cannot be predicated at this time. the
above amount is that much of con-
trlbution to more favorable relation.
"This fine response to your request
from the heads of the departments
and independent organizations and bu-
reau chiefs, incidental to your assump-
tion of responsibility as the business
head of governmental administration,
infers the existence in their minds of
three principles involving improve
ment In governmental business, which
should not be overlooked.
First, that the business organiZa-
tion of government hereafter assumes
that the minimum amount of money
to be expended in any fiscal year Is
not, of necessity, the sum appropri-
ated In advance by congress, but the
smallest amount upon which the busi-
ciently administered under the pro-
gram outlined by congress.
Second, that the minds of the busi-
ness administrators of government
have been diverted from a too easy
reliance upon the custom of deficiency
appropriations.
"Third, that where congress has di-
rected the expenditure of certain sums
for specific purposes, an executive
pressure will now be exerted for more
efficient and economical administration
in order to produce greater result from
the given expenditure, and also wher-
ever possible, to complete the given
project for less amount than the
total appropriated for the purpose"
The budget system was established
because of an acute public interest in
the expenditures of government, ac-
lively and continuously displayed by
the tax payers. 1t was established in
response to a public demand. The
house of representatives has changed
its way of appropriating money to CON
form to the budget system. 1t has
only one great appropriation commit
tee which authorizes all the expendi-
lures for the house. The senate has
not followed suit. If this newly in
stalled budget system is to be sue
cess it must have your active support
and understanding and derive an added
authority from your approval and sup
port.

individual members of congress in a
hundred skillful, shrewd, subtle ways
arguments to support the legislation
they are seeking to advance. 1t would
take two or three columns of this
newspaper merely to print list of
the organizations and associations that
are here to keep congress mindful of
their interests.
In this great clamor the common
public interest is likely to be sub
merged. In fact. too often it has been
submerged. This matter of economies
and reorganizing the business of the
government and taking up the tedious
details Of administration is dull busi-
ness. 1t has been neglected and put
off time after time because of lack
of public interest and driving force
behind it.
If you will supply this driving force
now and display sustained interest,
you can at least put the business of
government of the United States on
an efficient basis. Congress has been
negligent because you have been negli-
gent, but now at last the thing has
run along so far that something must
be done about 1t.

The camera is nothing more or less
than a huge model Of the eye. Light
passing through the lens of the eye
Is focused on the retina, which cor

screen or the plate of the camera.
Though the retina's chief use is to
send an impression to the brain. 1t is

BUDGET SYSTEM A START

The remedy II already being applied
to remove some of the conditions I
have described. A budget plan has

fee. General Dawes is at work now
trying to find out in detail where the
money comes from which you pay to
run the government and where 1t goes
and how properly to apportion it
among the spending agencies of the
government. He is just at the begin

begun. That Is the important thing.

which executive policy and pressure

assembled on June 20. 1921, for the
first time, the heads of departments

reau chiefs, and after announcing a
government policy of economy and ef-

The chief defects, or places where
waste is apparent in the conduct of
the business of the government, that
l have pointed out in these articles.
have been, first, the excessive proper
tion of the government income that
went for military expenditures; sec
ond, the chaotic condition and lack
of adequate supervision and control
of expenditures, which have been in
part remedied by the Introduction of
the budget system; and third, the hap
hazard organization Of the govern
ment departments and the unorgan-
lied condition that prevailed In gov

tions / have treated briefly in the

This is the third or fourth attempt
that has been made to effect a general
reorganization of the conduct of the
business of the executive departments.
They have all failed through lack of
interest. There was lack of public in

est in congress.
This ioint committee is at work now.

the actual condition. 1t Is studying
the departments. Presently 1t will
make a report to congress. If you
will show an active, insistent interest

pendS upon the care you give IT.
l. Shampooing it properly is always
the most important thing.
1t is the shampooing which brings out
the real life and lustre, natural wave and
color, and makes the hair soft, fresh and
luxuriant.
When your child's hair is dry, dull and
heavy, lifeless, stiff and gummy, and the
strands cling together, and it feels harsh
and disagreeable to the touch, it is because
the hair has not been shampooed properly.
When the hair has been shampooed prop
erly, and is thoroughly clean, it will be
glossy, smooth and bright, delightfully."-
fresh-looking, soft and silky.
While children's hair must have frequent
and regular washing to keep it beautiful, it
cannot stand the harsh effect of ordinary
soaps. The free alkali in ordinary soaps
soon dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle
and ruins it.
That is why discriminating mothers,
everywhere, now use Mulsifed cocoanut
oil shampoo. This clear, pure and entirely
greaseless product cannot possibly iwure,
and it does not dry the scalp or make the
hair brittle, no matter how often you use it.

you can make your child's hair look, just
