MERIT SYSTEM BOWS TO POLITICAL
SPOILS
CBy BRUCE CATTON)


For a practical people, we Americans
exhibit a singularly slpshod manner OF
recruiting our public servants.
1t would seem to be Self-evident that the
more things government does, the more
essential it is that it hire the best people to
do them. But we manage to drift along,
hiring and firing on the good old system OF
political preference-and then we wonder
why our government services are expensive
and inefficient.
During the last few years the number OF
workers on the payroll of the federal gov
eminent has enormously increased. great
many of these workers have joined one or
the other of two organizatiOns-the Ma
tional Federation of Federal Employees,
and the American Federation of Govern
ment Employees Between them, these two
groups number some 10000 men, and they
are now demanding that the government
use the merit system in it's hiring and firing
Most of the vast growth in government
employees has taken place outside of the
civil service lists. What these employees
are asking is simply that Uncle Sam hire
the best fitted men for the job, when he
hires, and lay off the least fit when he fires.
A simple and logical request, that, GER
tainly; yet it is certain to produce stiff
fight in Washington. For we have let our
selves get saddled with a political system
which makes the government job the key
stone of party management; and as long as
that condition prevails. it is very unlikely
that any administration will go any further
with the merit system than it is compelled
to go.
All of this is so customary that it is taken
for granted. We assume, without being
told, that when an administration-any adj
miniStration, at Washington, at a state cap
ital or at a city hall-takes office it will
fire as many appointees of the former ad-
ministratiOn as it can and replace them
with its friends. That's the way the game
is played.
But how wasteful it is-how utterly con-
trasy to all accepted business practices
The taxpayer has to contribute enormous
sums to the support of his government The
very least he has right to expect is that
ne will get full value for his money; that
the people his money hires will be the best
people available, put there on merit and
retained as long as they do their work well.
Yet after decades of agitation for civil SER
vice reform, that principle is ignored over
and over again, in every governmental urit
in the land.
1t would be fine thing if the agitation
commenced by these groups of federal en-
ployees could awaken us to demand IN
end of the old spoils system. Government
today is doing more things than ever be-
fore in history. 1t cannot afford to put its
extended activities in the hands of party
hacks.

nECAY in the teeth is largely due
to wrong food. You can, of
course. repair damage by going to the
dentist and having the teeth put

had been right for the teeth from
birth on, you would probably have
been spared all this later pain and
expense. BY adopting the right food
at once you can do much to check
any further decay In the child's
mouth.
Fortunately the elements necessary
for the making Of good teeth are
among the everyday foods at all farms
and markets. First, and most i'm
portant Is milk-fresh, dried, evapo-
rated and buttermilk. Any and all of
these will furnish the calcium and
phosphorus that the teeth and bones
need. A good many vegetables and
fruits also contain these valuable COM
pounds, as do eggs, meat and fish
but no food has such q good balance
of them as milk has, and, naturally,
for the young child, milk is its most
important article Of diet.
But calcium and phosphorus are not
the whole story. They do furnish the
building material, but what good is
material without workers to put 1t
together? This. Is done by the vita
minis A, c. and D, all three Of which
may be found to a certain extent in
milk. Milk. as matter of fact, may
become a splendid source Of vitamin
D if especially treated to enrich 1t
with this vitamin. Many dairies are
now doing this, and thus the value
Of milk Is going higher and higher.
MILK contains only little vitamin
A'A c, so for that particular one we
must turn to the citrus fruits, toma-

of vitamin D, and milk holds enough
vitamin A for the child's needs.

BY EMILY POST.


DEAR MRS. POST: I am going
to have q late afternoon church
wedding in Midsummer. There will
be no engraved invitations and only
a maid of honor, two bridesmaids, Q
best man and two ushers. With all
this simplicity, may my attendants
carry their large picture hats, which
will be filled with lovely garden fiow-
ers, and 60 bareheaded?"
Answer - Baskets made Of big,
foppy hats which swing from rib
bons tied over their arms are always
lovely at Summer wedding, but in
q wedding procession bare heads al
ways look unfinished. Moreover, the
difference in color Of hair and style
of hair-dressing of even three differ
ent heads utterly spoils the unity Of
the picture, unless the arrangement
of each girls hair Is purposely made
to match, exactly. Usually, when
hats are carried, small fiat hair
ornament is chosen Of type that can
be supposed to belong under the hats.
For suggestions, 60 to the public IL
brary and look at the ribbons and
flowers worn under hats In pictures
by Greuse and Natter, OK in the por-
traits by Gainsborough, Romney, or
others. Or, If pictures are not avail
able and you don't know what I mean,
then merely choose very small fat
artificial flowers and arrange them in
tiny mats or coronets, or else ring
shaped wreaths worn on one side Of
the head. Or whatever is most be-
coming. Avoid anything Of any size
or raggedness of outline-as too sug-
gestive Of Ophelia in her mad scene.
Dear Mrs. Post: am ~ years old
and, as this Is much too old for me
to wear a bridal veil, may wear q
plain white dress with q slight train
and a very soft sheer white turban on
my head? OF perhaps, because the
wedding is in the evening, shall need
nothing on my head? And without
a veil may I carry an al-white bridal
bouquet?"
Answer-Twenty-seven too old to
wear q bridal veil? I never heard
such nonsense, my dear! II you were
81, then think it might be true that
a veil would exaggerate whatever
flaws q woman of maturer years must
expect to have. But this has moth
ing to do with a young woman Of
your age. If you persist In thinking
veil trying, then choose one that IS
slightly cream, and q dress of ivory,
instead Of pure white although 1t Is
not the color that seems to worry
you.., A veil, as q matter Of fact Is
much more hattering than o turban;
at least, ! think 20.
