Jean Harlow, the screens famous

fine laugh today over the Juror

But as far as admitting any

PRESIDENT
ON JOBS
Assertion in Speech to
Party Youth Hit As
"HypocriticaI"
International News Service

The Republican National COM
mittee today challenged President
Roosevelt's assertion in his recent
radio speech to the Young Demo
Gratis that mere party membership
and loyalty is not the sole requi.
site for Federal appointment.
The committee said:
mo statement of any public
official has been so hypocritical
and so utterly at variance with
known facts.
"NO Administration has zone
to the length the Roosevelt ad.
ministratiOn has gone to de.
bauch the public service by fill.
ing every possible office. with
individuals who have no other
recommendation than the en-.
dorSement Of Democratic politi-
cianS."
The committee charged "the
standard of public service in all
Federal activities is today at the
lowest level it has ever BEEN"
Meanwhile, the Civil Service
Commission reported there are
now 104,498 persons on the Gov.
eminent pay roll in Washington,
an increase of 1,045 between
June 80 and July 81. The com.
mission did not include the legis-
lative, judicial, military branches
or District of Columbia employees
in it's figures.
The number of persons in the
Federal pay roll outside of Wash
ington was 625,271. an increase
of 1902 since June 30, with the
Rural Resettlement Administra-
ton having 1906 in the field
and 1.643 more assigned here.
Even the MIRA, scrapped by the
Court in May, had 40
more workers July 81 than it
had June 30, because of the ex-
banded new public-works program.

could say. I'm through at the bank, Ella. but
I've got better job" Well. ''another job"
anyway. She couldn't feel very bad about
that. II haven't seen Ella cry since the boy
died." MIR. Craddock reflected. That was
thirty-two years ago. What's the sense of
making her cry now, if don't have to-"
Meanwhile, he wOud have "a look at New
York." Mr. Craddock invested twenty-five
cents in guide book There was no lack of
places worth visiting - Grants Tomb, and
the Stock Exchange. and the Empire State
Building, and the corner where the first shot
was fired in the Revolutionary War. During
the next fortnight. Mr.. Craddock saw all of
them Dirnnally, he left his fiat at twenty
minutes past eight. Mrs. Craddock cooked
breakfast, and escorted him down the hall,
and said, Try to take it little bit easy
today, Tony You're not looking so well''
Diurnaly, her husband replied. ''Oh. I'm
okay," or Don't fuss over me, Ella" Diurn-
ally, he returned just after five, with carefully
devised stories of what had happened in the
discharge of his mythical duties Mrs. Howe
was in this afternoon, darling. She's getting
Gankier than ever Left her key home and
was very much annoyed because ! couldn't
open her box"
Mr.. Craddock wasn't an expert liar. He'd
had little experience, and had to keep his
mind on it. Moreover, he felt ctriOusly
ashamed. He'd never deceived Ella before
about anything. Of course, this was for her
own good, but still - And seeing New York
became rather tiresome. Mr. Craddock Vds
"a comparatively young man" Sixty years;
what was that, when you'd lived regularly.
and we're lean, and trim and fit? None of the

