Government Salaries for
Stenographers.

Washington, D. e., June "a
The United States Civil Service |
Commission announces that thru
some misunderstanding ar i'm
preston seems to prevail that the
government has raised the usual
entrance salary for stenograph-
ers and typists in the depart
ments at Washington. D. c., to
81, 400 a year. Tie Commission
states that there has been no
change in initial salaries for pos
itions of this kind; the usual sal
aries at the beginning range from
81, 900 to 81, 200 a year, appoint
ments at 81, 200 being in the mi
nority. The War department
makes all appointments to such
positions at not less than 81, 100
year, and agrees to promote to
81, 200 a year after three months
satisfactory service. Appoint
ment at salaries higher than
81, 200 a year are rare, and the
appointees must possess excep-
tional qualifications.
There is still great need for
stenographers and typists in the
government Offices at Washing
ton. Those who have had Con-
siderable Office experience are
most desired. The Civil Service
Commission urges qualified per-
sons to offer their services to the
government. Full information
may be obtained from the repre-
sentative of the Civil Service
Commission at the pOstOffice in
any city.

The Best Thing a Nation
Ever Did.
RN II. z. Mengert.

These words may be bit ex-
travagant when applied to War
Savings Stamps, but if we were
to omit from consideration the
guarantee of life and liberty in
the constitution we might make
the statement absolute in every
way without thought of qualifi-
cation.
Even including the declara-
tions of the bill of rights, we may
say War Savings Stamps the best,
since the political philosophers
tell US that constitutions only as
sert or declare natural rights and
dc not create them. I'VE hold
these truths to be Self-evident, >
said the philosophical genius of
the Revolution, that men are
endowed by their Creator with
certain iralienable rights: that
among these are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness"
In no captious sense War Saw
ings Stamps nave come to com
plete the prophetic words. OuI
life, our nations life, liherty'S
life depends on them. Life, the
means whereby we live, depend
upon them. While the menace
of autocracy hangs like a pail Ov

liberty. If men can die smiling

Measles Leads in May.

Measles Leads in May.
Ohio's most prevalent commu-
nicable diseases in May were. ac-
cording to the State Department
of Health: Measles with 1856
cases, German measles 1,525,
whooping cough 1,271. smallpox
l, ,161, mumps 939, scarlet fever
CAT, chickenpox 623, tuberculosis
500. Other diseases had fewer
than 500 reported cases each.
The May smallpox prevalence
was only slightly under the April
total of 200 cases, and it is con-
sidered probable that delayed re-
ports will make the total equal to
that for April.
German measles, mumps and
scarlet fever showed lower case
totals for May than for April.
The May totals for measles,
whooping cough, chickenpOx and
tuberculosis were higher than in
April.

BELGIANS ARE
 CHASED AS MOST
 POLITE PEOPLE

BRUGES, Dec. 2S-The Belgians are the most polite people in the world. Recently seven correspond ents travelled to Audenarde. We were informed that we might cross the Escaut and proceed in the direction of Ghent. AS our two automobiles came over the ridge before entering the town they were spotted by an eagle-eyed obsrver in the German lines and as we reached the entrance of the town and left from our cars preparing to enter on foot, a shell whizzed over our heads and explod- ed duly in rain-soaked field fifty yards beyond the road. Another fol- lowed about the same distance short. Then they came so fast that I lost count. Gas shells they were and we donned masks, and made for the cars.
 The Lieutenant in charge of our party bowed to the eldest correspond ent and bade him enter the car. The latter being Belgian, bowed in turn to his neighbor motioning him into the car. He demurred and then followed some Alphonse and Gaston moving pictures until some one mo- toned to me to enter the car. did Then they all sailed in. And as we raced down the road to Thielt shells spitefully spluttered along the muddy road. =g5sF

SH|PbU|LDINGY YARD

Appearing before the city COM
missioners, in regular weekly session
yesterday afternoon, G.. c. Geary, of
the Pensacola Shipbuilding company,
asked for estimates looking to the
installation of an addition to the
city's sewerage system. He also in
quired about the possibility of get
ting pipe for gas, and also wanted
work rushed on the street paving,
which has been authorized by ordi-
nance out there. Among those at
tending the meeting was L. Earle
Thornton, the city engineer, who re-
piled for the commissioners to in
quires from Mr.. Geary, and stated
that about the earliest date an esti-
mate could be furnished for the sew
erage work desired would be three
weeks. He said he would not prom
Use estimates earlier than that time,
but was reasonably sure the estimate
could be gotten ready by then.
Mr. Geary also announced that
the company would be ready for the
city water connection as early as pos
sib,e A contract for extending the
mains has already been let to a local
plumbing firm.
Ono thing which is initiating
against the work going forward, it
was announced, is a lack of funds,
and it is thought that some plan will
be evolved in the near future to take
care of the work. At yesterdays
meeting. however. the ordinance
granting the privilege of paving
from Barrancas avenue to the ship
building plant was pessed on second
reading, and present plans are that
one street for distance of two or
three blocks from Barrancas avenue
t. o street will be paved. Adver-
tisements for emergency bids will be
inserted at once, it is said.
