MS ft BIGJMROLL Over Half a Million Persons Serve / Uncle Sam. Os This Number 384,088 Are Employed in the Executive Branches of the Federal Government. Washington.—The United States government has the greatest employment bureau in the world in the Civil Service Commission. The commission takes care of the employment of all of the 384,088 persons who work for the executive branch of the government in various ' ways. Os this number 222,278 hold office as a result of competitive examinations held by the commission, and their tenure is not subject to the whim of a statesman or politician. This army of 384,088 does not include all of the persons who serve the M government. This number has to do with the executive employes. In addition there are 2,115 employes of the senate and the house and 484 men and women who serve in the Congressional Library. Then there are 4,399 employes of the judiciary, including judges, attorneys and marshals, an<> their clerical assistants and messengers, referees in bankruptcy and United States commissioners. Then the army has 80,521 officers and enlisted men; the navy 40,832. To these must be added 1,415 consuls, interpreters, secretaries and clerks in the diplomatic and consular service. The result is a grand army of federal employes numbering 513,854 persons. This employment buread has been running twenty-eight years, beginning under President Garfield. During his term Garfield classified or made subject to competitive examination 15,573 positions. President Cleveland in his first term added to this number 27,330. President Harrison extended the competitive civil service to 42,928 additional places. In his second term President- Cleveland added 81,889 more to the number, and his successor, President McKinley, further extended the operations of the civil service law so as to include an additional 85.150. , President Roosevelt’s term in the White House saw the list of classified positions swelled by 119,916 and to date President Taft has added 4,116, making the total of places made competitive by presidential order to date 124,032. The discrepancy between this figure and the 222.278 now , under the classified seryice is due to the fact that the clerical force in all of the government departments has Increased materially since first placed under the civil service. The growth of the executive civil service has been wonderful. In 1816 there wera qnly 6,327 employes of the government departments. The official registry shows the following table: Approximate total names. 1816 6,327 1821 8,211 1831 19.821 1811 23.783 1851 ....; 33.352 1863 49.212 1871 53.917 ISSI £1)7,095 1891 166,375 1893 4 179.993 1895 189,366 1897 ...., 192.336 , 1899 ....'. 208.215 1901 256.081 1903 300.766 1905 349.075 t!90,7 301,141 1909 370,065 “The disproportionate increase in the number of government employes □ver the increase in population,” said an official of the Civil Service commission, “is not at all an indication of extravagance or wasteful methods. It is rather the necessary result of governmental entrance to new fields of activity undreamed of before the Civil war. The wonderful growth of the department of agriculture, which was not created until 1862, is just one explanation of the vast increase in appropriations and expenditures for clerical assistants.” This army of government clerks, minor officials and laborers coming directly under the Civil Service commission, and which numbers 384,088, is divided into several classes. First, and by far the most important, is that of the 222.278 employes who are in the competitive class. Os laborers and unclassified employes there are 64,892. Os excepted and non-competitive places there are 59,202; and there are 9,525 positions filled directly by the ; president, the postmasters and diplo--1 mats. To this number must be added 28,191 laborers, who are listed as the L ‘digging force on the isthmus.” These g canal laborers are all executive emI ployes of the United States, but no I civil service test of fitness is required I of them. It is said by some statistical sharps that this army of 513,854 federal employes does not include all persons who are attached to the federal payrolls. They say that the 64.000 clerks in fourth-class post offices are not given in the official figures of the commission, which holds that these clerks are, nut government employes, as they are paid by the fourth-class postmasters. Regarding them as federal employes would bring the grand total of federal servants up to 577,854 The commission today has jurisdiction over more than half of all those wjlio can in any way be classed as fsd oral employes and over two-thirds of those working in the executive branch of the government. Its work Is increasing daily. The commission lends its assistance to those branches / of the federal service which hold independent examinations so“ candi

