Talks of Office Conditions.

The conditions in the office respect
ing the examining corps have been
steadily growing worse relative TO the
amount of work which the Office has
had to do during the last quarter of a
century" says Commissioner Ewing in
his report.
Tn point of training the showing is
excellent; So per cent of the examiners
and assistant examiners are graduates
of colleges or technical schools; 40 per
cent are members of the bar and more
than 1 per cent in addition have had a
thorough course of study in law. and
more than 20 per cent in addition are
studying law, SO that IS per cent are
either trained in law or are in course
of training.
But the comparison of the size of
the examining corps in the year 1890
with the present time and of the extent
of the searches at these two dates pre-
sentS a deplorable situation.
I'm 1890 there were 1S9 members OF
the examining corps, of whom thirty
were examiners. The assistant exam
iners who make the searches numbered
159. Each assistant had to report on
Isl applications per year.
I'm 1916 the corps numbered 367, of
whom forty-three were examiners and
324 assistant examiners. Each assist
ant must report on 2l0 applica-
tions per year"

Gives Comparative Statistics.

Mr.. Ewing goes on to point out by a
series of comparative statistics that
the force relative to the work which it
has to DO is less than so per cent today
what it was in 1890
In order that such situation may
be met at ALL" he goes on, at is abso-
lutely essential that the best method
of classification should be adopted, the
classification completed and kept up to
date. Yet when 1 laid all of these facts
before Congress and pointed out. as
indicated in an earlier section of this
report, that at the present rate of re-
classification now going on it could not
be completed in under twenty-five
years. / succeeded in obtaining no re-
lief whatsoever. Every recommends
ton that I made during the past year
has been refused
Il can attribute this indifference of
the Congress in respecting my sugges-
tons to lack of information as to the
situation, and 1 therefore submit for
the consideration of Congress the fol-
lowing facts:
This office deals with all the effort
of the world in every field of industry
to advance the useful arts"

The action of the association will be
certified Immediately to the District
Commissioners and also to the board

1t is understood there are a number
of teachers In the public schools who
are of foreign birth and allegiance,
and it is the intention of the leaders
of the Columbia Heights Association
that the District Commissioners and
board of eduction be urged to look
into the situation. with a view to action
to preserve the thorough Americaniza-
ton of the schools.

IN Topeka HOME:
Many RumOrs Ahoat About Lit
tie Founding Baby.
Miss Kate King Says 1t VIII
Soon Be Adopted.

The lost baby case as explained in
the State journal of Monday is excit-
ing no end OF comment. No one
seems to blame the county OFFICIALS
for refusing to prosecute the sister
and while many would enjoy seeing
the man in the case get all that is
coming to him they realize that to
do so would necessitate the bringing
to light of all the bitter details of the
escapade.
Some declare it is a story and that's
all Apparently from the attitude of
county officials those persons will go
to their graves with that belief in
their minds. Absolutely no further
details of the affair will be divulged
unless unexpected developments oc-
eur. The skeptical today were inclin-
ed to think the baby belongs to veal
thy and influential Topeka people.
Baby Poorly Dressed.
The only tangible reason advanced
for this belief was a fact reported to
the effect that the baby when found
was dressed in beautiful clothes; That
lone bit of evidence of the failure OF
the story to hold water was cast to
the winds today.
The baby was very poorly dressed,
said Miss Kate King, probation off,
Ger. I'VE have had to hunt up cloth
ing for it,"
Miss King announced that tempo
rarily the baby has been placed in
home in Topeka. In a short time it
will be formally adopted by the society
represented by Miss King and per-
manent home sought for it Mean
time, further attempts of the curious
to bring names of those involved and
to satisfy their curiosity will meet
with rebuffs from county officials
why probe into it merely for the
sake of furnishing an AFTERNOON OF
conversation when it will do absolutely
