sTENoGRAPHERs NEEDED.
Large. Number of Positions Now
Open in Government Service.


The United States Civil Service
Commission is using every means IN
it's power to supply the increasing de-
mand for stenographers and type
writers in the government service.
The commission states it is possible,
even probable, that at no distant date
the number of trained stenographers
and typewriters in the country will be
less than the number of positions call
ing for such special knowledge. The
suggestion is made that young men
and women who take up courses IN
stenography and typewriting, and who
qualify in the examinations, are prae-
tically assured of an offer of employ
ment at a salary from 5000 to Sl20o
wear, and, furthermore, by so doing,
will be serving their country in an
hour of trial. The demand for stem
ographers and typewriters in the gov
eminent service is practically without
limit, and there is no present pros
pect that it will soon be less.
Stenographer and typewriter ex-
aminations for employment in the de-
partments at Washington are held in
New Orleans and other cities every
Tuesday The next examination for
New Orleans positions will be held
August 81. Application blanks and
necessary information may be OBJ
tanned from the Secretary, Tenth C1-
vii Service District, Room $50, Gus
tomhouse, New Orleans.

tention to examinations which nave
