Their applications are not treated
perfunctorily. The staff actually goes
out and hunts jobs for them. Pro-
digious efforts are made in behalf of

Miss Chittenden finds that per-
son past middle age, regardless OF his
cr her background, qualifications and
experience, is "very hard to place.
Many of these come, of course. 1t
often appears that the job-seeker had
stepped out of satisfactory job to
devote his time to invalid members Of
the family. When the need had
passed, it was difficult to rejoin the
procession. Miss Chittenden pointed
to one such man who had made and
lost three fortunes and who had been
associated with the most prominent
financiers, but who was now finding
difficulty in gaining even another

Miss Catherine Beagin, secretary

LETTER SKI
By RODNEY BUTCHER, NEA Service writer

WASHINGTON is at least
one government bureau in Washing
ton which manages to be efficient and
human at the same time.
No doubt there are several, but one
may point with certainty to the local
office of the U. S. employment SER
vice on Pennsylvania avenue
Strangely or naturally enough, as
you wish, this agency is managed by
a woman, Miss Cecil R. Chittenden,

Last year, without charge, these

who needed work. There are other
federal employment offices over the
country and many private agencies,

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
FISHING IS FISHING

Let Borah roar; let Jim Reed spout
Let angles castigate
The man who seeks to catch a trout
And uses worms for bait.
In mountain brook that eddies past,
On calm and placid lake
To get trout one has to cast
A lure a trout will take
1t may be sport to spread before
fish's listless eye,
From drifcing boat or weedy shore
A bright and gorgeous tly
But to arouse his appetite
And watch the long line run
When he swilns from the depths to
bite,
Is quite a lot OF fun.
1 know that fishermen advance
The antiquated claim
That every trout should have a
chance
To beat the angling game
But when he squirms his final squ1rm
When his bright eyes grow dim
If he was killed by fly or worm
Is all the same to him.
| And 1 contend that Jim or Bill
Beyond a shade OF doubt,
On finding flies would not 1nst1ll
Ambition in a trout
The fish that scorned the dangling
fly
Would covetously scan,
Haul in their lines and sternly cry:
Here, guide; pass me that can!"

FEZ. Morocco, November 19.-Sidi
Mulai Hamada, the newly elected II.
year-old Sultan of Morocco is entitled
10 four wives under Mohammedan
law. but so far he has only one.
He and his two elder brothers were
married in a triple ceremony 13
months ago today. Young Hamada
took as his bride n first cousin, a
daughter of his fathers brother, Mu-
lai Jahar.
Most of the youths education has
been impaired by French tutors, and
it is said in Morocco that he is so
in1oued with the European idea of
monogamy that he may be satisfied
with one wife. However, the ancient
trappings of the royal harem will sur
round him. From the Sultans Office
in the palace he will occupy four
doors open leading in as many direc-
tions to apartments, each of which
traditionally is reserved for one Of the
four wives officially permitted the
rulers.

The department estimates that APP
proXimately S9.000.000 will be dis
bursed to provide additional service to
handle the big increase in mail matter
deposited in tribute to the spirit of
ST. Nicholas.
Letters to Santa Claus already have
been received in some cities. Where
circumstances warrant, these letters
are referred to charitable orGaniZa-
tions. and if there seems to be any
likelihood that Santa may overlook
the writer's. these organizations take
steps to call them to his attention.
Teaching the Public.
For some years the, department has
conducted an educational campaign to
get the public to mail Christmas pack
ages early. The campaign here has
borne fruit in many sections, and the
rush is being distributed over Il longer
period of time. but Santa's business
still is an extremely expensive busi-
