Peet-weet!" he called as he flew out
over the Smiling Pool, heading for
the other side.
He was lucky" thought Redwing,
whereas the truth was that Teeter
was watchful, not lucky.
And then, from seemingly out of
nowhere, appeared Sharpshin the
Hawk. He appeared to be just about
to strike Teeter. Even as Redwing
prepared to dive down out of sight
among the bushes he saw Teeter
strike the water and disappear, while
Sharpshin swept on with empty
claws. A couple Of minutes later
Redwing, peeping out from his hiding
place, saw Teeter swimming toward
shore. Suddenly he took to his wings
and flew the rest Of the way.

Bedtime Stories
All in a Day.

Teeter the Spotted sandpiper Is a
modest little fellow, who, like 50 many
Of the little feathered and furred
folk, asks no more than to be allowed
to 60 his unobtrusive way If he could
talk to you he undoubtedly would tell
you that he harms no one and can
see no reason why any one should try
to harm him. But what q different
story the insects he is constantly
searching for would tell If they could
speak. They fear him and other
birds, as he fears Sharpshin the
Hawk and other hunters, and for the
same reason So for most Of Mother
Natures children life Is largely one
adventure after another, one escape
after another, every day.
1t Is just so with Teeter the Sand
piper. Az home in the air, at home
on the land and able to swim and
dive, one would think that he might
feel reasonably secure, but long ago
he learned that wherever he Is there
danger may be also, and he must
always be watching for 1t and pre-
pared to avoid 1t.

HESE days We read and we hear
great deal about security
security for nations, security

age, security for the young-when all
the time there Is no such thing as
absolute security. and probably there
never will be. It Is just so among
the people Of the Green Meadows and
the Green Forest. the Laughing Brook
and the Smiling Pool. Everybody
everywhere Is subject to danger Of one
kind or another. Giving insecurity
instead Of security to all her children
is Old Mother Natures way Of develop
ing them. Probably no one thing has
done SO much to make man what he is
at his best today, and the various
lesser folk what they are, as insecur-

ness and finding new ways to meet

wing. Il do believe he was after
Teeter! And hadn't supposed that
there was any one in the water for

So 1t was that all in the space OF
q few minutes Teeter had escaped
an enemy on the ground, an enemy
in the air and an enemy in the
water. Yet already he was running
along the shore quite as if nothing had
happened. He wasn't nervous or wor-
ried or upset. He had escaped, so why
think about what had happened? 1t

Service Commission and other friends
Of the merit system regret that this
bill has practically abandoned the
merit system so far as concerns the
employees under the commission being
required to pass civil service examina-
tions and tests before appointment"
The civil service exemption in the
Crop Insurance Corp. bill, subject Of
an extended Senate colloquy, brought
from Senator Logan, Democrat, of
Kentucky the tart comment that mo
bill ever comes in here which says that
the employees provided for by it shall
be selected without regard to the
civil service which does not make me
| just little bit sick at the stomach.
, think it is about the most outrageous
thing know"
Challenges Death by Torture"
Senator White again added his voice
in opposition:
"All along the line it would seem
we are making exceptions" he said.
I'VE are taking out from under the
obligation to maintain a merit system
in this, that and the other department
and activity of the Government. II
We are against the merit system, if
We are against the civil service, why
do we not say SO and wipe out the
whole thing instead of bringing it to
slow death by torture Of this sort?"
Senator Pope, Democrat, Of Idaho
undertook a defense.
The bill started out with but two
exceptions, he explained-attorneys
and experts to be employed or those
already employed in the Department
of Agriculture.
Hearings and investigation. he said,
developed eventually that "the ex-
ceptions to civil service rules and reg
ulations exceeded those who might
properly be included. 1t was found
that about rs per cent of the en-
ployes of this type Of corporation
would be doing that type of work"
hmplifying, Pope listed these as
local or regional committees and en-
ployes, secretaries, inspectors, ad-
justers, freight rate clerks, account
ants, warehouse men and others, some
OF whom would work only part time.
II think many of the employees to
whom the Senator has referred might
with entire appropriateness and with
effectiveness be under the civil seTv-
ice," White responded. ,"Of course.
every one recognizes that certain ex-
ceptions may properly be made to
the civil service; but the thing that
troubles me about the whole situation
is that over and over again measures
are coming In here proposing lifting
of the standards of the civil service
and providing for appointments with
out any regard to it, and, Of course,
when it Is desired to do a thing q
reason for the proposed action can
always be found"
The bill, now in the House, carries
this clause, which is little more than
a pious hope: THE appointment Of
officials and the selection Of employees
by the Secretary shall be made only
on the basis Of merit and efficiency"

