Jobs for Women Go
Begging in Ireland.

Irish Independent, Dublin.-To the
Editor: Anybody who takes the trouble
to read the advertising columns of your
paper will be struck with the frequent
appearance OF advertisements seeking
women workers for clothing concerns
AS director of one Of these, am in
position to say that the number of
women offering with any degree OIL
competency is wholly inadequate to
meet the requirements of the present
time. 1t is not an exaggeration to as
sert that three or four hundred work
ers Of this type-if available-could
find immediate employment in Dublin
alone.
Likewise, I am assured by house
keepers that it is very difficult to get
domestic servants. On this matter
am depending on secondhand infor-
nation, which may or may not be ac-
curate.

lad who should do well demon
strated in Masterton that the
IL way to get Job Is to 60 after it.
He found his opportunity at a
horse sale, at which a large number OF
farmers assembled. When the auc-
tioneers had had their turn the
youngster addressed the farmers
standing round, told them he wanted
a job, and invited any OF them
to give him one. There was no re-
Spouse at the moment, but the lad was
not disheartened. He next tackled the
farmers individually and went from one
to another until he came across one
who agreed to give him job. His
pluck and initiative thus stood him in
good stead, and he proceeded to MS
job.

Mayor Of Rich Town
Gets Jobless Relief.
Berliner Lokal Anzeiger.-There Is
q small town somewhere In this
republic of Germany known by the
name of Trohe. 1t Is place OF
which little Is ordinarily heard; In fact,
until now it was almost unknown, ex-
cept to its own burgers. But that has
ali been changed. Trohe has, Of course,
a mayor and a board of aldermen, like
all other German towns. The mayor
in private life used to be tailor, and
tailor who made good living, even
in this miniature city. But now, since
he has been elevated above the station
of the common citizen, and draws the
salary of an official, 1t Is not consid-
cred good etiquette for him to continue
work with the needle. And besides, the
tailoring business is not what 1t used
to be, either. The burgomaster's pay
In Trohe, unfortunately, is not large;
in fact, it Is quite the contrary. The
honorable head Of the municipality soon
found 1t impossible to live upon his
narrowed finances And because he
still could not bring himself to make
the faux pas" Of clambering once more
upon his bench, and thus serve two
masters in the eking out Of his exist
ence, doing justice to both, without any
further hesitation he applied for un-
employment relief, and what's more, he
got it!
And that Is why Trohe, that little
town somewhere in Germany, has sud-
denly become known all over the coun-
try, because the mayor, the head OF the
corporation, is on the lists of the un-
employed, though strictly speaking he
has job, and obtaining public as
sistance the same as the most poverty
burdened of his fellow citizens. Every
weekday morning, at a certain hour,
His Worship, the buergermeister OF
Trohe may be discovered standing in
line with the rest of the pecuniarily
handicapped awaiting his turn to re-
ceive the indispensable grocery order
Long Live Progress!
How comfortable an assurance 1t is,
too If circumstances have been so un-
kind as to place one on the welfare
lists, to observe the highest municipal
official in the very same queue and
category! To be the object Of public
benevolence then becomes quite stylish

to have 1t. The Democrats during the
Republican administration played the
same kind of politics.
II any one had any doubt as to
what would happen in the Senate when
debt day" rolled around for the for
eign debtor nations the debate in that
body yesterday must have removed it.
When 1t became known definitely that
the President had accepted $4,000, 900
from the British, or about one-eighth
OF the amount due today, and that he
had said this did not necessarily mean
default, there was a howl, Senator
Borah of Idaho, former Republican
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, took, it is true, the posi-
ton that the President had forfeited
nothing and had maintained the integ-
rity of the claims of the United States.
But Senator Reed of Pennsylvania and
Senator Hiram johnson of California
rose and roared at the British for "de-
fault" The debate, to put it mildly.
is not calculated to throw oil on
troubled waters at the London Eco
nomic Conference.
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia
launched into a discussion of the war
debts, however, which is as foreign to
the usual speech by Senators on that
subject as anything that has been
heard in the Senate for a long, long
time. The Virginia Senator, who SAYS
what he thinks without regard to any
political implication or the votes he
may make or lose thereby, bluntly told
the Senate and the world that the
foreign debtors should be given q full
opportunity to discuss their debts with
representatives of this country. He
ridiculed the talk of the other Sen
ators, which fell into line with the
comment Of the late President Coolidge
when he said of the debtor nations:
"They hired the money, didn't they?"
He called attention to the fabulous
American fortunes which had been
made by Americans cut of the money
loaned to these foreign allies of the
United States, all of whom purchased
supplies tn this country.

