MISS EMMA BROWN YOUNGEST OLDEST
 EMPL0YE OF l. $.
At 61, She Has Been in Ser vice of Treasury Depart
 ment 50 Years.
(By Sidney Espey. '

Washington, Nov. 27.-Miss Emma s. Brown has the unique record Of being the youngest employe of Uncle years. She is only siNty-onc years old, yet has been in the government employ for half century.
 There nay be others among the vast army of workers for tha federal government who began such work at the age of eleven years, but there arc no others, so far as the records show. who have been collecting pay from the United States for. 50 years and who have not gone considerably beyond the sixty-first. mile stone in their journey through life.
 Miss Brown entered the feder,v service as an employe of the bureau of engraving and printing April 1, 1865, and her first (ask was to put into packages the old fractional paper currency known in those days as shinplasters. Now she is chief of the trmimming division of the bureau of engraving and printing and has 1O5 employees under her.
 Miss Brown was born in Philadel- phia April 25, 1854, and she was re- warded with a place in the govern ment service because her father and brother both gave their lives in the interest of the nation. Her father, who was contractor, was designed to wire the treasury vaults at the. outbreak of tho civil war so they could be destroyed by electric sparks should the Confederate army capture the National capital. MT. Brown contracted illness which re- suited in his death while engaged in this work, much of which was said to be of the health destroying character.
 Later her brother Alonzo T. Brown youth of IS, was stricken with the war fever and representing himself to be 21 years old, enlisted. He was killed in the battle of Gettysburg, his first encounter with the enemy.
 With the death of the brother. the mother and two daughters were left without support and with the war on, no means of occupation. s. M. Clark, the first director of the bureau of engraving and printing, was friend of the family and it was through his good Offices that the eleven-year-old girl obtained her post in the bureau and became the family wage earner.
