Credit the Individual Both the nature and extent of industrial recovery are indicated by three different bits of news, all given to the public Friday. In one a leader in the automotive industry asserts that it already has enough orders for new cars on hand to keep wheels turning at a capacity rate all winter. In another, the American Iron and Steel Institute reports that total payrolls and aver- age weekly earnings of employes in the steel industry during September were 50 per cent higher than in September a year ago. Also wages were slightly higher, 65.4 cents an hour as compared with 64 cents in September, 1934. The third is an analysis by a northwestern {nsurance company of the car-buying habits of the American people, the thing on which all of the automobile and much of the steel recovery is based. It shows that people are not only puying more cars but that they are paying for them, instalment delinquencies having been relatively light. Thus the whole upward surge comes back to the average individual. He either has gained more confidence or else has just grown tired of being afraid. Whatever the cause, more people are at work and more money is in circu- lation—and is criculating faster—as a result of the change in the business and industrial trend. Cheapening Patriotism Down in Massachusetts, young Charles Newcomb has deen expelled from high school because he will not com- ply with a new state law and take the oath of allegiance to the American flag once each week. The case draws extra notoriety because the boy traces his ancestry back t. Betsy Ross, who is said to have made the first Amer- fean flag and because his mother is a past president of an American Legion Auxiliary unit. It is too bad that the objection to the weekly oath, fm this case, was that it violated the youth’s religious principles, just how the news dispatches do not say. For such a law makes a mockery of sincere patriotism. Someone should oppose it on the ground that it cheapens| the sentiment which has caused thousands to lay down their lives for their country. It is a mockery of the spirit which brought the nation into being. One suspects that such laws emanate in the minds 0< the 100 per centers, those sterling patriots who made flaming speeches during the late war—but stayed very comfortably at home; the men who stood on the curb as the troops marched away and adjured the “doughboys” to “remember that we are behind you,” then went off to profiteer as much as possible. True patriotism is hardly ever worn on the sleeve. It 1s something of which to be proud but not a sentiment to be called up by rote every Tuesday. It is a thing which lights the inner being and spurs people to decent daily living in ordinary times and to deeds of valor in emerg- encies. And it can hardly be called into being by weekly rep- etition of an oath in the schools, for familiarity breeds contempt and there is the danger of making a mockery of patriotism, For that reason, someone should oppose such a law on purely patriotic grounds, just as true patriotism is fepelled by the thought of compelling a Communist or other non-patriot to kiss the flag. The national emblem fleserves better treatment than that. ‘The legislature of Massachusetts is Hable to have the game experience as that which frequently comes to the ‘woman who insists that her husband tell her every morning that he loves her. A Scientist Is Alarmed Once again we are urged to worry because the intel- ligent citizens are having fewer babies than the unintel- igent ones. This time it is a noted psychologist who eounds the alarm. “There was a time,” he declares in Kansas City, 4 “when the lawyers, artists and musicians produced more ! e-ildren than the teamsters and farmers. That time has passed. Our cities are decaying. They are being main- ; teined not by the tirth cf children from intelligent fam- ‘filies, eenters.’ With all due respect to the scientist, it must be stated '® bad thing or a good thing.. ° “nt by the flocking of country families to urban |r fr that this statement sounds a hit thin.