AUTO HEAD ASKS
MORE POLICE

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 23.-Repeal
of the prohibition law will bring
about the necessity for more mo-
torcycle policemen to safeguard
the roads, E. Austin Baughman,
commissioner of motor vehicles,
told the house ways and means
committee yesterday.
He was called by the house of
delegates to explain appropria-
tions asked by his department.
Baughman asserted that in his
opinion the roads will be ram
pant with traffic violators" for
six months following repeal of
the dry law, and he estimated
that he will need at least Is ad-
ditional policemen.
The commissioner was attacked
by members of the committee for
using State cars for personal
trips, and replied by asking if
the hearing was to be an investi-
cation into his personal affairs.
Asked how to explain the addi-
tional Is men in view of the
demands for rigid economy in
State expenditures, Baughman
said:
"YOu would say the men were
needed if one of them saved
the life of your child"
Baughman also asserted that
$4,000 included in the budget
for three new substations is
absolutely essential.

There will be no funds avail

Defends Salaries

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 23-Slashes
in salaries and cuts in operating
costs will reduce the 1934-35
budget of the University of Mary
land by approximately 20 per
cent, university officials pointed
out today to the special Senate
Committee investigating the in.
Stitution.
The special committee will go
to College Park today for further
investigation.
$25O,OOO Saving a Year
DR.. Raymond A. Pearson, presi-
dent of the university. yesterday
told the committee members that
he believes the cuts will save
$250,000 each of the two years
effected.
DR.. Pearson and H. c. (Curly)
Byrd, athletic director and foot
ball coach and vice president Of
the university, were subjected to
long examination on the queS-
ton of salaries.
Byrd told the committee that
he believes the three separate
salaries he receives are based on
the quality of the jobs he does.
Byrd receives $11,500 a year.
DR.. Pearson receives $4,000,
and this also comes from three
sources, he told the committee.
n
The Senate committee brought
out the fact that of the 1880
students at the university, 626
are from the District of Colum-
bia and 1873 from States other
than Maryland.
DR.. Pearson admitted to the
committee that it would be of
financial assistance to the State
if the student body were limited
to Marylanders.
Cost per student has been re-
duced from 1920 per capita in
1921 to $170 at the present time,
largely due to increase in enroll
ment.
Fearful Of Reaction
DR.. Pearson said he would
welcome a method of charging
students from the District the
same fees as charged other out
of-State students, but said he
feared tn. reaction in Congress
to such a move.

MERGER PLANS
To Be PUSHED

Action looking to an early COM
pletion of the proposed merger of
the two. local street railway sys-
TENS is to be taken, following ap-
proval of the merger plan by
stockholders of the two concerns
yesterday.
The merger Of the Washington
Railway and Electric and Capital
Traction companies is authorized
under a Congressional resolution
adopted in January of this year,
and the companies are allowed
six months within which to pre-
sent plan to the stockholders.
Yesterdays action was merely a
formality to comply with the six
months provision Of the resolu-
tion and the vote was merely an
approval of the plan to merge,
provided an agreement can be
reached on the financial set-up Of
the two firms and the division OF
bonds, indebtedness, etc.
Work on the financial set-up
will continue now, with confer
enceS between directors of the
two firms scheduled in the i'm
mediate future.
Under the Congressional reso
luton the companies have two
years in which to complete the
merger, but hope has been ex
pressed by officials of both firms
that the merger can be completed
by the end of 1888.
