TEMPORARY CUTS
IN PRINTING FORCE
U. S. Employees Obliged to
Take Furloughs Without
Pay as Work SIacks Up.

Stacking up Of work at the Govern
ment Printing Office has necessitated
the institution of a furlough system
by which the force in the bindery and
press rooms has been reduced an
average of nearly 100 employees. it
was stated today by Public Printer
Carter.
OF the approximately $500 employees
at the printing office only about 1000
are on duty. he said. The others are
either on enforced furlouGh, without
pay, or are taking advantage of their
annual leave while the work at the
plan; is at an ebb, be said. :. =
Lose Two Days Per Month.
Employees whose annual leave has
been used up are theones who have
be en- furToue ehed. Under1his system
each ,furloughed employe Is released
from duty in rotation an average of
two full days a month. it was ex
planned. The daily total of employees
thus off duty in the bindery alone
to twenty in the pressroom. Where
employees have portion of their an
nual leave remaining. they are al
lowed to take time oc with pay. The
furiougned workers. however. COM
prising both men and women of the
day and night forces. must lose the
equivalent of two full days pay each
month.
Mr. Carter hopes that with the pas
Sage of appropriation bills providing
for printing work of the various fed
eral departments and agencies the
turnover of work will be substantial
ly increased. Conditions should
change for the better by the first of
July. it was estimated. permitting of
the employment of Z full-time work
ing force. The number of employees
in the various departments of the big
print shop is about the same as be-
fore the war. it is said.
Fewer Orders Received.
Mr., Carter attributes the falling off
in supply of orders for government
printing jobs solely to the lack of ap-
preparations in the departments. He
said that several legislative measures
are now under consideration for rem
edying the depleted finances in the
federal bureaus having business with
the printing Office and that this fact
made officials at the plant optimistic
Had it not been the belief that
work would pick up" shortly. Mr..
Carter indicated some OF the fur
loughed employees, instead of still
Abeing carried on the rolls. might
have been without jobs before this.

this before the next meeting

Expert May Be Called.
Walter L. Fisher. a traction expert
of Chicago, will probably be asked
to come to Washington to help
straighten out the street car muddle.
Representatives KunZ and Sproui:
both of Illinois and both members OF
the House District committee. lndi-
Gated today. They have taken par
ticular interest in the hearings Wnlcn
have been held for the consideration
of all propositions looking toward a
solution of the street car problem ana
especially toward the merger OF the
two street car systems.
These two members have expressed
the desire to Chairman Focht OF the

man Zihlman of the special subcom-
mittce in charge of street car leS1s-
lation and indirectly to the Public
Utilities Commission. They wish Con-
gress and the District officials to

tensive traction experience in solving
the situation here anG particularly to
find a quick way to reduce the scent
car fare in the interest of the public.
Pins Faith ON Fisher.
Representative Kunz said he be-
heyed Mr. Fisher could clear up the
entire street car muddle here in three
months. He emphasized the fact that
that situation is continuing because
it takes too much time for any mem
Der of Congress to give it the inten-
sive study necessary for solution.
Representative KunZ points out that
in 1907 Mr.. Fisher drew up the ordi-
nance which remedied the street car
troubles in Chicago. and has been

OF New York University.


The wife comes home with a
brand new spring bonnet-greeni
And you Just abominate green. even
before you see the bill In the in
terests OF family harmony can you
make yourself like that green hat7
You can, says Miss Margaret Floy
Washburn. professor Of psychology
at vassar, who with Miss Sarah
Louise Grose has recently been ex-
perimenting on the voluntary con-
troll OF likes and dislikes Of colors.
Although it is much easier. they
md. to change likes TO dislikes,
changes in the direction Of increased
pleasantness are much more perma-
nent If you finally make yourself
like that hat you will probably con-
tinue TO do so until another appears.
We are. as it were. superhcially
pessimistic and more ready to aban-
don our likes than our dislikes, but
deep down our nature is optimistic,
tending to cling to its undisturbed
likes and forget its dislikes.
The way you can most easily
change your likes and dislilxes for
colors, in the laboratory at any rate
is by imagining them in connection
with other things with which the,
would look better OF worse to you.
For instance. take piece o.
bright red ribbon. If you think o
1t as decorating pretty brunette
hair, it appears with a pleasant al
fective tone: but imagine II "a pane
on your parlor wall-horrorsi
So, II your wife has a pink con
plexion and insists on buying

would look on a rose bush and

The ritual of society, as women make 1t, is very exacting the world over, even in almshOuses. In this re- lation there is told story showing the serious difficulty that arose among a set of workhouse officials in a Western town.
 The infirmary nurses, three in num- Der. had demanded a separate sitting room and the delight of Sunday din- ner therein, and the matron had sought to humble them by sending the cook to enjoy her Sunday dinner in their company. The brawny cook described what occurred as follows:
 "Well, Nurse Jones, she comes down and gets inside the door, Four platesT she says. Four? Who's the fourth? Me says I. Your she says, and with that she losses her head and walks away"
 Here the cook drew a long breath, and then continued: If it hadn't been Sunday, gentlemen, should have let her have it for calling me you p" Exchange.
