It goes without saying that the agreement of the conservative Republican members of the finance board to the unan- imous vote (excepting poor MT. Rowland directing the controller to refrain from further smearing of his office affairs in the Re- publican papers, indicates the disgust Staid citizens must have with the entire affair.
 Grandstand Play
 If I were the corporation coun- Sel would look at the sections of the charter which pertain to duties of the controller where he might find very definite des- cription of what the Board of Fi- nance and the Mayor have as power over the controller. Then, would tell MT. Rowland: Look here, my friend. You don't have to take on the advice of MT. Up- son and the publicity staff at your assignment for this partic- ular grandstand play of trying to put me in the middle.
 You, I feel sure, can read as well as the next citizen the stat utes of your state and you, as well as your advisors, can rest assured my office is not com pletely befuddled by your requests for opinions which will make headlines for your staff writers.
 Public Not Fooled
 Tt is my duty as a public of- ficer to accede to your demands, MT. Controller. You may continue to use my office, during working hours, as an adjunct to your pub licity propaganda, so far as the province of the statutes allow you this recourse. But, and I speak with real feeling. you are not fooling the other citizens who can read between the lines by this attempt at the spectacular, this program of the grandstand play, from Evers to Tinker to Chance, by pseudonyms, MT. Controller"
 That's what I would tell MT. Rowland if I were the corpora tion counsel which, thanks be, I'm not. That last, for the reason that I'm not sure I would be so patient with this obvious move ment to put me in the middle for publicity purposes. I'd probably reach the point where I'd saw off 8 limb or two from the attackers.

Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, though not

delight this cabinet hostess than to
have visitors at the Childrens' Hospital

ton each and every little tot is given.
She. herself is q frequent visitor there,
bringing Joy and happiness into the
lives Of hundreds of little sick children.
Marked Enthusiasm Shown
BY Leading Women Of City.
Never before in the II years history
of the Community Chest has such
notable and interested group of
women worked with such enthusiasm
as this big group comprising the Chest
League. To name few more of the
women who more than do their bit for
the Chest are Mrs. G. Rowland Chase,
chairman of the Open House Tours;
Mrs. William j. Flather. jr., president
of the Board of Lady Visitors of Chill
dren's Hospital, whose husband is
chairman of the campaign; Mrs. Will
son Lee, Miss Anne Carter Greene,
Mrs. Anson Phelps Stokes member
of Mrs. Harlan Fiske Stones Educa-

hibition Hall, and Miss TNizabeth
Houghton who, with her Photographic
corps, has been kept on the jump

The interest and long hours Of work
by the women who comprise the Com
munity Chest League will, without

major factors in the success of the

DEFYINc DEATH FOR A HOBBY

As we came nearer, the female eagle

give the famous eagle scream.

his climbing irons. noticed scar on
his forehead. Last year fish eagle had
struck and half stunned him. nearly
knocking him out of the tree. A blow
like that might mean life or death
while clinging to the side Of tree
eighty feet above the ground.
But if Harry felt any fear he did
not show it. Throwing short coil of
rope over his shoulder. he started up.
Three times he had to stop for rest
in that long ascent Once his irons tore
through the wood and he hung for a
horrible fraction of second by his
hands to the rough bark while my

against his chest. pried open the claws.
Blood was dripping from his wrist but
he finished banding the birds and then

details in which an employer is in
terested are those which indicate that
the applicant is qualified for the posi-
tion she seeks. Attractiveness that
suggests good temper, tact and CO.
operation. a responding personality is
what an employer hopes to find.
So much for the job-hnding prob
lem, and now a few words about the
equally important problem OF making
friends - especially men friends. This
is not an easy problem.
Whether young woman meets nice
men in business depends on where and
at what she works In very big Office
she has the best chance In little
Office she may never see anything but
her own typewriter from weeks begin
ming to week end. Therefore, the only
chance to meet nice men is either at
the social activities of the church she
IONS, or at the entertainments given
in the club where she lives
1t must be acknowledged that the
chance of meeting the right man is a
long one One whom she thinks very
attractive is almost certain to be the
guest of young woman. who has no
idea of sharing him with any other
young woman. The stranger has to
bide her time until an unattached, and
ikable, strange man comes to the club.
In time he usually does - at least
every attractive young woman seems
to find suitable boy friends in time.
A good opportunity to meet the
right kind OF men is found by joining
sports club. and going on the skating
and skiing expeditions SO popular to-
day. Partner or no partner. the girl
who skis or skates can have wonder
full time. Moreover. the very fact that
she is having wonderful time by her
self makes every man want to join her.
And this self-sufficiency, which keeps
a girl from clinging to any man who
comes along, should be put at the very
top of man-attracting assets!
