and start buying butter and coffee
we wouldn't be able to 60 and get
the dresses.
Monday morning when I set the
table saw Marian shudder.
In the afternoon, our money orders
having arrived from home, we went
downtown to get our dresses.
We ate our dinner in hurry that
night, without much thought Of nour-
ishment, because we wanted to get the
alterations.
TUESDAY morning, with every clasp
sewed tight and in its proper
place, the length just perfect and
neatly pressed, the two dresses hung
side by side in the closet.
Marian kept looking at them
through the open door to make herself
eat raisin bread without thinking
about it.
BY that time I was ready to admit
myself that perhaps our idea wasn't
as brilliant as it had seemed at
first.
Wednesday we stopped speaking to
each other. And Thursday we began
to see spots before our eyes, to say
nothing of slight feelings Of faintness
| and nausea.
Friday morning We dragged our
selves to school, breakfastless. The
raisin bread wouldn't stay down any
| more.
I asked to be excused early in the
afternoon so that might 60 home and
to bed. I found Marian already there.
moaning and groaning and dashing
| to the bath room, and after each
dash looking greener and moaning
| louder.
Finally her groaning. supplemented
by mine, attracted the attention of
good old Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, who
went away to prepare us a soup
bone.
We thought up until the last minute
and with the help of the soup bone
we might still be able to go to the
party.
But when the doorbell rang at 8
o'clock Marian didn't even raise her
head from the pillow. while from
the bath room told Mrs. O'Shaugh-
messy: "Just tell them it must have
been something we ate"
It makes a good story now, now that
Marian and I are married. to Bob and
Jack, and each owns mink coat. But
it wasn't funny then.

families, who lived In Montgomery
County and wanted us to escape the
hardships of farm life by becoming
school teachers.
We were in the habit Of buying
remnants of material, out OF which
we made our own clothes. Then after
wearing a dress year or two wed
turn it inside out or upside down or
on a bias to make it look like some
thing new.
X X X Il
DUT when Bob and Jack, who are
now our husbands, asked us TO
go to the junior prom we were OUT
of luck. We didn't have party dress
to turn inside out, and no amount
of skill and ingenuity can make an
evening dress out OF a homemade
taffeta.
So there we were. Until Marian
got the bright idea that If we'd live
on bread and water for two weeks
(people did it in prisons for years at
a time, she told me) we could take
our board money and buy ourselves a
dress apiece.
I was so anxious to go to the party
It sounded like brilliant idea to me.
We began the very night she thought
of it.
We bought raisin bread because
Marian said it would be more nour-
ishing. Mrs. O'Shaughnessy kindly
lent us a knife, without suSpecting
what we wanted it for. After our work
desk was set, with two glasses OF
water, the knife, four slices of raisin
bread.
"If you chew your food well you
get more nouriShment out OF 1t,
Marian commented.
So, chewing our food we'll, we dis
cussed the merits of buying remnant
finding something on a mark-down
rack.
THE next morning we started out,
in bowling blizzard, for Wash
tngton, and found two dresses at price
we would be able to pay, which, with
a little alteration, would be perfect.
We didn't have our board money for
that week yet, but the salesgirl said
she would put them away for us. Eve
ming dresses didn't sell so fast.
That was Saturday, and the party
was to be Friday night.
Sunday morning we slept until noon
and breakfasted on the half loaf OF
bread left from Saturday nights din
ner. Our windows were covered with
thick frost and we could see our breath
in the cold room. The water that
took the place of our morning coffee
was cold as ice. Huddled on the radi-

P. Wolcott CRO OF Michigan, pro
tested.
He contended that the legisla-
ton was merely designed to blan-
ket into the Civil Service the hun
dreds of Democratic post masters
now in office.
The Republicans wished to have
all postmaSters submit to competi.
tive examinations at once.
According to Ramspeck, accept
ance Of such a proposition would
cause the Government to give some
$4,000 examinations to present
and prospective officials.
He contends:
"That would be too great q
task for any administration in
one term"
Actually, it is the same old story
Of both sides trying to get the
jobs.
With the Democrats in power
they do not wish to lose the post
masterships the Republicans anx-
iouSly seek.
The followers of the G. o. P. do
not wish the Democrats to blanket
in their present postmasters.
If and when the Republicans re-
gain their lost control of power
the situation will be partially the
same-except reversed.

