for the government control period. The
government owes the short lines about
$25, 100000, making total for the gov

1t is further estimated that the gov

is UNCLE SAM penalizing marriage

Miss Elsie Hill Of the National WO-
mans party states that several Of the
government departments which are
now reducing their payrolls have is
sued Questionnaires to their women
employees in order to find out which
are married and which are single. A
QUESTIONABLE sent out by the air serv-
ice is evidently designed to gain furth-
er information about the circum-
stances of the married women. 1t asks
each of these to tell whether she is
living with her husband If not, wheth-
er she is legally separated from him
whether the husband is dependent up
on her for support, and whether any
members of her immediate family are
employed by the government, and If
so, how much each earns.

Hays Would Coax Out Timid Savings

~ HROUGH the postofice savings
system Postmaster General Hays
is trying to run the American Stock
ing-bank out of business. He plans to
take the money now hidden away and
put it in circulation by encouraging the
people to put their money in Uncle
Sans bank. AS banker Uncle Sam
stands supreme. He has the conf
dence not only of the American born
but of the foreign born. Half mil
lion depositors have funds in the post
Office bank, drawing but two per cent
a year interest. How many more per-
sons, particularly of the immigrant
classes, are there who are keeping
their savings in their stockings be-
cause the interest rate is not very at
tractive2
The postmaster general is seeking
to bring into circulation and profitable
employment the S1,O0O,OO0O00 which
he claims is now being boarded and
therefore lost to industry. In order
to accomplish the end he has in view
he intends to have the postal savings
system revised so as to make It more
attractive to potential small deposit
tors. He makes eight suggestions, OF

Is Uncle Sam Now Penalizing Marriage?

Following the issuance of these
questionnaires, Miss Hill states, a
large number of married women have
been dropped from the rolls of the de-
partments, without regard to their
efficiency. In many cases, she says,
married women of long experience and
established value have been dropped
for no other discOverable reason than
that they are married. At the same
time, she says, the civil service is hold
ing examinations for employees OF
similar grade and kind.
The object Of the various depart
ments in dropping married women
from their rolls is plain. They are
compelled to drop those who will suf-
fer least hardship as a result. Obvious
ly, the married woman who has an
employed husband is less apt to suffer
from the loss of her job than the sim
gle woman entirely dependent upon
her own resources.
The women recognize this motive
and its practical justification. They
realize that the bureau chiefs are not
trying to strike a blow at marriage.
But they claim that in effect it is a
blow at marriage, and also at the
right of a woman to work and be in
dependent. 1t is this latter phase of the
question which chiefly interests the
women politicians.

DESIGNED FOR
HOME BUILDERS
Comfortable Seven-ROom House
Of Frame Construction.
ATTRACTIVE IN EVERY WAY
Plans Drawn for Those Who Cannot
Afford to Put Large Sums Into
Building in Which They
Are to Live.
Rx William a. RApFoRp.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account Of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1897 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, and only inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
Every man who is the head of a
family has somewhere in the back of
his mind a desire to own a home of
his own for himself and his family.
That this desire has not been graft
fed may be due to any number of
things, but the one that prevents most
people from owning the house in
which they live is that they never
really started to acquire home.
For the average person, buying a
home is a considerable undertaking,
one that means the taking on Of an
obligation that will require a number
Of years to pay. The investment looks
large and will probably require some
sacrifices, but once start is made
the satisfaction more than repays the
effort.
No man, however, should undertake
to buy home that costs more than
it is reasonably certain he will be
able to pay for. This error is the
reason that has caused many to lose
their homes after start toward own
ing them has been made. Good judg-
ment in picking the site and in erect
ing a home that meets the needs of
the family and at the same time will
not require a larger investment than
can be handled, are two essentials in
successfully acquiring a home.

In the olden days there lived in the
vicinity of Shelby a sheepherder
named Bill. Bill, like most members
Of his profession, was wont to work
faithfully for the greater part Of the
year and then blow into town and
waste his substance in a short period
Of riotOus living. Returning from one
Of those trips broke, his employer
asked him:
"Bill, you left here with $4OO. What
became of it?"
Bill studied for a minute and re-
piled:
'Waal, reckon lost about q hum

"What did you do with the other

naughty women in history, not the good

At the same time it is comparative
