SOME SENATORS SCORN KINSMEN SALARY RACKET Borah, Poorest, and Couzens, Richest, Have No Relatives on U. S. Roll. <C®oTrt*bt. I#W. bv United Pres*> WASHINGTON, May s—One senator who formerly had his wife on the pay roll as his secretary admitted that it looked bad, but offered in mitigation the plea that being a senator was quite expensive. This undoubtedly was true in his case, as in several which have been disco v ered 1* the United Press inquiry into the family pay roll racket in congress. Others, however, better are able to bear the financial burden of serving the public—Senator John G. Townsend <Rep., Del.), for instance. His son Paul is his secretary at $.1,900 a year—the top salary. The senator, also a president of the Highway Engineering and Construction Company of Selbyville, Del., which has been doing more i than $200,000 worth of work a year for the District of Columbia government. Last week his company obtained a paving contract for $84,000. The son Paul is vice-president ! of the company and divides his, time between serving the public and his street paving business Passes on Expenditures Th>’ contracts are obtained by competitive bidding, the work appears to be entirely satisfactory, ar.d it is entirely legal for a senator to j be interested in a company doing j government work. It merely was i somewhat of a surprise to discover it, since the senator was listed in his! official biography as "being ac- j tivelv engaged in farming, fruit! growing and banking.” A second son Is secretary of the i paving company. When an effort was made to reach Paul by telephone at the senator's office, he was referred to the paving company plant here. Senator Townsend is chairman of the senate committee on audit and control which passes on aIL senatorial expenditures out of the contingent fund.

Practice Not Universal The widespread extent of the family pay roll racket was indicated in a statement Issued by Representative J. R. Mitchell <Dem., Tenn.) accompanying his bill Introduced earlier this week to prohibit the employment of relatives by senators and congrssmen. However, the practice is not universal, One of the poorest men in the senate, William E. Borah of Idaho, does not indulge in it. Neither does the richest senator, James Couzens (Rep., Mich.), many times a millionaire. He reached into his pocket to pay his crack secretary something approaching what this young man would be able to make in private life. It costs Couzens money to be a senator. His stationery allowance of $125 a year, for instance, does not begin to cover the actual stationery expense. Senatorship Costly to Couzens He has to hire extra clerks at times. And though he is allowed an extra clerk, because he is chairman of the senate interstate commerce committee, he drops one employe during the dull summer recesses. when there is not sufficient work to keep the force busy. Being a senator is expensive for those from large states. Senator Robert Wagner, who represents the huge state of New York, gts exactly the same amount of dork hire and stationery as his fellow Democrat, Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, who represents fewer people than live in Gary, Ind.

BY MARGUERITE CARTER IS today your birthday? If so. you are a splendid friend, but a very undesirable enemy. You have some tendency to cherish grievances, but unless you have been crossed directly, you are apt ; to be pleasant and cheerful. Though you are rather slow to anger, you can be goaded into violent wrath. If you are a man. you are very fond of the good things of life and are not at all unlikely to be violent upon provocation. You are possessed oi great common sense and imagine things to be what they are not. You will surround vourself with evidences of your own prosperity throughout life wherever you can. You have the peculiar quality which is found frequently in natives of your birth sign. That quality is a disposition which makes you a splendid salesman—if the buyer comes to you. If. on the other hand you And it necessary to go to his place of business, particularly if you haven't been sent for, you are out of your element. Therefore, you should pursue an occupation which would not require you to move around too much. The foregoing does not indicate by any means that you could not be successful while moving about a great deal, but merely that you are best suited to stay in one place. a a a To J. V V.—l r m answering your t*r *t thi* point because the man you hT* asked me about possesses characteristic* so exactly opposite thoac of folk whose birthdar come* today. He waa born on Mar 14. Any woman contemplating marriage with a man born under these influence* should make up her mind to be contented to more at least three times a year, for the crass always la greener in the next field—to them. She should keep a suitcase packed for him ait the time, because, if she doesn't he Is very apt to leave town in such a hurry that he will arrls-e at his destination without a clean collar or a toothbrush. Then when he has left and he sends for her. she rhould leave very promptly, because if she doesn't do that she is apt to find him alrrady gone on and awaiting her elsewhere. So. it Is obvious. J. N. V.. that you should be built to enjoy hopping around if you are going to marry him. J. C. D.—You are, in my opinion. best fitted for the writing of advertisements. I realize that would be something new* to you. but you have all the necessary natural qualifications. a a a To A. C. Z.—When the sun is in the sign Cancer, we And a distinct type of leader being born. Mm born in the sign Aries are leaders, but they are pioneers in type and more inclined to be leaders or forlorn hopes and probably militant. Those borne In Cancer, however, usually are of the common people and remain to throughout their lives. That is partlrularly true in the United States and it frequrntlv leads to political occupations. Astrologically. the reason for that is two-fold. First, the sign Cancer is very prominent in the horoscope of the t'nlled States and. second. Cancer la ron'idrred to be the sign which rule* the general public. The Moon is the ruling htavenly body of the sign and. because It is the most rapidly moving influence which reaches us from surrounding space, it makes travelers and those whose work call:; them to foreign shores, usually is government service, if they are naUves of the United Stales and particularly in the navy. Your son's birlh Influences indicate that he is particularly fitted for a political career. a a a A. D.

be thoroughly appreciative when you wear pretty clothes. It also has been said that if a man is going to marry a Libra woman, he will find her gay and companionable, but that he can not make her happy unless he appreciates beautiful things and will cater to her love of them. Certain it is that all Libra people hate criticism. The signs with which natives of that sign can hope to enjoy congeniality in marriage are Sagittarius, Aquarius. Aries, and Gemini. mam TJV H. H. G.—Those whose birthday comes on Jan. 27, are, peculiarly enough, usually far more successful in dealing with women than with men. They can also do better when engaged in mercantile pursuits, handling articles that can be sold for a small amount rather than a larger. They are inclined to have a leaning toward mechanics or hygiene. Asa matter of fact, however, an analysis of your son's birthdate shows that he is likely to be successful in anything he definitely decides is the thing for him to do. *Copyright, IMJi
