until a rope brushed against his back. That
was as far as he could go; it was neck or

hundred and ninety pounds behind a left hook
to the Sailors heart.
A convulsive shudder shook the Sailor. His
arms dropped nerveess. He swayed as though
strung from invisible gibbet His knees be-

shorn of vindictiveness by the CHASTITY sight,

the official could act, the Sailor tottered and
crashed to the canvas.

WAGES VIOLATE

Comparisons Show Living Cost
Since 1918 Has Not Been
Basis for Pay Levels .

The Government is giving
the lie to its own figures, and
going paradoxical to its own
contentious, by reducing wages
of Federal employees, accord
ing to a complete and detailed
comparison of wages and liv-
ing costs since 1913, intro
duced in Congress and dis
tributed to all members.
The statistics. compiled by Ul'
rey J. Biller, veteran fiscal ex'
pert of the organized Federal EN-
ployes, and vice president OF the
National Federation. shows that
the Federal employees dollar now
is worth only 10 cents as com.
pared to living costs, contrasteo
to 1918 as the Governments nor
NAL year for index figures.
"SaIary Lags"
The official Government index
number on the cost of living was
1853 in 1881, with 100 the 1913
basic figure and year.
The index number for 1929 was
171.3; for 1880. 1907; or, in other
words, living cost in 1929 was
171.3 per cent of the cost in 1918
From 1918 to 1924, the $4,000
Federal executive thus lost an
average Of $2,875 a year, in his
salary lag" or failure Of salary
to keep up with mounting living
costs, says the report, whose in
PRODUCTION at the Capitol was
sponsored by Representative Ed
ward P. Costigan, of Colorado.
Further Departures
The present index number OF
living costs is 140, and at this
rate the minimum Federal salary
now, $1,26O, does not correspond
with the minimum salary of 5000

the Governments own figures,

out.

50 TRADE AIDES

The Federal Trade Commission
today was slated to join the
Federal Farm Board in a di-
lemma over whether to discharge
outright many employees now on
indefinite furlough.
The trade body faces the pos
sibility of having to discharge
so of its workers. now on fur
Tough, unless the Comptroller
General modifies some of his
rulings, which is regarded as
unlikely. Unless these so are
discharged outright, the trade
body must impound in the Treas
ury $4,000 of it's already cur
tailed funds, representing a
months salary for each employe.
One alternative, however is
putting still more employees on
indefinite furloueh, so that the
commission would be saving their
salaries after the first month
that months salary having to
be sent to the Treasury.
Already the commission has
furloughed 83 employees.

ACT To CHANGE
RETIREMENT
SYSTEM
National Federation Plans to
Push Only One Major Bill
at Next Session

The National Federation of
Federal Employees will concen-
trate its efforts during the
next session of Congress in an
attempt to block unfavorable
legislation instead of trying to
push favorable legislation.
John D. Cloud, national Or
ganizer for the federation. who is
in Washington rejuvenating vari-
GUS District locals and aiding in
the membership campaign, to-
day pointed out that organized
Government workers cannot ex-
pect much beneficent legislation
in these times.
Move for Retirement
Only two things will be agi-
tated for, he said: One is optional
retirement after 80 years of ser.
vice, a major objective Of Fed
eral workers for years; the other
is placing deputy solicitors Of
internal revenue under classified
civil service status.
Vice President Ulrey J. Biller
of the federation sees little hope
of passing the liberalized retire
ment measure. Federal stats
ticians have estimated it will cost
the Government $19.000,000 more
annually if employees have the
right to retire after 80 years Of
service, whatever their age.
This figure is exaggerated, Mr..
Biller says. but even a slight
extra cost will nullify chances for
the measure.
Deputy collectors are now polit-
ical appointees. and should come
under the merit system, Mr..
Cloud says, insisting it will not
cost the Government any more
to do this.
Opposed to Plan
The collectors themselves op-
pose the plan. saying that since
their deputies must be responsible
to their collectors the latter
should be allowed to choose
their aides.
While not optimistic over legis-
lative possibilities, Mr.. Cloud and
Mr.. Biller pointed out today that
some harsh provisions of the
economy act may be modified
as soon as Congress reconvenes.

AS TENANT
Uncle Sam Highly Desirable
to Property Owners Vietng
for His Patronage

When the Government un-
dertakes to lease a building,
the matter Of space require
ments and suitability come far
before price, but nevertheless
the Comptroller General un-
der a new ruling makes clear
that every means must be
taken by the office in ques-
ton to get the cheapest build
ing consistent with adequate
space and suitable conditions.
Every depar ent of the
Government has considerable
property under lease. The De
partment of Agriculture alone
is leasing more than 1000 pieces
of property besides all it owns
outright. Negotiations for these
leases alone makes for a big
job. and with the current leasing
season of the Government now
on, this business is occupying
most of the departments just
now.
The choice of quarters is, in
many instances, left to a large
extent to the subordinate eAecu-
tive most concerned with The
offices. Also, upon him rests
the responsibility of getting suit
able buildings at reasonable
rates, with the Comptroller Ger
eral ever alert to the possibility
that more lease money than
necessary is being paid, and
with later growth of his division

This is the advice of the famous
beauty specialist, Helena Rubin

One of the most beneficial beau
ty masks is a simple one that every
woman can concoct at home out of

After this second application Is

Another very simple mask which
Madame Rubinstein recommends
may be with two tablespoonful of
cooked oatmeal, four tablespoon

paste and applied like the egg
pack. A mask of thin muslin or
gauze cut in pattern will help to
secure the mask on the face.
