FOLK GO ON
GYPSYING AUTO TOUR

The following is an account of
q visit to Mt. Rainier, written by
Mrs. John Jensen, one Of the
party:
While memory Is still fresh |
will let those Of our good readers
know what II pleasant trip we
had. On our recent trip we visited
through nine different counties
and saw lot of nice farming
country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marker and Mr..
Jensen and myself started from
Lisabcula on Wednesday morn
ing, August %, our auto loaded
to the utmost with grub box and
camping equipment. We were
ocean bound but set sail for MI
Rainier first. We reached there
in due time and were able to Sc
lect our camping place for the
night.
1t was the most beautiful
weather Of the season and the
mountain showed up in all its
Nplendor. After a hearty break
fast we started on our hike reach
ing more than the 1000 foot mark.
If Mr.. Jensen had had his way we
would be climbing yet, but our
time was limited 50 we could not
linger longer there. We then
started coasting down the wind
ing road back to earth again.
"Hhe trip down to the ocean
over hills and through the forests
was wonderful. | could write a
book of the scenes around Lake
Crescent and through the storm
swept country, but | am afraid |
could not make it sound as inter
astmg as thought the trip was.
The little old Ford rambled
long. | marveled at Mr.. Mank-
RS steady nerves and untiring
grip ON the steering wheel through
out the whole trip.
The ocean scenes were new to
me and the breakers roar sound
ed like groans from the many
ship wrecked victims who have
been claimed among the rocks Be
fore we knew anything about it.,
Mr.. Jensen had gotten away and
goodness knows how far he walk
ed along the beach. He saw a lot
OF wrcckage Of ships and graves
where poor unforJuates are
buried.
Sitting around our camp fire
that evening, it being Sunday, our
thoughts went back to our little
church on the hill, where Mr..
Smock preached and we wished
we were there to hear him.
Well, we had to break camp
again and start home. We changed
our course and came through
Port Townsend, We ferried
across to WILDLY island, then to
Fidalgo, then through the La
Conner flats to Mt. Vernon. We
saw many beautiful farms, but
of all the farm country we picked
the Seguim prairie as being the
incest.
eve went a little out of our
way to visit some friends at Sed-
ro- Woolley, but it was well worth
it. My, but the honest to good
ness beds to sleep in never felt so
good before.
Here we are back safe and
sound. A Ford will get you there
and back again"

that all the efficient people are in pri.

to hand it to Alexander Hamilton for
devising a scheme that has stood up
since revolutionary days. 1t has not

UP TO YOU AND CONGRESS
Copyright, Western Newspaper Union

At the present time it would be a
misnomer Il speak of the national
government having a personnel sys-
tenn at all. The reform accomplished
by the establishment Of the civil serv-
ice commission and the merit system
has touched but one phase Of the per-
sonnet problem, and that but partially
entrance into the government serv-
ice. Practically nothing has been done
In the way of erecting the government
services into careers that will attract
and retain efficient men. Bad as con-
ditions were in this respect before the
war, they have become many times
worse during and since that event.
The correction Of these evils pre-
sents a problem of great completely.
1t cannot be achieved by a half
hearted or halfway tinkering with the
present system. Nothing but a thor
ough overhauling Of the whole person
mel system and the establishment of
a new system covering all phases Of
the question and embodying the most
approved principles of personnel ad-
ministration will meet the needs of
the situation. Fortunately a begin
ming has been made in this direction.
1t at least furnishes a starting point
for action looking to the giving to the
government of the personnel system
that it must have If government" work
is to be even measurably well done.
The situation now is that there is
an insistent demand on the part of
the public that the whole administra-
ton of the national government be put
upon a more efficient basis, and that
the present waste of public funds, re-
sulting from present defective organ
ization and methods, shall cease; that
congress is alive to this demand and
has made a start toward meeting it
that the fundamental defects in the
existing system are we'll known; and
that the direction efforts looking 20
reform should take are clearly eStab-
Hshed.. The responsibility Is thus
sQuarely up to congress.
n the problem hat confronts con-
gress in securing this laudable end is
analysed it will be found that the
fundamental reforms are: The re-
form by congress itself of its own or
ganization and methods Of procedure;
the entire revision of the present sys-
tenn under which the financial needs
Of the government are determined and
provided; the setting up of an agency
and procedure through which the ex.
penditnre Of. public funds may be
