A Commission That Counts


Florida frindes of Stone & Webster.
knowing as they do that the great ac-
compEshments Of the company are due
to strict business methods, absolute ef-
ficiency, and the harmonious inter
working of all departments with each
other, will not be surprised to learn
that Mr.. Edwin S. Webster. head Of
the corporation, is receiving large and
rleritcd praise from the press and pub
lie of his home state, Massachusetts.
The Stone & Webster company, rep
resented in Tampa by the Tampa
Electric company. stands for eff
cheney, courtesy loyalty TO homefoIk
and safe business methods. It's repre-
sentatives here are men trained in the
art OF economical adminfstrat ton of
business. without the common tenden-
cy to "skimp' found in so many in
stances where niggardliness is mis-
taken for economy of operation.
Last summer Governor Charming H
Cox, of Massachusetts,, appointed a
commission OIL state administration
and expenditures to study the admin
istrativc machinery and tho methods
Of the commonwealth. The commission
was headed by Mr.. Edwin S. Webster.
OF the engineering, construction and
management firm of Stone & Webster.
Associated with Mr.. Webster were four
other citizens OF the Old Bay state
leaders in the business world, and
eight members of the legislature
Chairman Webster put into the work
of the commission the organization he
has built UP, and his own directing
services, without cost to his state.
After several months of inyestIga-
ton, in which executives. engineers.
accountants and other experts OF the
Stone & Webster organization, with
the best that the commission as
whole could command beside, the COM
mission as a whole could command be-
side, the commission has reported 1t
found, what is common under general
administration of state governments,
that:
Each department operates practi-
cally as a separate business with no
special incentive for the practice Of.
reasonable economy.

There was little conception Of the
whole picture of which each forms but
a small part
\ general tendency to increase the
scope OF the states work from year
to year without any broad check as to
its bearing on the states business as
a whole
One of the most important recon-
mendations contained in the report.
which, by the way, was adopted By a
unanimous vote OF the commission, is
the establishment of what is in effect
a governors cabinet, TO be made up OF
the heads of nine major departments.
This cabinet win consider administra-
tive problems as a whole, instead os
from the viewpoints Of the several de-
partments, and il win further systema-
tie and standardize general business
methods in all departments, curtailing
unnecessary activities and combining
and assisting others.
The report is taken by those who
know to be the masterful handiwork
OF the stone & Webster company, ard
the need of praise being handed TO tho
chairman, Mr.. Edwin 5. Webster, by
the press of Massachusetts, is not only
deserved, but proper. The problem OF
massachusetts, is the problem Of most
other states. and the interest OF Flor
ida in the report is more than that OF
interest in a company which is well
known and a great developer Of this
state, it is an interest in state manage
ment problems of which the report
may be of assistance in solving.
The Tribune congratuiates the COM
monwealth Of Massachusetts in hav-
ing at is command, willingly, such an
organization and such an executive for
business results as the Stone & Web
ster company, with its head, Mr.. Ed
win S. Webster.
When it IS considered that through
the investigation and recommended
changes made by the Webster commits
sion Massachusetts, viii save annually
ten million dollars. one-fourth the
amount it Is now spending for state
governmental support. one does not
wonder that public and press alike
are Joining in the praise of the person
atty and ability which has brought
this about.--Tampa Tribune

I was sure that his attitude was the
cause of Katherine's evident unhappi-
ness. and resolved to seize the first
opportunity to try to set things right
But knew that Katherine was waiting
to find out how she could best help
me In my trouble. and [ hatstened to
tell her the story of the mysterious
newspaper clippings which had been
sent me, and to show them and the
envelopes which had contained them 10
her. I had brought them all with mo
in my handbag.
Il took the liberty OF ordering my
personal mail forwarded in care o.
your address for a few days, RATHER

and the clippings to her. Il was afraid
some meddIesome person might open
them"
That was right" she returned hear
tily, and then turned her attention 10
the clippings, reading them carefully,
and studying the address on the en-
velopes
Some child wrote these addresses"
she said decidedly, "but, OF course,
this sort of thing is just what drug
addict like Mrs. Ailis would perpe-
trate. But I'm sure she is still at the
sanatorium. However, we can find out

