Pass AIons the Savings!

DOWNING to popular opinion the two principal national
- associations of labor unions have wisely taken step
in the right direction of suspendng double pay for work
performed holidays and Sundays.
AT the same time in announcing its decision to waive
premium pay on Saturdays and Sundays the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers properly asked

Patriotic employers will not expect retain Windfal

The formula suggested by the union is that the

IN THE course OF a long and
L checkered career. we have
visited many private homes in
various parts of the United
States and we have noticed that
in many of these homes the
table linen. table silver, and
sometimes the china and glass
ware is monogrammed. ( That is
to say, it bears initials worked
out in near designs.
Sometimes we have had occa-
sion to visit the bathrooms and
bedrooms of these homes and
have observed that the towels
face and bath-and the bed
linen are similarly initiated. Not
infrequently we have seen ini-
tials on picture frames and ash
trays and lighters, and even on
some of the furniture.
We do not mention this cir
cumstance in critical mood to-
ward the initiating itself. A
monogram may be decorative as
well as useful as evidence Of
ownership. But what we arc
trying to figure out. being in one
of our darkly brooding spells,
is why the initials are invari-
ably those OF the lady OF the
house and never the gentleman.
A S WE understand il. when
"A lady and gentleman set up
housekeeping I'm der conven-
tional auspices. it is partner
ship proposition. $3.50, even
steven, share-and-share alike.
What is his. is hers. and vice
versa. But always the dame
comes up with her initials on
the family junk, with the small
concession TO him of one letter.
For example, if her maiden
name is Frances Sarah TugCs
and his is Robert Jasper Diff
fingham, the linen. etc, is ini-
tailed F. s. D.. not r. J. d..
though he pays for the stuff and
is legally the head of the fam
lily, and generally has any prop
erty deeds that may exist in his
name There can be no argu-
ment as to his Status-thoreti-
cally. he is the boss and should
be consulted on all AFFAIRS of
the house.
-
MOREOVER, the wife is <en-
Ni monty given the use of his
name in its entirety as her own
Mrs. Robert Jasper Diffing-
ham when running up bills, or
registering AT hotels. BY what
right, then. does she tacitly APP
propriate To herself the silver
ware and the bath towels and
especially the bath towels?

Why Should Initials Of Wife
Adorn Household Effects?
BY DAMON RUNYON-

Should she not, in all fairness.
put the poor guys initials on
something?
We were discussing this mat
ter the other evening with
Rufus Lemaire. the former
Broadway theatrical producer.
who has ben out here for some
years in the movie industry, and
he told us that it was something
that had been ranking in his
own bosom a long time.
He pointed out that all the
dolls are in cahootS on the thing
from the moment an engage
nent 10 marry is proclaimed,
because the presents sent the
bride are always marked with
her own initials
DUFUS said he thought It
IA might be that a lady al
ways had the idea in the back of
her mind that maybe the mar
riagc might not turn out good
and that in case Of a Spllt-up,
the initials somehow established
her right TO possession of the
stuff.
He said II was also likely
that a lady even contemplated
the possibility Of a second mar
riaCe in which case a little ex-
pert ncedlework could convert
the last initial of the original
monogram into another letter.
This seemed TO be mighty sound
reasoning.
We never heard Of a lady ask
ing her husbands permission to
spread her initials over the
household paraphernalia. We
imagine most husbands would
give the permission gladly. espe-
cially in the first transports of
matrimonial happiness and be-
fore they had time to fully con-
slider the selfish import Of the
markings. but the lady never
asks. She just goes ahead and
has II done.
If we were advising a young
gentleman on marriage. we
would have 10 tell him that he
ought TO have a conference with
the object Of his affections prior
10 the welding of the bonds, and
reach an understanding with her
that If anything was 10 be initi-
aled, his brand would come first.

the feeling on entering the bath
room that he was in a strange

WHY are such articles written

Our service men need arms,
but many hundreds of trained

arc standing idle.
Who is responsible for such
things?
Surely not the men who daily
haunt employment Offices of
factories and machine shops in
hopes of jobs, only to be told:
I'VE are not permitted Ia hire
you because YOU are still on the

to other firms which do need
them?
We American workers are
tired of being blamed for slow
production.
Try placing the blame where
il belongs on big company en-
ployers and government officials
who permit such outrages.
The Jap cvaCuees are paid
better wages in our country
than many of our own trained

relief because of an inefficiency
which causes them TO be with

The government has only two
important matters TO complain

claims.
The government was caught in
a rather tight situation when
Rome blared forth recently IAN
unconfirmed rumor in South
American shipping circles that
the Queen Mary had been sunk
with 10000 American troops on
board.
The Rome radio did not hear

was. They knew Washington did
not know where she was. and.
therefore, could not deny the

Hospital Shortage
Blamed for Suicide

George M. Carhart, 70, retired
Navy Yard employe who shot and
killed himself yesterday at his home,
800 Ninth street Sc, after his
physician had given up hope Of
finding him a place in Washington S
overcrowded hospitals, will be buried
Monday in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
Suffering from a critical heart
ailment, Mr.. Carhart, who lived
alone, was found with a bullet
wound in his head by his 13-year-
old grandson who had stopped by
on his way to school to see if he
could comfort his grandfather.
The boy, Malcolm Carhart. 819
B street Sc, rushed to the physi-
clan, DR.. Thomas j. Rossiter, 800
D street Sc, who pronounced Mr..
Carhart dead.
DR.. Rossiter said he had first
treated Mr.. Carhart on Thursday
and that his condition was such he
required immediate disqualification.
II phoned every hospital in town
except Gallinger that night, but
there wasn't a bed left" he said.
He explained that he did not con-
tact Gallinger Hospital because it
generally took several days to OBJ
tain admission there.
The physician said he felt that If
Mr.. Carhart had had proper care
in hospital his life would have
been prolonged. The coroner issued
a certificate of suicide after police
reported they found a .38-caliber
revolver by Mr.. Carhart's side.
