Marriage VS.. Business.

More and more young women are be-
ing trained for some definite work
today. They follow high school with
college and vocational work, and when
they are educated they are equipped
to fill a good position and draw good
salary.
Such women are not willing to give
UP their independent incomes when
they marry. They do not care to throw
their education and fitness into the
discard, and be satisfied with keep
ing house and living on the money
made by the man they marry; es-
pecially they are not willing to take
what he chooses to give them as
spending money. This may or may not
be fortunate; it certainly is fact
and one that takes a wider significance
with every passing year.-Exchange

To Alter Civil Service Act,

The National Civil Service Reform
league has asked the congress to In
corporate the following provisions in
the civil service law-provisions which
it says would remedy most Of the
weaknesses of the present law:
"Rules shall be made by the Unit
ed States civil service commission for
establishing standards of efficiency in
the public service uniform for each
class of employees; for ascertaining
and recording periodically the eff
cheney of individual employees and of
groups of employees; for service
records and ratings to be used in de-
termining the promotion, demotion or
removal of employees.
1.-THE commission may likewise pro.
vide for such efficiency tests, investi-
cations, and examinations, periodical
or otherwise, as may promote the good
Of the service and for the suspension,
demotion or removal from the service
of any employee who fails to pass sat
fsfactorily such tests, Investigations
and examinations or who fails to
reach the standard of efficiency pro-
vided by the commission.
Employees may also be suspended,
denoted or removed for any cause
which will promote the efficiency Of
the service upon written specifications
filed by the appointing authority,
head of department or any citizen, with
a board of hearings and adjustments
appointed by the civil service COM
mission such board shall give notice
of such specification to the person
whose removal is sought who shall
have the opportunity to be heard, and
the hearings, investigation and deter
mination of said board shall be made
within thirty days after the filing Of
such specifications, and the findings
and decisions of such board, when ap-
proved by the commission, shall be
final unless overruled by the Presl'
dent, and shall not be subject to re-
vision by any court"
"If this power is given to the civil
service commission in addition to the
present right of the appointing power
to remove absolutely any subordinate
after giving reasons and notice, there
will not be left any ground whatever
for the claim SO often made that the
civil service system prevents or OBJ
structs the discharge Of the inefti-
Gent" said William Dudley Foulke
Of Richmond, Ind, acting president Of
the league. "On the contrary 1t wilt
provide for such discharges Gar more
effectively than if they were left sole
ly in the hands of the appointing author
ity. The idea of reverting to the
monstrous abuses of the sr0iIs sys-
TEN in order to remove the inefficient
is thus deprived Of the very smallest
ground of support"

BLOUsEs OF LINEN REAPPEtR.
Different Weights and Varied Manipu-
Iatiors Characterize Some of
me Favored Garments.

Linen has cut more of a figure in
blouses this season than it has for
several seasons, reappearing in diff
ferent weights and different manipu-
lations At one big city store this
Sabric, in a medium soft weave, has
been chosen for the development of a
new series of warehouses to which
is given the name Bretalla.
The models are supposed to fill the
need for a waistcoat or gilet, but
built on ample, 1ong-waisted lines, in
stead of cleft after the manner Of a
mans belt. They come, therefore,
with sleeves and without, but with
the sleeved more in the majority.
A feature is made Of wide box
plaits, the whole blouse being con-
structed in a tailored manner, hang
ing straight from the shoulder and
finished with a three or four-inch
band. This treatment has come to be
known as a Renee idea with the band
fastened to one side of the front in
such manner that 1t lends itself to
adjustment.
There is some use of hand-drawn
work in addition to the more Sc
verely box plat fronted effects, and
it comes in several different collar
shapes, but nearly always swung high.
The color range includes orchid, blue,
rose and gre en-. The styles are also
made up in white, these introducing
color in collar bindings and pipings

A very sarcastic spinster and her
niece were passing the theater when
"The Man From Home" was being
shown not long ago. The niece stopped
a minute to look at the pictures and
the aunt sharply asked her what was

Protects Property and Health.

The committee argues that zoning
protects property and health, and in
this connection says:
Suppose you have just bought some
land in a neighborhood of homes and
built a coy little house. There are
two vacant lots south of you. II
your town is zoned, no one can put
up a large apartment house on those
lots, overshadowing your home, steal
ing your sunshine and spelling the i1-
vestment of 20 years saving. Nor is
anyone at liberty to erect a noisy,
malodorous public garage to keep you
awake nights or to drive you to sell
out for half Of what you put into yonr
hGme
eff town is zoned, property values
become more stable, mortgage COM
panies are more ready to lend money,
and more houses can be built.
"a zoning law, if enacted in time,
prevents an apartment house from be-
coming a giant, airless hive, hous-
ing human beings like crowded bees.
It provides that buildings may not be
so high and so close that men and
women must work in rooms never
freshened by sunshine or lighted from
the open sky

