The States finances, at the end

tions of every kind, both special
and general, are paid, there will
- be shown to be in the treasury to
the credit of the State SITS, ,692 .33,
and, according to the estimate of
the Comptroller, there will be a
net surplus of s1,O2S,040.33 at the
end Of the fiscal year, September
80, 1920, Notwithstanding the fact
that the public schools received
for 19191920 s25O,00O more than
ever before as regular appropria-
tion, and $150,OOO as a special ap-
preparation out of the general
treasury, and that 100000 addi-
tional appropriation was made for
State aid to roads and s19e,006
more to meet the upkeep and
maintenance of State roads.
Maryland's budget syst en- is the
model for most of the State
budgets and it's main principles
are proposed for the national

Watch Your Step, Street Car!

The motor bus to-day is coming TO
the fore as a challenger of the surface
car in traffic problem which grows
increasingly complicated. There as no
denying it, Public utility corporations
throughout the country are in a seri-
GUS financial condition which means
increased fares. In thickly populated
sections, traction lines are becoming
more and more inadequate to handle
congestion that is increasing every day.
Since the amount of traffic street
cars can handle. is limited by the tracks
on which they run, it is impossible for
them to keep up with the growing
needs OF transportation without new
tracks. But the increasing congestion
of pripatelv,owned vehicles on the
highways prohibits this and increasing
population demands increased transpor-
tation facilities.
The motor bus may not only solve
this serious traffic problem but also
provide the public with a more fiex-
ible mode of transportation at lower
cost. If more tracks cannot be laid
in the business and residential see
tions of most large cities, there being
no room for them. it Is selfevident
that motor buses need no tracks. II
traffic is constantly increasing and may
eventually reach a point whore the
streets are unable TO contain it, it Is
likewiee true that busses would not
block highways to any such degree as
do surfacevcars They can detour a
blockade. They can move about easily
in ali directions. The Nations Bust

OUR CoNGENIAL NAVY.
What an Ex-Reservist Thinks About

The principle of get together Is the
business mans idol. He knows that
his profits depend on team work. The
more cooperation in his organization
the greater his success.
This is true whether in business, in
athletics or in warfare. An interest
ing study in team work was found in
the L. S. navy. Two distinct classes,
the reserve force and regulars, were
thoroughly mixed INTO the navy, and
worked together in such a way as to
make an absolutely homogeneous or
ganlzation,
a young Chicago manufactures, who
Is known for his ability at develop
ino team work, both while in college on
the athletic teams and afterwards in
business, was talking on this subject
recently.
when the war first started ] Joined
the L. s. naval reserve force without
very much idea of just what was
getting into. My main idea was to
take a crack at the German subma
rine. / went to Great Lakes for few
months and then east TO a destroyer
crew. / guess ] was pretty green, but
the fellows on that boat helped me to
learn and there was enough work to
do to keep every hand busy
at didn't occur 10 me that there was
ANYTHING unusual about it all until the
war was over. We were working 50
hard we didn't think about it, ] guess.
But it was really the greatest exam
pie Of cooperation the country has
ever seen.
"There were at the end Of the war
about 2750O0 reserves and 100000 reg
ulars. and vet those men worked to-
gethrr all the time and with no more
friction than il they had all been sea
farers for life. The regulars were
largely the older men, the men who
knew the navy, while the reserves were
frankly interested in the navy only for
the war.
"The personnel Of our destroyer 40.
,illas were at least 80 per cent reserv-
lists. Usually the captain would be a
, regular The officers and crews of these
ships would be isolated for weeks at a
| time. Under such conditions a green
hand can cause good deal of bother
and be the object of considerable dis
c,Ission. But our destroyer service
/ was one Of the happiest. On shore lib.
erty the men travelled together in crews
rather than classes.
Reserve officers found that Annap.
oils graduates were regular fellows and
many permanent friendships were
made on board ship between the men
