that of Mr.. Good, chiefly, in placing the
budget bureau under the secretary Of
the treasury, who is made strictly
financial officer and divested Of extra
neous functions, such as administration
Of public buildings and public health
service, and in empowering the budget
bureau to reduce departmental appro-
priation estimates.

Harvard Boy Prodigy
Gave Answer to All
Problems in a Flash

Cambridc, Mass, Feb. Is
Every few years the entrance or
graduation of some precocious youth
at Harvard is reported.
Among some old records looked
over yesterday there appeared a re-
port of some of the feats accom-
plished by the brain of Truman
Henry Stafford, Harvard, "a.
Stafford, who stands out promi-
nently among the Harvard prodigies
of the last century, required but two
years at the college to finish his
course, graduating in 1854.
When he was still very young,
someone put a problem to him as
follows: Suppose a man were born
at a certain time Che named the
exact second OF birth and the hour,
day month and YEAR,, how old. y
seconds, would he be at noon to
day."
Stafford lay on his back for few
seconds and rolled, then jumped to
his feet and gave his result.
Wrong" cried the proposer of
the problem, as he drew carefully
prepared calculation from his own
pocket.
Stafford looked at the result on the
paper in the hand of the man and
said: ooh. you have forgotten the
leap years."
