ALAMO HEIGHTS
TEAM GETS
SCARE
Newly-entered St Mary's
College Buttons"
Beaten, 60.

Coach HMule- FraZier's Alamo
Heights eleven uttered its tilt against
the St. Mary's College High School
department Buttons" Thursday after
noon figured to win by a margin Of
anywhere from two 10 six touch
downs.
By the time the two teams had bat
tied through four frozen quarters, the
Mules were oyerjoyed to drag q G.
too victory back to their stalls.
1t was the first game for each team
in the Junior Academic League. The
Mules" semi-finalsts in District 10
for the Class B championship of the
State Interscholastic League, very
nearly had their props knocked out
from under them without having 10
90 out of their own bailiwick. The
Buttons" unheralded but husky and
well-trained came within a hair of
furnishing a beautiful upset.
IT was only in the fourth quarter,
with a few minutes left TO play, that
Lyon recovered a fumbled punt, ran
to the one-yard line for Heights and
paved the way for the only score OF
the game. Taylor plunged the ball
over and a break had enabled the
Mules to maintain their unbroken

MENGHINI BUSY.

almost every play, the surprising But
tons threatened to score in the open
ing minutes of play. Their unexpected
offensive took them to the Heights
ten-yard line, but there the Mules re-
fused to bulge another inch, and the
ball went over.
Again, Just before the quarter whis-
tie, Menghini attempted place-kick
from the twenty-yard line, but il went
wild. Another st. Mary's drive toward
the roal-line was halted when Delery
intercepted a pass. The ball was IN
Heights territory throughout the first
half.
Menghini again ran wild during the
third quarter, making many first
downs by swift dashes around the
Heights wings, but he was invariably
halted as soon as he penetrated too
deep into Heights territory.
The -break" which provided vic
tory for the Mules came when Delery
punted 10 Menghini, and the star st.
Mary's back let it slip from his hands.
Lyon scooped il up and sprinted 10
the one-yard line before Menghini over
took him. Taylor went over on q cross
buck.
LAST RALLY FAILS.
St Mary's came back with a de-
termined aerial attack in the closing
minutes Of play, but their march was
checked by the final whistle.

Eliminating Fine Print.

Fine print that nobody can under
stand and harsh penalty clauses
have made contractors shy of Gov
ernment work. AS a result. they have
run up the price and the taxpayers
have paid it. The Government hasn't
been a good customer. so it has had
to pay more dearly than the private
firm or Individual. The new contract
form will smooth out these wrinkles
and put the Government back into the
preferred customer class. Excess
charges will then be eliminated.
Another thing this board is at
tempting is the writing of a new law
to cover contracts. At present there
are 294 such laws, patchwork of leg
islation slapped on at various periods
covering generations. Nobody really
knows all the requirements imposed.
The board is trying to make them
clear in single law. displacing the
294 now on the books. Congress, of
course, would have to enact such
law, but the board is preparing it
And that will help the Government
to get what it wants more cheaply.
Then there is the Federal Real
Estate Board, part of the dollar-sav-
ing machinery. 1t is a distressing fact,
yet nevertheless it is true, that until
quite recently nobody in the Gov
ernment service could even guess ac-
curately at the value of the real
estate owned by the Nation. The
board started in to make an inven-
tory. After long and tedious work,
it turned out the first complete real
estate inventory ever made by the
Government.
Every piece of property the Gov
ernment owns, except the buildings
located in the District of Columbia, is
down on the list. The totals run to
$1,178,754 $3.50. 1t does not include
the national domain. The value of
Uncle Sans real estate in Washing
ton is estimated at S375,348,777 That
is a lump sum; the estimate doesn't
value the White House, the Capitol
the Monument, ETC., separately.
Encouraged by this start, the chief

