Next time you sit In a room, the furnishings of which Include a bowl of goldfish, considei* how much time you spgnd watching the small tlsh as they swim slowly about or dart about in pursuit of each other. Probably you will conclude you were indulging the usual tendency of -the normat person to be attracted to moving objects. In sick persons and convalescents this tendency is more pronounced, and In the aged_ and very yoimgltls, still more so. That of this attraction was given by Dr. Edtvard N. Leavy, formerly veterinarian to the animals In Central park zoo. lie is now connected with a Fifth avenue pet store. “Sick persons lying In bed spend a great deal of tlme watchlng the goldfish if an aquarium is In their room,” he said. “It takes their minds off their pains and aches and is very beneficial.” <* Canaries shnre with goldfish the -honor of being the chief animate entertainment to the sick. —New York Sutp -. • <.

From a telegram recently received by tl>e district superintendent of an Indian railway from a Babtl station master: "Coming on duty early In the morning clad In my new and white uniform I perceived a man seated on a box In a naked and aggressive manner. Taking him to be an ordinary passenger, I proceeded to slap him, whereupon lie hastily arose, unlocked the said box, clad hlrtiselfin a policeman's uniform he took thereottt- and arrested me.

VI. HIRE GOVERNMENT HELP Thu civil-service commission hires all employees In the classified service of the government. The only thing to be said about the classified service, is that it has not yet been classified. But you shall hear what the civil service commission has to say about hiring help, without comment from me. There is t>n utter lack of definitely" planned and well-organized employment policy In the government service. There is need for a centralized employment office with jurisdiction in all matters relating to employment. The employment methods of the government should be such as to serve for a model for private business. There is at present no central control over the executive service short of the President. The President is a busy man nnd cannot concern himself with the details of the executive departments. . The lack of efficiency In government offices has a marked effect on private business. Definite Information concerning the number of federal civil employees in different branches of the service and the amount of the government pay roll are not readily available. An official register, or blue book, is issued every two yenrs. It is out of date long before it Is printed. A provision of the civil service rules theoretically gives the civil service commission authority to collect and maintain complete personnel statis-tics.-The labor and expense involved, however, practically prohibit the collection and compilation of-reliable sta-, tistical data. In addition to the limits of the corm" mission’s authority Is the absence of authority to enforce Its findings. The commission can make recommendations to the departments and offices and urge their observance, but it cannot enforce them. Congress passed what Is known as the civil service law January 16, 1883. This act created the United States civil service commission. The law was cure in part the evils traceable to the spoils system, which out of- the four-year-tenure-of-offlee act of 1820.

Secretary Mellon of the treasury, in “Tfcedgtter to Representative Fordney, the committee on ways ana means o? s> Hie a house of representatives, say's: “OnifiiaTy expenditures for the first three quarters'T£4he fiscal year, 1021, have been s3,7Bfh7Ti>-_ 05K5.74, or at the rate of about $5,000,000,000 for the year. . . According to the latest estimates of the spending departments. . . ordinary expenditures during the fiscal ypar, 4922, in eluding interest on the public debt, will be Over $4,000,000,000.; ' *. “The nation cannot continue to spend at this shocking rate. As the. President said in his message, the burden is unbearable, and there are two uvenues of relief. Tine Is resistance In appropriation and, the other is tile -utmost economy in administration.’ ’’ U. C. LefSngwell, formerly an assistant secretary Os the treasury, whom ' I have quoted previously, in these articles, 'Bndjvho is still deeply and actively interested fn securing retrenchment in national expenditures, commenting ou tills utterance of Secretary Mellon, says:. “jVliy shouliTthere be retrenchment in' public expenditure? Why does the secretary of the treasury speak.of current-anil estimated expenditures ns shocking? What Is the effect?

