Job for Nearest Garage Man.
Now it's the same way with Cali

roads over the Sierra divide into the
paved ways of California, he feels re-

He's been careful for 1000 miles. He
wants to step on 'er. He does. He
hits a sharp turn, and bingo! The
nigh wheels drop into the sand, and
there's a big job for the garage in the
nearest town.
Particularly speaking, let me say
that the man who drives aspeedlng

their high-wage jobs? Do you remem-

smashed up, burned up or were shook

EDUCATION.

THOMAS EDISON, whose ability
L to get space on the first page Of
he newspapers has of late been thor
oughly demonstrated. announces that
the modern college graduate has no
education at all and that there is no
place in his organization for the ig
nOrant.
The trouble with Mr. Edison is that
he has confused education and knowi-
edge. They are entirely different
things.
You can educate a horse or a dog,
but nobody has yet succeeded in Civ
lag them knowledge.
Mr.. Ford, who is warm friend Of
Mr.. Edison. has very little education,
as he proved when questioned under
oath on matters literary and historical,
ana yet no one would deny that he
has knowledge.
Mr.. Edison based his Judgment of
the college graduate of today on the
answers submitted in response to
QUESTIONABLE which he prepared as
test for young men eeklng employ
ment with him
Those same young men, even If they
were only average college men, could
have off-hand prepared a QUESTIONABLE
In answering which Mr.. Edison would
have made a miserable failure.
1t would be no trick ut all for any
well-informed man to write ten qGes-
tons to which MIR Edison could not
furnish 50 per cent technically cor
rect answers.
II you do not believe 1t, or if Mr..
Edison does not believe II, try to write
down without consultation of any
books or seeking information from any
outside source the answers to these:
Who was Pilpayg
What and where is the medulla OBJ
longata?
What point on the earth has neither
latitude nor longitude?
OF what nationality was Columbus?
Which Is the oldest of modern re-
ligions?
IAoN many lttt4 HIS q uoS
How much does Il cubic foot of air
weigh?

How many nations has the earth?

poraries of Voltaireg

tons / naturally chose queries to
which | knew the answers and yet
am not, even as the author of the
queries, certain as to the accurate an
swers to two Of them.

Examiners and Counsel:
Budget Requests Heard

Mayor HYlan yesterday refused to
sanction the reinstatement of a war
veteran to his old place in the Fire De-
partment, despite the fact that the
recommendation was made BY the ex-
amners of the Board of Estimate and
the Corporation Counsel gave the opin-
ION that the veteran should be rein
stated
Recommendation for the reinstate-
ment of Major Charles S. Demarest as
chief of construction was included in
the 1922 budget requests of the Fire
Department. The major entered the
military service during the war after
failing to get leave of absence from
the Fire Department, and without the
consent Of the Mayor. He resigned
from the department after twenty
years service He served overseas and
was promoted to major in the ord
nance department.
Stay Retired, Says Mayor
The Mayors opposition was against
the advice OF Corporation Counsel
O'Brien, who held that special legisla-
tion passed by the last Legislature was
TO enable men of Majo Demarest' 5
value to re-enter the city's service
After listening to the explanation that
the major retired after failing to get
leave to enter the war the Mayor said :
This man retired, and | don't care
how many special acts he got. lie re-
tired. and he'll stay retired -
Several of the 1922 budget requests
of the larger city departments came up
| for consideration by the board
I There we're requests for increases in
salaries in the Law Department. the
/ Health Department and other depart
ments. This fact prompted the Mayor
to warn city employees that they could
expect no increases and had better or
/ ganize and work to save their present
ratings. The Mayor declared no sal
aries would be decreased with his APP
proval. nor would they be increased
He added that there was a movement or
foot by certain interests" tc cut down
the wages of the city workers.
''lnterests" at 1t Again
"There is big fight on by certain
interests" said the Mayor, "to cut
down municipal wages and it is up tC
the employees to concentrate theil
efforts on maintenance Of their pres
ent wages"
The Mayor did not go into details
as to the certain interests" He init
mated, however, that these interests
were entirely outside of the Hylar
administration.

AT the present time the balance
that is left from the operation Of the
elevated lines in the city is also a
deficit. and this deficit would be trans

whose operation yields q good profit is
the city-owned subway system oper-
ated by the lnterborough Rapid Transit
Company. This tystem yields a profit
to the operators Of about $2,600,00 a
year in spite of all extravangances,
bonuses and rake offs
"Under the plan proposed by the
Transit Commission this profit would
be transferred to the holding com
pany, and would be used to offset some
of the vast deficits from the operation
of surface and a. lines
