RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 15.-The
Virginia Commission on County
Government took two groups Of
small, contiguous counties and
compared their operating costs
with those Of a large neighboring
county.
The four peninsula counties of
Elizabeth City, James City, War
wick and York, with total area
Of AIT square miles, a total popu-
lation of 40,l58 and taxable
wealth valued at $685., 1873, were
compared with Accomac, on the
Eastern Shore, having an area of
500 square miles, a population of
35,854 and locally taxable wealth
valued at $32,509,971.
Has Larger Area
The single county has a larger
area a somewhat smaller popula.
ton and a much smaller amount
Of locally taxable wealth than the
four counties.
During 1881, the Commission
reported, operating costs in the
four counties amounted to $5l3,-
$50, and in Accomac only $685..
$50. a difference of $113,983. In
1882 the operating costs in the
four counties were $472,984, and
in Accomac $368,547, a difference
of 104,437. Similarly, it cost the
four counties $435.58 more per
square miles to operate their gov.
ernmentS in 1881, and $4,000
more per square mile In 1892
than it cost the one county Of
Accomac.
Continuing the comparison fur.
Their, the Commission found, that
the first item, county administra,
ton, which covers the expenses
Of the board of supervisors, cost
in the four counties in 1881
nearly four times more than it
did in Accomac, and in 1882
nearly ten times more.
Views Of Commission
Each individual county for the
two-year period spent more for
county administration than did
Accomac.
The Commission said:
'It is obvious that il one
board can handle the affairs
of one county of 502 square
miles, four boards are too
many in an area Of All square
miles," .r.-.
Collection and disbursement of
taxes cost the four smaller coun-
ties nearly twice as much, the
recording of documents nearly
three times as much, the admin
istration of justice over twice as
much, and crime prevention and
detection well over three times
as much.

is not more concerned about the civil
service in the Nation than he has been
in his own State Of Kansas, we cannot
hope for much improvement"
A better word than hope" might have
been found for such an expression. And
a better word for Improvement" might
have been discovered by little dictionary
research. Reduced to its fundaments,
this comeback of Mr.. Farley's merely
amounts to you're another" charge.
And that means if anything, that the
basic civil service principle of merit has
been wantonly violated in both the Fed
eral and the Kansas public fields, accord
ing to Mr.. Farley.
AS far as the preservation of the merit
system In the public service is concerned,
the friends of that principle in the work
of Government administration are more
concerned with the actual demonstration
on the large national scale that has
marked the course of the last three and
a half years than the reputed perform
ance in one of the States.

glass can support the requisite wave
velocities. There probably are shallow
zones or limited regions Of CLASSY ma
terial but the weight of evidence seems
to favor crystallinity for practically the
entire silicate part of the earth.
MANY circumstances indicate that the
early history of the earth was as follows:
The primitive molten magma consisting
mainly of magnesium iron silicates, with
smaller amounts of other oxides includ-
ing water and considerable amounts of
metallic iron. first separated into two
layers-molten iron below and silicate
magma above. The Silicate layer than
began to crystalline at the bottom. AS the
solid layer increased in thickness the
minor constituents, including water, were
concentrated to a greater and greater
extent in the remaining liquid. Finally,
when the liquid layer had been reduced
to a thickness of few tens of kilometers
and was much richer in the originally
minor constituents, the crust Of the earth
was formed.
"One of the most cogent reasons for
believing that the earth is crystalline is
that in no other way can we easily
account for the fact that the crust
differs so markedly from the interior.
Granting that the earth once was
molten and well-stirred, we apparently
must admit that the separation into
zones on so large scale took place either
by the falling of heavy inSoluble liquid
to the bottom. thus producing the iron
ore, or by the residium of a process of
capitalization, this reSidium becoming
the crust"

When she wasn't doing either she was
preparing to do one or the other.
1t was fascinating to watch her, to
attempt to decide, from the preliminary
witches and shimmies, into which dance
She would go.
The father was a man who would have

Here on the platform he was firm, at

at any time since developments on the
other side of the globe threatened inter-
mittently to plunge occident and Orient
into conflict has there emanated from
any official or "semi- official" quarter so
categorical an calculation of Americas
position.
Mr.. Franklin tells us that the broad
side" to the Chinese electorate" appeals
for support of the Democratic national
. ticket on the ground that the present
administration espouses a program in
Guiding among others the following
items: Cd Greatly to extend the airlines
between China and the United States;
ca To respect Chinese sovereignty as an
independent territorial whole; go To
maintain the open door" policy; "a Not
to recognize Manchukuo, and 60 To
further friendly relations between China
and the United States.
1t may be argued that this tabulation
principles to which this country has
periodically given expression, also that
the Democratic National Committee does
not mold the Governments foreign policy.
Yet it is to be wondered whether the
approval of Secretary Hull or the State
Department was sought before the New
Deal electioneering machine cleared for
action in fashion bound to cause sensi-
tive eyebrows to be raised in Japan. The
Chinese vote" cannot be so vital a factor
in Democratic calculations that it Is
worth while thus unconventionally to
butt into one of the most tickliSh diplo-
matte situations now existent anywhere
in the world, with unnecessary risk of
giving offenSe in friendly quarter. The
circumstance that Mr.. Farley is angling
for Chinese support with such bait at
the very moment Toxic and Marking
are immersed in negotiations which may
lead to war does not make his ballyhoo
any the less reprehensble.
