Married Women in
Government Offices
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor OF The star:
Much has been said here Of late
about these in the Government employ
and the married women Of the Gov
eminent service In particular. Some
take the attitude that 1t is quite all
right for married woman to work
as long as she don't work for the Gov
eminent. And some think they should
not work at all. regardless of what
their husbands might make. Some
even go SO far as to say that girl
should not get married unless her hus-
hand can support her. We all have our
own way Of thinking about these mat
tiers. but enc thing is quite certain, we
heard very little about married women
working up until 1929.
Quite frequently We hear married
men say, My wife didn't work when
We got married, or hasn't worked
since" That is quite all right, but
just the same. she had the privilege
of working had she wanted to. Now
working away from the married wom-
en-in such case they will keep their
marriage q secret and keep on work.
ing Just the same. This may not be
the proper thing to do, but 1t will help
considerable in paying the bills.
Some think the old people and the
married women should be kicked out
The vast majority Ct these people made
an agreement to work for the Govern
ment until they reached the retirement
age and fully expected to do so. They
were not asked to remain single; many
would have done so had that been the
case. Is the Government going tc
treat these contracts as mere slips OF
paper?
Some ere worried because department
heads have the first three on the
civil service register to choose from.
might say that those that make the
highest mark may not always prove
the best fitted for the job. A number
of things must be considered. such as
appearance, personality, willingness to
please and many other things. Those
that are not 50 smart often make the
best help. And, too, those that are
already in the service come before those
on the civil service register If those in
the service can make passing grade

tional or clownish, are rs well heard by
the immediate audience of house or
apartment when tuned down to mod
crate volume as when geared to the
roaring point. Intensity Of production
does not add to the quality; in fact, 1t
detracts. Even If the instrument is set
in the living room Of house or apartment
and the audience is seated on q side
porch. it IS unnecessary to turn 1t up
to the highest point.
Possession Of radio does not give
the owner the right to force its sounds
upon everybody In the neighborhood.
The barking of domestic dog can be
protested If the noise 1t makes disturbs
the folks living near. and the law will
abate that nuisance IS 1t does that Of
the disorderly assemclage There is no
effective remedy in retaliation. To turn
on ones own radio to the highest point
as hint or as counter irritant is to
suffer double distress.
Commissioner Lafount's appeal should
bring about realization that radio Is
potential terror, and that its proper
use is possible without inflicting dis
tress upon others. For any form Of
radio entertainment for immediate home
enjoyment, low pitch yields all the
volume that is needed. Until the mat
ter Is made subject to rigid restriction,
the remedy for this nuisance rests with
the radio owners, prompted by consid-
Grafton for all within range. If such
consideration is not shown, the courts
may have to BE- sought for the inhiction

The Dream Month

The Dream Month.
June is fragrant with the roses.
There are harvests in the Fall
And the violet discloses
Beauty at the Springtime's call.
There is toiling, there is scheming,
AS the other months go by,
But there's nothing much but dreamin
To attend to in July.
Fierce and long the locust chatters
Where the sunshine gilds the hill,
And his mate the songbird flatters
With a soft. melodious trill.
But who cares to ask the reason
OF the protest or the sigh?
There's employment for each season
And it's dreaming in July.

Trade With Argentina.

