Elsie Robinson up, God,
With cooking and scrubbing
And the smell of lard,
M the sight of greasy SINKS
M dirty clothes
m sloppy floors
I'm so sick of it all!
Tending kids, too
I love my kids, God;
I love them aWfu1ly,
Honest I do
I'd die for them,
Honest I would
DON'T, DON'T,
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE,
DON'T LET ANYTHING
HAPPEN TO MY K1DSD
But, just the same,
I get so tired
Tending 'em could yell!
Picking up after them,
Wiping their noses,
Mending their socks
And asking them if
They've got their rubbers-
And then, night times,
just when I'm dropping off,
Having them wake me
For a drink of water
God, I'd like a nights sleep!
Then there's the money part
Always scrimping m saving,
Counting every penny,
Never able to get
Any little things for myself
Like one of those
Cute new hats
Always worrying about bills,
Wondering if
Well ever get 'em paid
Waking up scared stiff
Because I dreamed
AL lost his job
God, I'm so tired worrying!
I'm so dog tired, God,
Seems I can't feel any more
Can't even feel myself!
Sometimes l eaten myself
Right in the middle
OF the sweeping,
Standing still,
Trying to remember
That girl who used to be me.
I wonder, God,
If Jesus ever felt like this.
Guess not
Jesus was =; man
Men have things easier.
Men can talk together
When they're working
Men see interesting things
M do different things:
They don't do the same things

LIIIUHITH I

Nature gave him all the breaks.
A man gets more fun, more joy
and more thrills out of life in a
week than a woman gets in a
year.
Did you ever watch a crowd
of males at a baseball game, a
football game, or a horse race?
And did you ever see a crowd
of women who could yell and
shrek so gustily or seem to be
bursting with so much buoy
ancy and enthusiasm? Never!
A woman in the same crowd
may pretend to be thrilled or
excited; but she is secretly
wondering if her nose is red or
if her hair looks frowSy or If
she is catching cold or some
thing else irrelevant. She can't
put her whole SELF into the
thing. I have even known
woman who could mentally
make over a dress while listen
ing to a symphony concert.
When a man comes in after
a morning on the golf links, he
seems to RADIATE all over.
You can almost SEE the joy
oozing from him. He has had
SO much fun that he doesn't
even realize that he is tired.
And how he does enjoy his
sleep! A woman may sleep in
cat-naps or lie awake half the

rel politicians on the ground.
The result would be that only
home owners with political pull
would be able to get any help
from the Government in retain
ing their homes.
When the Home Owners Loan
Corporation was organized, the
pork barrel politicians in Con-
gress defeated the efforts of the
President to provide for the
organization of this agency on a
merit basis.
In spite of this fact, however,
the President has finally assem-
bled a group of officials at
Washington who, by process of
selection, are slowly obtaining a
competent force.
The corporation began by
training its employees at Wash.
ington, and those who showed
the most qualifications were
then transferred to regional
offices for the purpose of organ
lzing and supervising the servic.
ing and collection of loans.
THOSE WITH "PULL"
One of the purposes of the
corporation in sending employees
that were not residents of the
region was to insure greater pro.
lection to the corporation and
the Government in the admins
tration of the law.
BY this method the corpora
ton has been developing an in
creasing freedom from the sin.
lister interference of greedy poll.
ticians and Sordid and some
times crooked local interests.
If the Senate should agree to
the House rider limiting the ap-
pointment or retention of State
or regional officials to those
who are residents of the State
or the region at the time of
their appointment the Home
Owners Loan Corporation will
quickly lose these 200 Of its
most competent officials.
Their places would be filled
by the appointees of 200 pork
barrel politicians selected solely
on the basies of their pull with
the pork barrel gang.
The Home Owners Loan Cor
poration is the largest lending
institution in the world. The
bill just passed by the House in
creases it's capital and loaning
power to $4,950, 100000.
Under the leadership Of Mr.
Fahey. the corporation is doine
everything in it's power to elimi
nate dishonest and inefficient
employees forced upon the cor
poration by the political greed
of the pork barrel gang in both
Houses of Congress and in the
several States.

If I could only
Get a little change,
Go some new place,
Do something different,
Or buy something pretty
Like those cute new hats
But, of course, I can't.
We can't get things
For ourselves, AL and I,
Not with meat going up
And the kids needing shoes
Every week
But I wouldn't mind
I could stand anything, God,
If 1 could only smile
Like usta-
If could laugh and sing
The way did
When AL and I first met,
Or, just once more,
Feel shiny inside
The way I felt
When I first heard
My little baby cry
If I could laugh again
Like that,
Instead of being grouchy-
I'm not grouchy inside;
Honest I'm not, God,
I love them all
You know how much
But I'm just so tired
So bone tired
The laugh won't come.
God-that's what
I want to ask YOU
Please help me laugh.
I can manage all the rest
I can get along
With being poor,
And having this backache,
And never getting a new hat
But I've gotta laugh, God
I've got to laugh
So AL and the kids
Won't look at me like that.
Please help me laugh,
So they'll know love them
Especially Al
Please, God, help me laugh!
That's all.

If you would give less

Have you noticed the comfort

If you have no joy in giving,
you are to be pitied. for in this

Giving necessarily entails

of law Mr.. Hoover would be un-
able to protect his effective
force of investigators from poll
tical interference and from the
Vaccinations of crooked law
yers and crooked politicians
who aid and abet the criminal
world in its warfare against the
public.
OBNOXIOUS
The House of Representatives
has recently passed bill to in
crease the Home Owners Loan
Corporation fund by $1,750,000,'
900 with a rider to this effect:
"NO person shall be appointed
or retained in any State or
regional office who was not at
the time of his appointment
resident of the State within the
REGION"
This limitation upon the ef-
forts of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation to protect the pub
lie funds at its disposal from
pork barrel politicians and po-
litical racketeers is just as ob-
noxious and indefensib1e as a
similar limitation would be on
the efforts of the Department
of Justice to deal with criminals.
If the Senate should agree to
this pork barrel rider it would
mean the dismissal throughout
the United States of some of the
best trained heads and key men
in the State and regional offices
of the Corporation.

How Is Your Headache?

Now that you suffering from headache as result OF

in figuring out how much you owed it.
This kindness particularly noticeable in the matter of
what money you had frozen in closed banks
If that money doesn't constitute bad debt lot Of
going to surprised It your money You put in the
bank. Now you can't get it.
But the wouldn't tell you that you could deduct
debt although that would have been the simple way
to Then you could have entered income in later
whatever you might get back
Instead officials stepped when questioned
about bank losses In roundabout way statements
anonymously estimating what the closed Washington banks
might pay and stated although not officially that you
could deduct that basis But made clear that
in the Government would take responsibility if you used the
figures that were thus made public.
Very consderate, these Government officials!
