Toyrnaking.

A charter has just been granted to
a corporation capitalized at s21 1,000,-
900 which will manufacture toys.
The fact is interesting not only as
evidence Of the growth OF an Ameri-
can industry but also as reminder
of what an elaborate affair the bust
ness of making playthings has be-
come.
The toy industry could not be said
to exist in the United States before
1875. Prior to that time more than
30 per cent. OF the toys used in this
country were of foreign manufacture.
To-day scarcely per cent. of the
toys played with here are made
abroad. Practically all the ingen-
ious toys, the remarkable mechan-
isms which are at once the despair
and the secret pleasure Of parents,
are of American make.
The scientists who dig into the
remains of ancient civilizations,
Egyptian, Greek and Roman. tell us
that toys are almost as old as man
himself. Savage peoples make dolls
20 play with, besides fashioning inn
ages of their gods; the natural in.
stinct of a child for diversion cannot
be denied.
In Egypt the archRologists have
unearthed wooden. earthenware and
metal dolls. They haze found the
precursor of the tedHy bear in

elephant. The Cree - Roman

The recent collision between the
American steamship H. f. Alexander
and the British steamship Andree off
Port Mifflin was the result of efforts
both vessels made to, avoid running
down a rowboat. Nobody was hurt
in the collision; had either ship
struck the rowboat lives might have
been sacrificed. The money loss
caused by the collision can be made
good, but had lives been lost there
could have been no redress.

San Francisco's Ways.
Gold Coins Treated Like Pebbles,
CIGARS Like Pearls.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: read
with interest 8. l.. Platt's letter mar
rating the manner in which gold coins,
stacked in open end trays. were kept
on the unscreened counters in San Fran
cisco banks. 1t used to be interesting
to see the tellers scoop up the stacks
Of gold pieces with ivory handled SHOW
els; never counting the pieces in q
stack, though they were double eagles |;
so many stacks. so many odd pieces ;
there they were, the amount Of your
check.
The reverse of that seemingly free
and easy custom was the manner of
salesmanship in retail cigar stores.
These stores. up to thirty years or SO
ago at least, had no fronts. Each was
closed at night with shutters, which
were stored away out Of sight when
the place was opened.
An open box Of cigars was never
seen excant when customer was pur-
chasing. Before humidors were part of
a cigar store equipment in New York
they were invariably in use in San Fran
cisco cigar stores. If clerk knew a
patrons taste in cigars he turned as
the patron entered and took from a
humidor one or two boxes of cigars,
brought them to the counter and opened
the boxes. II a stranger was to be
served his preferences were learned and
three or four boxes were placed on the
counter and opened for his inspection.
A clerk never touched cigar. A
San francisco bred smoker would walk
out of a cigar store in indignant pro-
test II he were supplied with handful
Of cigars to select from, or in any other
way . clerk touched a proffered cigar.
Twenty dollar gold pieces seemed to
be treated like pebbles on. the beach,
cigars like pearls. Ex-S. T.

Dearborn Independent.
Once it was quite a big thing to
start a strike. The hero of the hour
was the strike starter. That sensa-
ton faded and it then became a big
thing to ''settle a strike The strike
settler was the great man. Strikes
were even maneuvered that would
be officials could get a start towards
fame by settling them. But even that
game is now played out. Settling a
strike doesn't mean anything; the
strike does not remain settled; in
the very settlement are often the
seeds of a new outbreak. The new SER
vice that stands challenging us is
the prevention of strikes and the cure
of their sources. This summers s
strikes were perceived beforehand.
They were deliberately permitted to
come. Thus no glory will arise from
their being settled The whole ques-
tion now has been shifted to another
plane.-Henry Ford.

Some Facts About
The Public Printing

To the Editor:-I respectfully re-
quest space in your valuable paper
to give few facts and figures COM
piled from the public records, in re-
gard to the work of the joint commit
tee on printing.
The committee was established by
law in 1916 as a result Of an inves-
tigation of a special committee OF
both houses, the findings of which
showed that the method Of handling
the states printing was careless and
inefficient, and that more ethclent
method could be made to yield large
dividends for a small investment OF
expense. These conclusions of the
special committee were we'll founded
as subsequent developments have
proved. Gradually the work OF the
committee has been expended until
today not only the public printing IS
handled by it, but all office supplies
and printing for all departments OF
the state government are purchased
through the committee and the total
net savings aggregate considerable
sum.
The average annual cost of the
public printing for the six-year pc
riod from 1911 to 1917 was $32,9O1,-
81, while for the six-year period from
1917 to 1928 the average annual
cost is so far s2S,10S, with the per-
manent code of laws Of 1922 still to
be paid for, which will make a gen.
eral average of $S2,444.66 year for
the past six years, though this aver
age will be reduced from the sale OF
the 1922 code. This reduction Of
the average annual cost has been at
tanned despite the fact that within
the past few years the cost OF printing
has more than doubled and the de
fation'' in this industry has not kept
pace with that in other lines. (The
price of book paper of the grade u.s.
ed for the state printing is now eight
one-half cents to nine cents per
pound as against four and five cents
per pound in 1914 and previous
wears. At one time it reached 10
cents. Wages, which increased an
average of about 100 per cent, have
not declined at all.)
The figures of the cost of public
printing for the years 1911 to 1922,
both inclusive, are as follows:

