ADMINISTRATION

~ AA"AA
1t is a arr thing in this country
to find a man so we'll trained in
public administration that cities bid
against each other for his services.
The city Of Toledo, Ohio, has just
appointed John N. Edy as City
Manager. Mr.. Edy was city man.
ager of Beckeley, California, at
$500 "a year. Flina Michigan,
hired him away from Berkeley by
offering him $4,000. Dallas,
Texas, offered $16,5oo and got him
away from Flint. Then Uncle Sam
drafted him as assistant director of
the budget. Now, Toledo has hir-
ed him to u the town, at $4,000
a year.
There are 426 American cities
now managed by professional, non
partisan city managers instead of by
politically elected mayors. There
would be more if there were more
trained administrators available. I
can think of few more useful or
profitable careers for which ambi-
tious and intelligent young men
might train.

TODAY AND

FRANK Parker STockBRlDGE

Unless the League of Nations
finds itself otherwise occupied, this
is the year in which it is expected
to take up in a serious way the mat
ter of calendar reform.
Most Of the opposition to calen-
dar reform has vanished, and the
main question now seems to be
whether it will be a 13-month year,
as was advocated by the late George
Eastman, or a 12-month year with
the months rearranged by subtract
ing days from some of them and
adding them to others. At present
the 12-month plan seems to be in
the lead.
Changing the calendar is a good
deal like changing from standard
time to daylight saving time; a lot
of people seem to think that it is
human tinkering with an act of
God. But our present calendar has
been revised twice since it was first
promulgated by Julius Caesar and
the last revision was directed by
Pope Gregory VI. The present
Pope has expressed a friendly atti-
tude toward further revision and
so have the leaders of other religi-
Gus groups. Think something is
going to come of this.
CHICKENS -. tattoo
The principle obstacle to bring
ing chicken thieves to justice is the
difficulty of identifying the stolen
chickens. Some bright poultryman
invented a method of branding
chickens and the movement for
registering the individual tattoo
marks of each professional poultry
raiser is spreading, throughout the
northern and eastern parts of the
country.
Cattle rustling and horse stealing
were made difficult and finally al
most eliminated by the use of pri-
vate registered brands. l don't see
any reason why it should not work
equally we'll in the war on chicken
thieves.

Professionals keep out. If you
are clever with your needle this isn't
for you. l speak for the woman
who makes her own clothes but
wishes they did not have hat home
made look. I know. Eve spent
more hours ripping than sewing.
Jot down these items in memory's
reticule.
Pre-shrunk all wool materials be-
fore cutting. A tailor will do this
for you. Or you al do it yourself.
Roll the material sandwich fashion,
in a heavy damp cloth wrung dry.
Leave twelve hours, unroll and let
the material dry in a free circula-
ton of air. Use more pins than
you think you'll need, to pin the
pattern to the material. Cut
with bold strokes and a large shears
for an even edge. -. Basic double
folds of material, as well as all
seams. You can't do too much
basting. Press every can re-
ligiously as you construct the dress.
Press particularly, all joining seams.
And press again when the garment
is finished.
Therein lies the reason behind the
well-tailored look. But remember
pressing means, with pressure. Iron
ing implies a stroking motion with
consequent stretch and pull to the
seams. Most pattern directions
haven't the space to emphasize these
points. So be fore-warned and put
these hints into practice next time
you make a dress. Careful sewing
has its own reward this side of
heaven.

a full load from Los Angeles to
New York in II hours less than
the best railroad freight time.
But the western railroads and
some of the eastern, with their new
lightweight, high-speed, air-condi-
toned passenger trains are finding
that their once despised passenger
business can be made profitable in
spite of the automobile competition.
This is the kind of competition in
which the public gets the chief
benefits.
ECONOMICS 80. fore!
Somebody remarked not long ago
that everybody is an economist,
these days. Certainly there has
never been since the early 1905
such widespread DISCUSSION of eco
nomic questions and SO much mis-
information and loose thinking
about them.
Thomos W. Lamont, partner in
the House of Morgan, gave a half
million dollars the other day to
Harvard University to establish a
new chair of political economy.
In making the gift, he said: 'Poli-
teal economy concerns itself as
much with the behavior of man as
a social animal as it does with any
known laws of industry and trade"
That, it seems to me, is the most
sensible statement l have seen in a
long time. Professional economists
r as apt to overlook the laws of
human behavior as the amateur
economists are to overlook the
mathematical side of the subject.
If Mr.. Lamont's gift enables Har-
ward University to discover a for
mula for reconciling human nature
and the cold facts of business and
finance, it will be one of the great
est possible services to humanity.

Assault With A Deadly Weapon
 Alleged Teller

Marshal Thomas Gaffney re- turned to Nome last evening from Teller with a native pris- oner named Nick Evan, charged in a complaint with assault with a dangerous weapon by Johnnie Read at Teller. It appears from evidence introduced before the United States Commissioner at Teller, that he was running amuck around Teller with an ax looking for John Read, whose cabin Nick is alleged went to but was barr ed from entering by some of MT. Reads friends. The commission CT after hearing evidence in the case decided to bind him over to the grand jury.
 MT. Gaffney also conveyed the news that the town of Teller was a thriving center due to the fact that gold and tin miners were having a very successful season. He further said the natives did well at fishing this season.
