lady faire in the joust of the politi- cal arena. The biggest single factor that will bring success to Bartlett, if he wins, is the power Of the Repub- lican organization in this city and the usual majority for that party which exists here. Even this must be coupled with confidence i'll the in- dividual to gain the support Of the voters. Bartlett is showing himself, as We said before, and giving the voters a chance to see for themselves sary confidence in him. He is point ing 10 his record asking those who know for their support because of it.. He has made few errors in his cam paign talks. conducting himself as a gentleman should. He did make a mistake, in our opinion, in his re- mark to the effect that the Repuh- lIcans could gather around a Re- publican Mayor men O better calibre. mentality, or quali'y-call it what you will--tlan could the Democrats. Events of the past two years have not proven this. In ad- dition such a remark smacks of snopblsbness, which IS not wanted by citizens generally.
 Paonossa rallies, with the possible exception of the "Follios," have not, as rrle, been the occasion for large attcndances of yoters The 'Folles" have attracted attention, largely be- cause Of their novelty rather than through any political adherence or any desire to hear arguments bear ing on the local situation. They have been fun. admittedly, and have drawn crowds. Paonessa is carrying on a more active campaign than his opponent, taking his speeches direct ly to the voters, rather than waiting for them to come to him. He has gone to the factory gates and spoken on at least one street corner i'll the evening. He is resorting to the tilne- honored system Of campaigning at all opportunities. No one can know of the political complexion of a street corner or factory gate crowd, no one can tell whether votes are gained by this system--and some- times, when the candidate is carried by his enthusiasm into making ill., chosen statements there are votes lost. Paonessa has made no particu- lar "break" as yet, however. He, be- ing a representative of the "outs, has the role of critic, an easy one to play and sometimes an easy one to profit by.
 There seems to be considerable tension in the ranks of both parties There is a desire, we fear, to descend 10 the smashing policies of other times and rip the hide off the 1 other fellow" underneath the seem
 ingly quiet stream of the campaign 1 Bartlett may not have it, but som, | of his packers have. and Paonesss undoubtedly wishes an overt move on the part of his opponent to oper up hostilities. Such campaign would certainly create more inter. turn out more reScntful or defensive voters to the polls, but election time

The Republican party is expected to spend large sums of money, so MT, Paonessa's charge runs. Evi- dently this does not include the Republican private automobiles which will be used to carry reluc- tant voters to the scenes of carnage. Being in the automobile business MT. Paonessa might be able to make good use of turned in cars at that time.

At this stage both MT. Paonessa and Mr. Bartlett are slightly re- sentfu of each others statements. Thus one thing leads to another and the first thing We know each will be claiming the other is 'mis- representing the facts.' which is back to normalcy in every political campaign.

BARBARA GETS A SHOCK.
TT was Barbara's third day at
the David j. Norris booking
Office. She sat at a typewriter
in the huge room dotted with FL
ing cabinets, oak desks, dicta-
phones and adding machines and
sighed for the privacy of the
John Byrdon office. As she
looked up from her typewriter
she saw, row upon row, ike cab
bages in a field, the heads of
girl stenographers. Dark heads,
light heads, sleek heads, fuzzy
heads. All bent over notebooks
and tipping noisily, irregularly.
Here and there a man leaned
back in a creaky chair and
talked into a shiny tube. His words
were hard, slangy. He bit them
out as though he were making
grooves on a steel rod with his
teeth-frst a short groove, then
a long groove, then a row Of lit
tie fluctuations.
"There aren't so many girls,
after ALL" thought Barbara. ats
just that I'm not accustomed 70 a
large Office" She smiled nerv-
ously to a girl with red hair in a
black satin dress that chung to
her figure as she moved. The
girl closed one eye slowly in re-
Spouse and grinned a welcome.
Barbara noticed that the other
girls, too. were flashily dressed.
As she walked across the office
she felt herself wading into a sea
of painted faces. artificially col
ored eyelids. The men, she
thought. didn't seem to notice the
girls-didn't seem to notice any
thing, in fact. They looked bored
and intense at the same time.
One Of them touched a button
at the side Of his desk and it
echoed twice. Barbara picked I'D
her notebook and pencil and went
to answer the summons. She sat
down beside the dapper young
man who had touched the button
and waited for his dictation. He
looked at her a moment, then
smiled slowly. you're certainly
a husinesslike little person." he
said. "And so deadly seriousl"
isn't that the attitude ex-
pected in a bushes Officer" Bar
bara asked. surprised at his COM
ment.
"Oh, well, | guess it IS" he
drawled. "But you'll find the
girls we employ are poppy and

efficient without being too-too
-drab."
Barbara said nothing. So they
objected to her quiet manner,
her transformations clothes. They
liked girls who were harder. more
braZen. Well, Mr.. Dobson was
only the assistant manager-she
could afford TO ignore his sugges-
ton.
During the dictation the tele-
phone on Dobson's desk rang. He
picked up the receiver and in
toned, "Yeah?" Then his manner
changed. "Well III be- The
hi you say, What a dirty"
Barbara sat there, the color
mounting her cheeks slowly. She
was not accustomed to acting the
audience TO profanity. In the
Byrdon Office men were taught
to respect the sensibilities of
women. In all the years she had
been there not once had she
heard a coarse word, a clustering
oath. Now, as she listened TO Dob
sons conversation over the tele-
phone. interspersed with street
language, phrases one might ex-
pect from a longshoreman, her
ears tingled, she felt herself
squirm with embarrassment.
Dobson turned from the phone
to continue the letter. He
glanced at her burning cheeks,
then laughed. "My goodness
gracious, is my little secretary
shocked?" he teased. Then, as
he noted the panied expression:
''I'm awfully sorry, Miss Donnes.
| didn't mean to offend you. The
girls in the Office have grown cal
lous to this sort of thing, and IL
never occurred to me you would
take ofense. I'll try to curb my
venom hereafter-or, If / can't
do that, I'll make some attempt
to clothe it in more conventional
garb."
Barbara was grateful for the
mans innate good breeding.
perhaps in time /, too, will
grow callous to the vocabulary
