MEN AND WOMEN LIBRARIANS
 ON SICK LEAVE ABOUT SAME

CHICAGO, Jan. 7. E)--The be- lief that women engaged in public or industrial work are absent from duty because of illness to a much greater extent htang men is not en- tirely true so far as workers in pub lie libraries are concerned.
 A questionable conducted by the Bureau of Public Personnel Adminis- tration in cooperation with the Am- erican Library Association, shows that in sixteen public libraries in the United States there was Ittle diff .ference in the number of days wo- men were on sick leave with pay and those of men library workers.

Robby slapped one to the infeld and the fielder who scooped up the ball chose to make the play at first base. To the amazement of the fans, and the frenzy of the coaches, who were yelling their lungs out, not one of the base-runners moved; forgetting, temporarily that they were automatic cally forced to advance on the hit Lien, playing first base for the Mer- chants at the time, after completing the put out on Rob;son, tagged Dyer for the second out and then shot the ball across to third, to which base Roberts had become unexplain- ably frozen, and the ball was put on Doc for the third out A grand Nile Park rally was thereby cast to the winds. It was the first tripple play seen here, and, it is hoped, will be the last one of it's kind to be worked on Seward ball players.

MUCH BUILDING
DUE HERE
By RICHARD HATTON

The building situation in any
community may safely be taken as
an Indication of the general
economic condition. In the meas
ure of its prospective new con-
struction Washington is in line
with the rest of the country and
ii is noted by the Federal Reserve
Bulletin that there is a resistance
to speculative influences in prices
of building materials. indicative OF
extraordinary elasticity in the pro-
ductive power OF the building
material industries.
There is available at the present
in the financial institutions and the
building associations of Washington
ample funds for any legitimate
building enterprise and there is a
very distinct belief that the present
year with be one in which ample
advantage will be taken of this
capital and that construction opera
tions here in 1926 will surpass
those of last year.
The wartime shortage of buildings
has been eliminated, but Washing
ton continues to grow month by
month and, as the population In
creases. so the demand for homes
and for new business locations In
creases. There can be found no
where cause for belief that the
city has reached its maximum popU-
lation or that there will be any DO
crease registered this year in the
normal rate of growth which has
prevailed in all recent years.
Business conditions, that is gen
erai retail business, cannot but he
subject to the same influences
which effect the trend of building.
The same demand that results in
increased building activity results
in increased commodity sales of all
classes. 1t is safe to measure almost
any business prospect by the build
ing program in any given COM
munity.
Adopting this scale, therefore. ard
reviewing the building record OF
1926 with a knowledge that the
same, or a better, record will be
made in 1926. it is obvious that, in
spite of certain seasonal periods Of
depression, the. present year can
be counted upon to be, in the aggle-
gate a good business year.

Army Studies Data
On Value of Women
In Wartime Work
BY the Associated Press,


The Army is looking around to
ascertain the possible uses for
women in war time to release men
from cooking, laundering and
host of clerical positions, but the
Navy, which mothered the idea, Is
barred from considering women as
a factor in it's war plans, except
as nurses. because the Naval Re
serve act limits Navy personnel to
males. The Navy is furnishing
the Army with data on the value
of women in war time, gathered
through it's own experience in the
World War, when 1880 women
wore the Navy uniform as "yeo-
manettes" and reserve nurses. and
the Marine Corps had 269 Marin
cites" doing clerical work.
The last member of the Women's
Marine Corps Reserve, Corpl May
Garner Of New York, retires this
Fall and orders are there can be
no more women in the Marines.
The only women left in the naval
establishment are ATS members of
the Navy Nurse Corps.
