FIND THE MORAL
(Sandusky, Ohio, Register)

(SanduSky, ONO, Res1Ster)
The chief executive OF big cor
pOratiOn, whose time Is occupied
from the moment he reaches his
office until the moment he leaves
it, has devised a new efficiency
scheme. He has requested all his
employees and all his friends and
acquaintances, when they tele-
phone him, to inform the operator
in his Office whether the converse
ton they desire falls under the
heading "a" 3D." or &C."
"A" signifies that 1t is a matter
Of great importance that requires
immediate attention. "B' signifies
that it is mercy matter of bust
ness routine or OF social engage
ment. &c" means ordinary pifflc.
1t is only fair, however. to give
the results up to date, OF This exec
utive's experience.
With one exception every tele-
phone call fell into the "A" class
His wife, reminding him to send

friend who wanted to borrow few
hundred dollars, his tailor an

that their communication was Of
great importance and needed i'm

LET THEM HAVE IT
OUT IN OPEN

w IN VI LN
II charge that the Department of
Agriculture is lobbying against this
BILL" said Senator Ashhurst, in
speech delivered in the Senate, but
addressed to the Arizona cattle rails
erS.
Of course! Lobbying by cabinet
officers began in 1890, when Con-
gress refused to bear Alexander
Hamilton, secretarysof the treasury,
explain his finance bill, and rele-
gated him to the lobby, where he
and Jefferson (for once agreed,
passed the bill by trading the present
location of the city Of Washington
for the necessary votes.
1t has continued since, and will
last until Congress rescinds that
original blunder and invites cabinet
members out of the lobby on to the
floor. Then, visible, responsible
leadership will be substituted for in
visible, irresponsible influence. Con-
gress has chafed under the conse-
quence of that mistake for CEN
fury and a third, while practically
every other legislative assembly in
the world has demonstrated by prac-
tical experience that the other sys-
tenn works better.
Let Senator Ashhurst and the Sec
rotary of agriculture have it out
openly, in the Senate, where the
best man and the best cause can
win, or the people can find out why
not.

Eating more lemons in spring
keeps you from feeling like one.
Spring is the time for lambs to
gambol, but lamb who gambled in
Wall Street lost fortune.
A free-for-all fight is sometimes
very expensive.
The new college graduates will be
with US soon. Some will have the
polish Of college education, but no
education.
When a rum ship caught fire near
the Florida coast not one of the
boys stood on the burning deck.
Paying congressman more is all
right. Take them longer to spend it.
So they won't work so much.
A girl should never marry man
who throws her money away as fast
as she can make it.
The reformers have started worry
ing over what the bathing girls
won't wear this summer.
Ants have started reading the pa
per already to see where the spring
picnics will be held.
1t has been about seven years now
since 'petticoat showed.
Every man should have hobby.
And every woman a hubby.
1t is almost warm enough to prac-
tice classic dancing now.
Dancers exercise just about every
thing except, discretion.
Friday is only one Of the seven
days on which it is unlucky to think
you are unlucky.
Spring styles are so confusing. We
can't remember if they will wear
sleeveless dresses or dressless
sleeves
A charming little bathing frock is
not the correct costume to wear
while sitting on broken glass.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

1--WE must 60 and see the Toy
Maker at once" said the March
Hare.
"Why" asked Nancy. 1T isn't
Christmas"
"Of course not" said the March
Hare, "but spring is here, so that's
quite as important l must look over
hiA stock and see that he has the
proper things. Get on. my dears."
So the Twins got on the March
Hare's willing back and off he ran
like the wind to the Toy Makers.
| And they all walked right in as
though they owned the place.
"What have you got?" asked the
March Hare.
Crossword puzzles right up to
date" said the Toy Maker over his
specs. I mean said the Toy Maker
looking over his specs.
The March Hare looked carefully
around. "All right, I'll take one"
he said, IF you help me to guess the
answers"
Sure" said the Toy Maker smil-
ing. "Td like to-" ~
Nancy and Nick thought it queer
for a hare to be guessing crossword
puzzles, but they said never word.
He was pretty smart, the hare was,
and knew what he was doing.
"The first word" said the March
Hare, opening the book to the first
puzzle, "says What word in four let
tiers means something the children
like to fly on windy day."
"Kite!" cried everybody.
That's right" said the March

