■Washington, Dec. 19.—The popu
lation of the City of Washington
has Increased at least 50,000 since
the war began. It is natural that
the capital city, the center of gov
ernmental activities, shouldj show
this marked effect of the most ex
tensive preparation for war ever
undertaken by the country. A
steady stream of new appointees to
the great civilian army pours in
to the city; the streets hum with
activity; everybody is busy and
earnest; on every hand are the
sure signs of a competent organiza
tion witb a fixed purpose.
At the request of the United
Stales Civil Service Commission the:
Washington Chamber of Commerce
has undertaken the work of di
recting to suitable rooming1 and
boardiug places the n.ew arrivals
Who are not acquainted in the
city. Hundreds of desirable rooms,
with or without board, are listed,
and at very moderate rates. Ap
plication for accommodations can
be made by new appointees thru
correspondence before leaving home
or by calling at the office of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce,
No. 611 Twelfth Street, N. W., up
on their arrival in Washington.
Stenographers and typewriters
make up a large part of the ad
ditions to the forc« at Washington.
Thousands have been appointed and
thousands more are nedeed. Ship
draftsmen for the N&vy Department,
mechanical draftsmen for the ser
vice generally, and statisticians
and what are known as clerks quali
fied in business administration,
clerks qualified in statistics or ac
counting, index and catalogue
clerks, balance of stores clerks,
and schedule clerks for the) Ordnance
Department of the Army ore .also Jn
great demand. Representatives of
the United States Civil Service
Commission at the post offices in
all localities are furnishing detail
ed information concerning positions
at Washington in which workers are
needed.
WILL REBUILD
HUMAN WRECKS
Washington, — America's first
gteat hospital for tiie reconstruction
o* wouudeil moil h;'s been accepted
by the Government from thg Bene
volent and Protective Order of Elks
The hospital buildings will be erect
ed on. Parker Hill, uear the Robert
brlgham Hospital, in Boston, at a
CCbt of ?250,000, The money was
mica from the Elks' |1.0u0,000 waij
reJiel fund.
With American wounded being ac
tually carried back from the fight
ing front, Surgeon-General Gorgas'
office declared itself equipped and
ready rebuild human wreckage
into able-bodied men.
String Of Hospitals
A string of reclamation hospitals
extends from the French lines to
the ahorpo o£ thig country. Every
device anc, resource known to science
is at hand to rebuild nearly every
JH' of the human frame. Men witty
half the'r faces shot away by shrap
nel will get newi jawbone^ from
their ribs and neje noses and new
cheeks from the cartilage and tissues
On other parts <*£ their bodies.
The Surgeon-General's staff be
lieves tha value oX thia service to
America cannot be estimated. Thous*
auds of men whQ would be wrecks
without proper treatment will be
sect back to the fighting, and oth
ers will be rebuilt and taught trades
that will make them economic as
sets instead of liabilities, Even
a man d&af, dumb, blinded anc& parw
lyzert frcm the waist down Jr.iU be
taught a trade at which he can
For Hi<3 Totally Disabled
Plans ere being completed for a
I big b^se hospital in thia country
' where all totally disabled men will
| bo sent after tbe European hos
Icitals xaye done all tbejr can for
them. Ia this hospital additional eft
| forts will be made to improve their
condition. , i
| In re-educating the deaf, dumb
I or blind they will be sent to private
I institutions at Government expense,
j Those desiring technical training
I will be sent to technical schools.
I Others will be trained for civil ser
j vice agricultural work, or wliat
' ever they choose. .
I Gen. Gorgas's idea is to build
few hospitals in this country ex
i cluslvely for this reclamation work,
I The greater part of such, surgery
4lffill be done Just behind the lines. .
Chempiort 8low Workere.
One of the things that Cebu boasti
of Is its fine wharf. They make *
great deal of the fact that today the
palatial liner can slip up to the whar!
on the sly and get rid of its cargo be
fore the customs officials have waked
up, whereas it was only ten years age
that boats had to He out in the barboi
and have the cargo transshipped Into
lighters.
We slipped up to the wharf all right,
It took us from C in the morning until
0 at night to unload half the cargo of a
ship whose gross tonnage is 742. i I
have seen lighters used in several
scores of ports, aud I never saw such
slow work as that.
But, theu, I had never seen the Fili
pino workman at his task before. As
a snap judgment, made nfter ouly two
weeks In the islands. I would say that
a Japanese woman or a Chtnese coolie
could give a Filipino a month to rest
up and feed up for a piece of work and
then beat him so badly In the first hour
that he wodld uever catch up. Of
course Cebu Is in the tropics, but so is
Singapore, aud I'll back a Singapore
Chinaman against a Cebu Filipino any
day.—Christian Herald.
Four Thingg.
There are three things, yes, four,
which carnot be satisfied—a birdling's
hunger, an orator's vaulty, a child's
curiosity and the hotel clerk's Joy in
assigning dark rooms.—Seattle Post-In
telligencer.
Another Royal Dieaeter,
"Our baby is a thorough democrat,"
said the father proudly.
"Umpb!" said the not overinterested
friend.
"Yes," expanded the father, "he wm
playing with the chessmen the other
day, and now we cau't find the kings
and queens."—Buffalo Express.
The Scrtne Uninformed.
"What a men doesn't know doesn't
hurt him," said the superficial philoso
pher.
"No," replied the cynical statesman,
"but if he gets into a responsible po
sition what he doesn't know is likely
to hurt a whole lot of other people."
—Washington Stsr.
Awkward.
"Have you a dog?" asked a tax as
sessor of an Evansville woman.
"No. sir." was the woman's answer.
Then from the kitchen came. "Bow
wow. gruff-gruff."
"Then that is your kittenV" asked the
assessor.—Chicago News.
Firmness of Purpose.
Firmness of purpose is oue of the
most necessary sinews of character and
L>ne of the best instruments of success.
Without it genius wastes Its efforts in
n maze of Inconsistencies.—Chesterfield.
Storme of Life.
The noblest characters ara those who
bave steered the life saving vessel
through storm tossed seas. A bed of
lown never nurtured a great soldier
ret.
The habit of doing little bard things
promptly and bravely Is the best prey
!UBti"ii fur the i-rises nf life.
