dick. special agent for trade and
Industrial education for girls and
women of the Federal Board of Vo-
cational Education. Girls have no
trouble in finding positions, and
they have ----en work in industrial
plants to such an extent that today,
according to Mrs. Duruick. the typi-
cal matchmaker of the United States
Is a girl of 1g years. All sorts OF
women employees are met in the
course of her Investigations by Mrs.
Burdick, who says.
"Women's small and agile hands
are especially adapted to the work
of certain industries. Women are
needed in garment and hat work,
the hosiery industry and soap-mak-
ing. The epansion of the hosiery
knitting and garment making in
dustries is limited only by the num-
ber of women available.

BONUS DEATH

Clerks Believe House Lead
ers Ordered Its Elimina-
ton from Bill.

Scale Of Pay, Is Report.
STILL HOPE FOR RAISE.

Republican leaders In the House
were charged by officials of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal EN-
ployes last night with having given
Chairman Wood, of the Legislative
Appropriations subcommittee, In
structions to eliminate the s24O
bonus for more than 100000 govern
ment workers from the bill.
According to Luther c. Steward,
president of the federation, Chair
man Wood broke a pledge when he
refused to ask the Rules Commit
tee for a rule to put the bonus pro-
vision back in the bill. Steward de-
clares Wood told him yesterday
morning that Republican leaders
had decided there should be no rule.
and. therefore. he did not ask for IT.
Accept Responsibility.
'Mr. Wood is quoted as saying
the. National Federation of Federal
Employees killed the goose that
laid the golden eggs" said Stew
ard. "by asking for an increased
bonus.
The federation Is willing to ac-
cept the responsibility for asking
for better salaries for thousands of
living costs are the highest ever
known.
Republican leaders of the House
must accept the responsibility for
having reduced these salaries in
stead by failing to take the per-
fectly obvious step of protecting
the provision against the point Of
order by means of a special rule

Afraid to Allow a Vote.
Their leaders in the House would
not trust the membership to vote
on this question. By refusing to
bring In the rule to protect the
point of order they refused to allow
the House to express itself. II Mr..
Wood Is correct when he says that
not fifteen members of the House
were in favor of the increase we
were asking. why not permit 4
vote? The truth is our canvass
showed a very general sentiment In
favor OF the increased bonus.
THE statement that Mr.. Wood
acted at the behest OF the Repub-
lican leaders is based on his own
statement to me-" said President
Steward.
All Hope Not Dead.
Even should the Senate fail to
reinstate the bonus when the legis-
lative bill goes over. a ray of hope
is seen by many in the advance
notices, OF the report of the re-
classification committee which goes
to Congress next week. A forecast
Of this report indicates that recon-
men6ations for salaries are based
on the assumption that there was
never any bonus, and much higher
salary schedules have been mapped
out.

BIGGEST ASPHALT
POOL IN LOS ANGELES

The most remarkable puddle in
the United States, Is a pool of as
phalt six miles east of Los Angeles.
Through ages it has been a trap set
by nature to catch all kinds of luck
less animals.
About 500 feet in diameter and
solid at the edges, while softer and
stickier toward the middle, 1t has
invited animals (sometimes fleeing
from bigger ones, perhaps) to take
a short cut across. A foot once
caught, struggles to escape were
hopeless.
Thus since very ancient times the
puddle has been a place of burial
for countless victims. Skeletons
found near the surface are those of
presentday animals, native to Cali
fornia- Deeper down are the re-
mains of animals no longer known
in that part of the country. Deeper
still are the bones of animals not
now known on the earth, and yet
deeper are those Of creatures hith-
erto unknown in any age.
There are skeletons of elephants,
camels, mastodons and saber-
toothed tigers; huge cats, these last
larger and more powerful than the
Bengal tiger of today, with teeth
four times longer than the distance
the beasts mouth could open. 1t
could not bite with them, but used
them for striking its prey. tearing
long gashes.
Among other osseous remains in
the asphalt pool are those of ante
lopes. with spiral horns like South
African antelopes. There are even
bones of birds-eagles and condors
which were doubtless attracted by
animals struggling In the trap.
One species of bird represented was
of gigantic size. its leg bones bigger
than those of a man.
The trap has offered valuable in
struction to science. for never be-
fore or. elsewhere was there such
an opportunity to study the evolu-
.tion of animal life IN continuous
series from ancient times to the
present.

WET ISSUE IN
COURT MONDAY
U. S. Supreme Bench Sets
Date Definitely for
Hearing.
DRYS SEEM HOPEFUL
Decision on Prohibition
Appropriation Measure
Considered Advantage.

