WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page y


the Federal Government is met with
bitter comments, it is refreshing that
there is one agency that can get
away with it." The Public Printer
freely states that Members of Con-
gress and department officials are
changing their minds too frequently at
the taxpayers expense. He points out
that material prepared for the Off
cial publications, whether speeches
or other copy, is altered too much
and not due to printers errors. These
changes cost $215,734.4S last year and
Congress contributed the main por-
ton of costly mistakes.
Members of Congress always take
adv antage of the immunities that-the
Constitution permits. However it has
been noted that there is a certain
bill collector who may creep under
the immunity tent and present them
as do private collection agencies to
other citizens. with demand for a
settlement of their debts. The man
who has the power to garnish their
pay check is the Public Printer. II
Legislators ordered their speeches or
other material printed at the Govern
ment Printing Office and then neglect
to cover the account, the law pro-
vides that the Public Printer may
attach their salaries for any unpaid
bills.
The floods which are now spread
ing in the Mississippi Valley may
force the government and the Con-
gress to speed up the relief work. 1t
was hoped that special attention
would be given the subject after Hoo
yer became President, but other prob
lens interviewed. According to a sto-
ry current in engineering circles the
intervention" is nothing if not effec-
tive. The charge is made that the
most effective lobby organization is
within the government, namely the
Corps of Engineers of the Army. 1t
is this group that controls the motor
ious 'pork-barreK or patronage bill
the rivers and harbors measure.
Their recommendations for improve
ments are usually followed by Con-
gress. The reason is that some dis
tricts might be forgotten" in the esti-
mates and plans if the legislators from
a district reached by rivers and along
the coast criticised the government
engineers. 1t now appears that the
weather cannot wait on the army
engineers and is now flooding while
the Army is estimating.

At the End of the Trail.
Some time ago it was reported in
these columns that Aage Lindeskov
Friis, a bookkeeper in the Denmark
branch of the Gillette Safety Razor
Co. had fled his country with. it was
charged, $4,000 Kroner belonging to
the firm. He was traced to Canada
and shortly before Christmas he was
arrested in Montreal and held for the
Danish authorities. Upon demand
from Copenhagen Friis was, in ac-
cordance with existing treaties, ex-
tradited and sent back. and now
comes word that he has been SEN
fenced to a term of eighteen months
in the penitentiary.
No Charge.
Johan Johansen of Stavanger, Nor
way, was recently held by the New
York police, charged with having kill
ed Finnish friend-as already told
here. All indications pointed to the
innocence of Johansen but appear
anceS were against him until one OF
his compatriots interested himself in
the case and pleading it before the
grand jury succeeded in forestalling
an indictment since it was demon
strated to the satisfaction of the jur-
ty. So after spending II days in the
Tombs prison, Johansen was released
with no charge preferred against him.
Submits Subway Bid.
An American subway project to
solve the traffic problems of Stock
holm, Sweden, has been submitted to
the Swedish government by Burger
Hammeren, Swedish-American en-
gineer The bid for a two-track sub
way comes to SIS, 100000 which
would be amortized by sinking fund
in forty years. 1t is said that Mr..
Hammeren's estimates were about
million dollars lower than any 9TH
ers submitted. aud it is thought likely
assuming that certain formalities can
be successfully adjusted.
New U. s. Minister.
John Motley Morehead of North
Carolina has been nominated by .Presi-
dent Hoover to be minister to Sweden
whereupon the senate approved the
nomination. Mr.. Morehead is manu-
facturer of Charlotte, N. c., and a

tions made for anew vessel, and ne
gotiations were begun with shipyards
in various countries. The owner of
the line, the United Steamship Com
pany, has. however, stated that for
the time being all plans for expansion
must be held in allegiance as it is
necessary to make further study OF
the American immigration laws. 1t
is thought that when the ship is built,
it will replace one of the older vessels
OF the line. The latest addition to
this fleet was that of the Frederik
VIII which was built in 1912.
"GrOwth OF the Soil"
A report is current to the effect
that the Metro-Goldwyn moving pic
ure concern has purchased movie
rights for a pictured dramatization
of the novel. 1.-The Growth of the Soil

