WOMAN FINDS CURE
FOR SLEEPLESSNESS

A woman writer in London paper
says she has found a cure for sleep
lessness. She calls it "Ay-zed," be-
cause it has to do with the letters OF
the alphabet. The title may puzzle
Americans who are not aware that
FAY" is the sound a cochney gives to
the first letter of the alphabet and
that "zed. is how ths Spgligh Pre- r..
Tonight, say, you are wakeful. Re-
view your friends: How many men
or women you have known or do you
know whose Christian names begin
with A? I prescribe Christian names
because they are more lovable and

that it is like what We are told OF
drowning-all your life will pass be-
fore you in vision till you sink bliss
fully beneath the waves Of sleep be-
fore one letter is disposed Of"

STUDENTS TO
PICK Up STUDY
LOST BY WAR

LONDON, JAN 2 Correspondence
of the Associated Press) The PROB
lem of how young students are to
"pick up the lost years of war AFTER
having served with the colors, SO that
they shall not suffer for having
obeyed the call of duty, Is belng
solved by universities, colleges, pro-
fessional institutions and the appoint
ments branch of the ministry or Ia
Dor, in different ways.
The University of London is allow
ing such students to pass simple ex-
animation of a personal character in
stead of matriculation, while the In
terval between the intermediate ex-
aminations and the prescribed courses
of study will be Shortened. "War de.
grees" will also be granted to stu
dents who joined the forces just be-
fore their final examination in a fac
ulty other than medicine. These de-
erees will be placed on a special list
with the word "war" after the short
titles IN. A." "B. A." or others.
Twelve British prisoners while in
Ruhleben camp, in Germany, passed
the London University's naturalization
examination, and others took immedi-
ate examinations for degrees in sci
ence, engineering and economics.
The Law Institute is caring for it's
young legal students by having passed
the solicitors articled clerks act"
whereby students who have been ar
ticled may count the period of war
service as part time under articles.
The Institute of Chartered Account
ants already has planned similar re-
duction of time for serving while the
Royal Institute of British Architects
has decided to allow "War" students
to forego final examination, provided
they pass the intermediate one.
Orders have been introduced into
the bylaws of the Institution of Civil
Engineers which will allow students
war service to count as having full
filled a similar time in study, appren-
ticeship or other practical engineering
service.
The appointments branch of the
ministry of labor has obtained grants

COTTON SPINNING IS
PROFITABLE in ENGLAND

MANCHESTER, England, Dec. 20
(by maiD Cotton spinning has been
profitable industry during the year
ending November 80. An analysis OF
the returns of forty companies shows
total profit of G576,134 on the years
working, or an average of G14,403,
against G5,085 per company in 1917.
After allowing for depreciation and
interest, the profit works out at over
81 per cent on the capital stock, com
pared with 10 per cent last year.
The height of prosperity is said to
have bee reached in July and August,
when the profit for spinners was alb
normally wide. Since then there has
been reduction in earnings.

Will DISC D
HUNLANcAGE
IN SCHOOLS

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 4 (by Asso-
ciated Press).-The teaching of the
German language in Milwaukee grade
schools may disappear entirely when
the new semester begins this month.
In only one school in the city now
is German being taught, and, under
the resolution of the school board
abolishing foreign language instruc-
ton, it would be discontinued at the
end of the term in June,
In 1915 two hundred tnechers were
employed to give INSTRUCTION in the
German language to 3O,OQApupils, and
at the end of 1918 only me teacher
was employed to instruct 400 pupils
in the German language.
One of the final instances in connec-
ton with the elimination of German
instruction came with the recent an
nouncement that Leo Stern, assistant
superintendent of schools in charge
of the foreign language department,
had resigned. The school board last
August voted to abolish the foreign
language department at the END of
the present year. Mr.. Stern's term
expires June 80. Mr.. stu b in his let
ter to the school board said that
after a service of thirty-five years in
the Milwaukee schools he felt that he
was "entitled to a rest"
Mr.. Stern was president of the Wis
consin branch of the German-Ameri-
can Alliance from the time of it's Or
ganization, in 1906, until it was dis
banded in 1917 He was also at one
time a vice president of the national
organization. =

PRESS
AGENT DOING
GOOD WORK

JUAREZ, Mexico, Feb. (by Asso-
ciated Press) Mexico is as modern
as she is ancient General Jesus Au-
gustin Castro the new commander-fn-
chief of the Northeastern military
zone, not only has woman press
agent, but a pretty one, to see that
the generals campaign against the
Villa forces receives proper attention
from the Mexican and American bor-
der newspapers.
She is Senorita Teresa Rodriguez,
daughter of a prominent Mexican pol
itician of Mexico City, who came north
soon after General Castro was re-
lieved from active duties as sub-sec-
rotary of war to conduct campaign
against the bandits in the north. Sc
norita Rodriguez does not speak a
word of English, yet she succeeded
in having her photograph and a
sketch of General Castro printed in
all the American border papers as
soon as she arrived in Chihuahua City,
to begin her publicity campaign for
the Mexican commander.
Yet Senorita Rodriguez said, in her
most liquid Spanish, she did not wish
to exert what the Americans called
"petticoat influence" to get her stories
printed.
why should not the Mexican adopt
the best the Americans have origi-
nated?" she said at military head
quarters to the Associated Press cor
respondent.
"The much-abused press agent has
served a very useful purpose in pre-
senting to the public the good fea-
lures of every worthy movement, ev-
cry campaign conducted by military
or political leaders, and even your
President Wilson recognized this when
he appointed director of publicity
General Castro does not order me
to have his deeds and pictures pub
lished, although he has done many
brave deeds and is a striking military
man. What he instructs me to do,
especially on the American side of the
border, is to correct many false i'm
pressions subsidized Mexican papers
have given the American public about
Mexican and the internal conditions.
In doing this l feel I am serving my
country snd, besides, ! enjoy the
work"

