SETS ASIDE THE RULES. President Makes Appointment and Reinstatement to Clerkships, An executive order authorizes the appointment af Mrs. Georgl: Butts as a clerk at $1.200 & the Interior Department “w examination under the civil service rules.” The Becretary of the Interior recommended Mrs. Butts' appointment in the Bureau of fons “in view of her qualification shown In_her service with the ch High Com- mission.” The Civil Service Commis- sion did not concur in this sppoint- ment. The President also has authorized the reinstatement of Mrs. Nellle J. Latta (formerly Nellle W. Jenkins) to a clerkship in the classified service “without regard to civil service rules.” Mrs. Latta is serving as o temporary clerk in the Post Office Department.

LINDSAY S. PERKINS, —— Ing house for the stwabilization of ex- change and iInternational commerce generally, briefly outlined In The Star recently, opens up a vista of Wash- Ington’s future growth and greatness and encourages the hope that some day the National Capital will really come into its own. It will be fitting and timely if these fmportant matters are brought up at the November conference. Disarma- ment, when carried out properly, will mean a shifting of forces from de- structive into constructive lines. In- stead of tearing down, the nations of the world will be engaged in building up. Energies always existing and al- Wways to exist will be directed in new and beneficent channels. Some stings may remain, but they will be those of bees and not of scorpions or serpents. If bees wish to store up their honey, they must select the safest Possible hive for that purpose. Every great enterprise must have a pivota For many years, in your , the writer has urged the establishment of a world clearing house at ‘Washington in connection with a permanent international ex- hibition in which each state shall have its individual part, and each Join with its domestic and foreign neighbor in building up such a center of ex- change of business, scientific and other information that a secure level of trade and useful knowledge will be established for the mutual good of all concerned, and in this case that means all humanity. The experience gained from the world war has proved to most think- ing people that the power and influ- ence of the United States in the world are paramount, and this power and this ‘influence have been gained our ability to “deliver the goods," money ‘or_in_helpful co-operation for the best interests of mankind. There is but one authoritative center in the United States, and that is ‘Washing- ton. And the reasons are many why the proposed and very necessary world clearing house should be estab- lished here and nowhere else. Here the atmosphere is not tainted with selfish business interests; here no great speculations in money and material are going on, and no plots the touch with our government' rect and immediate. The writer hopes that the best thought and talent in this country will be exercised between now and next November to devise ways and means for the establishment in this city of such a center cf financial, com- |- mercial and other useful and neces- sary information and exchange as will make it a clearing house for the world’s commerce and Industry. Nothing else would so quickly restore international credit and business. The markets and the raw materials, the skill to make and the will to do are as much in existence as at any time. IMMIGRANTS INCREASE. 805,228 Admitted to U. 8. During Past Year. There were admitted to the United States during the fiscal year ended June 30. immigrants to the number of 805,228, as compared with 430,001 for the previous year, and an average of 1,034,940 during the pre-war years from 1910 to 1914, according to fig- ures issued today by the bureau of immigration.