Just between us girls, only three of the nine justices are using their swell-elegant office suites in the court’s new $11,000,000 temple. These are very grand suites of three enormous rooms each, with black marble fireplaces and trimmings of surpassing richness. But six of them standin magnificent emptiness. The justices who moved into these places are Hughes, Roberts, and Sutherland. The others find it more com- fortable to work at home and come to the building only when the court is sitting. They always did. Even their secretaries—officially known as “law clerks”—don’t come to the new offices. Says Frank K. Green, marshal of the court, rather wistfully: “Oh, well, when we get some new justices, they'll probably move into those suites.” And Justice Harlan F. Stone has been heard to mut- ter vaguely about moving his office from his home some time soon. Despite their emptiness and their value as spectacles, the vacant suites are barred to the sightseeing public. They are in the back half of the building, which is barred off by huge grilled gates. eee APPETITES ARE BIRD LIKE Stone is about the only justice who can eat more than a lettuce leaf for lunch, which means that much of the elaborate kitchen and dining-room space goes to waste. Some of the justices bring their lunch from home, have coffee heated for them, and consume the contents of the lunch-boxes in the private dining-room. Others have meager items of food sent up from the cafeteria. ‘Thus far no use has been found for the vast confer- ence rooms with their ornate panelings and rugs which must be measured by acreage rather than footage. The guide tells you they are for “international conferences.” They are outside the judges’ quarters. . . . (If you were |@ kid again, doubtless you'd think the greatest waste of all was the wide plazas and sidewalks around the block, decorated with chaste signs saying, “No Roller Skating”.) Downtown, New Deal agencies are hysterical in de- mands for more space, taking over hotels, apartment houses, mansions, auditoriums, and so on. Thus far none has had the nerve to try to chisel in on supreme court space. eee LIKE THEIR ISOLATION The justices are more than ever isolated from the public. They like it. No longer may one stand gaping and watch them parade from robing room to court chamber or loiter on the sidewalks to see them pile into their cars. (It must be quite a sight, for instance, to see Roberts come striding out—corncob pipe jutting from his mouth, derby jammed down over his ears, and wearing a shirt patterned after a criss-crossed rainbow.) Now they're driven into a private basement garage and ascend in private elevators to their barred-off sec- tion. A newspaper photographer can’t get within a half mile of them; the justices insist on keeping their status as the only men in the United States not subject to camera barrages. Nobody knows what would happen to a photographer who sneaked a picture in the courtroom. -But it prob- ably would be something pretty awful and no one dares ry. au eee THREE WITHOUT CUSHIONS | Six justices sit in the comfortable, well-padded chairs brought from the old courtroom. Roberts, Mc- Reynolds, and Sutherland use their same old uncush- joned, relatively uncomfortable ones. (They inherited them from their predecessors on the bench and never asked for a change.) New chairs are being designed, after some argu- ment as to shape, so they'll all be alike. eee HELP! MORE CHARWOMEN Marshal Green, who always wears a frock coat, says his biggest problem is to keep the white marble corridor floors clean. The justices allow enough money for only 40 charwomen and Green says it would take about 30 just to give the five-story spiral staircase a good cleaning every day. If the justices could only get out to the front half of the building and see how it is, they might be willing to take on a couple hundred more charwomen, (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.)

We may or may agree thi not with mm, | EnrroRs One Out of Three (Minneapolis Tribune) If the experience of the Minneapolis district is typ- ical, about one out of every three persons assigned to | WPA projects is failing to report for work. In Minne- | apolis, there had been 7,086 assignments up to Monday and 2.630 jobs remained unclaimed. Of the non-claim- ants, it is estimated that 130 had not received notifica- tions because of changes of address, and that perha ness. But approximately 500 of them have protested that they would receive less on WPA assignments than on the city relief rolls, and many of the remaining stay- at-homes object that they have been improperly classi- fied in the common labor group. We agree with M. A. Fitzgerald, WPA district direc- tor, that this is a highly unsatisfactory situation. The transition from direct relief to work relief, which was expected to prove a simple routine matter, has appar- ently developed many complications. The situation which confronts us today is one in which approximately one-third of those assigned to the WPA have indicated, directly or indirectly, that they prefer direct relief to work relief on its present basis. How the blame for this should be apportioned we do not pretend to know, but it will obviously not do to con- demn the whole group of non-reporting workers as shift- less and lazy. It may be easy to understand the reluctance of some to accept work relief in cases