Under the caption "Jobs at IS
Years." a recent issue Of the Dis
abled Veterans semimo onthly has
this to say: Veterans seeking en-
ployment and those assisting vet
erans should not be miSled by the
sweeping allegations that there
are no jobs available for men past
40 years old. Such a contention
might appear as a reasonable ex-
cuse for failure, but the statement
does not stand up under investiga.
tion.
"The real facts are quite the
reverse of the often.repeated as
sertion. Taking the census of the
United States as the best guide,
it is found that at the turn Of
the century the group from 40 to
IS years constituted % per cent
Of all those engaged in industrial
employment. Thirty years later
-1930-the percentage for the
same group was IS per cent"
Does the Shoe Fit?
H. G. Wells, famous British i'm
aginative writer, in a current
magazine, says:
'"The Olympian type (the Presi-
dent) assumes a competent Civil
Service but it cannot be troubled
to make one. It takes the world
as it finds it, and so the worst
thing that can be charged against
the Presidents administration is
the continuation Of the Spoils SyS-
tenn in the public services, for
which I am told his close associa-
ton with j. A. Farley is responsible.
You cannot have safe administra-
tors who do not feel safe."

trained as an architect, has special
lied in architectural themes of the
Gothic period, because to him they
represent the highest expression of
beauty. But he would be the last
to lay limitations either of theme

OF being overgenerous, allowing
wide margin for variance of view

The Washington Water Color
Clubs forty-third annual exhibition,
which opened in the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art on December II, and
was reviewed in the news columns
of The Sunday Star a week ago,
is attracting much favorable atten-
ton. A part of this exhibition, but
separately set forth in cases in the
atrium, is collection of rs prints
in various media and drawings
which well deserve special atten-
ton. Printmaking has received i'm
petus in recent years, through the
enthusiasm and dilligent effort of
printmakers such as the late
Joseph Pennell, as we'll as
through that of certain or
ganizations such as the Chicago So
ciety of Etchers and the California
Print Makers, to say nothing of
those like John Tyler Arms, who,
through their works. have demon
strated value. and last, but not least,
the w. P. A., which has provided
employment for aspirants. The va
riety and range of the output is ad-
mirably illustrated in the limited
group now on view. Here are etch-
ings, Autographs, wood cuts. aqua
tints, capably rendered, in manner
very varied. but in skill of handling
not dissimilar.
