Washington - The morale of government employees probably Is lower than it ever was before.
 There hundreds of thousands of workers, widely regarded as a privileged class and often called "parasltes' by the cheap dema- gogues of Congress, are no longer to be envied. They haven't yet shared approximately the misery of the mass of wage earners em- ployed by private business, but they have been going through a miserable period in which every thing is uncertain except for the certainty that things are going to get worse. At time when President Roosevelt himself has urged wage increases on private industry, a large proportion of them face the Likelihood of 40 per cent reduc- tion of income if they are lucky enough not to lose their jobs. And Washington isn't such a relatively happy place to live in as it used to be. Nervousness, which some times approaches hysteria. is in the air.
 Four Worries
 These are the chief causes of worry:
 I. The Roosevelt economy pro- gram, if carried through, means that a lot of people are going to lose their jobs-nobody can guess who-or that, as made possible under a bill just passed the house, much larger numbers will be fur loughed for 90 days without pay.
 2. No one has any idea what will happen-or to whom-under the much press-agented govern- ment reorganization program which is tied up with the economy drive. The administration has de- layed announcement of its plans because it has found reorganiza-- ton much more difficult than had been expected.
 3. The patronage bosses of the democratic party would like to give out as many jobs to their clamoring hordes as they can. There's a definite attempt to break down at least part of the civil service system by which federal employees have considered themselves protected. About 130,.. 900 small jobs are not under civil service in addition to the higher posts = most of which would go to democrats in any event. Those jobs have always been considered "safe," but their occupants are worrying now and there are sev- eral thousand more highly-paid employees brought under civil ser vice during the Hoover adminls- tration. Many democrats favor tax

The American Museum of Natural His tory in New York has never had so many visitors and telephone calls as in the last few days. New York city and vicinity is overrun with termites this spring and households are resorting to every means at their conn mand to get rid of the white ants. Nothing is worse than to have colony of ants make its way into your home. They do untold damage and often remain unseen through out their ravaging. The termite is fond of burrowing into wood and consequently destroys much property. State Agriculture Departments or the U. s. Department of Agriculture at Washington usually can give the best advice on their eradications as well as related subjects. Always consult them.

ously on, their values cherished and conserved The values of pr Hibben's gentle, patient but val iant character will be added per- manently to the institution which will cherish his name.
 In his vocabulary conscience" obligation" responsibility" and "duty" were key words. His meas ured speech and poise bespoke the philosophic mind in the presence of perplexities. But it was the in- telligent and kindly sympathy of his heart with youth that made him beloved. As one looks back to the academic disquiet" to which he succeeded in 1912, it is clear that he "came into the kingdom for such a time" He left Princeton a united community. with advanc- ed standards of scholarship as we'll as with great material gains both in endowment and equipment. The students discovered his quality even before he became president. The New English Dictionary, as an illustration of a colloquial use of a word which they applied to him, meaning honorable" and Square dealing" quotes the phrase "as white a man as I ever knew" That might be his epitaph.

 New York.--Ever since there ms a metropolitan New York, writers have made capital of the citv's needless heartlessness. O. Henry understood the loneliness that is furnished with dingy hali- rooms. He knew the social desoia- tion of crowded streets.
 But few fictioneers have mem toned the city's lonely jobs. Such as the thousands of workers in the gloomy litle change booths in the subways, or motormen in the cabs of trains. or patrolmen in the de- serted financial district at night, pacing their beats along the silent, lowering canyons.
 Loneliest Copper
 Herbert McKinnon for 16 years has had the loneliest job in New York. At least, that's the way McKinnon fels about it.
 The ruddy, taciturn Scot is, of all things, 8 traffic cop. Yet, for nine hours each day, from the time he pulls on his white gloves in the morning to the time when he steps down from. his little platform, he doesn't see a single pedestrian. His post is on the vehicular viaduct that carries Park avenue around the Grand Central building, and more than 30,000 cars speed past him every day.
 McKinnon says it took him i've years just to get used to the job, and even now he still gets the feel ing sometimes that he's the only man in the world not in an auto mobile And he never gets chance to talk to a driver; although he knows hundreds of chauffeurs by sight, and the men they drive for, and all the city officials. They wave as they pass, and are gone. The policeman misses eU-Mayor Jimmy walker, who always used to lean out and yell "Hi. Mac" The only excitement he has had in sixteen years was in 1928 when a metal star fell on the clock on the southern facade of the build ing and dented the concrete right beside him.
 People riding by have noticed and felt sorry for McKinnon, and at Christmas time lots of big cars slow up beside him to deliver gifts of cigars and socks and theike. He Ouly nus u. CiiduSSp ShOu6As " yell a hurried thanks.
 McKinnon's wife has been asking him to buy a car, but he is ada- mant on that score. Says he wouldn't have one as a gift. Bridging the Years
 Another lonely job is the one Sven Peterson has. He's the offi- cial painter of Brooklyn bridge, and has been for 30 years. Swing ing from his bosn's chair 133 feet above the East river, or clambor- ing surefootedly up the maze of cables, he slaps on fresh pigment and inches slowly along on task that's never done. For when he gets to one end of the 6,000-foot bridge it's time to start all over again at the other.
 The famous structure, one of the wonders of the engineering world, is spick and span now, ready for a semi-centennial cele- bration of its opening on May "A, 1883. Peterson is a little sad about the way traffic is decreasing. what with the subways and other bridges that have been built since. He says only 9,000,000 vehicles passed over it last year. Lonely fellow that he, though, swing ing from his eerie perches, few million people, more or less, make little difference.

 Answer-Antitetanus serum tetanus anti toxin) is most efficacious as prophylatic dose. which should be given the patient as soon as nossible after any wound injury which may involve such infection. Once the disease has developed. the antitoxin is of value only when administered in very large doses, at least 4O,- 900 units, into the muscles or other tissues, into the vein and into the cistern of space around the brain and spinal cord. Most lives are saved when the tetanus antitoxin is in- jected into the cistern through trephine open ing in the skull.

RUSSIAN INDUSTRY
AMAzES SENATOR
Reynolds Is Not Yet Ready,
However, to Declare Vote
for Soviet Recognition.
BY the Associated Pre-

BY the Associated Press.
Although he thinks Russia is a re-
markable country, Senator Reynolds,
Democrat, Of North Carolina Is not
ready to say whether he would vote for
its recognition by the United States.
Speaking yesterday on his return from
q trip to Russia, the Senator said he
was particularly impressed with Rus
sian industry, shipping and agriculture.
Apparently, he said, there Is no Russian
unemployment problem.
He found transportation and housing
facilities IN the larger cities terrible,
but said this was a situation that had
grown up rapidly In the last few years
and was being remedied as fast as pos
sible.
Before deciding his official stand on
Russia recognition the Senator plans to
make a further study of Soviet trade
and what he termed Subsidiary sub
jects."
Impressed with Activity.

Reynolds said, with the activity Of the
entire country. In Moscow, Leningrad
and even the smaller cities there is q
great amount Of manufacturing, rang
ing from synthetic rubber to automobiles
and airplanes.

Transportation. Housing Poor.

and busses. but there are not enough of
them to handle the crowds. Each per-
