VXTASHINGTON June g. The sordid cry of
w politics has been raised again in the house
of representatives at time when the citizens had
come to believe that the statesmen at last had
nounced personal ambition and partisanshp to pull
together and save American civilization once more.
Would you believe that in such solemn hour as
the present, when the Democratic statesmen are
straining to put the citizens back to work. there
could arise in the halls of the sacred heritage on

$4,000 SUIT is FILED

Hounshell. The suit alleges the

$50, called to the attention of an
assistant supervisor, brought the
reply:
Were not supposed to get that.
That's the job of the auditing
boys"
"Shall I make a note of it on
the margin?"
mo, that's their business"
Usually the method of figuring
the size of crop checks is so COM
plicated that it is difficult for
farmers to know whether the
amount they receive is accurate.
But three farmers in Springfield,
Mo-, discovered that they were be-
ing overpaid and turned the
checks in to the county agent.
How many other mistakes have
been made is impossible to eSti-
mate, but they must be multitude
nous.
These errors seemed to worry
the civil service workers, most of
them government clerks of the old
school type who take a sort of
cantankerous pride in their work.
But even they, finding no one to
share their point of view, now
worry no more.
MOST of the contracts handled
1V1 are for cotton and tobacco.
Comparatively few farmers had
taken up the governments prop
osition on the curtailment of
wheat acreage even before the
drought. There are also a lot of
crop loans on corn.
Take one of the latter, that of
r. CaSsens of Rock Rapids, Ia,
to illustrate how the contract is
handled. His estimated produc-
ton for this year is 1000 bushels
of corn with which he intends to
fatten forty head of hogs. His
carryover for 1888 was $500
bushels and his 1882 carryover is
still 800 bushels. On the basis of
this he gets a crop loan of 5000.
But most of these checks are
mailed to mortgage banks, not the
farmer.
The Cassens contract along with
thousands of others, goes through
the receiving section, then to the
review clerks, then through the
auditing section, until it hits the
machine unit, which instead of
being concentrated in one part of
the building is scattered from the
fourth and fifth floors to the base
ment.
Here the contract is run through
the card punch machine, the gang
punch which checks out the coun-
ty and state, the sorting machine,
the tabulating machine and then
comes to the machine review
clerk.
DUT there is little co-ordina-
- ton between these machines.
A stack of contracts will come
through one; meanwhile two or
three other machines are held up
waiting for work All night long
it is question of working thirty
minutes, then loaflng sixty.
Probably the root of the diff
Guilty is that there is not enough
work to justify night shifts. But

ing machines are rented by the

Miss Allen is not versatile enough
to carry a leading role in any fea-
ture length movie. She is ALWAYS
the same to me and too much of the
same thing is too much for any pic
ture.
The relief comes when probably
the director got enough of Oracle
and ordered Guy Lombardo and his
band to play. Lombardo is one of
the worlds worst actors and should
stick mighty close to his orchestra.
That is my opinion, you know.

The caller was smoking something which seemed

over the gentleman's shoulder and vice versa and
they stood there rocking gently until Mr.. Blanton
of Texas happened along and joined them, when
they rocked three-handed.

overeducated."

All of Me- Poignant
With Human Drama:
4-Star Cast Praised

All of Me-" the title of which
can't convey the human grandeur
that enriches this Paramount pic
ture, came yesterday to the Para.
mount Theatre. and established itself
Immediately as the popular magnet
1t deserves to be.
Not only is the picture noteworthy
from a standpoint Of compelling
drama, but Its cast, led by Fredric
March, Miriam Hopkins, George Raft
and Helen Mack, offers sterling per-
formances.
Briefly, "All Of Me" IS the story
OF an odd, interesting character. a
society girl who rivets attention and
sympathy regardless OF her strange
quest for love. Miss Hopkins, calling
on her entire store OF talent, makes
this character understandable. and
Fredric March, playing opposite her
as the college instructor and engineer,
sustains the dramatic march Of the
story with an equally brilliant per-
Torrance.
Contrast to the social world back
ground is provided by the parallel ro-
nance Of George Raft and Helen
Mack Of the underworld. whose love
for each other Is q sublime thing,
despite their life and surroundings.
It is her contact with this lower
world amour, her effort to help the
lovers out Of prison and difficulty
that finally shows the debutante the
way Of true devotion.
