New Accounting System.

a
A uniform system of accounting and
bookkeeping, designed for installation
in the hospitals and penal institutions,
under the direction of the Board of
Welfare, was explained at confer
ence between the superintendent, fl
nancial clerks and auditors of the in
situations with Emory L. Coblcntz,
Director of Welfare. The system,
which probably will be installed I'M
der the supervision of William S.
Gordy, Jr., Comptroller, was explained
by Mr.. Coblentz and ]. o. McCusker,
budget clerk in the Comptroller's Of
flee.
Shortly after Mr.. Coblentz was ap-
pointed Director of Welfare he had his
assistant, S. Preston Hipsley, together
with an accountant, make the rounds
of the various hospitals and penal in
situations and inspect their bookkeep-
ing systems. This occupied about two
weeks, and the system which was ex-
planned is the outcome of the ideas
which Mr.. Coblentz had when he first
took over the Office. He had con-
ferred with the Comptroller on the
matter.

A daily waste Of 100000 gallons Of
gasoline by evaporation from 775 I'M
insulated storage tanks throughout the
country was reported as one of the
major findings OF an extensive survey
on conservation just completed by en-
gineers Of the United States bureau
Of mines. The rate at which these
evaporation losses take place has not
been closely calculated. A $4,000
barrel storage tank holding gasoline
will lose about 6 per cent Of it's con-
tents in one year. A similar tank hold
ing crude oil will lose about per
cent In one year, and the loss from
the crude oil will be almost entirely
pure gasoline. The loss from IT'S tanks,
including both types Is. therefore, es-
timated at 73,765,OO gallons, an eco
nomic loss, at 20 cents gallon,
amounting to $14,533, 900.

State Against County.

The States legal department
through Assistant Attorney General
Allan H. Fisher, will bring at least
1900 suits against the County Com.
missioners Of Montgomery county, the
county clerk of the Police Court in that
county and the various magistrates
who have levied automobile fines in
the county, in order to recover those
fines which have been paid to the
county authorities and have not been
RENTED to the State Treasury. The
suits will be brought before justice
of the peace in Montgomery county
Mr.. Fisher stated.
The last session of the Legislature
passed bill providing that automo-
bile fines collected in Montgomery
county should be used by that county
for the maintenance of a police force
and should not be turned over to the
State Commissioner of Moter We
hicles.
In an opinion rendered some time
ago Attorney General Armstrong held
that the law in question was unconsti-
tutional, but the county authorities
preferred not to abide by that deci.
sion. Subsequently the State brought
suit as test case to recover one fine
and won its case, the Circuit Court OF
Montgomery county holding the law
under which the fines were collected
to be unconstitutional. 4

Woman had little chance in the
world before Jesus came. Yet she fig
ures largely in the Old Testament.
Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Miriam, Han
nah, Ruth, Esther, and a host less con-
spicuous, many Of whom are unnamed,
occupy an important place in those
ancient Scriptures, says the North
Carolina Christian Advocate. Hannah,
as the maker Of great men; Ruth, as
a passionate pilgrim at whose feet the
world bows in admiration and praise;
Esther, the uncrowned queen whose
unselfish daring ever commands the
admiration Of mankind, occupy the
front seats upon the stage Of earth's
immortals. Study the Bible with the
influence Of woman in mind and one
will be amazed to find what God
wrought through her In spite Of exist
ing ignorance and prejudice.

The typical American man is FIVE
feet nine inches tall. Typical Ameri-
can woman is five inches shorter,
which is an inch taller than the aver
age of 80 years ago. American women
incline to be fiat-chested. AS physical
specimens they are not as near perfec-
ton as our men. This description is
furnished by DIR. Alex Hadlicka, scien-
fist Of the United States National mu-
scum. He says the complexion of
Americans is tending to swarthiness
and that, as race, we are destined to
be dark like the Latins.

Governor Urges Sugar Boycott.

Governor Richie officially declared

sugar prices shortly after similar dec.
larations by the Governor of Ohio and
of Kansas.
In an official proclamation he called
upon the householders of Maryland
and all other users of sugar in the
State to restrict sugar purchases to
the smallest possible quantities.
The recent price increase Operates
with the greatest injustice upon every
householder and user of sugar in this
State and in the country, the proc
lamation declares. Curtailed buying
is urged as the only Immediately eff
fective means of restoring normal

No wonder the average college
student is appalled, at the outlook
when he thinks of going into the min
istry, writes Francis e. Clark in The
Yale Review. He is apt to reason,
unless he thinks Of himself more
highly than he ought to think: 'How
can / satisfy 100 or 500 sermon
samplers every Sunday?" It
would be different if he could say to
himself with confidence: ''The people
viii come to church, not chiefly to
hear me but to listen to God. He may
speak through me, but it will be His
message and not mine they will desire.
They will come also to pray and sing
and to realize the Divine Presence"

OFFICE NOISES

Some one who has made an intimate
study Of so-caIled "office noises" is
authority for the statement that every
little noise that the busy business man
may hear while engaged in office work,
either public or private, has the effect
Of costing him a little energy-even.
as sometimes happens, these same men
may get used to the little noise. When
q business mans health begins to
break he becomes irritable. That is.
every little thing annoys him. Even
the clicking of the typewriter keys or
the ticking of clock has an untoward
effect upon this man. And by resort
to these conclusions the experts in
form us that this leakage Of energy,
caused by Office noises, in the course
Of time are apt to ,incapacitate busi-
ness man for the larger duties which
devolve upon him and which Of a ne
cessity he has to assume. This is an
age when Office men are undergoing a
terrific strain, says the Springfield
(Ohio) News. This strain, which Is
the result of superlative efforts to
keep ahead, when augmented by addi-
tional annoyances such as noises, is
bringing lots Of men to the breaking
point in their physical beings. The
tension of the age is beginning to tell.

We Americans live longer ION the
average, than those ancient Egyptians,
q medical historian announces. That's
chiefly because science has. cut the
death rate among tho young. There
must have been terrible anguish among
mothers in King Tut's time. for even
today 124 out Of each 1000 boy babies
die during their first year. For girl
babies the figure is 143. If we reach
the age of twelve, we are. out of the
real danger zone. When it comes to
people who have reached maturity,
we're dying at about the same age as
the ancient Egyptians, though the odds
are slightly better in our favor.

DISCOURAGE YOUNG CRIMINALS

Now comes an eastern criminologist
who says that the reason why the
number of youthful criminals is in
creasing is that news Of crime is much
more widely published than it used to
be. He argues that boys are led to
commit crime by reading about it, and
especially that it appeals to their love
of adventure because the newspapers
give much space to the exploits of
outlaws, painting them in glowing col
ors and clarifying the Nefarious bust
ness Of crime" He thinks that censor
ship on crime news would put an end
to juvenile offending. This is, indeed,
the only remedy he has to suggest. 1t
would further illuminate the subject
II we might have citations, by date,
column and page, from any newspaper
that customarily pictures crime as any
thing but the sordid, ill-rewarded, mis-
directed performance that it is. or that
"glorifies" those who indulge in it, or
otherwise makes it appear that law
breaking pays. The thing. in fact, is
not being done, says the Portland
Oregonian. The tendency is; indeed,
in the opposite direction. We have
read nothing recently in the columns
Of any newspaper concerning crime
that ought to cause any normal, we'll
brought-up youth to believe that there
was anything in it for him.
