An amendment which would have brought the proposed bus Ines under the Jurisdiction of the r. l. C. was roundly defeated.
 Not only must independent bus lines gain permission from the r. |. C., but bus lines operated by tne Connecticut company end the New Haven railroad also come under its jurlsdic- ton. Now why did the Senate so readily make an exception in favor Of the bus lines of the New Haven and Shore Line railway?

Washington, May 2S.--The eff ciency expert was a city dweller. The country was new to him.
 It shocked limits inefficiency did, The COWS, in particular! There was a pastureful of them. They roycd about aimlessly. They'd eat grass for a while on a sunny slope in the early morn. As noon drew on. they'd walk clear to the other end of the pasture and eat in the shade of some trees, No system about it at all.
 If these cows" said the eff ciency expert. would line up in n queue, and eat right along, the way lawn mower runs, and then eat back, q parallel, adjoining swath, they'd get a heap more food for a lot less exercise and paturally they'd give more milk.
 The efficiency expert undertook to make tho COWS do this. But he worried the COWS so, and had 'em eating grass on tho boiling hot hill- side at noon, and in the chilly shade of the trees at dewy eve, and they gave less milk.
 This parable" said a harrassed government employe. shows how the federal bureau of efficiency works. It works in conjunction with the procrastination board.
 T mean to say the classification board. The procrastination board is what we call it in government slang.

 Say you're recommended fol promotion. The efficiency bureau proves you're no good even where you are. If you're promoted, never theIess, the procrastination boart delays any advance in your salary When finally you do get it, the comptrollor general decides you're not entitled to it and must pay I hack, In case you refuse, he hold

Seeks u. S. Aid i'm
Organizing Libraries

Chicago-Dr. Arthur E. Bostwick, of
st. Louis, will visit China early in 1925
to confer with Chinese librarians, edu-
Gators and public officials on the Chi
nese public library movement. He will
go as the official representative Of the
American Library Association which
made the appointment in response to a
request from the Chinese National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Edu-
cation.
DR.. Bostwick will visit important
libraries in the principal cities and
universities and will seek conferences
with people acquainted with library
history and development. Chinese edu-
Gators believe that DR.. Bostwick's long
experience in library administration in
America and his observations of the
Chinese situation will enable him to
make an important contribution to
their plans for the popularizing of
libraries in China.
DR.. Bostwick is distinguished Ii
brazilian. He has been president of the
American Library Association, the
American Library Institute, the New
York State Library Association, and
the Missouri Library Commission.

Why Englishmen
Are Tonguetied

London.--A scientist has made the
discovery that the most silent and in
articulate animals in nature are asses,
owls, oysters and Englishmen," accord
ing to Sir st. Clair Thompson, presi-
dent of the Royal Society Of Medicine,
at recent dinner.
"It is curious" the speaker declared,
shat after-dinner speaking should be
a custom with people who speak as
badly as we do. None of the four
nations which compose our more or
less United Kingdom can claim great
clarity of expression" he continued.
"The Welshman talks a language of
his own, which no one else under
stands, and he therefore does not
count; the Irishman suffers from con-
fusion of thought; the Englishman is
afflicted with confusion of speech, and
the Scotsman, when he goes to public
dinner, especially if wine is included.
always hopes to leave the table speech
less"
