$25 WEEK ENOUGH FOR TK PEOPLE Is the Ruling Made by Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel. BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. Twentyfive dollars a week is sufficient to provide the necessities of life for three persons, and there is no reason for three persons depending on this sum

becoming public charges. This decision has been given by Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel in reversing the . action of the Immigration officials at New York. They barred from entry into this country Mary and Ceclle Fleming, aged 56 and 58 years respectively, on the ground that their future support would depend on the $25 a week earned by John F. Byrne, a newspaper reporter, and their nephew. There are several thousand government clerks in Washington who know that three, and sometimes six and eight persons, can live on $25 a week, as the average salary in the classified service in Washington is $1,079 a year or $20.75 per week. In fact there are government clerks who work i for only $240 a year, $20 a month. 'They support themselves, though it is inot known that any of these employes feupport families on this wage. In every department, however, there fare a few clerks who show a practical 'aversion to race suicide and who, as ja result, are taking care of large ! families on less money than young ! Byrne earns. The families who live on less than $25 a week may not have many lux uries but they are not in want, nor have they been forced to even a low standard of living. At the same time Washington is well up in the front rank of the cities where it is expensI Ive to live. Outside of Washington the average salaries paid all employes Is $228 a year, $151 less than the average 'within the District. " Twenty-five dollare a week totals . $1,300 a year. In the classified service i there is no such salary, the graduation ; being from $1,200 to $1,400. According to the latest figures compiled by ;the United States Civil Service Com- ! mission, there are 13,445- government clerks who receive less than $1,400 a year. A large number of these are in the $1,200 class, a trifle over $23 a week. There also are 9,108 clerks who receive less than $1,200, or from $20 to $75 a month. This accounts for 1 22,553 clerks in this city who receive i less than Byrne is paid in New York. Various division heads said that they had no figures to indicate how many of these men are married or ' have families to support. Two of them who ventured, what they termed a "guess," said that at least twenty-five per cent of the men have families. If this guess be near correct, it would mean that more than 4,000 families of j government workers alone are getting 1 along on less than $25 a week. In the War Department there are ' 1,600 civilian employes. The annual j payroll is $1,984,000. This includes I the $12,000 paid the secretary and the comfortable salaries drawn by many division heads. But including these good salaries, the average for the civilian employe is only $1,240 a year, a trifle less than $25 a week. There are 701 employes In the Navy Department, not taking into account any of the men employed at the Navy .'Yard, and their average pay is $1,192. ! This figure also includes the salaries ; of the high officials and, owing to the relatively small number of employes, I the average clerical salary is well beBy George, That's a Tonic for Your Life!"

low $1,100, more than $200 a year less than the immigration inspectors at New York thought was an impossible minimum for the sustenance of three persons. Exact figures on the employes of the Agricultural Department were not available, but it was stated by both the appointment division and the disbursinb clerk that the 3,000 employes there do not average more than $1,000 a year in wages. The State Department owing to the small number of persons employed, presents the most favorable showing of any government departments. Including the secretary and the heads of the divisions and bureaus, excepting persons employed in the foreign ser

vice, there are 222 persons who are paid $337,660 a year, an average of $1,521. ' The clerical force however, is not generally better paid than in any other departments.

Murray Theater. Vaudeville Matinee and Night. Sept. 22 Carl Morris. The Murray. This is the last night for the bill at the Murray, tomorrow matinee introducing an entire new set of people. May Mulligan, who sings and dances has met "with much favor, as she neither exaggerates nor burlesques and gives a "straight" exhibition wihch attracts not only for her terpsichorean grace but her pretty face. Laurence Johnston, the ventriloquist is one of the best ever heard in this city, his one impersonation being interesting and out of the usual run of this class of entertainment seen in the vaudeville houses. The Francellias with their heavy weight juggling give an excellent exhibition of this sort of muscular achievement, and the charming little dancer, June Roberts, in her old German setting in the doll-maker's shop, continues to delight her audiences. And Hunter and Ross in their singing comedy run the whole bill a strong first. Black Patti. One of the season's offerings and one that will surely win for itself a prominent place in the foremost ranks of colored musical comedies of today is the Black Patti Musical Comedy Company presenting the new musical hit, "Capt. Jasper," which will - play an engagement at the Gennett on Saturday afternoon and evening. Those acquainted with colored shows will at once understand that a good time is in contemplation and the eminence of Mme. Sissieretta Jones, the original Black Patti, the greatest singer of the colored race, md Happy Julius Glenn, the funniest of the funny, who have been entrusted with the leading parts of this captivating comedy allows no room for doubt as to the success that will attend their efforts, when combined with the unusually funny scenes and situations, bright dialogue, catchy music, singing and dancing which will predominate with "Capt. Jasper." "The Yankee Girl." The play tells a well connected story of a jolly American girl's experience in a Southern republic, who, while traveling with her father protects his business interests from Japanese schemers who try to get control of mines that are his property. There are many amusing situations and the lines are bright and replete with witty repartee. One of the most laughable scenes Is a travesty on a battle waged between the government and insurgent forces of the little republic. Miss Ring is happily cast. She plays the girl around whom the plot revolves and she sings rollicking songs In her own delightful way. Mr. Winninger has a German character part, employing a tangle tongue dialect that enables him to provoke much laughter. The play will be at the Gennett, September 11. Polar Pictures Today. Today at the Gennett the famous motion pictures taken under the auspices of the Carnegie expedition will be shown, and continue through Thursday and Friday. One of the coolest places in the city this week will be that theater, where the spectators, while the sun outside is running the thermometer skyward, are witnessing the moving pictures of the polar regions. These pictures were taken by the Carnegie expedition and depict with remarkable interest the life of the far north. The cinemetograph views are especially notable for their extra-ordinary quality. They are as entertaining as a drama, and of course, incidentally instructive. Few persons know much of the conditions that prevail beyond the southern limits of the arctic circle, and a splendid opportunity is at hand to learn more of these ice bound regions by viewing the Carnegie pictures. Taking Mean Advantage. A Burr Oak man woke up the other night to find his wife going through his pants pocket, where he kept bis money. When be asked her what she was after she stammered and said she was "sewing on a button that had i peared to be missing.'

