COMMISSIONERS
John A. Mcllhenny
President
Charles M. Calloway
Hertnon W. Craven
United States Civil Serv
ice Commission
Washington, D. C.
July 12, '17.
To the Principal:
The United States Government needs and needs badly, great num
bers of stenographers and typewriters, both men and women, for
service in the departments at Washington, D. C, and the situation
in Federal offices outside of Washington is scarcely less urgent.
The supply of qualified persons on the Commission's lists for this
class of work is not equal to the demand, and the Commission
urges, as A PATRIOTIC DUTY, that citizen with this special
knowledge apply for examination for the Government service. At
present all who pass the examination for the Departmental Service
are certified for appointment. Examination papers are rated without
delay. ,
Examinations for the Departmental Service In Washington, D. C,
for both men and women, are held every Tuesday in 400 of the
principal cities. Examinations for the Field Service (positions out
side of Washington, D. C), are held frequently. The usual en
trance salary ranges from $900 to $1,200 a year. Advancement
of capable employes is reasonably rapid. Applicants must have
reached their eighteenth birthday on the date of the examination.
The typewriter part of the examination has been changed by the
omission of the copying and spacing test and the addition of the
subject of Spelling.
The Commission will appreciate your assistance in bringing this
need of the Government to the attention of possible applicants.
Student just starting a course of study may be informed that
there ia now practically no limit to the number of stenographers
and typewriters the Government needs and, that while, of course,
no absolute assurance as to the future can be given, there is no
present prospect that the demand will be materially less at an
early date; in other words, the Commission believes that the study
of stenography and typewriting by a great number of person with
the view of entering the government service will be justified.
By direction of the Commission.
Yours Respectfully,
(Signed) John A. Mcllhenny, Pre.
The above is a copy of a letter just received by me. Informa
tion concerning Omaha examinations can be had by applying to the
Department of Civil Service, Federal Building, 16th and Dodge Sts.,
Omaha. Please assist the Government by spreading the foregoing
information among stenographers and those qualified to fit them
selves for Government Service.

gestcd the idea to the American Game
Protective association. An appeal was
made to Wallace Evans of St.
Charles, 111., a large breeder of game
birds, who agreed to supply the school
with all the necessary stock to start
breeding ring-neck pheasants, mal
lard ducks and gray call ducks.
Those interested in the problems of
increasing the wild lite of this coun
try, game species particularly, have
come to the conclusion that best re
suits can be achieved principally in
two ways. The first is through the
intensive production of species under
captive conditions and the second by
the setting aside of areas, usually
known as sanctuaries, where wild life
will be undisturbed at all times, and
where it will receive protection ami
food, when the stress of weather is
such that it cannot be had otherwise.
It is contended that the work of
the Gary schools will afford an op-
porututy for technical instruction
along this branch of wild life conser
vation to boys and girls when their
minds are in a particularly receptive
condition to ideas of this sort. The
experiment will be watched with in
test by sportsmen and thousands of
others who are interested in wild life
conservation. New York Fost.

July 22. Another large group of
American officers left the camp today
to witness lighting demonstrations
similar to those attended by General