'moat. The width Of the moat
was more than 100 feet and it
was ornamented with magnificent
stone parapetS and corniceS, all
elaborately carved. Where the
moat enters the temple enclosure
through the outer walls there is
gateway of such matchleSS design
and amazing construction that
the worlds great architects have
regarded it in SpeechleSs wonder
and despair. Not only is it said
that the design of the temple is
beyond comprehension, but even
the worlds greatest authority on
architecture has declared that it
could not be duplicated even with
all the tools. materials and aids
that are at the command of
builders today.
{ BY MOONLIGHT
But as marvellous as is ANCHOR
Wat by day, it is under the spell
Of the moonlight that 1t becomes
even more fantastic and lovely. AS
the shadows creep across the eve
ming sky, then lengthen, great
Swarms Of bats leave their haunts
in the central towers on their way
to the nearby lakes. From the
jungleS, close at hand, come Shrill
cries, and strange notes-as birds
and beasts wander or fly through
the night.
Within sight Of the great wat
is a splendid hotel put up by the
French authorities. On the ter.
race, one may dine, then sit and
lnger as the moon rises and sheds
its silver glow over the temple
and surrounding buildings. The
sense Of remotenesS, of detach.
ment from the world, that this ex.
perience brings, is worth coming
far to know. For it will never
leave one. And if one is at ANCHOR
or at Saigon during the season,
and there are sufficient visitors,
there will be a dance festival that,
like the ruins Of the temple, tells
the graphic story of the glory that
was the Khymer civilization.
Dancing girls of Cambodia wear
the most elaborate costumes,
costly and rare je- 'els, and fantas-
tically beautiful headdresseS. Silks,
gold, precious stones, gleam in the
light Of torches as the girls, 20
in all, tell in dance nd song the
customs, the life, the beauty of
their long-ago forbearS. It is q
fitting festival for the beauty Of
the scene.
The Washington times., 1936-02-06

Time was when there was q
tremendous chaSm between man
life and woman life. Nature had
started the sexes out evenly
enough-making them all Of q
piece-but society had nodded the
woman into something that was
neither fish, flesh nor fowl. A
perverted, parasitic creature, with.
out legal rights, denied education
or social experience, depending on
man for her very right live. So
ciety had made woman live like q
gopher and she thought like a
gopher-circuitously, cropping and
conni;-ing in the dark.
CONVENIENT
But that time has passed
much to the regret Of many
ladies who found it extremely
convenient.
Women are back where they
started sharing man life, getting
whatever breaks he gets-with as
good a chance to make them
selves healthy, wealthy and wise.
There is no longer any reason
for treating woman differently
from a man or for granting
her special consideration or ex-
emption.
There are no "sex distinctions"
in man and woman nature. Her
brain and emotions function ex-
actly as his function.
She loves as hard, hates as

hard, thinks as straight-or as
crooked.
And, with sensible allowance
for the temporary handicaps
which motherhood imposes, she's
as husky an animal as he, and
as able to bear her share Of work
and responsibility.
AS for woman's boaSted "intui-
tion' it's the bunk. Intuition is
merely a woman's catch-aS-catch-
can way of reasoning-a tech
nique which she developed in her
long generations Of gophering.
Sometimes that technique is
amazingly successful, and we con-
clude that the lady is Boojum

Most Of the misery between
men and women is due to this ira
dition of mystery" A man will
stand dishonesty, cowardice, lazi-
ness, disloyalty and stupidity
from a woman which he wouldn't
tolerate from a man for 10 sec
onds, because she's different"
He cannot yet realize that
there isn't a particle Of difference
between male and female cusSed-
ness-that they both have the
same source and can be cured by
the same methods.
And usually, he doesn't want to

