Uniform Leave Rules.

Government employees generally will
hail the order issued yesterday by Presi-
dent Roosevelt which, for the first time,
prescribes a uniform method of admin
iStering the leave laws and furnishes a
very necessary complement to the
statutes enacted by the last Congress.
Heretofore. interpretations on many
points have varied because Of the wide
latitude vested in administrative officers,
with the result that some agencies made
more liberal allowances than others, or
permitted practices denied elsewhere.
No better proof of the need for change
Is furnished than by the thousands of
calls for information received by the Civil
Service Commission since the prepara-
tion of the executive order was begun
several weeks ago in conferences of the
heads of the several establishments.
The executive order was issued under
the new laws fixing sick leave at Is days
annually; annual leave at rs days, and
making both cumulative-this last pro-
vision being applied to sick leave for the
first time. In drawing up the regula-
tions the President appears to have
given the broadest application permitted
and intended under the law, retaining
all of the best of the previous admins
trative practices.

Erasmus.

Equipped as he was with healthy
sense of humor, Desiderius Erasmus
might wonder why he should be COM
memorated four centuries after he passed
from his earthly trials to his heavenly
reward. Yet 1t is possible that he would
not disapprove of the effort to keep his
memory green. It was part of his genius
that he could be impersonal, and he
would have been justified If he had pre-
sumed to suppose that his influence
would survive. Certainly his labors
merited enduring appreciation; the fruits
Of his toll were of a natural character to
outlast the age which saw them brought
forth.
But the philosopher himself also should
have a permanent place in the gallery
OF those for whom humanity entertains
affectionate regard. He was q lovable
individual. Sir Thomas More, Dean Colet
and scores of other friends recognized in
him that peculiar charm which Coleridge
later delighted to discover in Charles
Lamb. His earnestness, his serenity, his
capacity for righteous but never extrava-
CANT Indignation, his optimistic belief in
the .perfectability of mankind, his cheer

hopeful expectation Of progress In the

correction Of those grave social inequ1ties
which he was confident could be re-
formed-all these aspects Of his mind
and heart contributed toward his popu-
larity with both great and humble.
Probably the explanation was a deep
and a sincere devotion to the species to
which he belonged. Everything he wrote
had a social purpose. F. 8. Oliver, the
brilliant English publicist who hid his
identity under the curious pen-name, A
Gentleman with Duster, in 1923 de-
clared: Erasmus was the living soul Of
Europe's humanism, the inspiration Of a
culture destined to revolutionize the
world, and he is near to us, and dear to
us, because with all his vast learning ne
never became either a pedant or dilet-
tante." He kept his feet on the earth
even when his eyes were fixed on the
most distant stars. The problems of the
struggling masses were his major con-
cern. He intervened with princes in
their behalf.

important in time when again the
world is bewildered and distraught. He
composed them in one era of transition
the Renaissance; they furnish guidance
in another-the present period of wars
and revolutions and adventurous expert
ments in which the race now is involved.
And as his pages are resurrected, so his
fame is renewed He was a principal
architect of modern civilization builder
of the good values Of modern existence.
For that he should be remembered. It is
privilege to pay homage to him.

THE PRODUCTIVE LIFE
n THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN d. IL d, D. c. L.
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

The word that was most frequently on
the lips of Christ was life. Again and
again He speaks of the satisfactions of
life. the fulnllment Of mans deepest
desires, as being the supreme purpose
OF His ministry. In st. Johns Gospel,
he declares concerning Christ: "In Him
was life and the life was the light of
men," At the beginning Of His sermon
on the mount, Jesus himself declares
that He was not come to destroy, but to
fulflll, and in another place He afirms.
Il am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abun-
dainty"
This particular statement has in our
time been interpreted to mean the acces-
sion Of material things, the satisfaction
Of mans physical desires. This is out
Of consonance with what was in the
mind Of Christ. There Is nothing in His
ministry or teaching that stresses ma
terial values. Repeatedly He affirmed
that there could not be any real salts
faction OF any sort or kind unless within
man there were capacities that would
rightly appraise and use material gifts
and blessings. In one place He said:
Seek ye first the Kingdom Of God and
His Righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you" He directed
His whole teaching to those things that
concern mans interior life. He never as
sumed that external circumstances and
conditions could wholly satisfy the yearn-
ings Of mans deeper nature. He at
tempted to redeem the real values of
life by giving them their proper place.
He would seem to say, Make life right
at its center and all else will take its
proper place" To His mind abundant
living was productive living. The demon
stration Of His philosophy is made evi-
dent by the fact that those who have
contributed the most to the sum total
Of human happiness have, in the main,
lacked the possession of material things
and advantages.
Many of the things that we cherish
Evening star., 1936-07-12

most in art, literature and music have
come to us from lives that were restricted.
that knew the shadows Of disappoint-
ment and oftentimes defeat. As o mat
ter OF fact, the most creative and pro-
ductiye men and women have been those
who have experienced within themselves
what Christ meant when He spoke Of the
abundant life. It has been the stabiliza-
tion and enrichment Of their characters,
the reasonable disciplines imposed upon
themselves and proper restraint that
have brought them to positions of dis
tinction and honor.
The abundant life, so far as our youth
Is concerned, is not made evident where
youth is INDUCED, petted, pampered and
weakened by excesses and indulgences.
We are making strenuous efforts today
to recover those things that we conceive
are the expressions of the abundant life.
We have thought that of ourselves we
could buy that which we most desire. We
have thought that the worlds markets,
with their amazing variety OF the things
which the genius of man has produced.
would afford us once again the satisfac.
tion OF all that we hope for and desire
Let US hope that there are many in our
commonwealth who are beginning to
realize that the real abundant life Is
not q purchasable commodity. To ac-
quire 1t calls for something more than
cleverness and astuteneSs. There are
many people living who think they have
acquired it because they are environed
with luxuries, but they are far from salts
fied. Jesus long ago said: "A mans life
consisteth not in the abundance of the
things he possesseth." Material things
and physical qualification have their
legitimate place, but there is such thing
as the poverty Of riches.
Spending and being spent, we lay
waste our powers" is not poetic concep-
ton, 1t is a demonstrable fact. Moral
values were never so widely disregarded
and ignored as in the years of so-called
prosperity. The abundant life will be
realized when we are At to enjoy 1t.

