has turned over his desk
 to Brig. Gen. H. NJ. Lord
 who leaves the position of chief of finance of the
 War department to be-
 I come director of the budget. General Dawes quit in ac- cordance with his understanding with President Harding that he would guide the budget bureau only through its first year. General Dawes has a bank to manage in Chicago.
 General Lord has been in close touch with the work of the budget bureau for some time. He's sixty-one years old. a congressman, and began life as a newspaper man. The Spanish-Ameri- can war made him a major of volun- teers. In 1901 he entered the regular army as captain. He was awarded D. s. NJ. for service as assistant to the quartermaster general and as di- rector of finance.
 Uncle Sam has the wealthiest nation in the world back of him. or he would have gone broke long ago. For up to a year ago the well-known and justly celebrated drunken sailor had nothing at all on Uncle Sam when it came to getting rid of the cash. In fact, Uncle had the inebriated tar beat to a fraz- xle. The Illuminated seaman had to quit when his money was gone. but uncle kept right on spending.
 But all that is changed. Uncle now has a perfectly good budget system and has to live up to 1t He has to tell in advance how much he Is going to spend and quit when its gone and strike a balance at the end of the year.
 There Is much confusion in the public mind as to the amount of the savings effected by the budget bureau. That Is because of politics. But that will all be changed. too. The truth is that there isn't any politics about . budget. It's business. The budget bureau Is not concerned with any political party. It's got to be efficient and honest-and to the dickens with politics!
 The big thing about the budget and the budget system, and the budget bureau, is the fact that for the first time in the history of the United States of America the President has assumed the responsibility for the spending of the executive departments.
 General Dawes undoubtedly did good job. General Lord will be just as efficient So will succeeding budget directors the President of the United States-whoever he may be-keeps his eye on this responsi- bility. Here's the situation In a nut she'll, as General Dawes put 1t up to congress:
 Tt cannot be too often reiterated that this most important reformation in the governmental business system is dependent upon the President of the United States himself, and upon his continued assumption of his respon- sibility as its business head. The min ute he relaxes his attitude of atten- tion to this duty there will be felt the natural pull of the departments and establishments toward the old system of complete independence and de centralization. This is because of laws firmly embedded in human nature which have existed since man began. Budget laws or other legislative enact ments cannot change human nature, and while compelling the letter of CO., operation cannot compel its spirit.

Women the First Gardeners.

1t is now claimed that woman was:
rhe first gardener, the first bOtaniSt
and the first physician. Her knowl-
edge of the uses of plants and her cul-
tivation by the hoe of this part of the
ration so necessary as the population
increased and big game became scarce,
gave women a great economic value in
the tribe. AS the crop of the women
could be relied upon man began to
help a bit in the garden, and the pillow
was invented, and finally the domesti-
Gated animals rather than the women
and children were hitched to ii. This
was toward the end of the Stone age,
so says the scientists, 10000 B. G.
Gardens go back to 10000 B. c., and
the farm only to 10000 b. c., when
with pillow culture greater areas could
be cared for. Starvation forced the
people Of nomadic tastes to agricul-
.ture, and it was the women, taking
counsel with the old men and the witch
doctors of the tribe. who decreed when
the crops should be harvested and
eaten and when the consumption OF
the seed corn should cease.

Coal.


Estimates of the quantity of coal still
tOred in the earth are not much bet
er than guesses, because there may
'e and probably are many and large
deposits still undiscovered. Mulhall's
work on statistics estimates the con-
ents of the worlds coal fields at $685.
WO,O0O,OO0 tons, but these estimates
we're made several years ago. and
iince then other coal fields have been
discovered. For instance they made
10 mention of Africa, where coal is
low known to exist in large quanti-
les, but the extent Of he known de-
)osts has not been accurately aScer-
aimed, and probably what has been
'ound is only 81 small part OF what eX-
SITS. The Samc is true of China and
several other large divisions of the
'arth. There are many things yet to
)e learned respecting the contents of
lur earth. According to that we'll
nown authority, the Economic Re-
lew, of London. England, the worlds
otal output of coal in 1913 was about
1000, 100000 tons, ana about 1000
100000 tons in 1919.