Monday. March 8, has been den-
nitely set by the United States Su-
preme Court as the date for the
hearing Of arguments on the con-
stitutionality of the nation wide
prohibition measure.
The case Is contained In the orig
inal bill of complaint fled by the
State Of Rhode Island to undermine
the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead law. together with appeals
from Kentucky and Massachusetts,
Federal courts upholding prohibi-
tion.
wet" leaders are particularly
interested in the allegation by the
State of New Jersey that twenty
one of the States that have already
ratified the prohibition amendment
have done so Illegally.
Drys Voice Claims.
Dry" leaders are claiming that
only ten of these States have a
clause in their constitution which
calls for a referendum.
The Supreme Court Is to deter
mine whether or not States can
withdraw ratification by wet" ref
erendum. as the 'drys' have ap-
pealed from such action in Ohio.
BY an overwhelming vote, the
House yesterday refused to repeal
the volstead prohibition law.
The action came on a motion of
Representative Easan, democrat.
New Jersey, to discontinue all pro-
hibition appropriations July and
to repeal the volstead enforcement
law at that time.
Advantage I'm Decision.
The way was definitely cleared in
the House yesterday, however, for
a fight to repeal the Volstead pro-
hibition act every time an appro-
priation for Its enforcement comes
up.
The "wets" gained this parlia-
mentary advantage as the result of
the decision by Speaker Gillett
holding in order a motion to re-
commit the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill. The
motion. offered by Representative
Eagan, Democrat, New Jersey. car
ried instructions for the elimination
of an appropriation of S4.500,000 for
prohibition enforcement and substi-
tuition in lieu of an amendment re-
IeaIing the Volstead act.
Speaker Gillett's ruling upheld
hat of Representative Tilson, Re
publican. OF Connecticut. who held
10 be in order an amendment to the
same0 kffect by Representative Igoe.
Democrat, of Missouri, when the
same measure was being considered
In committee of the whole last week.
BY this action the decision becomes
a definite precedent to be followed
In the procedure of the House.

Congress Controls Appointments.
The substitute did not modify in
any material way the original
Lodge reservation. although both
Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. Knox con-
tended that it carried an affirma-
tive statement that Congress would
by proper legislative act provide
for the appointment of delegates
to the league of nations.
After the Walsh substitute had
prevailed a second vote was taken
on it to have it adopted formally
as a reservation. That vote was
SIS to IA for adoption. all of the
Republicans supporting 1t. Four
teen irreconcilyable Democrats op-
posed to any reservations more
drastic than interpretations consti-
tuted the, minority. They were Gay,
Gerry, Glass, Harris, Hitchcock,
johnson (South Dakota,) Jones
(New Mexico), King, Ransdell, Shep-
pard, Smith (South Carolina), Walsh
(Montana), Williams, Wolcott.
Previous to the fight over this
reservation the Senate adopted the
Lodge reservation which withholds
the assent Of the United States to
the Shantung settlement and re-
serves freedom of action.
Hitchcock Substitute Rejected.
The original reservation was
changed on motion of Mr.. Lodge to
elimination specific references to a
possible future conflict between
China and Japan. Mr.. Lodge said
the change did not modify the reser-
walton "one iota."
Mr.. Hitchcock contended for a
substitute reservation providing
that the Senate ratified the treaty
with the understanding that Japan
was to restore Shantung to China
under the conditions outlined, to
President Wilson by the japanese
delegates to the peace conference.
The Hitchcock substitute was re-
jected "a to IL. Senators Gore. Reed

was adopted 4s to 81. Ten Demo-
Gratis voted for it. They were:

sentiment of criticism by Mr.. Borah

ments. both in price and quantity.
Asked Six Months supply.
In view of the unsettled status
of the bunker oil market at that
time the board decided to call for
bids for only six months supply
for the period ending September 80,
1920. These were the bids opened
yesterday.
Bids were received for furnishing

oil. but none of the companies Of
fered to deliver the oil at the At
lantic and Pacific ports where the
ships operated by the Board are
fueled.
Minimum bids were received for
the delivery of oil at Jacksonville.
Fla, at $1.50 per barrel; New Or
leans, $1.40 per barrel and Calves
ton. s1.30 per barrel. These prices
are from 76 to 80 per cent higher
than those Of last year.
Need Il Urgent.
The fact that the bids are gener-
ally considered high and that the
companies would not agree to de-
liver the oil to the ports designated
in the Shipping Board proposals. Is
construed to mean that the President
must take almost immediate action
in order that the supply may not
become wholly depleted. 1t is con-
sidered likely that the whole matter
will be submitted to the President
