When you hoard money away you assist in stiflng the

The trees in thickly settled streets need special to

been killed by hard pavements through which the water

The government employees something like 10000 girls
as stenOgraphers and typiss. Their average pay is
$1,000 year.
A treasury expert estimates that each OF these
girls up one hour day in prmping during working
hours. 1t pains the expert to think that the government
pays them $6000O00 year in salaries for which it re-
ceives return
Should the girls be docked for the time they consume
in prmping and powdering their noses? Possibly they
should Not even the should be expected to
pay for services that not rendered.
But let's start right and dock impartialy.
Is there man in the government employ who really
works his eight hours each day!
As matter of fact, don't the majority of them loaf
from to three hours every day? Call it two hours as
fair example. Include among the number the gentle
manly expert who would dock the girls for keeping them
selves beautiful for our benefit
Now do some brilliant figuring, MI, Expert and
tell us the result.
Save $6000000 year? You bet! By including the
male loafers it would be nearer a hundred millions
Sure thing! Turn the switch and start the official
docket to working. But soak the big guns and chief
oafers first.
