Birgfeld Case Is Third.

Chief Clerk Birgfeld thus becomes
the third of the one-man-control sys-
TENS for classification definitely es-
tablished in Washington. The other
two are in the Department of Agricul-
ture, where DIR. w. w. Stockberger
has been head since the institution of
the system, and Interior Department,
where John Harvey several months
ago took over the work from a board
and is now known as the supervisor
of classification.
The Treasury Department, which
controls the largest personnel OF any
of the departments or establishments
thus has placed it's seal Of approval
on the one-man-control principle and
esta blished the new system in the
place most vitally affecting the pay
of many thousands of Government
employees.
The elimination of it's board of five
persons, officials at the Treasury said,
was no reflection upon the quality of
their services on the Departmental
Classification Board.

Stop Hanging Pictures
On Walls, Demands Artist

The hanging of pictures on walls
is as bad custom as some of the
practices of barbarian times and
should be abolished in civilized coun-
tries. This is the opinion of Bruno
Iaut, an architect, who has started
q movement to improve home life and
to make life more comfortable for
everybody, particularly the house
wife.
Writing in a trade magazine. Taut
asserts that the United States is far
ahead of other countries so far as
honey" apartments are concerned,
especially in the matter Of conven-
fences. Taut wants architects to
cooperate with women in an en-
deavor to bring about numerous
home reforms.
Picture hanging should be abol-
ished, according to Taut, first, be-
cause pictures are dust catchers and
therefore unsanitary, and second, be-
cause busting is tedious task, re-
Quiring thousands of steps and arm
movements each week, which serves
to get on the nerves of the house,
wife. To leave picture frames un-
dusetd, Taut contends makes mat
ters even worse. He declares that
wall paper should be selected with
the idea of soothing the nerves, and
that proper wall paper in q home
will make pictures unnecessary.

Result Non-Plug
Fishing Law in
Rangeley Lakes

A letter has been received by the
department of inland fisheries and
game from a Philadelphia fisherman
who has been a yearly visitor in the
Rangeley region for some time, CIV
ing his opinion of the result of the
non-plug fishing law applying to the
Rangeley waters, which was passed
several years ago. The letter reads
in part as follows:
I would say that during the past
summer. in the same length of time,
we note twice as many fish as three
years ago, and they averaged about
80 percent larger, in my estimation.
L am quite convinced that if the law
remains as at present, everyone who
goes to the Rangcley lakes will have
the same experience and will be more
than satisfied with the results"

68 Minerals Found
In Black Hills Mine

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Perhaps the
greatest freak mine Of the United
States is the Ingersoll mine, in the
Keystone district of the Black Hills,
from which 6S different minerals
have been taken. The mine formerly
was owned by the Harvey Peak Tin
Mining company.
l.. The minerals were classified BY
attaches Of the South Dakota School
OF Mines and by mineralogists who
have inspected the Ingersoll and 9TH
er mines of the keystone district.
In addition to amblygonite, one of
the rare minerals. which il among
the commercial ores, the Ingersoll
contains good deposit Of beryi.
AS matter of fact, one of the
largest crystals Of beryl ever found
in the Black Hills was discovered in
this mine, and the crystal is one of
the attractions for mining students
and mining men. Extensive uses for
beryl have been found.
Numerous other minerals with
unique names have been found in the
lngersoll mine. The price COM
manded by amblygonite is $50 a ton.
Lepidolite varies according to guam
tity shipped. Beryl is held at pres
ent at between $50 and $50 the ton.

Hereafter, if the efforts. Of a num-
Der of organizations and individuals
have the desired effect.goat meat will
be designatd by a special name which
will be comparable to pork, beef, and
mutton. The name selected by the
goat-raising interests in the south
west is "chevon." In reply to requests
for approval Of this new name, the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture has stated that there seems
to be no reason why this name should
not be adopted and generally applied
to the meat of this domestic animal,
and it, therefore, approves the name
"chevon."
The word "chevon" was created,
after long consideration of many sug-
gestions, by organizations represent
ing the principal Angora-goat pro-
ducing region. 1t was made by COM
bining parts of two French words,
'chevre." meaning goat. and "mou-
ton" meaning mutton. In other
words, "chevon" means goat mutton.

Birds That Keep Up With the Pro.
cession

Many species Of birds have shown
that they are possessed Of q progress
sive spirit that has prompted them
to take advantage of improved con-
ditions offered by the advance Of
civilization. Thus, says an ex-
change, the chimney swift, which be-
fore houses with chimneys were
built, lived and built it's nests in hol-
low trees. now usually finds CHM
neys more satisfactory and infinitely
safer.
The barn swallow, which formerly
built it's, nest on a ledge on the
side of some cliff or cave, a situa-
ton still sometimes utilized in the
wilder parts of the country, now
generally makes use of the rafters
of barns as offering better protection
both from the elements and his
enemies.
The natural nesting place of the
phoebe is a narrow ledge on the face
of some cliff, but the greater ma
iority now find that bridges, out
houses and other manmade struc-
lures offer more advantageous situa-
tons. and a pair is rarely found oc-
cupying the former site. The
martins and wrens, which once nest
ed in hollow trees exclusively. now
prefer the bird boxes built by
kindly human beings when they can
find one before it is pre- empted by
the ubiquitous English sparrow.

Will Restore Game
Of Golf in Germany

The Berlin Golf Club will throw
open its 1Shole course next year and
rcGtoEe Golf to the popularity 1t was
beginning to enjoy in Germany when
the war broke out. The new club is
between Berlin and Potsdam, in q
picturesque location, overlooking a
series of lakes and rugged setting OF
hills and pine woods. The new
club house is already completed and
workmen are rushing the work on
the course, which had been stopped
for 4 period.
The old nine -hole course at Span
eau will be abandoned by the club
as inadequate. The diplomatic corps,
especially the American, Japanese
and British embassies, are much in
terested in golf. The Oberhof nine
hole course in Thuringia is also be-
ing extended to an 18-hole course to
meet the demands of foreign pat

Although in few cases the COun-

views our relations have been I'M
usually cordial and have been based
upon mutual confidence and respect.
The Council is a long established In
stitution coming to us from Colonial
days. It Is not an affirmative body,
trary to the Governors wishes and
/, its function is to advise and exercise
restraining and helpful influence.
It is of great assistance to an Ex-
ecutive to have a body of we'll In
formed men to whom he can appeal
for advice and am glad to have been
associated with the members OF my
two Councils.
We all have enjoyed the comparl-

friendships made between us will be
lifelong. In years to come 1t will at
ford me satisfaction to keep In close
touch with my former associates who
have so diligently and faithfully
