us. ENGRAVERS'
JOBS SAFE NOW, :
SAYS W|LMET
No More Wholesale DismissaIs
Unless Work of Bureau Is
CurtaiIed.

There will be no more wholesale
dismissals from the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing unless there is
further curtailment in the work there.
This was the statement made today
by James l.. Wilmeth. the director, in
announcing that during the month of
August the force at the bureau had
been cut 200. The force is now down
to bed rock, the director said.
Director Wilmeth said that during
the last two months, the force at the
Bureau had been cut 10000 during
July and 200 this month. The largest
number of employees in the Bureau
during the war rush was 5000. The
force at the Bureau is now about 5000.
The cuts in the working force at the
Bureau has been felt more in Wash
ington that the cuts in any other de-
partment or bureau, Director Wilmeth
said today. because the employees of
the Bureau are all residents of Wash
ington or nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
In the case with other bureaus and
departments, he said many of the dis
missed employees were residents of the
States and when they lost their places
they went back home.

Local Merchants Look for Big
Increase in Business as
Employees Return.

More than $4,000, 900 has already
been spent on summer vacations by
Washington Government employees, 1t
was estimated today by Government
officials and bureau chiefs in the va
rious departments. =
A survey showed that nearly all OF
the $4,000 Government employees In
Washington have already taken their
vacation at nearby summer resorts.
thousands of Uncle Sans workers
spent from two weeks to a month at
the various resorts in Virginia, In
Guiding Virginia Beach. Buckroe
Beach, Norfolk and other places, and
an equally large number spent their
vacations at the various resorts on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Many Government employees, hav.
ing the money to spend, took trips
into Canada where things are not as
dry as in the United States since the
Volstead act became a law. The re-
sorts of New Jersey, principally At.
lantic City and Cape May, also had
their share of Washington patronage
Now that the summer vacation sea
son is practically over, SO far as the
large majority of the Government en-
ployes are concerned, Washington
merchants and business men look to
a revival of business, which naturally
slowed down during the summer
months. Many of the stores have
already begun showing early fall and
winter STYLES in both mems and WON
ems clothing and look forward to
very busy season.

This lady is asking a divorce
from her husband because he is
such a persistent kisser. He
kissed her so often and so fer
vently, she alleges in her bill of
complaint, that she fell off from
las pounds, when married, to
101 pounds after going through
the fire of passion showered
upon her by lovey dovey.
Her hubby, it may be men
toned, weighs 100 pounds, hav-
ing gained on his diet of forced
kisses.
From our long experience in
presiding over this column of
curiosities we have about reached
the conclusion that not only are
men and women mere creatures
of whims, but that the prohibit
ton law should be followed by
one requiring moderation in kiss
ing.
We often have complaints
from lady readers that their
husbands or sweethearts fail to
provide them with the proper
number of kisses and we have
been under the impression that
kisses were as necessary to wom-
ankind as chocolate candy or ice
cream. So we have been dis
posed to rail against those men
who utterly failed to gather in
the nectar so freely offered.
Now, we're stunned and upset
in all our theories of love and
kisses, and, as usual, We seek
the philosophical views OF those
wise readers who may have
found the real panacea.
1t would pain us very much to
be compelled to stow away the
conviction that women get sore
if you don't kiss 'em in abun-
dance and lose weight if you kiss
'em too much.
It's cruel world and YOU
never know what to 10!

is widely known in amateur athletic
circles in this city. During the time
he was a student at Eastern High
School, he was an all-around athlete,

The case of Morrissey, it is said,

unappreciated. In 1917. he entered
the Shipping Board service receiving
a salary of $500 a year. according to
Morrissey's associates.
He enlisted the same year in the
army, returning after the war to the
Shipping Board. When he received
his notice to resign, he was making

BRITISH MINERS
DECLINE Offer
OF GOVERNMENT
Vote to Stand Pat on Original
Demand for Recognition Of
National Wages Pool.

LONDON, England, May 26.-The
governments offer to contribute f10.-
100000 to the coal industry has been
rejected by striking coal miners. The
money was to be spread over a period
of four months to increase wages in
districts where rates are low.
The miners declare that the offer
is temporary solution, and at the
end of the four months the fight will
have to be renewed.
The miners insist On their original
demand-a national wages pool, while
the government is supporting the coal
owners demand that wages be set by
districts. The miners plan provides
for small levy on each ton of coal
mined in Great Britain. which will be
used to equalize wages in the poorer
districts. The coal owners district
plan, the miners declare, would make
it possible for Welsh miners to be
working overtime, while Scottish min
ers were starving, and for Yorkshire
miners to be working while South
Wales was on strike.
The government is conducting a
publicity campaign in mining sections
in behalf of it's offer, while the coal
owners declare that they "detest" the
wages pool even more than the nation
