Better Be Good to the Gold Fish
Or the Police Will Be After You!
Use of Globe Is Inhuman, Says Aquarium Society
Causes Fish Nearly to Suffocate and Dis
torts Them Into Grotesque Shapes

fish live by getting oxygen out OF the
water Each hsh should have at least
a cubic foot OF water.
How would you like TO be cooped up in
a cylinder roomy enough for you TO move
ABOUT in, but with only several square
fcct or less Of open space at the top to
admit air? the aquarium society asks.
Another complaint of the society is that
circular aquariums distort the appear
ance OF the fish. In other words, they
are nature fakirs.
How would you Hike to have others see
your prided form in oblong, rectangular.
triangular, prysmic, and other forms
tho aquarium society again asks.
The society passed a resolution unani-
mously condemning the round fish globe
and will carry its campaign to eradicate
this evil to the dealers in fish aquariums,
appealing to them not to sell any but
square. roomy aquariums which will give
the fish the proper breathing surface.
So II you see a "S. p. c. A" badge IN
your community 1t would be a wise move
to pet your fish and give them an airing
in the bathtub II you still have a round
fish globe on your premises.

can afford to be so lax In its business
methods. In England at the beginning
of the fiscal year, April ], the chancellor
Of the eXchequer presents the budget to
the house OF commons, his estimates
being taken from reports made to him
by the various department heads, so that
no item of the budget exists there with
out his approval. In Germany, although
the imperial chancellor makes the bud
get speech in the diet, the budget is
written by the imperial secretary OF the
treasury, who has the full ministerial
power of revision. The French system
carries the idea even farther, in that the
chamber Of deputies not only votes the
appropriations in the budget annually.
but also. II necessary. revises the taxes
TO meet the expenditures. as Is the prao-
tice in certain OF our States.
Because We have no such system a
this we have no means of considering
the problem Of government as whole,
no work program, nor any systematic
method Of reporting how the public
money has been spent In other words.
the public never gets a comprehensive
picture of government work. either be-
fore II is done or afterwards. In the
past century we have had more than
100 costly, special investigations 10 OBJ
of funds, information which should have
been regularly submitted in the annual
budget.
I'm President Taft's administration the
Economy and Efficiency Commission sub
mitted a plan for an American budget
It consisted of the following divisions:
-. The Presidents message showing
the significance OF the budget statement;
"2. A financial statement explaining.
(a) the financial condition of the coun-
try, Cb) the condition Of funds previously
appropriated. (c) an account of the ex-
penditures of the preceding year, and (d)
the effect of the new proposals and the
past policy upon the Treasury surplus:
''3.' summary Of the expenditures Of
the preceding year;
- A summary Of esttmates-(a) Of
revenues compared with the actual reve-
nues of a number of years; and o. of
expenditures compared with the actual
expenditures of years;
IS. Suggested changes In the law for
greater efficiency.
Such q plan would give the people .
clear picture Of how their funds are spent,
and the people would insist upon efficien-
cy in management 1t would be found
that, outside of the f1ed charges, the
government. still keeping within its reve-
nues, would have a fluid fund to be spent
upon those projects deemed to be most
necessary. This would rouse public at
tentIon, and letters and patitions would
pour in upon Congress advising them
whether to spend more on education and
less on health, more on aid to commerce
and less to agriculture, and so on In
stead of adopting every project, and re-
gretting it afterwards when we came to
pay the bills, we would do only those
things We could afford. The budget, to
quote Prof. Hatton, of Western Reserve
University, might be made one of the
most potent Instruments of democracy

Starting on their journey November 10
last from Newark. n. j., with Los
Angeles, Cal. as the objective point OF
their trip. they crossed the continent in
a little more than ten days. Going west
they took the northern route, but on the
return they came over what is known as
the southern way, down through Texas
and New Orleans Though they had many
interesting experiences on their trip, the
car did not give the slightest mechanical
trouble. 1t was not until they reached
San Francisco on the Western leg Of the
journey that they had to use a wrench
and then only to remove a spark plug
that the points might be adjusted.

What Did He Maan2

Until three o'clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley of the Tombs prison
was q perfectly contented warden, says
a New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that man with frock coat and q
silk hat had called to see him, and as
the man was to return at three o'clock,
Mr. Hanley cut short his tour Of the
prison and returned to his Office. He
found that the caller had called. fumed
and finally left this note: "ThIrty
years ago my father, who was of me-
Siium height and undoubtedly punctual,
was employed as heat denunciator In
"a metal mill IN Pittsburgh. For years,
or at least for q considerable time. he
told no one. However, It was common
rumor. Now, after all these years,
does 1t seem that man would DELHI
erately take any such action? What
would be his motive? / ask you as
a humanitarian to discuss this with no
one. Merely use II for your own infor-
nation and proceed likewise. leave
for Pittsburgh at four O'Clock, but trust
you Implicitly Friend" At late
hour Warden Hanley. having read the
note through 90 times was reading II
through for the ninety-third time.

The marines know how to handle

Our blueiackets were marching up

went inside to reload. When he came

Through his eight-power field glass the

trigger-and the Mexican fell out OF
his chair.
Got him, sir" said the marine.
