 Perhaps of temperamental ire sponsibility it seems impossible for them to practice any denial They have apparently no sense of the value of money. Most of these boys receive little money from home oc- casionally but. instead of saving it or practicing any economy until they have accumulated something, the advent of a check from home is al- ways signal for a party. Without funds they must accept atmosphere jobs at s7 a day instead of trying to get real place with good director
 I saw much of this distinctly movie" type of happy go-lucky peo- pie and never ceased to marvel al them. They live each day as is comes with apparently no thought of the future Seemingly they have not the mental stamina to go persistently from casting director and agents and vice versa until they land something real. The pleasures of today out weigh the advancement of tomorrow They would rather congregate in some rendezvous and talk and fritter

Then he added: I'm foolish, but | you'll never see me throwing up q good job for a girl.
 Jack, what are you talking about?" I demanded.
 About Ria, of course They are saying around the studios that she Is ] in love with Herb Richardson and he persuaded her to take up with him. .
 Take up? Take up?" said stup. dly.
 "Oh, don't be innocent, virgie. Herb Richardson Is not a marrying man. Well. he is married And he is married to Ria" l blurted out In anger.
 Good Lord"
 "Oh, I didn't mean to tell, Jack. I promised not to tell. But now that have told so much I suppose I must tell you the whole story
 And then I told Jack about Kitty and why Gloria thought the marriage should be kept secret
 Ria did always have an eye to tet- ting ahead" sagely commented Jack. But I can't see what reason she has for trying to save money for Herb. Kitty Dalton will sting him good any way.
 "Of course. Kitty has designs on Herb. She has on every man-of at least she did have on every man but what she is going to do now that her eyes are blinded I do not know.f

WASTE WHOLE DAY IN NEEDLESS TALK
 ON HEFL|N CHARGE
Other Days Likewise Will Be Frittered Away in ConSid- eration of Trivial Reso-
 IutionS and Debates
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Agc-HefH4d
 hlln nawidnnn RuiIdil

Washington. February 27.-(Spe- cial. )-Desire of the republican ma jority to embarass Senator Hef1in of Alabama. has lent dignity to the charge of that senator against the federal reserve bank of Atlanta. guilty of having circulated speech by Senator Carter Glass of Virginia.
 Senator Hef1in asked that his res olution asking for an investigation of the alleged political activity of that bank be referred to the auditing committee of the Senate. The repub- ncans concluded to turn him down in matter that WAS so unimportant that had it been injectedtby any other senator, they would readily have ac- Quiesced.
 In consequence-and Senator Lodge was in the main responsible--an en- tire day was wasted last week. and other days will be wasted--in need less debate And the action of re- publicans, especially the part played by Lodga, has created something of partisan feeling on the eve of the necessity for ratifying important treaties.
 Conflicting Motives
 The auditing committee cannot dis pose of legislation. 1t can simply ascertain if the treasury is able to pay the cost of investigations ask ed for. Senator Heflin desired his res olution referred to that committee because he knew it would report the resolution out, and give him new op : portunity to discuss the federal re- serve board while 1t was being re- ferred to a committee for final dis position.
 The republicans wanted the reso- lution referred to the banking and currency committee because they knew that such reference would put an end to the agitation. Hefl:n charged that the committee was stacked against him because the chairman, Senator Mclean congratu- lated Senator Glass when he con cluded a defense of the federal re- serve board. At any rate. this com mittee will eventually handle the resv olution and will not report 1t out.
 For Senator Watson of Georgia even, has found the committee un- responsive. While Heflin was plead ing for the life of his resolution, Watson interposed.
 Watson's Grievance After Heflin had expressed his happiness in an opportunity to yield Ito my friend from Georgia" Wat son said: Directly in line with what the Senator is saying, I will state that months and months ago l intro duced a resolution requesting the President to remove W. P. c. Hard ing.
 That resolution has rested in the banking and currency committee for months and months and l submit to the Senate and the country that that | is not the courteous way in which | to treat a Senator"
 Thereupon. the Alabama senator was more determined than ever to postpone reference of his resolution to the banking committee. The Sem ate, however, defeated his motion that | it be referred to the auditing commit tee The motion that it be referr ed to the banking committee still bends There is apparently nothing vita 1 in the letter of explanation with which the Atlanta bank circulated the Glass gpeech It expressed doubt that

