Is equipped with the largest staff it
has ever employed to help the
American public make out tax re-
turns. The staff of more than 100
experts is seated at desks which
overflow two big rooms and run
down the Constitution avenue cor
ridor of the building from Twelfth
almost to Tenth street.
The total number of taxpayers for
the past week was 28,215, as COM
pared with 21,938, a gain of 6,227. or
more than 80 per cent. The daily
figures for the two comparable
calendar weeks show that only one
day in 1941 surpassed the record this
year and then by only four persons.

Many persons are expected to
work on their income tax returns
today, with the result that the
Office expects a deluge of people

another Sunday, however. to struggle
with the forms. so that many
procrastinators, it is anticipated,
probebly will put of the trouble
until next week end.

Women in Federal Service
Have AVERAGE AGE Of 81

With a median age of approx
nnatelv 81. women workers In the
Federal service in 1888 were an ap-
preciably older group than gain
fully employed women throughout
the country as a whole, a Labor
Department bulletin revealed yes
terdav. The average woman en-
ployed by the Federal Government
was a clerical worker, probably
stenographer, or typist, with sal
arv of S29 a week, or sl.5OO wear.
The bulletin, issued by the Wom-
ans Bureau. reviews the trend OF
emrlovment Of women in the Fed
eral Government from 1923 to 1889.
The research was conducted by
Rachel Fesler Nyswander and Janet
M. Hooks. under the general direc-
ton of Mary Elizabeth Pidgeon,
chief of the bureaus research diW-
sion.
AS a result of the Government
expanding social program, the num-
ber of women employed as statis-
ticians, accountants, social welfare
workers, job placement specialists,
laboratory technicians, research
economists, legal advisers and labor
law inspectors has increased in re-
cent years, the report disclosed.
From 1886 to 1899, women COM
prised nearly one-ffth of the total
number of Federal employees. Next
to stenographerS, nurses made up
the largest group of women on
Uncle Sans payroll. The bulletin
does not deal with the employment
changes and increases caused by the
war. In June, 194l, the Civil Service
Commission estimated that 267 900
women were employed by the Fed
eral Government, as compared with
$4,000 in June, 1899.
With 10000 women on its rolls, the
Post Office Department employed
more women in 1889 than any other
Federal agency, the report pointed
out. Next in order were the Treas
ury, Agriculture, War and Interior
Departments. All of these agencies
employed more than 10000 women.

Not long ago we read that high
school Greek is passing and Latin
too is wearing thin. 1t looks to us as
though we were born years too soon!
It seems that educators are finding
that because of the rigid entrance
requirements of liberal. arts colleges,
students are forced to devote too
much time to subjects that they
don't like, are not necessary to men
tlal ability and which perhaps would
not give the student any better rat
ing within the college itself. They
object to the large number of hours
required in foreign Languages, ge-
ometry and others. Technical schools
naturally would require mathematics
and physics and schools of speciall-
cation would find need for spec
ial preparation, but for the liberal
arts the needs are not the same. But
don't let them lessen any require
ments for English. To be able to
write and speak English correctly
should be required of all Of us.
Someone suggested that Americans
do speak English, but incorrectly.
Many Kennewick people will agree.

One of the many unfortunate
fruits of the war is the effect that
it has upon the morale and the
of the youth of the land. Man
and especially young men are so con-
stituted by nature that they must be
anchored to the steadying influence
of a plan or program for their lives.
1t serves as a focal point for their
energies, their thought and their
ambitions. War and the prepare
lions for war disrupt normal liv-
ing. No young man can make plans
for school, or college, or a career, be-
cause he knows that sooner or la
ter he will be called into the service
and his plans will be disrupted. The
result is that he is adrift while he
waits and marks time. Such a con-
dition. is a severe test upon any
young maan's morale as well as his
morals. Thousands of young men
all over the nation are going through
that experience now. 1t is both diff
ficult and dangerous and will re-
quire straight thinking and level
head. ,-..-.... /

FUNNY BUSINESS

Vegetables become automobiles
and clothes! Henry Ford shows a
suit made of soy beans and this
cloth which is partly mixed with
wool can he used for upholstery. It
used to be that all that was expected
of a COW was for her to give milk.
Now she gives clothes besides. We
are living where everything is find
ing itself a byproduct of some sort
and so they convert skim-milk into
wool which is called "milk-wool' in
order not to he mistaken for Sleeps
wool. The researchers have found
glass as disable for making material
for lady's frocks, even bathing suits,
if you please! so with making fibre
from skim milk, from spun glass and
soy beans with sheep leading the
way, the cow following, glass and
beans lending a helping hand, it al
most sounds like the stories we read
in fairy tale books when we were
children.

MORE INSURANCE

Congress is setting up a system
for the insurance of American
property aginst air. raids. There may
be no property owners in Kennewick
who would be interested though they
carry insurance aginst fire, theft
and wind. Maybe they don't think
the Germans or japanese can come
over and drop bombs down on us. Be
that as it may, England instituted
this procedure quite long time ago
and the government had to handle
it since none of the companies could
afford to carry it. This finds us a
long ways ahead of 1888 when the
first life insurance policy was issued
and after that came fire insurance.
Centuries back they protected
ships and cargoes with insurance.
But here we are today with dancers
legs insured, a pianist's fingers, a
public ceemony against rain and now
insurance agains bombs Looks like
man can't escape some form Of it.

glory? Surely the time has not
come when the one who entertains
with tales of ancestors who were"
can carry the weight of the one who
boasts of folks who "are." To pro-
claim with a prideful air of being
an American without contributing
to its institution, is scarcely the
spirit in which to celebrate IT Am
An American" day. We are justly
respectful of our past history, the
pioneering spirit that gave us the
great country we are today. Will we
be proud of our present standing
and our future in later years as
Citizenship Days rolls around?
We are living in an era of attack,
attack on principles which we have
held necessary to normal living. Be
cause We have had these privileges,
taken them for granted, we have not
stopped long to consider the badge
of honor we wear as citizens of Am
erica. OF course it is necessary that
we keep the badge shining and
bright so folks can read what it
means and stands for! If you don't
feel some of the pride and gratitude
felt by the Apostle Paul when he
boosted of his Roman citizenship, if
you haven't the deep happiness
which comes with the thought of
our heritage, then perhaps you are
not worthy of the name and surely
not through your efforts will this
country pass on to greater heights
for your children's children. Citizen
ship was a revered privilege in the
world of the ancientS. To acquire
that status meant to become Ia man,
to bear the torch for the right to
walk in its light. We who live in the
midst of a free life accept it as our
just right and seldom stop to con-
slider what would happen if the
torch failed to burn. History points
to a grave price paid on its pages
for the freedom which we take
lightly. History will write how hard
we are fighting today to maintain
these rights Not willing to rest in
the shadows of our ancestors success
in 1iberating, we are planning to
carry on to better things, deeper
understanding, fairer and more
evenly balanced way of life, less cor
ruption and graft-to carry upward
the torch of liberty after the war is
won. We have far to go. This will be
our contribution to America, our
share in dedicating a nation for la
ter generations that they may be
proud to say, II Am An American
