The obvious solution of the govern ment's employment problem is the standardization and readjustment Of salaries. To be scientific. such re- adjustment must rest upon a careful reclassifieation of the service. Con aitions are very different now, both in regard to the functions of offices and the cost of living, from what they were when positions in the govern ment service were first classified and salaries assigned to those positions
 It struck me that an interested party in this inquiry into how the govern ment conducts its business was the employee himself. He ought to know from actual daily experience some thing about the mechanism of the national business and the relations be- tween the working force and employer.
 IL was clearly impossible to talk to the more than 0o,000 men and women who work for the government, but learned that between 50,OO0 and O. GOO of them are banded together in an association called the National Fedora ton of Federal Employees. It Is a regular labor union, and is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. It includes all classes of gov ernment workers, technical and scientific men, as well as clerks and unskilled workers.
 asked the president of this em- ployees union. Luther c. Steward, If he and his associates were authorized to speak for all its membership. He assured me that they were.
 So asked him to tell me about the conditions of government employment and how the business was carried on.
 am glad I did. for what he told me discloses not only facts. but state of mind existing among the em- ployees which necessarily must be taken into account in any considera- ton of the efficiency and management of our common business. Here then is what the employees, who speak through MT. Steward. have to say. and the constructive program they present Cor the improvement of the service:
 The civil service on its human side consists of about 500.000 men and women engaged in the operation of an anticipated patched-up machine. Be .ause of the durability of its vital parts and the faith and ability of the mass of the operatives the machine ,till functions. But the parts are Il-fitted. and many of them are de

 endents of the establishment, being

 The oily cloths used in polishing floors and furniture, especially If moistened with linseed oil, are serf- ous fire hazard unless kept in coy- cred fireproof container. A tin or gal vanlzed-iron can with close-fitting lid is good for this purpose.
 Tools last longer and work better if put back in the closet clean and ready for use the next time.
 Care of Various Kinds of Mops.
 Once week, or oftener If necessary, the box of the carpet sweeper should be opened over dampened newspaper, the dirt emptied out; and hair and lint cleaned from the brushes with a buttonhook, coarse comb, or old scls- sors. The mechanism should be kept properly oiled. A vacuum cleaner should be looked after in the same Ndys tACtpt Lidl III tAC bo6 should be emptied.
 Dry or oiled mops should be well shaken each time after use, and occa- sionally should be washed in hot soap studs, rinsed in clear hot water. and dried as quickly as possible. Oiled mops may be renewed by pouring on a few drops of kerosene or floor oil and leaving them stand until the oil spreads through the strings. If too much oil is used, the floors will be darkened, and a surplus of oil will be left on the surface.
 Dust cloths should be washed fire quently. because a little dirt comes out more easily and because dirty cloths often leave as much dust as they take up and may scratch highly polished surfaces. The oil in "dustless" cloths may be restored by adding to the rinse water a little kerosene or floor oil (about one tablespoonful to a quart of water), or by pouring few drops of oil on the dry duster, rolling 1t tight, and letting 1t stand until the oil spreads evenly.
 House cleaning often seems a hard task and 1t pays to plan the work carefully and to keep the home clean rather than labor to make 1t clean.

FROM COLDFRAME
 ID YOUR GARDEN
Plants Should Be Accustomed to the Outside Conditions
 Before Setting.
PROTECTION MAY BE NEEDED
Boxes or Small Boards Will Save From Sun, Wind and Frost-Wster Be- fore TranspIanting-carry Con-
 tainers to Place for Planting.