1922 { includes perma-

1SGl (luCluuSS pei md-
nent code, ,estimat'd 67,060.00
It will be noted that during the
first three years of the committees
existence the amount spent for pub
lie printing was practically cut in
half. This was accomplished by re-
ducing the volume Of reports printed
by state officials and by the elimina-
tion of much useless duplication in
the public printing. The increased
cost for the past few years has been
due to advanced prices for printing
and to the inclusion of both the tenn
porary and permanent code of laws,
which the constitution requires to be
printed twice at each recurring Pc
riod of ten years. Under the con-
tract made for publication of the
permanent code this committee will
receive considerable sum from the
sale of the code to members of the
bar and others. This money will be
refunded to the state treasury and
should be deducted from the appro-
priation Of 1922.
Comparing 1914 and 1922.
In order to make an accurate COM
parison of 1914 and 1922 it is nee
essary to make somewhat of an anal
ysis of the 1922 appropriation. OF
the total of s76,S51 appropriated
this year s49,274.52 will be expend-
ed for public printing proper as a.
gainst $39,49559 for 1914. Reports
of boards, commissions, etc., created
since 1914, changes in the law which
required payment from public print
ing funds instead Of from depart
ment funds, together with reports OF
special committees authorized by the
general assembly, accounts for $5,-
S33.5S of the difference, leaving &C
tually spent for the same work only
s4,4S7.49 more in 1922 than in 1914,
when everyone knows, or can easily
ascertain, that the cost of printing is
now practically doubled what it was
in 1914. Had there been no joint
committee on printing in 1922 the
probabilities are that the appropria-
ton would have been considerably
in excess of 100000.
In comparing the years 1914 and
1922 the extra session of 1914 has
been included. If it is believed that
this is unfair the following figures
will show that in volume of work ov-
er which the committee could have
no control the comparison is, If any
thing, unfair to 1922.
The acts Of 1914, both regular and
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-08-17

special sessions, contained 7S8 pages
whereas the acts of 1922 contained
94S pages. In 1914 for both regu-
lar and special sessions, there were
printed 4,492 pages of bills, while
for the session of 1922 there were
printed 4,24O pages of bills.
There was also appropriated for
the operating expense Of the commit
tee for 1922, s4,991; for equipment,
s1,800; and as a revolving fund to
purchase Office supplies, $4,000. Of
the amount for operating expenses
several hundred dollars will probably
be unused and will revert to the
treasury, which IS likewise true Of
the amount for equipment. This
equipment will practically pay for
itself in 1922, and as it's probable
life is five or six years there is a
considerable net gain to the state.
The revolving fund is exactly what
it's name implies. 1t is used to pur-
chase Office supplies for the various
departments. These supplies which,
before this committee began to act
as purchasing agent, were bought at
retail prices in small quantities, are
now bought at wholesale, entailing a
saving Of practically $4,000 for 1922.
This money is refunded to the state
treasury as the different departments
settle their accounts.
There is another phase of the COM
mittee's work which has been produc-
tive of lowered operating costs for
other departments Of the govern
ment. Contracts for all job printing
for the various departments are a
warded through this Office. A con-
siderable sum has been saved not on
ly by securing the best prices by COM
petitive bidding, but expert advice
in the use of paper has saved a great
amount of money. Besides there is
a tendency towards coordination and
Standardization which has often pre-
vented the printing Of unnecessary
forms.
The small expense to which the
state is put for operating expenses
of the joint committee on printing
is returned many times in the econ
omies which the committee has been
able to effect. The committee is the
one department of the government
which was instituted simply and sole
ly for the purpose Of economizing.
That it has more than fulfilled the
mission which the authors of the act
creating it had in mind is clearly
demonstrated by the figures given
above, which are taken from the pub
lie records.

DEATH CLAIMS BISHOP KILGO.
Succumbs at Charlotte Home in
Early Morning.

Charlotte, n. c., Aug. 11.-Bishop
John c. kilgo of the Southern Meth
odist Episcopal church died at his
home here at 1.45 this morning after
having been extremely i'll since last
Sunday when he suffered a severe
heart attack.
Bishop Kilgo had been gradually
sinking since last Thursday after
noon and his death had been expect
ed hourly by his physicians and fami-
ly. Since Sunday little or no hope
had been entertained for his recov-
cry.
DR.. Kilgo had been we'll known in
the south for a score Of years, hav-
ing served as president of Trinity
college at Durham, N. c., for six
years prior to his election as bishop
II years ago. At the last general
conference of the Southern Methodist
church at Hot Springs, Ark, he was
placed on the bishops retired list.
The aged minister had never entirely
recovered from a severe attack suf-
fered last spring on his way home
from the general conference, which
forced him to remain under treat
ment in a Memphis hospital for sew
eral weeks, finally being brought
home on a cot in the private car of
Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern railway, of which Bishop
Kilgo was director. He regained
sufficient strength, however, to leave
his bed and several times took rides
about the city with members Of his
family. He made one trip to Balti-
more where he was under treatment
of a specialist for several days.