luck. and enjoy yomselfr'
Anthony Craddock walked down the stairs
to his subterranean reception room. There
. was an elevator, but he needed a moment to
pull himself together. That silly moisture kept
coming, and coming. AS it was, the assistant
who unlocked the barred door to the vaults
said. What's the matter, Mr.. Craddock?
No bad news. hope"
NO." MIR. Craddock replied. Il got bit
of dust in my eyes,"
He'd have to tell the man some time. To-
morrow, maybe. He didn't feel up to it now.
His whole mind was engaged with similar
but more important question: How to tell
Mrs. Craddock? That's going to be tough"
he thought. II don't just know how to do it.
Of course, if she was well, but with her heart
missing beats, and everything, it might -
well, it might give her one of those spells
She's not so young, either. Gee, we've been
married almost ever since came here"
Mr.. Craddock said goodbye to 1.-The boys"
the following Saturday. "I'll break the news
to Ella tomorrow" he planned. But Mrs.
Craddock began Sunday by observing, when
you 60 to the bank in the morning, Tony, I'm
going to give you your lunch. I've bought a
neat little box for it. ! don't think you ought
to eat the stuff that you get at the cafeteria"
And MIR. Craddock said, That's nice of
you, Ella"
Ella was i'll in the night. Nothing serious,
really, but MIR. Craddock decided he'd better
wait while. After all, it involved nothing
worse than getting up at the usual hour, and
taking that lunch box, and kissing Ella at the
door as he'd kissed her every morning, at
almost exactly that moment. He didn't quite
know where to CO. but there must be some
place. Mr.. Lufkin had suggested that he
begin by taking look at New York" Why
not? He'd always wanted to see the aquarium.
That was better than sitting home all day.
And if he was going out, and it would make
Ella any happier to think he was bound for
the bank. why shouldn't she think so?
Why shouldn't she continue thinking so

"HIs is love story!
Anthony CIaddock sat in the
office of a vice president of the
IL Exchange National Bank.
1t was Anthony's sixtieth birthday. He had
been with the Exchange National forty five
years, and, when the viCe-president had sent
for him this morning, Anthony had felt very
sure the summons had to do with something
commemorative. And now he sat at great
desk in great room with stained glass win
dows, and the great man was saying, Were
sorry, of course, MIR. Craddock. We dislike
parting with our old employees. In your case
we shouldn't think of it, except that, as you
must realize, your department is being oper-
ated at a considerable loss. People can't afford

Mr.. Craddock dried the palm of one hand
with the thumb of the other.

He made no move to go, and the silence
became awkward.
LAS matter of fact" the vice president
resumed. LAS matter of fact, MIR. Craddock,
you're lucky. envy you. Sixty today, you
said. You're comparatively young man yet
with an income - not large income, ad-
nit, but an income for life, without labor"
YES" Mr.. Craddock explained; that's
what worries me. For forty-fve years, I've
come down here every morning. I've stayed
all day - working. What am going to do
now?" The moisture was coming into his
eyes. 1--WE no friends outside this building.
Never had time to make any. really never
went anywhere. except from the fiat to the
bank. and back again. It's going to seem
strange, Mr.. Lufkin."

not looking so well. Tony. I'm worried"
He called at the bank periodically for his
pension check. Ella never opened his mail, of
course, but the same envelope. coming on the
same day every MONTH might lead to ques-
tions. MIR. Craddock didn't feel that he could
add to the burden on his conscience. Nor,
indeed, that he could carry on very much
longer. Only - Ella didn't look so well,
either. She seemed exceedingly dragged, in
fact. This was no good time for confession.
He'd tell her some day - some day soon -
but not just yet. Mr. Craddock's heart ached
almost as sorely as his feet: he didn't want to
pass that heartache on to Ella.
But nine hours of walking daily! And the
weather was getting cold MIR. Craddock hit
upon the Public Library. You could 60 there
as early as you liked, and stay as late. Mr..
Craddock re-discovered literature. Life
Begins at Forty" He'd heard about that,
but it proved unconvincing. The Decline
and Fall of the Roman Empire" That was
thick book, anyway - six volumes, in fact -
and you needed thick books when you read
every day from nine until five.
And then the expected happened. The ex-
pected and long dreaded. MIR. Craddock had
always felt that he might meet Mrs. Craddock
somewhere - during Office hours. Somewhere,
but not in the Public Library Ella wasn't
literary. Secretary to patent attorney. Ella
had been when he met her, and inclined to
regard reading as labor rather than diver
sion. Yet, here she sat, at a desk in the main
room, book open before her, and pad and
pencil lying beside it. With quick motion.
she swept both into her bag, and turned to
MIR. Craddock. Attack is the best defence.
"Ellar Mr.. Craddock exclaimed. what

what supererogatorily. What are y0u doing
