ELIMINATION OF EJACULATION
FROM REPORTS URGED.
Superintendent of Documents
Thinks Hundreds of Thousands of
Dollars Could Be Saved.

The superintendent of documents recon-
merds in his annual report to the public
printer that the detailed statement of the
number of publications sold during the
year be eliminated. and that Congress
be asked to change the official require
meHts on the subject. This request. ii
granted. will eliminate ia pages of tabI-
lar statement from the public printer 5
report.
This class of printing is the most ex-
pensive at the government printing office.
If Congress accepts the suggestion and
eliminates similar routine tabular state
ments from annual reports Of heads of
in the saving of several hundred thou
sand dollars.
Supt. Donath makes the point that this
information is carried on the books of
the Office. and that the printed statement
is simply copy. reading of the
printed statement Is not in any way a
safeguard of the public treasury, as an
investigation would necessarily revert to
the original books of the office.
Supt. Doaath falls heir to a legacy or
about 200o.OO0 copies of discarded docu-
ments sent In from libraries. departments
and bureaus and from the document
rooms of the Capitol. A portion was alb
sorbed by interested offices, but a large
sold for junk.
The superintendent is working on an
enlargement of the scheme for attra ting
the general public's attention to the fact
that official publications may he pur-
chased at his office at cost, thereby
eliminating the annual surplusage.
Supt. Donath recommends change in
the printing law which requires that a
copy of all government publications be
sent to designated libraries. Many
smaller libraries are interested in certain
lines of study or research. 1t is not only
a loss of money to send valuable books
that are not wanted, but the shelves of
the depository are numbered with use
Tess volumes which are much in demand
from other sources.
Elimination of the provision restricting
purchases from the documents office 10

Recommendation is made that all mail
ing lists be turned over to the office
Mr.. Donath speaks highly of the or
ganiZation of the documents Office as left
by his predecessor. and has Kind word
for the assistant superintendent and the
employees.

Training School-Marine Bar
racks Given Bill of Health.

The health and sanitary condition of
the Washington navy yard during the
past year were excellent So says the
surgeon general of the navy in a report to
the Secretary OF the Navy.
The average complement was 80 and
the percentage of sick 0.61.
Civil employees in the yard averaged
about 1000 during the year, GOA of whom
were treated for injuries and 145 for sick
ness. and of these 10 per cent were sent
to their homes and per cent to civil hos
pitfalls In ambulance.
The objectionable features of the main
foundry respecting ventilation, TO which

the surgeon general says, Stlli exist. and
1t Is recommended that some steps be

Marine Barracks Healthy.

The health and sanitary conditions at
the marine barracks In this city are re-
ported to have been eminently salts
factory, during the past year. The post
has been singularly exempt from cases of
infection or contagious disease. During
the last half of the year several cases of
malaria occurred. This disease was
practically confined to marines who had
recently returned from Camp Elliott in
the Canal Zone, and was the redevelop-
ment of infections acquired in Panama.
Referring to the work in progress at the
Naval Medical School Hospital, at the
foot of oath street. the surgeon general
says that the reconstruction of roadways
and Improvement of grounds in the hos
pital and Naval Medical School Enclosure
has been deferred until the heavy hauling
over them incident to the new construc
ton is at an end. The provision of a
suitable inclosing wall fence for this
compound is under consideration by the
bureau. Its necessity is apparent, and
he says discipline in both the institutions
in these grounds will be greatly enhanced
by such a provision
The additional buildings now being con
structed i'll the hospital grounds have
necessitated a material extension of the
sewer, lighting and heating systems. and
plans and specifications for this extension
are practically completed.

surgeon general says that while the class
rooms and living quarters for the men are
in themselves healthy and fairly we'll
adapted to the requirements, the lack of
grounds about the building for exercise
and drill is serious drawback.
Moreover" says he, 1.-The close prox-
unity of the streets and dwellings near by
afford opportunities for mischief. which
young men naturally do not overlook. and
thus. often inadvertently, involve them
selves in trouble and bring the uniform
into disrepute. The experience of the past
