IMPROVEMENTS IMPORTANT FACTOR IN REDUCING COST During1 the past few, years there has been developing a rapidly grow ing demand for. applying the budget system to all matters of - public expenditure. ' Long after it was conceeded to be a ? flagrantly -wasteful, unbusinesslike way to do. our National Government went on in the old way with little .or.no attempt to correctly forecast expenditures. Then eventually, at the beginning of the Harding administration, a national budget system was put into operademand, stimtion; and a ntion-wid- e ulated by post-wconditions, has been made. for trimming of government expenses.. States, counties and cities .have been falling in line with, budget programs, tho the prolbem of cutting down expenses has proved a grievous one, and n? great amount of- success has been attained. Necessity for per- -, feeted budget laws and machinery, however, has been made increasingly clear; and it is in this connection that several important bills have been introduced into the present' legislature.

Telephone operators In Japan are called raoshl moshl girls, the term being the Japanese equivalent for hello. These operators are required to wear a uniform costume consisting of a sort of skirt called a hakama, which Is worn over a working kimono of coarse white cloth. The sleeves of the.kimono are not as full as those ot an ordinary kimono and are tied with a cord just below the elbow to prevent them from Interfering with the movements of the operators hands. The hakama has a sash tied in front. This attire is completed by a pair of white cloth foot covers and straw sandals. They wear no stockings, which is a custom peculiar to all Japanese women, except those who adopt foreign styles. .

Insisting that every man; even he of humble circumstances, shall learn and do too many things; so that he has neither the leisure nor the will to test Ideals, and, sounding them, to stir his Imagination till It transforms them Into something more precious and Important than the guise In which they first appeared. Modern men are proud of their activity, but the too active life spurns the contemplative, atrophies the Imagination, habituates the spirit toa heeding only concrete things. Gugli-elm- Ferrero.
