeping in mind that the employ
eTs interest must come first II lts WORK
is to be the success Its sponsors want
to make it.
One of the most pathetic classes Of
cases that has come to the attention
of the association is the number OF
xentlewomen from homes of culture
and refinement, who. through the stress
of circumstances. are forced to look
for some chance to put their shoulders
to the wheel for their families or for
themselves. The association now has
large number of such good women look
ing for places as companions, house.
keepers, social secretaries and the like
women who are splendidly equipped for
such duties and each one of whom
can go to a prospective employer with
the very best of credentials.
No Charge for Service.
The women of social Washington in
need of such services are requested by
the association to communicate with
it, and it will be glad to cooperate
with them in every way to obtain for
them exactly the assistance they need,
making no charge for the service.
In this new social service work Of
the 7. W. c. A. 1t Is the entire plan
to put merit ahead of everything else,
the merit Of ability first, and after that
the merit of deservingness. Each rec
ommendation will be made with ability
as the first consideration. Where the
association hopes to render the altru-
istic part of its service is in its choice
Of the most deserving when otherwise

There are several hungry gentle
men in my Office" said the Secretary.
They haven't had any breakfast. and
they are fierce enough to start trou-

myself during the next week is to sup
ply them some of the tilef1sh which
they are helping US to advertise. They
have been entirely overlooked in the
distribution.
Efforts to Provide Market.
Then there was some conversation
about the demand now being larger
than the supply, and the Secretary said
