Price Trends
And Government Salaries

The aacy Of attempting to regulate salaries Of Federal
employees upon statistics covering the cost Of living is well
illustrated by difficulty which the House Appropriations
Committee encounterng attempting to estimate the cost
of articles which will be purchased in the fiscal year 1885
Officials of the Government charged with purchasing
articles which the Government find 1t impossible
TO make definite predictions of how much those articles
xong to cost when purchased of the appropriations
being prepared
: Yet the Government through mystical system Of
calculation endeavorng say that only five per cent OF
the per cut in Federal pay will meet the advance
in the cost living of the employees during the last six
months Of this calendar year.
Brig Gen. Frank T. Hines Administrator of Veterans
Affairs outlining the problem to the House Appropr
aons Committee and in commenting upon the increasing
trend Of prices, said:
= "HoweUer, should the present policies of the GOO-
ernment Which being developed to bring about
increase in prices for cOmmOdes result IN material
0dUunce prices, the amounts included in this est
for supplies and materials 1O be insufficient to
operate the activities of the Veterans Administration
at the percentage Of utilization anticipated ExPER.
INCREASING RAPIDLY IN COST"
General Hines then put into the record table Of prices
paid recently by the Veterans Administration for various
articles and compared with the prices paid for the
same articles in the fiscal year 1888 -
This comparison showed TREMENDOUS INCREASES IN
The PRICES.
Ali Of these articles are items which the average
purchases regularly for use in his home
In category of food the prices showed INCREASES
UP TO 80 PER CENT, while increases Of much as 30
per cent not uncommon.
Wearing apparel and sewing supplies likewise showed
large increases, item being up 100 per cent.
THESE INCREASES ARE BASED ON ACTUAL PUR
CHAsES AND ARE NOT BASED ON SOMEONE'S
MEMORY OF PURCHASES WHICH HE MADE YEARS
AGO
In the of these increases and the bewderment of
purchasing agents to where prices going in the next
year the DUTY OF CONGRESS TO FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
Is APPARENT.
The quadrupe pay cuts MUST BE REPEALED.

Unfortunately Americans do
not pay as much attention to
elderly people as is the case in
certain other countries.
The aged person is shunted
aside.
This treatment Of the elderly
indicates that they are con-
sidered Of a past generation
and have no part in the
present regime.
They are not consulted in
the homes where they are
located and no effort is made
to interest them in something
thus relieving the monotony

LuchOn
If you want to get off the
beaten track in Europe, then
consider the long Pyrenees
chain, south Of Toulouse and
half way between the Basque
country and the left Of the
River Garonne as it tllmbles
from the Spanish valley Of the
Aran. Waterfalls, high sloping
dales with sleepy lakes and
crashing cascades, amphi-
theaters carved out of the sides
Of the mountains like chapels.
radiating from a gigantic sky
rooted cathedral, peaks covered
with snow, mountainsides COW
cred with lovely, trees and
flowers, toy villages, little
towns, these are some Of the
beauties of this part Of Eur
ope. And when you want to
come back to civilization make
for a wide sunlit verdant
valley, Luchon valley, and
spend a holiday at Luchon, the
principal watering place of the
Pyrenees, a most delightful
spot, where life is animated yet
simply lived.
Luchon was famous for its
sulphurous waters at the time
of the Romans, but after that
time the glories faded. In the
middle of the eighteenth CEN
tury its revival began and {.

LISTEN, WORLD
By Elsie Robinson

OUT OF TEN SHE PASSED
UP THE WHOLE ORCHARD.
What does the world need in
an individual or a President?
Brains and bravery? Yes, these
it needs-and these women have,
in abundance. But more than
brains or bravery it needs BAL
ANCE-BREADTH OF VIEW
POINT.
It isn't the fierce clutch at
the personal objective that will
best serve society: it's the wide
gesture which encompasses the
greatest need.
And the reason for this is OBJ
vious. This is as yet, only half
baked world. Our social register
is still gummed up with crooks,
tramps, morons and stuffed
shirts. And even the best Of us
are stupid and ornery. So it
isn't possible for anyone to de-
wise a code which will fit all Of
us. And if we want to do any
good at all we must be prepared
to make quick changes, and ac-
cept a half loaf if we can't get
whole. Which means everlasting
compromise.
BUT TO AN INTELLIGENT
WOMAN, COMPROMISE IS
STILL, IF ANY, SHORT OF
INFANIY. ADJUST TO OTHER
STANDARDS? WHY SHOULD
SHE, WHEN SHE HAS THE
BEST AND ONLY ONE THERE
is?
AS to Virtue and Valor, any
good mother can give the aver
age male cards and spades
BUT WHEN 1T COMES TO
VISION, THE DUMBEST MAN
CAN MAKE THE SMARTEST
WOMAN LOOK LIKE A Glib
BERING IDIOT
And this isn't because men
are naturally endowed with a
broader outlook than women.
It's entirely a matter of train
ing. Men have been trained to
do teamwork since society first
began. Women have been
trained to play a lone hand.
Men have been trained to look
at things in the large, for the
general profit. Women have
been trained to concentrate on
details-to work for personal
ends.
AS workers, no man will stand
the punishment which almost
any woman will take, or make
the sacrifices. or show the
loyalty.
BUT WHEN MOST YOU
NEED HER COOL, IMPER-
SONAL HUMANITY AND
WHEN MOST SHE, HERSELF,
DESIRES TO FILL THE
TROLE-A WOMAN WILL GO
FEMALE ON YOU AND
WRECK THE WORKS FOR
SOME COCKEYED PERSONAL
NOTION.
Why wouldn't women make
good Presidents-yet?
That's why, as I see 1t. You
don't believe it? All right; now
it's your turn. Bring on your
reasons.

In the third act, Don Jose
