WOMAN FINDS
VARIETY Of
SHE|KS
'Authoress Relates Her Expert
ences in Orient, and Our
Own West

Sheiks who ride racing horses and
wear flowing robes can be seen on
Eastern deserts, but to find the
fear.inspiring, girl-abducting va
riety: Go west, young woman, go
west" advises Alice M. Williamson,
authoress and traveller.
Thrilled by novels and moving
pictures that have painted the
sheik as a>daring lover on the hot
sands, hundreds of young women
adventures recently have flocked
to desert Egypt, Palestine, Algeria
and Tunisia,. hoping to- discover ro-
mantle men, Miss Williamson has
observed. She confesses she was
one of the thrill hunters, and re-
ports her findings in Hearst's In.
ternational-C Cosmopolitan for August.
The young authoress was taken
by a sheik, to his harem, wooed by
another on the desert and enter
tanned in the palaces of a third,
but comes to- the conclusion that
although Eastern sheiks propose
marriage, they do not impose it
as do the sheiksl Of America!
Prairies of the Western States,
Miss Williamson found, upon re-
turning to her own United States,
hold sheiks more awsome than
Egypt's. Writing of a Western
sheik. in the magazine confession,
she recalls:
"SuddenIy he and his pinto APP
peared on the horizon. / felt the
wind of his rushing approach; I
heard the wild gallop of hoofs such
as no Arab stallion shod with fire
ever made in poem or prose. Then
the lariat embraced my waist. He
was a real live sheik!'
Her capture by and escape from
a sheik in California, Miss Will
hanson also relates, and points out
other places in the United States
where she found sheiks lurking .

HOPE SEEN FOR
7 TRANSFER
PLAN
Systematic Procedure Being
Worked Out for Benefit
of Employees

That systematic procedure for
transferring Federal, employees frcm
enc department to another soon win
be worked out was predicted by per-
sonnet officials today.
The Civil Service Commission and
the Bureau Of Efficiency, as re-
Gently stated in The Washington
Times, are seeking a method by
which an empIoye, discharged from
che department. or bureau because
of lack Of appropriation or lack OF
work, may be given a preferential
status in obtaining work in another
department, so that transfers may
be made on businesslike basis.
Purpose of Plan.
It is not. proposed that depart
mental officials shall be required to
accept transferred employees when
seeking additional workers. rather
than to hire them from the roll of
eligibles, but it is believed these
officials can be brought to see that
the experienced employe, with a
reasonably good efficiency rating, Is
d USlISE AANcSLALIcHL IAIdh bAC
green" one.
A new personnel issue Of import
ance now confrof1ts the classified
ton board. It involves the right
Of the board to take jurisdiction
over the transfer OF workers from
the departmental to the field
service. The board has not acted
officially, but Guy r. Allen, chair
man, says it will not ATTEMPT to
take jurisdiction, inasmuch as there
is no authority in law for it.
The recent executive order OF
President Coolidge, giving prefer
entail rights to employees with SEN
iority ratings and dependents, was
under fire at meeting last night
of McGroarty O'Connnel Post No. z,
of the American Legion. Twenty
two ex-service men are among zoo
employees of the Public Debt Service
Of the Treasury Department who
will be dismissed in the next few
weeks. r.
Will Protest. .eFE
They believe that the preference
rights given to service men. under
the Harding executive order have
been ignored and will present their
case to the personnel boafd./~
The problem of properly housing
and safeguarding the rapidly grow
ing records OF the board. has been
taken up with the. Public Buildings
Commission; but there is little like
lihood that # WILL be removed from
it's present quarters in the Pettus
Building. Nineteenth street and
