RESIGNED
Printer StiIingsLeaves

Under Fire

Washington, D. c., Mar. 17-Public
Printer Chas S. Stillings has tend.
cred his resignation to the president
and it has been accepted
MI. Stilling's successor has not yo
been named. Mr.. Stillings decline,
when seen to discuss the matter for
publication. Mr. Stillings' resigna
ton is the result of an investigation
into the conduct of the government
printing office under his administra.
ton.
This investigation was conducted
by w. S. Rossiter, chief clerk of the
census Office and his report of the
operations of the Office is now in the
hands of the president. Mr.. Rossiter
reports that he found no evidence of
fraud or serious irregularity. He says
however that there haye been minor
Irregularities chargeable in most cas-.
es to bad administration, and that
the method of keeping books are open
to criticism. An apparent deficit
of $56S,399, due largely to unwise out
lay for equipment, extravaganza in
the purchase of supplies and increas,
ed cost of production, is shown for
the current fiscal year.
The report contains also Mr.. Still
l,ngs' reply to it's conclusions. In the
main he sets up the plea that the re-
port is misleading and unjust, and
that had he been permitted to COM
ditions on the lines he had laid down.
the result would have been model
plant frea from things which invited
M Rossiter's condemnation.

Old Aunt Hepsy Garside never had
seen a moving picture show before.
She gazed In speechless wonder at
the magic contrivance by which mes
senger boys were made to move with
breakneck speed. BARRIERS to shave
their customers in less than min
ute and heavy policemen to dash
a,ong the street at a rate never at
tanned by a living specimen either
on or off duty.
1t was all real to her. She could
not doubt the evidence Of her senses
All those things were taking place
exactly as depicted.
Presently an automobile came in
sight In the far background, moving
directly toward the audience at the
rate of at least mile minute.
Just as a catastrophe seemed newt
able it swerved aside, passed on and
disappeared.
Aunt Hepsy could stand it no
longer. Hastily grasping the hand
of her little niece she rose and start
ed swiftly for the door.
i"Come along, Minervy' she SAID.