Wh1le the non-ecOnOmlc LONDON Con-
ference winds wearily to its enervating
end, the United States IS proceeding
practically toward world trade better
ment on its own hook. An interview
at the White House on Wednesday be-
tween Senor Espil, the Argentine Am
bassador, and President Roosevelt paved
the way to an eventual commercial
agreement between the United States
and Argentina along lines which plainly
indicate that it is to blaze the trail
for a whole series of reciprocal tariff
treaties with other countries. Bi-lateral
trade pacts Of that sort are the ad-
mitted goal Of President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull. and it is significant that
the administration has tackled the
problem In a concrete instance, with
out waiting for so-called world actor"
in the same general direction at London.
The proposed Argentine-American
deal" rests. as all such compacts must
on a mutual give and take basis. AIgen-
tina wants to sell us, among other
things, mutton from her cattle-raising
provinces and apples from her orchards.
We desire to sell her automobiles and
other manufactured products. An act
OF Congress, lifting the prohibition on
meat from countries where hoof-and-
mouth disease prevails, will be neces-
sary to permit marketing Of Argentine
mutton here. The interests of Amer
lean apple growers would have to be
carefully considered, as far as COM
petitive fruit from the Argentine is
concerned. but none other than Amer
icas foremost "orchardist," Senator
Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, thinks our
market might reasonably be opened to
Argentine apples "seasonally,' during
the Summer months when cold-storage
apples of inferior quality are the only
domestic sort available in the between
crops period.
The net of everything that occurred
at the interview between the Argentine
envoy and the President seems to be
that there Is way in the United
States, provided there Is the will, to
arrive at fair methods OF facilitating
the entry Of foreign goods into our
protected market without undue vio-
lence to home interests. President
Roosevelt is avowedly ready to explore
all such possibilities. Argentina has
been informed that we are prepared to
talk business with her-as We are with
all comers-without delay or restraint.
The President was asked. spropos the
proposed arrangement with Argentina,
what would be the compensatory ad-
vantages to the United States Of tariff
or other concessions to foreign coun-
tries. Obviously, 1t was made clear at
the White House, it is to be expected
that II the Argentinians, for example,
were enabled to sell US, say. $4,000. 900
more Of their produce than before an
equivalent amount Of American goods
would be purchased for export to the
Argentine. That Is q logical deduction
International trade almost always works
out that way. Both sides profit from
such intercourse.
There is everything to be said for
and nothing against. such tit-for-tat
trade arrangements as Argentina and
the United States now contemplate.

Bandits Loot Believed
Sunk With Vessel.

Berlin.-Reports of an immense
treasure of gold. lying on the bot
tom of the Baikal sea in Siberia,
have caused a sensation among
Russian emigrants in Berlin
The gold treasure is declared to
have been sunk in the Baikal sea
% years ago and allegedly be-
longed partly TO the Russian royal
family and partly to the Russian
State bank.
A man appeared at the Soviet
bank in Moscow Il short time ago
and told fantastic story about the
treasure. Although the Soviet au-
thorities are keeping the matter Sc
cret it now has leaked out that not
only has an expedition located the
treasure, but allegedly has even re-
covered considerable amount of
the gold. 1t is now hoped that Mos
cows empty Golfers soon can be
refilled by the vast treasure still at
the bottom of the sea.
Bandits Lose II In Sea.
The facts. as they now have
leaked out, are as follows:
In 1904 war between Japan and
Russia seemed inevitable. Car
Nicholas therefore ordered all state
banks in Siberia to transport their
gold to the state bank In Peters
burg, because he feared that the
japanese might seize the money.
A regiment of Cossacks escorted
the gold transport. When they
reached a small bridge at the
Baikal sea, they were attacked by
a gang of bandits, who had learned
of the secret transport. The ban
dts were much better armed aid
outnumbered the Cossacks, all Of
whom were killed.
The gold bars were brought
aboard a little steamer, to be
shipped to the dug-out of the ban
dts. During the voyage, a terrific
storm broke out, which the obso
lete steamer could not withstand
At the same time, the bandits be-
gan quarreling about the distribu-
tion of the booty.
Swears to Story's Truth.
While the men were engaged in
fierce fight. the steamer suddenly
began to sink. Nearly all of the
crew were lost.

which appears to be an unnec-
essary rule, II the appearance
of Port Royal is any indication of
the opportunity to work, but they

take turns in waiting on tables and
washing dishes.
Professors in the college, Doctor
Hill went on to explain, will get
nothing in return for their services
except their board. which the $3.50
paid by each student will care for.
Classrooms and dormitories will be
in old houses and halls In Port
Royal, long out of use, which have
been leased by their owners at fees
that are said TO be below the dead
line of moderation.
Just how Doctor Hill was led
to select Port Royal has not been

The depression hit the town long

of Importance and busy port.
