Percentage Of Women
lin u. 5. Employ Drops

The Civil Service Commission 4
semi-annual personnel report for
the executive agencies, released yes
terday showed that the percentage
of women employees is decreasing as
the Government force expands
under the impetus Of the arma-
ments program.
From June 80 to December 81, last
total employment increased by about
10000 to 932, ,305, but the number
of women fell from 172,733 to 172,-
269, and the percentage from 1873
per cent Of the total employment
to 1875.
The drop was reflected In the field
figures, for the national trend was
reversed here, with employment OF
women for the six months up from
1892 to 49,658.
The report shows four agencies in
which women employees outnumber
the men-Board of Tax Appeals,
Civil Service Commission, Employees
Compensation Commission and
Maritime Labor Board-and put the
classified positions in the entire
service at 709 per cent as compared
to GIT in June.

A. This action of the brakes in

where Perhaps the master cylinder

Immediately, as it is a dangerous
condition.
@. My service man recommends
having the water pump serviced but
I see no reason why this job should
be done. In the first place the car
has been only 10000 miles; and,
furthermore, there isn't a sign of
water leakage around the shaft. I
have always believed that with a car
it pays to let well enough alone.
Don't you agree? L. 3. v.
A. This is dangerous theory. In
the case of a modern water pump
it pays to be suspicious. Much
pump trouble today comes from this
unit leaking air into the cooling
system, rather than to water leak
ing out. Air that is sucked in in
creases oxidation and helps produce
an excessive amount of rust. Have
the pump rebuilt and for good
measure replace the shaft and i'm

Bo's'un Patrick E. Bush of

to his home port.
Home between trips, Bush proved
that glorious adventure still awaits
the daring just as it did in by
gone years.
He sailed as Bo's'un Bush aboard
the Boxer, modernized old wooden
schooner built in 1894, to Point
Barrow on the very top of Alaska,

goes. Journeyed six times through
