Washington. ID. c., July 6.
After a holiday lull three new efforts
toward Government economy were
made to-day. They were:
Gen. Charles G. Dawes, Budget
Director, ordered the first compre-
hensive Government inventory ever
taken with view to gathering-up
and utilizing or disposing Of Gov
ernment property left over from the
war. This second hand material
will have to be drawn by requisition
officers in place of new supplies.
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Blair began a new check to collect
delinquent taxes, bringing up Gov
ernment receipts and for simplifca-
ton of methods which will reduce
cost of collections.
Theodore Roosevelt. Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, defined a
retrenchment policy which provides
for sale or utilization of all dead
material, even including old battle
ships.
For Elimination of Waste.
Director Dawes began cutting down
on unnecessary Government purchases of
supplies by issuing strict orders to all
Government heads to institute an i'm
mediate survey of their establishments.

to return to the Government supply COM
mittee, for proper disposition. materials
and supplies that are not being en-
ployed efficiently.
Director Dawes's orders marked the
first big step In execution of the econ
omy programme to eliminate tremendous
waste of public funds in promiscuous
spending for supplies by Government
purchasing officers.
This step it was made plain by Direc-
tor Dawes. is necessary to conserve ex-
isting appropriations and protect the
Government against reckless spending
for equipment which is not actually USE
full in the conduct Of public business.
The orders stipulate that bureau
heads hereafter will be restricted in
their acquisitions for supplies to such
articles as fall within the classification
OF standard contract articles. Govern.
ment officials will not be allowed, Gen
Dawes said, to place orders for fancy
or unusual types OF furniture or other
materials IL it is possible to meet the
needs Of the public business with other
types Of equipment which may be just as

that apples were from eight to nine

other three to four, while another tree
was not thinned at all This was re-
peated three times. Results show
that the unthinned trees have scarce

three to four class have large part
unmarketable, while the trees on
which the apples were left from five
to six inches apart show a good mar

Around 1929 of all car owners

Why, then, are they offered

"retreads" and other so-called
bargains of uncertain origin?

ways seeks out quality. AS a