among small farmers and ranchers is
expected to be presented by President
the Mexican congress. 1t is proposed
to organize agricultural colonies with
state support and supervision in the
states of Coahuila, Nueva Leon, CHA

Omaha daily bee., 1919-08-31
BY PHILLIP F. BROSS.

With the enactment by the last
legislature Of the civil administrative
code, and in consolidation and
Reorganization by Governor Nickel
vie OF the departments, boards and
commissions coming under this
code, Nebraska takes . leading place
among state governments in cen
tralixed administrative organization
and in the application of business
methods to state business.
The basic features of the code are
the provision Of simple, responsible
organization and up to date admins
strative methods for the depart
nents under the governor, supplant-
Ing the confused, irresponsible and
multifarious commission and board
organizations. Briefly, the main
purpose Of the last legislature in re-
organizing these departments and by
the governor in the installation Of
business methods is to assure and
encourage the doing of the work in
the state departments, present and
future, in responsible economical
and efficient manner.
The enactment OF the code and
he organization of the departments
10 not in any way add to the powers
,f the governor. None Of the con-
,titutional offices and commissions
are in any way affected, nor are any
constitutional changes involved.
Any changes in the constitutional
offices and commissions as might
be made, require action on the part
Of the legislature in amending the
constitution after the citizens of the
state have had opportunity to pass
on such changes.
The rapid increase in expenditures
in state governmental administra-
tion has been due partly to the
extension Of the states functions
and services, and partly to the abb
sence Of business-like organization
and proper administrative and finan-
Omaha daily bee., 1919-08-31

will have the effect of considerably
reducing the number OF positions re-
quired on this work. This bureau,
as we'll as the central purchasing bu-
reau, is to be established in accord
ance with the provisions of the code
and on cooperative basis between
the six departments. r.
One of the important changes to
be made within the next 80 days is
that Of the method of paying off the
employees. Under the present sys-
tenn, each employe makes out Q
voucher each month for the salary
due him, and after the approval and
reapproval of such voucher through
various departments, a warrant is
issued by the state auditor to each
individual employe, by which the
employe obtains his salary. The
department of finance now plans to
have departmental payrolls made
out in its Office for all employees and
after proper certiheation on the part
of the respective department. heads,
the employees warrants will be made
out by the auditor directly from the
payrolls. The Capitalization of pay
roll preparation will reduce consid-
erably the number of records and
the amount Of time spent by the in
dividual employees. Thus. the 500 or
more voucheks made out each month
by employees will be reduced to six,
or at the most 10 departmental pay
roll vouchers.
Purchasing Department Centralized.
Another important function of the
department OF finance is that of the
purchasing of stationery and office
supplies for the various depart
ments. Under the code this de-
partment will establish = central
purchasing bureau through which
purchases of supplies, materials and
equipment for all the departments
will be made. The central purehas-
ing plan will permit of standard
ization of purchases, the buying in
larger quantities and at lower costs,
and will increase the facilities to
both departments and concerns in
the obtaining, bidding and furnish
Omaha daily bee., 1919-08-31

a state budget to the legislature, en-
bracing therein the amounts recon-
mended by him to be appropriated
to the respective departments for all
purposes, as we'll as a statement Of
the estimated revenues from taxa
ton, the estimated revenues from
sources other than taxation, and an
estimate of the amount required to
be raised by taxation. Together
with this budget, the governor will
also transmit estimates of receipts
and expenditures as received by the
secretary of finance Of the elective
Offices in the executive and judicial
departments, and the University Of
Nebraska and all other schools and
institutions.
Before any appropriation of the
legislature becomes available for ex-
penditure, each department under
the code is required to submit to
the department of finance an esti-
mate of the amount required for
each activity to be carried on, and an
account will be kept and reports
rendered to each department show
ing expenditures for each such pur-
pose. 1t will be seen that under the
uniform and centralized accounting
method. the department of finance
thus will not only be able to main
tain control of expenditures, but will
be in a position to supply detailed
and comparative information to the
legislature and to the governor and
departments.
Control Of Expenditures.
A uniform system of accounting
for expenditures will be established
by the department of finance for all
departments. To reduce duplication
in financial accounting and to obtain
control over the expenditures the
bureau of accounts and payrolls in
the department of finance will take
over the financial accounting work
now being done in each of the other
departments. This will relieve the
departments Of hnahcial accounting
details, will eliminate the separate
departmental books of account and
