TREASURY BUSINESS
SHOWS BIG GROWTH
Auditor Settles 28,4Sl Ac-
counts, Totaling Huge Sum
of So, 4O2, 1923, 243.2I.

The best proof that the business OF
| Ire Treasury Department is growing all
the time is shown in the annual report
/ OF the Auditor for the Treasury just
submitted TO Secretary COrteiyou.
The total accounts received BY the
auditor for settlement for the fiscal
year OF 1908 numbered 2S,4S1. Unsettled
accounts on hand at the beginning OF
this fiscal year numbered 1.51. The
amount Of money represented in the
settlement Of the accounts reached the
enormous sum OF S.. 402. So, 243u. This
does not mean thai the actual money
received and paid cJt by Uncle sam
reached six billion for the receipts and
expenditures were not much more than
one billion II means that the transfer
Of accounts from the several bureaus,
the work involved in the settlement OF
accounts footed up 10 more than six
billion dollars.
The following extract from the audi
tors report viii give an insight into the
work done by the auditors Office, to
gether with a general reminder that
the business Of Uncle Sam is constantly
growing:
The accounts settled in this Office
during the last eleven -eaTs have ag-
gregated $55.013. 49, 90946
These figures represent the business
Of the department since March 4, lsg7.
with the exception Of transactions re
lating to postal revenues.
At first glance this vast sum seems
wholly incredible. IA view Of the fact
IndI the combined receipts and eXpendi-
lures relating to the general fund OF
the Treasury amounted To only SlZl2I-

Women who read articles on economy

mer outfit for an incredibly small sum-
just say impossible
Yet, here is a case that is based on
actual fact. 1t tells how a business
woman secured a smart linen tailored
suit for one dollar.
Her work took her into the depart
ment stores. The knowledge that she
could afford to spend but little on
clothes had taught her to look out for
bargains.
Fortunately. she was able to make
her W clothes. SO one day. when she
found on a remnant table six and a half
yards of linen suiting for So cents she
was not slow in purchasing it.
The color was a soft tar with a quar-
ter-inch stripe of n darker shade; Just
the thing to make a smart street and
office suit.
The coat was cut first from a pattern
which was hip length and single
breasted. The sleeves were long, fin
ished with a fat. turned-baek cuff,
which in turf was finished on the edge
with a bias band three-fourths of an
inch wide, stitched on to the edges.
Stitched bias bands also covered the

These bands also extended around the
hem of the coat. A fiat collar was also
trimmed with a bias fold.
Next the skirt was cut over a seven-
gored model. huttoning up the length
of the left side OF the front gore. A
three-inch hem finished the skirt. The
seams were all welted.

half dozen were needed. making their

Ten cents was spent for sewing silk
and 10 cents for b%uttonhole twist, max
ing the glorious total of exactly one
dollar,
With this trig little costume she wore
a natural colored straw hat with a
broad brim rolling up slightly on the
left side. trimmed with a crown band
of Copenhagen blue ribbon ending with
a full bow.
A white lingerie waist OF batiste,

ness to the costume. To complete the
