Holidays With Pay in Estonia.-
A recent act in Estonia provides holi-
days with pay for employees under con-
tract in industrial undertakings en-
ploying five or more workers. The
holiday is fixed at seven consecutive
days, and shall De granted after one
years employment in the same estab-
lishment. During the holiday, the

Charts and rows of figures seem
to indicate that business is getting
better, and that next year will see a
rather sizeable growth of improve
ment.
1t IS all very puzzling.
/ Automobiles are booming along.
steel is doing very well, and textiles
are better than textile management
! justiies.
Forecasts Of those who are pro-
fessional forecasters are for gains
running through the next two or three
years, on to 1910, which, in terms of
weekly pay envelopes, is a long stretch
ahead
The figures seem to be all right.
They have been put together with
great care and as the result of much
study.
It is to be hoped they are not full
of blew holes.
Very few who read these words are
likely to be readers of Fortune. the
big magazine that sells for dollar
a copy
But Fortune, this month, prints
pictures that show the distribution
OF wealth and of poverty.
This magazine, which carries in col.
ors the advertising of the fabulousIy
profitable non-union cigarette indus
try, shows that poverty is almost the
rule in American life. To be "Weal-
thy" is to be the rare exception.
Wealth is concentrated in a very few
hands.
The reviying state Of business looks
very much like the old racket of TAX
! ing few handfuls of people out of
the abject poverty line and lifting
them temporarily just a trife above
that line, whore they will hover in
uncertainty until with another smash
they go down again.
That isn't what we had visions of
when Franklin D. Roosevelt thrilled
so many Americans with his pledge
of a New Deal.
The issue between recovery and re-
form lies, for the time being, with
reform.
Meanwhile the greatest battle to
break the strength of organized labor
is getting under way.
| The greatest battle ever staged,
IN all probability.
And great many unions find it i'm
possible to believe that such thing
can be, in view of Section IA and
the rest of the Roosevelt legislative
grist.
! But IA hasn't much longer to live
and there is no assurance that the
Wagner industrial disputes bill will
be enacted into law Surely it will
not be unless there is an overwhelm-
| ing clamor for its enactment.
And just at this moment there isn't
any assurance that there will be any
law to supplant MIRA when it dies
by statutory limitation in just few
weeks.
There has been notable and sad

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 10
For seven years, Buddy, large
Belgian police dog, was the con
slant companion of Mrs. Dora
Erwin, So. Then, for no apparent
reason, the dog turned on his mis-

was taken to a hospital.
The strange attack occurred
while an electrical storm was at
it's height. The dog chased Mrs
Erwin into the yard and bit her
on the legs and arms. while neigh

HUNDREDS JAM
AUCTION SALE
BYPOSTOFF|CE

Several hundred men, women
and children gathered early today
in room on the third floor OF
the City Post Office Building,
Massachusetts, Avenue and North
Capitol Street, for the depart.
ment's annual sale of unclaimed
goods.
BY 9 a. m. every chair and all
available space in the rear of the
room and along the side walls was
filled with prospective buyers.
Back of the auctioneer were
crates of books, stacks OF under,
garments, socks, ties, handker'
chiefs and dresses. More dresses
hung from racks while guitars,
radios, and fire axes We'd with
each other for attention.
Jewelry Displayed
In a half filled wooden box
sport jewelry, including necklaces,
bracelets, strands of pearls
brooches and earrings looked like
Alladin's treasures.
Everybody had catalogues which
they marked methodically as each
lot was sold. Everybody was there
to buy and although the highest
bid was $5.75, the bidding wai
spirited.
Two young girls with healthy
smiling faces bid on small lots OF
women'S pink and blue silk under
wear. They appraised each others
purchases with eager fingers.
Asked what they intended doing
with nightgowns and slips of vari'
GUS sizes they said they were
visitors from GAINESVILLE, Wis. and
the underwear was for gifts to
friends and neighbors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Olson, also
from GAINESVILLE, displayed dozen
mems silk ties of terrifying hues
and a pair of ice skates. The
skates are to be held over until
Christmas, Mr.. Olson said.
Clerks Autions Goods
The auctioneers worked in re-
lays. c. G. Zepp, a clerk in the
official section who handled the
first sales with professional skill,
caused a laugh when he called to
a woman buyer:
Don't wave your hand like
that or I'll think it's for met"
At times he politely removed
his hat and thanked a buyer.
When pressed he modestly ad.
mitted he had formerly been an
auctioneer.
A certain Washington merchant
is going to be very much upset il
he bids on a lot he selected yes.
terday, according to one of the
guards. This gentleman, the
guard said, selected a basket half
full of children's clothes. Then
he put everything else he wanted
in that same basket. When he
had gone the guard put them
back in their catalogued order.
With a grin he added:
Hell be yelling Crooks
when he gets that basket
home-wait and see!"
The auction is expected to take
all day. When the reporter left
the auctioneer was dangling a
half dozen pink corsets in one
hand and pleading:
what am I bid, fOlks?"

Theme of Souvenir" by Franz Drdlo
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-06-19

A refined version of the usual
Maggie and Jiggs quarrel might
well serve as the pictorial back.
ground in describing the develop
acnt of the theme of Souvenir"
by Drdla. AS the piece is used
almost entirely as a violin and
piano duet, the violin may repre-
sent the feminine voice and the
piano the male voice. The piano
part is so essentially a part of
the work that it does not merely
serve as an accompaniment for
a violin solo. With a quiet intro
duction by the piano we see the
husband preparing to go out for
the evening; the wife hears and
soon asks in a rising voice Where
are you going tonight? AS she
asks the question over with polite
patience, he mumbles in under
tones; but noticing that she also
has her wraps on, he takes up her
question in imitation. So far the
argument has been restrained and
refined.
The woman, in a change of
key, with the violin playing double
stops, displays more energy and
firmness which is more than mere
sentimentality. Her voice becomes
louder; next she tries emotional
entreaty in a high voice; but see
ing that her appeal is not effec-
tive, she Gains herself and resorts
to the original theme appeal.
The man and the woman join
together in this theme; the sun
shines; they agree to arbitrate; he
agrees to escort her for the eve
ming; their sympathetic, peaceful
voices show a better understand
ing following their differences.
Three final ascents in double stops
on the violin echo as a reminder
of the affair; the first is joyful;
the second in the minor is sad;
and the third is prayerful remain
ing to the end on a high, heavenly
plane.
The "Mikado" and the Army

A new and more powerful ampli-

season which will enable the

with ease. For those not wishing
to sit on the grass, chairs will be
provided for a small fee
Several years ago. by popular re-
quest, sections of chairs were
placed directly in front of the
stage; this year the number of
chairs has been increased. Most
of the seats will sell for Is cents,
while a limited number of the re-
served section will be sold for
so cents. The entrance to the lat

near the stage, on either side.
These seats are on sale at the

Ky o'Neal was a tavern keepers s

Jackson was furious. Mrs. Calhoun

Peggy. But they wouldn't and their
husbands couldn't make them.
Calhoun wanted TO be President.
But his wife continued to snub Peg