"Mr. John Tompkins, I believe?" "Yes." "You are a stockholder?" "I ham." replied Mr. Tompkins, with a pronounced cockney accent. Scarlett regarded him attentively for a few moments and then said dryly. "And a very large, well dressed ham you are, sir." The shout of laughter which followed completely disconcerted Mr. Tompkins, and the lawyer's point was gained. Told Him Twice. The English tourist in Scotland.

An English tourist going along the Trongate encountered a crowd of the street accident type. Obeying the universal impulse, he joined It and put the usual question, "What's the matter here?" A carter took his pipe out of his mouth for greater clearness of speech and said, Tlaflafflarry.' "I beg your pardon." "Flaflafflarry."I'm very sorry," the Englishman said meekly, "but I don't understand what has happened." The carter's neighbor turned angrily toward the inquirer. "Man. yer a thick held.

Zinc was introduced into Europe In the seventeenth or eighteenth century by men from India. It was known then as cnlaem. splauter or tnttanego and was the same metal which the famous alchemist. Andreas Lebavius. described in 1C0G and which he declared consisted of silver, cadmia. mercury and arsenic. Late In the sixteenth century keen competition was going on between the Portuguese and the Dutch In the Indian seas. and. a Portuguese ship having been captured by the Dutch, her cargo of calaem or "Indian tin" found its way Into Europe. Nobody at that time knew what it was. and it was a piece of this cargo tbat became the subject of analysis by Lebavius. Zinc, it seems, was first produced in India, but soon became an important industry in China. The first Chinese book which mentions zinc, calling It yayuen. according to the Engineering and Mining Journal, is the Tienkonggaiou. or Technical Encyclopedia. China was the sole producer of zinc until the middle of the eighteenth century, disregarding a minute quantity of that metal which was occasionally obtained as a byproduct in the lead furnaces of Goslar in the Harz mountains. New York Post. Strangers In Fez. "The people of Fez are charming," declares J. F. Legard In the Pall Mall Magazine. "During one's walks or rides through the town it Is quite the exception to be spat at, as Is often the case in other ultra-Mobammedau towns, and the crowd is, on the whole, merely smiling and inquisitive, like a crowd in Naples or any other south Italian town. Now and then some fanatic generally an epileptic will try to raise a disturbance .and will be gently removed by his friends the Moors are kindness Itself in the face of poverty or affliction but, except for these and a few casual curses from the old and soured, the Christian dog may pursue his way in comparative peace, provided he does not attempt to enter a mosque or pass the barriers placed In front of those streets leading up to the tomb of Moulai Idriss, the founder and patron saint of Fez." Mistakes of Authors. The author of "Don Quixote" makes the party at the Crescent tavern eat two suppers in one evening. Scott in one chapter of "Ivanhoe" gives the Christian name of Malvolsin as Richard, subsequently altering It to Philip. Pope makes a weasel eat corn. Kingsley makes John Brumblecombe read the prayer for "all sorts and conditions of men." though in the time of Elizabeth the prayer book did not contain It Sir Archibald Allison speaks of "Sir Peregrine Pickle" when he means Sir Peregrine Maitland. and the same author translated "droit de timbre" as timber duty, "a howler." which is only equaled by Victor Hugo's translation of "Firth of Forth."
