TOO MUCH FOR GRANDMOTHER
Mathematical Problem, Old Lady De-
cided, Was Something That mo
Fellow Could Understand"

The little girl at the elementary
school had been promoted to multi
plication and for her home work was
set the task of finding out how many
legs 400 normal horses possess. A bit
puzzled as how to work it out, in
the evening, as she sat with her exer-
else book in front of her, she called in
the services of her grandmother.
Lets see," said Grandma, adjusting
her spectacles, zone horsell have four
legs, two eight, three twelve, four six
teen, five twenty" and then she
broke off. 'How many horses did you
say? she asked.
-Four hundred, granny" replied the
little girl.
Zee, child" said the old lady, shut
ting up the book, there isn't one liv-
ing could do that sum. "-Edinburgh

LESSER EVIL, AS IT WERE
Darkys Excellent Reason for Pre-

With the Bear,

A New York man tells of an excit-
ing bear hunt in Mississippi. The
bear was surrounded in small cane
thicket. The dogs could not get him
out, and the gentleman who was at
the head of the hunting party called
to one of the darkies:
Gus, go in there and get that bear
out"
Gus hesitated for moment and
then plunged into the cane. A few
moments later the negro, the bear and
the dogs were rolling on the ground
outside. After the hunt was over the
man from the north said to the darby:
"Gus, weren't you afraid to go into
that thicket with the bear?"
Colonel" said Gus, ut was jest dis
way: I neber had met dat bear but l
was pussunally acquainted with de old
boss, so 1 jest nachurally took dat

WHY GOOD MEN QUIT

Go today into the Treasury depart
ment, the Department of Agriculture,
the Department of Commerce, or into
any other establishment of the govern
ment doing important technical work,
and they will tell you that their chief
difficulty is to retain competent en-
ployees in the supervisory and tech
meal positions. Their turnover Is alb
normally high in these positions.
Every day men leave the service
to accept private employment at ma
terially increased salaries, so that the
departments are continuously going
through process of selecting and
training executives and technical en-
ployees, only to lose them, as they be-
come really valuable, on account of
the inadequacy of their compensation.
The second factor which contrib
utes to the present ineffectiveness of
the government as business estab-
lishment Is found in the improper or
ganization of the executive branch of
You are familiar, at least in general
way, with the defects of the present
administrative machinery.
You know for example, that the In
terror department now has jurisdiction
over great number of bureaus of a
miscellaneous character that have
nothing TO do with each other or with
the functions which the Interior de-
partment was originally established to
perform.
You know that many agencies have
been located in the Treasury depart
ment, the great fiscal department of
the government, which are purely nom
fiscal in character, such as the coast
guard, the public health service, the
supervising architects Office and the
bureau of war risk insurance.
You know that the great bulk of
the civil public works of the govern
ment are executed under the super
vision of the War department, although
the bureau of public roads is located
in the Department of Agriculture, and
the reclamation service in the Depart
ment of the Interior.
You know, furthermore, of the in
dependent existence outside the juris-
diction Of any of the great executive
departments of some 40-odd boards,
commissions, offices and bureaus.
These are merely examples of con-
dition that would require volumes TO
describe fully, but it is generally
known that the executive branch of the
government is at the present time IL
logically and uneconomically organ
tied in many important particulars.
1t should be remembered. however,

VIEW OF THE EMPLOYEE

The employees are recruited under
law which provides test of
qualifications, and probably nine-tenths
Of the rank and file have satisfactorily
passed the entrance test. But the
better positions, say from $4,000 up
ward, are usually occupied by political
appointees. Another considerable
group of employees get their appoint
ments by executive order, waving
civil-service tests Of fitness.
The newcomer in the service, there
fore, finds himself up against mini
mum of opportunity for promotion,
with the disheartening knowledge that
the advancement which is earned by
competence is all too likely to be given
to the friend or political supporter Of
some congressman or executive who
wishes to pay political debt And
the employee Is subject to dismissal
at the will Of the executive of his de-
partment, unless he can bring sufficient
political influence to bear.
In other words, the civil-service law
is not backed up by enforcing power in
the Civil Service commission. 1t
merely recruits the applicants for en-
trance. Thereafter the employees
fate is largely matter of his own
luck and negative passive merit. There
is no system by which he may be
fitted to the job, and no protection
against dismissal, unless the employee
himself can show that the reason is
ri he
of the service" as the law reads,
covers every other charge which the
executive official may bring. There is
no court of appeal.
Such is the oppressive, lncentiveless,
vitiating atmosphere of the govern
ment service. 1t STILES initiative,
illustrates ambitions and reduces the
mass Of employees to more or less
passive state, which is permeated by
a sense of fear.
In such an atmosphere, naturally
enough the physical conditions of en-
ployment are far from what they
should be, and the government loses
efficiency, as does any other employer
where the wage scale Is inadequate
and unstandardized. where sanitary
conditions are bad and hours of work
too long and irregular.
The wage scale is so low that the

