WHEN THE Ross is AWAY

Many Of us get the idea that if we should go
an extended vacation, otherwise drop out of
the daily routine. our business affairs would 60
to pieces. But that depends upon how well those
affairs are organized beforehand.
1t is related of Andrew Carnegie that after
one of his new department heads had been in
charge for year he sent hin, to Europe for six
months. If the department didn't run better while
he was away the department head was fired upon
his return. Carnegie's theory was that man who
could not organize department so that it would
function in his absence was not fit to be the head
Of it.
There is great deal Of practical value in this
theory, particularly in the case of large enter
prises Where the suhordnates feel that they must
consult the chief concerning every minor detail
they fail to develop the ability to make decisions
or assume responsibility. The chief at the same
time keeps himself enmeshed in a mass of petty
routine which prevents his giving adequate atten-
ton TO larger problems
The president Of famous northern hotel was
recently eOmplimented by q guest upon the ex-
eellent manner IN which the place had been con
Quoted during the past winter. II developed that
the president had Jus, returned after six months
spent in the South. lie informed the guest that
he had been away. and added:
Everyone seems to feel that the house has
run better without me, and that even the weather
vas better in previous years"

VIRGINIA TO CELEBRATE

s@as During June two significant events in the hi
tory of the United States viii be celebrated at Will
fsmsburg, Va, in honor of their 15oth anniver-
gary. A#
On June To- 1875, the Virginia Bill of Rights,
written by George Mason, adopted. On June
20 of the same year the first republican constitu
ton, Of Virginia was proclaimed, with Patrick
Henry as governor.
Thus Virginia had declared her freedom from
British rule and set up her own government five
days before the Declaration Of Independence of
the United Colonies was adopted.
The Virginia Bill of Rights has been called the
Magma Charta of America, for it became the model
from which the other states have framed their like
declarations.
For months past 150th anniversaries of
memorable dates of the Revolutionary War have
been occurring and July will mark century and
a half of American independence. 1t is well that
we should pause occasionally and reflect upon the
significance of these historic events and the deeds
Of those heroic founders of the Republic. to whose
wisdom and patriotic devotion we owe SO much.

A MOVIE sWINDLE

Officers and men of the Coast Guard stationed
along the North Carolina coast have been swndled
out of $4,000 more by two clever alleged NOV
ing picture promoters. according to the Elizabeth
City Independent.
The scheme worked by the swindlers consisted
of selling stock in a moving picture intended to
show the activities of the Coast Guard in saving
life and property from wrecked vessels and illus
tratng the courage and skill of the brave guards
men. Officers expected to take stock to the
amount Of $780, while enlisted men were to take
500 worth each. All were assured that their in
vestments would be returned in about six months,
and that later profits on the picture would yield
them about 400 per cent.
Most Of the members of the Coast Guard who
were approached are said to have contributed to
the plan but after nearly two years, no returns
have been forthcoming.
This is just one more illustration of the ease
with which slick schemers able to separate
otherwise intelligent people from their money. Tn
fortunately, all the warning which may be broad
easted seem ineffective, when pitted against the
smooth talk of a swindiing promoter.

THOROUGH INQUIRY
OF DISTRICT SOUGHT
Congressional Study oil
Needed Reforms Planned
for Summer.

Thorough and systematic investi.
cation of the entire municipal ad-
ministration during the coming recess
of Congress will be recommended by
the Gibson subcommittee of the
House District committee, which, for
the last two months, has been con-
Quoting day and night hearings un-
der a resolution authorizing an in
vestigation of affairs generally in the
District.
Chairman Gibson hopes to get ac-
ton before Congress adjournS which
will provide that u deliberate and
careful study of the entire District
government and administration may
be made by a joint committee of Con
gress this Summer. SO that report
may be ready for remedial legisla-
ton early in the next session of Con
greSs.
Specific Needs Cited.
The subcommittee report will state
that the investigation thus far made,
has only scratched the surface" but
will cite specific findings as illustra-
tive of conditions that must be i'm
proved by remedial legislation in the
efficiency, and in justice to the tax.
payers.
The conditions surrounding real
estate transactions which multiply
and pyramid costs for search of title
and research on each transfer; the
failure to send out real estate tax
bills and to notify delinquent prop
erty owner before the property is sold
for arrears of taxes; the neglect to
press cases in court against corpora.
tions that owe millions of dollars in
taxes to the District, some of which
claims have been running for 20
years, are among the things the Glib
son subcommittee will censure.
Six Bills Submitted.
Six bills providing remedial legisla-
ton have been introduced as a. result
of these hearings, and one Of these
for a new Police Court building-has
passed the House. Others would set
up a new system of commitment to
st. Elizabeth's Hospital for the In
sane, with habeas corpus proceed
ings: limit the number of wards any
guardian may have with non compOs
mentis cases or minor children, and
limit the commission such guardians
may receive.
The Gibson subcommittee also will
recommend a new division of probate
in the District Supreme Court to ham
die estates, guardianships and divorce
cases. and the appointment of one or
two more judges.
While the Gibson subcommittee
would like to consider it's hearings
closed, and while it is agreed that
