The Lodge Amendment,

The Junior Senator from Massachu-
sets. Henry Cabot Lodge, jr, gave the
administration forces . bad half hour
yesterday, when he rallied forty Senators
to vote with him to send the housing bill
back to conference. Only by two votes
did the administration squeak through.
The conference report was adopted minus
the Lodge prevailing wage" amendment,
an amendment which the administration
resisted vigorously on the ground that
1t would have ham-strung the housing
operations 1t is seeking 70 foster. To
accomplish this victory, the administra-
ton had to win over many Senators who
originally voted for the amendment when
the bill was before the senate-among
them such friends of labor as Wagner
Of New York.
The arguments advanced by Mr.. Lodge
for his amendment were persuasive. He
asked, for example, why a private in
dividual or contractor, building . house
at his own risk, should be. required to
pay the prevailing wages, but a contrac-
tor operating with = Government
insured loan be permitted to chisel and
pay wages below the prevailing ratef
It was . tough question for the admin

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEWELL.

Young persons, especially. are very
positive in their likes and dislikes.
The finest disc performance Is ruined
for them when the player Of the French
horn slips on one note.
"Horrible!" they clamor, consigning
entire performance to the discard.
The truth is far otherwise. The work
has been excellently played snd re-
corded, except for that one slip, small
enough in the total.
They should overlook % best they may
what they do not like, and concentrate
on what they do.
There Is poetry in music, there are pic
lures in music. there are patterns in
music, rs DR.. Hans Kinder will demon
strate this month In his "Children's Con-
certs for Adults" with the aid of his
National Symphony Orchestra.
These are the things we should look
for in all music, wherever and however
given to US.
This is particularly true in home con-
certs.
The difficulty Of playing togetherI
Those who have tried it, in duo, or
trio. or quartet, with any arrangement
of instruments, are all the more able to
appreciate the wonder of a great or
chestra.
Often amateur musicians, in their
heated efforts to play together, get very
angry at each other before they are
through.
That. too, is a mighty good way to
miss the spirit of music.
Even the worst performances have

ers keep we'll in mind the patterns, the
pictures and the poetry in music.

Not all OF us will be able to get either
thrill or surge OF feeling out of music
except on occasion. These are reserved
for persons OF rare emotional nature
But there will be plenty of real musical
experience for even the most phlegmatic
listener. provided he tries to get at the
heart of what he is hearing and does
not linger over the surface flaws.
There can be little doubt that even
the concerts of some OF the greatest
masters are ruined for a certain type of
concert-goer. Such an unfortunate per-
son is always afraid that the master
violinist. for instance, will make a mis-
take! If the poor fellow does the listener
will talk about it for the rest OF his life.
A far better attitude Is that of the
honest listener who does not know "one
note from another" as he says. and is
utterly unable to tell when the violinist
hits the wrong note, or does not hit any
at ALL as sometimes happens, especially
in playing harmonics.
Such listener will have the happy
experience of listening gladly and with
open heart and mind
Such listening is the essence Of home
music The group around the piano
was one of the finest things of American
life in the days now too generally and
thoughtlessly sneered at; the modern
group around the modern gramophone or
the modern little piano perhaps has an
opportunity to build back the American
that was, and, let us hope, still is.

the men and women On the Government

the men ana women On the Government
pay roll.
The bill would divide Government
workers included within its scope into
two classes, one group to work seven
hours 4 day and the other eight hours
day, with both classes working four
hours on Saturdays. Heads Of depart
ments would be allowed to work em-
ployes in excess Of these hours when
necessary, but for such overtime they
would be paid one and half times their
regular hourly pay or be given compen-
satory leave Of absence.
For some time there has prevailed an
impression that Government Jobs are
sinecures and that their holders are
advantageously placed as compared with
employees in other lines Of work. In some
cases, perhaps in a good many. that is
true, but there are also a substantial
number of Federal workers for whom
overtime is the rule rather than the
exception. 1t is this class that Senator
Logan hopes to place on footing of
equality with workers in other lines of
endeavor.

Government Overtime.

The bill by Senator Logan to COM
pensate Government employees for over
time work Is designed to rectify q situa-
ton that has cast shadow of suspicion
on the New Deals labor policy. There
has been . curious inconsistency, to say
the least, in this administration.
avowed determination to aid industrial
and business workers in securing for them
q maximum work week with compensa-
ton for overtime, while denying this
benefit to its own employees.
The administration has taken the
position that strikes on the part of
Government workers cannot be tolerated.
That policy IL - be commended, but at
the same time it leaves employees of the
Government with no recourse except that
which can be supplied through remedial
action by Congress. Such action is con-
templated in Senator Logans bill, the
effect Of which would be to extend the
basic philosophy Of the Wagner Act to

