NEGLECTED SERVICES

INSUFFICIENT pay and ineffective or
L sanization have long been blemshes upon
the American diplomatic and consular serv-
ices, where accomplishment has resulted
more often from personal initiative and
ability than from constructive energies by
the Government.
An attempt to repair some OF the most
Aagrant deficiencies has been made in the
Rogers BILL now pending, which aims at n
more Intelligent coordination Of the politi.
cal and economic branches Of the foreign
service, at rectifying inequalities in pay and
4 reconstruction of machinery enabling
young men of ability to enter, without too
much sacrifice. diplomatic or consular fields.
Secretary Hughes is heartily back of the
movement for reform which Is taking par
ticular shape outside Congress in the activi
ties Of the Chamber OF Commerce of the
United States. The president Of this or =
sanisation. Julius II. Barnes, has been in
Sympathetic correspondence with Mr..
Hughes on tho subject of the Rogers meas.
ure, which, although yet in need OF rsvi-
sion In certain details. represents in the
main an earnest effort to better outworn
con6itions.
NJ. Barnes has NO hesitation In declarins
that the consular and diplomatic services,
stir largely upon pre-war basis, "are no
longer adequate for meeting the pressing re :
qulrsments for representation Of the United
states Government. Compensation and
keoopects insufficient to secure and hold

ln1RECrOR CORTELYOU frankly admits
- that the hold-up of traffic on North
Broad street and the intersect!ng streets for
nearly an hour yesterday morning was due
to a misunderstanding.
1t was planned to test some new fire
engines on n measured course on Broad
street, but the test was postponed without
countermanding the orders to the police to
keep the way clear. Business men with I'm.
portant engagements downtown finally ig-
nored the orders Of the police and drove
their cars through the imaginary barriers.
The blunder is objectionable. The un.
avoidable delays occas!oned by the pressure
Of traffic on Broad street when the resi-
dents Of the northern suburbs and the
northern districts Of the city are coming to
business are bad enough without piling on
top of them hold-up such as that OF yes

The hotel clerk said:

the Massachusetts, Society of Chiropodists,
at its last annual convention. denounced
jazz as causing warts on the feet"
As a scientist there was nothing for the
writer to do but find out about jazz on
his own hook
Hence it was that nightfall found him
in what is commonly called a palace of
jazz. The partitions separating three ex-
saloons had been torn down, and then
joined with the respective back rooms, or
family entrances. until the ensemble pre-
scented quite a stable palace for jazz
The whole was hung with heavy silk
Arabian drap-ries, in blue and yellow
stripes a foot and a half wide The lights
were dimmed in order to confuse Federal
agents. The walters were dressed as
sheiks. presumably also to confuse the
agents. The entire effect was as immoral
as plate Of pork and beans.
Then little Jessica came along. Before
leaving for Labrador your correspondent
had known Jessica as a little girl who had
handled him on her toes when they were
partners at dancing class.
1t might be remarked here (and he
whole situation may take from the remark
tinge of humor that is perhaps excus-
able and even desirable in serious trea-
tise like this) that your correspondent
cannot dance. In fact. IL he may say so.
he has been decorated by His Majesty the
King of Siam with the Order of the Sea-
man. Third Glass. because he Is the only
man in the world who cannot dance and
does not harbor the delusion that he can.
Jessica seemed glad to see your COR
respondent. She is sufficiently comely.
1t was noticeable that she wore TIE con-
ventional bobbed hair. the conventional
knee length skirt which your correspondent
now understands is doomed, and smoked
the conventional flag
Anything on your hip?" she inquired
brusquely.
Your correspondent examined his hip
NO" he replied WAS there anything
there?"
Jessica laughed. She howled.
'How's the old cakeater, anyway" she
asked
II should love piece" your correspon-
dent retorted. Cake was not over plentiful
in Labrador
Lets shake leg" suggested Jessica
Girls used to call leg a limb, but Jessica
was always one to call a spade a shovel

unplayfully.
