DIPLOMATIC POSTS
NOT POLITICAL REWARDS

Washington, CA. P.)-Long strides
toward removing diplomatic posts
from rewards for political service
have been made during President
Harding's administration, according to
report issued today by the Commit
tee on Foreign Service of the national
civil servic reform league.
The report says the first year
Seems to indicate that an earnest eff
fort has been made to retain the serv-
ices Of men Of experience and to ap-
point to diplomatic posts persons with
qualifications in diplomacy
The committee reports thai five Of
the nine ambassadors appointed by
President Harding were men with
previous experience in diplomacy. Six
of the thirty ministers now serving
in the diplomatic corps, the commit
tee found, were appointed on the basis
of their experience and eight men ap-
pointed during previous administra-
tons but were retained by President
Harding
Four ambassadors, sixteen minis
tiers, two agents and counsuls ~gener

| Ons without any previous diplomatic
experience.
sWhi1e many Of the twenty three
appointments made of persons with
out previous diplomatic experience
operated as recognition of political
obligations" the reports states, ,"the
evil of such appointments is largely
abated by the present administration
and contrasts favorably with the rec
ords of the first year of other admins
tration. For this record, President
Harding and Secretary Hughes are to
be commended President Harding
is furthermore deserving of com
mendation in that he had selected for
secretary of state man of the high
est qualifications and one devoted to
the merit principle"
The committee reported a still bet
ter showing, ian unequaled record of
adherence to the merit system in
its examinations of appointments in
the consular service. There has been,
during the first fifteen months Of the
present administration, the report
states, mot a single exception to the
rules requiring appointments through
examinations n the consular SERVICE .
1t is worthy of special notice, the
report says, that the present admins
tration ito greater extent than any
other" has chose as assistants to the
secretary of state men trained in the
foreign service.

TELLS HOW EASY IT ALL IS
Series Of Pamphlets Issued by De-
partment OF Agriculture Calculated
to Reduce High Cost Of
Clothing.

| Washington.-Uncle Sam, besides
occupying himself with strikes, law
| enforcement and international agree
ments, has interested himself in WON
ans clothes.
How to have a wardrobe for $1oS
that includes dinner and evening
gowns, a smart business dress, frOcks
of wolfe and tissue, bingham for sum-
mer wear and a broadcloth coat for
winter winds, is explained in series
Of pamphlets issued by the Department
of Agriculture, as an aid in reducing
the high cost Of clothing. One Of
these pamphlets declares that the bust
ness girl with a reasonable amount of
zeal and talent, can use part of her
spare time to such effect that her
clothing bill is cut in half.
First she must send to the Depart
ment of Agriculture for the circulars
issued by the department. One Of
these pamphlets explains how to make
dress form by pasting layers of
gummed bundle wrapping paper over
a tightly fitting vest on herself as
a model When the paper casing is
cut off and fastened together she has
a Eight, stiff and perfect reproduction
of her FORM" This eliminated the pur-
chase of store figure.
Employee Used Form.
The girl with the sos wardrobe,
government employee, used such
form.
She made for $24.61 coat of tan
as she saw priced at $50 in shops.
A blue wolfe dress with slip, cost,
including trimming, $1109 tissue
bingham dress with organdie and hem
stitching for trimming, cost $6.33;
with scraps and remnant she made
another Bingham dress for exactly IS
cents
For SIC she bought materials to
make pussy willow taffeta and georg-
cite crepe dress for social occasions,
which she said. she could not dupli-
cate at store for less than $35 Her
business dress of serge and. crepe de
chine would have been priced at $40
or more if she had purchased dress
of the same quality of material al
ready made. Her evening dress OF
taffeta and silver lace cost $21, al
though it was modelled after one seen
in shop priced several times higher.
Attended Many Affairs.
This wardrobe, supplemented by
two dresses for which materials were
purchased, brought the total up to
$1O8.34.
"This wardrobe, while not elaborate
enabled me to attend many affairs
which, had I not sewed myself, would
have been unable to attend because OF
lack of a proper gown. Without the
dress form I could not have done 1t
in the time at my disposal. made
ten such forms for my friends, too"
