hold for canning pears as for

They are just as delicious as baked
apples ever dared to be, and they
are prepared the same way.
They are even better because a
baked pear has more dignity than
a baked apple. 1t is not so likely

seat in February, 1870, and re-
manned in the Senate through 1871
In compromise with Gov. AL

upon her marriage she quit the job.
There have been two other col
ored women who worked there In
the past. According to Miss Ander-
son, there are 63 employees in the
agency, but not one Of them at
present is cOlored.
When asked what she thougnL
of the possibility cf employing Ne
gre women in the bureau, Miss An
derson said that their budget at
present would not allow it. but she
certainly was in favor of it when
the money was available. She also
pointed out that these people
should come in as typists ana
stenographers under the civil serv-
ice.
1t was pointed out to Miss An
derson that in addition to typiSts
and stenographers, there should
also be a Negro professional work
er who would see to NJ that all ot
the valuable material and informa-
ton gathered by the bureau could
be made available to those who
needed it most.
A further appointment has been
requested with Frances Perkins, Sec
retary of labor, to further discuss
the matter and seek the naming OF