co-ordinator now has In mind a COM
plete inventory of everything the Gov
ernment owns. He wants to include
the animals, the ships, the docks, the
thousands of varied supplies. 1t is a
task worthy of Hercules. but in time
it will be completed. And then, for
the first time, Uncle Sam will know
his worth in dollars and cents t
What is more important, he will
know where all his possessions are
and that knowledge alone will enable
him TO save many millions. How?
BY making these possessions. now
held exclusively by certain depart
ments, available for all branches of
the Government. Some of them, of
course, cannot be used that way, but
most of them can.
Again, there is the simple thing of
specifications. A few years ago each
department wrote it's own Specifica-
tions for all it bought. Manifestly,
they varied. Manufacturers turning
out fncandescent bulbs. for instance,
for one department had to change
their equipment to make bulbs for
another department doing similar
work. Prices were high as a result
Now one of these unromaRtic Federal
boards is writing specifications for the
entire Government service. What
sSOeS ItI Olle department goes lOf all.
As result, manufacturers can af-
ford TO cut their prices because they
ford to cut their price. because they
are not required to satisfy the whims
of a dozen or more different buyers.
The boards specifications now cover
some 200 or more articles in common
use by many branches of the govern
ment
That work has led gracefully to
what is termed co-ordinated buying
A short time ago the chief co-ordi-
nator called a meeting of all Gov
ernment purchasing agents buying
automobile tires. Up to that time.
each purchasing agent had placed his
order without thought of the other
Government departments. AS none of
them, with one or two exceptions,
bought very heavily, the Government
did not get the full benefit of con-
centrated buying.
AT this meeting a schedule was
Evening star., 1925-04-16

made out covering the needs of the
entire Government for the District
of Columbia. The total ran to many
thousand tires. The chief co-ordinator
got bids on the whole lot and bought
at prices undreamed of before
prices away below the wholesale mar
ket. Why? Because the successful
bidder could afford, with such large
contract, to cut his profit. The tax
payers got the benefit of the saving,
and the Government itself distributed
the tires where they were needed.
Just the other day a similar course
was followed with respect to $4,000
pounds of absorbent cotton. 1t was
the beginning of policy, and that
order will be followed by other or
ders for other commodities where sim
liar savings can be effected.
Escaping Lost Motion.
What were conditions few years
ago? In a single department there
were tWenty-SeVen separate purchaS-
ing agents, each buying independent
ly. 1t often happened that these men
unconsciously bid against each other.
The taxpayers paid for this, of course.
That department now has only one
purchasing agent, and he conSults
frequently with other purchasing
agents for other departments. They
no longer compete against each other.
In fact, a central purchasing agency
for nearly all the Governments sup
plies is looming up in the future.
Then, for the first time, Uncle Sam
will make, every dollar spent for sup
plies perform it's maximum work.
Cogs, these are, in the governments
machine for -effecting savings For
out of savings one finds the stuff
income tax reductions are made of.
And that 1t what the present admin
istration is looking for.

Evening star., 1925-04-16

The businesslike shop where saw
lngS are made to order at Washing
ton has been cut up into departments.
In operation it is somewhat like a
great machine shop. A foreman is
placed in charge of purchases: he
must show savings on all the Gov
ernment buys. Another is in charge
of what Government sellS-a great
accumulation of surplus war supplies
now sold down to the vanishing point.
A third must manufacture savings
out of the money spent by Uncle Sam
for railroad fares and freight. And
SO on.
All told, there are, perhaps, dozen
departments. The foremen have been
carefully picked. They are not called
foremen, of course; officially they are
co-ordinators and other unromantic
characters. The Government is in
need of a snappy slogan-maker to
popularize them; the word "coordi-
nator" is fairly accurate as a desig-
nation, but it leaves one cold. Their
various departments are officially
termed federal boards-another name
without thrill. Imagine working up
enthusiasm over such a title as the
"Interdepartmental Board of Con
tracts and Adjustments.
Yet that high-sounding board with
the jaw-breaking name is saving the
taxpayers something like 1000 900 a
year through a single activity new
lease. 1t found Veritable saturnalia
of confusion over the simple question
of leasing buildings for Government
purposes. There were almost as many
different kinds of leases in effect as
there were buildings. The board
worked long and patiently to evolve
a new and simple lease, one that
would work justice alike to the Gov
ernment and the property. owner.
Finally 1t succeeded.
How did that save 81 100000? BY
eliminating some of the old harsh re-
quirements and making the Govern
ment desirable tenant. 1t thus ap-
pealed to the business instinct of the
property owners, and they, in turn,
could afford TO mark down their fig
ures.
That board is working now on
new construction contract which
ought to save millions more. A GER
tain builder, for instance, explained
that he had added $4,000 to his bid
for a Government contract-a sue
cessful bid, by the way. He was
asked why
We'll" he replied, 'the Government
contract has ten paragraphs of fine
print which neither l nor my lawyer
understand. l am afraid of them. l
just add $1,000 a paragraph; then /
can pay my lawyer to protect me in
case of trouble
In another case a contractor built
brick chimney. AS the job was near
ing completion, a twofoot snowfall
paralyzed transportation and cut off
his supply of brick. He was ten days
late in finishing the job and the gov
ernment had to penaliZe him 500
day for the delay. The chimney, in
cidentally, wasn't used for months
afterWard.

