Budget Bureau and with the coOpera-

ly amount TO s3.Ts5. OO0. 900. a re-
duetion Of sT55.O0O.OO9 from the
figure submitted By the departments
at the beginning OF the fiscal year.
The FIRST budget submitted in De-
cembe- indicated a deficit for this
game fiscal year OF s24.00O.0O0 How
successful the efforts of the admins
tratiOn have been in holding down
expenditures and conserving revenue
is attested BY the fact that instead
Of a dedcit there was a surplus for
the year Of S314.0O0.eOO.
The total public debt Of the United
States on June 80 1921. one year
ago. was S23.s77 100000. This sum
had been reduced on June 80. 1922.
TO fZ2.9s3.OOO.O0O. a reduction Of
s1.014OOO.O0O
The policy OF the administration
has been a return to normal condi-
tions In public expenditures How
well this has been accomplished is
amply reflected by glance at the ex-
penditure figures Of preceding years.
The Republican party gained con-
trol Of the Congress in the elections
OF 1918 and came into power in Con-
gress on March 4. 1919
During the period the administra-

actual cost of running the government
for the fscal year just ended June

nual saving Of sl.743, 600 .OO0 which the
Republican administration has made
in the routine expenditures of the gov
ernment This was possible because
the Republican Congress early in its
special session re-enacted a budget law
which the previous Republican Con-
gress had passed only to have Dem
ocratic President veto it. II was easi
ly the most important piece of bust
ness legislation which has been en-
acted within this generation. After
its enactment it was sensibly applied
by the executive officers OF the Re
publican administration.
The work of Congress, the wise sd-
ministrative policies and the introduc-

partments in the conduct of public

Evidence Of the value OF the cen

fact that Congress appropriated for

Budget Bureau requested In other
words although frequently charged
with being the spendthritt branch Of
the government. in point Of fact the
Congress appropriated seven per cent.

for.

have Just reason to be proud Of the
financial record Of this administra.
ton. While other countries are
struggling With huge deficits in their
budgets and are burdened With enor'
nous taxes and staggering public
debt. the United States has shown a
surplus for the fiscal year just closed
and at the same time accomplished a
most gratifying reduction in its pub.

Time Divisions.

THAT Ave times twelve is sixty
L seems to have been the part of
the multiplication table most in the
mind Of the ancient Babylonians, from
whom our divisions Of the day have
come They are supposed to have
divided the hours into sixty minutes
and the minute into sixty seconds be-
cause sixty can be divided by two,
three, four or FIVE. They divided the
suns daily journey iato twenty-feur
parasangs. or hours, upon the pleasant
fiction that the sun would travel a
parasang in that length of time, or
about the distance which a good
walker covered on the ground.
A British scholar thinks he has
found in some old Mesopotamian in
scriptions additional light concerning
the Babylonian units OF time. They
f1rst divided the day, so ne thinks.
into twelve double hours. and made
five days. or sixty double hours, their
larger measure OF duration. Twelve
periods OF five days made double
month.
The present system OF dividing the
day was brought into Greece centu-
ries before the Christian era Thus
one of the earliest accomplishments
Of misunderstanding the time OF
day-comes down in unbroken d.
scent from the builders of the palaces
Of Babylon.
Within recent years there has been
some consideration Of . plan to sub
stitute for tho familiar clock dial an
indication Of hours and minutes by
|. figures, as on the sp&edometer OF q
motor car or the cyclometsr OF a
bicycle. Mechanically this would be
! feasible. In railway stations. where
the time Of departure was formrely
indicated by a dial. the tendency IL
now to use the simple figures. But 1t
, is hard 70 see how such q clock could
be made a. ornamental as the present
