accomplish anything by sleeping
while criminality works.

The government employs some
thing like 10000 girls as stenograph-
ers and typists. Their average pay
is $1,000 a year.
A treasury expert estimates that
each one Of these girls uses up one
hour day in primping during work
ing hours. It pains the expert to
think that the government pays them
$6,000,000 a year in salaries for which
it receives no return.
Should the girls be locked for the
time they consume in primping and
powdering their noses? Possibly
they should. Not even the govern
ment should be expected to pay for
services that are not rendered.
But let's start right and dock i'm
partially.
Is there a man in the government
employ who really works his eight
hours each days?
AS matter Of fact, don't the ma
jority of them loaf from one to three
hours every day? Call it two hours
as fair example. Include among the
number the gentlemanly expert who
would dock the girls for keeping them
lselves beautiful for our benefit.
Now do some more brilliant figur-
ing, Mr.. Expert, and tell US the re-
suit.
Save $6,0O0,O0O a year? You bet!
By including the male loafers it
would be nearer a hundred millions
Sure thing! Turn the switch and
start the official decker to working.
But soak the big guns and chief loaf
ers first.

producing something. That keeps

money in circulation.