that the next important international
step will be taken within the next few

Primer or City zoning.
The preliminary report of Herbert
Hooyer's advisory committee on city
coming took the form of coming
primer. Answering the question,
why do we need city zoning?" the
committee says:
Some one has asked, Does your
city keep It's gas range in the parlor
and it's piano in the kitchen?' That is
what many an American city permits
It's household to do for it.
eve know what TO think of house
hold in which an undisciplined daugh-
ter makes fudge in the parlor, in
which her sister leaves soiled clothes
soaking in the bathtub, while father
throws his muddy shoes on the stairs,
and little Johnny makes beautiful mud
pies on the front steps.
"Yet many American cities do the
same sort Of thing when they allow
stores to crowd in at random among
private dwellings, and factories and
public garages to come elbowing IN
among neat retail stores or well-kept
apartment houses. Cities do no bet
ter when they allow Office buildings SO
tall and bulky and so closely crowded
that the lower floors not only become
too dark and unsatisfactory for human
use, but for that very reason fall TO
earn a fair cash return to the 1ndlYld'
ual investors.
"It is this stupid, wasteful JumDle
which zoning will prevent and gradu-
ally correct. We must remember, hoW@
ever, that while zoning is a very I'M
portant part Of city planning, it should
go hand in hand with planning streets
and providing for parks and play
grounds and other essential features
Of a well-eQuipped city. Alone, 1t IS
no universal panacea for all municipal
ills, but as part of a larger program 1t
pays the city and the citizens a quick
er return than any other form Of civic
improvement.

Separate skirts.

Colors are playing an important part
in the new separate skirts, many being
shown that are entirely in one bright
shade, such as jade or grass green,
poppy or spark red, orange or dande-
lion yellow, while equally as many
are in a bright checked or striped silk
and there seems to be a vigorous
leaning to all white as well as to the
bright shades. More linen skirts will
be worn, according to indications.

Flying Dust

According to the estimates of an ex-
pert who has studied the remarkable
phenomena Of dust and sandstorms in
the arid regions of the West. every GU
bic mile of the lower air during an or
binary "dry storm" contains at least
225 tons of dust, while in severe
storms of this kind as much as 10000
tons of dust and sand may be con-
tanned in a cubic mile Of mir. Dust
storms sometimes last 20 OF 80 hours.

New Explosive

When liquid air, containing from 40
to so per cent of oxygen, is mixed with
powdered charcoal it forms an explo-
sive which is said to be comparable in
power to dynamite, and can be ex-
ploded by means of a detonator. This
explosive has been tested in coal
mines The liquid air evaporates so
.apidly that the explosive cannot be
stored, but must be used within few
minutes after it is prepared.

WASHINGTON PACTS
RATIFIED SHORTLY
JAPAN's ACTION WILL SOON BE
FOLLOWED BY APPROVAL BY
EUROPEAN POWERS.
STATE DEPARTMENT PLEASED
Threat of War With Island Empire
Has Vanished-Further Steps for
World Peace Are Contemplated by
the Administration.
By JAMES P. HoRNADAY

Washington.-The State department
has assurances that the Washington
conference treaties are shortly to be
ratified by all the nations that par
ticipated in the conference. These as
surances heal some nervousness that
existed here.
Charles Evans Hughes, secretary of
state, who carried out President Har0.
ings plans for the Washington confer
ence, never doubted that Japan would
ratify the treaties, but it is a fact
that soon after the Japanese delega-
ton returned home disquieting reports
from Toxic reached the State depart
ment. These reports dwelt on the In
fiuence Of the military party III Japan
and reflected doubt as to whether the
two steps necessary to Japanese rat1-
f1cation-the approval of the privy
council and the signature Of the prince
regent-would ever be taken. The
change in the situation came when
Admiral Baron Kato became prime
minister and declared for the imme-
date ratification of the treaties.
According to the State department.
too much significance cannot be at
tached to the approval of the treaties
by Japan. 1t was the trying situa.
tiOn in the Far East that brought about
the Washington conference. One year
ago the world was looking at the Unit
ed States and Japan and saying that
war between these two countries with
i'm the next few years was inevitable.
1T is not going beyond the bounds of
truth to say that influential men in
public life in the United States felt
that unless the so-called Japanese
United States situation could be ironed
out, it would be extremely difficult for
the two nations to go ahead on
peace basis.

"MinOr League of Nations"

One year ago this month President
Harding and Secretary Hughes set in
motion the machinery that brought in
to- life the Washington conference
with it's worldwide results. 1t should
not be forgotten that Japan in rati-
flying the treaties cancels the treaty
between Great Britain and Japan,
known as the Anglo-Japanese alliance
In place of that treaty there appears
the treaty between the United
States, Great Britain, France and
Japan, which is known as the four
power treaty under which the security
of the insular possessions of each of
these nations in the Pacific is guar
anteed. Thus in place of an alliance
between Great Britain and Japan, an
alliance which in the estimation of the
United States was a distinct menace
TO this governments, there appears
what some persons have preferred to
call minor league of nations.
Looking back on the work of the
Washington conference the statesmen
throughout the world undoubtedly re
alize that the great accomplishment
was the establishment Of cordial re-
Iations between the United States and
Japan. Even the California land con-
troversy, which some people would
like to keep alive, has apparently been
buried for the time being at least.
The treaties will not become opera
tive until the European nations that
are parties to them ratify. but the
State department has received salts
factory assurances that ratification in
Europe will not long be delayed. Great
Britain has already approved in part
and viii finish the work in the next
few weeks, according to advices re
ceived at the State department. France
is also ready to go ahead with rati-
fication and the understanding now is
that reservations will probably not be
applied by the French to any Of the
treaties. The small European nations
have been waiting on the great pow
