"Of course It does" said Uncle Ned,

Janus was the god who stood for the
beginning OF all things. He could look
with anger or with favor upon all
projects started. and so the fate OF a
new undertaking was really In his
hands. The first month of the year
was named in his honor so that he
could preside over the beginning OF
the year and start things well on theii
way"
"But why has he two faces?" asked
Tom.
"His two faces enable him TO lool

SIX COMMANDMENTS FOR
TIE MODERN CAPITALIST
Employers and Workers IN
Spain Receive Them.

JEREz DE IA FRoNrERA, Spain, June
19.-Six commandments for the modern
capitalist were laid down in an address
here to-day before gathering compris-
ing representatives of all the societies
Of employers and workers. They were
as follows:
First-To give an example to others
and not content himself with life of
ease.
Second--Not to despise the efforts of
the workers to improve tseir condi-
ton.
Third-1o use mis- wealth in a natural
way by employing it to increase the
prosperity of all
F'ourth-To apply himself to produc-
ton for the general benefit, instead of
thinking duty is fulfilled by regular
churchgoing and the saluting of the
national flag, while at the same time he
appropriates the major portion OF the
products of the earth.
Fifth-To respect the associations OF
the workers.
Sixth--To avoid the adoption OF vio-
,lence, because repression engenders rev.
olution.

There is no reason" Mr.. Brown eN-

this activity should not be put under one
head. Forces of detectives then could

il was required of them. Furthermore,
the fact that information gathered by
one branch would then become available
for another would be of advantage.
Mr. Brown, like all other members OF
the Congressional joint committee on re-
organization is conservative in his state
ments regarding what can be accom-
plished in the way OF saving. Whiie
there is the utmost confidence that a
million dollars day can be saved, yet
that is a minimum and not a maximum.
IL it is possible to save two millions

The committee is not yet sufficiently
into the wofk to give any highly
reliable prediction as to the probable
results. SO far it has been possible only
