WRITER SAYS PHONE CALLS
BRING DIAMONDS"

Each time the telephone jingles
in the freight or passenger Office, the
person at the other end Of the wire
is usually buying diamonds" de-
clares an editorial in "The Rail"
employee magazine Of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio and Pere Marquette
Railway Companies. "The 'dia-
monds' that these day-in and day
out callers bring are the diamonds
from which you earn your living"
says the publication. "And SO, the
next time the telephone rings, hop
to it with the alacrity and courtesy
that you would accord a friend bear
ing diamonds"

CONSTIPATION CUTS
DOWN YOUR ENERGY,
DuLLS HAPPINESS

Don't let common constipation
take all the fun out of living. This
condition drains your vitality and
enthusiasm. 1t may also be the
cause of dull headaches, poor appe-
tite, sleeplessness. You feel punk.
Why endure half-sick days when
you can correct constipation due to
meals low in "bulk" by eating a
delicious cereal?
Millions of people have used Kel-
logg's ALL-BRAN with satisfactory
results. Laboratory tests prove it's
safe and effective.
Within the body, ALL-BRAN abb
serbs twice it's weight in water, and
gently cleanses the intestines. Isn't
this food better than taking weaken
ing pills and drugs?
Eat two tablespoonfuls daily.
Three times daily, in severe cases.
Serve as cereal with milk or cream,
or in recipes. Sold by all grocers.
Made and guaranteed by Kellogg

Writes President

In a letter to President RooSe
velt made public today, the Ma
tional League of Women Voter
advises the President of a specia
vote by the Leagues board Of di
rectorS indorsing his reorganiza
ton plan of the Civil Service Com
mission.
The letter to the President, writ
ten by Miss Anna Lord Strauss
second vice president, follows
"On behalf of the National
League of Women Voters, it is
my pleasant duty to express to
you the belief of the members of
the organization that you have
made possible a significant ad-
vance in regard to personnel ad-
ministratiOn in the Federal Gov
ernment in your advocacy of the
recommendations of your Com
mittee on Administrative Man
agement. AS you have ex-
pressed so often and so ably,
Government exists to serve, and
SO is dependent upon the caliber,
skill and devotion of public Serv-
ants.
"The Board of Directors of
the National League of Women
Voters has voted today to sup
port the reorganization of the
Civil Service administration.
We believe that a single Civil
Service administrator with non
Salaried board will facilitate the
development of the best prac-
ticeS.
"The other recommendations
of your Committee on Admin
istrative Management are in
line with ones that long have
been advocated by the League
of Women Voters, and that have
been brought to the attention
of the public by the Leagues
Personnel Campaign. During
the course of this campaign we
have become increasingly aware
of the force of the growing be-
lief that self respect and ma
tional pride call for the break
ing of the bondage of century,
and the beginning in earnest to
enlist, train and reward public
servants skilled in managing
our common concerns.
1--WE feel sure you will find
q bulwark of public belief back
of your efforts to improve the
Federal Civil Service.
"The rest of the report is a
valuable and carefully analyZed
contribution to the cOnSidera-
tiOn of the grave problems of
administrative management in
the Federal Government. We
will advise and foster careful
study of it by our members
throughout the United States"
WILL BREAK RECORD
Indications are that an alI-timt
record of attendance will be set al
the Forty-SiXth Continental Con
gress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, which con
venes here April 10.
Preparations are being made fol
one of the greatest gatherings o.
the D. A. R. in history, according
to an announcement from Mrs
William A. Becker, president gen
eral.
Seating capacity of Constitution
Hall has always been taxed to the
limit by delegates and alternate
and, in addition this year, hun
dreds of members will come tt
Washington to attend at least
some of the sessions and to par
ticipate in the many social func
tionS.
This year it has been necessary
to limit the number of pages t,
the Congress to a representation
based on a percentage of the mem
bership of the respective States
with no exceptions to this rule.

Suicide Laid to Illness

NEW YORK, Jan. 25 Q.N.S0 j..

who shot himself through the

bells and fine rain Of vapor from
steam dropping through the two small
square holes directly overhead IN the
brief cover to the engine.
To me, all Of these things made me
feel that I was really railroading for
the first time. No wonder railroad
men stay on and on in service There
Is an irresistible fascination about 1t
that must be hard to overcome.
We were now going down grade and
the cab commenced to pitch and roll
and bounce. I tried to yell into the
flremans ear about the speed. and
finally he understood and pointed to
the speedometer. Eighty-five.
l could feel the fine black coal dust
poWdering my skin. I had forgotten
to wear glasses or goggles, SO l was
forced to shut one eye, and when we
passed other trains turned my head
aside like the fireman.
With my left eye shut and peering
through the narrow slit window along
the seemingly endless black length of
the coot-covered engine to the track
somewhere ahead, I felt as if l were
looking along the barrel of huge
rifle through the peep sight toward
the range, or perhaps gazing through
the sights and along the sides of
mammoth telescope. All things con-
sidered, however did not get as dirty
as had imagined 1 would We drew
to a stop. We were in Union Station
once more.