employment.
+ Making funds appropriated for emer-
gency relief available for health and
sanitation activities in the flood area,
the law provides for "the employment
of personnel in the City of Washington
and elsewhere, without regard to the
civil service laws and the classification
act OF 1928, as amended, to replace
commissioned officers and other en-
ployes of the Public Health Service
detailed to the flood-stricken areas. "
The Public Health Service, an arm
Of the Treasury, is under civil service.
Presumably, this employment will be
temporary in nature. But how tenn
porary remains to be seen
The new Gutfey bill to regulate the
soft coal industry was treated as
though the Supreme Court had taken
particular exception to its personnel
provisions when invalidating the for
mer act.
When the old law emerged from the
House, it carried the modern" civil
service exemption, but Senator Walsh,
Democrat, of Massachusetts,, led a
fight that upset this, and the result
was measure that was rigid in it's
requirements, even the appointment
of a secretary for the Coal Commits
sion being subject to competitive test.
Conferees accepted this change in ac-
cordance with the efforts of the ad-
ministration to put permanent agen-
cies on a civil service basis. As an
added feature, the law carried an anti
nepotism clause prohibiting members
Of the commission from hiring rela-
tives by marriage or blood within the
third degree.
Senate Committee Boosts.
When the present legislation was
being framed the House excluded from
civil service the secretary, clerks to
commissioners, attorneys, special
agents, technical experts and exam
liners. The Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee saw this bet and
raised it, managers and employees of
the statistical bureaus hereinafter pro-
vided for" being added to the ex-
emptees. In this form the bill passed
the Senate. The anti-nepotism
clause, however, was retained.
When the Senate started juggling
the employment sections Of the pres
ent bill, Senator Walsh was absent,
but Senator White, Republican, Of
Maine, . member of the Civil Service
Committee. entered an emphatic pro-
test.
Then the measure came up for final
passage and Walsh raised the issue
anew. He was informed by Senator
Nicely. Democrat, of West Virginia
that "the committee decided that the
exemptions contained in the bill are
necessary"
After talking with members of the
committee and urging that this fea-
ture Of the bill be given reconsidera-
ton, have reached the conclusion
that it would be useless to offer an
amendment in view of what has hap
pened to other amendments which
have been offered in the Senate, +"
Walsh replied. However, do want

civil service in the present Congress
was passage by the House of the bill
to take postmasters of the first, second
and third class off of the pie counter
Some critics have been unkind enough
to say that this got by only because
it would freeze" in Office the incum-
bents who generally are Democrats,
but at any rate, it represents a step
in the right direction. The Senate
is still to act
Mellon Emphatic on Point.
One civil service bill has completed
passage. Due to the insistence of
former Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon, the National Gallery of Art,
to be started with his collection of old
masters, will be staffed-with but four
exceptions in executive posts by en-
ployes from civil service lists. Mellon
was reported to have been particularly
emphatic on that point.
There is a fish and fowl measure
that also has completed passage. 1t
provides five professorships at the
Coast Guard Academy, with appoint
ment by the President, subject to Sem
ate confirmation but makes three in
svructors subject to competitive ex-
animation.
For the rest OF it, measures to ex
tend the merit principle are gathering
dust, although Representative Rams
peck, Democrat, of Georgia, chairman
Of the House Civil Service Committee,
has held hearings on legislation to
accomplish this.
More and more, those watching the
continued trend away from civil serv-
ice are becoming convinced that it
will only be halted by emphatic inter-
vention Of President Roosevelt There
has been but one case in the half CEN
tury of operation of the act where a
Chief Executive has gone to the mat
With Congress on this issue.
In 1909, when preparations for the
decennial census were under way
Theodore Roosevelt asked Congress
to provide for civil service employment
In creating the census staff. Congress
blandly ignored the request, exempting
the positions, and Roosevelt vetoed the
bill. The veto was upheld, and the
law was framed according to his de-
sires.

Henderson is known in the mu-
sic circles as the country's fore
most swing arranger and many of
the greatest name bands use his
arrangements. Numbered among
them who swing out in Henderson
style are Benny Goodman, Jimmy
Dorsey, Glen Gray and his Casa
Iona Orchestra, Isham Jones and
Jack Hylton. Hylton incidentally,
made Henderson a flattering offer
to go to England with him and be-
come his arranger. Right now
Henderson devotes most of his
time to making arrangements for
his own band. He prefers arrang-
ing to directing and declares he
never studied musical theory or the
problems of arranging; says ar
ranging just comes natural to him
and that he can jot down notes rid
ing in a subway, touring in his
automobile or while watching a
ball game.

omy while at school and at present
is interested in astrology. Has no
superstitions and likes to be the

in listening to the radio and hear

rangements.
