And then mmj pomica, and social actlvltle, and are employees of Uncle Sam holding 5elonel t0 c,ubg ,n London, Parlf aDd dir responsible positions. One group of clever women who at-tract the attention of visitors has been dubbed the "Presidential Appointees." To be sure, some have been appointed by members of the President's cabinet and some by the District of Columbia commissioners. But some have been appointed by the President and di-rectly or Indirectly he has hnd a band In all the appointments. Then are 13 of these "Uncle Sam's Fair Aids." Once a week most of these "Fair Aids" may be found lunching at the clubhouse of the American Associa-tion of University Women. They are usually "talking shop" which Is to say, they are discussing subjects per-taining to their work. In the group will probably be seen Mrs. Helen Ham-ilton Gardener, one of the three civil service commissioners; Mrs. Mpbel Walker Wlllebrandt, an assistant at-torney general of the Department of Justice; Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the children's bureau of the Depart-ment of Labor; Dr. Louise Stanley, chief of the bureau of home economics of the Department of Agriculture; Miss Lucy Mlnnegerode, bead of the nurse corps of the bureau of public health service of the Treasury department, and Miss Mary Anderson, director of the women's bureau of the Department of Labor whose portraits are given herewith. Others who are usually to be found at this weekly luncheons Include these : Miss Luclle Atcherson of the gov-ernment foreign service ; Judge Mnry OToole of the municipal court and Judge Kathryn Sellers of the juvenile court of the District of Columbia ; Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor of the rent com-mission, of the District; Mrs. Bessie Brueggeman, chairman of the federal employee's compensation commission ; Mrs. Mina Van Winkle, lieutenant of the metropolitan police force; MaJ. Julia Stimson, head of the Array Nurse corps; Miss Beatrice Bowman, head of the Navy Nurse corps, and Miss Anita Phlpps of the social service work under the jurisdiction of the War de-partment . Who's the ranking lady! Can't say. Civil Service Commissioner Gardener must be in the front rimk. Anyway, (he's the first woman civil service commis-sioner we ever had. The commission examines annually about 800,000 appli-cants for classified federal government positions and has about 875 employees t Washington and In the field. Commissioner Gardener's real name Is Mra. Selden Allen Day, for she married Colonel Day, an army officer, In 1001. So, although she has been married twice she Is not known by the name of either husband or by her maiden name. The name she uses Is Rome. She Is considered an author-ity on heredity and Is the author of six works, the best known of which Is "Men, Women and Gods." She was appointed ln 1920. In the Department of Justice there Is a solicitor general, .who assists the attorney general. Then" there is an assistant to the attorney general, who has special charge of all matter arising under the federal anti-tru- and Inter-state commerce laws. Then there are five assistant attorneys general, of whom Mrs. Wlllebrandt Is one. She Is a California woman, ln her early thirties, and Is said to be a second Portia. Anyway, It la her duty to pre-sent before tbe Supreme court of the United States all matters of jurisdic-tion concerning prisoners, prohibition. Internal revenue laws, evasion of In-come tax, smuggling of liquor, minor acts to regulute commerce, and a few other matters. Miss Grace Abbott comes from Ne-braska and succeeded Miss Julia Lathrop, the first head of the children's bureau. The act establishing this bu-reau provides that It shall Investigate and report upon all matters pertaining to the welfare of children and child life, especially Infant mortality, the birth rate, orphanage, juvenile courts, desertion, dangerous