The Forgotten Job

NY hope that the Presidents advisory committee
"A on fiscal relations would settle the problem which
it was appointed to investigate has been completely dis
spated by the committees report and the reaction to It,
Within few days after the committee made public
its report and recommendations a resolution intro
duced in the Senate providing for another investigation
one except the executive officer of the Presidents
committee, has attempted to defend the report and
criticism has come not only from Washingtonians but
from Influential and unbiased members of both the Sen
ate and the House.
Such criticism was inevitable when the committee
lost sight of the fact that it appointed to study the
fiscal relationship between the Federal Government and
its National Capital.
It considered many things produced many findings
made many recommendations and even compounded
"formula" but it to have got 1t through
its collective head that the District of Columbia is not
simply an average city and that the American people
do not consider 1t so.
The committee ascertaned the fact that only forty
five per cent of the land in the District is privately
owned but ddn consider that fact important enough
to let it enter its "formula." :"
It ascertaned the fact that terms of value the Fed
eral Government has holdings here amounting to ap
proxmaelv onethrd of the assessed value of all the
property, both taxable and exempt
But this latter fact too is given consideration IN
the committee's "formula.'
However, the committee did include in its "formua"
consideration of such tremendously important items as
the cost of caring for District patients at St. Ezabehs
Hospital and the cost Of reviewing the District budget
The committee prints in its voluminous report the
following provision of the appropriation law under
which it functioned.
"Not to exceed $4,000 shall be available for ex-
penditure under the direction of the President,
for making an independent study of the fiscal re-
IatiOns between the United States and the Dis
trict of Columbia and enabling him to report to
Congress at the beginning of the next regular
session, DEat, in his Judgment is fair and eQutG
bic amount to be paid by the United States as an
annual contribution tOWard the expenses of the
government of the District of Columbia ~
That is the study which the committee appointed
to make and that is the report which it directed to
submit.
IT HAS SUBMITTED REPORT WITH THAT
LABEL ON IT. BUT STUDY OF ITS TWO HUN
DRED AND FORTY PAGES LEADS US TO THE
CONCLUSION THAT THE COMMITTEE EITHER
DID NOT READ THE ABOVE PROVISION AT ANY
TIME DURING ITS MONTH OF STUDY OR, THAT
IF 1T DID READ THE PROVISION, IT FAILED
UTTERLY TO UNDERSTAND ITS MEANING.

Human Side of eNeWs
By Edwin C.. Hill

But possibly Friday Is normally
the big day for the hotel. The
comparison Of months Is useless
because April may have had five
Fridays and october only four.
This may not seem so tremen-
dously important, but it happens
Just now that big business, weigh
ing the delicate question Of OBJ
solescence, Of requirements and
bettermentS, Is getting into all
sorts Of subtleties never discovered
before. And so more and more,
it is moving in with the calendar
reformerS.
But there is by no means an
agreement that the thirteen
month year offers the solution.
Opposition remains powerful.
The twelve-months plan pro-
vides that the first month Of each
quarter-January, April, July and
October-Shall have thirty-one
days and all other months thirty,
with ninety-one days in each quar-
ter. The extra day at the end Of
the year would be holiday. In
Leap Year, there would be an ad-
ditional holiday Immediately after
June 80.
Nazi Germany takes calendar re-
form very seriously. Herr Hitler
strongly favorS the 12-month, as
against the 13-month plan. An
odd toss of chance here may turn
history to a new time accounting.
It 1919 Hitler was the seventh
man to join the German Workers
Party, which finally lifted him to
power. This experience gave him
high esteem for the number a."
and regard for the potence Of
numbers in general, with an equal
dislike for the number "13."
THOROUGH JOB
So in Germany it has been
thumbs down on the 13-month
year, but the Germans, in their
usual workmanlike manner, pro-
pose to make q thorough job Of
these calendar changes and to
change the names of the months
as well, in accordance with the
pagan Nordic backdrop Of Ger
many today.
Here are the month names and
their meanings, as proposed in
the German plan:
January-Hartung, the rough
harsh month Of snow and ice;
February-Hornung, the time
when the animals Sprout their
new horns-a favorite theme Of
pagan poets; March-Lenzmond,
Hitler probably hated to drop
Mars, but there Is substituted the
word for the first gentle flutter Of
spring; April-OStermond, Easter
month, which provides a fixed
Easter date in the twelve month
equal quarter plan; May-Wonne-
mond, GladneSS month, the name
denoting joy and hope; June
Brachet, everything growing, this
word was a sort Of pagan ringside
cheer when the grass got growing;
July-Heuet, the month of the
earlier reaping of hay and grass;
August - Erntning, the harvest
month; misunderstanding the
boundary line month for reasons
undiSclosed; october - Geldhard,
the month Of golden foliage; No.
Notwithstanding, the mist month
Of cold and rain; December
Christmond, "The Christ Month";"
replacing the ancient Julmond.
Well, the world do move, as
Calico said, and maybe we can
juggle time itself to suit our needs.

