SALARY INCREASE

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-After a
ca eful survey or the entire labor
situation extending from office boy
to president, indications are that
positions showing Increases in SAL

of our largest industries, the writ

success of a certain young man who
had become general manager, and
who a few years ago was but office
boy; his answer was, Brown start
ed ac office boy, the lowest salaried
position in our office, he was am
bilious and managed to purchase a
typewriter on small monthly pay
ments and after three weeks of
practice at home he was promoted
to bill clerk, which position gave
him knowledge of the selling price
of all merchandise. His next ad-
vance was that of typist, which
taught him the numerous forms of
letter-writing and enabled him to
hold a stenographic position, CIV
ing him complete knowledge of let
ter-writing. He was then made sec
rotary, bringing him into contact
with all business details and quail
fled him for the general managers

The same opportunity awaits ev-
cry young man and woman. Educa-
ton or age have nothing to do with
operating so simple a machine as
the type writer. We are informed
that a great piece of benevolent
work is being carried on by a large
Chicago mail order house in fur
nishing typewriters to people wor-

monthly installments, 50 low as to

Interested What sort of an expert

But if Mr.. Hedge was aware of
the interest he did not at that time
crafty curiosity. Instead, he branch
ed off into things that were quite If
relevant, things that ordinary folks
talk about. He was a rather good
talker, yet he did not do all the
talking. He managed to lead the Bro
okes into it, and presently they found
themselves conversing with this
strange person as though he were
actually a familiar member of the
household.
Dinner was proceeding with aston
ishing ease. Billy had thawed to the
point where he took up his favorite
amusement CT teasing his sisters.
by the way Connie" he asked,
have you dads letter there?"
She produced the letter, and her
brother read it with solemn face.
Down here it says, Treat him as
you would me-" quoted Billy.
There was a look of quiet amuse-
ment on Hedges face.
"Well, why don't you, Connie?'
demanded her brother.
Il don't quite understand" she
stammered.
There was flush on her cheeks,
partly anger, partly confusion. Some
thing was coming, she knew; she
could have annihilated her brother.
Don't understand" echoed the
demon. well, you know how you
always treated father when he sat
down at the table"
Constance was blushing furious
ly. Of course she knew 1t was her
invariable custom to kiss John w.
Brooke on top of his expansive bald
head She blushed at the memory of
this, and she blushed anew at the
memory of her salutation to Hedge,
back in the library, when, before she
had glanced up from her magazine,
she thought he was her father.
For an instance she contemplated
flight. She dared not look across the
table, where sat the person who was
to be treated according to the in
junction of her father. Alice sup
pressed a giggle; Billy was grinning.
If Hedge was laughing, she would
die.
But Hedge was not laughing. He
did not appear to be conscious of the
dire confusion of Constance. Inst
cad. he was regarding the butler
with cold glare.
Come hereg' he commanded, rails
ing an imperative finger.
The butler approached
Your names Horace, isn't it?''
"Why-yes, sir"
"Then listen, Horace. I've been
watching you. Do you realize that
you waste from thirty-five to forty
per cent of energy every time you

walk from that door to the tablet"
The voice of Hedge was rasping.
Horace's lower jaw sagged slowly.
I'm the first place" continued
Hedge, emphasizing his remarks
with incisive gesture, "you take
longer route than is necessary. Take
a direct route-so-and you save
three steps. Lengthen your stride
and you Save two additional steps.
Let me see you step out. There! You
see it can be done. There are two
equally short routes by which the
table may be approached. Alternate
them. 1t saves the rugs. Walk faster.
1t saves time. And turn down those
lights along the wall. They're I'M
necessary and it will save electricity.
After this evening, put only one log
on the fire. 1t saves wood. That will
do"
If the butler was frozen into an
image of blank amazement, the same
was equally true of the Brookes.
They sat riged in their chairs, staring
at H. Hedge. Vanished was the
agonizing confusion of Constance
vanished the diabolical glee of her
brother and sister. No emotion
touched them save that of superla-
| tive establishment.
1t remained for Billy to recover
speech.
"What-what the blazes do you

call that!" he demanded.
That" said Hedge, quietly, lis
kindergarten less in efficiency"
You mean that you are going to

Young man, you are beginning to
get the frame work of an idea"
There was a instance of silence
in the dining-room, while Hedge pla-
cidly stirred his coffee. His amazing
outbreak over the inefficiency of
Horace subsidized as rapidly at it
arose. He had relapsed into a salts
fled calm.
Are we to understand" began
Constance, coldly, that our father

Never saw him! Yet you mean to

He made full arrangements with

Horace glanced at Constance and

presently disappeared from the room

Constance bit her lips.