occupations, and legislation. Miss Abbott had good training for several years ln social work at Hull House, Chicago, under Miss Jane Addams. Dr. Louise Stanley Is from Tennes-see and was appointed Inst fall. Her bureau Is a new one and was estab-lished for the extension of the study of problems pertaining to the home. Head Nurse Mlnnegerode serves under Surgeon General Hugh S. Gumming, whose service covers many activities spread among seven divisions. Miss Mary Anderson yields the palm to none of the 13 In variety of personal experience. She was born ln Sweden. At sixteen she came to the United States, and her first employment was as a housemaid. Later she entered the garment-makin- g industry at West Pullman, Chicago. Then she was In a spool factory for 18 years. Then she was elected as the representative of women In the National Boot and Shoe Workers' union, which took her all over the country as an organizer. Early ln the World war she was sent to Washington to serve In the Women-In-Industr- y division under the National Defense Advisory committee, and later she was made assistant to Miss Marie Van Kleeck, who headed the service, which Inter crystallized Into the wom-an's bureau, of which Miss Van Kleeck was the first chief. Miss Anderson succeeded Miss Van Kleeck In 1919, and has bad the position since. Miss highest a competitive examination three summers ago ln Washington. Judge OToole la a good demonstra-tion of energy and ability. As an Im-migrant girl she came to this country not so very long ago and, as a member of the American Bar association, she revisited the scenes of her childhood last summer,, when she went over pri-marily to attend the Bar association meetings in London. Judge Sellers Is the first woman to hold a federal judgeship. She was born In Ohio and went to Washington early. For about 10 years she held the position of assistant In tbe library of the Department of State, and for a while was with the Carnegie Endow-ment for International Peace. Mrs. Taylor Is a busy womun these days, for Washington has an acute housing shortage and rents are a de-cidedly live Issue, with everyone tak-ing a band. Mrs. Brueggeman Is said to be the only woman who has been chairman of a federal commission. Tbe act of congress establishing thla commission assures compensation to all civil em-ployees of the federal government who sustain personal Injuries while u the discharge of their duties provided, etc. This woman's duties are largely Judicial; she Is a judge without tbe title. Mrs. Brueggeman was born ln Illinois and married a man of St. Louts. Mrs. Brueggeman had given her time largely to society until the war, when she discovered sho had unguessed ability as an organizer. She was tbe moving force of the Red Cross Motor corps ln St. Louis. I!er war work and her social connections resulted In her being chosen ln 1919 as committee-woma-n from Missouri on tbe Repub-lican national committee. Mrs. Mina Van Winkle formerly lived In New Jersey where she en-gaged ln social service work. During the World war she joined Herbert Hoover's forces In the food campaign. Then she took charge of the women's section of the Washington police force. She Is president of tbe International Association of Police Women. Major Stimson, head of the Army Nurse corps, Is the first and only American woman to have the rank, Insignia and the rights that go with the rank of major In the United States army. Miss Stimson headed the army nurses when the A. K. F. went to France. She went nearer the first-lin- e trenches and No Man's Land than any other American woman, and upon her return to her country she was given the Distinguished Service Medal for her valor, and was made a major. It's a saying In Washington that Ma-jor Stimson Is the best looking officer ln the United States army. Past It around after every meaL Give the family the benefit of Its aid to digestion.

