The house for which Mrs. Ayers
pays 81 month rental is a nine
room building Most OF the rooms
are rented TO totally or PARTIALLY dis
abled Union veterans. From all the
rooms she gets total income OF S37
a month.
The Department OF Interior thinks
that with this s37 and the $50 pension
she should be enabled to pay the in
creased rent, But Mrs. Ayers simply
smiles and repeats her ritual:
"Ive been getting the house for 81

PAY UP
TO CONGRESS
Solution OF Discrepancies to Be
Taken Up At Coming
Session.

One of the problems Congress
will have to solve when it meets IS
the equalization os salaries among
higher officials of the Government
departments.
There are many positions in the
{ Government service now where an
assistant" is paid more than his
superior.
4 GLAZING EXAMPLE.
Most Of these jobs are I'm Washing
ton. although few Of them are scat
tered around the country.
4 glaring example T. found in the
Treasury Department. the parent %
many wartime bodies. The Assistant
Secretaries receive a salary of $4,000
year. while many subordinate pos
tions pay much more.
In the Internal Revenue Bureau n"
Commissioper gets si0,0OO--twice tn"
salary OF the Assistant Secretary to
whom he is responsible. Under the
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue are
many minor officials who receive
more than the Assistant Secretary.
Some Treasury Department officials,
under the law, hold two positions,
one under the direct supervision OF
the Treasury Department and another
in some commission or committee al
filiated with the department. Thes.
officials are paid almost as much "a
the Secretary Of the Treasury and
more than twice the salary OF an As
sistant secretary
Government officials do not cor
tend the men who are receiving big
money are not entitled to il, but that
the Assistant Secretaries. whose posi-
tions have grown in Importance, have
been neglected.
A minor official who recently re-
signed to accept a position outside OF
the Government now receives ten
times what he was getting in the
Government service.
1t was said that many of the
designations recently from the incom"
tax division of the Treasury Depart
ment were not SO much a drain on
the resources OF that division as il
would seem. While il is true, IL was
admitted, that many of the men who
left the service for private firms had
worked up in the service and were
greatly missed. there were others who
had merely gone into the service for
training in tax matters.
These men. il. was pointed out, had
left positions in the commercial world
paying from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
to accept places in the income taX
unit at salaries of from $1,000 to
So 500 a year. After working for the
Government for a year or more, il is
said, they coulH go into the CONNER
cial world again and command a sal
airy twice as large as they received
before.

MUSIC FOR WORKERS.
Procter & Gamble Employees Have
 Regular Concerts.

An interesting feature of the life of an employe at the great Ivoryda1e plant of The Procter & Gamble Company is the regular weekly band concert, be- tween II 80 and 12:30 each Thursday.
 This band is not a professional or ganization. It is strictly an employees affair, AZ employees making up its roster, and working together so splendidly that they produce music which compares tavorably with ordinary concert bands.
 The management has encouraged this band, enthusiastically believing that its benefits are twofo1d The employees themselves are benefited by the music provided, and those who have musical talent have an opportunity to practice and develop themselves.
 listening to good music for an hour IS as good as several hours rest" de- clared one of the officials of the com pany. It relieves the mind of tense ness and worries, and allows complete relaxation of mind and body. Food bolted in hurry does not digest read lily and leaves the person in a more nervous condition than before eating. Therefore, 1t is of especial benefit that we have our band music during the lunch hour"

national bodies which are to wage a fight along these lines and the Trades Union Liberty League will undoubtedly be an important factor in the next cleo tion of congressman and state officers.
 In addition to the fight which will be waged nationally 1t is probable that legislation wi1l-be introduced into the next General Assembly with the object of allowing the sale of alcoholic bever- ages, similar to the bills which have all ready been introduced in the legisla- lures of New York and New Jersey.
