summer when the House passed a bill.

up IN the Senate Civil Service Committee.
Along with the post offices, the internal
revenue service Of the Treasury and various
activities of the Justice Department like

Just what price the American people pay
for the dubious privilege Of being burdened
with patronage is matter for conjecture,
but single instance is worth considering.
Several years ago a joint congressional
committee on taxation said millions of
dollars would be saved annually through
added efficiency if deputy collectors of in
ternal revenue were removed from the field
OF politics. Nothing was done about it,
however, and there they remain. Their
history, incidentally, is typical of that of
other groups Twice they have been put
under civil service, and twice succeeding
administrations have taken them out.
Grover Cleveland first classified these en-
ployes; President Mckinley "unblanketed"
them. Theodore Roosevelt restored them
to the civil service rolls, and then the first
Congress in the Wilson administration re-
versed that action.
Breeds Needless Jobs,
Another fault Of the spoils system is
the number Of unnecessary jobs it in
variably breeds. Representative Rams
peck, Democrat, Of Georgia, chairman Of
the House Civil Service Committee and q
foremost civil service advocate, tells story
that is illustrative and Illuminating.
A $4,000 position was to be abolished In
one Of the new agencies because there were
no further duties for the incumbent. The
incumbent. however, was not bothered. He
went to the Hill and at last accounts
still had the Job.
In another instance a member of Con-
gress sought place for constituent, and
after q reasonable time was informed that
one was available, but paid only $500.
The Congressman demurred, explaining he
believed the applicant was worth more.

WORKERS BRAVE
COLD and SNOW
TO HELP CHEST
Drive for Funds Sped
By 100000 Deficit

Faced with q deficit Of nearly
100000 in this years Community
Chest campaign goal, more thar
1000 volunteer workers braved the
cold and Sleet of Thanksgiving
Day in an effort to raise at least
Q part of the shortage.
While it was impossible to esti
mate the amount gathered yester
day because the chest office waS
closed, many Of the workers said
the Sleet and snow were a break
for them since many delinquent
contributors, who ordinarily would
have been visiting friends, were
found at home.
EXPECT LANDSLIDE
"There are more than 10000
contributors to past campaigns"
Herbert J. Willett, jr., Chest di-
rector, said, whose reports
haven't come in yet. We expect
the usual last minute landslide of
contributions"
Although the drive ended "of-
ficially" Wednesday, solicitation
of pledges will continue through
the end of the month. Chest Of
ficials are confident that these
late gifts will put the Chest over
the top.
PRAISES WORKERS
Willett had nothing but praise
for the work of the various unit
leaders and their individual So
hcitors.

campaign" he said, twas the rails
ing Of the average amount of the
gifts, and this is an encouraging
sign. Everyone in Washington
knows by now that his or her
gift is not a gift of money, but
a gift of human help to relieve
human need.
The responsibility of this cam
paign is with the giving public of
Washington, not with the loyal
and hardworking volunteers who
have sacrificed so much time and
effort to this cause Of helping the
underprivileged.
PLENTY TO DO
zach unit is going ahead with
its job and the workers will have
plenty to do yet. They know that
there are many groups that have
not yet gone over the top. We ex-
pect further contributors from

In a movement so supple it almost
evaded the eye the girl rose from
the couch and drifted swiftly toward
the shadowy door through which the
Marques had made his exit. Curtis
sprang erect. one hand outstretched.

was gone.
AudreyS angry eyes stared AFTER
Joan's disappearing figure and then
absorbed the peculiar privacy of the
little room. "A governess. perhaps"
she said, 'Or one of the maids"
Curtis looked at her, a quizzical
twist on his lips. "It's the first time
I've known your brains to 60 back on

You're wrong" said the girl. HE
must like you tremendously. If he
didn't he would have told you to get
out instead of going himself"
That's it," said Curtis. That's
what can't figure - why he went"
"On account of me. " explained Joan
with an enhancing little laugh. "His
mother married at sixteen. I'm twenty

