Charles R.\Jorbes at the Vet- ||| erans’ Bureau has cleared decks for the elimination of unnecegsary over- !|! head expense, duplication of work |and for the institution of co-ordi- nated systems of operation of all the {offices and bureaus that come under {his direction. To do this an indus- trial survey of the entire bureau s being planned under the guidance of Col. E. A. Shepherd, who established a reputation for such work in Wash- ington by his service in, the Shipping ! Board reorganization recently. First of all, according to Col Forbes, efficlency means the grellelt possible service at the least possible cost to the government. This, in its fultimate solution, means the extrac- !tion of the smallest possible operat- ing funds paid into the Treasury De- partment by American taxpayers. lThat is the basis on which the sur- | vey 1s being made. * > Cause of Duplication.

When these three distinct organizations merged under one head it was impossible that en- tire distinction of various units of these boards be eliminated on the moment. Result: Dr. T. H. Scott, executive officer of the bureau, walked through the establishment one day with Col. Forbes and found three different mailing divisions and three or~four different supply centers as well as similar distinct units which could just as well be combined into single cen- tralized units. 5 In greater or lesser degree this sit- wation prevailed throughout the en- tire establishment. Then Col. Shep- herd walked ifito the scene. He had had experience in the Shipping Board along lines similar in the gencral iplan to what was needed in the Vet- erans’ Bureau. Result of Survey. After a short talk with the direct- ing officials of the Veterans' Bureau he found that what was sought was: Quick service and speeding up of claims of the veterans of the world War. ‘Boy Scout News A call was sent out yesterday for all scoutmasters of the District to assemble in Epiphany Parish Hall Tuesday might, when Maj.
