Speed the Leave Bills

The RamSpeck bills providing Tor revision OF the laws
governing vacation and sick leave Of Government employees
have referred subcommittee Of the House Civil
Service Committee for the purpose Of making minor amend
ments
This plainly indicates that the committee whole ap
proves purpose of the bills and that after the amendments
are prepared the full committee will order favorable report
on the Consequently be expected that the
bills will be given to the House within short time.
The important thing for friends Of the bills to do is
to devise Of getting them considered by House
which will in the last furious legislative drive prior
to adjournment.
Leaders of the House shouldn't hesitate to aot time for
the consideration of these Not much time will be
necessary for inconceivae that they will require any
extended debate
The hearings held by the Civil Service Committee failed
to produce any depeaed objections to the proposals. There
is for believing that any substantial objection will
be raised when the bills before the House.
There is talk that few members Of the House
heant about giving the bills their approval because Of fear
adverse reaction among the folks back home who might
think that thirty days leave too much to give Government
workers.
That fear needn't deter any member unless he feels that
he is lazy explain the peculiar circumstances which
make thirty days leave for Government workers compare
with fifteen days in private employment All he has to do
to explain any such objection to point out that in the
Government service employe is docked time whenever
funeral to get check cashed for any other purpose
Under this system most employees find that with thirty
days given them for annual leave they have left about two
weeks when it comes time to take vacation.
The Ramspeck bills provide only reasonable leave privileges
and they should be enacted at this session.

If you are going abroad this
year there is one pilgrimage
that you must make, not only
for it's Importance, but for its
sweet and simple beauty.
We mean the visit to Shake

Stratford, Kenilworth and War
wick along the same roads, past
the same cottages as did the
dramatiSt when he lived.
Both the casual tourist and
the reverent pilgrim to the
shrine of Shakespeare will find
charm in this excursion, which
takes one through the soft En-
glish country side with its
hedges pink with roses and into
glowing villages that seem like
something from an artists
palette.
This traveller commenced his
journey at bennington Spa, a
modern resort that stands on
the site of a Saxon village. It
must have been visited often by
the dramatiSt in his rambles
through the countryside.

loving woman decided to make

Yet, if you will read over the
letters to any "lovelorn" column
you will be most forcibly struck
by Woman's adamantine deter
mination to remodel her man
even before she has got him to
sign on the dotted line, and,
often before he has even men
toned marriage.
Almost the moment a man
starts showing any. special in
terest in a girl, she begins her
subtle little reform school
methods, starts making mental
suggestions and begins look"
ing for miracles to happen. It's
a positive COMPLEX with her!
Of course, there are plenty
of men who have the same sort
of complex and who try to make
over or remodel their women.
And nothing seems to fascinate
a man more than the idea of
marrying a wild, independent
gal and then tanning her down
and breaking her to domestic

Yet, at least, a man sometimes
has a CHANCE to win. Be
cause a woman in love is a soft

woman ever succeeded in chang
ing a man in anything even as
trivial as his taste in cravats or
his dislike for spinach!
A man may not always be
constant to his women or to

constant to his habits, and par
ticularly to his faults. And,
while marriage may be many
things, it is NOT a reformatory.

Kenilworth cuts through pas
toral countryside starred with
wild flowers which the poet de-
scribes so often in his plays. The
castle at Kenilworth is all that
a castle should be, although the
great artificial lake, which was
the castles main defense through
the Middle Ages, is long since
dry.
Aside from Shakespeare, Ken,
ilworth Castle has other lit
erary associations. Sir Walter
Scott staged his novel "Kenll-
worth" in the castle, investing
it's walls with the romantic
glamor of Amy Robsart, the
Earl Of Leicester and other
characters in the historical
novel.
Along the road from Kenil-
worth to Warwick we pass

