AH POLICY
Praised By Head of Federal
Home Loan Board

Washington.--A glowing tribute
was paid to the policies and standards
of the American Federation of Labor
by William F. Stevenson, former con-
gresham, now chairman of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board and the
Home Owners Loan Corporation, in
an address before the 1888 convention
of the A. F. of L. here.
Gompers' Patriotism
at is both an honor and privilege
to be permitted to address this very
representative assembly of American
industrial life," Mr.. Stevenson said.
81 have been familiar with the op-
erations of the American Federation
of Labor since / entered congress at
the beginning of the World War.
ct was then headed by Mr.. Samuel
| Gompers whom came to consider one
of the greatest living Americans Of
that period. His patriotism, his en-
ergy and his wise counsel were a
tower of strength to the administra-
| tion then facing that great contest,
and | am glad to see that recognition
is to be given to his memory by the
erection Of a monument in this city,
where as head of your organization
he labored.
Supported A. F. of L. Legislation
"My experience throughout 16 years
of service in the house of representa-
tives gave men an extensive insight
into the principles and aims of this
great organization. Coming from
district in which there was no con-
nection of this organization, when /
was first elected TO congress, natur-
ally | had no preconceived opinions
as to its purpose, policies or strength.
GAS time went along through the
years, l found myself voting for the
aims which it advocated in legisla-
ton. In all that time I never dis
sented from the program which was
ioffered by the American Federation
of Labor on more than one issue, and
that was one upon whcih there was
mot great effort made at that time.
Always Fair and Right
"My support and advocacy of it's
views in great contests like the con-
test over the Esch-Cummins bill,
which, in many respects, was unfair
to labor, and the contest over the
Howell -Barkley bill which was aimed
to remedy, to a certain extent, that
unfairness, was always the result, not
of lobbying, because no representative
of the Federation of Labor ever asked
me to support or oppose any measure,
in my recollection, but it was because
the things this organization stood for
J were, in my judgment, fair and right.
!. $50 much for my past relation to
your great organization.
, "My observation is that your policy
, has been the maintenance of stand
ards that are fair and right, as ap-
! piled to all persons and classes; be-
, cause if the laboring population re-
ceives a just deal the entire country
is benefited thereby"

Oris;a Of th. Bank Check

The origin Of our bank check goes
back to the Middle Ages, when mer-
chants began intrusting their money
for safe-keeping to the goldsmiths. At
first, when desiring to make payment
the merchants would draw enough to
do so. Later, they found 1t more con-
venient simply to give an order to the
goldsmith to pay a specified sum Of
money out Of what was on deposit be-
longing to them. These orders, with
suitable notifications, have become
our modern bank checks. Similarly,
the receipts the goldsmiths gave to
the merchants for their deposits Of
gold evolved into the modern bank
note.

From the -Asbury Park Evening Press.
The signs Of industrial recovery have
become 90 marked that no one can
doubt their reality. The economic
storm b clearing away, the Sun is
shining and years of heavy clouds are
fast breaking up.
One factor that is producing ACTIVITY
Is the depleted state of merchandise
stocks. 1t has been the report from
countless dealers that their supplies of
goods had been cut to a minimum
never known before. Customers have
often had to travel from shop to shop
to get some staple pattern or size of
goods. Just as soon as buying wave
appeared these merchants found thei.
shelves very empty. Their assortments
must have been so low that thev lost
many sales. It can be assumed that
thousands OF merchants, realizing that
this condition was hurting their BUSH
ness, have been sending hurry-up mes
sages to the factories and wholesalers.
Low commodity prices led many con-
Germs to feel that the time had come
to stock up for future needs and avoid
paying price advances. Prices are still
below normal. Concerns that have not
laid In considerable stocks are likely
to get nipped on higher prices.-
We are on the straight path to better
times and many wrong conditions that
worked mischief In former years are
being abolished.

An Eye on the Billions.
rom the Kansas City Star.

FROM the Kansas City Star.
Echoes of the lavish Government
spending OF war times were heard for
years afterward In the revelations Of
inordinate profits by contractors and
by others having to do with the OUT
lays. The vastly enlarged expenditures
were necessary, but not the extrava-
gance and loose methods that became q
part Of them. It is an experience
that the country cannot afford to re-
peat. And now that once more the
Government Is to deal out billions in
q peace-t1me program, 1t Il particu-
larry gratifying to have assurance Of
the utmost watchfulness over every
dollar that Is used.
Secretary Ickes of the Interior. who
Is chairman Of the special Public
Works Board, not only gives the coun-
try that assurance, but takes note Of
the fact that waste would mean that
much less for labor, the central pur-
pose OF the understanding that, after
all, 1t Is the taxpayers money and that
those who must foot the bill have the
right to expect the extreme vigilance
in the OUTLAWS. This statement from
an administration source should tend
to allay any misgivings that may have
existed about the launching of huge
program ~ expenditures at q time
when the burden of taxation already
had become excessive.
In two particulars the protection
against waste will need to be exer-
cised. First of all, the prospects I'M
dertaken will have to be worthy, justi-
fed not only by the employment they
will furnish, but by the permanent
BENEFITS the public may expect from
them. Following that there must be
the vigilance as to contracts and actual
handling Of the funds. II both re-
quirements are met, 1t Is entirely rea-
sonable to expect that the whole
program will serve the fine purposes
for which 1t was designed.

