Comparing Civil Service Wages
With Pay of Big Business

WHEN Congress takes up the question Of increased pay
w for Civil Service workers it will give consideration
to survey of salaries paid by big business and
little business the country made by the Personnel
Classification Board and remains to be determined what
influence this comparison will have.
In general way this survey s understood to show that
big business pays better salaries than the Government to
poyes $4,000 per not good the Govern
ment below $20oObrief the underpad worker throughout
the country the victim Of economic conditions and few
people champiOning his cause
Based this theory the undepad employees Of Uncle Sam
would consider themselves fortunate though
they do receive LIVING WAGE and enmeshed to
the limit in debt
Based on this theory the middle classes everywhere
must be satisfied with what they getting what
means deprvations and in the eventual stirring up Of
bitterness and widespread discomfort
If the great statesmen of Congress- who have the welfare
Of their nation at heart and who looking ahead at what
may come from conditions that have impoverished the middle
classes the very backbone Of the United States are true Of
vision they will unhesitangy vote to make the salaries Of
Uncle Sans underpaid workers examples for private business
to follow.
Government has remarkable opportunity to demon
its desire do all within its power that pros
pery is fairly well shared throughout the nation It's first
step should be for Congress vote decent salaries to under
paid Government workers.

Science and Emotion
BIZ Archibald Henderson

Science, according to this view,
must be pepularized. But what
does this mean but that science
must be sentimentalized and emo
tionalized? Caldwell says that
science means little to most per-
sons, because it is lacking In the
life and color of human emotion.
Thus:
Whenever scientific informa-
tion is properly subjected to the
alchemy of human emotion, 1t is
transformed from a sterile, use
less thing into great source of
energy to combat the ills from
which we suffer, broaden the
horizon Of human thought and in
crease human happiness.
Socializing science means hberat-
ing powerful forces and creating
new and tremendous activities.
Emotionalized human knowlsdse
requires a special kind of knowl-
edge and is a science in itself
The fields; to which such emo
tionalization of science is imme-
diately applicable are, for example,
medicine and social science. Ger
tain ailments common years ago,
which people used to discuss
freely In public, are gradually
being eliminated by science forti-
fled by social taboo. The public
frowns down on these ailments:
so science eliminates them.

few ounces, is constantly called
upon to understand the principles,

control and seeks to apply its past
experience, to direct it toward an

SECRETS OF

A RTHRITIS DEFORMANS has
"A always been associated in
the lay mind with rheumatism, al
though scientific researches as to
the nature of this chronic and dis
tressing disorder point to the con-
clusion that the two conditions are
not the same.

than men. especially about the
time Of menopause.
Although in many instances
there is a history of some joint
trouble before the onset OF the
arthritis deformans as such'
sometimes attacks of gout, occa-
sionally only of rheumatism, the
prevailing view held is that the
disease Is due to infection either
somewhere in the body outside OF
the joints affected or actually in
the joints themselves.
According to the latter con-
ception of the disease the en-
largement and changes in the
Joints is caused by the absorp-
ton of poisons produced by germs

distortions of the tissues.
Although the exact cause OF
arthritis deformans still remains
in doubt it may be said that ex-
poSure to cold and damp, diges-
tive difficulties, worry and an
injury to a joint may start the
trouble agoing.
Lastly, one might mention the
relationship that sometimes seems
to exist between this disease and
other diseases Of the nervous

I have mentioned the most i'm
portant theories as to what causes
arthritis deformans inasmuch as
so much confusion exists as to Its
nature among people in general.

In one form of the disease

at the sides of the fingers. These,
when fully grown are hard. OFTEN,
before their appearance, the
joints of the fingers may be
tender and swollen, and give the
impression of being slightly in

These hard knobs are called
by the doctors "Heberden's
nodes" Usually this form of
the disease does not involve the
larger joints later on, and, there
fore, their appearance may be
looked upon as hopeful feature.
Other forms OF the condition
exist, and for purpose of conve-
nience these may be divided into
acute or chronic.
The chronic form is the one
most frequently met with, and
in this type the patients usually
have had previous acute attacks.
Acute aEthritis deformans usu-
ally sets in with fever and with
redness, soreness and swelling