When everything seems darkness
And not star in sight,
Just knuckle down the harder
And work, and pray and fight.
You cannot bear all the load,
But YOU can help sight
IL YOU will consider other people
And always do what's right.
We readily see wrong in others
And try TO set them straight,
BY selfish and pious actions
Which are often late.
Then we make a sacrifice
Which then seems good.
But later ruined by selfishness
We don't do as we should.
We should open our hearts fully
To this entire earth,
Then do and keep on doing
Giving duty her birth.
II we only do what suits us
This won't make the man,
VIC should ever forgive and forget
That's doing all we can.
What l mean to say Is this,
II we do what others prize
And neglect things that do reflect.
We feel our dignity rise.
And 10 raise the fallen ones
We shpdder and just quit.
And lot them so straight TO hell
That's not right a bit
But II we are always faithful
And never a duty shirk
Doing whatever we find 20 do
Even though disagreea5le work.
We viii learn to love our duty
And do Il with our might.

and feel we've done right.

And stiii not beref,
And We wlll hear tire Saviour say.

exactly. Either I'll wear a queen of

then I'd cut out two big cardboard
hearts, one for in front and one for in

ONE REEL YARNS
Fu YEN AND TIE TWIN LIGHT!

Flu YEN AND THE TWIN LIGHTS
Flu Yen's father was a priest IN the
great temple. Ever since he could re-
member, Flu Yen had played about
the great building filed with its won
derful carved images. He had spent
most of his time in it's wonderful gar
dens, for there he was happiest.
Every flower nodded its bright head
as Flu Yen came shutting into the
garden, his long que flying, his face
beaming. Every bird called a good
morning, and the tiny insects buZzed
happily. for Flu Yen was the friend of
every growing and living thing.
In front of the great temple, near
the entrance to the beautiful gardens,
were the wonderful twin lanterns
whose lights never went out. Flu
Yen's father watched them and kept
them always filled with the sacred oil,
so that the tiny lights forever twin
killed.. They stood on slender columns,
so high that Flu Yen was quite a large
boy before he could reach them.
It was a great day in Flu Yen's life
when his father announced that he
was going on a journey Of several
days. and that his son could now be
entrusted with the solemn duty of
watching the twin lanterns. Every
morning." said Flu Yen's father grave
~, you must fill them with the oil

the sacred lights should go out"
"Oh. most honorable father" prom
ised Flu Yen. Il will guard them with
my life. as the graves Of my honorable
ancestors
Every morning Flu Yen polished and
filled ths lanterns Then one lovely
sunshiny day he fingered in the gar
den. playing with his favorite flow
ers. The sun shone brightly, and he
grew sleepy. Next thing he knew.
dusk was falling. He ran to the Ian
terms. One Of them was out

It won't be complete without you.
There" said Beth. ST think that
makes a nice invitation" She and
her brother Roger were so near of an
age that they always gave their par
ties together. For some time they had
been planning a big valentine party.
They were busily writing the invita-
ton verse on red paper hearts, which
they put in white envelopes and sealed
with red sealing wax.
The Valentine Mall Box
When all the invitations were piled
up on the table; ready to be mailed,
Roger tilted back in his chair and
said, Now. what are we going to do
with them after they get here?
Well" considered Beth. resting her
chin on her hand, zone thing that's
always fun is to have some red and
white crepe paper, some red card
board, paints, pencils and scissors
ready. and as soon as they come get
them started to making valentines for
the mail box. We can vote on the best
one ard give bag OF motto hearts
for prize. Then wen put all the val
entines in the box and have every one
draw one before the party breaks up"
That ought to start the party or
all right" agreed Roger. 'rhen we
can Just play come regular games,
like Going TO Jerusalem, until time to
eat I tell you what! Let's serve cafe
terra style and have everybody march
around the table"

