The Devils Tower.

The Devils Tower is a huge mass of
volcanic rock in the eastern part of
Wyoming, near Moorcraft. It rises
1,200 feet above the plain and is Wis
ible for a hundred miles in that cloud
less region. II was used as a guiding
mark by the aborigines of the plains
and mountains. Pathfirders of the
French colonies in Canada used ii as
a landmark and later military expedi-
tions in the Sioux and Grow Indian
country during the Indian wars direct
ed their march by it. So great was
the popular interest in the Devils
Tower that the United States govern
ment, in 1906. pronounced it national
monument and placed it under the di
srection of the national park service.

SOME CIVIL SERVICE FACTS

The law establishing the United
States Civil Service Commission was
enacted January 16, 1888.
In 1888, approximately 100000 per
sons were employed in the executive
civil service of the United States. The
number of such employees on Deem
Der 81. 1923, was 54S,5O6. The great
est number employed at one time was
OF, 100, on November IL. 1918. the
date of the armistice.
In 1883. 1924 positions were classi
fled under the civil service law. and
therefore. subject to competitive ex-
animation The number of such posi-,
tions on December 81. 1928, was ap-
proximately 100000.
In the forty-one years of its life, the
Commission has given competitive ex-
aminations to 4,713,S05 applicants, l.
412,007 of whom have been appointed.
The Commission is represented in
approximately 1000 cities and villages
of the United States by local boards
of examiners having total member
ship of more than 10000.
Local board members are attached
to other branches of the service and
give a part of their time to the work
of the Civil Service Commission, for
which they receive no additional com
pensation.
The Commission gives examinations
for more than a thousand different
kinds of occupations, ranging from or
binary unskilled laborers to the high
est grades of technical, scientific, and
administrative positions.
The members of the present Civil
Service Commission are William G.
Deming, president, George R. Wales,
and Helen H. Gardener.
Mrs. Gardener is the only woman
who ever held the office of United
States Civil Service Commissioner.
Theodore Roosevelt was member
of the Civil Service Commission from
May 10, 1889, to May S, 1895.
The fundamental principle of the
civil service law is to maintain in the
parts of the service covered by its
provisions merit system whereby
selection for appointment shall be
made upon the basis of demonstrated
relative fitness, without regard to pol
-itical, religious, or other similar con
siderations.

THE IDEAL FIGURE


The ideal figure to-day is the fig
ure that suggests extreme youth by
it's slender, immature, undeveloped
lines. 1t is decidedly healthy fash
ion, for to have and to hold it women
must curb their appetites and take to
exercise. They must also corset them
selves to keep from growing heavier
and to straighten out the curves, and
do it SO skilfully that they preserve
the supple, fluent lines of the uncor-
seted figure.
The general rule recognized by cor
setieres to-day is to wear as slight
and ephemeral a corset as one can
but not to go beyond the point where
to tighten the corset will enlarge the
figure. Very slight and youthful fig
ures can do with a corset that is lit
tel more than girdle, almost unbon-
ed, a brief length of satin or brocade.
Pound for pound as the figure devel-
opes the corset lengthens-below the
waistline- and sufficient bones are
added to keep it straight. February

Fox Trot's Name From Horse.

The fox trOt which has apparently
come to stay in dancing, takes its
name from the similarity of its move
ments to the peculiar step of the
American trotting horse when it is
making fast time, and not to the re.
semblance to a fox's movements. The
popularity of the fox trot is found in
its rhythm. of course, and this is one
of the characteristics of a trotting
horse when he is making good time
though when a trorer is just jogging
along there isn't SO much rhythm III

They likewise should be done up

LONDON. November 7.-English as

guage, according to Daniel Jones.
professor of phonstics at the Uni
versity OF London. In the faraway
future generation. Scotchmen will
talk like Englishmen, while the gen.
eral tongue of the highly culture
people will be "super-cockney with
little Scotch accent"
Professor Jones idea Is that the
language of today was cockney to
Shakespeare. and that the speech of
southern England now is getting
nearer to the cockney. In some places
the cockney has already the upper
hand and there Is a decided trend in
others to adopt the accent in words
which contain the letter "a" The
wide difference in the dialect Of the
English provinces accelerates this
tendency, the professor says. as the
various dialects weaken the common
language and destroy its roots after
a few years.
Within 500 years, Professor Jones
predicts the Gaelic language will
have nearly disappeared and the ma
tive Irish (Erse) will be heard no
more. OF this group Of languages
only Welsh will remain.
The best example the lecturer
knows of the English of the future
is to take the word cart and pro-
nounce 1t "car-r-r-t."

The next qualification. almost as
important as the first. Is that the set

TX more than one station is heard at

The next desirable characteristic
Is simplicity of control. A set hav-
ing a large number of controls or
one which requires a Jimmy valen-
tine to finger the dials is next to
useless if the set is required to af-
ford a means of musical entertain
ment and not to serve as a combina-

variety.
A set having more than two ma
jor controls is not in the desirable
class from q standpoint of SIM
plicity OF controls and Is not in the

fication.
Last but not least, a set must be