He Is stalking his future on the out
come of the battle to organize steel
If he loses that battle he would lose
power.
But If he should win q victory, the
country will hear much Of him.
The United States, up until the pres
ent, has not witnessed q broad labor
movement. There has been no strong
labor party based upon class basis,
resting on the votes of workers who vote
as members of the laboring class.
Lewis this year is throwing the sup
port Of his union and that of other
unions affiliated with his Committee for
Industrial Organization to President
Roosevelt. His advisers are talking Of
q farmer-labor party to be built on
the organized labor and organized farmer
vote in time for participation in the
1910 election. Political organization, as
well as labor organization, is in the
backs of the minds of the new labor
group.
All who know John Lewis say that
he is one to brook no interference. He
is q dictator in his own union. He is q
fighter, q man with ability to stir his
followers to an emotional pitch and one
who likes the feel Of power.
The employers who are preparing to
do battle with him know as much, and
both sides are getting ready for fight

who want to help, grab length of hose

Later, when the confagration had been
extinguished, he estimated that the num-
ber of those who hoped" exceeded three
hundred. "They were not only willing"
he remarked, "but almost overeager My
principal difiiculty was keeping them
from charging into danger zones which
trained firemen would have approached
with caution"
OF course, Chief Towey did not attempt
to explain the phenomenon in terms Of
applied psychology. But there can be no
doubt of his instructive recognition OF
the basic element involved. He knows
that the average citizen entertains in his
heart a youthful longing to be vol
unteer fireman. Passing years restrain
the ambition, yet it never dies. Fire
fighting has tremendous appeal to the
Juvenile mind, and its power to stir
the imagination survives throughout the
whole span of life.
In a certain Pennsylvania avenue ONCE
there is man who symbolizes his entire
generation. Finance is his profession;
facts and figures occupy him constantly.
But the sound of fire engines tearing
through the streets is temptation he
cannot resist. The moment their clangor
reaches his ears he springs up from his
desk and dashes to the window. Only
when the noise has died away in the far
distance is he normal" again. Mean
while, he frankly and joyfully has been

he almost never lets me play with it,"
and little sister Dorothy testifies: IT allow
my mother to make clothes for my dolls

For notably dramatic evidence, how

The question of payment of public
men, whether they have several jobs
or not has always been an interesting
one. For almost its entire existence and
until comparatively recently, the British
House of Commons received no pay.
Members of the House Of Lords receive
none now. The head Of the British gov
ernment, the prime minister, receives no
compensation. Usually he also occupies
the post of first lord of the treasury and
this carries O salary, but 1t would be
entirely possible for him TO be unpaid
as prime minister.

ate game call.
South fulfilled his small slam
with ease, by discarding heart los
ers on dummy's established clubs.
West could have entered dummy
twice by means of diamond leads,
to lead hearts through South. If
South played his Ace on the first
lead of hearts, West could have
made his 6-Diamonds readily, by
having dummy ruff one low heart.
In case South refused to play his
Ace Of hearts, either on the first
or second lead of that suit from
dummy, West must have gone
down by having to lose two heart
tricks.
Going down even two tricks
doubled, vulnerable, would have
cost only 500 points, less $50 hon.
ors in a rubber game, or a net of
$50 points. That would have been
a big saving for West, over allow
ing South to make his small slam
undoubled. That scored South
780 points total, aside from giving
his side a game. AS West ven
tured to bid small slam unaided
1 think that he might have risked
bidding the grand slam also.

jump bid Of diamonds, over
South's opening call of 2-Spades,
the wisest bid which could have

Vest have bid a grand slam ?

It is a rather wise ole saying
that it does not pay to jump a bid
over an opening call, but that is
not always true, of course. AS
South had opened with 2-Spades,
he evidently had no intention OF
quitting had West bid only 3-Dia-
monds. Had West bid up no faster
than required to overcall South.
one Of two things might have hap
pened: South might have stopped
bidding at 4-Spades or he might
have doubled Vests Diamonds.

the individual instinctively to bet
ter his posture, because he will be-
gin to throw his head up and his
shoulders back when the draggy
weight from in front is taken off.
The belt should be wide enough to
support the entire abdomen, and
made of adjustable canvas and
elastic at the sides.
Second. Reduction Of overweight.
The belt helps in this because it be-
gins to give warning when heavy
meal comes along. A person OF
this type will object at first to diet
ing, but when he begins to see re-
suits he will become acquiescent.
Start him out with breadless bread,
such as gluten bread; BUTTERFLIES
butter, such as a certain golden
spread; no cream and sugar in his
coffee, no mineral oil salad dress
ing and gravy. That, will take
enough off so that he will feel bet
ter Immediately.
Third. Postural exercises to in
crease the movability of his spine,
get his head up and get the round
out of his round shoulders. The
best Of these can be done by stand
ing up against wall and straight
ening the head up, getting the
shoulders back, leaning over to
liberately walking for ten blocks
make the spine flexible, and de-
with the shoulders back and the
head UP. In the course Of time all
this will again become natural.
