A third points to the sum which
has been allotted by his administra-
tive agents to the various projects for
creating jobs.
The fourth shows how much of the
total plans for spending he has ap-
proved so far.
Finally, he is reminded by a nota-
ton as to the total number of dollars
available to him.
The task of moving the hands Is
simple enough. But the story of the
mechanism that, under the direction
of the commissioner of accounts and
deposits, makes this operation pos
sible is unique in the history Of the
Government.
There are three big jobs that fall
to the lot of these Treasury experts,
If they are to keep the President in
formed every 10 days of the standing
of his tremendous bank account
They do the accounting the
books They disburse the funds-issue
the checks to pay the bills. Another
Treasury division supervises procure
ment-directs the buying of neces-
sary equipment for the entire pro-
gram. And these three activities en-
tail the keeping of minute and end
less records which must, nevertheless,
be so simple and up-to-date that a
current operating picture of the emer-
gency program is always available
message that you can read as easily
on the face of the pasteboard dial as
you can tell the time on the face OF
your watch.
Every project on which emergency
funds are to be spent must be en-
tered separately on the books of the
Treasury. This means no less than
10000 separate accounts, from one
involving a few technical experts en-
gagged in a small research project to
the complicated figures necessitated
by the activities Of thousands of fam
lilies affected by the larger work pro-
grams. It means items ranging from
a few hundred dollars to those Of
millions. 1t means undertakings To-
Gated in every section Of Continental
United States, as well as in the Ter
ritories and possessions.
Against the money available to be
spent is entered every obligation for
every project through the various
stages from the time the project is
first approved by the President,
through the signing Of contracts and
leases to the actual paying of the
money. Numerous code systems,
adept workers and ingenious ma
machines that translate letters into
figures or vice versa, as occasion may
demand, make possible the up-to-
dateness Of this complex activity.
7 LIKEWISE, men and machines,
working with clocklike precision,
make possible the getting out of the
pay checks-approximately 5000 900
of them monthly-within an average
of less than one and one-half days
after the pay rolls have been received
in the various State treasury Offices.
And this process involves the check
ing of the multitude Of lists for &C.

Of the obligations they entail against
the bank balances for the various
projects and the writing Of the checks.

accounts for an entire governmental
program are being kept on an annual
basis and also on the basis of checks
issued rather than on the basis Of
checks paid" and returned through
banking channels.
OF what value is this new system of
governmental bookkeeping?
The President, in his special re-
port of January 9. 1886, to Congress
on the emergency relief appropriation
act, gives an answer:
THE accounting and disbursing
procedure combines in unified sys-
tenn for the first time in the history
of the United States all the features
essential for executive control over
the ALLEGATION, allotment, obligation
and disbursement of public money
And further:
"It is the first time that the finan-
cial department of the Government
has been in a position to know at all
times the unencumbered balances
under appropriations and the unliqui-
dated obligations outstanding against
the Government"
"It is the first time," the report
continues, that the President has had
available every 10 days consolidated
statement showing the progress of a
financial program for the Government
as a whole, by congressional imita-
tions, by organization units, by States
and regions, by types Of work and
objects of expenditure. In no small
measure, these results have been
achieved through the close connec-
ton between accounting and disburs-
ing activities under the same admin
istrative control"
That statement, in the formal Ian
guage Of an official report OF the Pres

The others range down from 8, 8, Z,

To qualify at slow fire the trainee
must make score of 70 per cent or
better-this is 140 points out of q
possible score Of 200. As soon as
the trainee becomes proficient at slow
fire he is given the problem of time
fire. Time fire requires two strings
of five shots per string, 20 seconds
allowed for each string. This means
the trainee must fire a shot every
four seconds. Qualifying in this Is
the same as slow fire-140 points
out of possible 200.
Having reached proficiency in slow
and time fire at 10 yards, the target
is moved back 5 yards and the whole
procedure is gone through again. The
trainee must pick up his % and repeat
his ability to place his shots with ac-
curacy in the target for a qualifying
score. In the meanwhile the score
has been pushed up. Instead of

