Men Say Girls in
Money Factory
Primp Too Much
Now There Is a Merry Sex
War On-''Flappers'' Hold
An Indignation
Meeting.

Washington, Jan. 8.-A merry sex
war is in progress in Uncle Sans
money factory.
The war started when the Plate
Printers union in the bureau of en-
craving and printing made formal
charges that there were too many
"trifling girls in the bureau and that
they were retarding the efficiency
and the amount of production OF
paper money. In their charges the
plate printers intimAed that too
much time was spent by girls en-
poyed in the bureau in administer
ing little dabs. of paper and
powder In fact it was intimated
that the plate printers objected to
.Happers" being employed in the
bureau
The plate printers let themselves
i'll for trouble.
Condemn Attitude.
Federal Employees Union No. los,
embracing the women employees of
the bureau, at an indignation meet
ing condemned the attitude of the
plate printers, denied their charges
and deploted their giving publicity
to what they alleged to be mis-
statement of facts.
Miss Gertrude McNally, secretary
Of the union. declared that the rec
ords of the examining division show
ed that the greatest percentage OF
spoilage OF printers work is for "s1y-
Wines" lifts" and breaks, which
spoilage could in no way be attribu-
ted to the assistants.
Paid BY Piece.
"Plate printeh are paid by the
piece rate and in may instances the
presses are speeded up for produc-
ton at the expense of the quality
of the work. Miss McNally stated.
1t is predicted that the charges of
the Plate Printers union will result
in considerable friction in the future
between the printers and their as
sistancts, since if inefficiency does ex-

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. which
is very. injurious, as 1t dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get Mulsifled
at any drug store, and q few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoonful
is all that is required. 1t makes. an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking.

out every particle of dust. dirt and

Don't Blame the Wari
Dear Son:

Lear Son.
Your letter tellin how hard it was
fer you to work is arrived Every
young man discovers this with con-
siderable surprise when he first tries
it. The only thing that riled me was
your tryin to blame it on the war.
1t seems that instead of bein lesson
to humanity the war is just a door
step fer folks to leave their foun-
ding faults on. Fer the last two
years every man, woman an child
what ever had relative rejected Ly
the draft board has blamed every
thin on the war from high prices to
low morals.
l cant fgger why rustlin oats in
remount depo or doin kitchen po-
lice should unfit a man fer everythin
but gran larceny an petty murder
fer the rest of his life. An yet when
folks pick up their mornin papers
an read the days billy-fare of crime
they just take it fer granted an say,
"It's the war" As matter of fact
the most action lot of these Jessy
Jamses saw was when they was
dodgin the draft board.
There's a wave of assalt an bat
terry flowin over the country. An
instead of dykin it up folks is cram
in their necks to see where it comes
from. It's got so that when a man
gets home little late from a poker
game. instead of tellin how he had
to work down at the Office he says
how he was detained by beiif held
up an robbed. An his wife looks
relieved an says:
ooh is that all! was SO worried
when you didn't come home that
something might have happened to

Your young brother won't read

would hold up an old stage coach in

There's no sense III bein' bad man
if nobody knows it. He's bright
little fello, your brother, an knows

There was a time when these fell

their. hands in their own pockets in

SHORTAGE OF MINISTER'S

1t is announced that IL, 900 Protestant puplits
will be vacant next year with small supply of ministers
on which to draw A census of the graduates of the
theological seminaries reveals but about 800 young
men to fill all the vacancies. There has been a gem
1916 This decrease was felt by the Roman Catholics
too, in the number seeking TO enter the priesthood but
there has been almost complete recovery there. How
ever the Protestant denominations can see no relief in
sight.
Many reasons are offered for the reluctance of
young men to seek the ministry but a suggestion from
the Harvard Divinity School doubtless contains the
the economic status of the minister and he CORES
bonding decline in his social influence are NEST i'm
portant contributory causes"
Too many persons who consider themselves in
good standing as communicates appear to regard the
minister as a sort of mendicant. yet II he is worth hav-
ing at all he should be paid a salary commensurate
with his position and it should be paid Just as prompt
should the salary suffer In comparison with the earn
ings Of men in other professions requiring like equip
ment and training.
When the minister Is treated on a strict bust
ness basis young men with a yearning to work ter
the betterment Of their fellowmen may not shun the
profession. Ministers have to live and educate their
families and lay by something for age. Because 1t is
so difficult now to accomplish those things on the
meager salaries paid on the average, it is astonishing,
rather, that anyone without Independent means should
enter the ministry.

NO VACATION FOR PRESIDENT

President Harding, 1t Is announced from the white
house. will take no lengthy vacation this summer. Many
Invitations have been extended to him to spend the heat
ed season at various resorts but he will stay on the
job. He will take a few weekend trips in order to get
5rief rests from the cares of his lofty position and these
will constitute his vacation. AS he has remarked, while
congress is in session he will be In session also.
Sticking to duty is a laudable trait and since there
is much to be done the presidents decision is commend
able, but at the same time he should have a care not to
conhne himself too closely to his office. Even Presidents
need have regard for their health. Washington pos
sesses anything but a fine summer climate. It is ener-
waiting. When the heat of July and August descends
on the capital it is OF a nature to sap the vitality OF the
most vigorous. This In connection with the exhaust
ing routine that befalls the occupant of the %presiden-
tial office tests endurance to the utmost.
Since his induction into office President Harding
has not spared himself. He has reversed the procedure
of his predecessor and daily makes himself available to
persons who have suggestions to offer or who come seek
ing favor at his hands. He is scarcely more secluded
and is reached almost as readily as when he vas a pri-

MUTES SHOUT SAVES LIVES
Incident That Can Only Be Regarded
as Miracle Is Related by
English Bishop.

An extraordinary story of how a
dumb man, peer of tie realm, was
given the power to utter one word,
thereby saving many lives, was told by
Dr. Kennion, bishop of Bath and
Wells, at the dedication of a new home
for deaf mutes in Bath, England.
The peer was a former Lord Car
berry and friend of DR.. Kennion.
Lord Carbery,' said the bishop,
"was aboard a steamer sailing from
Cork to Bristol. A dense fog came on
and passengers could see nothing.
Even the lookout man was unaware of
danger, when Lord Carbery, who was
sitting in the bow, shouted loudly,
Land It often happens VIXEN God
has deprived a man of one sense he
increases the power of another. Lord
Carbery was able to see what others
could not, and realizing the ship was
making straight for the black mass,
his excitement forced that one word
from his lips.
"The captain put the Eelm round
and the vessel just skinned past the
southernmost rock of Eundy island.
We all had a most narrow escape, and
many lives were saved by Lord Car
bery's warning"
That word '1and" was the only one
Lord Carbery ever uttered.

That this lesson should be taught
as a fundamental principle of civ
ilized society must be quite evident
1t is more vital than many things we
emphasize. Let it be said both in
secret and from the housetops that
to be unkind is to be unjust.
There is much suffering, especially
in remote regions. The advance of
civilization must bring it's end; else
it is not true civilization. Let us
unite, therefore, to hasten the day
when there may be justice to all,
even to the dumb animal and when
he, as well as every human being
may receive his rightful recognition
as a creature of God.