Curtis did not bother to voice any
banal reinsurance. What were you

mine live in a fairy world. a possible

HAS it a gate?" asked Curtis.
"A thousand gates - all wide
open"
''Show me the road to one. just one"
She looked straight at him and
their eyes met almost with the force
of collision. Abruptly they became
conscious of each other as included
within magic circle. Whatever either
might say the other would understand,
not through any subtlety of the brain.

at the hotel. Audrey was not there. For
half-an-hour he paced up and down
the sitting room of the suite, his anger
slowly rising.
What's happened. Curtis?" asked
Mrs. Randolph. What happened be-
tween you and Audrey?"
"She went into huff because she
found me talking to girl"
Curtis. you'd better take time

gravely. you're young, you have
brains and plenty of money. That's
nothing, lots of men of your age can
say as much. But you have something
else - the chance for distinguished
future of which Audrey happens to be
an essential part Look out you don't
wreck it."
She left him to 60 to bed, and he
retired to the lobby to wait for
Audrey. When he had sat there for
two hours she appeared, accompanied
by Won Marbeck, said good night and
swept by without noticing him.
Curtis took a taxi to his fat and
went to bed, but could not sleep.
Thoughts of Felderman and that
amazingly sympathetic young girl.
Joan, absorbed him. How was he
going to establish immediate contact
with Felderman? Did Joan live in
Marchamps House? If 50, in what
capacity? As between a Secretary of
Embassy and the butler of a semi
regal establishment, what was the
formula for ascertaining the identity
of one guest out of a thousand when
you knew only her first name?

IT'S little or no exaggeration to say
i that if there were no life insurance
agents, relatively few people would
own life insurance.
Many thousands more Of the
women who are widowed and the
children who are left fatherless, would
be pitifully unprovided for, were it
not for life insurance agents.
For it is a fact that, although life
insurance is the surest way in which
the average man can provide an i'm
mediate estate for his family, life in
surance is not bongh-it is sold. Only
rarely does the man eligible for life
insurance make the first move toward
Evening star., 1938-05-15

getting that insurance.
And this is understandable. 1t is
human nature to expect to live full
and normal lifetime. 1t is natural to
expect catastrophe to happen to the
other fellow, and not to ones self. 1t
is only human for man to have faith
in his future, and to put off providing
for that future.
Unfortunately, the best doesn't
always happen. That is why it is for
tunate for the average man, and for
his wife and children, that there are
such people as life insurance agents.
Your agent does you a valuable serv-

already he was too late; the leonine
head had turned.
"Hi!' exclaimed Curtis. "All alone?"
A thunderbolt clouded the Jovian
brow, but no sooner did the steely
blue eyes discern the identity of the
intruder than their corners crinkled
and look of outrage turned into a
twinkle. well. we'll, WE'LL" rumbled
his lordship. Genius. my boy. No
body but you could have picked the
one person out of that bovine herd
I'm glad to see Come in. Come here"
Curtis stepped forward and stopped
with a second gasp Stretched at full
length within the deep recesses of the
couch lay a girl Her head was tilted
upward against its padded arm, but
her feet merely pointed toward the
other end. She wore party frock of
black chiffon, its soft severity relieved
only by the lovely contours of her
bare shoulders and the gleam of her
silver slippers. In her eyes was neither
surprise nor fright nor curiosity. only
look of frank acceptance. Her hands
lay comfortably across her diminutive
stomach. She did not move.
"Joan." rumbled the Marques,

snapper could save my life. one hand

man, heaving himself to his feet.

at the girl. looking down even at

and he began to edge away. Saved

it. Be nice to him. JOAN"
Coincidentally with the last word
he opened a deeply recessed inner door
and disappeared. Curtis was at loss
what to do. Had he offended? The
suspicion stole upon him that he
had been rebuked with overwhelming
courtesy. His foot drew back in an
aso.:v of doubt, preparing for fight.
The girl did not move, but she spoke.
Don't co." she said. sit down."
He was scarcely conscious of moving
forward and sinking on the arm OF
the chair the Marques had occupied.
Something had happened to him. He
didn't know what and didn't care, for
