Britain Has New Wooden Bomber Washington (U.F9 Miss Augus ta F. Johnston, who recently retired after working 42 years for the government, thinks the government offers great deal of opportunity for young people. "But," she added, "I seriously question the advisability of girls coming here to work for 11,440 a year. A few come at $1,260. and it is too bad. Cost of living, food, and rent are too high. Small salaries donf go very far." For the girl seeking a career in the government, Miss John ston, who was personnel direc tor for the Public Roads Admin istration from 1918, laid down these rules: Do an A-l Job. Take responsibility for the work you do. Go to church to maka your friends. Be neat. No dirty fingernails or twisted stocking seams. Put up a good personal ap pearance. If a government girl follows these simple rules. Miss John ston said she is pretty certain to win promotions.

"Morale of government work ers will always be high if their supervisors study the individual first, then assign them work they will be responsible for. They want to feel the work they do is Important." "SCRAP" SENT Santa Rosa, Cal.

ASSAILS WAR SONGS Los Angeles, Cal. (U.PJ The failure of the present war to in spire any "good" war songs is attributed by Dr. Walter H. Rubsamen, professor of music at the University of California, to the fact that the American mu sical ear has become so educat ed to Jazz and syncopated rhythms that straight martial songs no longer appeal to it "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" and 'The Fuehr er's Face" mark, the high-water mark of war song production to date, he said, "and a very sorry one at that."