VIRGIN ISLANDS PEOPLE
PLEAD FOR CITIZENSHIP

Justify Grant.
Br the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 2O.-A plea
for extension of American citizenship

former Danish West Indies, acquired
by the United States, is contained in
resolutions adopted by the Repub-
liCan Club of st. Thomas and st
John January 10 and forwarded to
this country by mail received yes
terday
The resolutions indorse the recon-
mendations made by the Department
of Labor commission. which last year
investigated conditions on the islands.
but emphasized the contention for
citizenship for the islands
We have renounced Danish citizen
ship, the resolution said, and
therefore should receive American
citizenship in its stead. Protection is
not enough; protection alone may be
sufficient for serfdom, but not for a
dignitied and free people"
The signerS asserted that thev
wanted to have "a recognized and
dignified standing in the American
family" although they were not
aspiring TO statehood
Furthermore, we deserve Amer
lean citizenship" the resolutions con-
tinued. I'VE are loyal to the United
States and our institutions have been
nodded more after America and the
Americans than after Denmark and
the Danes. 1t is evident that in ced-
ing these islands to the United States

making power could do so, the extern

CITIZEN ADVISORY
BODY CONSIDERED
Bell Says Organization to
Confer on D. C. Affairs
Might Be of Help.

| Advisability of creating a perma-
nent advisory committee of citizens
| to acquaint the Comm ssioners with
the views of the people of the Dis
| triet, both on annual appropriations
| and local legislation, is being con-
sdered by Engineer Commissioner
Bell.
1t was suggested that such an ad
visory committee might be made up
of spokesmen from the Board of
Trade. the Chamber of Commerce.
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, the Federation of Citi-'
zeus Associations and other repre-
sentative bodies
Bell Is Undecided.
Col. Bell has reached no conclu
sions, but he said today he had been
turning the question over in his mind
and believes it is worthy of consid-
Grafton.
If Congress should decide to ad
here to the lump-sum method Of APP
propriating for the District, I be
tieve the people of the District should
have more to say about the question
of how much money is to be asked
for, since ii would be largely their
money" said Col. Bell.
But, aside from whether the ratio
Of expense is to be 60-40 or on
lump sum basis. it might still be a
good thing to have some sort of ad-
vi3ory organization to meet with the
commissioners on questions of gen
eral policy
Col. Bell said it is not his idea that
such a committee should 90. into the
detailed needs of the various de-
partments. but that they should pre-
sent the views of the people on the
broader questions of how large
budget should be requested, how high
the tax rate should go and similar
matters.
Such council, the Engineer Com
missioner pointed out, might be able
to bring about unity of action on the
part of the people on legislative bills
in Congress affecting the District, in
stead of having individual groups go
to Congress in support of different
propositions.
The Commissioner did not indicate
how soon he would decide whether to
organize suGh a committee, or just
what the form of organization
should be.

Definite Rupture With Vati-

'Ss ssss gl2NOS AIRES, January 20.-A
9SA6lte rupture is imminent between
Argentine government and the
s9eiy See, according to La Nacion, in
se1nsequence of the Argentine govern
fs14ent's notification to the Vatican that
sa4lie Papal UunCio, Mgr. Giovanni
Reda Cardinale. and his secretary are
s44ersona non grata.
See eemingly in reprisal for the re-
fnsal of Cardinal Gasparri to give the
government reasons for the Holy
ssSee's objections to the nomination by
s1he government of Mgr. de Andrea as
Arch hbishop of Buenos Aires, it is said
the government will refuse to give
the Vatican reasons for pronouncing
Mgr. Cardinale an undesirable repre-
sentative.
1t is not believed that under these
circumstances, the Vatican will ap-
point a new nuncio. 1t is understood
that Mgr. Cardinale will retire from
Argentina within two weeks, but, ac-
cording TO La Nacion's informants
should the Vatican undertake to
maintain the present nunclo here, 1t
Nigh result in the government being
obliged 20 adopt extreme measures.
Nature of Objections.
The objections are said to be based
on alleged misinformation trans
mitted by Mgr. Cardinale to the
Vatican and to the Argentine gov
ernment in the matter of De Andrea
and the undiplomatic activities in
opposition to the latter.
The news that Mgr. Cardinale had
been declared persona non grata by
the government first came from
Rome, and was somewhat of a sur
prise, inasmuch as less than a week
ago ii had been announced that the
government accepted Mgr. de
Andrea's long-tendered resignation
of his government nomination as
arch bishop. The announcement was
also a surprise, which it was thought,
signified a concession by the gov
ernment to the Vatican. But 1t now
appears that the government took
this method of ending the con-
troyerSy.
