All rights of republication of apodal dispatches herein are also reserved. . Checking Public Expenditures i " Fof half a century it has been customary for the various executive departments to expend the annual appropriations alloted them by congress then run up deficiencies and ask congress to legalize them . by making additional appropriations. It has been that practice which has caused the taxpayers of the country to realize the importance of establishing a sound budget system. Such a system will shortly be provided, for the

senate passed the budget bill a few days ago, and a similar measure will go through the house before the close of the week. In 1870 congress passed a law which provided that it would be unlawful for any department of the government to expend in any one fiscal year any sum in excess of appropriations riiade by congress for that fiscal year or to involve the government in any contract for the future payment of money in excess of such appropriations. j'To indicate how that law was observed, the records show that between 1870 and 1905, when the law was amended in an effort to put some teeth in it, $800,000,000 had to be appropriated by congress to make up for deficiencies. In 1905 the law was changed to provide that each executive department shall divide its annual appropriations into 12 equal parts and spend only one-twelvfth of such appropriations each month. The -law was further amended at that time to make it a criminal offense for the violation of any provisions of the law. Notwithstanding the determined' effort made by congress in 1905 to

keep the departments within their annual appro-' priations, deficiencies were incurred by the various departments amounting to over $300,000,000 between 1906 and 1917. Representative Fred Purnell of Indiana, one of the members of the select committee which framed -the budget bill, has called attention to the fact that the measure definitely fixes responsibility for the expenditure, of the public funds. "That, to my mind, is all-important," said Representative Purnell. "Up to this time there has been a sort of, vague impression over the country that congress is the profligate branch of

the government. I was agreeably surprised

when it was enveloped in, the hearings before our

committee that over a period of 20 years, with but two exceptions, and one of those doubtful, congress has reduced rather than increased the

estimates submitted to it by the executive." "There is a genuine doubt in the minds of the people," he continued, "as to just who is

! responsible for the demands made upon them

for money. This bill, if enacted into law, will absolutely fix that responsibility.. When the president presents to congress at the beginning of each regular session, as is provided in the bill, a definite, concise statement of the financial needs for the next fiscal year, the people will know that the amount requested is the result of careful calculation rather than haphazard guesswork by ambitious bureau heads. The people will also know that the president is ready to stand or fall by those estimates. When the budget is handed to congress the responsibility shifts from the executive to congress, and again the people will know where the responsibility lies. If congress increases or decreases the amount asked for, the people will pass upon the wisdom or folly of the action taken." Secretary of Treasury Mellon, in his recent communication to congress, has placed his finger upon another fruitful source' of extravagance, namely, re-appropriations of unexpended balances, revolving fund appropriations, appropriations of receipts, and other indefinite authorizations of expenditures.

Rippling Rhymes I By WALT MASON

J IN THE GLOAMING. JThe grayl of evening descends, my little trip will; soon be through; the thought to nie no terror lends, as my calm Jolirueyl pursue, lor I have done my, be$tr,inx:rteni3' and more tnan that na&nan can do. My best was but a .trifling-thing, I must admit, now that I mold ; I never could rear up and swing the harp that Milton used to hold; it wasn't in my soul to spring such music as .from Byron rolled. But I have toiled away with zest, my strains the highest that I Knew, and now the sun is in the west, and skies grow dark that late were blue, I know that I have done my best, and more than that no man can do. Old age is tranquil and serene if one can take a glance behind, survey the rocky roads he's seen, the struggle and the weary grind, and know his wreath, however mean, was still the best one he could find. The gods do not their gifts bestow in equal measure to the flock ; one man is born to cop the dough, the next must wait for ghosts to walk; one man is built to be a beau, his neighbor is a homely crock. But when it's time to go to rest, .the evening come, the errands run, the gifts and talents we possessed are measured by the fruits they've won; unless we've tried to do our best we've failed, however much we've done.

renovation fund. I would suggest that you employ it to give her a "bobbing" and a "perTmcnent wave" her present headdress is' so hopelessly out of date, Modern. Women--are organizing to promote universal disarmament, but, then, they have always disarmed the men. Greenwich Village poet offers $3 rev ard for the return of his wife.

