Clever Opossum Prefers
to Live in Warm Chimes

The expression, playing 'possum,'
originally came from a peculiar habit
of the opossum himself. He, you see,
is master of the game of pretending.
notes writer in the Boston Herald.
Normally, he seeks escape from enc
mics by running to the woods and
climbing tree. If he is absolutely un-
able to get away, though, he will feign
death and keep up the deception un-
der the most trying circumstances.
Kicking or beating him doesn't do the
slightest bit Of good, for through it
all he persists in pretending to be dead.
However, If one Is really interested In
knowing the true state Of affairs. he
may be thrown into the water There,
the apparently dead opossum will come
to his senses more quickly than one
can blink his startled eyes.
No creature is more American than
the opossum, for he does not exist
outside of America. Although he pre-

THREE STEPS
| TO RELIEVING

ANY mother knows the reason
Awhen her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constip patton.
But what pity so few know the
sensible way to set things right
The ordinary laxatives. of even
ordinary strength, must be carefully
regulated as to dosage. :
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child and Nth any adult.
The doctors use liquid laxatives.
Hospitals use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative most
families use is DR.. Caldwelps Syrup
Pepsin. Any druggist has it.

Washington.-One of the New Deal
policies about which there is an ever
increasing complaint
Ignore Is it's wanton destruc-
Civil Serpice ton of the civil serv-
ice. 1t used to be
said, under Democratic and Republican
administrations alike, that it was next
to. Impossible to get government job
except through examinations conduct
ed by the Civil Service commission.
That Is, there were few appointments
available other than under civil serv-
ice below the rank Of Presidential
selection. Now, the scene has changed
to such an extent that there is little
chance to get in the government
through civil service and the bulk Of
the appointments therefore are of a
purely politically-indorsed character.
do not mean to say that the Civil
Service commission has shut up shop,
although it has been virtually de-
horned, but I do emphasize that as
of September 30-the latest pay roll
figures for the government-the num-
slightly more than half of the total
on the government pay roll exclusive
of the army, navy and Marine corps
and Civilian Conservation corps.
The Civil Service commission con-
tinues to issue its monthly statements
on the government personnel but they
are becoming increasingly less reliable
because one Of the most difficult things
to get in Washington these days is the
accurate figure on the number of
workers employed by Uncle Sam. The
commission records are complete as
far as they go but they fail to go far
enough. At this time, for example, the
Civil Service commission reports that
the government pay roll covers 794,-
467 employees. That figure, however,
does not include the vast army of en-
ployees of the Agricultural Adjust
ment administration who are scattered
in every county in the nation. have
heard estimates that the number of
these county chairmen, inspectors, in
vestigators, ETC., exceeds 10000 but
whether that is too large or too small
l cannot be sure for the reason that
there is no way by which the number
can be checked. Similarly, it is next
to impossible to ascertain the number
of workers in some of the newer agen-
cies, created under the guise of emer-
gency conditions, because they too are
scattered far and wide but the fact
remains that the personnel of the gov
eminent has been expanded more rap
idly than ever in history and to the
| highest recorded peak even for war
| time.

Personnel
Increases

In three months. That is, there has
been that much of an increase for
which the commission has records, but
commission has no way Of compelling
some of the alphabetical agencies to
supply it regularly with the number Of
employees on their pay rolls.
The number of federal employees
aside from the military services when
imately 5S5,00O. The number of en-
ployees on the federal pay roll when
Mr.. Coolidge retired and Mr.. Hoover
became President was roughly $4,000.
From these the enormous growth of
the government bureaucracy is at least
limited If not demonstrated fully.
Then, there are more yet to come.
Several new agencies were created
under acts of the last congress and
others have since been created by
executive order of the President. Take
the Rural Rehabilitation administra-
Tugwell, who used to be brain truster
No. !, has fund of $250,000,000 with
which to play and obviously Mr.. Tug
we'll will need great staff to assist
him. The National Youth administra-
ton Is another new one. 1t will not
have as much money as Mr.. Tugwell
but it is starting it's operation with
$4,000, 00O-and that is quite chunk
Of money to most of us. The National
Labor board is hardly organized yet
and the Social Security board has
just begun to arrange setup. Like
wise the board to administer the Cuff
fey coal lava little MIRA for the soft
coal industry-has been appointed and
is operating with only a few clerks.
1t cannot get along without stable
corps of inspectors and examiners and
investigators. 1t will have to have an
extensive research staff in order that it
can be supplied at all times with what
ever facts and figures it needs or
wants. So it goes on through the list
almost amending.
One newspaper columnist had the
audacity to say in his column the
other day that if Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins really wants to solve
the unemployment problem he ought to
turn his attention to the government
itself. At the rate of expansion, the
government probably could be made to
absorb the 100000 unemployed to
whom Mr.. Hopkins was preparing to
give work by December l.
December is hereabouts. But Mr..
Hopkins has not succeeded in his much
publicized plan to

Veterans Called Goat
OF the New Deal

To the Editor Of The Times:
I have been reading letters to
you on the housing situation and
agree that the veterans are being
made the political goat.
1t seems sort of queer to me
that all sorts of bills appropriate
ing money or so-called relief can
be passed, but there is never
any left for the veteran. After
all has been spent, articles ap-
pear in the papers that so per
cent of the money was "unwar-
ranted and undeserving."
Why not give the bonus to
veterans who have already proved
they are deserving of it and need
no investigating? Why not pay a
just, past due debt instead Of in
curing new ones? The answer
is too much politics and not
enough square deal. E. A. M.

Reader Protests Boost
In His Rent

To the Editor of This Times:
have been a constant reader
of The Times for IL years and
I must admit that, in my opin-
ion, your paper is Washington's
best public servant.
Speaking of high rents, here
IS one:
I have been renting from a
private owner since last August,
paying SITS per month for the
house. This month a real estate
man came and ted me he had
bought the house and wanted
$85 per month. Otherwise,
could move. On the sixth of this
month, he handed me a 30-day
moving notice which expires on
May S. On April IL his lawyer
sent me letter saying that I'm.
less I paid the $85 he would sue
me. He also demanded that I
move by May 5.
I have been paying my rent
regularly every month for IL
years and just because I refuse
to pay him $85 per month he is
going to throw me out.
What can I do about it?