It is assumed that the wlde-awake gardener has been busy long before the weather is warm enough to SOW any seeds in the open ground that window box or hotbed has been pro yided. and that a supply of plants of tomatoes. peppers. early cabbage. and eggplant are under way to set in the garden as soon as danger of frost is past
 If plenty of south window space Is available, the United States Depart ment Of Agriculture advises that such crops as snap beans cucumbers, musk melons, and even sweet corn may be started in flower pots, paper bands or berry boxes filled with good soil, and they will be Of considerable size by the time the air is warm enough to plant them outdoors. Plants that grow in the house or in the hotbed must be hardened or adapted to outdoor conditions before they are set in the open ground This Is accomplished by gradually exposing them to the open air during the warmer part Of the day and later at night, care being taken that they are not caught by sudden cold snap.
 Hardening Early Plants.
 When the plants are grown ir boxes or trays. the boxes may be carried into the open each day and the plants ai- lowed to become gradually accustomed to the outdoor conditions If they are in a hotbed or coldframe, the sash or other cover Is lifted off during tue day and replaced at night Later the GOV ering Is left off entirely; however II should be kept close al hand to be put on lit any time that the weather should turn cold
 Plants set in the open ground may be protected from frost by turning small boxes over them and covering the boxes with a little earth. o'u berry boxes are sometimes used TOT this purpose. but should be coVereu completely with soil. as the plants VIII freeze just as readily underneath 'ne exposed boxes as If left In the open without any cover whatever. so"u method Of protecting plants Is by set- ting common roofing shingle or small piece of board at an angie over each plant. These shingles can pe set on the side to protect the plants rom the SUR during the daytime, or they may be placed on the opposite sioe LII order to protect the plants from me wind and allow the sunshine {" reech them.
 In some cases gardeners have pro vided small frames. on the top oi which are fitted single panes or glass md one of these frames is set over each plant or hill to protect it. The glass should be so arranged that

can be partially removed during the warmer part of the day in order to prevent the temperature becoming too high inside the frame. These protec- tors give good results when used over hills of eucumbers. muskmelons and summer squashes, as we'll as over plants of sweet pepper, eggplant and tomatoes.
 Points to Remember.
 There are q few points in connection with the transplanting Of house grown plants to the garden that are worthy of special attention. In the first place, the plants to be transpianted should be watered q few hours before they are to be handled; this will cause the dirt to adhere to the roots and give them q better start when they are planted out. If the plants are grown in flower pots, in paper bands, or berry boxes, they should be carried to the garden in their containers. Pot grown plants should be loosened by inverting them gently and knocking the edge of the pot on something solid. The plants then are set with the ball of earth adher,ng to their roots.
 If the plants have been grown in pa per bands or berry boxes, the sides of the bands or boxes should be slit with a knife and removed as the plants are set. Where the plants are grown in trays or in q hotbed. knife should be run between the rows, cutting the earth in both directions, and each plant lifted with cube of earth at tached to its roots.
 Use Fresh Burrows.
 The holes or furrows in which the nlants are set should not be made un- iii ready to transplant the plants. If made too soon. the soil will dry cut and cause the plants to wilt Under all circumstances, il pays to apply a little water around the roots of each plant as it Is set this causes the soil to form a close contact with the roots of the plant. After the water has soaked into the soil. dry earth should be filled in around the plant and slightly firmed. Plants set In thls manner will Invariably start without 
 IL is always a good idea to have a few more plants than are required for filling the space in the garden, in or der to replace any that dle or are de- stroyed by insects.

PLANTS REQUIRE MOISTURE

Plants take in moisture through their small feeding root lets and discharge it.throueh the surface of their leaves. As a re. suit of the breaking of the roots in transplauting, the supply Of moisture Is eus eff and the plants wilt. To prevent the willing of the leaves. says the United States Department Of Agricul. tnre, water should be poured around the roots before the dirt Is filled In; also the tops of the plants should be shaded and pro tected from the wind for day or two to reduce the evaporation from the leaves.

NEW STYLE VAMP
IS INTELLECTUAL
A Fool There Was Heroine
Leaves Old Methods Behind
in Capturing Her Love.

"A Fool There Was and He Made
His Prayer" but neither the prayer
nor the fool nor the vamp would
recognize one another if they saw
themselves today on the screen.
They've all changed completely; and
you who remember "Vamps" of past
years will have a hard time finding
any resemblance in the vamp of the
present.
The story of "a Fool There Was"
which probably was the original
''vamp" story, has been made into
a big production by William Fox.
Porter Emerson Browne wrote the
stage play which was inspired by
Rudyard Kiplings poem, THE YAM
pire." In this production the vampire
is played by Estelle Taylor, the fool
by Lewis Stone and the wife by Irene
Rich. There we have the inevitable
triangle which will be the attraction
at the Apollo Theater starting Nov.