Emil Peterson
Dies at Denver
Former Kenoshan Dies at Denver on
Sunday After Long Illness--To
Bring Remains to Kenosha.

Word has just been received in
Kenosha announcing the death of
Emil j. Peterson, SO years of age, at
Denver, Colo, just before noon on
Sunday. Until three years ago he and
his family had made their home in
Kenosha. All were at. his bedside
when death came! Peterson had been
i'll for some time and death was
not unexpected.
The deceased was formerly a resi-
dent of Kenosha and had worked for
some time with the Nash Motors COM
pany. He was born in Sweden and
came to Kenosha with his parents at
an early age. He received his early
education here and had made his home
in Kenosha all of his life until his re-
moval to Colorado in an effort to re-
rsin his health. He is survived by
his wife, Anna Peterson and three
children, Florence Is, Elmer II, and
Dorothy 6, all now at Denver; and his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Peterson,
$50 Maplewood avenue, Kenosha;
brothers Eskle, Alfred, William, Theo-
dore and Victor, all of Kenosha, and
sisters, Mrs. Ellen Goergen, Mrs. Beda
Dahl, also of Kenosha.
He was a member of Modern Wood
men, Ke-Nash-A club and the Grace
Lutheran church here.
Funeral services have not yet been
arranged but the remains will be
brought back to Kenosha for burial at
Green Ridge cemetery.

LEFT TRAIL OF
BOGUS CHECKS
=
Joseph I'll. McNary, Dapper
Young Man, Is Strange
ly Missing Here.
A BOARD BILL TOO
In Addition to Cashing Checks
Without Funds, Mar Left
Without Paying Board.

Police here today were on the look
out for Joseph H. McNary, dapper
salesman who had lived in Kenosha for
the past few months and who disap-
peared several days ago, leaving a
string of bogus checks in Kenosha.
The first to report that he had been a
victim Of the clever salesman was M.
j. McGinn, a Kenosha barber, who
turned over to the police a check for
SIS which McNary had cashed at his
barber shop.
The check had been returned by the
bank on which it was drawn with the
notation that the account had been
closed. Investigation revealed that
McGinn was only one of several Keno
sha business men who had been duped
by McNary's suave manners and had
cashed checks for him on the day that
he left Kenosha.
McNary had come to Kenosha sew
eral weeks ago, purporting to be an
agent for a set Of law books and other
series of books. Apparently he had
done some business in Kenosha, as he
continued to stay here and told of his
success. He appeared to have good
connections and had several times pre-
viously cashed checks which were ac-
cepted at the banks. This he had done
evidently to secure cashing of checks
when he desired to leave the city.
Those who cashed checks for him
were agreed in declaring that he was
a most affable and agreeable young
man and had won their confidence by
his affable ways. Reports showed that
the checks which he cashed and which
were all returned as he no longer had
funds in the bank ranged from SIS to
$50 each.
Also Jumped Board Bill.
The police also learned that McNary
had left Kenosha without settling for
his lodging and board bill. In addi-
ton he had cashed one of his worth
less checks at the rooning house, this
one being for $50.
1t is thought possible that he may
be located at his old home, which he
said, was in Minnesota. No warrant
has as yet been sworn out for his ar
rest in the hopes that he may yet make
good the checks which he used in Sc
curing cash to get out of the city.

Gene P0tente Opens
New Paint Store

Eugene Potente, for the past five
years one of Kenosha's leading paint
ers and decorators, has opened store
in the former Turnock building at 364
Park avenue in order to give his rap
idly growing clientele additional facil-
tiles for service and materials. The
formal opening is taking place this
afternoon.
Gene Potente has equipped his
store with first class line of paints,
varnishes, enamels, and superior
brands of oils which in his expert
ence he has found as the very best
for his purposes. He is handling q
complete line Of wall papers which
will be among the most extensive in
the city. A feature of his new store
is his handling of an exclusive line of
imported hand-embroidered art linens
for his discriminating patrons. He
will also make the store the head
quarters for himself and his staff of
painters and decorators.