famous Norwegian novelist. and one

Norway, and that the American pro-
ducers will employ Norwegian actors
and actresses in some OF the parts.
AS far as is known, the production
will be "talkie."
Negotiating a Loan.
Negotiations are in progress be-
tween a group of Norwegian cap
italists and American banks concern
ing loan of between SO and 100
million dollars for the promotion OF
a series of plans connected with the
Norwegian wood-pulp industry when
is now assuming unprecedented di-
mensions. 1t is the intention OF the
capitalists to advance money to Nor
wegian farmers enabling them to cul-
tivate fine trees for paper manufac-
ture, and it is expressly pointed out
that although money is desired from
the United States, no American will
be permitted to own stock i'll any OF
the enterprises connected with the
consortium. 1t is to be 100 per cent
Norwegian.
Canada Invites.
Last summer 900 descendants of
Swedes who left their country for
Ukraine some two hundred years ago,
came to the land of their fathers as
they found life under the Soviet rule
somewhat difficult. The Canadian Pa
cific Railway has now invited SO of
these "Swedo-Russian" families (Swe-
dish is still their language) to come
to Alberta and start a settlement near
Westaskiwin. The company also adj
vances $4,000 to these Immigrants.

Listen, WOrld!.
BY Elsie Robinson

It has become an escape from
people and things you do not
want to face. It has become an
alibi for selfiShneSs and lazineSs
and cowardice. If you did not
have that grief, If you laid 1t
aside bravely, you would have
to mingle with the world-you
would have to face competition
and criticism. But, grieving,
you can lock yourself away, you
can hide in your sorrow. And
no one will dare condemn you
for doing so. Il
Poor Sally" they'll say,
shes never been the same since
Billy died. It's wonderful, and
tragic to love like that"
And, hearing them, you'll not
only feel excused-but you'll feel
that you are set apart by your
great disaster-that you're not
like other people-that you
should be pitied and honored be-
cause you cannot, will not, come
back into line.
The Real Facts
But, Of course, the truth is
you deserve neither pity nor
honor: Chronic grief isn't beau
tiful-it's cowardly and con.
temptible. We've no more right
to use grief as an escape than
we have to use alcohol or NOR
phine or gambling. Broken
hearts are not a rare, personal
calamity. They are part Of the
common lot and should be
borne as such. Broken-hearted
people should be more useful
than other citizens, rather than
less so.
It's bad to pity broken-hearted
people too much or too long.
It's bad to let them pity them
selves. I know. My heart was
broken and people pitied me.
IT NEARLY MADE A BUM
OF ME.

The hardest part about grief
is not enduring it-but giving
it up.
You've lost someone. Some
one who gave all the sweetness
and meaning in life. And your
heart is broken. Terrible days!
You wake, you sleep, you go
about your work. It's all the
same. You're in a daze Of mis-
ery-drugged by sorrow. You're
as truly dead as that dear one
who has gone. You're sure that
life will never come back again.
And you don't want it to
come back. You don't want to
live with your darling gone.
But it does come back. Without
your knowing it, without your
willing it, against all your de-
sire, life comes back. Creeping
slowly. rising softly, in a tide,
life comes back. You have an
appetite again. You can sleep.
You can feel a stirring Of in
terest in q new hat, or the lat
est football score. You haven't
forgotten love-your grief is
just as great. But life has
taken hold Of you again. Life
is needing you, clamoring for
you, demanding that you take
your place. There are the old
responsibilities to be taken up
again. There Is that new duty
which you have avoided, which
your friends have helped you
avoid, during your black hours.
They're waiting for you
BrOken-Hearted
Reluctantly you realize this.
But you turn your face away.
You don't want to take UP
those responsibilities again.
You don't want to come back
into life. Why? You say it's
because your heart is broken.
And you believe that.
You believe it because you
want to believe it. Uncon-
sciouSly, grief has become o
convenience!