where it means an actual sacrifice of income. The phenomenon which Mr. Fitzgerald notes can- not be explained wholly in terms of @ preference for the dole per se. But wherever the responsibility rests, it is painfully clear that the abandonment of direct relief is much easier talked about than accomplished. When one out of three persons who are offered work relief oppor- tunities neglects to take them, something is radically wrong, In so far as @ chronic dislike for work on the part | of some contributes to this situation, the problem | be easily solved, and by the simple process of forcing the | malingerers and work dodgers from the relief rolls. But there are faults and flaws, no doubt, on the administra- tive side of WPA, and these also deserve ‘We've often wondered what baby needs wheh those for the “bones.” . . "Roosevelt Again.” A potential campaign point might be this “hypocritical’ conservation. x OLITICS - at the - “NATION'S CAPITOL fashington—Reports persist around the capital that the coming months will see renewed efforts in congress and high administration circles to bring the personnel of the many emergency agencies of the New Deal under civil service. ‘There’s even talk among insiders that when “Big Jim” Farley steps out as postmaster general to take personal direction of the campaign to re-elect President Roosevelt, he will be succeeded by a man of no particular political background and experience. There have been hints that a career man in the postal serv- ice may get the appointment. There is legislation pending in congress now which would.give the White House authority to place these emergency agencies under the merit system as soon as practicable. It is estimated that there are approxi- mately 60 of them now functioning, exclusively of the old-line independ- ent offices which long ago became in- tegral parts of the federal establish- ment. Many Délays The task of bringing that many agencies under the civil service is tremendous and beset by all kinds of difficulties. The last report of the commission showed that 770,128 per- sons were required to man these al- phabetical groups and others which make up the executive branch of the government, All sorts of delays are encoun- tered. A short while back, for ex- ample, it was thought NRA and AAA could come under the merit system as quickly as legally possible. At the present, however, despite the fact that NRA has made vast re- trenchments in personnel it still is far from being in permanent form. And AAA, although President Roose- velt has said it is to be made a per- menent part of the government, un- til the supreme court decides on its Qpposition in TVA Then, too, there are organizations such as the Tennessee valley author- ity which steadfastly have resisted civil service control. TVA could be brought under the merit system with ® minimum of delay were it not for the opposition of Arthur E. Morgan, director. Doctor Morgan was given a free hand hy congress in selecting the personnel of TVA. Backed by Sena- tor Norris of Nebraska, a clause was fers his method of selecting TVA employes to that of blindly from a civil service list which might automatically eliminate the very man he wishes to select for an im- portant post. ry Additional Churches | ST.

NOW Go ON WITH THE sTORY CHAPTER VII HEN she got home that eve. ning Jean discovered that her conscience was rather disturbed about that kiss. “What sort of girl do you call|| yourself, anyway?” asked Con- science, indignantly. “The very first time you've been out with a too! And you've alwa: prided yourself on the fact th you didn’t like to be mauled and petted!” : “But wasn’t mauling and Detting,” answered Jean. “It was ——it was just one little kiss. And anyhow, it happened before I knew it was coming.” “Oh, yeah?” said Conscience. “I've heard that before.” “Well, it did” insisted Jean. “And what's the harm? It didn’t mean anything. And he—he didn’t even try to do {t again, or—” “Well, I must say, that’s a very weak sort of defense,” Conscience replied. “It wasn't your fault he didn’t try to do it again.” “It was so! I drew away and I told him—” “Oh, you told him! Since when did that mean anything? And be sides, what would Bobby say?” “Well, Bobby just isn’t going to know. And it isn't-going to happen again, so what's the use of making all this fuss over it?” That wasn't the most satisfac tory reply imaginable, perhaps, but it would have to do. And the feel- ing of guilt that stayed in the back of Jean’s mind made her especially nice to Bobby when he called for her, after dinner, to take her to a movie; and when he told her good night, later, she let him kiss her three times to make up for it, so that that young man went home both pleased and puzzled. Sandy called her up Sunday morning and suggested another ride. She put him off on the ground that she had another en- gagement. He called her up Sunday evening, apparently for no reason except that he wanted to tell her that she was tops, He called her at the office Monday morning and asked if she cou!d have lunch with him; and when’ she caid that she could not’ he tegged her to ding with him thet evening. “Sandy, I can't,” she said. “I'm I'm all tied ‘ap this week.” “Yeah?” sajd Sandy cheerfully. “Baby, you aren't fooling me a-tall You better get yourself untied pret: ty quick, or }'ll come up there and pull you out,by that pretty yellow hatr of yours.

