But Captain Kdmondstone did not want it deducted. He said the services were performed under the di rection of the committee on proper ties." ' It was not stated what kind of serv ices the janitors performed for the overtime pay. i'This brings up again the question of taking away from the properties department all the bookkeeping, aaid Chairman Frank Shull. "We have got too much bookkeep ' ing." said Director Thomas. Shull appointed the business and properties committees to work out' a Change - in the system that will place ail the bookkeeping in "the clerk's .'office where It belonfirs."

Portland has -more men than womenJ The department of oomrnerce,' Wash ington, D. O, has Just, released figures showing that when, you divide all the persons above, 15 years 'of age in the city on the basis of sex, males are 5S41 In the majority. . Cynical philosophers say this is the reason why there- is so high a stand ard of chivalry in the Rocky mountain and West coast states. They point out that in practically all the. other sections of the country, especially In New England, there are as many women as men, and in these sections women are treated more casually. Portland, with its census population of 258,288, has 102,381 males 15 years old and over, and 96,504 females 15 years old and over.' Of the males. 59,738. or 58.3 per cent, are married, and of the females, 58.533, or 60.7 per cent, are married. The de partment does not attempt to account for this discrepancy, but some legally married people do not live together. According to the census, Portland has 4260 widowers. 11,037 widows. 2596 divorced men and 2931 divorced women. Of the persons 45 years or over, there were 5367 single man and 1758 single women.
