launched against whVt he rightly termed a

"dangerous tendency." More than $216,000,000 in deficiency appropriations are now pending before congress, and

if , they are not curbed at once the chances are that .the sum will exceed this figure by many thousands of dollars. The president said he was sure that a basis of economy could not be established until depart

iments are operated within the appropriations : made by congress.

It has become a habit with bureau chiefs to : spend the original appropriations and then to

depend upon a deficiency appropriation to cover

; the expenditures that remain unpaid. It is

one of the means whereby they are able to : obtain money to carry out projects which are

'not included in the original presentation of, ex

penditures to the congressional committee, i The text of President Harding's letter follows: "I am in receipt of a letter from Chairman Warren of the senate committee on appropriations, calling my attention to the fact that esti-

mates now before congress call for approximately : $216,000,000 of deficiency appropriations and that the estimated deficiencies will run very much beyond that sum. I do not know of any more dangerous tendency in the administration ; of governmental departments, and I am very sure that we can never fix ourselves firmly on a basis of economy until the departments are conducted ,within the provisions made by congress. "I wish you would call this matter to the attention of the various bureau chiefs so that a Hike situation may not be reported in future." The communication will not only serve its purpose in correcting an abuse, but will also help convince the American people, who pay for these bills, that the president is sincere in his effort to reduce expenditures, so that a reduction in taxes may follow. ; President Harding's letter has informed the bureau chiefs that he will not tolerate an unneclessary expenditure of the people's money. ConTgress will take the hint and ruthlessly slash the .requests for more financial assistance.

patriotic body. Both the sentiment and utility

ox perpeiuauxig i uicrawry vi tne neuters uy trees dedicated to their names appeal powerfully to the patriotism of the citizen. The movement has spread over the country with a rapidity that is astonishing and gratifying. Reforestation of the land is a project which today is challenging the attention of leaders who fear that the removal of our trees may react with vengeance on our agricultural wealth. Trees prevent erosion of the soil. Whole districts in China have lost their fertility because trees were ruthlessly cut down centuries ago.

America can escape this fate by planting

trees where they are needed. In Indiana, the department of conservation has called attention to

the need of reforestation, and is aggressively leading the way in the planting of trees. The heads of this department have warmly endorsed the movement of planting trees in memory of the former service men. They realize that the sentiment in this movement will animate the project of reforestation and hasten the consummation of their plans.

National highways lined with trees that!

Correcting an Abuse Complaints from many parts of the city register the resentment of residents against the practice of delivery men in walking across grass plats about homes instead of using the cement walks which have been provided for the purpose of entrance and egress. They ignore the walks and beat paths into the damp lawns, spoiling their appearance and provoking the wrath of the property owners. It is surprisingly strange that a delivery man cannot see a walk, but prefers to cut across the yard to save a few steps. Certainly no delivery man is so pressed for time that he cannot use the sidewalk which the owner habitually uses and for which he paid. What's the use of trying to keep your premises beautiful if delivery men mar its appearance by wearing paths across the grass and tramping across property lines? Let him enter by way of the walk and leave by the same route. If he has business in the next house, let him remember to leave by the established means of exit and enter the next premises in the same manner. He probably acts thoughtlessly and without realizing the damage he is doing, but that does not remove the necessity of a courteous regard for the rights of the property owner. The proprietors of some of our business houses will earn the gratitude of residents by instructing their delivery men to use the walks and keep off the grass. Newsboys and bill distributors are not exempted from the complaints of persons who are trying to keep their premises tidy.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

; A LITTLE SLICE O' LIFE. T There was intense excitement t On Main street yesterday afternoon. I A large crowd gathered ; And moved down the street and J Was constantly augmented by I People from the side streets. Men fought for places ; .Where they might see what ; Was going on. and it looked For a while as though the Reserves would have to interfere. At one corner a man I Climbed up into a building

Where he could see what ' Was going on, and when he came Down he announced that the Excitement was caused by a woman ' Who was wearing a long skirt '. Right out In the street and ; It reached nearly to the ground. ; It was the strangest sight : That had been seen in this city ; In quite some years. ; The will of the late Mr. Oy6ter, the seventy-two-year-old bridegroom, leaves only $25,000 to the wife, but "usually when there's a will there's a way to break it. According to information received 'from the University of California, the tail of the Pons-Winneke comet will Swish us some time in June. There ill be a race between the comet and .the earth, but the former will win by 12.000,000 miles. The bookmakers are "warned to take this prediction as authentic and scientific and to put up their odds accordingly. No admission will be charged for the race. Any other planets or comets . desiring to enter will please send applications to the University of California.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take IV "Up" TOE IN-BETWEENS The easy thing is just to keep pace with the crowd and no more.And this is what most people do. It is within the great everyday crowd that the In-between Man gets. He can see that there are folks back of him and in front of him. He can also see that someone, much abler than he is, leads the crowd. But this leader has somehow convinced the crowd that be IS able. That took courage and work and wilT. It also took vision. You cannot "advance with In-between Ideas! And the longer you remain clutched between the advancing and backward forces of life, the more difficult it becomes to make a move toward real leadership. There was once a boy who tired of his home and went away to get new thrills. But he soon learned that idleness and dissipation sapped his life away and he longed to return to the elevating Influences of his former home. So, after thinking it all over, be said to himself: "I WILL. ARISE and go to my father!" You see be first decided. Then he acted. That is what you will have to do if you want to get out of the rut of In-between-ism. We cannot stop no matter bow many well-earned laurels we have won. With the moving of time, ideas move. The good thing you do today must be improved upon tomorrow. No one can stand still, or move listlessly or he shall become enmeshed, lost in the confusion of past things, or totally forgotten. Think and walk far ahead. And keep there!