that even with an ideal personnel and
perfect organization it is doubtful
if the high degree of economy and
efficiency that characterizes private
business can ever be attained in the
government Offices This is so because
economies made by government ofti-
Gals are not transformed into divi-
dends for themselves as they are In
private business.
There is an impression in congress
and throughout the country that men
of great ability are not found in gov
eminent service; that the salaries are
not sufficient to attract and hold them.
On the contrary, there are great
many people of distinguished ability
in the government service. One Is
more and more impressed by that fact,
especially since the war sent to Wash
ington so many men of large means
and famous names with whom the
government employees could be COM
pared. The comparison was time and
again TO the advantage Of the govern
ment employee. But the salaries are
not the attraction; it is the work It.
self. This is we'll understood by some
eminent observers OF public life. Sec
rotary of State Hughes declared him
self as follows before the advisory
committees Of the war risk insurance
bureau:
1t has been my experience that with
the higher officers, the officers or greater
institutions where efficiency is rewarded
by public representation-while the field
is q limited one because of the great OPP
portunity to men of ability-it is still en-
tirely possible to draw to the public serV-
! ice men of great ability and distinction,
because of the desire to render public
service and the number of mem Who are
available for that purpose, while reia-
lively small, is still sufficient if the ap-
pointing officer wants men of that class.
In order to obtain them, however, ne
must give a free field. He must not In
terfere as to political action to control
administration tendencies and must per-
| NIT them to be given the reward which
a well-conducted office of importance Will
| give to it's incumbent in the public esti-
| nation.
| Now the difficulty increases when you
pass those heads that get the credit and
| come to the technical expert who has
| got to do the regular work and upon
whose efficiency the operation of the de-
partment finally depends. These men are
| little known. The public hasn't time even
| to learn their names. They are interested
in work to degree of being willing to
| make sacrifices.
There is active competition for men of
| brains and great ability of that sort, and
the government will never be served I'M
| less it pays the price for those men. Now
| 1 think that is plain situation. You
| may be able to get director in the bu-
| reau of war risk insurance for 5000 q
year, or for nothing at all, but you can
not get an actuary. You cannot get in
! surance men. You cannot get superin-
tendents That would be my judgment

THOUGHT 1T LOOKED STRANGE
Odd Appearance of Drug Store AS

The woman needed three ounces OF
tincture of myrrh. Hurrying up the

mammoth bottles of apothecary VIZ
tiers, and two swinging door of
frosted glass.
Down she stepped-three steps
down-into as attractive a drug store
as she had seen. All was pure white

cleaning soda water accessories an0
row upon row of shelves filed with
bottles of ointments, camphors and

Redistribution of the service. Con-
oitions are very different now, both
in regard to the functions of offices
and the cost of living, from what they
were when positions in the govern
ment service were first CLASSIFIED and
salaries assigned to those positions.
1t struck me that an interested party
in this inquiry into how the govern
ment conducts it's business was the
employee himself. He ought to know
from actual daily experience some
thing about the mechanism of the
national business and the relations be-
tween the working force and employer.
1t was clearly impossible to talk to
the more than 100000 men and women
who work for the government, but l
learned that between $4,000 and co.
goo of them are banded together in an
association called the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees. 1t is a
regular labor union, and is affiliated
with the American Federation Of
eminent workers, technical and
scientific men, as we'll as clerks and
unskilled workers.
/ asked the president of this en-
ployees' union, Luther G. Steward, If
he and his associates were authorized
to speak for all its membership. He
assured me that they were.
So asked him to tell me about the
conditions of government employment
and how the business was carried on.
l am glad l did, for what he told
me discloses not only facts, but q
state Of mind existing among the en-
ployees which necessarily must be
taken into account in any considera-
ton of the efficiency and management
Of our common business. Here then
Is what the employees, who speak
through Mr.. Steward, have to say, and
the constructive program they present
for the improvement of the service:

consists of about 100000 men and
women engaged In the operation of an
Anticipated patched-up machine. Be-
cause of the durability of its vital
