WOMEN LISTING
 NAMES FUR NAVY

On behalf of local people interested in the Navy League, the Chamber of Commerce has made inquiry regarding the positions available for women in the nvy department. A letter in reply has now been received and is as fol- lows:
 Your letter addressed to the com mandant of this naval district has been referred to us for reply
 Sometime since the commandant re- quested our chapter to compile a list of women who would be available for positions as stenographers, clerks, tel ephone operators, etc, in the naval of fees of the district, should the men now in these positions be called to the ships. At this writing, so far as we are aware only two positions have been filled by women in the Mare Is land offices) to operate what is known as "The Anderson Punch System"
 In the event that positions for the regular office work are later open to women in the naval offices they will rate as yeomen of the 3rd class. and receive a salary of approximately s62 per month-with of course the usual opportunities for promotion.
 I may say to you that several hun dred women have listed their names with us for this work, in almost every case actuated by patriotic motives, knowing that they would release men for active duty on the ships.
 Trusting this gives you the infor- mation you desire, believe me,
 Very sincerely,
 (MR.S. T. H. FRONA E. w. COLBURN Regent San Francisco Chapter Wom-
 ans Section Navy League.

ASKS COURT T0
 CHANGE ORDERS

Claiming that it is unjust and un- reasonable to expect a man to con- tribute to the support of his divorced wife and their children when he should be looking out for himself George H. Perry filed a petition for relief from the courts order in the office of the clerk of the superior court yesterday
 Perry obtained a divorce from Mrs. Sally A. Perry in April, 1916,- on the ground of desertion. Notwithstanding that he was granted the decree he was ordered to pay the defendant s20 a month. In view of the fact that Mrs. Perry left him without cause he de- clares it unfair to make him continue the payments when he is old and his services no longer in demand. Perry alleges that he provided his wife with a comfortable home purchased from daily savings of toil'' while he is home less.

 Complaints have been registered to Schade that the law in this regard has been ignored and he has been asked to keep his eagle eye out for motorists who use only one light.

It is not known that the man had any organic disease but it is presumed that he must have had something of the kind or else he would not have died on day when the thermometer barely re- corded 100 degrees above. He had been working rather hard and this and q weak heart may have caused death.

CARBON BISULPHIDE

It is a matter of common knowledge that Carbon Bisul- phide is by far the safest and most efficient known for the de- struction of Squirrels, Gophers, Moles, Prairie Dogs, and other pests having similar burrow- ing habits.
 There are a great number of patent preparations which are being sold for the destruction of Squirrels, etc., but Carbon Bisulphide seems to be the only effective remedy.
 Carbon Bisulphide should be used during winter or spring when the ground is moist and cool, so that the vapor may not be lost through cracks formed by summer heat. In a general way, Carbon Bisulphide is ap- iplicable only where it's vapor can be more or less confined. The vapor being heavier than air flows down the hole like water and diffuses upwardly. If used on a hillside, dose the upper holes of the burrow. The liquid will vaporize in few minutes if exposed to the air, but its strength is not diminish ed until it has evaporated. It is never absorbed by the soil otherwise than mechanically,
Williams news., 1917-02-08
in which case it soon frees it. self by evaporation.
 DIRECTIONS !

After opening a can of Car bon Bisulphide,S pour water enough into the can to cover the liquid, which will prevent it from evaporating. In using a cork, seal, with glue, mucilage or glycerine.
 k An ounce and half forms a dose, which may be applied by special pump sold fore the purpose, or in absence of the same, the liquid may be poured on a wad of cotton, old sack or any other absorbent material rolled up into balls about twice the size of a walnut. A piece of dry horse manure or an oak ball, with both ends cut off, may be used for this purpose. Another method is to put about one hundred of these balls in a. bucket and pour one gallon of the liquid over them.
 For Squirrels, Gophers and Prairie Dogs; select one or two Iof the newest holes in the bur- row 1aying open the lower passage, if for gophers), and, place the dose of Carbon .Bi-. sulphide or ball down the hole; as far as possible, cover the. hole with dirt and tamp. The liquid or ball must not be cov-. cred with dirt when covering the hole. Close all the holes to keep the gas in and prevent the, escape of the inmates.

Bethlehem's Bid :on Shells flor the United States Navy

To the American People: 70 The Secretary of the Navy has awarded contracts amounting to over 3,OOO, ,OO0 to a British bidder for IA and l6-inch proiectiles for the Navy because of very much lower prices offered by the English bidders.
 We know nothing of the basis upon which the British bids were made, but the pub lie is entitled to know the facts upon which we ourselves bid for this work.
 Two years ago we took contracts to make 4,2OO 14-inch shells at a price of Sl,5l5,OOO. Up to now not a single shell has been ac- cepted by the Government, ale though we have expended, in wages, materials, etc., on these orders $522, ,88l, and we have not received SINGLE DOLLAR on these contracts.
 In addition a literal interpretation Of
 the contract might make us liable for
 penalties amounting to $678,0l6. In the light of our experience, and hay. inR no other basis, we bid for l6-inch shells approximately the same rate per pound as that which the Navy Depart ment actually awarded a l4-inch shell contract one year ago.
