Building and Employment.

The Federal building program has
been advertised far and wide as relief
for unemployment. But how, and how
much? In a New York address recently
John W. Philip made some interesting
calculations as to the extent of en-
ployment brought about by the Gov
ernment's building expenditures. For
every 100000 900 spent In building, he
asserted, it has been estimated that
six thousand men will be given work
on the jobs. and for every man on the
Job there win be i've others employed
IN factories, fabricating plants and
other industries furnishing the ma
terial used In Federal building con-
stTuction.
Based on the money authorized,
there are jobs for between fifty and
sixty thousand men for two years or
twice that many for one year, depend
ing on the rate Of expenditure. While
there are more delays in Government
work than In private construction, due
20 various and unexpected obstacles,
there has already been noted a quick
ening OF industry in every section CT
the country due to the build ng pro-
gram, with its full force and effect
yet TO be felt.
The size of the building program as
Q whole u realized In Mr.. Philips emu

0utlawing Relatives.

Representative U. S. Stone Of Okla
homa, who dared the lightning and in
troduced a bill in the last session of
Congress against the employment of
relatives by his fellow members and
thenceforward came TO know how 1t
feels to live on an iceberg, all alone,
will derive comfort from the news that
Arizona has enacted such legislation.
Arizona. with Oklahoma, has formally
taken its stand against relatives. Okla
homa's law put the notion into Mr..
Stones head.
II Is interesting TO note that objec-
tons TO the Arizona law are based on
constitutional grounds, and the Gov
ernor says that the Federal Constitution
alone prevents the laws being applied
retrosctiyely. The Arizona law is very
sweeping. A relative has no chance for

hibits ANY executive, legislative, min
isterial, or judicial officer" from ap-

controlled British Broadcasting Cor
poration. Lord Crawford did not am
pity these glittering generalities. The
London Times in a recent kigh-pow-
cred editorial suggests that Canada
may have to make radio an issue with
the United States, because the alloca-
ton of North American wave lengths
has turned the Dominion into IAN air
vassal" of this country. The result is,
according to the Thunderer, the blot
ting out Of Canadian programs by
news, views and entertainment orig
mating on this side of the border. The
Times sees disturbing political and eco
nornic possibilities in such a state Of
affairs.
One Of the most important Federal
appointments President Hoover will
have to make next Fall is to the place
now filed by William E. Humphrey, Re
publican, of Washington, on the Federal
Trade Commission. His friends under
stand that Humphrey, who's an Indi-
anan by birth, but represented a
Seattle district in Congress for more
than half a dozen terms, aspires
to succeed himself. Commissioner
Humphrey, since President Coolidge APP
pointed him in 1925 for a six-year
term. has not been without his de-
tractors. But the business world looks
upon him as one of the squarest and
the body which was the hope and dream
Of Woodrow Wilson as an agency for
curbing monopoly. When the Federal
Trade Commission last year was as
signed by the Senate the task Of in
vestigating power" fear was wide
spread that the inquiry would be q
whitewash. Humphrey has had a ma
jor hand in conducting the probe, which

in thoroughness.
Preparations are being made at the
picturesque Franciscan Monastery, on
the outskirts of Washington for the
usual rush of Eastern motor-tourists
who want to see the statue of St. Chris
topher. It stands in the front garden
Of the monastery. st. Christopher has
been adopted as the patron saint Of
Automobiles, and an inscription on the
statue emblazons that fact. Originally
he was the patron only of ferrymen
OF giant size, he set himself the task
of carrying wayfarers over a bridgeleSs
stream. once a child, according to
legend, asked to be taken across, and
Christopher, putting him on his
shoulder. started out. In midstream
Christopher began to stagger under the
weight, which strangely increased, but
managed to make the other side. Had

not have weighed more than thou"

Life sometimes runs so smoothly that
1t tends to become tiresome.
This is the ennui which one so often
encounters, sometimes, unfortunately, In
ones self.
In answer to it one should keep in
is seldom exciting.
The theory of the thrill has done q
vast harm in this country. Those In
terested in such matters may wonder ii
any other nation in the world has had
to encounter such an idea.
This idea is that life must provide a
thrill to be at all interesting. The
theory has pervaded all walks Of life,
all classes, all circles.
Leaving entirely out of consideration
the great wrongs caused and troubles
brought into being as the result of this
idea spilling over into crime, there is
still left the dissatisfaction which II
causes to countless thousands.

Nothing ever happens" say these
discontinued ones.
Even men and women Of assured
mental capacities, who know better,
often give way to the same feeling.
Men, caught In the everyday office
routine, explain it to themselves by say
ing, What we need is another war"
a camping trip for several weeks will
put them in a better mood with the
world.
There are still others who try to rea-
son the thing out for themselves and to
tell their minds what they should think,
and why, in regard to this commonplace
matter which at some time or other af-
fectS most human beings.

Content is a continual feast, some
one has said.
In its very nature lies routine. Think
of the routine Of the well ordered

thousands of revolutions, millions of
revolutions, without the slightest vari-
ationsl
Variety is but spice to dull minds.
Thrill" is a much misuSed word. AS
used In this connection it is slang, and
nothing but slang, in its final analysis,
and ought to have no more standing, as
a word, than slang usually has.
A wave Of emotion or sensation has
no particular place in everyday life.
Those who say 1t has are speaking
mostly from the standpoint of SEN
sationalisrn, which is form of exagger-
alton.
Exaggeration has a rightful place in
the arts of the drama and literature.
1t has definitely less place in life as
it is lived every day by the huge bulk
Of humanity, except in times Of ma
tional stress.
The stage must exaggerate. Though
it may hold a mirror up to life, as
Shakespeare declared, the reflection is
concentrated, and hence exaggerated.
The motion picture gives a double
exaggeration, first concentrating by Sc
lection, and then enlarging by placing
on the screen.

Books are great eXaggerators, and no
doubt are partly responsible for the
belief, naive, that everyday life should
be like them.
Artful exploitation Of themes and
situations, Of human emotions, tends to
make the unwary believe that all which
is not like them Is dull, staid and en-
tirely uneventful.

to bar them from holding ONCE in Ari-
IONA and Oklahoma and the prohibi-
ton extends to other States, would it
not be fair to set aside a territory to

Should not a relative possess some

AS for CongresSmen's relatives-the
Congressman probably get the worst Of

be glad to support Mr.. Stones bill, If
only there were some way of keeping
the relatives from knowing about it.