The Pattern Of Life
By Elsie Robinson

A WOMAN wants to know
"A how she can stand it,"
Everything has gone smash with
her life-husband and child dead
home lost.
1t happened three years ago.
She has COTTON JOB since. She's
no longer in danger of starving
or losing her mind but-she can't
win back. She still can't see any
thing but her frightful sorrow--
the inJustic of it-Why should she
he singled out to lear such a
load? And she's sane enough to
know that that is an absurd view.
But what other view can she take?
How else can she view this
chaos which was once life?
Pretty hard to find another
view. but many brave, wise souls
have found one.
They, too, saw life go smash.
Prehaps it didn't happen to them,
but it happened all around them.
They saw injustic, corruption,
monstrous cruelty. They couldn't
ignore these things, as some
SNUG folk can. They had to
think it all out somehow. And
so, deliberately, they forced them
selves to see life as a whole, in.
stead of in separate beautiful or
brutal bits.
Somerset Vaughan in his book,
"Of Human Bondage" tells of a
boy who came to see life as a
whole. He was a cripple and for
a long time he could only see
his own terrible affiliction. But
one day. studying Persian rug,
tracing the intricacies of it's de.
sign, his mind opened to a larger
view. He saw that life isn't ONE
PIECE-ONE THREAD OF IN.
DIVIDUAL ExPERIENCE-any
more than that rug was one
piece. He saw that life was made
up of many pieces, many threads.
just as the rug was, and that,
somehow, they were all woven
into tremendous PATTERN.
And he saw that a man might
find joy for his soul and healing
for his own hurt by turning his
eyes from himself AND TRYING
TO FACE THAT PATTERN.
He seemed for an instant to
stand above the accidents of his
existence and he felt that they
could not again affect him as
they had done before. Whatever
happened to him now would be
one more motive to add to the
complexity of the pattern

CCIENCE is generally regarded
~ much as we regard cold
illumination. 1t is light without
heat We are accustomed to think
of science as a product Of the
pure intellect, divorced Of all
emotion. If we wish to solve a
problem from scientific point
of view, we accumulate data,
sift and test the data, and formu-
late some theory, principle or law
as a working hypothesis. If we
allowed our feelings to enter into
our judgments and chose certain
substances because they had a
nice smell, others because they
were elastic, others still because
they were beautiful in color, our
findings would give US chaos
confusion worse confounded.
A brilliant young physicist OF
today ,deplores the use of pure
mathematics for solving essen
tally physical problems. He de-
plores the tendency toward solv-
ing physical problems outside the
laboratory solely. by means of
mathematical symbols. He insists
that the next step in modern
physics must be to put some
background into the equations.
In a word, the symbols must
In some way partake Of the ma
ture of their environment. Sci.
ence must utilize art or emotic0i
as an ally. Equations in the fu-.
ture mus be something more
than elucidative, they must be
descriptive.
Caldwell, in a somewhat differ
ent way. is demanding that scien-
tific data must be ''socialized."
This is saying that the data must
partake of the nature of their
social background. But. this Is a
very specific way. ..,

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. StrauS.

Thrift plans fostered by business or
CARNATIONS for the benefit of their
own employees are being given wide
attention.
Encouraging indeed is this sign of
progress. Business is realizing more
and more that it helps itself most
when it in turn helps others.
These thrift plans take various
forms, being called in some cases,
profit-sharing, employee stock owner
ship, thrift and welfare policies.
Many corporations are assisting
their employees to purchase stock on
a most profitable basis and often be-
low the open market price. Such
stock ownership gives the employee
more intense interest in his work
and permits him to make profit on
his activity in addition to his salary
or wage. Other corporations provide
home ownership plans whereby the
company in each instance helps the
employee in owning home. Special
savings plans are also frequently used
by firms and corporations for the ben
eft of the employees
To be happy and successful in bust
ness requires happiness and success
in the home.
Thus business organizations which
encourage thrift among their employ
ees are in turn reaping the rewards of
greater efficiency.
But this is not to be viewed from
the standpoint of selfishness. While
the company secures benefits from the
thrift of its employees, the community,
the nation and society in general are
likewise benefited. The establish
ment OF a thrifty family in a COM
munity is always an> added force to
the progress of that community.
AS this movement gains Roadway,
real progress in the problem of human
relations will be achieved.
