Impression Of Newly Found Patriotic
Towel Of Probable Great Age.

designed to be sold to the patriotic
settlers of the American wilds, pos
sibly b. rowing peddlers. 1t is her
opinion that this particular towel may
have formed 4 part OF q set. possibly
consisting Of tablecloth. napkins. and
other towels. and that it alone, by
strange chance, has survived the gen
%erations. 1t came to her through an
elderly woman of German extraction,
who received it from her parents. It
had been III her family as long as she
can remember. and no particular value
was attached TO it, for it was in con
slant daily use.
The designing CT the towel is most
elaborate. and despite its great age,
the various elements Of the scheme
stand out plainly and distinctly. The
lettering alone is somewhat faint in
some lights, but with care in handling
can be clearly deciphered as the light
falls at the proper angles. The ele-
ments in the design are American
eagles. shields Of the nation and other
devices Of patriotic nature cunningly
woven together. The length of the
towel is 33 inches, and its breadth 10
inches.
The inscription follows:
The independence of tie United
States of America Declared July 4,
1776-Washington Elected President

Germany ard Her WATERWAYS.

Although Germany Las three times

has spent hundreds of millions Of
marks in the enlargement and i'm
provement of her waterways. What
the statesmen of Germany think of the
importance of the waterways is shown
by the fact that in tire midst of the
lreatest war in al history, when the
empire is fighting for its very life.
they are not only maintaining and OPP
Grating the waterways they already
have. but are actually building more.

ents particularly fathers) who be-

way to put their lads In the path
be able to resist. ExPresident Eliot
of Harvard has related more than
once that many fathers, when they
have brought their 16 and IL year
old sons to enter as Freshmen at
Harvard, have complacently express
ed the shocking belief, nay, the
shocking hope that their sons would
indulge speedily in 'gentlemen's vices
in gentlemanly way" Some peo-
pie think that personal participation
in what is lawless is the only way to
know life.
In the same way there are teachers
of literature who seem to believe that
adequate knowledge of the literary
art can not be attained without COM
plete acquaintance with everything
that is contrary to the established
canons of good taste and decency in
and expression.
It does not take a psychologist to
analyze the effect on young people OF
this concentration of attention on
what is vile. 1t does not take a
prophet to foretell how quickly dis
eased tastes in literature will spread

MUNICIPAL FINANCES

Whatever the functions of a cit,
government may be, they must de-
pend upon money, the common uni
OF measure that enters into every. az
fair. SO without going into the ma
ture of city's business, it is clear
that the great problem that confronts
its citizens and its officers is that of
managing its financial. affairs.
Before one can hope to see far in
to the management of any business he
must realize that expenditures are of
two kindsAone kind that results in
the enrichment of the enterprise by
the acquisition of tangible things, such
as real and personal property, and one
that pays current expenses and
leaves no tangible asset.
Only in recent years, and then in
only very exceptional cases, have
there been any cities which, in their
financial statements, made any in
telligible distinction between capital
and operating expenditures.
Without statements that show the
taxpayers the same things about city
affairs, that the statements Of corpor-
ations show their stockholders about
their business, there is really no
chance for their judging very in
diligently whether taxes are really
high or low. -
To elect men to public office and
to expect them to carry on the public
business to the best advantage with
out providing them with reliable sta
tistics derived from rational account
ing systems, is to expect too much.
Reform in municipal accounting is
a very promising field for improve
nent In public affairs.
