ShOiU Federal Pay Is Inadequate
Itemised Accounts of LiUing Expenses CiUen to
PrOre Federal Pay Inadequate to Sup
port Average Family.
By Judson c. Welliver
In The Washington Herald.

Truly, "one-half the world doesn't
know how the other half lives" In
Washington, those who do not work
for the Government wonder how the
Government employees live.
In the last few weeks great num-
bers of Government employees have
written to The Washington Herald
perfectly frank stories of how they
manage to live within their incomes.
Taken together, these letters present
a most impressive human story.
They tell of an army Of people
who are confined to the barest nee
essaries of living; to whom the lux
uries are unknown, the comforts are
rare, the necessaries are had only
through eternal vigilance and sacri-
fee.
Yet among these people there are
the widest Emergencies of expert
cnce. One cheerful correspondent
tells of how he began IS years ago
at 5000; has never drawn more than
81 800 a year; has raised five chill
dren; and on the way has come to
ownership of a small farm in Vir-
ginia. 1t is the accomplishment i'm
possible to most people living in a
city. In the case of this cores
pondent, probably the hard work Of
wife and children has been a con-
siderable factor in the family's sue
cess. But he will tell his own story,
for I am going to append extracts
from some of these frank confess
sions, which / think will be worth
the reading.
Among the rest is letter from a
woman whose husband was an avia-
tor during the war, but who was

She also knows that many are worse
off than she is. Here is her story:

My annual leave each year has been

have in season Injuries that cost
the city man dearly. And with
good mother, who knows how to pre-
serve the fruits and vegetables,

cellar is a pretty good insurance and
satisfaction.
"Thus, you see, by milking and
chopping wood, planning and all

the department has no money for

ways ranged 90.07 to S2,47-but that
evidently does not amount to much.

cure extra work, which consists Of
sending out monthly statements on

Another married woman tells Of
her struggle to get ahead. Her
husband makes 81 40 and she earns
S1,320. She economies in every
wav. Here is why she works:
