AN ARMY OF STENoGRAPHERS.

There is to-day in the City of
Washington in active operation an
army whose exploits attract little
notice, but whose members are do
ing a very large Bit toward win
ming the war for American army
of stenographers and typists, twelve
thousand strong, recruited from
very State in the Union. A ma
jority of these soldiers of the note
book and typewriter are girls. Bay
in and day out their nimble fingers
faithfully click out the tremendous
volume of correspondence and rec
ords required by great nation at
war. They wear no badge nor uni
form; their work is all work and has
no thrill nor romance; but the
United States could not stay in the
war a month without them.
The rapidly expanding depart
ment in Washington employ stenog-
raphers and typists, with a. greed
that seems inastiable. The Unite1
States Civil Service Commission es-
Inmates that there will be twenty
thousand Government employees OF
this class in Washington at the end
of this year. Owing to the general
demand the Commission is finding 1t
a difficult task to meet the calls Of
the departments. Examinations are
held every Tuesday in 45O cities,
and the Commission states that an
examination will be held in any city
at any time, day or night, when
there is prospect of assembling a
class of three or four competitors,
Eligibility may be obtained through
passing an examination in practical
tests in shorthand and typewriting.
1t is practicable to complete such an
examination in one hour. Represen-
tatives of the Civil Service Commits
sion at the postoffices in all cities
are furnishing definite information
to persons interested.

BIG INCREASE PROBABLE IN
STATE RAILROAD TAXATION

An increase in assessment of the
tangible property of the railroads
of the State will be made by the
State Tax Commission. Several of
the roads will get an increase of
100 percent, while others will fare
better at the hands of the Commits
sion. The increased assessments of
the railroads probably will amount
to s3O,0O0,000, which will add con-
siderably to the funds of the State
Treasury. The Commission is now
at work assessing the tangible
property of the railroad companies
and probably will announce the as
sessment some time this week.
