DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been reading your advice
to the lovelorn in The Times care
fully every evening, and have yet
to see a case similar to my own.
am a girl OF twenty-seven years,
and am really and truly in love with
a man twenty-five. Am positive he
loves me, as he comes to see me most
every week and usually brings me
box of candy every pay day. We
have been going together for tho
past five years, and, Miss Fairfax.
what can't understand Is, although
j know he loves me, he has never
shown the slightest signs Of affect
tion. And I am one who Graves af-
fection. Do you think I would be
doing wrong in dropping him and
going with some one who is more af-
fectionate?
Now. Miss Fairfax, this has wor-
ried me into very i'll health. Do
you think our ages have anything
to do with 1t: When he is out with
me and he sees some younger girls
he knows he speaks to them and Is
very Indifferent to me. To drop
him entirely would break .uy heart.
MY mother died about fifteen years
ago, and has, therefore, left me to
care for myself.
MISS MARY.
IL seems extraordinary that this
young man has shown no affec-
ton In FIVE years and would indi-
cate that he looks upon you only
as pal. Considering the differ
ence In your ages, 1t is time you
understood whether he intends any
thing more OF not, because, other
wire, you will waste your mar
riageable years and arrive at thirty
without a real sweetheart.
agree with the woman who de-
clares she would't marry a man ten
minutes younger than herself, al
though, o. course, we all know OF
instances where marriages where
the woman was the older have
been successes. I myself know q
very happy marriage where the
two people had almost every OBJ
stacle to contend with-difference
in religion and ten years differ
ence In age, on the woman's side.
Such a case is the exception. how
ever, and not the rule. or course.
the fact that the young man has
been interested for Ave years au-
gurs we'll for you. but even he
ought 10 consider Il about time he
made his intentions known.

way Is TO send them The Times

Of a hundred experience the same
sensation on the eve of their mar
riage. You are just like person
having stage fright and the truth
Of the matter probably Is that the
girl is just as much in love as you
are but is fearing you don't love
her enough. My criticism Of you
is that you have two girls "on the
string" 1t is an awfully good
plan to be well of with the old
love before you are on with the
new. The thing to do Is to elm
mate ONE girl--as far as you are
concerned-the girl to eliminate
Is the one you don't love because
OF course nothing happy could re-
suit there even if she does love you.
Then when you have your whole
time to devote to THE ONE girl.
go ahead and win her. think
you can.

Much Twaddle and GueSSwork
About Inefficient Federal
Employees
By BILL PRICE.

Periodically somebody organization breaks out
with voluntary figures about thousands of supeuous Sin
eicen employees the rolls of the Federal Government
They sometimes name the exact number that can easily be
dropped from the rolls 1900 10000 and in
$4,000 were to be dropped by Congress
1t is fact that there superfuous Federal employees
everybody knows itbut the giving of figures is mere
twadde and guesswork is most of the stuff that is
intended to reflect upon the great of hardworkng
loyal employees Of Uncle Sam There to determine
how many INEFFICIENT employees there the service
The Recassifcaton Commission and will find out how
many may be SUPERFLUOUS but the fault for this lies
with Congress Appropriations for the pay of clerks during
the present fiscal made many months without
the slightest elasticity and without regard to changed
dtons Administrative officers have retained employees
they could have done without There Government
commission to require them to get rid of unnecessary help
Employees have had to discharge themselves
And efficiency in every department and bureau is
matter of valuable administrative officers Employees in
every establishment in the world up to what is
required of them 1t is the in industry private
business The empoye is often what the above him is
Inefhciency is human if tolerated.
In nearly all instances Of pompous personal opinion Of
neciency the author is superficial He has scanned the
force in bureau division and judges all by that
Often, too efficiency is matter of individual opinion
What one might consider worthy capable force OF
men and women another would deem incapable.
The part of of this is that it is just lin
gerng of the old idea Government clerks have soft
snaps richly paid, and may be pounced upon by any
statesman anybody who wants to make capital for him
SELF There cheap party politics in it, too The po-
cal party which wants to get power must have something
with which to attack the party power and the gladstone
tings spread that Washington is filled with thousands
of superuous workers put in by the inefficient admins
istraton in power"
Hard-working, conscientious Government employees by
the thousands will welcome any civil service reorganization
by Congress- upon recommendations of the Recassfcaon
Commission that will give genuine recognition to faithful
ness, loyalty, and good work and which, most of all will
eliminate the opportunities for the quack and political
bunco artist attack entire body for shortcomings
chargeable to a few.
It convincing pathetic testimonial to the fidelity of
the great bulk of Government employees that they today
working for the United States Government for
compensation of Y cents per year than paid the
employees of 1928 It's safe bet that there less howl
ing salaries paid Government employees seventy or
eighty ago than there is when many doctors
are offering prescriptions for saving the patient Uncle Sam
Those 1923 clerks could well afford to be Indifferent to
