Is Uncle Sam Now PenaIizing Marriage?

whether the husband is dependent up
on her for support, and whether any
members of her immediate family are
employed by the government, and II
so, how much each earns.
Following the issuance of these
missionaries, Miss Hill states, a
large number of married women have
been dropped from the rolls of the de-
partments, without regard to their
efficiency.
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 result. Obvious
", 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
irving to strike a blow at marriage.
But they claim that in effect 1t is a
blow at marriage, and also at the
right Of a woman to work and be In
dependent.

Uncle Sam and Railroads Negotiating

NEGOTIATIONS looking to the
~ funding of the railroad indebted
ness of approximately $500, 100000 to
the government and the settlement Of
the claims of the railroads against the
government are under full way be-
tween government officials and the
railway executives. These negotiations
have resulted in progress toward def
mite conclusions.
Railway officials estimate that the
net amount due the railroads from the
government is somewhere between
S575, 100000 and $6OO,0O0000. They
admit that it is difficult to make a
definite estimate of the total amount
due because of the items in dispute.
Roughly, however, they place the
amount yet due for the period of gov
eminent control at $3S3,O00,0O0 and for
the guaranty period of six months at
ter federal control at $229000,O00.
Director General Davis estimates
that the claims of the railroads
against the railroad administration
will aggregate $1,250,OOO,0OO. Forty
seven railroads have already settled

the amounts claimed by them The

Lovers In the Next World.

A marriage ceremony in unusual
circumstances is reported from Japan.
A young man and a young woman
committed shinju, or double suicide,
for love, by throwing themselves into
the sea. Both bodies were recovered
and cremated with Buddhist ceremO-
MES. The ashes were then brought to
the home of the girls father and he
performed a marriage ceremony with
the ashes of the two lovers.
According to the Buddhist faith, the
marriage tie contracted in this world
will carry over to the next. When
circumstances prevent a marriage in
this world, many japanese men and
women commit suicide in the hope OF
a happy married life In the world to
come.
