Of Ethics and Principles As
Adopted for Electrical
Engineers, Il, l..

4 r 3 q >
NEW YORK, Mar. 2S-The board
of directors of the American Insti-
tute Of Electrical Engineers adopted
at its last meeting Code. OF Prin-
ciples of Professional Conduct, The
code was compiled and submitted
70 the board by a committee con-
sisting Of George F. Sever. consult
ing engineers: H.. W., Buck, con-
sulting engineer; Colonel Samuel
Rever, signal corps, United States
army; Dr.. Charles P. Stelnmetz.
consulting engineer of the General
Electric Company; Henry G.. Scott,
superintendent OF motive power of
the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company, Of New York City; and
DIR. Schuyler S. Wheeler, president
of the Crocker-Wheeler Company
The movement for the adoption of
such code was initiated by DR..
Wheeler, who is past president OF
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers. He delivered an address
on Engineering Honor" at the
twenty-third annual convention OF
that body in Milwaukee, Wis, May
t2S, 1906. Immediately after the de-
livery of the address a committee
was appointed to draw up the code.
The code, as adopted, covers the
general principles by which every
electrical engineer should be guided,
the engineers relations to client or
employer. the ownership of en-
cheering records and data, the en-
gineer's relations to the public, and
the engineers relations to the en-
cheering fraternity. Under the first
head it prescribes the highest stand
ards of honor Under the second it
advocates absolute frankness at all
times in the complexity of relations
in which any engineer may be in
VOWED through having interests,
financial or otherwise, in several
different directions. Under the third
it makes plain the matter of owner
ship of engineering records or data
which are property of either the en-
engineer or his client according 20
the different circumstances under
which they are created. The fourth
division points out the duty OF the
engineer to assist the public to q
fair and correct general understand
ing of engineering matters and to.
extend the general knowledge of en-
cheering and also the advisability
of conducting technical discussions
and publishing first accounts OF in
ventions in the technical press. The
last division advocates cooperation
among engineers, mutual protection
against Misrepresentation and the
giving of credit to whom credit is
due.

rotary of the Roosevelt state CON-
mittee. While / believe all factions
would be more nearly united for the

Audit
OF the Accounts of Deceased
Ex-Sheriff is Filed by
Mr.. Blue.

CHARLESTON, Mar. 2s-An-
other report of an audit has been
filed by Tax Commissioner Blue. 1t is
that OF the late ex-sheriff H. F.
Ours, of Upshur county, and covers
his term of Office from July /, 1905,
to July 1, 1903, and also that OF
Sheriff c. E Hiner up to December
81, 1910. In the latter's accounts
the settlements with the county
court for taxes have not been audit
ed. The report OF the audit was
really completed the latter part OF
January, at the time Mr.. Ours, who
was a member OF the legislature a
year ago, was confined to his bed,
and later died. The tax commits
sioner delayed the filing of the re-
port, and appends a letter to the re-
port filed with the prosecuting at
torney of Upshur county stating his
reasons for the delay and mention
ing the interview Mr.. ours had with
the tax commissioner as to the find
ings.
The total findings against Mr..
Ours is s1,79S.76 to the county,
and $84.73 to the state. There
were discrepancies both ways, those
due the sheriff amounting to $519.-
81. The amount Of the discount
allowed in the four year settlements,
but which is not made finding
is $4,299.17.
G. E. Hiner, the present sheriff
is held to owe s571.73, nearly all
of which is the result or excessive
allowances to Hiner as jailer or SER
vices as jailer. The court allowed
Hiner $500 a year as jailer, which
is $3.50 a year more than is allowed
by the statutes.
Mr.. Ours was allowed 5000 al
year during his four years instead
OF $3.50 as jailer. This item with
a duplicate payment of $615 COM
prised the bulk of the findings
against the late sheriff. Mr.. Ours
before his death admitted the error
and was about to reimburse the
county when he was taken i'll and
died.
When filing the report with the
prosecuting attorney and county
clerk Tax Commissioner Fred o.
Blue appended the following letter:
II am enclosing you, under sep
arate registered parcel, report OF
audit by this office of accounts of ex-
Sheriff H. P Ours, and payments
made to Sheriff Hiner from the
county treasury, but not the latter's
settlements. 4ei a.,
"You Will please file this audit in
your office and take such steps in
the premises necessary to collect
the findings. ar re- st
"A few days before Mr.. Ours was
stricken down by typhoid fever. and
before the audit was completed and
hound, he came to my office and
went over the findings, and stated,
in substance, they were correct. At
the same time he explained in detail
the causes that led to the findings
against him, and his explanations
satisfied Chief Accountant Dover
and myself that none of the items
occurred by improper motives on the
part Of Mr.. Ours or his assistants,
but on the contrary were results OF
inadvertent errors, oversight and
different construction of the law as
to some items.
"Mr. Ours died between the date
he was here and this date, and in
justice to him, since he can not
speak for himself, am attaching a
copy of this letter to the report
every truly yours,
"FRED o. BLUE.

