stank, not caring
But suddenly
Incredible!
Was I dreaming?
But, no; it WAS music!
A Wonderful Song
The loveliest Of all music
the song the boy had loved
best
Shubert's "Serenade!"
But, here?
In all this racket and mess?
1t couldn't be! But it was!
There was no mistaking that
exquisite, yearning, haunting
cry:
Dearest; co-o-ome to mel"
Fragile as starlight, quivering
through the darkness, floating
above the bedlam, spreading
and Showering its silvery beauty
over all the ugliness the music
roSes
And the darkness was gone,
the ugliness was forgotten and
the old. old pain was comforted
by that blessed miracle.
And yet, moments later, COM
ing slowly out of the spell, I
realized that there was no
miracle. Plain enough, now
that I stopped to think of it.
Somewhere, in that clutter of
cars, one with radio. Some
one had forgotten; left the dial
turned; left the way open.
AND MUSIC HAD COME.
Music had come in spite of
all the ugliness, in spite of dark
ness overhead and poverty at
the door, simply because SOME
ONE HAD LEFT THE WAY
OPEN.
The Way of Life
And I thought how it is that
way with life-with even the
saddest, darkest life.
Music can always come, if
you'll leave the way open.
Always, above any discord,
there can be a song.
Always, through any ugliness,
beauty can find it's way.
If only the heart is willing
and open.
For beauty and truth and
love are always waiting, all
around us. They are waiting as
that music was waiting. Wher-
ever we pass, wherever we
pause, in the narroweSt alley,
in the darkest room, there is
music. Always music moves in
a lovely, invisible tide all about
us. But we cannot hear it, un-
less the way is opened.
Nor can the heart. huddled in
loneliness, know healing beauty,
unless it is attuned. But if it
is there is no limit, there is no
end, to the voices that may
come.

for all time, OF her faith IN
love, marriage and the male
sex.
But don't deceive yourself!
She is probably just a bright
little optimist starting out on
a brand new love-queSt, and
hoping to return with a shiny
new wedding ring on her finger,
and another human problem on
her hands.
There is. no such thing as a
disillusioned woman! A woman
may lose her youth, her figure,
her back teeth and her lost
lover-but never her secret
hope and faith that love will
come her way, again.
No matter how many men
have failed her or double
crossed her, she will always be-
lieve that the NEXT love" is
going to be the Perfect Ro-
nance, the lifelong love and
the marriage de luxe.
No matter how many men
have lied to her, she will al
ways brighten up hopefully,
when the next man begins Civ
ing her the same old line, or
telling her how ravishing she
is. Or how wonderful HE is!
No matter how often a man
may have broken his dates
with her or his word to her,
she will listen to his next alibt
or his next glowing promise,
and believe that his intentions
are perfectly good, and that he
is honest at heart"
And no matter how many
times she may have married a
playboy or a lightweight or a
philanderer, she will always
pick the same type, next time,

THIS one will be different"
To a woman. everything she
loves is beautiful: the weak,
selfish egotist. the Wayward
child. the NANCY, bad-tempered

looking class.

prepossessing a girl may be,

When you begin to lag you
are not interested.
If the time goes slowly when

Three Years
Too Late

To this we will answer
that he has; and this is what
he said; that Mr.. Hoover
three years ago called indus
trial leaders into conference
and brought about. an
agreement that wage levels
would be maintained"
We have heard this, time
and again, cited among the
great achievements of Mr..
Hoover; but how amazing
that we should be hearing it
now that we all know just
how much that agreement
was worth.
If agreements are t h e
strong part of Mr.. Hoover
program the Federation Of
Labor will expect him to
act on that railroad loan Pc
tition of theirs.
Since Mr.. Hoover "brought
about an agreement that
wage levels would be main
tanned" at least 100000
workingmen have lost their
jobs and practically all Of
them have been reduced in
wages. They all know it.
How strange then that Mr..
Doak should bring this bed
time story to them three
years later!
Perhaps, after all, Elihu
Root may be persuaded to
appeal to the workingman
in speech he is to make.
Mr.. Doak evidently is not
the man.
Mr.. Doak in the industrial
centers; and Charles Curtis
in the dry States to bring to
the drys tangible evidence of
Mr.. Hoover continuing de-
votion to the "nobIe expert
ment. +" And Ogden Mills to
discourse in the Harvard ac-
cent and with a counting
house squint to the farmers
of the West. Somehow we
have a partiality for Mr..
Curtis.
AT least he is no double
dealer. He stands vocifer-
ously for the Eighteenth
Amendment and the Vol
stead act forever.

