" ing of red tape in government. I
talked to a department head connect
ed with the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Training the other day.
He said he had become so disgust
ed with red tape and ineficiency as
result of it, he decided to get him
self transferred to the Bureau of
Efficiency. Il thought that is the
place for me-" he said. "Tn
be where l can speed up govern
ment work.
But after trying for several days
to get connected with the Bureau
of Efficiency, he found that it used
more red tape than the other bu-
reaus it was trying to make effici-
ent, so he gave up his worthy am
billions of trying to get where he
could do 'the most good and de
cided to stay where he was. He COM
pared the slowness of government
activities to nightmare.
Most of the sympathy that is ex-
tended to government employees here
comes from people who know least
about the condition under which
they work. When | first came to
Washington, l expressed sympathy
for the poor underpaid employees to
one of them and got a good calling

Uncle Sam isn't such a bad boss.
He gives his employees a months va
cation each year on pay, grants them
a months sick leave year on pay,
the average employee works less than
seven hours, and the word work" is
used advisedly-that is the number
of hours they are on duty holding
themselves in readiness to work. The
girl war workers all have plenty of
time to keep their hair slicked up
and their noses powdered Very few
of them get less than 500 a month,
and many get more. The average gov

Or
CANADA.
How to Behave in a Foreign lid.

CANADA.
CANADA is composed of Niagara
~ Falls, 500 Thousand Islands, To-
cal option districts and Canadians
It's chief import is colonists and it
has no exports, except wheat, hat
pins, book marks and other SOU
venirs.
Until the Twentieth Century Can
ada was uncivilized. Lord Lonsdale
is accused of civilizing it and in many
parts of Canada they close cinema
shows, grocery stores and stop street
cars on Sunday in memory of him.
1t is considered a breath of ETH
quet amounting to lese majesty to
step on the feet of a duchess. For
this reason one should always keep
sharp lookout for duchesses in Canad-
ian hotels. They are usually accom-
panied by dukes who are usually told
by their whiskers and leather bath
tubs.
If you suspect a woman of being
countess look at her back. This is
an infallible means of determination.
If her back is fiat, beginning at the
ears, she is undoubtedly of noble
birth.
1t is always wise to show your love
of the dear OF States while across
the line. Do this by addressing the
porter as Cousin Bill. All Canadians
are named Bill excepting the females
who are called Elsie.
Two other Ways:
(1) Remain seated and sing the
Star Spangled Banner when the mo-
vie orchestra plays God Save the
King.
~ Always tell the story of the
Canadian who told the American that
the United States flag looked like al
stick of peppermint candy and raise

Americans brave reply-"Yes, but
you Canadian foreigners would find
it hard to lick"
If you are found guilty of disor-
DERBY conduct you may be able toI
pull a Jenkins and become an Inter
national Complication.
By observing these simple rules
you will be able to show the simple
peasantry what it means to be ma
tive of a great, free country.

mention that the traveller should al

That's the Kind Of Intervention We Like
Says Mexico to Uncle Sam

Americas national sport, with its
standards of conduct, have ap-
proved and carried the game back
home.
Bull fighting in Mexico sis no
longer looked upon as a sport, and
it is even said to be dying in Spain.
1t was a relic of Roman days
which prisoners were cast to the
lions.
"The bull never had chance;
it was one-sided from the start.
"But baseball! That is the fine
sport we learned in America"
say the Mexican baseball fans.
"That is the kind of intervention
to introduce"

WASHINGTON, July al
though the State Department
might not say so officially, there
has been intervention in Mexico,
and what's more, Mexico likes it.
Americans have sent plenty of
ammunition for this intervention,
and it has found no difficulty in
getting across the Mexican border,
for it consisted of baseballs, not
cannon balls-bats, not bullets.

Mexico, declares Captain Sher-

border states of Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana be-
came a matter of great concern to
both parties In most Of the Southern
states colored women were not per-
mitted to vote by reason of state laws
defining qualifications which practical
ly barred them
In some of the states local clashes
between the white and colored races
characterized the contest, although
there were no riots, and such disorders
as occurred were easily handled by
local authorities.
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri,
who recently repudiated the Demo-
cratic national ticket, openly voted that
ticket straight through to the surprise
of the Kansas City election judges. The
senator offered no explanation and
speedily left the polls.
: In California the Alien Land law
will carry two to one from the present
figures gathered through the state. The
Harris act, making California bone
dry, is apparently lost from available
figures. In San Francisco the Harris
act was defeated five to one, while the
Alien Land law carried in San Fran
cisco four to one.
