The story of the Industrial transfnrma-
ton that made this change possible is UNI
foubtc,lly the most remarkable chapter In
the new romance of whirring wheels and
leaping lathes.
No sooner was Lloyd-George named min

Among other producers of finished shell
are candlemakers. flour mills. tobacco

manufacturers of sporting goods.
In some instances the adaptation of old
plants to the making of munitions has
been incredibly rapid. Thus the govern
ment prevailed on a firm making textile
machinery to take an order for field
kitchens. The firm was one of the larg-
est in Great Britain and employed some
5000 laborers; consequently, 1t made over

seen one of these until they went to work,
but in an amazingly short time they COM
pleted the delivery of what Quartermas-
tiers described as the finest field kitch-
ems they had ever had. Thus encouraged,
the ministry of munitions prevailed on the
company to begin the manufacture Of AS
shell. The whole plant was readjusted
and is now reckoned one of the most re-
liable of all government contractors. An
other new explosive factory took on 60
hands to fill bombs. The weekly output
at first was 500 a week. Since that time,
though multiplying it's labor force by only
four, the factory is filling 80 times as
many bombs. Still another which 1-egan
with six girls filling 270 shells a week is
now handling 200 daily!
Tie credit for such achievements as
these belongs not only to Lloyd-George
and the manufacturers. but in a much
larger degree, to the workers and eSpe-
cially to the women volunteers. Lloyd
George has mustered 1875, 900 women into
the munitions industry and has had them
taught some of the most intricate pro-
cesses of shell making. One young dress
maker who volunteered was put at a ma
chine which was supposed. In the hands
of n good workman, to turn out 80 she'll
parts an hour. This wonan'S regular out
put is now 70 an hour. Another expert Is
a young typist. who had five brothers in
the army. One was killed, another was
disabled and the others still bear their
part of the fighting. Not to be behind
hand in patriotism. this girl deserted the
office for the factory, and is now one of
the most expert machinists in the empire.
The only fault her employers find with
her is that her passionate hatred of the
enemy keeps her at her work bench dur
ing lunch time and after hours and makes
her disobey every order to slow down.
Along with these heroic women work
many men who nave left unnecessary pro-
LESSONS for the munitions plants. Lord
Curzon's brother Is a shell turner; sew
eral members of the house of lords are
regular machinists; and in one city every
lawyer and court official goes on Satur-
day afternoon to a factory and works
steadily, with just enough time off for
sleep, until the sessions are resumed
Monday.
1t is possible to measure, after a FASH
ion, the effect Of this Industrial mobiliza-
ton on the operations of the British army
and navy. Movements are now feasible
which. a year ago. would nave been inn
possible. But who can measure the eff
feet on British trade and manufactures of
this new awakenment, this new coopera-
ton, this new recruiting? Merely to
imagine the possible results is to be stag
gered.

Preserving Old Manuscripts.

There are not SO persons in the
United States who are skilled in the
preservation and repairing Of old
manuscripts. One of them, says the
University of Wisconsin Bulletin, may
be found working on the third floor of
the Wisconsin historical library build
ing at Madison. n of the six or seven
institutions in the mt that carry
on such work scientifically.
About a generation or two ago a
priest in the vatican library at Rome
originated and developed the process
papers. Until last year there was none
OF this work which was high grade and
scientific done in this country west of
the Alleghanies. All work that the
university had done was sent to Massa-
chusetts. Last July the process was
to the state historical Ii
brary.
The first thing done in the process
OF preserving the letters is to place
them between wet newspapers under a
weight and leave them for five or six
hours. This removes the creases and
the dirt. Then they are put between
wood pulp boards inc left "a hours and
Their between blotters to complete the
drying process. The next step is to re-
pair the paper. The paper of some Of
these letters Is SO old when received
that 1t fails to pieces IL struck. This
Is strengthened by a layer of crepoline,
q transparent cloth. on both sides Of
the piece Of paper. Other letters need
mending along the edges with parch-
ment paper. To cover holes a piece Of
paper is glued over the edges and is
left larger than the hole until dry. 1t
Is then cut down to the proper size and
the edges are sandpapered until smooth.
After all such repairs are made the
letters are mounted on large white
sheets and prepared for binding.