pleaded that q gust Of wind had car
ried the ball of the course to the
highway. 1t took nineteen pages OF de-
cision for the court to reach q contrary
conclusion. His findings constitute a
history Of the game Of golf, considera-
ton Of its value Is q means Of healthfuI
exercise and q differentiation between
ball at rest. when 1t is an innocent,
lawful article, and ball in motion
when 1t becomes q VERY dangerous
missile" At this point the judges
decision touches upon a matter very
near to the hearts of all golfers. He
says Of the ball: "Its flight and direc-
ton cannot always be controlled by
the player; the uncertainty is a part
of the game; the ball when struck is
liable to 60 down the fairway or fly
of to the right or left, or at any
angle"
Every golfer will subscribe warmly
to these conclusions. The uncertainty
of the flight of the golf ball is the
essence Of the game. The winds that
blow over the course. and that may
defect the ball far from its intended
direction, are likewise part Of the game
II gust Of wind carries the ball to
right or left, aided perhaps by a hook
or slice. that is likewise feature of
the sport. If person who is beyond
the bounds Is hit the responsibility,
according to this wise and upright
judge, lies with the one who swung
the club and smote the ball and took
his chances with his hooks or slices
and the winds. A highway is not a
fairway, nor is a passing vehicle a
hazard This ruling may be resented
by golfers and perhaps appealed in this
particular case. but 1t will assuredly,
as long as it stands unreversed by q
higher tribunal, be a reinsurance to
those who use the roads in the neigh
borhood Of golf courses.

law might be modified to the extent
that those married persons receiving
less than $4,000, and who have been
discharged because Of marital status,
will be considered available for employ
ment in one Of the new activities Of
the Federal Government.
The law as written declares that
"in the appointment of persons to the
classified civil service. preference shall
be given to persons other than married
persons living with husband or wife,
such husband or wife being in the
service of the United States or the
District of Columbia" As many of the
new positions created under the re-
covery legislation are not in the classi-
fled civil service, the marital status. 1t
would seem, need not be considered
And in cases where there have been
obvious acts of injustice In making
separations from the service because
of the marital clause there would lie
the hope of remedy in making new jobs
available for the victims.
It would be a mistake, however, to
place much confidence in the laws
modification at this time as accom-
plishing anything more than q helpful
gesture in the right direction. The
number of new jobs to be provided Is
still uncertain. There is no uncertainty
about the hordes of applicants. backed
by political influence, and it would be
optimistic indeed to believe that many
Of those who have lost classified civil
service status because Of matrimony
will regain q Job outside the civil
service Immediately. Modification would
be helpful, however, as pointing the
way to eventual discard of law which
takes into consideration factors that
have no bearing on efficiency or merit
of an employee. Positions in the Federal
service should be gained on merit alone
and retained on merit alone. Once
that rule is broken down. the spoils
system is that much nearer.

Mattern was not interested so much in
showing the world how the earth could
be circumnavigated as he was in dis
covering whether he could beat the Post
and Gatty record of eight days and
some hours. He did not jeopardize
that record. He and others are glad
that he lives to save the attempt from
being a tragedy"
"Mattern's career" says the Newark
Evening News, "has been marked by
glamour, first as a student in the Arnly's
aviation school at Kelly Field, then
as stunt flyer for the movies, a test
and mail pilot and finally as the 1892
partner of Bennett Griffin in an at
tempt to circle the world This came
to grief when their plane crashed in
an unromantic peat bog half way be-
tween Berlin and Moscow. Mattern is
credited with the remark to cautious
advisers that there's no chance of
coming out Of this world alive. anyway
but we're all glad his exit has been
postponed"
Protests against flights which mean
great effort or peril for rescuers are
voiced by the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader
and the Asbury Park Evening Press.
The Des Moines Tribune describes the
adventure as "a daredevil stunt of no
Importance scientifically"
One more step in. the progress Of
round-the-world flying is hailed by
the Port Huron Times Herald. with the
comment that we may not doubt that
the time will come. not SO very far
nence, when that which Mattern at.
tempted will 4 be a mere commonplace
OF travel" The. Dayton Daily News
views the episode as "a reminder that
efforts to save lost flyers should not
soon be relinquished as futile. but
neither should purely stunt flights be
made" The New Orleans Times-Pica-
yune points to existing satisfaction that
he solved the problem of existence and
subsistence through long and weary
DAYS with no other aids than his own
self-rellance and resourcefulness."

Modifying an Illogical Rule.

One of the more recent grounds for
criticism against the so-called marital
status law Ii that it has not been ap-
piled uniformly in all departments,
thus leading to charges of favoritism.
Another fact developing now is that
this law, accounting for a major num-
Der Of separations from the service. has
been applied in some establishments
where the vacancies thus caused were
Immediately filled, which means that
the law is not being applied solely on
the grounds Of economy.
Contested from the beginning as an
Illogical and in many cases drastically
unfair departure from the merit system,
It Is high time that the law should be
reviewed with the possibility of its
modification. It Is encouraging to note
reports to the effect that the President
has such a review under consideration,

Though we al know that ""there Il

pretend not to understand how another

light in his home, different books than
we read; admire paintings we think
terrible" see anything pretty In yonder
girl, or have certain tastes in food.
Innocently we set ourselves up e. the
standard In all things, when the plain
truth is that no human being can be q

1t was this theory Edgar Allan Poe
had in mind when he declared, in an
obscure book review, that undoubtedly
certain intellectuals were better equip
ped with taste in literary matters than
others.
1t is well for the average person, now
and then, to remind himself forcibly
that actually, in everyday practice. no
two persons look upon anything In pre-
cisely the same way, and therefore do
not judge In the same manner.
