recommending enactment Of the
Guyer bill.
The pleas came from Ford City,
Pa; Mahaska, Kan; Blue Rapids,
in the same State, and Cedaredge,
Col, as well as other communities.
Mr.. Guyer once said that group
of lawyers, most of whom he did
not know, caused him to introduce
his bill, and that its introduction
was largely a gesture.
Congress has a strange way Of
listening to certain petitions, how
ever, although, in most instances,
the petitioners are merely respond
ing to the appeal of certain groups
and have no actual knowledge of
the real results Of the legislation
they discuss.
Those members of Congress who
know what effect prohibition would
have in the District with Mary
land wet and those who saw the
effect it had under the old Shep-
pard law are consequently at
tempting to persuade their col
leagues to pay scant attention to
the petitions from persons who
have no interest in the actual al
fairs of the residents Of the Dis
trict.

The Human Side of the News = By

,moSt Of us. Peter Cooper Hewitt,
New York inventor, Of an ancient
and renowned family, devised
those strange mercury vapor lights
which make the bureau unique
among the Capital buildings.
The lights were as institutional
here as the gold standard, but
that has passed, with devaluation
of the dollar. and the lights are
on the way out, too. There's q
curious bit Of sideline metaphor
here. The lights were contrived to
remove all red from the spectrum,
which others. just now, are at
tempting to do for our intellectual
and political spectrum.
But the green lights, getting
back to the literal again, blotted
out the puppies and browns. to the
confusion Of the bond and money
designers. Hence the owners Of
the light patents are bringing for

known. For when she runs true
to form she is not merely q good
daughter to her mother-but q
good son.
In the old days, daughter was
regarded as a blue-ribbon winner
if she helped her mother with the
dishes, mended her own clothes,
concentrated on being a "lady"
and never gave her family cause
to blush.
And if she could cook and serve
an edible meal and trim over her
last years hats, she was pointed
to with pride as q household bless
ing, who would make some man a
wonderful wife,"
In these days. daughter may
or may not do any Of these
things, unless her tastes and her
talents run in that direction
Many a girl does not know the
difference between a Skewer and
knitting needle until after she's
married, and the average cook

in a foreign language. But she
can change tire, discuss the

life will never come back again.
And you don't want it to come
back. You don't want to live
with your darling gone. But it
does come back. Without your
knowing it, without your willing
it, against all your desire, life
comes back.
Creeping slowly, rising softly, in
a tide, life comes back. You have
an appetite again. You can sleep.
You feel a stirring of interest in
a new hat, or the latest football
score. You haven't forgotten love
your grief is just as great. But

Life is needing you, clamoring for

tired and washed out, the first
thing you know, daughter has
hired a maid to help her and
bought a washing machine and
a vacuum cleaner. Or she has
sent mother on Q little vacation
trip, and is having the living
room furniture done over.
Sometimes, the cheerful, eff
cient girl you see working IN
business office is putting her
younger brother through college
and helping Dad pay off the mort
gage, and sometimes she is merely
paying her board at home and
buying little car. But, whatever
she may or may not be doing to
help out the eXchequer, she IS an
asset, not a liability.
The modern girls domestic tai

been soft-pedalled. But there are
lust as many swell cooks among
business girls as there were among
the ''sweet old-faShioAed clinging
vines" And many a girl goes
home after a hard day at the
office and tosSes up a delectable
dinner containing all the vitamins
and calories.
It all depends on her domestic
tastes and qualifications. There

get it just as quickly as perfect
organization and techniques can
get it to him.
This bonus job, while stepping
up the bureau to the highest
pitch, does not match, as a print
ing emergency, the last hurry
call for new currency, but this
promises, on the whole, to be
the fastest run in the history OF
the bureau. In the 1888 emer-
gency the banks were given more
than q billion in new money in
two days-in which both design
ing and printing had been done.
That was q record.
lvin w. Hall, quiet, easy-going,
distinguish looking director OF
the bureau, makes it clear that
his organization always is ready
for what may be demanded. For
this reason there is no special
preparation for an anticipated or
der, like that Of the bonus bonds,
but rather reserve Of skill and
materials which will meet any
possible demand.
First, in this great printing press
mobilization, there was an official
conference, mapping the work with
q view to a smooth coordination
which would assure a steady flow
without punching or hitching. MI
nutest details Of the undertaking
were taken into account.
That meant that the bureau
must be able to draw quickly from
a pool Of skilled and unskilled Ia
Dor. This 1t could readily do, and
this labor reserve is distinctly a
part Of the bureaus policy of pre-
paredness.
NIGHT SHIFTS
About 800 new employees were re-
quired for the bonus run, serving
chiefly in what are known as the
"clericaImechanical" departments.
They must all be drawn from the
civil service. The bond issue re-
quires 125 tons Of white paper,
which was on hand the day the
sustained bonus overrode the
Presidents veto. The designing
and engraving Of 125 separate steel
plates was. necessary.
No artists, in fact, no new artis-
tic designs, are employed for the
bonds. Rather there is an assem-
blage Of old designs, pieclng out
Of borders, centers and the like.
The bureau has q vast "morgue''