my companion answered "Look
how gracefully he kisses the hand
of the lady who has just come I'M"
Next saw him in a box at a re-
cital. This time he wore a gold ear
ring and gold vest.
At the time this is written your
correspondent has a terrific neural
gia in the head, but please don't
think the man with a gold earring
and gold vest is phantom born of
pain.
Indeed, this man has 40 of the
most distinctive vests in town. Fur
thermore, he has an earring for each
of those 40 vests.
This man is David Davidovitch
Burliuk, artist and poet. He can
afford those vests, nevertheless, be-
cause he was born of wealthy par
ents. That was AZ years ago in
Khartov. He is half Cossack and
half Tatar. He wears the earring
in honor of his Cossack ancestry and
the fancy vest in honor Of his Tatal
ancestors.
, Burliuk belongs to the futuristit
school. He paints horse hall
orange and half blue, the orange
standing for vivacity, the blue fol
energy. His poetry contains nc
words. only sounds, for it is Inter.
national poetry"
He came to this country two years
ago and in that time has sold &c
paintings, besides doing the stage
sets for plays given by wealthy Long
Islanders.
He did not have such success when
he began painting in Russia. HI
was one of the first disciples of the
new school and had to hold his ex.
! hibits on the streets. He even wen,
down into the coal mines to acquain,
laborers with his art.
He left Russia, going to Siberia
Mongolia and Japan. He held ar
! exhibit of his paintings on the peak
of Zuji, $1,000 feet above sea level
Now that he has found market
for his paintings and an appreciation
for his strange art he intends to re-
main in America.
And if The Man With the Earring
puts into practice his own pet theory
he will leave an everlasting mark ir
American architecture.
He believes the outer walls Of
buildings should be decorated with
immense paintings and foundations
and lodges with quotations Of lit.

ON HEALTH
HEART SYMPTOMS

Most people suffering \from an
organic disease of the heart are not
conscious of any pain, Mrs. Jones
learned.
But pain in and around the heart
is frequent with large number of
people, and when felt is a fair
warning that something is wrong.
The pain may be symptom of a
serious heart trouble or it may be
due to one of great variety of con-
ditions having nothing to do with
the heart, such as gas in the stom-
ach, intercostal neuralgia, muscular
rheumatism or pleurisy.
Being bit puffy" after climbing
a flight of stairs may be the result

POINTS OUT POOR SYSTEM

Two recent articles upon city affairs in the columns Of
this pointed out the inadequate system of accounting
in at the City Hall and for the existence of which the
president of the city commission is largely responsible He is
the executive officer and the driving force of any admins
raton and should to it that there is proper and
curate check upon taxpayers money.
Every department chief is purchasing agent without
knowledge of his superior officer Commissioners under the
present plan merely sign the bills they do not enforce the
proper control purchases give bills adequate
scrutiny.
II. A. Thompson minority commissioner, has frequently
called the attention of the commission to the loose soveny
in which purchases have been made and has urged
greater in the disbursements of public funds He has
received support and the policy Of every city epoye
being purchasing agent has gone
Disclosures of the i'm which payros handled
startling and should the taxpayers of the city
demand that the system be changed. Every employee
should sign the payroll There should be accurate time
ports The vest pocket payroll system used by the street
commissioner is antiquated and should not be tolerated.
1t is easy to explain how than $4,000 year
is spent in the street department under such loose system
OF auditing With the streets under and ice for three
four MONTHS it that the bulk Of the $4,000 is
spent period of eight nine months Surely
rifle load for the property owners of this city.

OF over weight, nervousness, lack
Of physical exercise, pleurisy or one
of several other conditions.
Still it is wise to investigate.
Heart trouble may be at the bottom
of it.
Swelling of the ankles is a sign
which at once suggests poor cir
culation in the legs. This may be
caused by weak heart, an obstruc-
ton in the veins, disease of the kid
neys or anemia.
. The swelling usually is more pro-
nounced when the patient has been
standing on the feet all day, Often
the swelling subsidies after a nights
rest.

Personality dominates in the one
case; results in the other. The world
will profit by both.
ONE WAY OF
DOING IT RIGHT
1t is hard to fit political machin-
cry to business methods. Witness
two examples, now in the news.
The House of Representatives, de-
spairing of getting log-rolled pub
lie building bill signed, finally pro-
poses to surrender uncontrolled dis
cretion to the postmaster general
and the secretary Of the treasury,
by appropriating Is millions a year,
for six years, to be spent where and
as they please.
The Senate may or may not agree.
The scheme is at least more en-
durable than log-rolling, which, un-
der existing methods, is its only al
tentative.
But the real business methods, of
controlled discretion, will only be
possible when Congress is ready to
admit cabinet officers to its sessions,
to hear and question them, as bust
ness boards do with their executives
and as, for that matter, practically
every other national legislative as
sembly in the world does with the
executives of it's government.
The other illustration is the pro-
posal of the United States Chamber
! OF Commerce that increases in pos
tai salaries shall be graduated ac-
cording to the places where the en-
ployes are stationed.
That would, Of course, allocate
most of the increase to the cities
where living is most expensive.

"What word means to spin around

THE PROTOCOLS FAILlJRE

The rejection OF the Geneva protocol for by Great
Britain and it's consequent fall at this of the League
of Nations gives rise to among friends of the
League of Nations that its prestige has been injured and
has caused to those foreign diplomats who have
based their hope OF to submit differ
to arbitration. The Geneva protocol substantially
provided for the avoidance of through international
arbitration The British view that taken many
sions by the United Staethat there certain questions
which will arise which can be settled only by that nation
The rejection of the protocol is the second great obstacle
encountered by the League of Nations attempts bind
nations in advance to peaceful settlement of disputes and
to outlaw The first important failure when the
United States Senate declined to approve the covenant
with its Article 10 which the rreconcabes believed pro-
vded for international police force to maintain peace