to miss you things will be
quite different.
M. WI am very much worried.
Tell me if my husband will do
what I want and how soon?
Ans.-He is very firm in his de-
cisiOn not to TAKE YOU BACK
so you may as well give up the
idea for while. He was hurt and
as you well know it takes him a
mighty long time to get over dis
appointments such as you forced
on him. Don't keep after him
let him come to you.
D. B. ibid she die a natural
death and will you please give me
full particulars? What must
do?
Ans.-She did E. . entirely nat
ural. No one was responsible in
any way for your mother passing
on. If possible complete your
school training and if you find this
cannot be done then find a job
and go to work and take some kind
of night school course.
P. S.-What is the matter with
my girl friend and me? Is the
fault in her or in me? Is she
going with another man?
Ans.-The fault appears to lie
with you you make both of
your lives miserable by being so
JEALOUS of the girl. No
she isn't going with any other boy
friend, however she is free to do
so if she desires. If you want to
tie her down to you alone then you
perhaps had better marry her.
L. W. C.-Mother and father
bought a trailer and are planning
on leaving here in a week. They
want me to remain with grand
mother and complete my school
term. Would I be doing wrong to
leave and go some place else?
Ans.-Indeed you would you
silly child. It is necessary for
your mother to get your father to
different climate as soon as pos
sible as you well know. Stay with
your grandparent and complete
your school term and she will
SEND FOR YOU in June. If you
run away =. you will be very very
disappointed as well as regret it a
thousand times.

P. ST. have ambitions to be-
come an aviator and want to know
if you think I could make a sue
cess of such?
Ans.-YOu could yes. And as
you are preparing yourself for
COLLEGE this coming fall now is
the time to take this matter into
consideration. It seems to me that
you have an uncle who is very air
minded talk the matter over
with him and let him advise you.
N. A. MI am in love with a
young lady and I would like to
know whether or not she cares for
me?
Ans.-HOw do you expect her to
when you have not even made her
ACQUAINTANCE. Arrange for
an introduction and then make it
a point to win this girls attentions.
In all probability she will be even
more charming when you know her
than she is at this time.
M. P.-This woman that I &C.
cuse my husband of going with
has he ever been anything to her
Ans.-HOw wrong you have
your husband and this woman pic
tured. Your mind is somewhat
muddled for your husband does
not and never has meant anything
to the party you have in mind
Relieve yourself Of such worries
and you would enjoy life in peace
A. CT can't succeed in moth
ing that do and I wish that you
would tell me my faults?
Ans.-You have never begun
anything that you liked well
enough to put your WHOLE
HEART into. You choose jobs you
dislike and you know that you
aren't going to do them we'll. Make
up your mind the line of work you
wish to follow and you won't have
this trouble again.
G. B.-Why doesn't the gentle
man that I have been going out of
town to see come to my home to
see me?
Ans.-YOu don't give him a
chance. Just as long as you con-
tinue to make these trips to see
him at his home town he will
never visit you. Stay at home for
a few weeks and give him a chance

