HOW THE GOVERNMENT TESTS
IT'S PURCHASES.

DR.. Strstton. director OF the United
States bureau of standards. which
keeps a check upon government pur-
chases, recently told me that in an
experience Of more than 10 years he
had never uncovered a single in
stance Of deliberate dishonesty. The
Incompetence which so frequently
marks government business is due, in
his opinion. TO the failure OF experts
TO devise scientific standards without
which efficiency either in govern
ment or private business is impos-
sible.
The federal government buys
enormous quantities OF paper, from
official linen stationery 10 the
crude wood pulps OF paper towels.
Some years ago the bureau Of stand
ards wanted an especially durable
paper for its scientific publications.
1t chose a sample containing so per
cent OF rag stock, and on this sample
the government purchasing agent
let the contract 20 the lowest bid
der. The first lot delivered looked
like clear evidence of grating col
fusion between the purchasing agent
and the successful bidder; il was I'M
mixed wood pulp. The case was so
gross that DR.. Stratton made IL the
subject of a searching investigation.
He found that the accepted method
Of judging a sample of paper-a
practice which had come down from
the early days OF the industry-was
20 look II over for surface and color,
crumple 1t in the fingers TO deter
mine it's folding strength. and chew
a scrap TO appraise its texture and
composition. Upon this crude evil
dence Of eyes, fingers and teeth II
was the rule of the trade for the bid
der TO make one guess at the quality
Of the sample and a second at the
cost of production. The more skilful
the appraiser the less likely was he
to make the lowest bid. The manu-
facturer in this particular case had
followed the custom of the trade.
had appraised the sample in the ira
ditional way, and executed his con-
tract in perfect good faith. He was
amazed when the gross inferiority of
his product was demonstrated. In
chagrin he went back TO his mill.
bought the best rag stock IN the
market. and delivered a second lot
superior in every respect TO the
sample.
But this solution was as unfair to
the manufacturer as the first had
been to the government. Besides,
what the bureau needed was not
something superior to the sample,
but it's exact reproduction. Such an
exact reproduction the practical men
IN the business held to be impossible;
they contended that while theorizing

Few persons think things through.

its logical conclusion there would not be many vacant
pews and widespread demand for churches would

The reason is simple: People do not stay away from
