TRE summer estate of forty years

thousands seek excitement.

come a bathhouse, with a beauty

has been put on a cash basis and

No doubt, the program we are
pursuing as efficient; no doubt, one
is able to plan vacation or buy a
plan much more easily than was
possible when Dad was a boy; no
doubt, certain communities have
been made prosperous through the
advance of real estate and increased
prices, but when all is said and
done, are people getting as much
good out of it as they used to?
Aren't we merely taking our jazz,

Little Variation Offered

nor those who can afford it.,
Il there are Pullman cars, first
class cabins and priced hotels.
For those who can not, there is
the flivver and 100000 miles of per-
fectly good road.
But the f1ivver offers little varia-
ton.
You start out with road map,
follow route number and race
from one filling station to another.
AS for the country-the hills,
green fields, forests, streams and
lakes-it just slides by.
At the end, there is little to re-
call, except how the old car took
such hill in high, what row there
was in the second all-night cabin on
the right, or where 9, good meal was
to be had at reasonable price.
If the vacation is as important as
we say, if a certain amount of rest
and relaxation are necessary, if it is
a good thing for people to get away
from the usual cares and worries,
something needs to be done, because
under present conditions it serves
no such purpose.
People are herding in summer re-
sorts just as they herd at home, suf-

congestion, but from prescribed
rules.

TREASURY DEPT. FORMED

TREASURY DEPT. FORMED
Sept. 2.
On Sept. 2, 1889, the treasury
~ department OF the United
States, the executive unit of the
government controlling the nation
al finances. was established by act
Of congress.
The treasury department organ
lied in 1889 was the successor to
the department created by the
congress of the confederation in
1881, Of which Robert Morris was
for time, superintendent.
The treasury is the most extern
sive and complex Of the depart
ments and in rank stands next to
the department Of state. At its
head is the secretary of the treas
ury, appointed by the President, who
is member of the cabinet and re-
Gives a salary of $4,000. He is
second among cabinet officers in the
line of succession to the presidency.
The department, as originally es-
tablished, was composed of a sec
rotary, a comptroller, an auditor.
treasurer, register, and an as
sistant secretary, together with
few clerks.
From this the department has
grown to be a vast establishment
employing some 5000 persons at
Washington, with numerous bur-
eaus, branches and Offices through
out the country.

There Was a Thrill

IN the old days, when people had
l. to do more or less shifting for
themselves, when it was impossible
to buy a two weeks trip with all ex-
penses paid, or step on the gas and
follow a road that was smooth and
safe for a thousand miles, there was
at least the thrill of individual ex-
perience, of seeing something that
your next door neighbor hadn't seen
dozen times, and of doing some
thing that everybody you knew
hadn't done.
The little old country hotels,
where one carried his own ice water
and lit the kerosene lamp, may
have lacked a certain degree Of
comfort, but they more than made
it up in the rest and freedom they
afforded.
So, too, the little old boarding
house out on some far-away farm
may have seemed very different
from the city, but in that lay its
real attractiveness.
The old style vacation forced
people to change their habits, to
get out of the rut, to realize the
presence of a different environment.
1t brought them into close touch
with things primitive, compelled
them to recognize nature close at
hand, and recreated in their minds
an understanding Of the sources and
resources which underlie civilization
They knew what COWS and pigs
