The great period Of time necessary to

to that country as beverage.
= The first coffee sold in England was
put on the market in 1852 by Pasqua Rosee

For twenty years a campaign of great
violence was conducted against coffee.

creation of liquidation board to coordinate
the sale of all surplus property, to provide
for transfers between various governmental
agencies, to weld the sales activities of the
several departments into federal business
association and to install practical business
methods. A total of $50, 900 was turn
ed into the treasury during the fiscal year
just closed from the sale of supplies and it
is estimated that sum almost as large will
be realized during the current year.
But this is only part of the story. The
lighthouse service of the department of COM
merce was about to spend $1,5OO,000I fo1
lighthouse tenders. Mine planters purchased
during the war which were idle and prac-
tically valueless were made over into tenders
and the million and half was saved. Dredges
that would have cost $349,500 were requr-
ed by the engineer branch of the army. Sur
plus vessels were transferred from the quar-
termaster corps. There are numerous other
examples of similar economies that come un-
der the head of commCnsense business and the
aggregate saving to Uncle Sam runs into large
hgures. Even more important, perhaps, is
the moral effect on officials and employees who
are seeing that slipshod, hit or miss methods
are no longer in vogue in the federal service
In the matter of government purchasing
the work of coordination has been liksewise
effective. Twenty-six separate and distinct
purchasing agencies in the treasury depart
ment are being consolidated and organized
on an efficiency basis and the same thing has
already been done with. eighteen such agen-
cies in the department of agriculture. In
fact, there was need for reform in this line
in all departments except the navy where
the buying has been done in a thoroughly CO.
ordinated way for some years.
Real Estate Listed
Still another field for the application of
business methods has been found\in dealing
with the real state and rental problem. Neces-
sarily the government owns a vast amount
of realty, wharves, warehouses, storage
buildings, etc., but up to the present time
there has never been a consolidated list of
such property. Ons of the results of this
deficiency, which Is now being remedied, has
been that in the same cities one government
agency had property that was not being
utilized while another rented less desirable
and less suitable space.
Other co-ordinating activities now under
way include federal board of hospitaliza-
ton, federal specifications boards, the re-
striction and control Of government printing
plants and printing, the organization of te1e-
phone and cable op rations and federal
traffic board.
The latter agen1y is especially important
in view Of the fact that the government pays
an annual transportation bill of some $780,
100000 in addition to the expenditures of the
postoffice department for the moving of the
mail. This is a tremendous business in it.
self and yet there has never been any agency
to act for the government as a whole in
supervisory way.

Toms having made the football team at col
lege. Nothing short of fixing them with a
ALTERING and hypnotic eye keeps your au-

No parent can recall ever having been ask
ed to repeat story about the prowess of his
infant prodigies, or requested for further de-
tails about the affairs o. her flapper daugh-
ter, and jellybean son, and that should be a
tip that they are subjects in which the pub
lie is not vitality interested.
Another bore of truly gigantic calber is
the repeater Every family is called upon to
endure this affliction, for no household is so
lucky asfnot to have IT least one member who
tells over, and over the same stories, and the
same jokes, and the same "reminiscences until
everybody else feels like screaming when he
or she launches out upon the familiar theme.
Perhaps when people get old, and senile,
they cannot prevent themselves from inflict-
ing their ofttold tales upon defenseless pub
lie but surely as long as we have even a
moderate use of our intelligence we might
keep tab on ourselves and refrain from telling
story but once.
third bore who does much to reconcile us
to the shortness of life is the one who has a
mania for reading aloud snatches Of the paper,
or who reads paper and tells you everything
in it just after you have read it yourself. Ap-
parently these bores consider you mentally de-
fect1ve, incapable of understanding the pur-
imagines that he is the only individual who
was privileged to zee that particular issue of
publication.
Anyway, they recount to you the news of
the day, and expect you to be startled by it.
They rehash the scandals, and repeat the
jokes, Of which they invariably lose the point.
In vain you try to stay them off by telling
them that you have read half a dozen papers
before breakfast, an that you subscribe to
the funny papers. They go right along and
repeat it all over again, for the bore has no
bowels of compassion that make him stop
talking about the thing he is interested in
because it is wearisome to you.
Twin brother to the reading aloud bore is
the bore who explains the plot of the play at
the theater and tells you which is the viii
lain and which is the hero, and assures you
that it will all come out right in the end, I'M
der the Impression that you are feeble mind
ed, and couldn't figure it out for yourself.
People round about hiss him but without
avail, for nothing stops a bore until he runs
down.
OF course there are many other qualities
that make us difficult to live with, but these
that have mentioned constitute the common,
or garden, variety of bores, and we can all
avoid being one of these If we will.

Business Methods in Govern ment-By Frederic j. Haskn

w. United States government nne is the big big
gest bushes. institution in the
world. 1t was big in the days when Uncle
Joe Cannon replied to criticism of a Billion
dollar Congress" by stating that "this is a
billion dollar country and then adding that
"this country is hell of a success" 1t is
much larger now.
It has no; grown as ordinary business es-
tablshmentss grow by the application of
strictly business methods and principles,
however. It Is not a monument to efficiency
rules and practices. A commercial, indus
trial or financial institution that had attain
ed such proportions would owe its success to
astute and careful management and would
be so organized that it would function like a
Swiss watch. Not so with the United States
government. 1t has grown to it's present
size simply because nothing could stop or re-
tard its growth and in spite Of unbusness-
like methods that would have wrecked a
private enterprise before it got fairly started.
But now all this is being changed. At last
government has come to be regarded as a
business and an earnest effort is being made
to put the conduct of public affairs on a basis
comparable to that which earns dividends in
the every day commercial worlo Moreover,
the effort Is getting results that be
measured in dollars and cents.
Reorganization of the administrative
branch of the government was promised and
undertaken months ago, but it has been de-
and bureau heads. This would not seem to
augur well for the new order of things and
has discouraged come of the ardent advo-
Gates of up-to-date business methods in gov
eminent. However, real progress has been
made in the desired direction through a
series of executive orders requiring co-ordi-
nation and cooperation among officials and
| between agencies that heretofore have acted
| independently.
Just as previous to the installation Of the
| budget system there was no coordination in
estimating and very little in appropriating,
| there was little or no coordination in ex-
pending public funds. AS an illustration the
disposition made of surplus property may be
cited. Each bureau or holding agency was
| carrying on this work in it's way and
amazing as it may seem it is actually true
that at one place the government was selling
at sacrifice supplies that it was buying at
current market prices at another.
Chance for Sharp Practices
Thus it was possible for those who engage
in sharp practices to buy something from one
governmental agency at price below pro-
duction cost and turn around and sell 1t to
another governmental agency at substant-
ial profit Again, instances have heen known
in which one department would purchase
desks and other office furniture while an
other department had a surplus supply of
the identical equipment that was going to
wreck and ruin in storage.
This sort of thing was stopped by the
