More Women in Clerical Service.

One outcome of the exclusion OF
women from examinations for the
higher-grade positions. policy which
prevailed until this month, the re
port points out, lis the overwhelming
concentration-91 per cent-of woman
appointees in the clerical service:
This massing, in turn, carries with 1t
the depression of salaries toward the
old-time woman's level-a figure ira
ditionally below that which any num-
Der of men qualified to fill the posi-
ton will accept" One of the evil
dences at work. apparently, is the
weaker bargaining power of women;
AS stated early in this report, all
applicants for probational positions
state in their examination papers the
minimum Salary which they will &C
cept. Among the PROPORTIONAL ap-
pointees in the months or January
and February. 274 women. as against
thirty-six men, accepted the minimum
offered or less; among the tenn
poraries, 131 women and sixty-six
men accepted 5000 or less. OF the
529 applicants who expressed willing
ness to accept the advertised mini
mum or less more than so per cent
were women.

Women Look for Adjustment.

The Redistribution is relied on, it
is stated at headquarters or the Ma

to adjust the inequalities in the civil
service as between men and women
BY bringing about the establishment
of an impartial administration agency
which will overcome the departmental
attitude of discrimination against

Afternoon Of Golf.

The afternoon was devoted to golf,
and on the links the prince had his
second introduction Of the day. this
time to a British veteran of the war,
Private Christopher Nelson Of the
Lancashire fusiliers. Private Nelson
reminded the. prince that he had
fought with him at the capture of
Guillemont in the great British Of
fensive on the Somme in the sum-
mer Of 1916.
The prince played his match with
Sir Godfrey Thomas, his private SEQ
rotary, but the main interest was
centered on what was announced as
the boob championship" of the United
States and Canada, played between
Gen. Burstall of the Canadian army,
who is attached to the princes staff,
and J. NJ Nye. chief special agent of
the United States State Department
Both claimed to be the worst players
on the continent, and Nye won.
Last evening the prince attended a
sacred concert in the hotel The

uled to arrive at the metropolis at

Hotel at Night.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va,
November 1.-THE modest little wood
en- church which nestles among the
pine trees on the mountain side here
probably for the first time in its ex-
istence had capacity congregation
yesterday with the double attraction
Of bishop preaching and a royal
prince as one of the worshipers.
When the Prince of Wales entered the
edifice every seat, with the exception
of those reserved for him and his
suite, was occupied. Among the trees
outside the church the old-fashioned
buggies of the mountain folk were
tied alongside the luxurious limousines
of the resorts social colony.
Little groups of the mountaineers
and their families gathered near the
church to watch the prince as he en-
tered and left the building. but with
the courtesy for which they are
famous there was no attempt to crowd
the royal visitor. From a considerable
distance they watched silently the
young man whose path in life is SO
very different to their own. and then
drove off to their distant farmhouses

Hears Bishop Gravatt Preach.

The sermon was preached by Bishop
William L. Gravatt of West Virginia,
who took for his text: HE set his face
steadfastly to go to Jerusalem" The
substance Of the sermon was the neces-
sity Of every man, prince or peasant,
to have purpose in life.
At the close of the service the prince
waited at the door Of the church to
greet the bishop. who surprised him
by telling him that he had been in
troduced to him once before in Lon
don, when the British heir was boy
of seven.

and joyous and good humored. But as
she Slipped out Of her apron and into
street clothes. she remembered suddenly
her feeling of the other night. Like
hundreds of other women she wondered
why life wasn't all that it seemed. 1t
wasn't a bit like the novels where a
definite plot always surrounded the
heroine and worked itself out in logical
conclusion. Real life just went on and
on, and all that people had to do was to
make the best of it. OF course things
happened to her, but they didn't happen
in sequence. Her life before marriage
had been full of events. Hat it meant
that now that she was married, her love
story was over and she must settle
down?
She was young. even il she was mar
ricd. She wanted life. she wanted things
TO keep on happening. definite things.
She had thought that love could give
her all of that. but it hadn't. Lack OF
money seemed TO hurt love; perhaps it
was that that had turned Scott from
the ardent lover to the materialistic hus
band. Did all married women settle into
routine Just. as soon as marriage
was over? Would Natalie? 1t seemed
incredible. Why couldn't life go on
being a story?

