CLOSE GATES Oil PETTKRjlFTEBS State Board of Accounting Adopts System to Do Away With Fake Bidding. NEW PLAN ECONOMICAL

BIDDERS FOR TOWNSHIP SUPPLIES MAY FIGURE ON THE WHOLE, OR ANY PART OF THE LIST. I (Palladium Special) '.Indianapolis, July 6. One ot most important pieces ot work the yet done by the state accounting board In the Interest ot economy and honesty In the handling ot the people's money in Indiana, baa just been completed by the Issuance of a new set of blanks for the use ot publie officials In receiving bids on supplies. The new arrangement Is almost certain to make It Impossible for any publie official to do any grafting In the purchase of supplies, and if this Is accomplished It will be a treat step forward in pub lie affairs. One ot the blanks Is for the use of township trustees In receiving bids on school supplies. Under the old method of receiving each bid there was no publicity about them, and It the trustee wished to keen them secret he could easily find a way to do so. Thu bo one could ever tell whether the price purported to have been paid for supplies was the real price paid or not Another bad feature of the old system was that in asking for bids on supplies the trustee made a complete list of all supplies needed and then required each bidder to bid on the en tire lot The bidder was not permit ted to bid on a certain part ot the whole list He had to bid either on 11 or none of the supplies. The re sult was that bids were manipulated many times in such, manner as to make the total bid appear low while In reality it was high. A bidder who had a special advantage on a certain article would bid a low price on that one article and would then stick on a high price for a number of other arti cles which he alone could furnish. In this way he would make big profits on the latter articles and would make small profit on the first named artl cles. And it always happened that of the articles on which he made a large profit a large quantity would be required, while on the article on which he had quoted a low price only a small quantity would be ordered. Stope Crooked Practices. Thus it was that crookedness ap peared In many of the contracts for supplies, and It was to make a continuance of this practice impossible that the state board of accounts prepared the new blanks ' for the use of bidders. In the new blanks all of the , articles on which bids are asked are classified in groups, and any bidder may bid on the entire list of supplies or he may bid on any group. For Instance, in the blank used in asking for bids for school supplies, the supplies are classified Into groups as follows: Bells; blackboards, crayons and blackboard supplies; diction , arles and books of reference; literary ' books; paper and stationers sundries books and stationery forms; floor oil brooms, brushes, mats, etc.; laboratory tables, cases, etc.; furniture, lee- . ture or assembly room seats; library , and wall furniture; equipment for manual training; bench tools; princi pals' rool top desks and chairs; furni turestudents' desks; teachers' desks, tames ana cnairs; kindergarten ma terial; maps, charts, globes, etc. school wagons; stoves; toilet articles window shades and guards; scientific apparatus; physical and chemical ap paratus, class material. Under each of these heads is listed all ot the supplies that may be regard d as belonging to that class. Sent to Trustees. The state board ot accounts has sent a sufficient number of copies ot . these blanks to each township trus tee In the state to enable the trustee to keep one copy on file in his office snd to send another copy to the office ot the accounting board. This is required because the board wishes to have in its own office the list of articles advertised for and the bids received and the prices paid, so that when field examiners examine the ac counts of a trustee they may verify in the board's office the prices paid for the supplies as shown by the books . and papers In the trustee's office. The examiners have In a large num ber of Instances found discrepencies in supply accounts In the offices of . township trustees. In numerous in ' stances it has been found that fancy prices were paid for supplies which were sold in other townships in the state at much lower prices. In such Instances it is plain that the peopl of the township have been the victims or a hold up and that their trustee has not been careful of their money; to say the least The board hopes through the Introduction of the new forms and by the adoption of the new . system to prevent a recurrence of this kind of business.

COUNTING BY TENS. And a Suggestion as to Why Wo Buy Thing ky tho Doxon. Did it ever occur to you' as strange that while we count by tens we buy

so many articles by the docen? It we ask tbe price ot apples, oranges, oys ters, eggs, collars, handkerchiefs and many other things we will be told so many cents or dollars a desea, or If large quantities are wanted so much a gross, which means a dosea dosen. How do you suppose this has come about? It was this wayj Nearly all savage people count by their fingers that is. if they want te tell you they have seen two wild beasts they will bold up two fingers, and if ten they will hold up both bands, and if twenty both hauds twice, and so on. Babies also learn to couut by their lingers and toes, and to many people it seems as if that were the only possible way. It is. however, rather a clumsy way, as you find out when you try to divide ten. Say. for example, you have ten apples. You can only make an equal division among two or five persons, while if you have twelve you can give ao eaual number to two. three, four or six. We find the same inconven ience in dividing a dollar and often have to pay 13 cents for what should properly cost 12Mi cents. If we had been born with two, four six or eurbt fingers or toes, like some animals, it is possible that we should have counted differently, but it does not now seem likely there will ever be auy change in the ten or decimal system, as it is called, especially slue' l be Arabic numerals naw used nearly everywhere are bused ou this system. Brooklyn Engle. SPOILED THE PLOT. A Display of Juvenile Affection' That Savod tho Mongrel. About three weeks ago there strolled into a Ridley Park bouse a dirty, disreputable looking dog. He was of no particular breed, but a general mixture of all there are. Out of tbe kindness of ber heart tbe cook gave him a few bites to eat. and from that time on, try as they would, the family could not get ril of tbe canine. The small children took a great fancy to the dog and named him Bhiie. Their father and mother grew tired of seeing Blule around and secretly plotted to get him out of the way. They feared to kidnap him openly by day, for there would surely follow much protest and distress on tbe part of tbe children. According ly plans were made for losing Bluie some nlaee far- from Ridley. Park by E10T-UEATE3ER Peonle should be verv careful at this

Philadelphia Record. ' .: ,.. -- How Japa Play Ken. In its most widely practiced form the basis of tbe Japanese game of ken is that tbe fully outstretched band signifies pnper. the fully closed hand s stone, aud two fingers alone extended, the rest being closed, scissors. Each of tbe players, counting one. two. three, throws out bis band at the moment of pronouueiug three, and tbe one whose manual symbol is superior to that of the others, according to the theory of the game, wins the trial. Superiority is determined on the hypothesis that whereas scissors cannot cut a stone they can cut paper and whereas paper !s cut by scissors It can wrap up a stone consequently scis sors are inferior to stone, but conquer paper; stone is inferior to paper, but conquers scissors, aud paper is inferior to scissors, but conquers stone.