Need of a Budget System.
Theodore Burton In Chicago News.

The question Of a proper and ration
al control of our national expenditures
is rapidly assuming added Importance
now that the United States is embark
ing upon an expensive system of mill
tary and naval preparedness.
Except during the periods when it
was engaged in actual war, the people
OF the United States are now for the
first time in our history being subjected
to direct taxes in order to raise revenue
for the conduct Of the national gov
eminent. The enactment of the fed
eral income tax as a feature of the I'm
observation-disclosures tariff act of 1913 and
the enactment in 1914 of the emergen-
cy revenue act nave brought home for
the first time the importance Of the
question Of our national finances.
In 1891 we had our first 1000, 900, 900
congress. Today we have $1,000, 900. 900
sessions Of congress-. Our total appro-
priations for h current fiscal year,
ending June 80, 1916, amount to $1,114,-
$4,000. Each congress now appropri-
enormous sum we Of the United States
are about to add the cost of proper
military and naval programs.
The voters demand onomy in the
expenditures of state legislatures and
city councils. But they have long cher
ished the delusion hat money appro-
priated from the federal treasury costs
nothing and they have therefore en-
couraged their congressman in voting
large and often unwarranted sums of
money for purposes which are most I'M
wise and even reprehensible.
Unfortunately u system of making
appropriations puts a premium on
l%ooseness and extravaganza. In the Uni
ted States the secretary of the treas
ury has none of the power which is
vested. for example. in the British
chancellor of the exchequer. The sec
rotary of the treasury merely complies
and transmits to congress the estimates
Of the other departments of the gov
eminent. These estimates are not UNI
der his control and they are prepared
without reference to the demands Of
other branches Of the public service or
to the funds which may be available
for their discharge.
In Great Britain the chancellor of the
exchequer receives the estimates pre-
pared by the ministry and, after care
fully revising them. he forwards them
to parliament For consideration. Indeed,
the fact Is that we are the only first
class power in the world that attempts
to operate without a public budget sys-
tenn.
Moreover. in our congress there is no
correlation between the committee
which prepares measures for raising
revenues and the committees which
frame the annual appropriation bills.
Forest City press. (Forest City, Potter County, D.T. [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1916-07-05

All bills to raise originate in
the and means committee OF the
House Of Representatives. On the other
hand. the appropriation bills are pre-
One committee raises money and eight
committees proceed to spend it.
Each committee Is naturally the par
tisan of the department Of the govern
ment which it represents and, of course.
strives to secure for its branch Of the
service the largest possible funds. We
have thus a powerful combination In
favor Of enormous expenditures with no
real organization for economy.
Another defect in u system arises
from the fact that two separate and
coordinate bodies. h House and the
Senate, have equal authority in the en-
actment Of appropriation
Each body has Its own standards and
amendments defeated in the House are
only too frequently adopted In h Sem
no owe to amend appropriation bills.
The burden of legislation is now 80
great that appropriation bills carrying
hundreds Of millions Of dollars are OF
necessity rushed through congress
without proper consideration or debate.
This situation is Intensified by group
ing appropriations in omnibus bills, by
which practice indefensible items are
carried through into law by the force
of the meritorious n necessary pro-
jects.
Several reforms should be adopted. In
the first place, we should have greater
cooperation between the different COM
mittees of congress-, between the COM
lmittee which raises revenue and those
which expend it. A radical step would
be the adoption Of an amendment to
the federal constitution giving the
president the owe to veto separate
items Of omnibus appropriation bills.
Millions Of dollars annually could thus
be saved without endangering the con-
duct Of the really essential operations
Of the government. This power Is pos
sessed by the governors of many Of the
states and it has been found to inter-
pose a salutary check upon the natural
tendency to extravagances that Is SO
plainly in evidence in most legislative
bodies.
One of the most effective reforms
would be to adopt the budget system
and confer upon the secretary OF the
treasury the power enjoyed by the Eng
lish chancellor of the e~xchequer to re.
Wise and control the estimates Of the
different departments Of the govern
ment. Such a system would establish
responsibility n do much to stand
ardize expenditures. We are the
only great power without a budget sys-
tenn and under our present methods we
have the costliest system Of goyern-
: ment in the world.
