A DAILY LINE O. CHEER
m NATURES SCHOOL.
By John Kendrick Bangs

I'm taking q course In Dame Ma
lures school.
Add learning . lot In grct and In
pool.
In dale and in hin, in flower and
tree. 8
That's doing q great deal Of good
to me.
I've got more out of q babbiing
brook
Than ever learned from . printed
book
On how ". to keep on tn reached
In spite Of the trials confronting
I've learned from the hills how the
storm 20 face.
The rose has taught me . lesson
In grace,
And patience I've learned from the
pine that stands
Serene In the midst OF the storm
swept lands.
I've learned from the buzz Of the
bustling bee
The worth OF continuous industry,
And many q bird with its piping
clear
Has taught me the likeness Of song
to cheer.

NAVY CLERICAL
FORCE REDUCED
Report Shows 854 Clerks
Dropped from Payroll
Since April |.

A cut OF $50 clerks has been made
In the classified personnel of the
Navy Department In washingtoi,
since April !, according to figures
given out yesterday. This means
that practically that number were
dismissed July !, the beginning Of
the current fiscal year, through lack
Of Congressional appropriation for
their retention.
This will be the last wholesale
dismissal during the current fiscal
year, and leaves the Navy Depart
ment with a total classified person
mel Of 1851, or 1871 more clerks
than were employed before the war.
At the outbreak Of the war there
were only ss5 clerks in the Navy
Department. To meet wartime de-
mands the total rose to 6.3ss dur
ing full war strength. OF this num-
Der 1000 were naval reservists en-
g1ged in clerical work. This in
cluded the yeomanettes.
II has been said that the use Of
the naval reserve for clerical work
was the only means OF surmounting
the dinculty experienced by the
Navy Department In securing ade-
quate appropriation for classified
civilian personnel. By enlisting the
reservists for clerical work. how
ever. the practically unlimited ap-
preparation for the pay of the navy
was rendered available and the
problem of securing clerical forces
adequate to meet wartime needs
was solved.
Temporary civilian appointments
were given $500 of the 1000 re-
servists August 1. 1919. with oppor-
tunity to qualify for permanent ap-
pointment. Many failed to qualify.
and were among those dismissed
July I.

HERE-AND THERE.

Ny wife is in the kitchen now
Preparing me a mess Of chow. I'll
soon dig in a toothsome fare-as
hungry as a polar bear.
But over yonder-far beyond the
waters OF the deep blue pond, are
thousands begging for a bite, who
doubtless will not eat tonight.
At best it's not a pleasant thought
that these are being fed on naught,
while we are privileged to chew
whatever taste commands us to.
A state of poor affairs In this-snd
IL Judge IL not amiss, deserving
Of q helping hand from every rich

My wife is cooking me a meal to
fiIl me up from tooth TO heel-but
ever there beyond the waves they're
eating bones and barrel slaves.

livered him before US; and we
