Tin of Army Bacon Nearly 90,000 Needed To Collect These Statistics. Honorably discharged soldiers, sailors or marines will he employed as far as possible by the government in taking the 1920 census. The Uni ted States Civil Service commission issued the following call to the "War Department today: Nearly ninety thousand persons will be engaged in the work of col lecting the facts and figures about Uncle Sam's gi?ajitic family after January 2, 1920, as that is the date set for beginning the enumeration of the population of the United States. In this project nearly eighty, thou sand workers will be engaged in field work, while the balance will comprise the "Washington office force, where the tabulation, classification and statistical work will be donu from the information secured from representatives of the Census Bureau in the field. In this, as In every other Govern ment activity, soldiers, sailors ana marines vill be given preference in appointments. This is accomplished by giving all service men preference on the eligible list of the Civil Service register. The majority of the appoint ments of the Census Bureau are gov erned by the Civil Service rules and regulations and the Civil Service Commissioner announces an examin ation for Census Bureau clerks on October IS and November 15. This Is made possible as a result of the Veteran Preference Bill re cently passed by Congress, which gives precedence in original appoint ments in clerical and other positions In the Executive branch of the Gov ernment In the District of Columbia and elsewhere to honorably discharg ed service men, or their widows, and to the wives of Injured soldiers, sail ors or marines who themselves are not qualified, but whose wives are. The office of the Assistant to the Secretary of War has issued this bul letin: "Ex-servlce men who desire such appointments should make inquiry at the local Board of Examiners of the Civil Service In their city, where full information will be obtained. There are 3,000 of these boards, one in nearly every city of flip United States. Men living to communities were there are no boards should write the near est one or to the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington. D.

Do not think that salad dressing which has curdled is of no use. It can easily be restored to its creamy state by using an egg beater and beating It for p. few minutes. Do not allow a perfectly good cook book to have its cover ruined by slid ing all over the kitchen table. Cover it with parafine paper. Thus you will be able to see the lettering upon the book, the real cover will be saved and htit food products will ha caj?a.blo of fastening themselves to the cook book cover. If you wish to prolong the life of your new earthenware casserole, soak it in cold water for at least 24 hours before you put It In the oven or over a gas flame. Treated in this way, it will last a. great , while longer than it would otherwise. Be cl commentator on your own cook book. In the margin insert op posite your tried, recipes the cost of all the Ingredients, also any special amendments you, ftnl by experience improve the recipes. This will be a big aid for efficiency. If you want to bake potatoes' in a hurry, pour boiling water over them and let them stand a few minutes be fore putting them in the oven to bake.

Maria Mitchell, the American as tronomer, was born on the island of Nantucket, in 1818. She was of a Quaker family. In the dull and precise life of the town her soul found vent in dwelling in celestial spaces. She was the first woman who discovered a ."telescopic cornet' (1847) Invisible to the naked eye, thus anticipating the observers of E.urope and America. The royal medal of Denmark was bestowed upon her. , She went to Europe, and met Sir John Herschel and Humboldt. Upon her return the women of Amer ica presented her with a large tele scope, and she was appointed Pro fessor of Astronomy at Vassar Col lege (1865). She was the first woman to: be elected to the American Acad emy of Arts. Advertise in The Times If r
