THE GIRL ON THE JOB +:
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
LIBRARY WORK

IBRARY work has great appeal
IL to many women. A girl is sure
Of good deal of liberty in such work,
can add to it's value and interest if
she be so minded, and can feel fairly
certain of permanent employment.
But the salaries are small, very
small. Like the teacher, the librarian
must struggle to make both ends meet
and keep up appearances. She has
usually had a thorough education and
a special training. that has cost money.
Sometimes she begins her work with
a debt to pay of. She often Injuries
her health in the attempt to do this.
This Is wrong.
l know one young woman who is
librarian in a technical library. Every
thing about the work is attractive and
interesting; the girl loves it. But she
could not afford to keep the position
were II not that she has a small pri-
vate income to help, and no one de-
pendent upon her. She gets only 81 300
a year, with short vacation.
Libraries and library positions are
to see a 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 a change in these
things.
The community must recognize that
positions of this kind, which are an as
set to the whole neighborhOOd, should
receive a fair return. A good library
cannot be good unless the librarians
who work in it are well trained and
first-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 a proper
increase in library salaries.

Harding OrIHarvey?

A Boston supporter of PresI-
dent Harding quotes with great
approval the following from the
recent address'of the President
incidental to the bringing back
Co America of the remains of s.
900 American soldiers, asking
triumphantlyEif the words found
below do not show the proper
conception by the President of
Americas motives in going to
war:
these heroes were sacrificed
in the supreme conflict of all hui
man history. Tney saw democ-
racy challenged and defended it.
They saw civilization threatened
and rescued it. They saw Amer
lea affronted and resented it.
They saw our nations rights inn
periled, and sta nped those rights
with new sanctity and renew
ed security"
This is well said. If we could
be sure that it represented the
real thoughts of the President,
we could accept it as a summing
up satisfactory to the whole ma
ton. But Mr.. Harvey, who
bears Mr.. Harding's commission
as American Ambassador to
Great Britain, has, in strident
terms, contradicted and denounc-
ed the thoughts Mr.. Harding ut
tiers above. Who, then, repre-
sents the Republican party,
Harding or Harvey? Mr.. Hard
ing straddled all through his
canvass for the Office Of Pres
ident; does he propose to contin-
ue to straddIe in the handling of
executive business?-Lou vile

Something to
Think Ab0ut
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 a jury
which was about to hear a case under
his Jurisdiction.
Blondes are tickle" were the words
attributed to the justice, intimating
that ickleness La q bar to what the
law is supposed to assure the person
On trial.
A year or so ago big Western en-
ployer in advertising for Office help
announced that he would not receive
the applications of blondes, giving as
attentive to work and temperamental
In disposition.
There has always been a 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 it
served the same purposes of low Wis
fbuity 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 of
almost every burial place of people of
that time light or reddishly tinged
hair has been found.
1t, is interesting to note that the
three parts of the body which longest
resist the disintegratiOn 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
fckle. although she was blonde. She
stuck to her hero through thick and
Thin and killed herself with a sword
that he furnished.
Cleopatra, who had red hair, a
shade darker than the real blonde
was not what one might call absolute
Iy 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
stantial basis for judging either WON
en- or men, blondes or brunettes.
1t is what is Just under their hail
that establishes the real qualification:
for any sort of duty.
Brains are all one color.
If the color of hair determined
ability what would become of the I'm
fortunates who haven't any hair a
all?
Never mind about your hair, youn;
lady readers. Don't bother about it
color, and don't spend too much tim
-'fxing" it.
If you are to be anxious about any
thing, be anxious about the inside o
your head instead of the outside
That's the side that counts.

Every automobile owner in the

the provisions of an act passed. by

measure is to assist in eliminating
the theft of motor vehicles and it is
believed that it will bring about a
reduction of he cost Of theft insur-
ance.
Under the provisions of the act the
secretary Of state will supply all IL
eensed car drivers with n copy of

What will happen to those drivers
who have not a proper license will be
embarrassing to them. BY July, 1922,

can be purchased or sccond-han car

In the penalty provisions it is pro-

more than 10 years incarceration in

Anti-Dumping H'H
Clause Explained

Washington, May 12-That the
anti-dumping clause in the emer-
gency tariff bill, which has passed
the House and is before the Senate,
will save the country from an inun-
dation of foreign goods made by
cheaper labor is contended by Chair
man Fordney, of he House Ways and
Means Committee. He says:
"The principle underlying the
adopted measure Of additional duty
to be added in prevention of dump
ing, particularly where the tariff val
uations are upon foreign market val
ues, is to add such an amount OF
duty as will equalize sales. at less
than the foreign home market value
or the foreign export value or cost
of production with profit added,
whichever may be the highest, there
by making it Improbable to dump
goods on the markets of the United
States at less prices. If the seller of
the goods is compelled to add as duty
the difference between the sales price
and what he would receive by selling
in the highest obtainable market, all
reward or inducement to dumping is
removed
Several countries Of the world in
the presence of the experience now
being undergone by this country
have enacted such legislation. 1t pro-
tects our industries and labor against
a now common species of commercial
warfare of dumping goods on our
markets at less than cost or home
value, If necessary, until our mar
kets are destroyed, whereupon the
dumping ceases and prices are
raised at above former levels to re-
coup dumping losses. By this pro-
