ing through organization.

trained men on its tank wagons; at its service
stations, as well as in its retlnerles and labora-
tories.

capacity. It realizes that, in its points OF
contact with the public, this intelligence IN

Life Sentence For Killing
In San Francisco.

San Enthusiastically Ellingson.
sixteen-year-old matricide, is to be
tried by the criminal and not the
Juvenile courts, it was decided by Su-
perior Judge Frank Murasky, Juvenile
Court judge, when the girl was
brought before him for arraignment.
Judge Murasky said that the case
was SO grave in its nature that it
was not one that could be tired in
his jurisdiction.
The judge announced that he would
sit later as committing magistrate,
so the case could be legally trans
ferred to the criminal dockets.
The girl shot and killed her mother,
according to her admission, because Of
a material prohibition against a
"jazz" party which she expected to at
tend.
In a criminal trial she would face
an indeterminate term in prison, with
life as the maximum sentence.

DENY ANDERsoN's PLEA
Former Anti-saloon League superin-
tendent's Request Refused.

Ossining, N. Y.-The State Board
Of Parole, meeting at Sing Sing Prison,
refused to grant William H. Anderson,
former superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of New York State, the
discharge from parole which he re-
quested recently.
1.-THE application is denied" said
George Denham, of Auburn, chairman
of the board, ION the ground that 1t is
against the policy of the board to dis
charge prisoners from parole at time
less than one year unless the maxi
mum sentence expires before such
date"
Anderson was sentenced to Sing
Sing for one to two years for forged
entries on the leagues book. His re-
lease last December was Is months
prior to the expiration of the maxi
mum sentence and he therefore was
ordered under parole.

Women Ahead OF Men.

a
Women made a better showing than
men in employment examinations con.
Quoted by the State during 1924. Only
20 per cent of the women taking the
examinations failed to pass. while the
failures among the male applicants for
positions were AZ per cent. of the total
number.
But Oliver C. Short, State Employ.
ment Commissioner, whose report to
Governor Richie revealed the per.
centage figures, came to the defense
of the men.
while cold figures show that the
percentage of failures was twice as
great among men as among women,
there is really no appreciable differ
ence in intelligence" Mr.. Short de-
clared.
"The difference is cnly apparent and
not actual" he sail. 1T depends
chiefly upon the nat''re of the tests
While practically the same number of
men and women sc"sht State posi-
tions. occupations opn to men were
more varied than those open to
women.
"Stenographers, for instance. receive
definite training along certain lines,
and applicants usually are proficient
But the male occura tons are seldom
so definite in scope. and special train
ing is seldom poss BILE. Since male
occupations usually require more gen
eral knowledge. there is more chance
Of failure in such examinations"