“Government expenditures must be met from'taxes. To the extent that they are met promptly from taxes and from honest taxes directly laid upon the Incomes of the people, and in propoftion to those incomes, exaggeration of ttie eyil of government expenditure is avoideif.' ‘Governmagt expenditure takes the money of-ail the people for the supposed benefit of a ponton of Hie- people, honestly or dishonestly, equally or unequally, avowedly by direct taxation, or surreptitiously by the indirect taxation which results from Inflation of currency and credit and of the public debt. - “Government expenditure takes the fruits of the earth and the labor of the people and diverts.them from the productive nnclreproductive enterprises of men, from the noturnl ohjoyr ment of the men, who by their prudence, foresight and effort, created the wealth and made it available,’to the sometimes benevolent and sometimes belligerent, but almost always economically wasteful, purposes of government. - “Government exploits all of its for the benefit, or supposed benefit, of •oixe of. us.

government except those of the Pres Ident aiid vice president. It was the established usage during these first 40 years' to permit executive officers except members of the cabinet, to hold office for an unliniited period during good behavior. The practice was changed In 1820 by the four-year-ten-ure net. The spoils system, as It was officially described as early us_lS3s,.waa..lntroftecey'ahd extended until It permeated the entire civil service of the country. The fundamental purpose of the civil service law was to establish, In the parts of the service. covered by its provisions, a’ merit system whereby selection for appointment should be made upon the basis of demonstrated relative fitness, without regard to political, religious, or other such considerations. The act requires that the rules shall provide, among other things, for open competitive examinations for testing the fitness of applicants for the classified service, the making of appointments from among those passing with highest grades, an apportionment of appointments in the departments at Washington among the states and territories, u period of probation before absolute appointment and the prohibition of the use of official authority to coerce the political:action of any person or body. In ISB3, the year in which the civil service law was enacted, 13,924 positions in the civil service we/e. made subject to competition. The entire Humber of positions In the federal executive civil service on June 20. 1916, was 480,327. At the height of the war expansion there were upprox'Ima'tely 1,000,000 men nnd women em--pjoyed in the federal executive civil service,, about 700,000 of whom held positions subject to competition. On July 31, 1920, Ahe^gntire number of federal executive as nearly as can be estimated, hnd..beeß reduced to 691,116. Approxlmatelys. 450,000 of these were subject to competition, or. In other words, In the classified service. The force Is still slowly but steadily decreasing. During the 19 months of our participation in the war the civil service commission gave competitive examinations under the civil service law and rules to slightly less than 1,000,000 persons, and about 400,000 persons witff -tested qualifications were supplied by th£ commission t 0 the service. A nor'lrmtyearA' 'buslness Is about 200.000 persons examined and about 50,000 appointed. ' .

aspirations of men for a better world or a better distribution of the good things of this earth; government imposes upon all of us evef-fnereastns burdens in the effort to benefit vociferous and organized minorities. ‘‘Each of the executive departments is* ream-nod to Improve Its service and to dl§eevgr new and useful fields of service. The ejjtlre organization of the army, of the each of the departments." 'lndependenC'-afißes and agencies of tjie government. Is de'evote_d to an Important task. Its par-' ticular function seems of vital usefulness, even necessity. Experts in each are alive to its defects and to the opportunities for usefulness which have not been availed of. "The secretary, or other head of the department, drawn from private life, perhaps wholly Ignorant at the -outset of tiie nature and extent of Its problems, promptly becomes the advocate -of the" 'peliries and demands of his permanent usS’istauts and bureau chiefs. If he does not beeome such advocate, he . may break down the morale of his organization’.an<i possibly lose the confidence of his personnel.

“Behind it all is the pressure of organized interests in the,constituencies, \vhigh are tbe beneficiaries of-specitic dans, executive departments, senators and congressmen. The strident voice of greed is heard in the market place and in legislative bails; the voice of the people is barely audible; “The fact that each project is considered separately, without reference, either in executive departments or congress, to ways and means of financing it, prevents Concentration of popular opinion on the awful total. All agree that there must be economy, hut us each itenr is presented all seemingly agree that that Is not the proper field for economy.