ries have doubled in number within
the last few years. We are eating
fifty times as much sweet stuff as
We did twenty years ago. l f We
would refrain from eating candy for
two years we could save money
enough to pay off the national debt;
or We could buy Uncle Sam one hum
dred battle ships of the dreadnought
type, drain every acre of swamp
land in the valley of the Mississippi
or build and fortify, fill up ond dig

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

Land is the only permanent prop
erty. If you want a safe investment,
buy land. Money in your pocket
dribbles out through a hundred holes.
Jewels are lost, or shrink in value by
clever limitations. And as for saw
ings in the sock or in the bank-year
by year, more and more value is
squeezed out of the dollar
Save your money, if you can spare
anything from the grievous eXpen-
ses of a decent livelihood; and then.
If you want your savings to work
for you-buy land For no more land
is being created, population lis in
creasing and the value of available
land in civilized countries rises con
stantly with the increasing demand
and the diminishing value of coin and
bank notes.
The day is coming, perhaps, when
land will no longer be a commodity
for investment or speculation
But meanwhile, the big fellows are
grabbing the land and the profits,
knowing that they have sure thing.
And SO this suggestion to the little
fellows

WHAT If ALL ADVERTISING
WE'RE ELIMINATED?

In the September Woman's Home
Companion apears an interesting
editorial On advertising, an extract
from which follows:
Can you imagine what existence
would be like if all advertising were
eliminated?
1T would mean more than the
absence of advertising in the pages
of periodicals and newspapers. 1t
would mean that the grocer would
not have his name or his business
printed over his door or on his win
dow The drug stores would not dis
play the globes of colored water. The
minister would not announce the
topic of his next sermon, nor the
mid-week meetings, from the pulpit.
There wouldn't even be signposts at
country crossroads, nor on the street
corners in towns and cities.
If you should visit a strange
community where there was no ad-
vertiSing whatever, you would real
ize how absolutely dependent you are
upon advertising. If you wanted to
go to a store, particularly the best,
one could direct you, for that is ad-
vertising -word-of-mouth advertising
which is sometimes as important and
as valuable as any other. Frankly
you would find it practically impos-
sible to live without advertising, al
though you might manage to exist
after a fashion.
GA mere child could tangle us up
in about a minute if his Unsuitable
curiosity were direced to advertis-
ing. To his first question We could
promptly and truthfully reply that a
man advertiSes to make money But
for the next logical inquiry, How
does he make money by advertiSing?
the answer isn't so easy. Possibly
the childish mind might be satisfied
with the explanation that advertising
increases the volume of business,
which is true, of course; but it is
neither comprehensive nor final
''You may follow it through ever
so many ramifications, and i'm the
end you will find that advertising
pays for the simple reason that lit
renders a service to you and me and
to the man and woman next door,
''The great agents of civilization
are those which save time and in
creases comfort and correspondence
of people. These are the things that
make the railroad and the many ap-
plications for electricity-the tele-
graph, the telephone, light, power
so enormously valuable. Advertising
belongs in the same category. There
is no way of estimat ting it's capacity
for saving time, for increasing COM
fort''

You cannot tell what dreary place
a little cheerfulness may grace, or
what turned turtle it may right with
turning on it's mellow hight You may
have seen it shooting beams of old

dumping cures for aches and groans
upon the dirty cobblestones. 1t likes
to gravitate about and knock a pill
low window out, or thrust sunbeam
through slit and see what joy will
come of it. A troop of little evils
hide in hooks and crannies, terrified,
and many a valiant ray of light in
quires if any want to fight.
