WHY TOLERATE DISLOYALTY

The Senate committee, to whom
was delegated the investigation of La
Toilette, made a faint bluff Of doing
something at the start, and then APP
peared to follow the course of the
proverbial New Year resolution. If
they made a conscientious effort to
get at the truth, the public somehow
haven't been overwhelmed with the
fact, and if they-found out anything,
it has, at this writing, been politely
hushed up. And right here is where
our law-making and governing bodies
make a great mistake. To varnish,
whitewash, camouhage, excuse, con-
done, conceal or let go by default
such official shortcomings as the SEN
ator is accused of, is radically wrong
and the public simply will not stand
for it forever. What does senatorial
courtesy mean to the average voter?
The mar with open life and the clean
record has NO occasion to avail him.
self of the traditions" when accus-
ed, unjustly, Of sedition. Instead of
seeking delay and the oblivion which
time throws over congressional in
vestigations, one would naturally ex-
pect a demand for instant and COM
plete investigation. Did you yer
know an honest man, who, when ac-
cused of wrongdoing, did not insist
on immediate and fullest investiga-
ton? La Toilette by virtue of his
office, was able to use the Govern
ment presses at a time when the Gov
eminent Printing Office is weeks be-
hind; and, we understand, mailed n
million "public documents" under
his frank, the postage on which would
have cost you or me 100000. But in
all the million we do not recall that
lie Toilette made any frenzied appeal
for early and thorough investigation
Of the charges against him. The
public can and often have borne pa
tiently with their servants at the
Capitol building who have lacked in
many things, who have wasted III
money in foolish appropriations; but
there is one thing they will not toler-
ate and that is any question Of 10y

gressman.-H. H. Windsor, in the

Special Eincer.Print Camera.

For police officers and others, who
have need of getting tinger-print evil
dence from material that cannot be
preserved or removed from it's environ
ment, a special camera has been per-
fected. 1t takes a photograph of the
fnger-print wherever it may be. In
operating the amera no Photographic
skill or experience nor even a tripod
is necessary. The camera is held tight
against the surface of the door, ceiling
wallpaper or whatever the finger-print
has been made. The shutter release
lever is then pressed down; this au-
tomatically closes the circuit to the
four lamps inside the camera and thus
lights them, providing the illumination
for the exposure. The necessary cur
rent is provided by storage batteries
inside the camera.-Popular Science

MARVELLOUS SPEED ATTAINED
WITH NEW TELEGRAPH.

Within the past few weeks a seven
league stride has been made in high
speed telegraphy, says the February
Popular Mechanics Magazine. An
apparatus, which in actual tests has
proved its ability to transmit over a
single grounded wire 5000 words a
minute, has been evolved.
The real significance of this es-
capes one until it is realized that g.
600 words set in type will fill seven
and a half standard magazine pages.
Details of what appears to be an
epoch making achievement must be
withheld for military reasons. 1t is
a war invention and has for its chief
the liberation of hundreds of
expert operators for the signal corps,
without disorganizing u much
needed commercial lines. No secret
is divulged, however, when the ap-
paratus is described as a printing
telegraph system depending upon
a universally used recording instru-
ment that has never before been as
sociated with ~telegraphy. The system
is applicable to wireless but so far
has not been actually used in con-
n~ection with it.

times Tom made himself useful by
cutting under the direction Of the min

and sometimes he filled Johns pipe
or relighted it, so that the wheels of
the machine might run on without in
terruptiOn.
It was about ten o'clock and the
minister's song was at its loudest, the
machine was buzzing almost as noisfly.
The air was blue with smoke and the
four men were as intent on their work
as though the evenings occupation
had been a game of whist. They did
not see the four figures that looked
up toward the window from the
street, MOI did they hear, through the
parsons noisy treble, the sound of
four different sorts of footsteps on the
stairs. But they did hear a key in
the door, and because Molly's uncle
heard his Matty's voice saying very
positively: II guess I'll find out who
dared break into this room." He
reached up to the lamp that hung
from the ceiling, drew it down and
with one vigorous puff down the chin
ney, extinguished the only light.
Two or three screams followed in
the darkness, and then much on

Tom, many minutes of cropping about,
he put his hand out and found Molly's
hand stretched out before her. About
that time Molly's uncle had found Mat
ty and the minister had relighted the
lamp.
1t took a great deal of explaining
to reveal the fact that the minister's
maid on returning from the village
had brought back the Jews that there
was a light in the Red Cross head
quarters. OF course, the only thing
to think was that burglars had en-
tered. Then followed the assembling
of the Red Cross leaders and the brave
encounter in the dark.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS
THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
FOR WAR WORK

Washington;- May 15.-More and
more, as the war program progress
es, is the Government depending
upon women to perform the tire
m%endously increased volume OF work
in the civil branches. The force
of civilian employees in Washington
D. c., increased from 10000 to ap-
proximately 10000 during the first
year of our participation in the war.
Of this increase of 100000 more
than $4,000 are women. Women
make up the increase in Govern
ment offices and establishments out
side of Washington in less proper
ton, for the reason that the great
est expansion in the field has been
in the large manufacturing plants
of the War and Navy Departments,
where thousands of mechanics and
laborers are employed in shipbulld-
ing and in manufacturing ordnance
and other war material. Women are
not available for employment in
trades positions to any great ex-
tent, but their services are being
utilized in every way that is practi-
cable.
The United States Civil Service
Commission is calling for women
for Government work of not less
than go different, kinds. The list in
cludes stenographers, typists, book
keepers, other clerks of a score
or more of classifcations which re-

standing after being shelled. Blanch
from 3 to 5 minutes in boiling Wa
