How a popular co-ed with her state university diploma not yet framed becomes a “hired girl” in various Seattle homes; how she battles with unfamiliar mops, recipes and polishes; how she com- forts weeping infants, prepares gruels for aged invalids and attends to the 1001 duties that the American housewife exacts of her maid of-all-work is here set down: By Wanda Von Kettler WAS graduated from the University of Washington on Monday of last week. Since then I have held down three general housework jobs and applied for as many more. This is how I became a “hired girly’ I wanted to work on The Star, so on Tuesday, the day after commencement, I applied for a job. On Wednesday the editor put me to work—I say work, and I mear it. “We'll give you four days’ trial,” he said. “Get into some old clothes, and decide you need to find housework mighty badly. Hold down as many jobs as you can, then come back and tell me your experiences. Shades of a misspent life! There was one thing I neglected when majoring in journalism at the univer- sity; I forgot to take a course in kitchen mechanics, YET HERE WAS I, TOLD TO WRESTLE MY WAY THRU THE NEWSPAPER LINES WITH A SCRUB- BING BRUSH AND A MOP! + * + T 9:30, arrayed in slightly dilapidated clothing and clutching the classified advertising section of The Star in my hand, I started out as “Sadie Goff—in search of general housework.” To a housewife on Queen Anne Hill who had advertised for help I first presented myself. She decreed immediately that I was too young to man- age two children, a seven-room house, and an electric stove. She wanted someone about 40 years of age. Hope for Her; She’s Aging Fast “But I’m getting older every day,” I told her, “and I like children. And as for the electric stove—well, I’ve used an electric iron and a toaster——” “Um,” she interrupted thoughtfully, “they don’t work Do you go out much?” “No,” I assured her; “just to church occasionally, and sometimes the socials.” “That's all right,” she said, “as long as you’re not too religious. Now the last girl I had went to prayer meeting four times a week, so she was out a lot more than she was in. Have you references?” “Oh, yes, mum.” And I gave her the address and ’phone ‘Turn to Last Page, Column 2) ueen Anne’ Hl GILL IS DEAD Expires Suddenly After Operation; Mother, Helpless, Looks On Marshall Gill, youngest son of the late Hiram C. Git, dropped dead in the office of Dr. E. J. Stubbs, oculing and aurist, in the Cobb building, Saturday morning and was cremated Sunday, it was learned Monday. Death in said to have been due either to a small blood clot on the brain or an air bubble in a blood ves- wel, It occurred following an opera ton for removal of the tonsils. MOTHER HELPLESS WITNESS OF DEATH Mra. Maud M. Gill, widowed mother of the patient, was present during the operation and was a helpless wit: nema ofihis death. was 18.

Some of his work won mert- torious recognition at the Beaux Arts exhibit in Parts. At 11 o'clock Saturday Mre. Gill and her son went to the doctor's of- fice. The operation, said by sur- geons to be simple in itself, had been performed with apparent suc- cess. As they were leaving the of fice the young man fell lifeless be- side his mother. DEATH AN ACCIDENT, SAYS FAMILY PHYSICIAN “It was an accident,” said Dr. J. 8. McBride, who-has for years been the Gil family physician. “It was un- avoidable.” i “It was not exactly an accident,” said Dr. Stubbs. “The same thing might happen in any such case. But it shouldn't be mentioned in the papers. If it is it will only frighten parents whose children's tonsils have to be removed. Tonsils often have to be taken out, you know.” Funeral services were held. at 2 p. im. Sunday at Bonney-Watson's, Immediately after, the body was cremated, as was that of the young man's father, who bad been severa’ times mayor of Seattle, several years ago, Besides Mrs. Gill, his mother, Mar shall leaves a brother, Stanley, They reaide at 5241 2ist ave. N. E. | DOCTOR NOT BLAMED BY THE FAMILY Mrs. Joseph 8. Major, sister of Mrs. Gill and aunt of the young man who died, asked The Star to- day to say that the family is unant- mous in feeling that Dr, Stubbs was in no wise to blame for the death. “Marshall himself wanted the op eration,” said «he, “and its fatal out- come is no reflection on Dr, Stubbs | or hig professional ability. It is one | of those unfortunate incidents that | would occur only once in thousands of such operations. “The doctor was naturally pros trated, and his friends are deeply grieved both by the death and by the unjust conclusion which they fear some people might draw from the facts.

