Woman Makes Bugs for the Government

gigantic scale in comparison to the
life size insects, a close microscopic
study of the subject and the ability
to shape the different parts on iden-
teal lines are details of Mrs. Heide-
mann's work that must be followed
each time she molds reproduction.
Mrs. Heidemann as a sculptor has
produced busts Of some of the celeb
rites of the day, but she says her art
has never been more severely taxed
than it is through her employment for
the bureau of entomology of the de-
partment of agriculture. The models
of insects cover virtually every known
form of life in the world of bugs.
The models are true reproduction,
fantastic in some cases and hideous in
others, and they furnish exceptional
means for persons interested in agri.
culture to study both the insects that
destroy crops and the others that pre-
serve agricultural products.

HILL FOR PRESIDENT.
REGENTS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
HIM SUCCEED PRESIDENT
NoRTHRoP.
NOW AT UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI
Most of Them Believe He Will Ac-
cept-Visit to Columbia Mo-, to
Be Paid by Committee on
Successor.

Minneapolis. Prof. Albert Ross
Hill, president of the University OF
Missouri, has been offered the presl-
dency of the University of Minnesota
to succeed President Cyrus North
rop. The general opinion of those
who are seeking him is that he will
accept the offer.
For time the regents expected to
bring Dean Frederick S. Johns, form
erly of the engineering college OF the
University of Minnesota, now OF the
college of arts and sciences at Yale,
back to this state, but opposition caus-
ed the withdrawal of the name.
Although there are several educa-
tors on the list of the regents, the
name of President Hill is declared to
be almost their unanimous choice. 1t
is expected that the selection Will
be made within the next few weeks,
though the committee of the regents
appointed to visit the various educa-
tors under consideration may take &C
ton in a week. OF this committee
Ex-Governor John Lind, is chairman,
and the other members are B. F. Mel
son, President Northrop, Pierce But
Ter, and Dr. William J. Mayo. Messrs.
Lind and Nelson, and possibly Mr..
Butler, were to go to various institu-
lions of the country to discuss the
topic of a new president, but they
may go to no other place than Mis-
souri,
President Hill is among the best ed
ucators of the country. He was born
in Nova Scotia, Oct. 4, 1869, and re-
ceived his first education in a coun-
try school, He went to Pictou, N. s.,
academy and to Dalhousie university,
Halifax, where he received ABB. hon.
ors in 1892. Following this he went
to Cornell, where he received his Phi.
B., in 1895. He was at Heidelberg,
Berlin and Strassberg in 1894 and
at Clark university, Worcester, Mass,
in the summer of 1896. He received
his LII. D. at the University of South
Carolina in 1905.
His first tutoring experience came
in Nova Scotia from 1885 to 1887. He
was professor of psychology at the
state normal school at Oshkosh, Wis,
in 1895 and 1897, and following this
he was made associate professor of
philosophy, in 1897, of the University
of Nebraska.
From 1898 to 1903 he was professor
of philosophy and director of the
psychological laboratories at the same
institution. In 1903 he went to the
University of Missouri as professor Of
educational psychology and dean of
the teachers college. Since then he
has advanced to the head of that
institution. He is member of Sigma
XII fraternity and numerous education
al organizations.

WASHINGTON. = The comprehen-
w sive economies in the executive
departments of the governments which
the administration is seeking to ap-
ply, will penetrate to the remotest
sections of the country. Not only
Is the work of the departments in
Washington being analysed, but every
public Office in every state will receive
the same treatment. This will include
every mint, especially the big mint at
Philadelphia, every custom house, ev-
cry internal revenue office, every post
Office and all other offices where the
public money is expended. The prom
Use was made by Senator Aldrich, dur
ing the tariff debates, that a saving
of from Is to 40 per cent. is possible
and the administration is aiming to
reach those figures.
This means that preparations are
being made to make many consolida-
lions where work heretofore has been
duplicated. In fact, some of these
consultations are accomplished al
ready. Also 1t means that the bust
ness of each borough and Office is be-
ing scanned, all with a view of in
creasing their efficiency and at the
same time reducing the cost. The ad-
ministration has gone far enough to
know that this can be done.
The work of investigation is under
charge of Charles D. Norton, assist
ant secretary of the treasury, who
handles the annual estimates for all
departments, and he has not yet ex-
amined a single public Office without
finding faults to be cured and the ex.
pense to be cut off, The trouble lies
largely in an unnecessary number of
employees and consequent system of
loaf1ng and Sinking that would not
be tolerated in any private business.
Much of the investigation so far
made has been the personal work of
Mr. Norton. Thus in an office under
the treasurer of the United States he
found the work far behind and an ap-