ALIMONY COMING DOWN. ?'VifeTTo. 1 to Receive $50 Weekly Alimony'' Newspaper headline. The coat of livirg may now be daily gauged by the alimony settlements. The theatrical season closes one night and the new one opens the next night. Thus, when the actor goes home from work, he meets himself coming back.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" THE ACTOR He takes the big and little parts of us out of the great world and then he frames it all up in a picture and pleases us with it before our very eyes. He makes us cry and he makes us laugh. And he makes us think. Also be teaches. His is a world of reality made real again so we won't forget. Into his art he throws himself. For years and years he strives for perfection. And in "the dim unknown" does be sacrifice day and night. Fine is his calling! -He would work and work and wait. But he would win. And our applause is not always the evidence that he can go no further. For his attainment is no mean thing wrapped about an empty success. Today I talked to a white haired man who waited thirty years for fame and recognition. But with honors crowding about him on and off the stage in simple sympathy he continues to interpret the honest feelings of his fellows. "I am going back to my dressing room," he said to me, "to meet a man who will offer me $100,000 to act in Moving Pictures. But I shall turn the offer down. You see, I am not commercial." I can clearly understand why it was that one wan went to see this actor, in the play that made him famous, for the twenty-ninth time. Genuine greatness is so rare! There was once a clergyman who was anxious to see Edwin Booth act. But he was afraid that his people would take him to task for attending the theater. And so he wrote to Booth, asking if it couldn't be arranged so that he could enter through some side door and listen unobserved. The great Booth replied: "There is not a door in my theater that God can't see through!"

But last year things were on the down grade, and the other day when the two partners had finished making up their nine-too-i'ood record Tor the year, Hansen said: "'This would make anyone thoughtful.

B. CARROLL REECE. B. Carroll Reece, new member of congress from the first district of Tennessee, is the first man in that body who owes his nomination and election to the Boy Scouts. Reece is only

twenty-eight years old. He went to New York several years ago to get a business education and was a student at Plattsburg. He went overseas with an . infantry regiment and came back quite a hero in his home state. Two of Mr, Reece's brothers run a store at Butler, Tenn., and the

part of Tennessee and last summer

he organized a camp of scouts at which he gave some lectures or talks on civil government. The scouts went through many of the forms of government, including the nomination of men tor various offices. They held a "convention" of their own and nominated Reece for congress from that district. Some of the Republican leaders in the district heard of the action of the scouts and got the cue from them. They talked the matter over with Reece. decided he would make a good candidate against Sam R. Sells, then

Answers to Questions

Miss B. K. For the 'benefit of a reader, will you print a short account of the London Bridge, of which so much is written? The present London ' Bridge was opened by King William IV, Aug. 1, 1831. The lamp

posts of the bridge were cast from the metal of the French cannon captured in the Peninsular War. London Bridge is one of the fourteen bridges in the county of London. It connects the city of Ixmdon with South wark and Ber-

monrsey. The old bridge stands first in historical interest and has been famous for many generations. Bearing its rows of houses and its chapel in the center, it was completed early in the Thirteenth Century. It was 308 yards long and had 20 narrow aches. It stood just below the present bridge, which was built of granite by John Ronnie, and completed in 1S31. A widening of the bridge was found necessary to accommodate the growth of traffic. This project was discussed for many years, and in 1904 was com

pleted by means of corbels projecting

on either side. The work was done without arresting traffic. Curious What is the origin of the saying, "The sport is not worth the candle?" "It is a poor sport that is not worth the candle" is from George Herbert's "Jacula Prudentum." a collection of proverbs dates 1651, which has appeared in a shorter form as "Outlandish Proverbs in 1640."