is broken. And you believe that.
You believe it because you want
to believe it. UnconSciously, grief
has become q convenience!
It has become an escape from
people and things you do not
want to face. It has become an
alibi for selfishnesS and laZineSS
and cowardice.
If you did not have that grief,
if you laid it aside bravely, you
would have to mingle with the
world-you would have to face
competition and criticism. But
grieving, you can lock yourself
away, you can hide in your Sor-
row. And no one will dare con.
denim you for doing so.
Poor Sally" they'll say. she's
never been the same since Billy
died. It's wonderful, and tragic,
to love like that"
A MISTAKE
And, hearing them, you'll not
only feel excused-but you'll feel
that you are set apart by your
great disaster-that you're not
like other people-that you should
be pitied and honored because
you cannot, will not, come back
into life.
But of course the truth is-you
deserve neither pity nor honor.
Chronic grief isn't beautiful-it's
cowardly and contemplate. We've
no more right to use grief as an
eScars than we have to use alcohol
or morphine or gambling.
Broken hearts are not a rare,
personal calamity. They are part
of the common lot and should be
borne as such. Broken hearted
people should be more useful than
other citizens, rather than less so

easy on the eyes but allow perfect
color vision.
The bureau, In addition to max
ing money, makes the nations
postage stamps. Each year it
throws away IS tons Of gummed
paper waste from stamp perforaS
tions. Various uses have been
sought for this detritus. A manu-
facturer tried to make bricketteS
of it, but was not successful. A
mischievous employe heaved few
handfuls at a June bride. 1t was
a marriage which stuck. They
spent their honeymoon digging the
bits Of gummed paper out Of their
clothes.
More than $4,000 pounds Of ink
is used each year on postage
stamps, along with 1l3.5o0 gal
Ions Of gum. There's reinsurance
for persons who find it diStaste-
full to moisten a stamp with the
tongue. The gum is made from
the caSsara root. from which
tapioca is made, so one, moisten-
ing a stamp, may imagine easily
that he is getting a dash OF
tapioca pudding-untaxed.
MANY SPECIALISTS
The money they make there
will move out into the currency
stream and buy machine-made
products, but a vast amount Of
this particular kind Of money
making is hand labor-for which
nothing but the facile fingers Of
artists and engraverS OF long
training will serve. Here the bu-
reau personnel has vast reserve
of skilled and seasoned artistry
in men and women of long serv-
ice and ninutly specialized abil-
tiles.

What was old ri Shang, the
Chinese sage, thinking about
when he printed the first revenue
stamps in 1041? He invented the
art of printing from a moving,
raised type, using porcelain discs
set in wax. We got not only print
ing but paper from China. We
have amplified old Pts shrewd
artifice a million fold, with our
presses and engraving processes
but the vagaries Of money and its
uses remain as they were in his
day.
Soy Lung, another sage OF Pts
day, or perhaps a little later
urged that printed money must
be supported by an underlying
symbol of unchanging value, such
as gold, and there was great argu

ner he could adopt, Secretary OF
Navy Claude A. Swanson made
every effort to cover UP the walk
out order given by Assistant Secre'
tary of Navy Henry L. Roosevelt
to the Marine Band to leave the
Women's Patriotic Conference.
Privately, the Secretary is about
as mad over the incident as any
man could be.
He does not think the Roosevelt
order was opportune or wise but
publicly he has Steadfastly at
tempted to minimize the entire
affair and take the burden from
the shoulders Of the Presidents
cousin.
When the affair became public,
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt was
absent from the next press con-
ference, although he usually is IN
attendance. Secretary Swanson,
asked about his absence, refused
to answer.
Asked about the order, the Secre-
tary said he did not know the
author and endeavored to bring
the matter to q close.
In Navy circles, however, 1t is
known that Swanson is peeved at
his Assistant Secretary. as are the
vast majority Of Navy officers. The
officers are unable to question
their superior.
Swanson does not believe it
would be wise to take the Presi-
dents cousin to task.

AT this juncture, James Har-

of bed and asked Echols to vacate
the premises, then returned to his
room and closed the door. Echols
then drew his revolver, witnesses
say, and firing through the door,
shot Harris in the abdomen, the
right arm and left leg. Echols
then rushed to the bedroom of Mrs.
Fields, pulled open the door of the
closet in which she was hiding, and
shot her in the stomach. After
she had fallen to the floor, he fir
ed four other bullets into her body.
Again, Echols ran to the room
of Harris and his wife, wit

Mrs. Harris jumped out of a back
window, in her night clothes and
escaped. Failing to find her in
