GRAMMAR AND WASHING
(PortIand Oreronian1


 But Mrs. Wissinger," spoke up one or the young women teachers. If you were to take in washing, you would get $6 day, as against we teachers s5'' and again there was laughter.
 We should think there would also have been consternation, if the other guides of the young mind and guar- dians of good English who heard the remark. were not wholly off duty. The paragraph is from the. Oregonians re- port of a meeting at Milwaukee Ore. between the school board and the pub lie school teachers
 It IS interesting and even pleasing to note that Milwaukie washerwomen get S6 per day. It is somewhat above the scale, we hear, in other places. though there was an interesting story in the papers the other day about the modern washerwomans practice of go- ing to her work in her automobile
 But what we started out to say was that the particular school teacher quoted would do better, far better. to several accounts. to take up washing where no questions will be asked about her grammar. Or has the wicked re- porter put words in her mouth that she did not use?

Quick Watson. The Needle.

TUCSON.-Is railway from Hud- son Bay to Patagonia and Buenos Aires a. feasible project, or it is an industrial dream? Will Tucson onO day be a resting place for tourists from Brazil, Ecuador Peru, Chile and Colombia, as it is today the resting point and the playground of tourists from the east ern states of the American Union?
 Colonel Epes Randolph, with the sympathy and assistance of Edward H. Hartman, thought so to the extent of expending millions of dollars con structing a link that would extend south from the Southern Pacific's transcontinental line, to Topic, with the object in view of taking the line ulti mately to the Mexican capital.
 The construction of such a, line is not only a feasible project, but it is a project that is already under way. Not as a single project, being carried out by a great international corporation, but as the identical aim of progressive men in the North, South and Central American republics.

PERSONETTE
By Niksah HELEN GRIFFITH

Helen Griffith did her bit during the war by plumbing. She is the only
 woman plumber who went abroad with
 the A. F. F., and she says she enjoyed
 it immensely. Only she doesn't like
 to be called plumber Not because she feels the title beneath her, but, on the contrary, because she feels all un- worthy of such an honor. For to Helen Griffith the word does not call up the image of a dirty and overalled man who spends languid hours under the Kitchen sink doing vague and noisy things. to the pipes. Rather it stands for dignified and high class profes- sion which few are able to follow as intelligently as it should be followed.
 No. you mustn't call me a Plumb CT, she says, pronouncing the word reverently with capital. T am really only a Plumbers helper. although | was classed as a Plumber and did the work of one in our group in France Why 1t takes years and years of study to be real Plumber. Plumbing is science. A man has to work and study Tor very long time. and then pass a state examination and get a license before he has a right to call himself Plumber
 What do you think of it as a pro- fession for the so-called gentler sex?r she was asked
 Tt is a very good calling for women to take up,' she answered. ''Of course they can't do the heaviest work, but they can hire assistants for that And most plumbing is light and skiHful work at which women particularly ex- eel rather than hard manual Ia bor Then there is a lot of science con nected with plumbing and women have always been good scientists. Plumb ing plays a large part in the average housewife's life. and woman plumber would probably use more sympathy and understanding in planning the plumbing for the home.''
 Really when Miss Griffith talks of 1t becomes one of the most romantic, interesting and benevolent of pursuits. It seems strange that she does not intend to dedicate her own life to it, but apparently she doesn't feel the call. At any rate she has given up plumbing as profession, and taken up a line that isn't quite such mental strain. She has forsaken her pipes and wrenches. and is now playwright.

ing 200 pounds, and with the left eye 'scattered' as if shot had entered it. The sight of the right eye was also inn paired, Randall said, in furnishing AL lens description to the authorities. He was dressed in checkered mackinaw and corduroy trousers, although he sometimes wore greasy overalls when repairing the car. He wore a black tie, and the lower edge of his upper front teeth were tipped with gold. His face was unshaven His shoes were yellow.