What's the big idea? Don't I wear the right kind of necktie, or have I got spots on my vest, or do I necd a haircut or something? Why can’t I ever have another date with you?” “I didn’t say you never could. My goodness, you're rushing things, aren’t you?” “Why not? I don’t beli in be ing backward, when the prettiest girl in the whole state is floating around loose right under my nose.” “Well, but” she hesitated. “You see, Sandy, I’m not really floating around loose. I'm—I'm really en- gaged.” And she was furious with herself when she found herself add- ine the words, “pract{cally, any. Ow, “Sandy cocked a humorous eye at “Practically engaged, eh? Good Lord, baby. go shead and be en gaged. I'm not going to eat you up. I Just want to pal around with you. No harm in thet, is there?” “No-o-0." The waiter set food before them, and she became very busy with her club sandwich. “But oh, you know how it is.” “Boy friend might get sore!” Sandy grinned. Jean nodded. “Why, he's a nice kid,” said Sandy. “When you going to get married?” “Well. not right away.” sald dean helplessly. “I mean, you sec he's just getting started, and--" “What's he do?” “He's ap auto salesinan., “Who's he with?” “He's with the—oh Sandy, what's the use of questioning me like this? T've gone with him ever since I was in high school. I just don’t think I—I ought to have dates, ’s all.” "Aw, these aren't regular dates I'm asking for. 1 just want to see you sometimes. Wo harm {n that.” But Jean remained adamant, and when the lunch was finished and Sandy had escorted her back to her hope you're satisfied!” Tsar night she went out to din- ner with Bobby. But whereas Conscience, on their last date, had caused her to be especially nice to ‘him, it all seemed to work with re- verse English this time, and she found herself being irritable and disagreeable. As they were finishing their dessert,, Bobby looked at her anxiously. “ the matter tonight, honey?” he asked. ‘‘Aren’t you feeling well?” “T’m all right,” she said. “Just —Just a little tired, or something, I guess.” He looked at her fondly. “You're working too hard,” he ennounced. “Honey, when you going to quit’ that old office and let me take care of you? That's what you need.’ “Please, Bobby,” she said. “Let’s not argue about it tonight, Let’s—let’s go dance somewhere, or something, and not quarrel.’ “Good idea,” said Bobby. “Look show about going back to the Golden Feather again and seeing life in the raw?” She hesitated; and then told herself, “Oh, for pity sakes, what's the matter with you? You probably won’t bump into Sandy there, and if you do, what of it?” Aloud she said, “All right—let’s.” So they went out, got a text, and went to the night club. eee He. hour was early, and there was only a Hindfal of people scattered about in the club, They followed the headwalter to a table along the wall, and as they reached t Bobby glanced fdly at the couple at the nest table, His face lit up with recognition, and Jean beard him say, “Why—hello there.” She looked. There sat Sandy, with a striking-looking gist in an expensive purple frock. Jcan was astonished to discover that ber first emotion, on seeing them, was & small, instinctive stab of jeal- ousy. Sandy got up and beckoned to them. “Look who's here,” he said sally. “Come on and sit with us, Here—" he motioned to the waiter to bring chairs.. “This is Eve Lewis,” he went on, address- ing Jean and Bobby. The girl loked up and smiled in friendly fashion. “Eve, these are—” he suddenly stopped and grinned. ‘Doggoned if I haven't forgotten your names,” he said. Jean instantly thought, “He remem! mine but he's forgot- ten Bobby's, and he doesn’t want Bobby to know.” Bobby was com- Pleting the introduction, as this thought was going through her head, and a moment later all four of them were seated together. The orchestra began to pla; “Will you dance, Miss Lewis?” asked Bobby. She got up. “Okay,” she said, “And by the way, it's Mrs. Lewis.” They glided off on the dance floor.