full, ambitious, commanding man
with the common touch.
One may reach his own conclu-
sionS as to whether this is dema-
gogy or democratic leadership
indeed, in may mean either. But
the fact Is that in breaking old
ties, the world accents and exalts
powerful human personality.
John L. Lewis came out OF q
mine pit to assume leadership OF
the largest labor union in the
world. With his new vertical union,
startling variant from traditional
labor technique, and with his &C
uuired momentum as a highly per
sonalized political force, he weighs
heavily In the equations OF power
in q critical year.
The genius Of Alfred z. Smith
was fashioned and tempered in a
great city as he moved up from
city streets and fish market be
ginnings. He, too, stands near the
fulcrum Of power. They are op-
posed.
In Constitution Hall, Washing
ton, at the convention Of the
United Mine Workers Of America,
Mr.. Lewis thunderously denounced
Alfred e. Smith.
EFFECTIVE ORATOR
Swift and confusing are the
shifts in the broken field Of a cam
paign year. Lewis carries more
than 100000 workers with him, In
his vertical union. He has . gift
and an acquired skill as an orator
perhaps unmatched by that OF any
man in American public life today.
He is a master Of the art Of the sud
den, climactic thrust which stirs a
crowd to a high pitch OF emotion
His technique is somewhat like
that of Senator Borah-he IS not
unlike q bigger and more belliger-
ent Borah when he is in action.
Their methods are the same. An
innocent, diSarming, casual open
ing in debate which lures the
adversary in with his guard down.
And then the kill, much as a
matador dispatches bull.
Lewis physical reserves are
greater than those Of Borah. Left
wing union adversarieS against
the right-wing Lewis have COM
pared the impact Of his oratorical
wallop to the caress of a ton Of
coal smacking them in the eye.
He is roughly square-hewn out Of
Q big block.
His big flop Of lose brown hair

but mostly pompadour or just q
thatch. He Is deep-chested and
erect, agile in movement. His
hands are slender and facile,
eloquent in their hiStrionic uses
as he delineates with them
Subtlety or force.
Perhaps on account Of his long
experience in public speaking, his
voice is a bit orotund in converse
ton. But it is not the speech Of
the blowhard orator. This man,
who spent his youth underground,
has q sensitive ear for all the
sounds Of the world Of sunlight.
He knows the cadenceS, the tempo,
the intonations Of effective speech
as well as any Harvard philologiSt.

MAJORITY RULES

Representative Charles j.
Golden CD of California, called
his committee together the other
morning.
He had to summon one other
man in addition to himself.
The other member, Representa-
tive Bertrand w. Gearhart (RO
of California, constitutes the
other half of the two-man COM
mittee on disposition of execu-
tive papers.
The smallest committee in the
House, the Committee on Dispo-
sition Of Executive Papers, was
once known as the Committee for
Disposition of Useless Papers, but
in recent years its members have
sought q more formal title.
When Golden called the COM
mittee for meeting the ether
morning, Capitol attaches said:
THAT is the first time the
mittee has met in 20 years"
The committee has met on
other occasions in the two dec.
ades, but attaches have yet to

RUINS OF ANCHOR

There are some sights that are
so unforgetable, so powerful, that
one can conjure them up on
memory'S screen, in an instant.
The first glimpse of the frozen
poetry of the Tai Mahal. the
marble majesty of the Acropolis,
the grandeur Of the Coliseum at
Rome-these are gems that are
indeed precious to the traveller.
There is ANCHOR, held by many
connoiSSeurS to be the most won.
derful, the most inspiring sight
in the world. Certainly it is all
this, plus being fascinating and
amazing to a rare degree. And
if you glimpse the noble ruins
for the first time under the Sor.
cery of moonlight, then you will
indeed be fortunate. For it is
the most beautiful picture that
nature, time and man has de-
viSed.
Cambodia is one Of the five
sections that make up French
Indo-C China, and it is the most
famous Of the five because it
contains the ruins of ANCHOR.
The ruins were unknown until
less than SO years ago when
they were discovered virtually
concealed by lush jungle growth.
The French government has been
sponsoring excavation work ever
since, and daily new and amaz'
ing discoveries are unearthed
ANCHOR Thorn was the capital
city Of the Khymer civilization, a
civilization that disappeared myS
teriously some 900 years ago.
UNIQUE TEMPLE
It must have been a remark
ably advanced and artistic people
that could imagine, then build
such an edifice as the Wat, or
great temple, a quarter-mile-long
building that beggarS even mad
equate description. The Khymer
civilization has disappeared. but
it's culture, its proweSS, its sense
Of beauty, nobility and harmony
will endure as long as the ruins
of ANCHOR Wat still stand.
The walls which enclose the
great temple are a mile in ex
tent. Beyond these walls, there
was once a broad moat, which to-
day is partly filled in. Smooth
flagstones a yard square and
joined as perfectly as woods in
