good and everyone knows it and ev-
cry one is going to see it.
Friday: Zone of Many" The char
acter of this picture is strong emo

Called for October 10 for Any
Applicants for Places.

The first examination ever given by
the Civil Service Commission for the
position of messenger girl will be held

ernment service is experiencing the
same difficulty in getting messengers
as private employers are experiencing
and has taken the same steps that the
business men of the city seem about to
take-hre girl messengers.
Following the news Sunday that
several woman messengers already are
employed in the War Department. the
civil Service Commission today an
nounced its examination for messenger
girl.
Joyce Engraving Company, located in
The Star building. took on it's force as
Miss Blanche Clementson.

the first messenger girl in private en-
ploy in the city.
Competitors for messenger girl posi-
tons in the federal service, according to
the Civil Service Commission, will be ex-
amined in spelling, arithmetic. letter
writing, penmanship and copying from
plain copy.
Applicants must have reached their
sixteenth, but not their eighteenth
birthday on the date of the examina-
tfon. and must be in sound physical
health and capable of being constantly
on their feet during Office hours.

NO CoTToNsEEL OIL BAN.

NEW YORK. October 3.-Edward
Flash, jr., vice president of the New
York Produce Exchange, said today
that the published report that specu-
latiye trading in cottonseed oil futures
on the exchange had been forbidden
was untrue. He explained that the re-
mort was due to the misconstruction of
letter he sent to the trade.
..My letter to the trade" he said. was
merely warning against excessive
outside speculation and plea that
business be confined SO far as possible
to interests directly identified with the
cottonseed oil trade. There is no talk
whatever Of closing the market, which
furnishes the only hedging facilities in
the country"
