BLONDES ARE FIDGETl
Brunette Typists Are Preferred
by Uncle Sam.
Three Thousand Dark and Steadler
Girls Employed Before Light
Haired One Lands.

Washington.-Th blonde type
writer's of America have reason to id-
get from the government estimate Of
them. 1t appears that the glowing
tributes heretofore bestowed upon
them by the tired business man have
been as inaccurate as have been the
exceedingly biased estimates OF the
tired business mans wife.
The blonde typewriter. though a JOY
to the eye, Is nervous, temperamental
and other than steady, so the govern
ment has decided.
When the government undertook to
pay Its new, growing and splendid
army 1t was found necessary to hire a
few acres of typewriters. Every avail
able loft, hospital, dance hall and
store 10 Washington was fitted out as
a place In which typists might type,
and so great was the volume Of work
that the utmost care was taken In the
matter of employing help. Things had
to be done accurately, quickly and con-
tinuously, and the types Of typists were
considered at length by persons quail
fed to know a star key RATHER at a
glance.
Well, sir, more than 5000 typists
were at work before a blonde typist
was accepted. Every brunette avail
able had been pounding the keyboard
for days before 1t was finally decided
that the light-locked element must be
admitted through force of circum-
stance. There were no more brunette
typewriters out of work.
Then came the beautiful blonde
spring drive. They came with blue
eyes, dimples little curls, golden
Psyches. pink ears and smiles |bich
made the grouchy experts dizzy but
unconvinced. They knew that all this
outward dazzle did not alter the fact
that every blonde cherub was as nerv-
Gus as kitten, and that In a burst Of
temperament might very well send a
major generals pay check to an OBJ
scure corporal.
But they were employed, and now
each blonde in the government service
sits between two brunette typists who
devote themselves to the tasks of do
ing their work and steadying their
golden-haired companion at the first
sign of hysterla.

MAKE BULLETS OF PENNIES
William Allen White Says Loan Gives
Home-Stayers Their Work.
BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE,

BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE,
Editor Of EmporIa (kan.) Gaxette.1
Back of the German lines every
ounce of food Is conserved and dis
tributed with fairly equitable preci-
sion; every yard Of cloth Is numbered
and entered into the war strength Of
the empire. Every pennyweight of
German coal Is handled with scientific
care, and the one end and aim Of all
this autocratic control Of food and
clothing and heat IL the winning Of
the war. There Is no other purpose In
the German mind. Every German mark
Is a German soldier; every grain OF
gold is doing its full share to work
out that indomitable purpose.
Here In America we must realize
that the war will not be won on any
front, but In our own hearts. This Is
q clash of civilizations. We must de-
velop In our hearts a democratic pur-
pose as strong and as carefully direct
ed as this autocratic purpose Of Ger
many.
We, too, must make soldiers Of our
cornstalks, defenders Of our wool. cot
ton and silk. make every pound Of coal
an American pound, and we must make
bullets of our pennies. II we fail to
develop this democratic purpose In the
eye-to-eye, knee-tO-knee, hand-to-hand
struggle on the front, then our civili-
cation will do down. To fail to sup
port our soldiers with ammunition,
food, clothing and coal will weaken
them for the great conflict at the great
moment, and that weakening will
come from our hearts at home. II will
come II we are slow with our financial
support of the men.
The Liberty loan furnishes us with
the only way we home-stayers can
practically show our purpose. Our
patriotism will be measured by our
performance toward the Liberty loan.
What we lend to our country In this
time Of need Will measure our love of
the freedom our fathers bought. II Is
at stake. The autOcratic purpose of
Germany, iron-willed and yet unbrok-
en-, aimed at world conquest, Is threat
ening us. What Is freedom worth to
you? 1t is worth what you lend to
your government In this hour Of its
awful need.

Authorities In Oregon Find II Cheaper

Oregon City, Ore.-The county

County Judge Anderson. Is going to
move the Molalla river back under