well understood what q howl would 20

self alone. should undertake to cut wages
below the prevailing rate.
The Lodge amendment to the housing
bill has given the administration an un-
comfortable feeling for several weeks,
1t was written into the bill by the
Senate with vote Of 81 to II. How to
get 1t out was the administrations prob
lem. Probably not the last has been
heard Of the amendment. At any rate,
Mr.. Lodge has received many supporting
messages from labor unions for the
proposal.
The administration forces made much
OF the fact that Senator Lodge was op-
posed to the whole housing bill. But, al
he pointed out, If questionable legisla-
tion Is to be written into law, even an
opponent should seek to improve it.
That. he maintained, was what he had
sought to do with his prevailing wage
amendment.
There are those who believe with Sem
ator Lodge that the housing bill which
looks to Government guaranteed loans
for housing up to about three billion dol
lars, IS clear invasion by the Govern.
ment Of private business. 1t involves,
for example, the 100000 members of
building and loan associations, the hold
ers OF life insurance policies, the deposi-
tors in savings banks-whose savings will
meet the competition of the Government
insured loans for building loans, even
though they may be made through
private agencies.
There is belief. too, that the OPERA
tions may tend to demorali2e the real
estate market-which also affects the
owners OF homes already built. The
housing program is put forward as an
aid to prosperity and improved business
conditions. But, as pointed out by Sena-
tor Lodge, building boom follows, and
does not cause, business boom, There
are many homes for sale today in this
country on an attractive financing basis
which cannot now be sold.

Dear Sir:
II couldn't refrain from writing to

to lovely piece OF music.
"From your writings know you love
music, so you will understand my re-
mark, that especially when listening to
organ music I experience great ecstacy.

call music In some motion pictures. which
makes one cringe, I, for one young per-
son, love those pieces which make you

the heavens.
Many thanks, and I will appreciate
any more you may give us.
Il studied only five years. so my knowl-
edge is limited, but 1t Is pleasure for
my own and my mothers enjoyment.

The above letter gives this column the
opportunity to say that it believes no
phonograph or radio. however good, can
take the place OF home music, sincerely
played.
Whether home performers stumble or
not makes little difference.
The music is the thing
The small family music circle, II 1t
contains no more than pianist, Is be-
loved OF the musical gods and immortals
Fritz Kreisler's father, a doctor, met
weekly with three friends to play cham
ber music.
We know a small family in one of the
States, wherein the best music has been
played by its members since the children
were very small.
No radio is allowed there.
A phonograph. with the best records,
notably Of symphonies. is the only other
music maker they have.
Theirs is a real musical family. It
may be that the music they create would
not pack any concert hall, but that is
not the point.
The point is that it is their music.
Ones own music!
Viewed from this standpoint, any music
sincerely and honestly interpreted is the
best music.
Most listeners spend so much time
listening for faults and flaws in perform
ances that they miss the spirit, the soul,
of what they hear.
This is particularly true Of recorded
music and its listeners.

changing story.
Girls alter their features as they
do their clothes-with the aid OF
diets, mysterious gadgets, hair styl-
lists, makeup experts and Jealous
salespeople. We remember the Joan
Crawford shingle, the "It" bob, the
Garbo hair-do, the Hepburn hollow
cheeks and the Dietrich eyebrows,
which weren't really eyebrows at all,
but carefully-drawn lines that gave
a girl q perpetually surprised ex-
preston.
Albums and school ANIMALS of yes
teryear also illustrate the changing
styles. When a book Of old pictures
is pulled out, accompanied by low
means from the maids present whose
pictures are in the book, it isn't only
the clothes that seem strange. It's
the faces, too, because women didn't
have any foreheads then-at least
you couldn't see them for hair. And
those pale lips, and those bushy eye
broWs!
Then rigid marcel waves dipped
down on foreheads, and ears were
carefully concealed. Or hark back
to the'days Of yore when fashionable
maids framed heart shaped faces In
bushel-basket pompadours carefully
constructed through the use Of
rats" And, recently, there was an
epidemic of page-boy bobs, as droopy
and silky as spaniels' ears-ard a
great boon to the girl with little time
to wash her neck.
Now we have with us the noun
tain-top hair-do hair drawn into
tight curls on top Of milady's era
mum In a curly birds nest, with ears
flung to the breeze. A gal looks as
though she were ready to step into
a bathtub.
And look what a girl armed with
lipstick can do to her mouth!
Once she carefully painted q luscious
cupid's bow upon it. That vogue,
and others, passed. At the moment
the fashionable lip-line is a long,
vivid curve. sleek and streamhned.
Compilations are variable, too. The
Gibson girl was fair as a lily-and
just as exciting. In her brief day
freckles were something to moan
and weep over, and only farm girls
were unashamedly tanned. Now
freckles are beauty spots, and some
maids rival the Indians with the
FURNISHED color Of their skin.
COME take the current fashions,
facial and otherwise, much too
seriously. Some maids pound and
paint themselves into what Dame