dates. The consular service under the state department is one instance. The persons appointed to this service gained their positions as the result ol competitive examinations conducted by the commission, but the commission has no jurisdiction over their work, pay or removal, their fate resting solely in the hands of the state de partment officials. “There is at present little if any tendency to regard the restrictions ot the civil service rules as evils to be observed only under compulsion,” said one of the officials. “There are evi dences of a growing desire in all branches of the service for a faithful application of the. principles of the merit system.” NAVY’S WARRANT OFFICER. The grade of warrant officer in the navy forms one of those naval castes which are puzzling to the civilian The warrant officer holds his position by virtue of a warrant issued by the secretary of the navy. The warrant rank is next below that of midshipman and consists of boatswains, gunners, carpenters, warrant sailmakers and pharmacists. The pay is graded according to the length of service and nature of the assignment. During the first three years the pay on sea duty is $1,500; on shore duty. $1,125, and on leave or waiting orders, $875 a year. The pay rises with each three years of service until the time of service exceeds twelve years, after which period the pay reaches $2,250 while on sea duty, $2,000 on shore duty or detached assignments, and $1,500 when on waiting orders or when on leave. All gunners are not warrant officers, but when a gunner has attained a warrant officer’s rank he has, under the commissioned ordnance officer, charge of. the ordnance, magazines, etc. The'warrant officer gunner is usually an apprentice with a good rec ord, appointed after examination upon the recommendation of the command ing officers. Gunners and boatswains, also to the number of six, have been annually eligible to commissions if suitably recommended after passing the requir ed examination. During the Spanish war and since that time there have been very many promotions to. the warrant officer rank, and the rapid expansion of the navy made it possible for many warrant officers to secure promotion to the commissioned rank When the ship’s carpenter is a warrant officer he is chief of all the art! sans and mechanics. This force is called the carpenter's gang, and con sists of shipwrights, plumbers, pipefitters, blacksmiths, painters and car penter’s mates. After ten years’ serv ice the carpenter was formerly commissioned chief carpenter, with the, rank of ensign. The boatswain is one of the most , important of the warrant officers. He ; has under the executive officer charge : of the rigging, anchors, cable, cordage, j etc. He summons the crew at al) general evolutions and acts as assist ant to the executive in carrying on the general business of the ship. The badge of office of the boatswain is his call or whistle. DIPLOMATIC REFORMS. The much-talked-of and long-advo-cated reform in the United States states diplomatic and consular service, which has had for its aim the elimination of petty politics in the nation’s foreign sen ice, seems about tobe realized as the result of innovations introduced by the heads of the state department. Determined to live down the oft-repeated charge that the words “American diplomacy” meant ; nothing worthy of the name, the state department officials are rapidly bring ing the service to a high state of efficiency by means of competitive oral and written examinations. The department put into operation in 1906 a systematic form of examina tion for prospective members of the diplomatic and the consular corps ot the United States. Today one-third of the consular force is composed of young men who have passed the examination. Within five years this percentage will be increased to cover nearly three-fourths of the service. The balance is represented by men who were in the service when the new system was begun, and of their number a dozen or more have been promoted to the post of minister. In addition, practically all of the under secretaries in the diplomatic service have passed these examinations Thus, it is evident, that the new sys tem has made substantial progress. COURT’S BUSY SESSION. The United States commerce court now occupies in the recently completed Southern building a courtroom said to be one of the finest in the coun . try. One floor is given over to the uses of the court and ample provision has been made for the judges’ cham bers and the court library. The present session will be a very busy and important one. Among the decisions expected are those in the lemon rate cases, the water carriet cases, the Chicago stockyard cases and the Louisville and Nashville case to set aside an order of the interstate commerce commission prescribing class rates from New Orleans to Mo bile and cities in Alabama and Florida. Actions which will be tried before the court include the case of the At lantlc Coast Line railroad and others to set aside an order of the interstate commerce commission prescribing the rail and water rates on boots am’ shoes from Boston and New York t< Atlanta, Ga.