A love triangle which makea Father Time look foolish waa brought to light In the Municipal court in Des Moines the other day. John Dlgglns, forty-on- e years old, a husbaud aeemlngly caught between the devil and the deep blue sea of too much romance, and two flappers whose re-spective ages range from cradle to the grave, played the principal roles. Dlgglns was haled Into court at the Instance of his wife, Ellen Digging, and his daughter-in-law- , Louise O'Brien, on a charge of threatening to commit a public offense after he Is alleged to have deserted the two woti-e- n for a girl whose name waa not revealed. He was held for trial and committed to Jull In de-fault of $.'100 bond, where he declnres he will spend his time singing the "Too Many Mamma Blues." Ninety-Nin- e and Bobbed. Still vigorous despite her ninety-nin- e years, Mrs. Dlgglns violently shook her bobbed gray locks when asked If she still loved her errant husband. "I am through with him," she declared. "There are plenty more men In the world." Dlgglns admitted at the city jail that he had been "driven to drinking canned heat" through the Intensity of Ills emo-- Haled Into Court v. tlonal affairs, "as," be philosophised, "often happens ln the case of men who Include women ln their business." He denied, however, the allegations made by his wife and daughter-in-la- He said that be had had nothing to do with other women, but that his wife had often "stepped out" on him. "They don't get too old to run around," he said. A Lass of Ninety-Fiv- There was some divergence ln the stories told by Dlgglns and his wife re-garding the cruise of the matrimonial bark since their marriage. She stated that they became wedded four years ago at the close of a whirlwind court-ship when she was but ninety-fiv- e years old. This Dlgglns denies, declar-ing that the wedding occurred two years ago and that be was forced Into the agreement by bis wife's eon and daughter-in-law- . "I never loved her and now I am through with her for good," he declared. Mrs. Dlgglns alleges that her hut-ban-left her about a month ago, tak-ing a quantity of her clothes and other belongings which he gave to his youth-ful sweetheart. Dlgglns said he left because he could no longer stand her abusive treatment of him. "Once she got mad and broke up a brand new cook stove and at an-other time she had me arrested for shooting firecrackers In my own house," he said. Loud Speaker and How It Operates Unit and Horn Are Regard ed as Essential Parts of Instrument By FRANK REICHMANN, B. S. A raldo loud apeaker consists of two parts, the --unit" and the "horn." The unit consists of an electro-magne- t, with a vibrator ar-rangement, and a diaphragm. The electro-magne- t, acting either through a vibrator or directly on the dia-phragm, causes the diaphragm to vi-brate. This motion causes the air to vibrate, and these Impulses, when they strike the car, create sound. The horn serves to amplify these air vi-brations to create louder Bounds. Where Sound Originates. In considering the construction of loud speakers it Is well to deal first with the unit, as It la here that the sound originates. The loud speaker unit and the single headphone are fundamentally the same. The head-phone Is designed to give a very slight Impulse to the diaphragm and the loud speaker unit la constructed to give as strong an Impulse aa possible and to handle very violent vibrations faith-fully and accurately. The sketch shows the arrangement of parte In an earphone or telephone type of loud speaker unit. "A" Is the coll of wire connected by the phone cords to the output of the recelvliTg set. "B" Is the soft Iron core around which the colls are wound. "C" Is the soft Iron diaphragm. "D" Is the shell holding the various parts. "K" Is the ear piece or cap of the unit. "F" Is the permanent magnet. Pulsating current from the receiving set In passing through the coll "A" sets up magnetism In core "B." Core "B" attracts the diaphragm "C" with more or less force, substantially In Cross Section View of Loud Speaksr Unit; Magnets, Colla. proportion to the current flowing through the coll. As this current varies In strength It causes the diaphragm to vibrate back and forth. These vi-brations produce sound waves. Unit Works Efficiently. This type of unit works efficiently on moderate slgnuls. On strong sig-nals the diaphragm Is apt to vibrate violently and strike the tip of the pole pieces, causing It to either "freeze" or to make an unpleasant rattling sound. In the case of weak signals the greatest volume Is derived when the space between the diaphragm and the pole piece tips Is small. The reason for this Is that the magnetism In-duced ln the cores causes the dia-phragm to vibrate, and the closer the distance between the poles of the; magnets and the diaphragm the stronger this action becomes. A good many units using thia general prin-ciple have aome means of adjusting this air space, making It greater or lesa as the occasion demands. On weak signals this air gap can be made very small and the volume of th loud speaker increased. On powerful sig-nals this gap can be increased to pre-vent the diaphragm from striking the magnets.

Iron Splinter Drawn From Eye by Magnet Berlin. An iron splinter, one milli-meter long, was recently removed from the eye of a locksmith with the aid of a gigantic magnet The splinter bad been In the patient's eye for three months before It could be located. Eleven sittings, ln each of which the splinter, in a remote corner of the eye, wa brought forward a little farther, were necessary to complete the opera-tion. - Doctor Panderborn, the oculist ln charge, was particularly concerned about removing the splinter, as the locksmith bad lost one eye 30 years ago through a similar mishap.