When riding (and sometimes when
not riding) a Cavalier wore high boots,
fitted with spurs. At other times, he
wore low. Square-toed shoes and tight
silk stockings. His shoes might be
adorned with bows, or with roses made
of ribbon. His breeches were not
padded Clike those of gentlemen in
the time Of Elizabeth). but they were
colorful; and so was the rest Of the
costume.
The Puritans did not like the ways
or dress Of the leaders Of fashion. In
stead of bright, colorful costumes, they
had dark-colored garments-eXcept
for wide white collars. Over their
shoulders they were capes. No jaunty
plume was set in the hat of Puritan!
Puritan men cut their hair short,
and this led a Cavalier to ask, What
creature is this with his short hair
and huge long ears?"
Puritan ears were no longer than
those Of other men: but they could be
seen, for they were not covered by
long curls. The nickname Round
head" arose because of the Puritan
custom OF cutting the hair.
When King Charles and the Cav
alters were in power, thousands of
Puritans left England to settle in the
New World-in the part of the United
States now known as New England.
After the Roundheads gained control
Of England, a large number Of Cav
alters crossed the Atlantic and settled
in Virginia.

Bedtime Stories
A Fight for a Lady.

Chuck, who had already fallen In love
with her, was equally ready to fight.
AS for Miss Chuck, she was coy. While
in her heart she probably hoped the
handsome young Chuck would win,
she gave glanceS of encouragement to
both.
The fight that followed was a fight.
Yes. sir, it was a fight. The young
Chuck had the advantage Of youth.
Short-tail had the advantage of expe-
rience. Locked together, they rolled
over and over on the ground, biting,
kicking, each conscious that he was
fighting for a lady and in the pres
ence of the lady. Now one had the
advantage; now the other had il. They
were evenly matched and there seemed
no choice between them.
But there was a choice-the choice
Of youth. Youth has the ability to
hold out longer than age. At times 1t
is worth more than experience. It
proved so this time. For q while. quite
a while, it was nip and tuck. 1t was
either's fight. Short-tail used every
trick he ever had learned, and for a
while 1t looked as If he would win
the fight. Then he began to tire. He
tired faster than his younger opponent
and gradually the latter began to push
him back.
Meanwhile Miss Chuck looked on
with mingled feelings. 1t was the first
time she ever had been fought for. 1t
was thrilling. It was very thrilling
First she thought she wanted one to
win. Then she thought she wanted
the other to win. But when at last
the handsome young Chuck began to
drive Short-tail back, she knew beyond
all doubt that this was what she de-
sired, and she would be ready to 60
with the victor.
Despite the fact that her young
champion was covered with dirt, his
coat torn, his face scratched and
bleeding, he was in her eyes hand
somer than ever. Had he been losing
instead of winning, she probably would
have seen the dirt and the torn coat
and the scratches and no beauty
whatever. That is the way 1t is in
life. All the world loves a winner.
Suddenly, and without warning,
Short quit. He knew that he was
beaten and that nothing was to be
gained by further fighting. So when
he had the chance. he suddenly turned
and made off. The other followed a
few steps and then sat up and whistled
triumphantly. Then he turned to Miss
Chuck, but she was looking the other
way.

in his bones He moved up little
nearer to where three other ChuckS
formed a triangle. Polly Chuck moved
up with him. They knew nothing
about triangles, but they did know
that one of those Chucks was a Lady
Chuck. In fact, she was their own
daughter. The two others were ad-
mirers, one big, strong and young; the
other big, strong and veteran OF
many fights. He was called Short-tail
because he had lost part Of his tail.
Short-tail had appeared unexpect-
edly. The two young Chucks had been
so much engrossed with each other
that they had not seen him until he
was close to them. Then Miss Chuck
had seen him and had hastily with
drawn a little, leaving her young ad-
mirer to face the other.
The two Chucks glared at each other,
showing their teeth. Short-tail had
seen at glance that Miss Chuck was
good to look upon and at once decided
that she was much to be desired and
he would fight for her. The young
