carries appropriations for the Civil

Representative Woodrum Of Virginia
chairman of the subcommittee which
drafted the bill, said the committee
was impressed by the large number of
persons taking examinations.
Within its power, the commission has
taken such measures as seem prac-
ticable toward reducing this number.
Its efforts are often criticized, how
ever, Woodrum said. For example
when an examination for railway postal
clerks limited to eight days the period
in which persons could apply. Even
in the short time allowed there were
more than 200,0 1000 applicants, while the
number of vacancies to be filled is only

Day dreaming in a moment of
respite from the wrangling and

the roofs and factories of Phila-

In shining robes and garments
fair,
The people walk upon their
way.

their chores far more seriously

Dad was a kid. They believed in
the thing they were doing. That
thing might not, to the byStander,
seem very interesting affair. It
might be sweeping the leaves off
Widow Browns lawn or deliv-
ering packages on Saturday morn
ingS for the butcher or baker. But
whatever it was, you gave it all
you had.
Maybe it wasn't the worlds
greatest job, but it was your job.
And there was more to that job
than people thought. glamour,
mystery, amending challenge. 1t
was, to you, as great an adven-
ture as discovering the North
Pole might be to another man.
Humble as you might be, you
got a kick out of that job. "a
kick that filled life with the fire
of pride and enthusiasm.
A TRUST
Moreover, that job was a trust.
1t was the thing you were trusted
to do. Within it's limited prov
ince, you were a crowned king.
And people would judge you in
the present, reward you in the
future, by the way you did that
job. Your honor was involved,
your reputation was at stake.
Yes, I know it's considered
childish today to feel that way
about a job. There's a new
school of thought. a sort of be-
lieve-in-yourself-and-a lthings-will-
be-added-unto-you t cory. The
idea is to cast off all your fears
and proceed to tell youSelf that
you're a world-beater and moth

No Tax Increase

Although the report of District Auditor Daniel j.
Donovan shows the ctys financial affairs to be in
rather sorry plight Westinghouse will rejoice that
the fiscal expert sees NO NEED FOR AN IMMEDIATE
INCREASE IN THE LOCAL TAX RATE
According to the report the city will end the present
fiscal year with deficit of slightly less than million
dollars and will during the year, use up surplus of
nearly three million dollars.
On the whole the District if Major Donovans figures
are correct and they usually are, will spend during the
fiscal year which started this month nearly four million
dollars more than it will collect.
This, of course, not go indefinitely
EITHER THE EXPENDITURES OF THE CITY
MUST BE REDUCED OR ADDITIONAL FUNDS
MUST BE COLLECTED
The additional funds can come either from the
pockets of District taxpayers (already carrying a
heavier tax burden than citizens Of any comparable
city, or they can from the Federal Government
which has lately been Sinking its duty toward the
National Capital.
An investigation is to be made this summer under the
direction of the President of the matter Of the Federal
share of local expenses.
That investigation if impartial and complete
will enable the city to put off for long time the
necessity of increasing local taxes

goths, then the Moors and then
the French.
Men fought for Carcassonne for
six hundred years. Simon de

its gray walls and captured it
only after the garrison had been
decimated by disease.
So much for history. You roll

not singing in the streets, knights
at combat in the lists, prisoners
dying in the dungeons and fair
maidens prisoners high up in the
cone-shaped towers.
You go down by night across the
bridge to what they call the new
city, a town more than 1000 years

look at the great wall. the SO

cathedral. And you say:

Our old folks know CarcaSSonne
we'll, though ever so few of them
ever crossed the old stone bridge
and climbed to the narrow gate
in the solid wall of masonry. They
know it from a poem, not an eX-
traordinary piece of verSifying but
one which caught the fancy not
only of the French but of the Eng
disappearing world.
I quoted a verse above, verse
from this poem which swept up
and down our land in the latter
half of the last century pretty
much in the same fashion as THE
Music Goes Round and Round
circulated in the past year.
The poets lament for the peas
ant who never could fill his life
long ambition to go to Carcass
some had the one touch of nature
which makes the whole world kin.
It was the lament of unrequited
yearining, the despair Of those who
seek the unattainable.
The poem found its way into the
school books of our fathers, and
as piece of defamation they
worked it to death, almost as
much as Patrick Henry's Address
to the Virginia Assembly and
Daniel Webster's reply to Senator
Hayne.
Two thousand years ago the
Romans founded Carcassonne,
and the bridge they built across
the Aude still stands today. Those
Romans knew how to do things
with bricks and mortar! They had
an eye also to strategic points,
and the high elevation, rising out
of the foothills Of the Pyrenees,

Such is the accepted Success

courses given IN it. The things

workers dismiss their chores with
a superior sniff. Act as if they
were doing the boss a favor to
work for him. Think it's smart to
laugh at their output.
A job, they feel, is at best merely
a stepping stone. To what? The
youngSter doesn't know. But he's
positive that, regardless Of what
he's doing, he could and should
be doing something much better
and more worthy of his talents.

out of his job, or make much out
of his life, unless he believed in
the thing he was doing. Moreover
I've a notion that theory works
as we'll today as it did thousand
wears ago, or will thousand years
hence.
After all, the job you're doing

perhaps the only contact you'll

tive world. It's for you what

And if you don't get a kick out
of doing this, the chances are
you'll never get a kick out OF

For, after all, the kick lies in
you. not in the job. The right
kind of a man or woman can
find joy and pride in baking a

ton ditch, painting chicken
