CUPID HAS NO SUCH AID
AS A "COWBOYS' UNION"
Matrimonially Inclined Young
Women Waste Stamps Writing
to McAlester. Oklahoma.

1t is useless for Washington girls
who want a cowboy helpmeet to write
to the secretary of the Cowboys
Cnion,'' at McAleste=. Okla, for the
purpose of being placed in communi-
cation with eligibles. There isn't any
secretary: there isn't any cowboys
union at McAlester. The postma ster
out there says so, and he ought to
know.
Recently young woman of Wash
ington wrote to The Star. inclosing a
communication to be forwarded to the
secretary of the organization supposed
to be located in the Oklahoma city.
In her letter the young woman said
she had always had a desire to become
the bride of cowboy and live on a
ranch in the west. She outlined her
qualifications, mental, physical and do
nestle, for the job, and they were
some qualifications.
The Star duly forwarded the inclosed
letter. addressing it to the secretary
of the union, as per instructions. After
many days the letter has been return
ed. it's envelope badly battered, torn
and soiled. Down in one corner. under
a sanguinary rubber stamp outline of
hand with pointing finger and the red
linked word Unclaimed" in twenty
ight-point caps, the postmaster at
McAlester had scrubbed in lead pencil
the line:
mo such union here.
That ought to settle it.

Workers

It's good to work with might
and main until the workday ends;
it good to work i'll sun or rain
but do not work your friends.
The toiler's worthy OF his hire,
wherever he may be, though he
be Furnishing a Tyre or chopping
down a tree: though he be fur
rowing the loan, that harvests
may abound, tbs labor brings the
bacon home, and makes the
wheels go round. Renown for
toiling with vim the true dis
tinction lends; SO work until the
light grows dim-but do not
work YOUR friends. The willing
worker seldom sees the lean wolf
at his door: he has his wiener
wurst and cheese and other grub
in store. Mems admiration he
commands. no matter where he
wends: he does his work with
both his hands. but does not work
his friends. There is no sadder.
bunker sight, in any neighbor-
hood, than is the husky. lazy
wight who's cut out work for
good. We all have seen his
maudlin tear. have heard his
whining tones: guilder there. a
kroner here, from all of us he
bones. To gain a dime this
shameless shirk to lowest depths
descends; for when man quits
useful work he starts to work his
friends. WALT MASON

COAL GAS IN SCHOOLS
COMPLAINED Of DAILY
Dust From Bituminous Fuel Also
Held to Be a Menace to
Health of Pupils.
Defective Furnaces Blamed-Supt.
Thurston Willing to Investigate
Any Trouble Reported.

Complaints that soft coal and de-
feetiye furnaces are causing trouble in
various public schools of the District
are being made almost daily II is
claimed that coal dust and coal gas
are being carried into many rooms. par
ticularly in buildings having not ar
heating plants. thereby injurins the
health of pupils and teachers
Supt. Ernest l.. Thurston explained
Yesterday that any such troubles re-
ported to him will receive Immediate
attention. He has ordered an examina-
ton in one building where conditions
were said to be bad, this building nav
ing been brought to his attention I'M
officially.
Hold Coal Not Responsible.
Supt. Thurston. Stephen E. Kramer,
assistant superintendent in charge OIL
white schools, and Hugh F. McQueeny,
Superintendent of janitors, who is di-
rectly in charge of heating plants, are
all agreed that the kind of coal used
is not responsible for any conditions
which may exist, as the air conveyed to
the rooms never, in a properly con-
structed furnace touches the coal or
fire itself. 1t is admitted, however. that
in the event of a furnace being defec-
tive or in need of repair the air might
be contaminated.
Several of the public school principals
and officers with whom the SITUATION
was discussed explained: u have had
no trouble" frequently taking care to
place the emphasis on the Il. thereby
implying that they had heard of other
trouble. All of these refused TO say
anything of other buildings than their
own. though, except in one case. This
was the admission by one official that
difficulty had been experienced early
in the year at the Weightman School.
but that. it had been corrected imme-
diately and was believed due to the
fact that the janitor at that time was
unused to handling soft coal.
Soft Coal Used for Economy.
Soft coal is being used in the schools
or at least a portion of them where
the furnaces were made for soft coal
use-as a measure of economy.
One well known educator, whose
name is withheld by request. declared
that it is shame for the schools to
have to use it. saying it dirties the
buildings and is quite likely to inJure
the health of the children.
yet what can we poor educators
do?" queried the speaker. when in the
very halls of Congress itself soft coal is
used
Another we'll known educator de-
