DREAMING.

1 hate to read OF milhonaires
Because such reading seems
To hypnotic me utterly
And start me dreaming dreap1a
How many times I've figured out
What I'd be apt to do
II were in that fellows place
And had a million, too.
OF course, ro use my fortune wei;
More sensibly than he,
For I'd give ten per cent at least
To worthy charity.
Another ten per cent would 90
To hslp along a few
OF my deserving relatives
Whose bills are overdue.
And then my duty to the church;
OF course, a soodly share
Say. twenty-five per cent or So
Would be devoted there.
I'd give this latter quietly,
Insisting that my name
Must be withheld. that none might know
Whence this donation came.
I'd only let the pastor know
He'd have : know you see
Because my name upon the cheek
Would show It was from me-
Another twenty-five per cent
- Would do myself and wife;
The income we'd derive from that
Would keep Us both for life.
Then. after that-well. after that
dream away and plan
To spend still other ten per cent
To help my fellowman.
And finally my dreaming gets
A bit confused. and then
/ take a tumble and my feet
Touch solid earth again;
Ard common s7nse assures me as
II stops me with a Jerk,

The Saturday Half Holiday.

The Federal Employees Union of the
District, yesterday renewed its efforts
toward obtaining a Saturday half hol-
iday during the entire year. In ap-
peals sent out to the Cabinet members
they cite specific reasons why the
concession should be granted.
The principal reasons put forth are:
The government grants half holiday
during the summer when the work in
the departments is heaviest because
Of the ending of the fiscal year and
because a number of employees are
taking their vacations during the hot
months, making extra work for those
on duty. The fact that the holidays
were continued this past summer de-
spite the fact that the country is at
war and work has increased CORE
spondingly. The fact that the Attor-
ney General and the Comptroller of
the Treasury have both ruled that
Saturday afternoon is a legal holiday
in the District.
The foregoing are certainly logical
reasons for granting audience to the
union and there is nothing one-sidcd
about the plea. In fact the appeal is
both modest and broad in it's Ian
guage, as it specifically states that the
request is made with the understand
ing that the holiday, il granted, shall
not interfere with the work Of the
government in preparing for and in
conducting the war.
consideration it deserves at once.
