states that there has been no change in
initial salaries for positions of this
kind; the usual salaries at the bagin-
ming range from $1,000 to $1,000 year.

nority. The war department makes all
appointments to such positions at not
less than $1.100 a year, and agrees to
promote to $1,000 year after three
months satisfactory service. Appoint
ments at salaries higher than $1,000 a
year are rare and the appointees must
possess exceptional qualifications.
There is still great need for steno-
graphers and typists in the government
offices at Washington. Those who have
had considerable office experience are
most desired. The civil service COM
mission urges qualified persons to offer
their services to the government Full
information may be obtained from the
