Blondes and Glasses
Now we know what is the matter
with blondes. All the time We had
been going through life thinking it
was just peroxide.
But no, they need glasses. Not beer
glasses or wine glasses-they have had
those right along until recently--but
eye glasses. Plain glasses will do un-
der ordinary conditions. but tortoise

should insist upon two pair-one for
the lady and one for himself.

CONTROLLER GENERAL
STARTS TO CUT FORCE

Cutting of the forces of the office of
the controller general of the United
States has started. Notices have been
served on 145 employees that their
services are no longer needed by the
government. Controller General Nc
Carl said today that the cutting would
be continued until the office was on
an efficient basis, and would not stop
until he was certain that the number
of employees was down to the point
where the work could be carried on
without delay.
The current appropriation for this
office, he said, makes it necessary
that 500 employees be dismissed i'm
mediately, but when this number has
been reached the discharges will con-
tinue if it is found that by speeding

He pointed out that he was not dis
posed to lower the numbers in his Of
flee to the extent of forcing those
who remain to rush the work, but
those who remain must work just as
hard as they would if employed by a
private corporation efficiently run.
At the same time, he pointed out that
he found there were entirely too
many employees in his office, and that
expenses could be cut down mate
rally.
Those who are being discharged, he
said, are people who came into the
Office during the expansion of forces
incident to the increase of work on
account of the war. Principally, they
are temporary employees, who knew
when they came in that their jobs
were not permanent.
Efficiency also is playing a large
part in making the selections of those
who must go, and those who, by their
work, have shown a disposition to
give the government a dollars work
