oughly converted to believe In its
wonderful Influence couldl they have
attended the story hour last Thursday
morning. Nearly one hundred chil
dren followed their leaders up Sec
ond street behind a banner which
reaed: "Follow Us to the Story
Hour." And nearly one hundred
eager faces listened to the stories
given by Aunt Este, and joined in
the community singing in such style
that the older community singers
would have stood abashed, and the
games—well, there was "some fun."
Mrs. KefTer, the president of the league

that a number of officers in the
Quartermasters' | 'orps lfasponslblec
for placing contracts continue to
hold positions illegally.
A large number of officers par
ticularly In the Quartermasters'
Corps, are said to have been given
omissions through the influence of
their former emplopes. These of

others similarlp situated and it Is
charged that certain companies or

Another reform being yorked out
in Washington as a result of dis

gradual elimination of men assist

the papment of adequate salaries
on which thep can live without re
sorting to compensation from spe