Those same kids are the real fans of tomorrow and a lot of them wouldn't be able to see the Indians in action if they had to pay even 11 cents. Baseball is the great American game and “‘kids’ day” is a fine way to boost it, Good sportsmanship, Bill! CHIEF SEATTLE. To You Folks Who Are Finding Taxes Too High All of You: I noticed one day Inst week King county had $4,040,- 110.05 on deposit in Seattle banks. This draws 2 per cent interest, or $80,802.20 a year, But if King county wamted to borrow that much money from the bank, the bank would charge the county § per cent, if the loan were made at all. At 8 per cent the interest would be $323,208.80. If I were you, suffering from high taxes, I'd figure out some way to save that $242,406.60 difference. CHIEF SEATTLE To Champion Jack Dempsey Ol4 Shipbullder I read recently that there are a whole flock of summer tourists bothering you for your autograph. Now be careful, Jack, old boy, and don’t overwork yourself. I know several boxers who can reduce a pound every time they sign their name. CHIEF SEATTLE. To Producers of “The Bat” Dear Theatrical Men: Your publicity man writes that “The Bat,” written by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, in its 325 performances in New York without # single vacant seat and its 200th in Chicago has brought tnto your exchequer a cool million dollars. All of which proves the public will pay for things worth while. Let's have more stage plays of real class. CHIEF SEATTLE. To Roy Gardner, Bandit Extraordinary Dear Prison Inmate: “The paths of glory lead but to the grave,” wrote one poet. In your case it might fittingly be said that the path- way of the evildoer leads always to @ prison cell, A man cannot con- _spistenUy wrong bis fellowmen without incurring the penalty, Fate may be slow, but she is sure, CHIEF SEATTLE, To the Park Board Gentlemen: When you “economize” on band concerts, do you really kid yourself—and the rest of us? Wagner, the pioneer band man, tells me you do. He points out that in the old days, when the Yesler and Madison car lines were separate, privately-owned institutions, each one found it highly profitable business to hire expensive bands to give free concerts at the lake end of the respective lines. The profits, of course, came in the extra fares that the lines collected. Now the city owns all the ear lines. Wagner argues that, even more than in the old days, would the city profit by giving concert series. This sounds rational to me. What's your answer? CHIEF SEATTLE. To Robert S. Wilson Lumber Co. Dear Sirs: I read your little circular letter on Lake Union. It was a frank advertisement, BUT INTERESTING, (By the way, I believe @ lot of 1921 advertising if among our most readable ilterature.) I thought I knew a good deal about Seattle's most central lake, but, say, you packed more facts onto one sheet of letterhead than a lot of letter writers get into a fat envelope. Hope you induce 60 factories a year to locate there, CHIEF SEATTLE. To Restaurateurs and Boarding House Impresarios Dear Grub-slingers: Did you ever stop to consider that the open bow! of toothpicks is a prime auditorium for hobo bacilli? That every time a grubby finger descends into the bowl to claw a molar-sliver, 1, 237,569,385,023,478 germs leap from the digit to the remaining tooth- picke? Why not employ some form of closed re tacle for the pick: The public drinking cup disappeared years ago. CHIEF SEATTLE. To Motormen of Westlake Ave. Street Cars Boys: While there are a couple of stop signs for stregt cars north- bound on Westlake ave, between Pine and Roy streets, don't you think it would be safer to operate your cars at a less rate of speed between these stops, especially during the heavy traffic rush? There is a pretty good grade from Pine street to Lake Union, which make speed- ing dangerous. There is plenty of opportunity for “making time around Lake Union, if that is necessary, CHIEF SEATTLE. To Sound Steamboat “Owners Dear Magnates: Don't you think that 36 and 40 cents is an exorbi- tant price to charge for a seven- or nine-mile ride? Most of the com- muting public does. CHIEF SEATTLE. To Beach Rovers Dear Friends; Did you know that the mating season of Puget Sound clams begins early in the spring, about the same time as park benches begin to be populated with lovers? And did you know that the baby clam—if it can be so called—swims quite actively thru the water, and that after a little while it begins to develop a tiny bivalve shell, and that when this shell gets heavy the clam sinks to the bottom, settles down, and eventually starts to raise more clams? Ain't nature won- derful? CHIEF SEATTLE. To the Wayfarer Chorus Dear Chorus: Glad to see that you selected Prof, Edmond 8. Meany to act as prolocutor. This “grand old man” of the University, with his sturdy, erect figure and strong, resonant voice, will be a picturesque and fitting addition to the spectacle, as he explains thru the amplifier the various episodes as they are presented, CHIEF SEATTLE.
