OF today, and it's success quickly spread
over the world. Orders poured in from
every direction, for his scales were not
only more convenient than the old
method OF hoisting the object to be
weighed on steelyard, but they were
also more accurate. With the stee!
yard, the actual weight might be ascer
tanned within fifty pounds, whereas to-
day, on scales capable of weighing 300, =
600 pounds, the weight can be deter
mined within the smallest fraction of
an ounce.
Weighing gives us the most exact de =
termination Of the actual mass of things.
The life sustaining value Of foods or the
henting value of fuels depends upon the
actual mass rather than on the space
occupied. Weighing measures the mass
and Is therefore more reliable than
measuring, which does not take into
consideration the air spaces between ir-
regular objects, such as potatoes in q
basket. Weighing also affords a mean.

cannot be measured. such as livestock

College Career

Many parents find IL difncult hnan-
cially to send sons and daughters to
college when the time comes. We are
starting In with our three month -old
baby. Every week from the time each
child Is born we put by in the savings
bank one dollar toward his college
education. 1t may seem to be looking
too far ahead, but we find that in this
steady and slow way, without scarcely
noticing. It. we are providing for the
higher things in our children's lives. We
also put into the same account the gifts
Of money which the child receives. and
figure that by the time the child is
ready to start in college there will be
about $1,000 already saved. OF course,
this is aside from the allowance which
the child would get for his own private
purchases-but you will be surprised at
how very easy It is to put by a little
each week systematically. Perhaps
others can afford to save more each
month, but where there are several
children, we feel that the one dollar
system works very well.-Mrs. w. Y.
s. in Good Housekeeping.

MEMORIAL TO
DEAD DOCTOR
Gave Life for Science in X-Ray
Experiments.

ST. LOUIS, No.. May 2o.-Physicians
here are considering establishment Of a
permanent memorial to DR.. Heber Rob-
arts of Belleville, ILL.,, who died from x
ray burns sustained during experiments
with radioactive substances
DR.. Robarts began experimenting with
x-ray twenty years ago and continued
his researches. although the loss Of four
fingers, one by one. warned him of the
approaching danger Of death through his
work. Weeks before his demise he realized
he could not survive the ravages done to
his system by the burns
Summoning his physician friends, he
submitted to them a diagnosis Of his own
case This was after he had visited saui
tariums at Baltimore and Washington
and had been treated according to his
own formula for relief Of such cases.
Recognized as an authority in x-rav
treatment, DR.. Robarts determined to
take charge Of his own cure. But the
malignant burns had spread too far, ana
despite applications of radium, Of which
he possessed a large store he could not
stop the spread of the deadly toxins to
his chest.

HUGE SUM TO

LIGHTHOUSES
Numerous improvements Are
Planned for Beac0ns
Along Coast.

WASHINGTON. May 20-Uncle Sam
VIII spend more than 100000 to perfect
his lighthouse service, which stands
guard day and night over dangerous
waters along his 7,c0O- mile coastline.
This sum. carried in the annual De
partment Of Commerce appropriation,
provides for numerous Improvements In
channels always considered dangerous to
navigation. They represent but few
Of numerous improvements contemplated
by Secretary Of Commerce Hoover and
awaiting more favorable times for con-
struction work.
An appropriation Of s13S.00o viii be
spent on improving navigation aids at
the entrance Of Delaware Bay. series
of sandbars have always menaced navi-
CATION at this point, and many vessels
have been wrecked there during mid-At-
lantfc storms While the appropriation
does rot provide for removal Of the bars,
IL does establish a number Of protective
devices. such as movable bellbuoys and
Fixed lights to mark OF the danger spots
to the wayfaring ocean liner.
Similar devices will be placed at many
danger spots in Alaskan waters, for which
an appropriation Of S125.0O0 has been set
aside. The increase Of traffic to Alaskan
ports has been so heavy that Congress
decided the navigation Improvements
could wait no longer.
A series Of shoals and sandbars IN Lake
Michigan will also be marked by modern
lighthouse appliances under an appro-
priation Of $3.50. 500. OF this amount, $685.
900 will be spent at Calumet Harbor.
$4,000 on Detroit and $14.5O0 at Spec

CLAMPS
IN WASHINGTON
TRAVEL CHECKS
Dawes Puts Crimp in Prac-
tice of Sight
seeing.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-There win
be no merry sky y-larking this summer by
Uncle Sans army Of workers at sea
shore and mountain tops at Government
expense.
Your Uncle Sam has put q crimp in
free travel abuses. The lid has been
clamped on Government railroad travel
vouchers. In other years thousands have
hocked to the summer resorts on the
easily procured travel slips.
The young swell" or pretty doll' on
the Government payroll In the old days
ran the gamut of business" excuses,
and drew free travel checks besides the
usual pre- diem allowance for subsistence
while absent from Washington. Later
on the usual thirty days annual vaca-
tion leave with pay allowed Government
workers was utilized to drive duh care
away.
DAWES WATCHES
ALL TRAVELLING.
Now, however, under a rigid economy
drive by the President and General
Dawes, director Of the Budget, useless
travel by Government officials or en-
ployes of any rank is forbidden.
Bureau chiefs are held responsible
strictly for abuses Of the free travel
privilege It is effecting saving to the
Treasury Of many millions OF dollars an
nually.
Treasury experts declare that In pre-
ceding years the Government outlay Tor
this purpose was something In the ma
ture Of a scandal. Every Government
department has its crops Of special In
yestigators and experts, many OF whom
want to gallop at viii and at Government
expense.
Until recently officials complained that
the hardest work performed by some Of
this class was that of drawing their
semi monthly pay.
EFFICIENCY PROGRAM.
SPEEDS Up WORK.
The efficiency and economy program
has done much to speed up work. and to
eliminate waste time and waste motion.
Under reorganization plans Government
workers do not find idleness such JOY
as in the days of old.
This has come through the program
Of reducing tie bureaus to normal
strength. 1t has meant a lot Of trim
ming in personnel Still lot more will
be done before peace time basis Is
reached.
Many of the Government departments
are over-manned. The civil service. now
under attack by Republican leaders. is
said to have installed thousands In Jobs
which might easily be abolished without
crippling Government work.
One Of the things that higher officials
complain of is the difficulty Of dislodg-
ing civil service appointees. who hold
firmly to places to which they have been
certified perhaps through strong political
backing. The merit system is being more
thoroughly developed and, despite po-
Iitical resistance from the Capitol, an
other year will find the Governments
total personnel reduced by many thou
sands.
