certain of permanent employment.
But the salaries are small very
small. Like the teacher, the iiprarian
must struggle TO make both ends meet
and keep up appearances. She nus
usually had thorough education anu
special training that has cost money.
Sometimes she begins her work Win
n debt to pay OFF. She often Injuries
her health In the attempt to do this.
This Is wrong.
| know one young woman who Is
librarian In technical library. Every
thing about the work Is attractive and
interesting; the girl loves 1t. But she
could not afford to keep the position
we're 1t not that she has small pri-
yate Income to help, and no one de-
pendent upon her. She gets only s1,30o
a year, with short vacation.
Libraries and library positions are
to see great Increase In the next few
years. Clever and well-bred women
will be In demand. But how can such
women afford, with living expenses
what they are. to take positions so
poorly paid?
There must be change In these
things.
The community must recognize that
positions of this kind, which are an as
set to the whole neighborhood, should
receive fair return. A good library
cannot be good unless the librarians
who work In 1t are well trained and
iirst-class. Such cannot go on forever
making sacrifices because they wish
to serve the community. and love the
labor they do
1t Is high time to insist on proper
increase In library salaries.

WHEN TO
PULL UP

We once knew a colored man who
spent good deal of his time fishing,
but who seldom brought home any
fish. We wondered about 1t, and one
day we crept down to the creek where
he was fishing. After that we didn't
wonder. He had baited his hook with
a big fat worm. dropped it in the
water and then hung his pole In tree
where the fish could grab the bait
Then he laid down ON the bank and
went to sleep. When he awoke and
pulled In his line the hook was bare.
The fish had nibbled the bait off and
gone on their way, tickled over the
fishermans ignorance.
He hadn't caught any fish simply
because there was nobody there to
jerk on the pole when the fish nibbled.
And there are some men right here
In Winnemucca going through life the
same way that fellow fished. They
go through all the preliminaries to
doing a good business, then they drop
into a snooze and leave the fish to
eat up all the bait. They put one ad
in the paper-and then never back up
that ad when it gets the prospective
customer into the store. They hang
up their sign, but are not there to
pull on the line when it is time to
draw In business.
A man can start on thousand-mile
trip in five minutes, but he has got
to keep travelling to get to the place
he il headed for. And he can work
up big business when he puts
single ad in the paper-providing he
follows 1t up In a careful, sensible
systematic way. Think this over, you
men who. like the fisherman, are not
present to jerk on the pole when the
fish bites.

BLONDES AND BRAINS
By F. II. WALKER

A LEARNED judge was recently
"A quoted as announcing from his
bench that he would not approve of
blonde ladies' as members OF Jury
which was about to hear case under
his Jurisdiction.
"BIondes are tickle" were the words
attributed to the Justice. intllnatllig
hat fickeness is q bar TO what the
law is supposed to assure the person
on trial.
A wear or so ago a big Western emf
Mover In advertising for office help
announced that he would not receive
the applications of blondes, giving as
reason that he had found them In
attentive to work and temperamental
In disposition.
There has always been good deal
of discussion regarding the relative
attractiveness of blondes and bru-
nettes despite the fact that In the
long ago when the caveman was the
highest type of civilization, We were
all blonde, or at least red hair was
the darkest tint.
The reason why nature covered
primeval men and women with blonde
or red hair was twofold; that II
served the same purposes of low WIS.,
ibuity which Is gained by the animals
whose fur coats blend with the sur
roundings in which they live and the
fact that those colors better protected
the skin from the effects Of direct sun
light.
We know that these colors OF hair
prevailed because in the discovery or
almost every burial place OF people OF
that time light or reddlshly tinged
hair has been found.
It is interesting to note that the
three parts of the body which longest
resist the dlsntegration which follows
death are the teeth, the finger nails
and the hair. and Of these the last
two are very nearly of the same char
acter
Which is getting some little way
distant from the contention that
blonde women are not fit for jury duty
because they are tickle.
Dido. queen of Carthage, OF whom
Virgil writes In the Aeneid. was not
tickle. although she was blonde. She
stuck to her hero through thick and
thin and killed herself with sword
that he furnished.
Cleopatra, who had red hair,
shade darker than the real blonde.
was not what one might call absolute
ly constant In her devotions, but In
modern society she might not be listed
as extremely tickle.
But the analyzing Of society. ancient
or modern, according to the color Of
the hair. would not furnish very sub
stantlal basis for judging either wom-
en- or men, blondes or brunettes.
1t is what is just under their hair
that establishes the real qualifications
FOR any sort of duty.
Brains are all one color.
II the color of hair determined
ability what would become Of the un-
fortunates who haven't any hair at
all?
Never mind about your hair. young
lady readers. Don't bother about Its
color, and don't spend too much time

If you are to be anxious about any
thing, be anxious about the inside Of
your head instead of the outside.
That's the side that counts.

FREINWALD'S CASE Is
HELD UP in SENATE
Florida Senators Are Investigating Ell
igibility of Man Nominated to Be
Valparaiso Postmaster.
(ey GEORGE H. MANNINGJ

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 21.-The
nomination Of f. J. FriewaId to be
postmaster at Valparaiso, Florida, is
being held up in the senate by the
Florida senators. pending an investiga-
tion as to whether he comes within the
rule requiring residence in a town two
years before the examination is held
to secure eligibles for appointment as
postmaster.
The Valparaiso postoffice advanced
from the fourth to the third class on
July /, 1921, changing the status of the
postmaster, Warren c. Armstrong. An
examination was ordered by the civil
service commission for September 3rd,
but nobody took the examination.
Armstrong applied for promotion
without examination, but the postoffice
department declined his request.
Last Wednesday the president sent
to the senate the nomination of f. J.
FreiwaId to be postmaster. 1t win be
held up while to permit investigation
as to whether FriewaId has been a
bona fide resident of Valparaiso for
two years prior to the date of the ex-
animation If it is shown that he was
not a resident continuously for two
years before the examination it would
make him Ineligible for appointment.
