 The Chamber was in receipt of au acknowledgement from the House Ways and Means Committee of the Chambers endorsement of the Hill depreciated currency bill and it's plea for action to aid the Alas kan fishing industry.

 Shattuck Visits Olympia
 Senator Allen Shattuck, who re- turned this week from Seattle, said he and Auditor Elect Frank A Boyle had spent a day in Olym- pia where they called on Gov Clarence D. Martin and visited the State Legislature and watched it in action.

With forty-three Legislatures and Congress in session. eager office-holders all over the United States are seeking new financial philosophers stone" They want tax that will produce all the money public servants spend,. but which the people will not know they are paying.
 To date through all the ages in which man has been experimenting with government no such inn post ever has been devised The nearest approach to it. perhaps, the tariff during the years when this country was applying itself to the laudable purpose of building up a national industrial estab- llishment
 For a couple of decades, with the simple tastes that then ruled in Congress, the amount realized from taxes on imports than sufficed for the real needs of the Federal Government. Of course, ways and means were found to spend every dollar of it; trust the man in office to attend to that detail; but Congress merely had to consider ways and means of utilizing the handsome national in come and was little concerned with the matter of raising money.

To the contrary every suggestion of increased levels of any kind or character has brought new howls of protest from the indignant multitude.

CHAPTER 27. A CHORE FOR POOLE

Kenneth Poole, looking as ruddy and smooth as though he had risen from eight hours dreamless slum- Der, helped himself largely to jam and eggs and said
 "Ill waffle this last one, if you are sure you've finished. I gather Mrs. Lodely breakfasts upStairs?'
 She does" Armitage pus h c back from the table and began luxuriously to fill his pipe. "So does her son. At least he did yes terday."
 I'm not sure I understand Lodely's type enough to understand Lodely," Poole went on. He cer- tainly lost his wool just before he went to his hye-byles. Couldn't follow his line of temper, quite He paused, before adding very cas- ually-"I got the impression you could, though"
 Spoken in the best Poole man. ner. Oh, MT. Armitage, what g charming boy that secretary oi yours is! Something so sympa- thetic about him. He dodged thf box of matches hurled at him and sobered.
 "Lodely has cause or, at least excuse to bait me" Farrell admit tea. But I'm beginning to feal he dislikes me for the wrong req sons. There's nothing more ob- stwuctive to progress"
 Mind if I ring for some more toast?" asked Poole helpfully.
 Why not order yourself ar omelet as wel1? You've got ,te keep your strength up somehow
 Now, why in the world didn't you suggest that just after the fish? You've spoilt what might have been an excellent breakfast : Poole turned his reproachful gaze from Armitage to the opening door and the reproach vanished. "Hul- 10! I say, Gaffen, you really are 8 bit of a thought-reader, aren't you? Toast-hot, thin toast "a whole rackful of fresh toast borne il upon a thought wave"
 We haven't forgotten youl breakfasts, sir" said the beaming Gaffen. Armitage might get re- spect, liking, intelligent response from his domestic staff, but he was amusedly aware that it was Poole-distant cousin, private sec retary and unofficial second-in- command-who held their hearts We fancied you might be glad to enjoy a good British breakfast again"
 'All the same, I put on nearly 10 pounds in New York" said Poole.
 Mrs. Lodely, sir, has come on down." said Gaffen to Armitage She is in the drawing room. She would be glad of a moment with you at your convenience"
 AS the door closed upon the butler, Armitage stood up.
 By the way, Poole, forgot to tell you, but Mrs. Lodely is to be your holiday-task"
 Poole looked mortified.
 Haven't you got mining inter ests in Vesuvius or fishing rights round the Pole that l ought to see about instead?" he asked ear nestly. T mean, Mrs. Lodelys most interesting and all that, but the only thing we have in common is that she went out with the Belvoir hunt one day last year and I went out with the Belvoir hunt one day last year And it wasn't even the same day"
 Well, you'll have to go on dis cuSsing that lamentable mischance for at least another week. re- turned Armitage hearteningly. q will look after Mark, but I'd be grateful if you could take the lady off my hands. Do the usual shows with her and so on."

 That certainly doesn't sound hopeful for me-" admitted Armit- age equally.
 And now I'm all the more pug zled as to why your doin' so much for Mark. I sh'd have thought you'd do less, if anythin!" She peered at him with sudden sus- piction. Seems to me unnatural that you should wish him we'll"
 Armitage laughed aloud-she was so obviously crude in her emotion al life.
 i've asked you to stay on here with your son." he pointed out. If you still don't think he's safe ir my house I can't, I'm afraid, convince you otherwise. But Miss Quentin's quite confident that I don't plan to poison your sons food or throw him downstairs, even f I do look upon him as a rival. !" "You-she-" Mrs. Lodely was actually gaping at him. Does that mean you told her - you wanted to marry her?"
 Certainly I told her"

d. C.. Man Told to See
His "COngressman''