FASHIONS FOR GIRLS COMFORT AND PRACTICALITY ARE RULING FEATURES. Color and Style That Sult the Youthful Wearer Given Close Attention —One-Piece Frocks in Two Dainty Designs. Happily for the peace of mothers, none of the eccentricities of adult garments pervades little wardrobes. In all departments children's clothes are' sensible, all wear for everyday use being made up with an eye to comfort and practicability. At the same time, however, a good deal of attention is given to the color and style that suit the small wearer, so whether the little garment is bought ready made or is made at home much consideration is gi”en to suitability, And, after all it is this quality, the ight line and the right color, which makes up that subtle essence called style. A juvenile shop is an excellent place in which to study up effects for home sewing, for these stores engage the best designers and makers and the small garments are, simpler and better made than elsewhere, to .say nothing of the superiority of their material over the usual thing." School and everyday clothes in these delightful places—for they are as interesting in some departments as doll houses —run largely to soft, dark wools with white or bright touches, Scotch plaids,, being as always, much favored. Some of the newest plaids, though, are made in olny two colors, the pattern showing a double line crossing in a square check in different sizes. These pretty stuffs, and others of the plaid family, ,are much used for trimming a plain goods—the patterned material showing in a deep sailor collar, or in an edging for this and the cuffs, and in bands used elsewhere. A dress entirely of the plaid may be made up with a bit of silk in one of the dominant tones of the goods. Red and black and green, blue and black and white, and brown and white are some smart color combinations in these ever-stylish and gay materials. Other stuffs’ for growing children from the kindergarten are up to eight likewise run greatly to a pattern of some sort, as it is found that the such textures stay clean longer than the plain ones. Soft wools with mottled. dotted and striped effects are all seen, and if the frock is very simple it is trimmed only with a plain wool. The two small girls in the illustration wear regulation one-piece frocks in the styles suited to four and six years old. The dress of the bigger girl is of a broken-check plaid wool in red and blue; plain red serge forms the collar and cuffs, which are outlined with a little red soutache This little frock is very compact and sensible, but at the same time the style can be used for a more dressy one with a cut out neck and short sleaves. ‘AU the textures hitherto mentioned are suitable for the model, which in a good material and with some smartening of trimming, is also a'dapted to the girl’s best bib. The second frock in this picture is a very plain effect adapted to wool or a stout wash material, and in some of the shops the model is called the

CAMISOLE AND UNDERSUP *- Dainty Combination That Will Appeal to the Woman of Good Taste. This is a dainty camisole for nainsook. cambrlq or Jap silk; It has a “V” shaped opening at nec.k. outlined ■with insertion and lace; strips of insertion are taken over the shoulders to basque back and front; this is connected to upper part by a narrow ( LI ■ WS i beading. Small tucks are made each side of front. x The little puff sleeves are set to oeading edged with lace frills. k Materials required: 1% yards 3GInches wide, 3 yards insertion. 2 yards lace. - i The underslip would be made in jateen, batiste, silk or satin, to be worn under lace or thin blouses; it is quite plain, fastens down front and is drawn up at waist by tape threaded

