years been intending to- invest IN
Industrial securities, the remainder
the balance of his current account
His standard of living had al
ways marched pretty close to ms
income, and he had never succeeded
in saving very much. During the
last year, owing to Esther's accl-
dent. he had spent considerably
more than was coming in. He mao
planned to put by 5000 or f3oO a
year when he reached the age OF
SO. Presuming he retired at 90
this amount, together with what
he had saved already, and the pro-
ceeds of the sale of his practice,
would have sufficed to buy him a
comfortable annuity and make pro-
vision for Esther, if still alive.
It was evident that this scheme
would have to be modified. He
was afraid he might have to go
up to f1,OOO to attract Adams.
At the same time, he was not pre-
pared to curtail drastically his
rate of expenditure. He was fixed
in his personal habits, used to GER
tain comforts and cOnveniences
which cost money; besides, his
pride made it impossible to inaugu-
rate his marriage to Alma with a
regime of economy.
After long thought he devised
whae Co., ! % BE L likely solu-
ton. Ii he let The Wilderness,
which he could probably do at a
rental of between $500 and 94OO
a wear. he believed he would be
able to borrow from his bank
enough to make up E1,O00 to buy
off Adams. The rent would serve
as security, and afford him some
thing over for current expenses.
In the meantime he and Alma
could live at Maybank. It would
be wrench parting with The
Wilderness, it would be hard tc
ask Alma to share the sacrifice
for she had obviously fallen in
love with the place. But he coulC
provide very plausible reason
which would do him credit-say
that for the time being memories
of. Esther had made the place I'M
bearable to him. And they woulc
be able to return there directly
his finances were straight again
probably in a couple of years.
Under such circumstances, how.
ever, it would be advisable for hin
to make the gesture of offering tt
pay the rent of Maybank, or a
least part of it. He was pretty
certain that this did not amount
to more than ESQ or EGO a year
at an outside figure, but it became
important to find out something
about Alma's financial situation.

LABOR STANDARDS
BILL CHANGE HIT
u. F. w. A. Scores Amend
ment as Merit Principle
Violation.

Attacking the amendment to the
labor standards bill which makes
positions in the Administering Board
subject to Senate confirmation if they
pay $4,000 or more, the United Fed
eral Workers of America today de-
clared it violates the principle of
appointment on merit"
The amendment, sponsored by Sena-
tor Bailey, Democrat. of North Caro-
lima, was adopted by the Senate, 70
to II.
Considerations Cited
while We can assume that the
intention of the Senate in this amend
ment is to make certain that the
administration of this bill shall be
effective and wholly sympathetic to
the purposes of this act" said a
statement by Jacob Baker, president
Of the I. F. w, I'VE feel that there
are considerations that members of
the House Of Representatives, parti-
cularly the House Labor Committee,
As we'll as the general public and all
Interested organizations should have
in mind.
The effect of this amendment is
haSlCally to modify the existing CLASH
f1CatlOn law. 1t violates the principle
of appointment on merit, and does
not even limit such employees to the
usual exempt class of attorneys and
experts, but would apply to all en-
rloyeS drawing such salaries. whether
now appointed, later appointed or even
promoted.
Nothing to Bar Lower Limits.
"The implication of this is that
II such an amendment should be-
come a law there is nothing to pre-
vent the pay standard of $4,000 a
year. subject to the confirmation Of
the Senate, being lowered to S3,6OO,
$4,000, S2000-or. in fact, to any and
all positions in the executive civil
service.
The United Federal Workers be-
lieyeS, therefore, that such an amend
ment is contrary to the principles
Of existing law, as we'll as clearly
in opposition to the civil service pro-
visions Of the platforms Of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties.
We believe the effect of the
adoption Of this amendment would
be to add more confusion to the
present situation, and simply to in
crease the pressure upon Senators
and Representatives for purely per-
sonal appointments"

"BAWLED HIM OUT"
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been going steady" with
a boy for about three months,
but have known him for over
three years. He formerly went
with another girl, but now he
says he's in love with me.
Recently saw him with this
other girl, and I became very
jealous and "bawled him out"
He said he never took a "bawling
out" from any woman. and that
his affection for me has grown
less as the result of it. I apollo
gised for what I said, but he
hasn't treated me the same
since. What can I do to mend
matters? REGRETFUL.
Everyone, at one time or an
other, has had the temptation
to do a little Of this so-called
"bawling out" But if you're wise
you'll refrain from giving in to
this temptation, because what
has been said can never be un-
said. Better forget it, and trust
TO time to work its customary
magic in healing things.

in a distant city. I have known
of their engagement since last
May. I met her at a dinner
party this summer. I have never

Many temperamental all.
ments and much nervousness
may be traced directly to eye
strain. Sometimes it exists I'm.
recognized and often it is a
matter of neglect and careless
ness.
Too many of us refuse to
give the eyes necessary care.
We would do anything rather
than wear glasses. Women pur-
posely avoid going to an eye
specialist, even though they sui.
fer from poor vision, for fear he
might prescribe glasses.
This is just foolish pride, and
we should not indulge in any.
thing that may lead to disas-
trouS results, as this may. Many
cases Of eye trouble are relieved
without the aid Of glasses and
one should not hesitate to have
the best advice in any eye
trouble.
We are reckless in the abuse
we give the eyes; dim light or
too intense light should not be
used for close work. Sunlight is
beneficial to a reasonable de-
gree, but a strong, glaring light
is harmful. Reading while re.
clining or on a moving train or
car is also an eyeStrain. Coming
into a dimly lighted room or
theater from the daylight will
strain the eyes also. When going
to q movie in the daytime, eye
specialists advise us to close the
eyes for about five minutes be-
fore we try to focus them on the
picture.
Never rub the eyes with a
harsh or forceful movement
Gentle rubbing over the closed
eyelids and around the eyes is
very soothing. however.
The eyes sparkle and respond
to fresh air just as the skin does,
and they should be exposed to
an air bath daily.
