It's simply one of those things
which happen every so often in
human evolution. 1t happened

began to form into tribes, into

itself out of those pieces.

Too Many Cooks

The Commissioners are very properly concerned over
the careless manner in which heads of departments
of the local create deficits by spending
more than Congress approprates for the of their
departments.
The letter recently sent to department chiefs warning
against continuance Of this practice apparently was
primarily caused by the fact that in department
was necessary to down the size of pay checks for the
last month of the fiscal year.
Only by this method of docking employees was it
possible avoid creating deficit in the departments
funds which had been expended throughout the year at
a rate faster than that contemplated by Congress in
making the appropriation.
If apprOpriatiOns made by Congress are not ade-
Quate to operate city department for given year
then there is only one thing under the Iaw that can
be done.
THAT IS TO STOP OPERATING.
This of course, would be detriment to the COM
munity and would to be foolish
Nevertheless with the law the way it is and with the
appropratng policy what it is that is the only course
that can be followed.
Within few weeks the Commissioners will call for
estimates by department heads Of what they will need
to operate during the fiscal year starting In July 1881
That means that department heads are expected to
know now what money they will need in their depart
ments about two years from now.
Regardless of hOw efficient and hOW able the de-
partment heads are it is Obvious that they cannot
nO be acquainted Nth all of the conditions IU1Ich
their departments WiU encounter, say in June OF
1888.
Yet even after the heads make the best guesses they
can (and their estimates must be little more than
guesses then they don't know whether those guesses
will be accepted whether somebody with even less
knowledge of what may develop may not arbitrarily
cut or raise their guess

what to do-where to aim. But
that's over. His framework has
been swept away. The Machine
Age has demolished it. Yet life
can't accomplish anything or sur
vive without a framework. So
what?
So it's up to you to make frame
work for yourself.
If there's no order around you
you can still establish it within
yourself. If the worlds program
is mishmash, yours can still have
sense and sequence.
The human being who wants a
powerful and profitable life can
still achieve one though the whole
social structure be shot to pieces
if he'll budget his time and energy,
aim his efforts and take whatever
he does seriously.
It CAN be done. Millions have
done it in other transition times.
Millions are doing it today. You
CAN stand steady even though
the Status Quo is turning Somer-
saultS. You CAN be as useful
a citizen as your mother was,
Mary. as much a power as your
father was, Bill. even though
you both must use different tools,
buck different environments, to
achieve that end.
OTHER SIDE
The old-fashioned home has
gone. So has the old-faShioned
job. And neither Of them will re-
turn. BUT, THANKS BE TO
GOD, THE OLD-FASHIONED
HUMAN BACKBONE rs STILL
FUNCTIONING, AND NO MAN
NEED TAKE THE COUNT
WHILE HIS SPINAL COLUMN is
STILL INTACT.
You don't HAVE to spend half
your mornings and all your after
moons gossiping over the phone,
Mary, visiting in beauty parlorS or
hotel Hobbies, window shopping
and being generally sorry for
yourself, simply because you can't
live in the big house your mother
owned in 1886. You can establish
happiness and hope in the most
cramped apartment Of 1851
you'll cut out cry-babying and pro-
coed to do a real woman's job.
You don't have to spend your
days loafing in some pool room or
labor hall, Bill, beefing at the
set-up and telling what a bum
break you've had, just because you
can't run a ranch or business as
your father did. You can become
a leader in your community If you
have to start by collecting garbage
or patching shingleS-if you'll stop
being a tramp and get busy.
Never has the world faced such
chaos, it is true. But there's an
other side to the picture. Never
has the world so needed, apprecl-
ated and rewarded the human be-
ing who can stand steady and
keep cool in the face of that
chaos.
So it's up to you, Mary and Bill.
You can't change evolution, but
you certainly can do a job on
yourself. And until you've done
it-nix on the whining!

"Mr. Speaker, and Members

chrysalis SlOughed off its drab
coat of reactiOnary and special

emerged as a beautiful butter

"TO high finance has been
given the knowing wink of as

success would promptly restore
the happy days Of deflatiOnary