WILL |. O. P. USE
 HAYS ID CONTROL
 MOVIE INDUSTRY?
Democrats Believe Connection of Postmaster General With Films May Be PoIiti-
 cal Move
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The AEe-Herald
 800 Davidson Buildi

Washington, February 27-(Spe- cial. al.)-Democrati politicians cannot eliminate entirely suspicion that the resignation of Will H. Hays, post master general, to become connected with moving pictures, eliminated from political as well as financial considerations.
 THe idea obtains that the repub- licans will use Hays and the money with which they are always equip ped. to turn the moving picture in- dustry into an organ for the dis semination of republican propaganda
 Representative A B. Rouse of Ken lucky, chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee offers advice to the moving picture industry in the following statement:
 Last Friday there was a luncheon at the Raleigh hotel in this city. at there was general understanding of the operation of the federal reserve system, and hope that the speech of Glass would prove illuminating.
 The QuestiOnnnire
 It concluded with the request that an answer be returned to the follow ing interrogations: Before reading the speech of Senator Glass what was your opinion of the value of the fed eraI reserve system to our country ? What is your opinion now? Do you row have a better understanding of the functions and operation of the federal reserve system? Any other comment you desire to make will be welcomed"
 Here is-the effect on Senator lief lin, however: "Qh, MT. President. was there ever anything of a more coer- cive nature, a more insidious, mean, sneaking effort to worm way into the hearts and brains of bankers in the hope of injuring a senator In his own state7"
 Adelaon Explains
 As soon as attention was called to the original speech against the At lanta bank by Mir. Heflin, an of ficial of that bank, L. c. Adelson, who a few years ago was runner at the First National bank of Birmingham, admitted circulating the letter, gave it to the press and disclaimed inten- tion of political activity against Sen ator Heflin or any other man.
 But the republicans in opposing Senator Heflin in the inconsequential manner of reference simply because he is Senator Heflin, make noun tain of molehlll, and indicate their paucity in the matter of leadership.

UP TO you AND CONGRESS

At the present time 1t would be a
misnomer TO speak of the national
government having a personnel sys-
tenn at all. The reform accomplished
by the establishment Of the civil sery-
ice commission and the merit system
has touched but one phase Of the per-
sonnet problem, and that but partially
entrance into the government sery-
ice. Practically nothing has been done
In the way OF erecting the government
services into careers that will attract
and retain efficient men. Bad as con-
ditions were In this respect before the
war, they have become many times
worse during and since that event.
The correction of these evils pre-
sents a problem of great completely.
1t cannot be achieved by a half
hearted or halfway tinkering with the
present system. Nothing but thor
ough overhauling Of the whole person
mel system and the establishment of
new system covering all phases of
the question and embodying the most
approved principles of personnel adj
ministration will meet the needs of
the situation. Fortunately begin
ming has been made In this direction.
1t at least furnishes a starting point
for action looking to the giving to the
government of the personnel system
that 1t must have If government work
Is to be even measurably well done.
The situation now is that there is
an insistent demand on the part of
the public that the whole administra-
ton ofthe national government be put
upon more efficient basis, and that
the present waste Of public funds, re-
sulting from present defective organ
ization and methods, shall cease; that
congress Is alive to this demand and
has made a start toward meeting 1t A.;
that the fundamental defects in the
existing system are well known; and
that the direction efforts looking to
reform should take are clearly estab-
lished. The responsibility Is thus
squarely up to congress.
II the problem that confronts con-
gress in securing this laudable end is
analysed 1t will be found that the
fundamental reforms are: The re-
form By congress itself of Its own or
ganization and methods of procedure
the entire revision of the present sys-
TEN under which the financial needs
Of the government are determined and
provided; the setting up of an agency
and procedure through which the ex-
penditure OF public funds may be
properly controlled and congress be
given that Information regarding such
expenditures which 1t must have If it
