CHILDREN CLEAN LONDON STREETS
Juvenile "White Villagers" Are Paid 15 Cents and Some
 times 20 Gents a Week

London, March 6-(Reciprocai News service)-A once familiar figure has re- turned to the streets of London She is the "step-girl"
 Before the war, when living was cheap and wages correspondingly low, young girls, and sometimes boys, used to go from house to house, early in the morn ings and wash the stone steps of front doors, for which operation they received something like 15 cents a week from each house.
 Then the war came and everything went up in price. Domestic servants left for munition factories and the boys and girls who used to wash the steps got more lucrative jobs in factories. So many a housewife had to wash her own front steps, or leave them. to accumulate the dust and grime unashamed.
 Depression has followed peace. Munt- ton factories are closed. Men and wom- en are out of work. Women are going back into domestic service for s12O B year, with bNard and room; and the steps are brighter and cleaner than for many

SVENGALI BREAKS

Billee and his companions left abruptly for London. La Svengaifs London debdt followed Billee met Svengal in a hotel, and they fought. Taffy tweaked Sven- galrs nose, and the night of Trilbys London engagement Svengali was found dead in his box. The theatre manager, not knowing Svengali had passed out urged Trilby to sing.
 "Aw, go kid your grandmother said the girl who had been target for ru- bies, "I can't sing"
 Try" urged the manager
 With her old good humor, Trilby tried to sing Ben Bolt, and the whole house started tossing tomatoes instead of jewels.
 The three musketeers took her home For three years she had been hypno- tized by Svengali every time he wanted her to sing.
 Trlby couldn't survive much longer without her mesmeric shots in the arm, so she passed into that realm wherein | Svangali had stumbled. Biliee, not to be outdistanced. followed her shortly after wards.

Tn spite of her voice, TriIby became a regular visitor to the studio of the three musketeers of the bursh. She alarmed their socks, cooked for them and one by one they all fell in love with her. But Trilby had eyes only for Little Billee. Svengah came often and sat beside her and wooed her in Ipelo- die terms, as follows:
 Some day Svengali. clad in rich furs. will go to the Morgue and see a bead- tiful skeleton. And he will say, Ii is Trilby. You have such lovely bonesr You had better come to me before it is too late"

ident named more republicans than demo- crats as postmasters.
 Senator Hitchcock, some days later, read the list into the Congressional Rec- ord. where it will stand forever. Senator Lodge, the republican leader, in effort to counteract the effect of the publica- tion, declared that the executive order by President Wilson abolishing the 'spoils system had been so "cunningiy' drawn that vacancy would not occur as result of the expiration of term of of fee. Senator Lodge was attempting to prove that President Wilson suffered all then existing postmasters to go under civil service, and retain their jobs for life, and authorized competitive examina- ations for subsequent vacancies caused by death or resignation or dismissal for cause.
 THE WILSON IDEA
 To this contention, Senator Underwood, democratic leader, replied: The civil service laws were passed a quarter of a century or more ago, and they author ized the President of the United States to blanket into civil service any employees of the government that he desired except those whose nominations required con firmation. When that was done under a republican administration, no civil serv- ice examinations were ever held for<men

HARDING REGIME WILL REVERT ID

Wilson's Strict Adherence to Civil Service Law En- barrassed His Own Party.
 Moses Crushed
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The AEe-Heral
 800 Davidson Buildinr

Washington. March L)-There is scarcely a doubt but that President Harding will revert to the so-calied '.spoils system" and dismiss democrats from the postal service in that repup- iicans might be given desirable positions.
 It is evident, however, that the Presi- dent will not declare his purpose in un- equivocal language. It is regarded as en- tirely probable, on the other hand. that he will turn out democrats who won their jobs as result of competitive ex- aminations, and then provide for new ex- aninations. In other words, the admin istration, it is indicated, will abandon the ''spoiis system after spoilsmen have been we'll entrenched in office-win aban- don it to prevent their subsequent dis Judgement.
 There is apparently little regret that Harding will pursue that course. Presi- dent Wilson's attempt to fill the postof- flee of the country with non-partisans aiienated disappointed democrats, and won no party convert. It is a mooted question as to whether the postal service was AiHplOFC4 eSS d.
