Todd of Michigan Discusses Public Services Havo Wonder- Jul Method of Bookkeeping Co-Operation's Part. London. Former CongroBSlhan A. AI. Todd of Michigan, who early last spring came to Europe to make an exhaustivo study of tho system in vogue among tho public services, with special reference to municipal owner ship, lias como 'o tho conclusion that tho best managed public service sys tems in tho world are thoso of Great Britain. "In Franco nnd Germany," said Mr. Todd, according to a London corre spondent, "I found much to admire, and perhaps even moro to condemn. So far as moro mechanical methods aro concerned both countries show many Important and valuablo im provements, but in nearly every caso their organization and management aro loose and .acking in system, ,whlch of courso means a certain in crease in the cost of operation and a corresponding decrease in profits Politics and tho necessity for pro viding places for party supporters may havo something to do with this, as in mj own country. "On the other hand, I have so far been able to find only one liolnl to criticise in the equipment and oper ation of tho various municipally owned public services of Groat Biit ain, and .that is tho construction of the doublo decked trUmcars controlled by tho London county council. Thoy are not broad enough or heavy enough at tho base for their height, and the danger of capsizing scorns to me to bo too great It seems surprising that bo few accidents happen, considering the tremendous congestion of traffic in moot of your streets. Perhaps this danger is discounted by tho superb, way in which tho cars aro handled."" Mr. Todd was particularly struck' with the running of tho various pub lic departments in Glasgow. "Politics Is eliminated there, and tho nolo aim of tho authorities seems to be to give the public the best posslblo service at tho least posslblo cost. Birming ham and Manchester are much the aame in many respects, with only mi nor Mfforences duo to a changed en vironment "Ono striking phase of these public service systems of England and Scot land, which I found well worth study ing in detail, is the wonderful system of bookkeeping and auditing of ac counts. I don't think I ever saw a moro perfect method of classifying ac counts on bo largo a scalo, where even tho smallest item may bo traced at n moment's notice, while n balance shoot can bo furnished practically on demand. In the published report of my investigations, which will be sub mitted to tho governing bodies of nil tho principal cities in the United States, I shall recommend the adop tion of this comprehensive system of bookkeeping in overy public depart ment This will not bo for some months yet, an tho volume of informa tion I have collected is very large, and it will probably take mo all win ter to preparo my report "At tho same time I shall sfart an effective campaign in my own state for tho municipalization of all public services along tho samo lines that I have found In operation here, for I bollevo no bettor system of really effi cient service could bo dovlsed In tho present stage of our civilization." But Mr. Todd's enthusiastic eulogy does not stop here. Ho has been par ticularly struck with anothorpecullar Ity of English civil life, tho big co operative concerns which have begun to play n leading part In the British world of business. Ho sajs: "Ono lnstltuto Thoso plant I in spected with the most absorbing In terest not only manufactures an Im mense output of suporior goods for the markets of tho world, but gives profitable employment to thousands of mon, womon nnd children under tho most wholesome conditions and sani OF WOMEN'S DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE ftV- tary regulations.

Following- a lino of reasoning based upon many years of experience, scientists nnnounco that tho real cause of tho revolutionary fever in Latin-American republics is not tho desire for glory on the battle Held, but is lodged In the ever-prosont flea. It Is asserted that sloop, undis turbed by ravages of parasites, Is practically unknown in Mexico, and tho states further south For this rea son, entomologists contend thnt tho explosive temperament of tho aver age Latin-American is in part, if not wholly, duo to tho fact that restful slumber departed from tho country long beforo the conquest.

London. Nothing- In tho narratlvo of many old sea lights appeals more strongly to tho modern imagination than the doings of the fireshlps. Tho idea of using Incendiary vessels for tho destruction ot a hostllo fleot was of great antiquity. They aro Bald to havo been employed nt tho slego of Tyre In 333 B C, and again by tho RhodesIaiiB about a century and a half later. By tho English, how ever, they wero first used In 1370, nnd two centuries later had como to bo looked upon as a legitimate naval weapon, their attacks b?lng regard ed and dreaded In much tho same way as aro those of tho torpedo craft and submarines at the present tlmo. The explosion vossels, or "infer nals," Invented by tho Italian engineer Glanlbelll, wero the most formidable. Tho designer procured two vessels of aboui. 80 tons each and laid along their bottom a foundation ot brick work. Upon this he erocted a marblo chamber with Ave foot walls contain ing 3,000 tons of gunpowder, while on top of this chamber was a six foot layer of gravelstones placed edge wise. A marble roof roso over these, and upon It was piled a quantity of round shot, chain 6hot, milestones, blocks of stono, Iron shod, milestones,' anything heavy which would causo tho explosion to take a lateral effect. Tho offect of thlB floating volcano wnB up palling, for tho masses of Biono nnd shot, disintegrated and flung skywurds by tho explosive, fell and destroyed nny vessels, buildings or men In tho vicinity. Threo years later tho Spanish ar mada beforo Calais wbb attacked by flrcBhlpB prepared by tho English. Eight vessels wero selected, and bo great was tho' hasto that not even their guns or storos wero removed. They wero ignited and launched, and with tho wind and tldo in their favor advanced straight for tho center of the anchored armada.