START THIS STORY TO-DAY

TWO nights later Scott returned TO
i the apartment jubilant. He had
been unhappy lately, as unhappy as
Ruth had been, but tonight he had
something definite with which to make
a break in the cloud that had somehow
existed between them. He could not
understand what he had done, put ne
was uncomfortably conscious that ne
had done something. Ruth $ attitude
told him that. When she kissed MIN
there was something pcrfunctory IN the
kiss, something gone from the act OF
kissing that robbed it OF its glory.
To tell the truth, Ruth was still
burning with resentment at Scott's fail
ure to understand her mood that night,
and inasmuch as it was impossible to
tell him that she was hurt because he
no longer seemed thrilled by her near
ness, without robbing herself of great
deal of dignity in the telling, silence had
seemed the only thing possible.
OF course Scott could not know all
this.
Z Ruth.Esdd imagined that by, her own
attitude that night she had completely
convinced Scott that she had not meant
her work. but the truth of the matter
was Scott had only half believed her.
For that reason he had made desperate
effort to arrange matters more salts
factorily at the office and the result
was a substantial raise in salary. That
was the great and glorious news he had
to tell Ruth. and he could hardly wait
TO see and tell her.
He discovered her in the kitchen,
and he caught her to him with something
of the old time vehemence.
Il have news for you," he explained.
"News?" And Ruth raised her face
she looked warm. The day had been
muggy in,thc Office and somehow of late
she had not felt very well.

in Ruth s heart. Until now her eighteen
dollars had been a help. Now imme :

money, he was telling her that she must
give up her position. And yet wasn't
that just what she wanted! Didn't she

Repelled by Caste System.

He said the caste system of Europe
and Great Britain repelled the Cana
dians, too And there was the reflex
action of the Canadians on the caste
system to be considered. Born and bred
aristocrats did not love born and bred
democrats. The Canadian troops who
were first over were thought undis-
ciplined by the English officers. They
themselves might acknowledge they
we're wild and woolly and hard to curry;
They became eXcellently disciplined
soldiers" said the gentleman quoted,
largely through the efforts of Gen.
Curry He made the Canadians see
that they were not good soldiers unless
they Obeyed orders to the letter. At the
end of the war the Canadians were re-
garded as very cocky troops. They tell
a story of a battle between the Aus
tralian and Canadian troops in an Eng
llsh village. II lasted fer two days and
during that time the officers dared not
go near The men used only their fists.
AT the height of the fight q newly
arrived Australian officer. at the vii
iage walked past a barracks In
which a terrific battle was on. sud
denly a Canadian soldier was thrown
a window and catapulted:
window frame and all. to the feet of
the Australian offcer. He rose to
his feet, recognized an officer, clicked
his heels. snapped q salute and then
dived through the nearest door into
the fight again"
At the end of the war the Cana
dians and the men from the United
States had become good friends. They
were alike wiling to avoid participa-
tion in another European war.
Never again." was the VOW or the
common soldier.
Just as conditions had ripened for
a much better understanding between
Canada and the United States-if Tor
nothing else-we YGkees killed the
chance, said the Canadian quoted.
That one phrase did tive won the
war" Canada had suffered heavily
in men and money. The United
States, he said. had actually been a
gamer by the war. as compared with
the rest Of the world. The Canadians
were enraged by what they believed
to be Yankee swank.

BY HERBERT COREY.

MONTREAL. August 12-Canada is
acting much like self-respecting set
ting hen. She is perfectly content with
her eggs and she does not want to be
bothered. Interference would be no
more welcome from John Bull than if it
came from Uncle Sam.
There was a sentiment for a nearer
relation to the United States. but you
killed it by one phrase said one of
Canada's foremost men.
hat was :he phrase?
I'VE won the war;
| am not permitted to quote the
speaker by name, but he has much to
do with the shaping Of Canadian
thought. He said that when the war
eLded Canada was rather sick of Great
Britain and the continent of Europe.
Canadians are Americans. Those who
live on the other side think differently
and more selfshly. They are expert at
PREACHING and phras:ng.

ANNUAL LOSS TO
COUNTRY BY BUGS
American Forestry Associa-
ton Statement Says This Is
Month to Kill Them

Washington, July 9.-July is the
month to kill enemy insects says a
statement from the American For
estry Association. Charles Lathrop
Pack, president of the association.
estimates the annual feast of enemy
insects costs this country $500, 000.-
600. To check this annual feed
the association makes these sugges-
tons for July:
Spray fruit trees with bordeaux
lead. Spray elms for elm leaf
beetles with arsena of lead, one
pound to ten gallons of water. Spray
for forest tent caterpillars with
arsenate of lead (same p~roportion).
Spray tussock moth and other lead
eating insects with a~rsenate of lead
(same proportion).
IF woolly aphis Is found on I'M
der side of beech tree leaves Bpray
with whale oil soap, one pound to
en- gallons of water. Use the same
combination on the red spider that
may be found on PROSTATE jumpers,
yew and box. The sycamore blight
may be found in the shape of a
white woolly mass on the under
side of leaves causing them to curl
and wilt. Get the bordeaux mixture
in proportions of M pound to eight
gallons of water.
"A good way to destroy caterpil-
lars is to drive carpet lacks part
way into a long stick end. Catch
your web at highest point and start
turning in until you have the web
then plunge into any liquid that will
kill them"