To the Editor of The Star:
Listen to this I'm a resident of the
District of Columbia and as such ap-
piled for position as a supervisor in
one of the c. C. c. camps. Very ad-
verse circumstances prompted the ap-
plication. though it was based on solid
experience as high non-com. in the
United States Engineers. backed by ex-
perience on the Mexican border, in
Mexico and in France.
My original application was directed
to the director of this C. c. c. The
director very courteously replied. stating
he had no authority to make such
appointments, referring me to the De-
partment of Agriculture. After writing
the latter I finally received a reply,
which, in part. read as follows: If
you have not already done SO, it might
be well for you to discuss this matter
with your Congressman, as we are
being governed largely by their wishes
IN the matter OF these appointments"
In as tight spot as 1 am, which
equals any not on community in the
District Of Columbia, I still have q
sense OF humor. Who's our Congress-
man? A. G. ROBERTSON.

Safe Beyond Thirty.

An anonymous medical practitioner

clares that thirty is the critical period
In mans life and that once that line
OF a score and ten has been passed
there is little danger of encountering
those diseases which appear to spe-
cialize on youth.
Anemia, for example, is supposed to
DO practically unknown after thirty
Rheumatic fever. also, rarely appears
SO late Epilepsy and goitre are c1assi-
ned In the same bracket as early
rather than late comers. And con-
sumption customarily begins its dev-
astating business long before the close
of the third decade.
But Nature is a juggler adept in the
maintenance of balances. Thus for
the perilS escaped commensurate
number of new risks may be presumed
to be developed. Arthritis would be
case in point, attacking the middle
aged and the old as it does.
FernapS, SO viewed, every year, every

scores of swords of Damocles over his

threats materialize. The timid soul.
therefore, dies many deaths, as Shake
speare said, whereas one is quite
enough in the circumstances.
The cultivation of a rational degree
OF courage. possibly, would help. And
the best foundation for such hardihood
certainly would be sensible habits of
work and play. eating and sleeping.
Some men may have learned that les

the unwisdom Of the latter is the

is no SWindle here, such as Is involved
in most of the made magic. This
is the real thing, fresh from the heart.
Later than usual this year has this
great trick held of, owing to Septem-
ber-like October, but now it Is begin
ming In earnest, and 1t behoOves every
squirrel-watcher to watch the leaves,
too.
There is inexhaustible amusement
here. watching the dogWoods begin to
turn, their green leaves shortly becom-
ing the most brilliant reds. The plural
is necessary. There is not one red, here,
but many, each a different note in q
painting OF commonplace mystery.
\ \ \
Even before the reds come the vel
lows. One would not say that the most
brilliant manifestations Of Autumn are
the most interesting. Every subtle

way as important as any, and quite as
| interesting to the steady watcher.
The chronic observer gets the most
from his observing.
The round world becomes a real spec

every place is both theater and seat and

A good eye for the niceties of life is
required, the same sort Of eyesight is
necessary for what might be called the
"smallities" of life.

One who walks this way eyerv dav is
able to see both the niceites OF subtle
changes, and the essential littleness of
them.
There is no great shock, no grand
smash, In the everyday changes going
on all about lis. They are calm. in

nature never seems to move; he wants
noise. where Nature is all quiet; he de-
mands visible effort, where she accom-

Here on this street, with its great
trees. its lawns, shrubs, homes, Nature
is causing changes day by day, but not
a one of them cries out about it.
Nothing with eyes would note them,
indeed, but for the directing mind,
which is able to compare one days ap-
pearances with another.
This is the JOY of the master observer,
who goes about quietly enjoying life in
his own way. Nor Is he unique. His Is a
great guild Of pleasant men and women,
who somehow came early to the con-
clusion that life could not be entirely

were determined to make it,
These happy guild members set UP

out of seeming stupidity.

glorious observation place, extended on
all sides. according to circumstances.
Change be what it will, it but offers
another opportunity for interesting OBJ
Servation.
Nothing is too small. nothing too
great, to serve its place in this program.
Life begins at 40, indeed! Actually

A Tin From Canada.

From the Vancouver British Columbia) Sun.
Americans, apprehensive of imitation,
are reported shipping their dollars to
England and Canada Americans who
do this are foolish. They should keep
idle money at home.
There is nothing wrong with Uncle
Sans dollar. It is probably the safest
dollar in the world. It has behind it
a greater per capita wealth in territory
and foods and goods and chronological
productive capacity than any dollar on
earth.
The truth is that Uncle Sam and his
citizens, while rich in natural wealth
and productive capacity, are poor in
psychology and philosophy. Americans
have not yet learned that in sports, in
money and in life losses and reverses
are all part of the game.
Wise old John Bull, rich in expert
ence and philosophy, grew wealthy by
taking losses; highlands objective was
to always keep the game or the busi-
ness or the country going.