Answers to Questions

C. S. R. As a reader of the Palladium, I want to ask you if Ireland was ever a nation? Up to the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion, in the 11th century Ireland was divided up into tribed or provinces, each ruled by its own king, subject to the "Ardri" or monarch, to whom the central district, called Meath, was allotted, and who usually resided at Tara. Each clan was governed by a chief selected from Its most important family. The laws were dispensed by professional jurists styled "brethons," who received great consideration and were endowed with lands and important privileges. The central authority, or "Ardri," was seldom very strong, so the national spirit was not dominant. Reader How high is Mount Vesuvius and when was Pompeii destroyed by an eruption, of this famous mountain? Vesuvius is 4,000 feet high. Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption which occurred on August 24, 79 A. D. Up to this time it was not known that Vesuvius was of volcanic origin. So the eruption of the year 79 was the first historically. There was no lava thrown out at that upheaval, only mud and ashes. T. F. M. Did Inauguration Day, March 4 ever fall on a Sunday? If so. will It do so again and when? It fell on a Sunday in 1849. 1877 and 1917, and will fall on on Sunday again in 1945. In the next 200 years March 4 will fall on Sunday seven times.

PIE PROFITEERING. The cost of living has been sinking and well it might; It was too high; and still the profiteers, I'm thinking, are charging us too much for pie. We chase ourselves to eating places when hunger in due season calls, and there we sit and feed our faces with soup and greens and codfish balls. The staple things bear modest prices, the cornbeef hash and garlic stew; the prunes and shredded beans and rices the poorest man may sit and chew. But when we come to pie the charges induce a pious man to swear, by Cleopatra and her barges, that someone's rake-off is unfair. They cut a pie in fourteen pieces, and charge us fifteen cents a slice, and we vould summon th policies -in our disgust at such a price. A pie bring in about two dol-

"WHAT I WANT MY STENOGRAPHER TO KNOW" This is an article for stenographers by a stenographer. Years ago I learned shorthand. Since then I have taken lots of "dictation"; also, I should like to add, I have given lots more. Which, after all, is quite as it should be. The way to learn to give dictation is to learn to take it. So we feel fairly qualified to answer the question asked by one of our gentler readers. "What does the average employer expect of his stenographer?" she writes in a letter which, by the way. has "RESENTMENT" printed between almost all its not too neatly typewritten lines. Some years ago there was held a sort of symposium on "What I Want My Stenographer to Know." There were contributions from representatives of almost every calling. The best way, of course, to answer the young woman would be to give her the "expectations" as set forth by the above people in full; but as this is impossible, perhaps the next best thing would be for the writer to constitute himself as a sort of human condenser, compress the "wants" of these various employers, and serve them so in concentrated, tabloid form. Speaking, then, for this entire group, and as one of them, I should say: First. A stenographer should be able to read her notes; anybody can write shorthand. Second. She should be an expert typist, a correct speller and a good grammarian; she should thoroughly understand the use of pure English and punctuation so that if by any possibility the dictator errs, she will be able to reconstruct the sentences properly. Third. She should know words, words, words; there is no better timesaver. Fourth. She should know perfectly the proper names which figure in ordinary dictation; she should make a point of remembering the exact spelling of the firms and addresses of the various persons whose names are used frequently, their street numbers, and perhaps their telephone numbers, since the dictator is apt to drop into carelessness at the very points in which the result should be most exact. Fifth. While taking dictation the stenographer should strive to obliterate herself as much as possible by assuming a passive attitude in apparently complete indifference as to what is being said; everything which tends to distract the attention of the dictator should be avoided. Sixth. She should always be on time, and she should always be graciously willing to do a little more than she is paid to do. Seventh. She should do all she can to relieve her employer of the worry of details and petty responsibilities. I have had stenographers who would handle all correspondence concerning a lecture, look after train times, telephone for tickets and sleepers, make a memorandum of the hour, place and topic of each lecture, and not make errors. Eighth. The stenographer should be neat in appearance as well as perfect in work. Clean linen, clean finger-nails, polished shoes, spotess shirtwaists all these combine to reduce an effect upon callers, employers, office associates and the general atmosphere of an establishment which is estimated in dollars and cents by the careful business man. Ninth. Education and live interest in current events pay compounded dividends. Tenth. The stenographer becomes more valuable Just in so far as it is UNNECESSARY for the employer to dictate; she should be able to receive facts, and with them write a good letter. Eleventh. She should be a lady in every sense of the word. Twelfth. She can and should utilize brain power as well if not better than ony other person who has some manual work to do. Thirteenth. She should be a sealed book as to what goes on at the office. The stenographer who can pass high on an examination along the above lines will never complain of poor pay. Incidentally my own stenographer is taking the dictation of this little talk; she is just such a one as I have described above; and it she should suddenly decide to "strike" next Saturday night I should pay her the raise she wanted if I could possibly afford to.

Dinner Stories

The unsophisticated young minister essayed to break the embarrassing silence that had fallen between his fair and extremely sophisticated young partner and himself. "Er have you ever noted," he began, "how opposed to modern ideas of politeness is the wording of the tenth commandment? I mean the part which says, 'And thy man servants and thy maid servants, and the stranger within thy gates.' The guest, you notice, comes after the maid servant." The fair one was slightly bored. Her answer came in a perfectly modulated voice. "No, I had not noticed it until you spoke, but it is as true today as it was then. He usually is after the maid servant," An even longer and more embarrassing silence followed. To the back door of the house of a lonely spinister there came a seedylooking person who, after being given some food, made so bold as to proffer this additional request: "Will you please ask your husband if he ain't got an old pair of trousers to give me?" Whereupon the spinster, anxious not to expose her solitude, replied: "I am sorry, but he er never wears such things.
