MISS HANNA PROMOTED
BY STATE Department
First Woman to Be Bureau Chief
There Has Charge Of Cor
respondence.

Miss Margaret Hanna of this city
has been appointed chief of the bu-
reau of correspondence of the De-
partment of State.
The bureau has just been created.
Miss Hanna enjoys the distinction Of
being the first woman ever placed at
the head of a bureau of that depart
ment.
She was educated in the public
schools of the District of Columbia
and was appointed to a clerkship in
the State Department in November,
1895. A year later she was made con-
fidential secretary to Second Assist
ant Secretary A. A. Adee, and has
served in that capacity to date, hav-
ing been promoted gradually to the
highest clerical grade, at $1,000
year.
In 1903 she went to Caracas as a
member of the Venezuelan claims
commission; in 1907, to The Hague
with the United States delegation 10
the second peace conference, and. IN
1910, to Buenos Aires with the United
States delegation to the fourth inter

OFFICERS AFTER R0GUES
WHO LOOT RAILWAY CARS
uuch Property Stolen in Recent
Weeks Recovered-HugeL Losses
Il Reported in Two Years.

Inspector Mccarthy and Detective
O'Dea of the police department have
recovered much property taken from
railroad cars during recent weeks. The
loot includes wearing apparel choco-
late, tobacco and other merchandise
Today they are investigating business
places where loot may have been sold.
In 1914 property stolen from rail-
road companies, chiefly at terminals,
amounted to s14,OOo,OOo. In 1917 it
'totaIed $17,oo0.ooO. an increase of ss,-
100000 in three years.
There is no report on railroad rec
ordS of an engine having been stolen,
! said Inspector Mccarthy. 4 short
time ago. however, an engine was so
completely stripped that little of it
Twas left. There was one instance of a
rail having been stolen, afterward To-
Gated in junk shop.
Detectives are to work in all sec
: tons of the United States in efforts to
arrest offenders and put stop to rail-
road stealing. Particular attention is
paid to dealers who buy stolen prop
erty. said Inspector Mccarthy, and the
department intends to wage relentless
war against such.

WORKERS ARE BREAKING
UNDER STRAIN, IS CLAIM
Pension Law for Federal Employees
Urged by Joint Retire
ment Committee.

Older men and women in govern
ment service are weakening physic-
ally under the strain of breaking in
the hundreds of new employees In
Washington, according to the joint
retirement committee of the naval
gun factory, which is working for a
pension law for superannuated and
disabled federal employees.
A statement issued by the commit
tee says instances are arising daily
throughout the government service,
where old men and women who are
giving their last ounce of strength in
instructing young workers and in
carrying on the burden Of the gov
ernment's activities until younger
minds can be trained, are breaking
down under the strain with no provi-
sion in the law whereby they can be
cared for.

Corn Pone.

Some loyal woman from the
south should teach us how to
make corn pone, the kind one

farewell to grief and groan.
All kinds of bread are being
made to take the place OF

en- are arrayed around the ma
tons cooking stoves. I've eaten
bread composed of rice, I've
eaten bread they made of bran,
and some was punk and some
was nice, and some was but an
also ran. I've eaten stuff they
called corn bread, the kind that
helps to win the war; and it
outweighed a bar of lead, and
tasted like excelsior. Down in
the south they make corn pone
that soothes the soul, it is SO
nice; a pampered monarch on
his throne might envy one who
has a slice. If l had southern
pone to eat, I would not care a
finetooth comb, if all the mills
quit grinding wheat until the
speckled COWS come home. Anon
a northern woman cries, 81

made; I've been down south,
and | am wise to all the secrets
of the trade" And then she
tries to show her skill. and
makes corn bread that | would
like to shovel into Kaiser Bill
Until his works went on a strike.
We can't make pone deserving
fame, all honest northerners al

dame would travel round and
show us how.

pany's stock. Announcement of the
agreement was made last night by
Newcomb Carlton president of the
company. with the approval of Post
master General BurIeson. 1t is the
second contract entered into by the

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
:. AS PREMIUMS TABOOED
Practice of Some Merchants Con-
\ demned by Treasury as Defeat
4 ing Purpose of Movement.

The practice by some merchants of
giving war savings stamps as pre-
miums with purchases is strongly con-
demned by the Treasury.
''Thc war savings movement was
created to help the people of the
United States win the war;" said a
Treasury official in a statement to-
tiav. "When 4 retail dealer gives
away war savings stamps he does so
that he can sell d man something the
man does not need.
1.-The government gets IS cents from,
tho dealer and the dealer gets So or
$40 from the customer for the article
the customer ought not to have
bought, and which the War Industries
Board and the War Department can
not spare the facilities and labor to
manufacture. Thus the transaction
goes round the circle and precisely
defeats the war savings movement"

Washington War Workers.

To the Editor of The Star
I am frequently told that there are
several thousand citizens of this city
eager to do their bit" to help the
war work of the government and
who have in many cases thorough ex-
perience in branches of government
work, but can't get job, chiefly be-
cause they are regarded as on the
verge of the Osler age. These are
men robust in health and physique,
capable, as one of them expressed it,
of doing the work of five green en-
ployes he mentioned who were getting
500 a month each. 1t is said that some
department heads draw from their
own states the help they require and
ignore the local applicant every time.
If this can be substantiated, it seems
to me a most foolish regulation or
rule, or practice. Why bring out
sders here who can't get rooms when
householders here, experienced and
competent, can be had?

WAR WORK PLANTS MAY
TAP new MAN SUPPLY
Travelling Statesmen, Hotel Walters
and Private Chauffeurs
Are Suggested.

One hundred thousand travelling
statesmen may be withdrawn from the
road and transferred to the munition
plants by the War Industries Board,
Chairman Baruch intimated today.
An equal number of hotel walters,
Chairman Baruch said, could be made
available for war work and he might
further swell the army of essential
workers by drafting all private chauf-
feurs and compelling owners either to
drive their own machines or leave
them in the garages.
More than three hundred thousand
men are needed in the shipping and
ordnance plants, Mr.. Baruch said.
How to get them and what less es-
sential industries can be tapped are
matters which will be discussed by
him with the labor departments en-
ployment service.
In some states. notably North Da-
kota, the local boards have decided
that travelling statesmen, especially
life insurance statesmen, are not doing
essential work.
