Discussing tht .needs and activities of the government, Mr. Wales said: "There is no prospect thnt the ac tivities of the government will be cur tailed to the pre-war standard, nt which time the entire classified service reached the total of about .100,000 employes. "The research nnd scientific work of nearly all those bureaus which were ex panded to satisfy war needR will be con tinued in largo measure and the oppor tunities for service nnd advancement will be accordingly Increased." Pleads for Co-operation Mr. Wales pleaded for completo co operation between educational institu tions and tho government, so that nn adequate supply of trained men nnd women could be obtained for public service. Tho commissioner urged thnt colleges nnd tcchnlcnl schools encourage their' best students and graduates to outer J trnvernment service. "If nnlv ns a train ing ground for their future profes-ional careers." Mr. Wales said he wns speaking for the greatest employer in the world, "but one who is regarded by many ns the poorest of employers the United States Government." He condemned criticism of tho gov ernment on the ground that it is not managed in n businesslike way when the criticism was coupled with an unwilling ness to help bring nbout nn efficient con duct of government business. Jinny highly trnined men in gove ernment service, he continued, are plar- ing public l0" nb tninable in privnte employment.

"I did not steal Catherine on Wed nesday," Mrs. Scanlon said Inter. "When I was divorced from Arthur Hibbs, her fnthcr, the courts did not give him the custody of our child.

"I hope," tho Governor added, "that Delaware, the littlo state to the south of us, tho first to ratify tho constltulon, will yet be the deciding state for com plete ratification." The state executive pointed out tlint twenty-eight of the thirty-five stntcs which have approved the amendment so far arc Republican states. Many representative men as well an women were nt the meeting as the Gov ernor spoke. "I om glad to sec so many irrccon cilablcs or 'bitter-enders' here," he de clared, with a smile. "They are not only accepting the situation, but accept ing It Joyously nnd glndly. If it had rpt been for certain formalities Pennsyl vania would hnve been the second or third commonwealth tp ratify instead of the seventh." Discussing legislators and public of ficials, the Governor said they repre sent; the sentiments of those active in politics. "If you want to ralso the chnractcr of your officials," he said, "you must ralso tho character of the electorate thnt put them In office." United States Senator Irvine L. Lcn root. of Wisconsin, declared that wom en should be welcomed iu the Senate and tho House of Representatives. It would be u good thing for Congress, he snid, to have women members of poise, education and public spirit. ami- western senator iook n uing nt President Wilson. Scores "U. S. Autoracy" "Wo have won n great war," he said, "but wo have not ncace. Wo hnvo do- stroyed the German autocracy, but we have permitted to be built up at home a greater autocracy than that destroy ed." He took exception, he said, to Pres ident Wilson's claim thnt America en tered the war to preserve democracy. The United States, the senator con tended, entered the great conflict for liberty and was not concerned with pre serving tho territory or forms of gov ernment in Europe. Senntor Lenroot asserted the Repub lican party is rcadv to moot tho Domn. cratic party on the peace trcnty Issue if President Wilson succeeds in having his party make the treaty an issue. He doubted tho President would succeed. "Senators and renresontntives In Congress," he continued, "arc no longer terrified by mandates from the White House. When edicts come down as 'thus says the President' there is no longer tho tendency to obey without question." Shall women use the same polls n men? Thnt was the question under discus sion nt a preliminary meeting today nt fiOO South Broad street of the women's committee. Mrs. J. Willis Mnrtlii pre sided. While it was brought out at the mcctiuc that manv nf the nreuent nnll. ing places, such ns cignr stores and bar ber shops, would be unfavorable to women voters, it was the consensus of opinion that to nrrange for separate polling places would prove too great an expense. It wus nlso made plain that to insist on separate polling places would be n move to antagonize the men. Mrs. Martin, in urging that a Re publican be elected President, pointed out thnt the country now has more problems to solve than ever before. nnd that the proper Solution of these I proiuoms wus to put a man of a highly progressive type in the White House.
