WOMEN REPLACE MEN IN MINES
 BUREAU

Washington, Dec. 15.-The Fed esaI Bureau of Mines is opening it's services to women as never be- fore. Since the beginning of the WIT it has more than Quadrupled its cle .iCal force of women employed tn the Department of the Interior at Washington.
 In addition to it's regular force of stenograDhers, typists, filing clerks, etc, who work during the day the Bureau has been compell- ed to employ g night force, and this includes about twenty-five women. These night workers are employed T. the rate of fifty cents an hour. The Bureau of Mines is endeaYoring to make this work helpful to women wbo are out of work or awaiting employment, or require this ex- tra helU. No woman employed by thg Government during the day is permitted to join this night force.
 At the new PittsburE Experiment station, which has just been com pleted by the Government at 8 cost Of half 9 million dollars, wo- men are being employed as fast as mala vacancies require and permit the substitution of female service. In the Bureau of Mines former force Of two hundred employees at this station, which occupied the old arsenal grounds, not a sngle woman was employed. They are now be- ing employed as rapidly as vacan- cies occur which they can fill.

INSURANCE OF US. SOLDIERS
 AND SAILORS

Washington, Dec. 15.-The act " licb provides for Government life 'insurance for soldiers and sailors has now been in operation little mere than month. The Sec retary O. the Treasury announced on November 17th that up to that date 64,l6S applications under the new law had been received, re pl oseuting insurance in the sum of 52,O93,O0O. From four to six thousand applications are received each day at the Treasury Depart melt the amount of insurance ap- .4lied for sometimes reaching a to- tai Of fifty million dollars in single day.
 The law provides that soldiers, sailors, marines and nurses in ac- tive service may obtain from the Government life insurance in amounts not exceeding $1O,OOO at premium rates ranging from 65' Ceots a month at the age of 21 years to $1.2O a month at the age O. 51 years, for each $1,OOO of insurance.
 Ore of the primary objects of this law is to lessen the tremen- dous burden of pensions which has followed as 8 consequence of all American wars.
 Ii is evident that the administra- ton of this new branch of Coy erImen' work is big business in itself. But this is only one of many governmental activities incl deat to the war which are add ing great numbers of clerks, Bteno- graphers, and other servants to Uncle Sam's payroll. Literally thousands of stenograQhers and t. pewriters have been appointed in Washington during the pas few months and thousands more are to be appointed as soon as they are available. The United States Civil Service Commission is holdingI examinations for these positions weekly throughout the country. Sec retaries of local boards of civil ser vice examiners at the post offices in Gll cities are furnishing de tailed information.

MAIL SERVICE

Io the Juneau Empire of re cent date, We notice a communica- lien from the secretary" of the "Skagway Commercial Club" re- gsrding the poor mail service to Skagway and especially the fail urs of the Santa Rita to transfer its mail to the Jefferson two trips previous.
 Pcstmaster Bradford, of Juneau says tn reply: The Santa Rita on thR occasion mentioned was de laye' by storms and did not put back to Juneau in time to make possible the transfer of the mail sn the Jefferson"
 The Daily Alaskan was well RWare of the delay in the mail at this particular time and prob ably suffered, as a consequence, as much as any business house in skagway. The Alaskan is looking after the peoples interests, and Ai that time endeayored to run down the various reports that the gas boat had returned to Juneau ia lime to transfer the mail, but could only learn of heresay. Not having any positive evidence of eArelessness on the part of Juneau officials, and having no positive knowledge that the Santa Rita had returned to Juneau in time, we EefraIned from making a kick about the service as did the "Com- msrcial Club" of Skagway.
 Il does no good to kick" those Iu authority when they are not responsible for what takes place. Hence all We did was to mention Ehs fact of the delay in the mail
 Our position in the matter is substantiated by the Empire, up- ca whom the secretary" calls to sAke the matter up with the proper and is also verified by shs Juneau postmaster.
 When the people of skagway have, z real complaint the Alaskan will slFsys leok after their interests.
