Government Expense Grows,

even before the war men were i'm
pressed by the continued increase in
the expenses of city, state and national
government The activities of govern
ment have multiplied rapidly during
recent years-more rapidly than was
warranted. When the state or nation
decided to take on some new function
instead of fitting it into some agency
of government already established, it
usually created some entirely new
body. Sometimes it was an official,
oftener it is a board or a commits
sion.
"The commission came to be a very
popular form. 1t provided good places
for aspirants to office, and, being a
law unto itself, the members could at
tend to their private affairs and give
one or two days a month-usually
about the time the ~payrolls were made
up-to the public service. When once
commissions were created, it was al
most impossible to abolish them. There
is nothing more difficult in govern
ment than to get rid of a lucrative Of
flee once establihsed. This practice
had become quite general and Illinois
was no exception.
40 Government Departments.
at is said that there are 10 depart
ments Of government at Washington.
That is so only in name. In fact, there
are many times 10 independent and
practically unrelated agencies of gov
eminent there. No department under
these circumstances can avoid becom-
ing rigid and law-bound, and red
tape necessarily becomes the rule. If,
instead, the department were author.

dinates, the red tape would largely
disappear. The responsible head would
have power commensurate with his
responsibility. Instead of a deac
mass, you would have a living organ.

THE DIVIDING UP PROCESS

Herbert Hoover on behalf of the l.
S. Government is offering to assist
starving Russia.
Is starvation the result of Com
munism? 1t looks very much that
way.
Dividing up the other fellows prop
erty is all right so long as there Is
anything to divide. but in a short time
there is nothing left for division,
After wealth has been d~issipated
and industries destroyed, there Is no
fuel left to feed either the industrial
or human machine. While a new start
is being made from nothing millions
starve.
In a mild form we have seen the
result of Communism in u taxation
and labor system in this nation.
The dividing up process which heavy
surtaxes and excess profits were sup
posed to accomplish simply killed de-
velopment of new sources of wealth
and prevented employment.
The radical labor theory of curtali-
ing production and increasing pay in
order to give work to more persons
at higher wages has at length caused
widespread unemployment due to the
fact that few persons can afford to
hire labor.
Commenting on the Russian situa,
ton the San Francisco Bulletin says
Carlyle was right: A lie a be
passed from man to man, but no mar
IAN pass a lie on to nature. The liz
of communism has been passed from
lin to lip, from cunning brains to the
brains of ignorant people, but whe'
the Russian people tried to pass ma
lie on to nature, back came the ans
wer in millions of starving men, won
en- and children"
Our people can learn a wonderful
lesson from Russia today and prof.
by its experience as we try to hel
her people. The price of the lesso
to Russia has been appalling, but ma
ture has a way of teaching in a lar
guage that admits of no mistakes.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Rare wines and
liquors valued at $4,000, the property
of Warren C. Spurgin, fugitive presi-

the seizure it was said that a federal

in America have been heavy enough to
be of real concern to the people. Now
all is changed. There is not a do
nestle question into which some con-

for the resumption of production in
which some phase of the taxation

PAINTED SHIPS ON PAINTED

In Portland harbor are five steel
ships, owned by America and con-

board.
In San Francisco harbor there are
so. and in Baltimore harbor 500, etc,
etc.-Portland, Ore, Journal.
Yes, and they will be there so long
as the Gompers-Fureseth dictatorship
writes the laws and dictates the terms
on which the ships, if they ever move,
may be operated. But we are a rich
nation. To make it pleasant for our
political masters we can do without
ship masters and most of our 5000
vessels, Quilt with the taxpayers
money! are as idle as a fleet of paint
ed ships on a painted ocean. 1t costs
500, 900, 900 a year now to keep the
ships idle.
The Shipping Board cannot operate
them and cannot get anyone to buy
them. 1t asks another 1925, 900 ,O0C
merely for incidental expense. Why
not make a present of them to the
Gompers-F ureseth combination thai

NEW Al BIG SISTERS CLUB
"Mothercraft" is Basic Idea of Or
ganization Recently Formed in
Massachusetts.

"Mothercraft" is the basic idea Of
the All Big Sisters club which has re-
Gently been organized in Beverly,
Mass, through the effort of the State
club leader. Some of these girls who
joined this new club had already had
"mothercraft' lessons through the baby
welfare nurse and were able to demon
strate how to battle very young baby.
Home visits were made by the club
leader to have the real mother under
stand exactly what the club was for
to teach the older girls how to care
for the youngest children.
The members brought their Club
children" to the first meeting of the
health center to be weighed and meas
ured. One girl had little brother,
fifteen months old, another brother
eighteen months; there were three
younger sisters five years old, and one
girl had twin sisters two and half
years old that she had cared for since
their birth. The "big sisters" club in
cludes a knowledge of washing and
bathing the children, dressing them,
putting child to bed, and suitable en-
tertainment. They are taught how to
keep record and asked to report
on the games played with their Chill
dren." The making of simple Christ
mas toys is also taught.

Every woman who makes garments
for herself longs for dress form, If
she does not already possess one, and,
If she does, she regards 1t as one OF
the most necessary pieces OF sewing
equipment that she has. 1t is very
difficult to fit oneself. When the arms
are moved to change pin or bas-
ting which needs adjusting, the fit of
the whole garment is changed, and
the filter does not know where the
right place is for the seam or the trim
ming. A dress form or Betty, as 1t
is often called does away with this
difficulty, but because of the expense
of the commercial ones few women in
the past have felt they could afford
10 own one.
Garment making clubs are among
the most popular of the many organ
lied by the home demonstration agents
who are sent out by the United States
Department of Agriculture, and their
members are learning easier and bet
ter ways of dressmaking. The exten-
sion workers soon discovered that the
farm woman who attempts to do part
or all of her own sewing-and the ma
jority of them do-encOunters the
most difficulty in fitting the garments
and adjusting the trimming. What
she needs is dress form, and since
dress forms are beyond the means of
the larger number, the home demon
stration agents had to set their wits
to work and invent n homemade sub
stitute.
Kinds of Dress Forms.
Today thousands of these home
made dress forms are in use in the
rural and small town homes of this
country. In Merrimac county, N. H.,
II communities have organized them
selves, for the purpose of making
dress forms. This means that the ma
jority of women in that county will
have one of these conveniences.

RICE FLOUR USED TO

Suggested for Making Various
Breads and Cakes.
Not Suitable Alone on Account OF

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Rice flour may be used in various
kinds of breads, cakes and cookies, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture suggests. Because of the lack of
gluten, rice flour alone is not suitable
for making bread, but bread of good
texture may be made from mixed
wheat and rice flour. Rice flour is also
an excellent substitute for wheat in
waffles and certain kinds of cookies
and cake.
