Women Taxpayers Present
 New Problem at City Hall

With the enacting of legislation that requires women to pay personal taxes, the elevator operators at City Hall find themselves confronted with new obstacles. The elevator at all times is busy, but with the many new taxpay- CTS who ride to the office on the fourth floor it is often overcrowded. AS an aid to relieve the congestion the operators have asked that women leave their children at home when coming to pay taxes, since many un- necessary trips are occasioned through the presence of children.

MAY USE JACK PINE
Possibility That This Wood Can Be Made Into Newsprint Paper Is Be- ing Investigated.

Montreal, Jan. 27.-Possibility of utilizing jack pine for making news print paper today is occupying the in- terest of members of the Canadian Plup and Paper association who in recent years have watched with ap- prehension the steady dwindling of the spruce forests, heretofore regard ed as the only considerable source of supply for newsprint.
 Use of jack pine for the purpose was advocated as the association's meeting yesterday by Maurice Neil son, who said that his firm the Bel gian Industrial Co. Ltd, had carried on successful experiments with jack pin under both the sulphite and ground wood processes of manufac- ture.
 MT. Nelson pointed out that the de- pletion of the spruce forests entailed ever increasingly long hauls to the mill, while jack pine is plentiful and cheap and attains commercial size 40 years earlier than spruce.

Representative Williams declared
that the final day of Hays admins
tration of the postoffice department
was ito millions of Republicans" one
of Thanksgiving and rejoicing" He
asserted that Hays was the prince OF
mugwumps." Williams concluded his
TRADE by reciting a parody on the
poem, 1.-THE Burial of Sir John Moore"
The Williams verse bore the title,
1.-THE Burial of Sir Will Hays" Its
recital was greeted with gales of
laughter.
1t is an odd fact that the now ia
nous Hays order for the appoint
ment of postmasters was criticised by
both Republicans and Democrats; by
the advocates of civil service appoint
ments in the postal service, and by
those members of congress, both Re
publicans and Democrats, who believe
in the distribution of misunderstanding
as political patronage without inter-
ference on the part of the civil serv-
ice commission.
The Hays order is "straddle," at
tempting as it does to fuse two abso-
lutely non-fusible political elements,
namely, civil service and patronage
The Hays order permits the civil
service to proceed to the point of Sc
lecting three eligibles for each post
mastership, then patronage, hobbled
and bound, steps in, the congressman
being permitted to designate one of
the three men selected under the merit
system for the vacancy to be filled.