art expects to live one thousand years
more.
Paul G. Hirsch. also Of Minneapolis,
will endeavor to "go him" for the same
little period, if he likes certain prop
critics just leased from Mr.. Stewart
so well that he shall wish to renew
the leases when they expire-for said
leases run an even thousand years,
and contain provision that the lessee
may secure extensions by appearing
personally in the presence Of the les
sor for the latter's signature.
In other words little business
meeting between Mr.. Stewart and Mr.
Hirsch may be looked forward to by
the members of the Minneapolis long
evity club, to take place on June 1,
2910.
The veteran real estate man has
signed leases which expire Jan. l.,
2910, with Mr.. Hirsch, whom he char
acterizes as the senior member of his
firm, although the latter is fully so
years younger.
Three Leases in All.
Three leases were signed, one being
for 40 acres of land extending from ST.
Adams bay, Lake Minnetonka, to
Christmas lake, the annual rental dur
ing the first 20 years amounting to
$500. Thereafter the rate will be in
creased 3k per cent each score Of
years, based on the present valuation
Of the property. The property is val
ued at $500 per acre.
The other two leases comprise a lot
on Tenth avenue south between First
and Second streets, valued at $4,000,
and the entire State addition, owned
by Mr.. Stewart and located on Lake
street between Portland avenue and
Third avenue south. These leases
were made on the same basis and for
the same period as that of the Mime
tonka property.
The valuation of the State addition
property on which the lease was based
is 100000. The rental will be in
creased on a graduated scale every 20
years during the life Of the lease.
These leases are record-breakers in
the United States so far as the num-
Der of years is concerned.

Uncle Sam Gets After the Loafers

pl1cat1On Tor more employees on hle.
Mr. Norton went to this office at nine
in the morning, when business is sup
posed to begin, and found it empty.
Presently few of the clerks arrived,
but it was ten o'clock before all of
them were there and at work. At
1870 some of them went out to lunch,
and it was c:30 before all of them
were again at their desks. Shortly
after four they begin to leave the
place. although the days work is not
supposed to be over until 4:30. At
that hour not a soul remained in the
office.
After satisfying himself this was the
daily routine in the office MIR. Norton
sent for Charles H. Treat, then treas
urer, and exploded his bomb. He or
dered that instead of increasing the
force in that Office it was to be re-
duced. This was done and the Office
has so increased in efficiency that it is
doing more work than it ever did be-
fore, and is fast catching up on it's
back business.
A big printing Office was maintained
by each department, although the
| largest printing plant in the world is
the government printing Office. This
big plant has always been compelled
to lay off men each summer, when it
might have been doing all the printing
for the departments. The department
printing Offices were ordered disman-
tied and the work was sent to the gov
eminent printing office, but amid much
protest. In the treasury there was
also bindery, and it was claimed
| that this at least must be retained, as
it was used to bind the issues of gov
eminent bonds.
Ascertain exactly how many days
work goes to binding bonds in year,"
was the peremptory order of the sec
| retary's Office.
Five days." was the answer.
'Then the bindery goes. Keep one
binding machine and have the govern
ment printing Office send man for
| five days each year to run it."
Norton has been prowling around in
the Philadelphia mint and he has told
some of his friends in congress that
he found men falling over each other
there, the employees being so numer-
Gus that they actually impeded each
other in the discharge of their du-
| ties
