that their service in the Army in the
late war gives them special rights that
are granted to no other citizens and
which they would oppose being grant

many veterans are willing to take ad-
vantage of their special position to set
themselves apart as class unto them

the Veterans Bureau instance the
rapid growth of this idea. The march

Married Women in
The Public Offices

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is truly refreshing and amusing
to read such letters as the one APP
pearing in your paper a few days ago
commenting on married women in the
Government service. If the gentleman
who wrote that letter really believes
what he wrote he has been grossly
misinformed.
He speaks OF married women having
gone through a long period of train
ing and experience" to fit them for
their positions. Does he not know that
the great majority of those in the serv-
ice who are married are young men
and women most of whom have entered
the service in very recent years?
The letter also states that the salary
OF either the husband or wife alone
would not be sufficient to support them,
but how about the thousands Of single
boys and girls who are walking the
streets seeking positions? Any of them
would be glad to have either the salary
OF the husband or wife.
Some one has offered the argument
that these married employees are helping
their relatives back in their home
States. Very good, but perhaps some Of
the unemployed single girls and boys
have folks who need assistance.
No woman whose husband is in the
service should be permitted to fill a
position. If the husband is not making
enough to support her they should not
be married and all such women should
be dismissed and the places filled by
single boys and girls
AS for the merit system mentioned
in the letter referred to. there is no such
thing, and if the gentleman writing the
letter would investigate he would be so
convinced Neither does seniority or
experience in the service have any
weight, as any person having been in
the service few years we'll knows.
There are thousands of young mar
ried couples both drawing large salaries
from the Government service I know
of one couple whose combined pay is
$1,000, and many are drawing several
thousand q year.
We have the same thing In our State
capitol here. J. q. MURDOCH.

i o the EQltOr OF Inc star.
May I suggest through the medium
of your paper that since We all do not
agree to the bonus at this critical
period, We do believe that it is our duty
to see that our veterans are not started
back home on an empty stomach. and
I suggest that every man in Washing
ton who has permanent job, and every
woman who is working permanently,
and every housewife who has husband
working, and can afford to do SO. send
to Gen. Glassford on the evening be-
fore the veterans leave a box OF sub
stantial lunch, enough food to last each
man two days. Not hot dog, but sew
eral good cooked meat sandwiches, some
homemade doughnuts or cookies and
any other delicacy that might keep two
days. Let us unite in this effort to
give the boys q good send-off and show
them we have not forgotten what they
did for us. No one Is asked 20 do this
who cannot afford to so do, but there
are enough Of us who can and will
gladly do this, so that none will leave
our great city hungry. Please ask for
immediate replies on this subject so
that all will know just what to do.
