ROLL-T0P DESK IS BARRED
In the Interest Of Efficiency Eastern
Railroad Equlps lts Offices With
Modern Furnishings.

This is an age OF efficiency. and in
the successful stores. Offices, and cor
porations one sees many things that
make for more efficient work on the
part Of every one from the big boss
down to the janitor.
Nowhere perhaps is efficiency more
rigidly demanded than on most Of
the railroads. An order Just issued by
an Eastern railroad is illustrative Of
the point. This order forbids the use
OF roll-top desks by any OF the en-
ployes-all Offices from the presidents
down and oil those along the system
have been equipped with fattop
desks.

Story From the Capital Concerning
French and German Ambassadors
Is a Good One, Though It 10
Not Official.

1t was before the war came in grim
earnest, of course, but here is the
form In which a perfectly respectable
old story used to be told over the Gig
arettes in Washington. When the gov
ernments of France and Germany
were merely barking at each other
across the conference table, II hap
pened one day that an Italian organ
grinder, strolling along the streets of
Washington. planted his instrument
of torture on the curb in front OF the
German legation and began grinding
out the Marseillaise.
The strains Of Frances great ma
tional air fell upon the ears of the
German ambassador, Count Bernstorff,
as he sat within, deep In the dipio-
matte puzzles of his office, and frown
overspread his brow; for the Germans,
though music-loving people, love not
the tune Of the Marseillaise. How
ever, he passed the incident, as a
momentary annoyance, and buried
himself deeper in his work.
When the musician, having reached
the end of the Marseillaise, proceeded
to adjust his machine and play It
over again. the ambassador grew rest
less. And when the third round be-
gan. Count Bernstorff's patience broke
under the strain. Hammering upon his
call-bell, he summoned an attendant.

The valet, swiftly making his way to
the street, addressed the organ

"Yes, sure. Mike, play him." re-

CIRCULAR LETTER
 ASKS FOR FUNDS
LITTLE ROCK HIGHWAY COM MISSION SENDING OUT COM
 MUNlCATloN TO TAXPAYERS.
Urge That Replies Be Made as Early as Possible so the Commissioners Will Get This Part of Work Done.

That the work on the Little Rock highway might not be further de layed through lack of funds with which to carry out the contracts that are made and will soon be entered into, the commissioners are sending out the following letter, to which responses must be made promptly if the people expect this work to pro ceed undelayed:
 Dear Sir:
 We address you asking for a sub scription to the fund being raised to construct the highway in Garland county between Hot Springs and Lit tie Rock more commonly known as the Benton street road.
 For the money so subscribed county road warrants will be issued and said scrip can be applied in the payment of taxes covering a period of three years. The scrip will be issued at par and the substance of this request is that this committee is asking you to loan a small amount to the county for purpose that will re- dound to the benefit of every citizen.
 The county judge is without funds and this is the only way open to con struct a very much needed piece of road the most necessary one to our prosperity in Garland county. Over this road many machines will come from Little Rock and other cities over the state. This is virtually our gate way to the state and there is no reason why We should not be enjoy ing the patronage that is rightfully ours and which is very desirous of visiting Hot Springs.
 That one hasn't a machine is no reason why one shouldn't exercise ones civic pride and patriotic duty in assisting in the success of a project that is so vital to our hotels, restau- rants and merchants in general.
 You get dollar for dollar for the amount you subscribe to this fund. This money will be spent under the direct supervision of a highway com mission appointed by the county judge, thereby assuring you of a judicious and economical expenditure of this fund
 Figure the amount of your taxes; | one-fourth is what you can use in road scrip. then multiply that by the period of three years. This is the amount the soliciting committee asks you to subscribe Address MT Bir- kett Williams, chairman and treas urer of the road commission and ad- | wise him to this effect. The money itself will be needed as tine road l progresses covering period of 90 days, and at the end of that time the warrants will be issued you in return for the receipt given you upon the payment of the money by you.
 We again wish to impress upon you the vital importance of you doing your share in this great work and we trust that We receive an immediate answer from you in this connection, | Very respectfully yours,
 THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