We can have a grand march first."
suggested Beth. s'We'I make as many
cardboard hearts as there are couples
and cut each one in two. Wen have

SHRINERS BEGIN
FRISCO INVASION
Big City in Preparation
for Monster Shrine
Jubilee

SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 1f.--1t's
pretty hard TO tell today whether
San Francisco is trying TO disguise
itself to look like Damascus or a
transplanted Damascus is trying TO
disguise itself to look like San Fran
cisco. The transformation that Is
now going on in expectation Of the
great Mystic shrine jubilee this
week would suggest either situation.
The saying that east Is east and
west is west and never the twain
shall meet" was not meant for the
near east and the far west. judging
by the typically exotic reception
that Is being planned by San Fran
cisco for her myriad guests Of the
shrine, who are rushing TO the new
Mecca in all directions In their
stcel-cuclosed and stcam-drawn car
avans.
Today the city found that over
night. n great change had been
wrought. The stark and sentinel
like light standards on lower Mar
ket street had each been given a
red and green dress topped by n
head the close limitations Of prayer
garnish, mosquo-like shade. over
rugs. large and small. snapped in
the breeze, while the drab sides Of
the big business blocks broke forth
with the Shrine colors, red. green
and gold in swapping flags and
| swaying festoons.
| II not only suggested n near east
ern city but such a city zen fete"
for some epochal gathering time.
Despite the hustle OF preparation
the spirit and calm OF the old Arabic
legend "es selamu aloikum" (peace
be with you) was predominant. II
only needed a stretch of Syrian des-
crt to the east TO make the picture
complete, but the Shrine belief,
backed by the shrine Imagination
filled the desert in.
A new rule was made known for
the three great pagcants that are
planned for the jubilee. Should any
Shriner appear in the conventional
dress suit and fez, as they sometimes
do on such occasions, he will be de-
MED the right 10 march. Every
Shrincr will wear the full Shrlncr
regaiia in the pageants, OF which
three were planned, with a fourth
held In reserve.
The great caravans are coming in
and can he seen vending their way
whore the hot sands stretch to the
horizons.

DEATH ENDS MYSTERY
Woman Who Came to Okemnh as
Wife of Horse Trader Dies
Rather MySteriOusly

Nl'Nlfl ~ ne W NTIls
OKEMAH. June ia woman
supposed TO he Mrs. Ella Downing.
wife OF Bert Downing. died carly
last night at the residence OF X.
NJ. Miller here under somewhat
mysterious circumstances. The
cause Of the woman's death was
supposed at first TO be due to pto-
maine poisoning but there are some
features which tend to discredit that
theory.
The woman, n stranger In Oke-
nah. came here few weeks ago
and Bert Downing, horse trader,
represented her as his wife. For ue
first two or three nights she and
Downing stayed in tho loft OF a
stable. Then Downing took the
woman 10 a camp on South First
street where man named Harry
Bailey. an acquaintance, was living
in covered wagon.
Bailey turned his, wagon over 10
the couple and sought sleeping
quarters elsewhere. Downing then
left the camp and failed to come
back. but remained about town,
drinking heavily.
Saturday night, June 3, the woman
was taken suddenly Ill and Bailey

woman was removed to the resi-
dence, of r. NJ. Miller and every
'hingfpossihle was done 10 save her
life, but she died without revealing
anything about herself or where
her relatives could be found.
In view of the fact that Downing
brought the woman to Okemah and
then left her among strangers sus-
p'CiOn arose In the minds Of some
that she may have become dCspond-
mt and taken poison with suicidal
intent Bailey has since left Okc-
NAH but before he left he is re-
ported to have made TIE statement
that Mrs. Downing died, from the ef-
fects Of something that Downing
gave her to take.