“Nancy.” The design is merely a long-bodied blouse, opening at the front, and attached to a skirt no more than frill length. The cut is very suitable for the child who needs a number of frocks, and plain as the dress is it can be made of anything from gingham to velvet. In fact, a black velvet dress made in this way, and topped at the shoulders with a broad Irish would be the height of magnificance, as the richer the material for little folks the plainer the fetyle. Now a word as to mother economies for these small costumes, or any finer ones. Has mamma—the mamA# ma who is to do all the sewing—looked over her old materials lately? If so, she must have found something which can be used again, a soft, light wool that would dye nicely, a yard of new silk, satin, or a quantity of good silk braid in an impossible color. All of these things can be turned to account for a whole gown, trimmings or touches, for a good wool and braids dye beautifully, and when bought new they are high priced. Large White Revers. There is a growing fashion for large white revers on all kinds of coats. The top wraps of rough English suitings have collars of white Shetland wool or mohair or serge. These are very wide at the back and are differently shaped in front; some run down in wide points to the waist, others are short and square, and others are scalloped. They give an effect of all white from the waist up. which is augmented by the addition of huge white cuffs to match. Poke Bonnets With Velvet Crowns. The Georgia poke of narrow brim drooping at the sides and rounding up a little at front and back is often allied with very high crowns in draped silk of velvet, or in silk, velvet, beaver or felt, trimmed high. Bandeaux of feathery egrets ospreys or other fluffy plumage may entirely encircle the crown, giving great height or pointed wings may be used in a similar war, or finely plaited tulle cut in winglike points and closely pressed may be placed around the crown of a velvet hat with admirable effect

through a slide. The plain sleeves should be either short or long, according to blouse worn. Materials required: 2 yards 36 inches wide. 4 buttons. KEEPING THE FACE CLEAN Considered Old-Fashioned Now to Be Afraid to Give Face Good Scrubbing. The face is a part of our body which needs the utmost attention, because it is also the part which is most exposed. Some persons are afraid of using any but the gentlest motions upon the face, yet we are told that scrubbing the face is a very good thing as an occasional treatment, that it opens the pores in away such as they cannot otherwise be opened—that it takes out accumulated dirt, and best of all for the pale people, it brings about a healthy circulation and a rich glow to the cheeks which is an attractive addition to most complexes. A small brush such as one uses for the hands, called a "nail brush,” is good as an Instrument tor this scrubbing process, and there should be.some elbow grease applied here as well as in other domestic cleansing processes It Is considered quite old-fashioned now to be afraid to give at least one good scrubbing a week to the face.

An umbrella with windows is the latest in Paris The reason given for the innovation is the difficulty of get ting about on account of the danger caused by traffic, especially in w weather.

A Shakespearian enthusiast with a turn for statistics has discovered that the plays contain 106,007 lines and 814,780 words. “Hamlet” is the longest play, with 3,930 lines,, and the “Comedy of Errors” the shortest, with 1,777 lines. Altogether the plays contain 1,227 characters, of which 157 are females. The longest part is that of Hamlet. The part with the longest word in it is that of Costard in “Love’s Labor Lost,” who tells Moth that he is “not so long by the head as bonorlficabilltudinitatibes.” PIMPLES ON FACE 3 YEARS "I was troubled with acne for three long years. My face was the only part affected, but it caused great disfigurement, also suffering and loss of sleep. At first there appeared red, hard pimples which later contained white matter. I suffered a great deal caused by the itching. I was in a state of perplexity when walking the streets or anywhere before the public. “I used pills and other remedies but they failed completely. I thought of giving up when nothing would help, but something told me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a Cuticura Booklet which I read carefully. Then I bought some CuticuTa Soap and Ointment and by following the directions I was relieved In a few days. I used Cuticura Soap for washing my face,” and applied the Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. This treatment brought marvelous results so I continued-with it for a few weeks und was cured completely. I can truthfully say that the Cuticura Remedies are not only all, but more than they claim to be.” (Signed) G. Baumel, 1015 W. 20th Place, Chicago, 111., May 28, 1911.

No Man is Stronger ; Than His Stomach Ihjjllin A strong man is strong all over. No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease '•'Sn of the stomach and its associated organs, which im- fi* pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition j contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man “ doesn’t feel just right,” when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond* ent, he is Josing the nutrition needed to make strength. SacJh a man should use Dr, Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood, invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH SXD STEEXGTU TO THE WHOLE BODY. You can’t afford to accept a secret nostrum as a substitute for this nonalcoholic medicine of known omposition, not even though the urgent dealer may thereby make a little bigger profit.
