rloyees In Washington is In full swing.
Former Senator Chasi Dick, of Ohio,
Is one Of the main spirits in the
undertaking His political experience
has enabled him 70 be of great aid
in the making of campaign along
practical lines.
The work has gone on so persist
emily and tactfully that the clerks
seems to have n fair chance OF win
ming. In the agitation the chief argu.
ment. of course, has been the high
cost of living.
A discovery made few days ago
that the salaries of clerks were high
or before the civil war than they are
at present Is being presented as a
powerful argument. 1T appears that
IN 1852 congress enacted a Jaw in
crcasing the Compensation of govern
ment clerks and classifying them.
The average salary of a clerk be-
fcre the passage Of the bill was ST.
l72 and after its passage the average
was $1,290. At the present time the
average is s1.072. Friends of the
clerks do not fail to point out that
in the early nfties the PURCHASING
power of articles of food per dollar
was probably two or three times
greater than Il Is these days Of high
cost.

and secure. There is no
mystery in the art of dam construc-
ton and no problems in their design
which competent engineers are not
capable of solving with accuracy and
reliability.
But 1t may be said. why then do
dams and bridges and other engineer
ing structures fall, even when eng-
neers of good reputation are employ
ed in their design? We can answer
this question in a word. These dis
asters occur because too frequently
those who build these structures buy
just as little engineering and buy 1t
As cheaply rs they possibly can.
Twenty-Five years ago. when the
failure Of an insignificant dam above
Johnstowr, Pa. wrought a disaster
which shocked the civilized world, we
declared in these columns that the
time had come for establishing state
supervision Of dams and dam con
struction i'm the interest Of public
safety
But the lesson of Johnstown fell on
deaf ears. In the state Of Pennsyl
vania today it is 1obody's business To
prevent such cams ~ that at Johns
tCwn or that at Austin from being
constructed. or to see that dams once
built are SO cared for as TO prevent
their being a menace to the valleys
below them.
And Pennsylvania Is no worse than
the great majority of its sister states
Rhode Island. Connecticut and Mass
achusetts in the East and Colorado
and possibly some other of the Far
Western states where irrigation Is i'm
portant are the only states We know
Of which exercise even the mildest
SORT Of supervision over the building
| of dams. Even In these states, how
ever. the state supervision is gener-
ally exercised In an Inadequate man
ner. We are well within bounds In
saying that there Is not a single state
| of the union where the design ana
construction of dams is under suifi
cient control of n high-class engineer
acting under state authority and re-
| sponsibe for the public safety.
But It may be said that state SUI

Pieces of silver nearly 800 years old,
have been received by the National
Museum from the Society of Colonial
Danes who nre making a collection
of old silver plate. They comprise an
ecclesiastical service consisting of two
silver chalices, eight inches in height,
and a silver paten, or plate, five inches
in diameter.
This church service dates back Ia
i724 when II was presented to the
S; AIMS parish founded some eighty
Years before, in Essex county. Va
There was a tradition IN the parish
10 the effect that the service was
presented by Queen Ann, but as she
Cled i'm 1714 and this service is dated
1924. this Is impossible, although Il
probably did come from the fund she
established, known as Queen AIMS
Bounty" One OF the cups and the
paten were lost for many years and
were not discovered until 1909 when
the Rev. Thomas ID. Lewis, then rec
tor of the parish. learned of their lo-
cation and succeeded in purhasinG
them.
Up to the time of their purchase no
history OF tho lost cup and paten Is
available. The present rector of St
AIMS accounts for the loss by the
fact that at one time two churches
existed in the parish, between which
the silver was undoubtedly divided
one known as Vawters and the other
an old church abandoned after tho
Revolution and later destroyed. The
silver was probably appropriated and
sold, I'm which case II would have
heen lost for nearly 1875 years.
At one time the National Museum
had on exhibition silver baptismal
basin, coming originally from Hol-
land in 1894 and closely connected
with the colonial history of New York.
This was lent the museum by the
Colonial DANES Of New York, but
subsequently, recalled by them.
