MODEL SERVANT TURNS OUT

so those fortunate employers who have

But one day Sherlock Holms, or one

uniform of policeman. Hearing about
the model servant, he fell a wondering
at such exceptional qualities in hired
girl. He undertook a private invest

drastic nature, for the mistress of the
model servant recounts that the po-

came off in his hands and turned out
to be a wig. The outer garments fol-
lowed and what was left was a Ger

according to Francis Jenkins, the
chairman of the University Faculty
Committee of Employment. Mr.. Jen-
kins says that large number of young
men and women have written him ask
ing that wherever possible they may
be put in touch with townspeople who
want work done. There seems to be
a special request for places where
board and room can be obtained in re-
turn for the students service.
The incoming students seem to be
qualified to do almost any kind of
work, and Mr. jenkins asks that the
citizens of Moscow phone him their
needs and the committee on employ
ment will see that those needs are ta-
ken care of.
