Civil Service Registers For
Washington People

There is perfectly feasible and square plan that can be
put into use supplying egbles for District government
vacancies from the Civil Service Commission.
It is incomprehensbe that District Commissioners
should agree to the filling local positions from the regular
eligible lists Of the civil service containing as mighty
few District people.
Under the arrangement that yet be worked out the
Commissioners should request the Civil Service Commission to
hold examinations for District applicants only for the purpose
of filling District government vacancies
That plan will not put outsiders from all parts OF the
United States jobs that belong in all fairness to bona
fide residents of Washington.
Under the present system for filling vacancies in the oca
Police and Departments preference given to local men

examinations There should be special examinations Tor civil
service positions the municipal and they snoud
rets the same results would not be Objectionable.
It is pleasing that the Commissioners announce that they
will not agree to sacrifice Washington people

Sharp Criticism for
Certain District Official

Editor Times:
An observer writing In The
Times tonight suggests charity
should be prActiced in the Dis
trict Building. I know a lot
of fine men who would have
been very glad to have gotten
an even break from the Build
ing, without any charity.
I refer to those men who
had been in the service of the
District for a long number of
years, and through capable and
efficient service, had worked
themselves up to positions Of
foremen. They had men work
ing under them who were, al
most without exception. life
long residents of Washington
men who we're the heads Of
families: men who spent their
wages among Washington mer-
chants, and contributed their
share toward the happiness
and prosperity Of their com.
munity. Yet these men lost
their jobs for no reason a. all
save the ambition O. one in
dividual, and one only, to
make a name for himself.

This suggestion is to begin
Immediately the construction Of
all school buildings in the Dis
trict of Columbia included in
the five-year school building
program act, approved Feb
ruary 26. 1925, which have not
yet been authorized. More than
five years have expired since
the passage of the act and the
building program is probably
not more than half completed.
Money spent in employment to
complete the school building
program will be more for the
general welfare of the COM

posed projects of employment.

which I am a member have
been working for years to get
a school in this section. The
associations in MANY other Sec
tions have also been trying to
get schools and I am sure that
the immediate completion Of
the school building program
would meet with the approval
of the residents Of the District.
There is a serious, urgent and

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland

And, however often a woman
may change from husband to
husband. she seeketh not variety,
but always the ONE MAN, who
shall satisfy all her dreams.
'Lo, because a man loveth one
woman, is nc reason why he
doth not delight in kissing,
another woman. For, unto
him, love is a personal matter;
but a kiss is only a kiss-and
may be purely impersonal.
But, to a woman who hath
set her heart upon one man,
the kisses Of all other men are
boresome, and their caresses
exceeding abhorrent.
Verify, mans thoughts may
be all of one woman, even
while he holdeth another wo-
man in his arms.
But a woman's mind is q
one-way track!
How. then. doth a damsel
think to find happiness and
peace of heart in the philoso-
ply of sophists and the COM
pany Of PETERS?
For a woman may sing the
praises of the free and single
life" but her song subsideth
to a gentle, Yes, dear" when
she hath GOT HER MAN!

Patient Genius
By Archibald Henderson

nection with the history Of the
evolution Of organic forms"
It does not seem to be gen
orally known that Mendel was
in H1e habit Of keeping mice
in his room and breeding them
for sport. He was interested
particularly in crossing differ.
ent races Of mice, such 90
white and gray.
His studies in this field,
rather than with plants, it Is
now believed, gave him his first
inkling of the famous law
which bears his name.
The racial character Of white
ness, disappearing in the second
generation and apparently lost
for good, would pop UP again
in the third generation. This
phenomenon led Medel to the
belief that such an hereditary
character is never really lost,
but merely remains latent for
a time.
This temperance Of an an
cestral trait in third genera
ton had long been known, be
ing alluded to, for example, by
Bacon in one Of his essays.
Mendel differed from his pre-
decessors in forming a definite
hypothesis, which he endeaV-
ored to prove true by numerous
experiments.

an Austrian biographer have
recently supplied us with inter-
esting data regarding that patti

covered the mathematical prin-

overlooked in his lifetime, Gre

farreaching import Of his dis

ness that we recall his words:

Mendel never married. He
entered the Augustinian mon

at the age of .21. To some
visitors, to whom he proudly
showed the plants in his mon

"Here are my children" :.

himself was almost unbel1ev-

Mrs. Solomon says
Verify, verify, my daughter,
there be two-gun men, two-in-
one tables, and two-way streets.
But every damsel is, at heart,
a ONE-MAN woman.
And i1owsoever she may
strive to pose as a varietist
and a hard-boiled collector of
hearts, she deceiveth no one
save herself. For her camou-
flage is thinner than a debu-
tante's hose and easier to see
through than husbands
alibis.
Wherefore, then, do foolish
virgins seek to appear wise"
and to play the sophisticated
and cynical, saying, Love is
the bunk; And marriage cramp-
eth the style. Me for, the free
and single life!" ...
For, in matters of love, men
may be general practitioners,
but every woman is specialist.
And many admirers may
stimulate her vanity and in
flate her egotism. But, when
one man occupyeth her heart,
he leaveth no room for others.
Go to. A mans heart is as
a subway train or a college
flivver, in which there is always
room for ONE MORE.
,Sut a woman's heart is like
unto a telephone booth, where
only one at a time may linger.
