MitcheII's Interest Reflected
BY Cooperation; Hope for
Pay Cut Repeal
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Organizations of Federal EN-.
ployes are busy, prior to the con-
Vening of the next session of Con-
Rress, in working out legislative
programs covering the entire field
Of reforms they seek.
Legislation setting up concilia-
don committees in all Federal Of
&ices, both in Washington and in
the field, for the purpose Of iron
ing out difficulties that arise be-
tween employees and supervising
officials, is being drafted by a
committee of the organizations
not affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.
A member of the Civil Service
Commission staff has been as
signed to assist in this work, which
Is of much interest to President
Harry B. Mitchell, since he set up
the first such committee in the
commission itself.
Pay Cut Repeal Bill
A similar bill will be drawn up
on behalf of the other Federal
employees organizations, those af-
filiated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Both bills, it is
expected, will be inclusive in scope,
covering not only committees in
the various Federal agencies but
Q Civil Service appeals court, COW
Oring the entire service.
Although it appears probable
that the IS per cent pay cut will
be lifted, in part at least, by EX-
ecutive order, within the next six
months, the American Federation
OF Government Employees and its
Affiliates in the American Fedora.
ton of Labor feel that repeal OF
the pay cut should be effected
through legislation, and presum-
ably bill for this purpose will be
drafted soon.
Meanwhile, on December 10, at
Central High School auditorium,
the A. F. G. E. will sponsor a
mass meeting of protest against
the pay cut, to which all Federal
employees are invited, as well as
any others who oppose the pay
cut.
Veterans Concerned
If necessary, amplifiers will be
Installed to the stadium for over.

fraternal groups will send repre-
SentativeS.
Veterans are as much con-
eerned as Federal employees about
the economy act, and Victory
Post, American Legion, will hold
Q mass meeting on January 2, at
which members of Congress who
opposed the economy act will be
guests of honor.
Comprehensive legislative pro.
grams will be ready on behalf OF
the various Federal employees
groups when Congress convenes.
Inasmuch as patronage is ex'
pected to be an important ques-
ton H. the coming session, the
Federal employees are endeavor1ng
to strengthen the merit system as
much as possible.

sleepy. I'm going to stay up until after
midnight"
Half-past struck and Floyd was
struggling to keep his heavy eyelids up.
He left his chair and curled up on the
end Of the couch. He tried to read a
book, but his head nodded over it. He
frightened up toward o'clock and said,
I'm waiting to hear the orchestra.
That will be great. I've never heard
them because I had to 60 to bed so
early"
Nine o'clock struck and the orchestra
began playing. Floyd heard the OPEN
sit upright, to look bright and attentive
but he slid slowly down against the
pillows and by 9:10 he was as soundly
asleep as dormouSe. Dad and mother
managed to get him upstairs and to bed,
but Floyd knew little about it. When
1t was time to rise next morning he had
to be called repeatedly and finally
hauled out of bed. II just want to fin
ish my nap" he said.
The day was not a huge success He
was tired and showed it. He did his
chores and played until about O'Clock.
Then he decided that he would read
little and dropped off to sleep on the
couch. His mother let him sleep until
half an hour before teatime. when she
shook him up and sent him to get
ready for his evening meal. At bed
time he said, I'm not so sleepy, but I
guess I'd better stick to o'clock for
a while. I wasn't so hot today, or last
night either But bet that next year
I can do it."
It will not do any harm to let child
experiment now and then and discover
that the regulations he finds so hard
are not punishments but favors. Chill
dren cannot be expected to take our
word for everything. They must have
chance to test us occasionally When
they do so and find us reliable they
have just so much more faith in our
judgment and in our justice.
They cannot be permitted to expert
ment with dangerous situations, but
there are many safe experiments they
can perform with benefit to themselves
and with advantage to their parents
and teachers.

His gloom so impressed his friend
and ally. Hiram johnson of California,
that he arose to make an impassioned
plea that he dream on.
"Oh, be not discouraged, sir!" said
johnson. "Never mind the temporary
defeat or the temporary disaster.
such as yours ultimately will prevail. I"
On the day Missouri cast the neces-
sary vote making the twentieth amend
ment part Of the Constitution, it was
johnson who interrupted consideration
Of the Glass banking bill long enough
to pay tribute to Norris triumph.
He reminded the Senate of the days
when some regarded Norris as a
dreamer. And again he counseled his
friend to dream on, for your dreams
are ours and your dreams mean the
benefit Of the American people"
It's a vastly different Norris who
goes about his duties in the Senate to-
day. Once his friends made 1t a point
to seek him out and cheer him up.
1t Is no secret that in those days
he wanted to quit at times, thinking
his battles we're hopeless.
Now one of his dreams has come
true. Another-putting Muscle Shoals
in operation-seems nearer realization
now than ever before. President-elect
Roosevelt's recent visit to the Shoals,
with Norris along. is at least an indi-
cation that something will be attempted.
But the Senator is still dreaming.
And his third dream is one he has
dreamed since he entered politics.
He wants to retire from the Senate
and go back to Nebraska as Governor
As such he wants to build in that State
a government which will serve as a
model for other States
He may not realize that dream. but
he's dreaming Of it just the same.

They were careful to cut the pieces
exact and true and on the straight of
the goods.
For scanning they used No. 60 white
thread. They had a firm, but small
knot at the start Of the seam which
was made one-quarter inch in from
the raw edges. They made two or
three back stitches at the end of the
seam to fasten 1t securely.
They placed a block Of white, cut
eight and one-half inches square on
all sides Of the pieced block. putting the
next pieced blocks so that the upper

the lower right-hand corner of the
next pieced block and the lower right
hand corner of this block touched the

oOupie-CIuu CluD. 6eln8 an
- ardent follower Of your beauty
column I have decided to ask
your advice concerning my problem. I
AM a bookkeeper and spend most of the
day with my head bent down. This posi-
ton might allow the muscles to sag and
be the cause Of the defect. Can you
suggest some way In which ! might
remedy this or prevent myself from
getting three or more chins? CD My
weight Is 118 pounds and am feet
2 inches tall and % years of age. I
think this is rather early to have more
than one chin-dont you. Miss Leads2
I know that you can help me In this
matter. HELENE.
Answers: Double chins have q way of
accumulating very quickly on those who
have a sedentary occupation which
keeps the head bent with the neck
ana throat muscles relaxed. The best
way to overcome this problem is to
remind yourself several times during
the day that the head and throat
muscles must be raised from the bent
position. OF course, 1t takes a little
practice, especially when one is busy
over desk or typewriter, but 1t is
we'll worth the effort. Just raise your
chin, throw the head back and glance
UP at the ceiling. then turn your head
first to the left and then to the right.
Repeat this simple but effective exer-
else several times during the day. At
lunch time take few simple chin and
neck exercises. Stand erect, feet apart,
hands at sides, bend backward, bringing
arms up and out as far as possible,
while inhaling deeply. Then bend for
ward, arching back as much as possible,
and bringing the arms downward far
back between the legs while exhaling
Continue the backward and forward
bending ten to fifteen times two or three
times day. This exercise will also re-
lieve the tension on other muscles
caused by your sedentary work. An
other excellent exercise is to raise both
arms overhead and stretch upward as
far as possible, raising the chin and

Crosses and Losses for the

Surely this quilt must be developed

the losses, and crosses are almost as
bad. OF course. one could work out
the crosses in blue and the losses in
red, with a background Of white or

Of the Nancy Page Quilt Club smiled
at Nancy's Interpretation of her color

they set to work to make 1t.
First they cut the pattern and pasted
1t in their scrap book. Then they sent
