The Auditor Business

The cost Of auditing accounts has been recognized
for years as a necessary item in operating any bust
ness; and in the last decade We have realized audits
are necessary in our local and state government. The
state Of Texas is having its first official audit made.
The man in charge. Moore Lynn. is hewing to the
line. Where he finds errors he points them out.
His work has been under barrage Of criticism. first
by this offended party and next by another. It's a
case Of whose toes get stepped on.
II is TO be hoped that nj. .-1n and hts d707rt-
ment will soon bring all accounts up to date. When
this is done. when errors are cured. then his WORK
will be Of another sort. Instead Of pryinE through
records Of the last five years. his department Will be
ready TO give its attention 10 current records ana
prevention Of errors.
The latest announcement from Mr.. Lynns office
concerned a regretable disorder in the accounts Of
the Confederate home. OF which A. W Taber IS su-
perintendent. The disorder concerns a relatively
small sum. and all evidence points that IL resulted
from inadequate record-keeping. AS Mr.. Taber de-
clared for himself as he offered his resignation to
the board Of control. We have supreme confidence
that every act (of mine) has been honest and in the
best interest Of the institution and its inmates"
Now is the time to repair the accounting system at
the Confederate home; now the auditor may check
its records monthly and help correct errors as they
occur-not report them at the end Of a five-year
period.

Why doesn't someone do anything
about something?
II Is said that the way Of a
transgressor is hard. but the way Of
a newspaper reporter when there is
no news is terrible. In comparison,
the transgressor IS sitting pretty.
Everything is cake and ice cream.
If a reporter doesn't bring in the
news. it's Just like coming home
without the bacon.
And here's what happens.
Editor. Well, what's new today?
What have you got?
Reporter: Not a thing. Everything
is dead around town.
Editor: What. no news?
Reporter: Yep, no news.
Editor: Say. what do you think
the Herald is, a weekly magazine?
There's bound 10 be something hap
peninE.
Reporter: Not a thing.
Editor: This is becoming a habit,
and a bad habit.

find your check?
Reporter: No, / didn't. Where is

Coming Up
Southern football is coming up In
the world.
In years gone by. II vas known
that football was being played in
the south. bu. eastern critics
thought little Of II. Football was
beng played on back lots in the
east and those who knew football
thought that back-lot football and
southern football we're about the
same.
And then a big eastern team sche-
duled a game with a Southwestern
Conference team. just as a sort OF
practice game. The eastern team
went home much wiser.
This has continued. and team
after team that was pitted against
Texas and other southern teams
found tough shedding. s. M. U.
taught the Navy many little fine
points about football last Saturday,
and now eastern magazines and
sports writers are beginning to con-
slider this section as a real football
producer. The last issue Of Time,
the news magazine. gave this N
ference as much space as other
sections. and doubtless this policy
will continue.

Though her lips trembled. she was

A terrific sensation that everything

Celia reached the entrance Of tn.

Jordan laughed but stopped short

There vas no more said a,out

Celia answered as best she could.
Presently both Of them lapsed into
silence. Celia vas reviewing over

Barney. and the older woman ap-
parently was busy with her
thoughts.

Celia brought the metal cylinder.
Evelyn lighted a cigaret. held IL 10

The Once Over
ELMER TWITCHELL SHEDS A TEAR FOR

BY a I. PHILLIPS

We'll" said Elmer Tw1tchel Il have been talking
to the pessimists. and it's all clear to me why The
stock market Is having so many sinking spells.
America is finished as a great country. There will
never be any business in it to speak Of again.
The chief thing that's hanging over the stock
market just now. though. is President Hoover's dis
appearance. Didn't you know President Hoover had
disappeared? Yes. sir He decided there was no use
wasting time as head Of a country that had no flu
ture. so he packed up and dropped out of sight. No.
body knows where he is. Andrew Mellon. Secretary
Of the Treasury. has vanished too. The minis been
closed for months and. while its being kept from
the public, the White House was destroyed by a Red
mob away back IN June.
And another thing: there's really no such thing
any more as the Stock Exchange. It was sold for
debts more than a month ago. and all the quotations
the papers print every night are just drawn out Of a
hat. Henry Fordis moved most Of his plants TO Eu-
rope. General Motors has ceased making cars and :
converting It's plants into indoor Tom Thumb golf
courses. and the United States Steel Corporation has
been getting succor from charity for six month";
Only a few American railroads are running. A
lot Of people think they see many trains a day pass
through the town. but it's really one and the same
train. The company keeps it running back and forth
to keep the public from s~uspecting anythings wrong.
The Standard OIL Company hasn't operated since
last October and John D. Rockefeller is selling apples
at Fifty-ninth street and Broadway. He's ~incognito,
but It will al leak out in due time.
The General Electric plants have seen the use
lessness Of going ahead making electrical supplies.
Sensing that the American public i tired Of comforts
and Injuries, the company has decided to remodel its
factories to make high-wheeled bicycles, kerosene
lamps and old-fashioned washtubs.
All the big telephone. telegraph and radio COM
panies have practically shut UP shop. as it's been dis
covered that the average American IS determined 70
90 back TO the age Of communication by smoke sig
mails.
Yes, sir concluded Elmer sadly. &C he wiped
away the tears, America is sunk. She'll never be
any good again. She's finished. ruined. dead. And
1t seems a shame. She was so young and pretty"
