ut is idle to win the battle for con
servation of natural resources and
dribble out the gains through the ex-
pense account of governments.
Unfortunately our machinery Of
government is not well designed to
produce economy. The administrative
officers who are responsible for re-
suits may be Jealous to reduce expen-
ditures, but the aldermen are the mas
ters and, in the end, will control.
THE aldermen who have authority
and control over appropriations yield
to the demand of constituents; and
lay the burden of extravaganza on the
administrative officers appointed not
by themselves but by the mayor. Au-
thority and responsibility are not
clearly defined; good men are dis
couraged. Initiative and energy, so
amply rewarded in private business,
are at discount, and lax or indiffer-
ent methods, government methods,
prevail The results is high cost of
operation: waste"
Mr., Norton cited various investiga-
tions of municipal accounting and ex-
penditure as corroborating his own
experience, leading him to say: Il

stalks and other such refuse to the mill" and receive in return the ale cohol. It Is a simple method which farmers have long been accustomed to adopt where flour and other nee essaries were concerned.
 The farmers are eager to find a cheap source of energy. Nowadays multitudes of them use gasolene Tor such purposes as grinning feed, cut ting fodder and running the corn sheller, circular saw, horse clipper and grlndstone.
 A farm in these times is more or less of a factory By gasolene IS expensive. Alcohol is comparative ly cheap and when manufactured from the farmers own vegetable re- fuse it would cost next to nothing.
 In France there are 27.000 farmer distillers who make alcohol for ID. dustrial purposes from molasses and sugar beets. It is high time that this idea was turned to profitable ac' count in the United States. Rotten apples, frost bitten potatoes, stale wasermelons, corrstalks and cobs and every other kind of vegetable refuse are available for this purpose.

JUST IMAGINE.

One of the newest vogues in so. cial circles in London for engaged men is the wearing of gold bangles above the elbow. It Is not likely to be adopted by the engaged men on this side of the Atlantic. New York society men particularly have never taken kindly to such fads. Some of them have been known to wear bands of gold. presented by their fiancee, on the upper part of the arm, out of sight, so that few of their in- innate friends were aware of 1t. In England the bangle, given by the young woman. is locked on the arm. and the summer sports-golf ten his and rowing-have revealed just how many athletic youths are about to become benedicts. The fad all turns on a fashion-rather late in the day to discover it-set by the king. who it appears since his mar riage has always worn a heavy gold bangle on his wrist. A dozen or ff- teen years ago there were some men in this prosaic country who were in trepid enough to attempt the wear ing of the gold bangle. but the quibs and jests of their friends soon weaned them of the Washing ton Star.

 self When He Walks With Lady.
 'rCan anybody tell me for sure, said this young man, Ion which side of the lady l should place myself when we walk in the public streetsY
 T have a very clear notion about this myself. I say that the gentle man should walk at the lady's left hand. she at his right, for this req son:
 'It is the custom in this coun- try for people meeting to turn to the right Now. in doing this, man with a woman on his right arm would present himself as shield against crowding or intrusion from anybody passing from the opposite direction; if there was collision or crowding on the passing side the man would be there to take the shock, and the woman would be held always safely away from it, or even from the ruffling of her apparel.
 But people tell me I'm foolish. They say the man ought always to walk on the side of the woman to- ward the curb, no matter on which side of her that brings him. whether on the right or the left The dan oer. thev say, is on the curb side, where the traffic is. the horses and trucks and wagons and carriages and automobiles, and the mud spatters.
 q think the idea is wrong, and then the mans keeping always on the curb side involves more or less changing. See what happens when they cross the street and walk on the other side Then the man has to run around her, doesn't he? Change position then to get on the outside; and what is more ridiculous than to see a man prancing around a lady to change from one side to the other to get next the curb9
 "No. sir I don't see the curb theory at all. My idea is that the man should walk with the lady at his rieht side always, that in this way he can be her best protection and defender. But I would really like tc have somebody tell me which is right for sure New York Sun.