ident, may or may not reveal its sig
nificance to the layman. But there
is something exceedingly important
to every American citizen written be-
tween its lines. The taxpayer who is
helping to create the emergency bank
balance against which Uncle Sam is
drawing heavily has right to ex-
pect his Government to know pretty
much where it stands, financially. from
day to day. And now he is finding
that expectation realized. Its like
getting your bank balance from the
statement clerk every 10 days, in
stead of waiting to balance your stubs
and Cancelled checks with the banks
monthly statement.
Now the President knows how fast
the emergency program is moving.
He can watch the various classes of
projects limited by congressional ac-
tion: he can study allotments and ex-
penditures geographically IN the diff
ferent States, according to the types
of work, the object of expenditure
(that is, wages, materials and the
like): he can compare the progress
of the various administrative agencies
and thus determine whether any part
of the program is falling behind.
AN EXAMPLE of how the informa-
- tion contained in the reports can
be transmitted into action: In one of
the projects, which had been squirm-
ing considerably under the spotlight
of publicity, there was something
wrong. Although work was in prog
ress, pay checks weren't forthcoming.
An examination of the figures which
pour daily from the relentless ma
chimes in Washington was made. They
revealed the trouble. The finger

F AND when, like Mr. Pryce in
that rollicking ballad with its
poignant moral quoted above, the
1 administration wishes to be re-
minded just where it stands in re-
gard to emergency spendings, it has
clock of its own to look atone

relief program.
This clock is kept in the Treasury
Department. 1t was made primarily
for the President When he looks at
it he knows just how fast the largest
sum of money ever placed in the
hands of nations executive is being
spent and how much remains on tap
in the national emergency bank ac-
count.
And when you examine this clock
to learn what makes the wheels 60

ism. The system behind the little in

which measures the flow of the river
of gold coming from fioodgates opened
by the emergency relief appropriation
acts of 1885 and 1886.
OF course, this "clock" isn't really
that in the theological or grand
fathers sense. There are no cogged
wheels and metal springs. The
works" Is a staff of bookkeepers and
accountants and a battery of ma
chimes.
1t is, In effect, a master chart, one
of many prepared by the Treasury,
together with innumerable tables and
reports which pour from the relent-
less machines. Back of these reports
lies mechanism, the compleMty of
whose structure, the magnitude of
whose operations and the simplicity
of whose final product take your
breath away.
The clock itself is q stable PASTE

a clock except that its 48 sections
represent not 48 minutes, but 48 units,
each unit representing 100000, 900.
The "12 hours" covers the entire

preparation of 1885.
THE hands attached to the face are
moved every 10 days to show q
busy President at a quick glance five
important things about his spending
job:
One hand points to the exact
amount that has been actually spent
from his emergency account.
Another shows the amount Of OBJ
legations that have been incurred
against what he has to spend.

and typists cost the Government only
s14O per applicant.
Usually examinations are staged in
Federal buildings throughout the
country or city governments offer
rooms free of charge or for mini
mum fee to pay a janitor.
The Washingtonian who makes a
living selling automobiles, writing
pieces for the paper or singing on
the radio is likely to regard the civil
service merely as department OF
the Government that hires the hordes
of clerical worker one sees pouring
into Federal buildings every Morn
ing at the Nations Capital. AS q
matter of fact, civil service employees
are found in every byway Of the
United States, at sea and in the air.
But there are scores of kinds of civil
service Jobs, all of which may be
filled only after the applicant has
been examined. Some examinations
for highly specialized scientific jobs
are held only every 10 years or so,
only one position of it's kind existing.
In that case, when resignation or
death creates a vacancy, examina-
tions are prepared and announced
before the job is filed.
COME of the jobs whose very names
mystify the layman are annealer,
barrel reamer. ditch rider. dragline
operator, clipper. flange turner, Gu
pola tender, frame bender, anglesmith,
mattress and revetment foreman,
snagboat foreman, nematologist, mi
croanalyst and winchman. The very
notion of only 109 people in Wash
ington preparing examinations in
these pursuits. complicated by hun

impressive. Few professions or trades
do not appear on the civil service
list. excepting lawyers. conspicuously

blers, marble polishers. nurses. at

les, radio operators. seamstresses.

Age limits exist for all jobs, accord

be from Is to so years of age. Marine
gasoline enginemen, who work on pa
troll boats under poor lights in heavy
seas, may not be more than 40 years
old, while men in the same jobs in the
engineering service of the War De-
partment may be as old as so. Air
plane pilots may not be more than 81
years old, although the present ones
average about half that age. Letter
carriers retire at IS because theif
