Woman Gives Advice on
Seeking Word in Wash
ingtonToo Low Salaries
Deplored.
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.
Started In 1900
Miss Johnston started out In a
government Job in Washington
July 17, 1900, with Dr. Elwood
Mead, director of the Irrigation
and Drainage Section under the
Department of Agriculture. She
was ciassea as ure
She had come to Washington
from her home in Cheyenne,
Wyo., and in 1907 she returned
ment of Underground Water
Supplies. . , .
In 1914 she returned to Wash
ington, with Public Roads Ad
ministration, and was promoted
to personnel director four years
later. She set up one of the best
personnel branches in the gov
ernment, without previous ex
perience In personnel training.
Sice then she has trained scores
of chief clerks in the 14 PRA
district offices from Albany to
Seattle.
"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. (U.B Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Melnick sent
their contribution to the war
metal drive consisting of
brass mortar and pestle and a
copper mixing bowl which had
come into the possession of their
family 162 years ago direct to
President Roosevelt. They were
afraid that if they were turned
into the community pile, some
one might grab them off for
their value as antiques. They
were the choicest heirlooms of
the Melnick family.

Pictured here is the "Mosquito," Britain's new twin-engined reconnaissance bomber. De
veloped by the De Havilland design office staff. It Is of simple wood construction and lends
itself to widely dispersed manufacture. In the "tight little Isle" that Is Britain's homeland
and production base, airplane factories are many and small, so that even the best-directed air
raid will not cripple output.
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."
An automatic X-ray machine
is used bv aircraft companies to
search out weak spots in air
plane bodies.
I NEW RULES FOR

them were in transit. Magazines
