P0STMASTERS LABOR AGENTS
Sixty Thousand Officials Are NoMs Co.
Operating in the Work of the Fed
esai Employmenk Service.

Some 10000 postmasters In the
United States have become employ
ment agents and are materially aiding
the work of the governments employ
ment service, declares Secretary Will
son of the United States department
Of labor, in his annual report. The
postmasters are distributing blanks
which the seeker of job may fill out
and send through the mails free of
postage. When applications Of en-
ployers and would-be employees In the
same neighboFhood enter the same post
office the postmaster brings the applt;
cants together without forwarding the
applications to the central headquar-
ters.
One feature Of the employment work
emphasized in the report is the depart
ment of labor's cooperation with state
and city public employment work. The
departments aim, 1t is declared, is to
make the work $50 extensive as to COM
prise the whole country geographically
and to embrace all it's Industries, yet
so intensive as to discover every Op-
portunity for work, however obscure,
and to reach with helping hand every
wage-earner needing employment OF
wanting better employment"

LAKE HERRING NOW Aclsco"
Uncle Sam DEGREES That Fish Shall
Be Known by Name Given TO
Il by the indians.

The lake herring will be known here
after as the cisco. This is Uncle Sans
decree. The government officials state
that while the name lake herring can
be applied legally to any species Of
the genus Leucichthys, varieties of
which are commonly called lake her
ring, bloater, cisco, long-jaw and 9TH
sr names, and are found in large guam
s1ties in the Great Lakes, it is not as
desirable as the name cisco which the
Indians gave these fish. The experts
Of the bureau of fisheries, of the de-
partment of commerce, in a recent
communication stated that in the inter
ests Of exact Technology the name
cisco is to be preferred. The name
cisco is distinctive, while the name
herring, is applied to, other. fish very
different from the so-called lake her
ring. The fish to which the name lake
herring is applied are members of the
same family as the salmon and trout
snd are, therefore, more closely related
10 these fishes than to the herring fam
lly. The name herring suggests or in
ticates an inferior fish.
The government experts who are In
terested in the development of the fisl

Nitratea From Air.

When the thirteenth annual conven-
tion of the American Electro Chemical
society Is held in New York city from
September q to September 30, mem
bers will discuss the problem of OBJ
tanning nitrates from the atmosphere.
Nitrates are not only important as
fertilizers, but they are u basic in
gredient in the manufacture of ex-
plOsives- The world has been depend
ing upon Chile for its supply, and the
deposits there will probably last so
years longer, but the United States
is endeavoring to make itself findepend-
ent of any foreign source of supply,
and the electrO-chemists are endeavor-
ing to find a, practicable method of ex-
tracing the nitrates from the nitrogen
gas which forms 80 per cent of the
air. The first plant for the manufac-
ture of nitrates was erected at Mag
ara Falls.

Hadn't Heard of Uncle
Sans Medical Experts

Fearing that Uncle Sam did
not provide sufficient medical at
tention to his son, who is. serving
in the United States marine
corps, q little weazen-faced old
man approached Sergeant Joseph
L. Wedge of the recruiting sta
ton at Detroit, Mich, with the
request to forward a little box of
brown pills to his son, who the
visitor said, was "ailin'" at the
Port Royal recruit depot.
Them pills allas put Bob on
his feet" said the stranger. ''Tt's
an OH Rmily remedy that I know
is reliable.'
When Wedge assured him that
he did not doubt the efficacy OF
the pills. but that Uncle Sam was
bountifully equipped with medi-
cal supplies and aided by a large
medical staff to look after his
men, the strangers eyes opened
wide with wonder.
Il reckon he don't need these,
then" said the visitor, as he
peeketed the pills with a mum

SAvAGEs NOW SOlONsI
Former Head-Hunters Sit in New
Philippine Congress.
FuII-BIooded Moros and. Igorotes
Among Uncle Sans New LegisTa-
tors in Island Possessions.

Uncle Sans latest experiment in
representative government, the estab-
nshment of a Philippine congress, has
been remarkable chiefly from the fact
that it has brought into the legislative
halls representative of tribes which a
few years ago were made up of saw
ages and head-hunters.
When the congress convened, full
blooded Moro took his seat in the up
per house. The Moro senator is Hadji
Butu,. for many years prime minister
of the sutton of Sulu, that unofficial
functiOnary of the American govern
ment who wields an immense influence
among the Mohammedans of the Sulu
archipelago and of the far East gen.
orally,
Two other full-blooded Moros took
their seats in the lower house side by
side with two delegates from the wild
tribes-one an Igorrote and the other
an Ifugao. The tribes these men repre-
sent stepped out of savagery only re-
Gently, and their names are linked with
some of the bloodiest deeds in Philip
pine history.
Hadji Butu, who becomes member
of the senate by appointment of Gov
ernor General Harrison, is looked upon
as one of the strongest men among the
Moros, and has always counseled con-
ciliatory tactics on their part toward
the government.
Ned, or headman, Piangt one of
Butu's fellow-tribesmen in the lower
house, was famous in the days of the
American occupation of Mindanao
Datu Piang took to the mountains in
the days of Spanish rule and trans
ferred his hostility to the Americans
on their arrival. He held sway in an
almost impregnable fortress from
which many a raid was started and
where many refugee from American
justice took shelter. He at last be
came persuaded that the Americans
really stood for justice and humanity
and laid down his arms.
Altogether nine provinces hitherto
regarded as too close to savagery tC
have governmental Representatives
have spokesmen in the new congress
Among these nine is the province oi
Luzon, the home Of the so-called wild
people who until few years a go, were
chiefly noted for their ability in head
hunting.
Twenty of the twenty-five member:
Of the senate belonged to the Nation
alist party. This party was organized
on platform Of immediate independ
ence for the island, but later gave it
support to the Philippine bill unde
which the.present government has beef
organized.