DOGS CALL FOR help OVER
TELEPHONE SAVES HIS PAL

1t was Sunday. All was quiet and
serene in a certain Detroit, Mich,
poultry and pet store. Two dogs had
been left to have the run of the
place. They were pals and, having
plenty to eat, they were content.
Suddenly, however, one of them, in
romping around, became entangled
in the telephone cord and could not
work himself loose. The telephone
instrument was dragged to the floor,
and slowly but surely the dog was
being strangled to death. In this
emergency the other dog knew
what to do and did it. He summoned
help for his stricken pal over the
very instrument which threatened
his life.
An alert telephone operator in the
Randolph dial office answered the
permanent signal on the switch
board. There was no response, but
she did hear slight whimpering
sound, so she summoned Mrs. Violet
Porter, who was in charge. Mrs.
Porter notified the police, who re-
ported back that there was no cause
for alarm, only dog barking in the
store. However, Mrs. Porter was not
entirely satisfied with this report.
She located the owner of the store
and gave the information which re.
suited in saving the dogs life.

Hello, Folks:

Hello, Folks:
Do you feel as gay and spring.
fled these cloudy, cool days as you
did last week? Sunday night was
a good evening for romances &C
cording to one eavesdropper, who
strolled into a certain tavern in st.
Paul and heard in an adjacent booth
the following: He: "You are too
beautiful for words. Will you
give up r. and go steady with
me?" She: ~ bet you say that
to all the girls; anyway, you are
not the kind of a boy for a girl
like me-" She is a dear, though
somewhat beefy, and he, well, he
could be called Lanky.' I'm sorry
they didn't fix it up just to make a
proper balance. So, don't breathe
this to a soul and when you do,
don't mention me It takes
personality and tact to succeed and
I'm afraid that boy who is trying
so desperately to make his grade
out at the 'U' will need to stop
carrying the chip. Savvy? t.
Who is BIS current Dream Boy
these days?
Sal didn't get to make the dance
at the Coliseum Monday night, but
JUS the same here's a bird's-eye
view of the affair. q. First of all,
of course, you know Fletcher Hen
derson, the well known maestro,
and his orchestra was the big at
traction of the evening. I heard
everyone and his sixteenth cousin
attended. The ever popular
JUNE HAWKINS was there look
ing as stylish as usual. (Her es-
cort-well you know EARL was
somewhere in her vicinity.) ..
LOTTIE YOUNG was gowned in
blue satin. HARRIET WILL
LIAMS attractively gowned in
pink satin. The THELMA
SAYLES -BOOTELY BROW
"twins" were very much engrossed
in-well of course each other, but
think little more engrossed in
what Fletcher and the boys were
doing. Among the prominents
amidst the crowd: C.. w. WASH
TNGTONS, LIE ROY WILLIAMS
and the DIR. CRUMPS. DON
BONAPARTE and BENETA ED
WARDS had that sorta Glove
touched" look on their faces. Ut
wasn't told to me I only heard)
-. DWIGHT REED brought
GUSSIE FIELDS to the dance :.
FANNIE BUTLER came with
er-er ED HATTON When
Fletcher played "Christopher Co.
lumbus" Ooh! that mellow, mellow
song) they say everyone broke
down and went to town. PEG
TURPIN and LIE ROY LAZEN-
BERRY were content sitting in a
corner with each other) JUS look
in around. SHIRLEY HAIR
RIS and CHUBBY BRADY, I
know, had a ball, cause they enjoy
themselves anyway, and with such
music, umph, guess they had a
colossal ball. What were BILL
PENN and NORMA STOKES so
busy talking about? ELIZA
BETH SHUCK was there having
her usual good time. . Fletcher
ended the dance by playing a COM
bined melody of Christopher Co.
lumbus and Home Sweet Home.
Then they all went home, having
danced to their hearts content and
talked about everyone present.
And, as Pascal once said eff every
body knew what one says of them,
there would not be four friends
left in the world"
So, folks, I must be dashing
along and until next week don't |
forget
