the answer as 740 total, of whom 223

a plan by which man can secure a

cents where it formerly cost him Sc.
THE plan provides that the man

nothing more; it saves expense and does
not clutter up the mails Letters from
civil engineers throughout the country
have been received thanking the bureau
for its thoughtfulness in this matter
He also figured out how many square
feet of building a charwoman could
keep clean, and has provided closed re-

and other vermin are practically starved

EvEN in the early days of the bu-
- reau there was high morale,
and. despite the handicaps occasioned
by insufficient appropriations and the
lack. of fulfllment of promises for
adequate salaries, the men, for sheer
love Of their work and devotion to
country have never faltered in giving
the best that was in them to the
service. Whether their work took
of = the Mississippi delta. the Hn-
healthy parts of the Philippine Is
lands. the frozen wastes of Alaska
or the rock-ribbed coast of New Eng
land, they never faltered. An order
comes; they throw together the nee
essary articles Of clothing, carefully
pack their instruments and answer
the call Of duty. In 1861. the begin
ming Of the civil war. the survey was
made use of both by the Army and
Navy, not only in securing infOrma-
tion, but also for making feconnais-
sances and soundings and placing
buoys and plotting in interior waters.
In nearly every active operation there
were members Of the survey attached
to headquarters, many Of the survey
officers receiving special mention for
gaHantry. Again in the: late wal the
survey. was called upon to furnish a
number of its trained officers for serv-.
ice with the Navy and with the Army,
while the work of the office, as
whole, was concentrated on furnish
Ing surveys and maps demanded by
the military and naval authorities.
The services rendered by this impor-
tant branch of the government are
xar-reaching and extremely impor-
tant. We will deal first with the
services pertaining to commerce.