No Mention Of
Mr.. Hoover's Plan

Mr.. Hoover has a plan for
the unemployed worker-the
only plan he has INDUCED
in. He would have the men
who still have jobs at re-
duced wages divide their
jobs and wages with the
jobless-thus bringing all
the workers down to a COM
mon level of poverty; but
Mr.. Doak does not men
tion this. Here is an Ad-
ministration idea he might
fall upon with gusto-if he
would.
Instead Mr.. Doak sol
emnly says to the workers,
who are intelligent and we'll
informed, and are thinking
The Washington times., 1932-09-30
Mr.. Doak's
Appeals

Now that Mr.. Doak is
making his appeals to labor
one might imagine he would
enumerate services to labor
rendered by the Admins
tration, and work his own
department has done for
them. Nothing of the sort
appears in his speeches. In
stead he concentrates on one
divine thought-that the
lowering of the prohibitive
tariff walls erected at the
behest Of that staunch
champion of labor, Mr..
Grundy, will be the ruina-
tion of the workingman yet!
The fact that under the
highest tariff we have ever
had in peace Or war II, ,O00,-
600 workers are on the
streets does not impress him.
Or the fact that under
such a tariff wages have
been slashed once and twice
and more does not impress
him.
Or the fact that 100000
of the jobless are on the
streets because of the loss of
foreign markets due to the
Hoover tariff does not con-
Germ him.
Or the fact that because
of this Grundy monstrosity
thousands of factories are
moving to other lands to get
goods to foreign markets
and employing Glow waged
foreign" workingmen, who
spend their wages with for
eign merchants, does not oc-
cur to him.
But these things may oc-
cur to the jobless.

Suggestions for
Mr.. Doak

While it is not our busi-
ness to make Mr.. Doak S
dull speeches interesting, we
will suggest a way to make
them less ridiculous:
Let him explain why Mr..
Hoover treated the plea of
the Federation of Labor for
a labor conference with con,
temptuous Indifference; thai
would be interesting!
Let him tell why Mr..
Hoover fought the Wagner
employment stabilization bill
for two years and under
pressure of public opinion
finally signed it with a word
of praise.
Let him expand on
Hoover's hostility to the
other Wagner measures; and
other measures introduced to
create jobs for the jobless.
And let him reconcile the
worker, if he can, to Mr.,
Hoover's curt refusal to use
his influence to make the
loans of millions to the rail-
roads conditional on their
agreement not to cut wages,
Or-at least-let him tell
us something Of the fruits
of Mr.. Hoover's deep and
sympathetic study of the
needs of the workingman.
The Washington times., 1932-09-30

THE most remarkable
Il feature Of Mr.. Hoover s
campaign thus far has been
the dearth of supporters OF
a high order on the stump.
The ablest of these has been
Ogden Mills, but no one
would suspect his ability
from the speeches he made
in Maine and Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Hurley" Hurley of the,
Bayonets and Tanks has
never been impressive in
discussing existing issues and
Hurley of the Bayonets
and Tanks" is not apt to be
an appealing figure hence
forth. But the utter poverty
of material in the Hoover
camp is best illustrated by
the seeming fact that the
best that can be offered for
labor circles is Secretary
Doak, who has been as use
full to the unemployed in
the present crisis as Hyde
has been to the farmers.
It will be recalled that his
selection as the representa-
tive Of labor in the Cabinet
was not approved by the
American Federation.
Like former Secretary Of
Labor Davis, now on trial in
New York city while aspiring
for the Senate in Pennsyl-
vania, Mr.. Doak has been a
politician in the labor move
ment and he has not per-
mitted his own advancement
outside labor circles to be
endangered by any notable
devotion to the organized or
unorganized workers.
We recall so we'll his sup
port of one of the Wagner
bills until he entered the
Cabinet and got his instruc-
tions; and Mr.. Doak marched
without a blush into the
camp opposed. Such is Mr..
Doak,
