WHEN THE BOSS IS AWAY Many of us get the idea that if we should go on an extended vacation, or otherwise drop out of the daily routine, our business affairs would go to pieces. But that depends upon how well those affairs are organized beforehand. It is related by Andrew Carnegie that after one of his new department heads had been in charge for a year he sent him to Europe for six months. If the department didn’t run better while he was away, the department head was fired upon. his re- turn. Carnegie’s theory was that man who could not organize a department so that it would function in his absence was not fit | to be the head of it. There isa great deal of practical value in this theory, particularly in the case of large enterprises. Where the subordi- nates feel that they must consult the chief concerning every minor detail they fail to develop the ability to make decisions or as- sume responsibility. The chief at the same time keeps himself enmeshed in a mass of petty routine which preyents his giving adequate attention to larger problems. The president of a famous hotel was recently complimented by a gust upon the excellent maner in which the place was be- ing conducted. It developed that the presi- dent had just returned after a vacation of six months. He informed the guest that he had been away, and added: “Everyone seems to feel that the house has run better without me, and that even the weather was better than in previous years.” ABUSES OF THE LAW At a recent annual meeting of the American Bar Association it was openly admitted by prominent members that pub- lic confidence in the ¢ourts and their ad-|__ ministration of the law is being steadily weakened. A report was adopted. denouncing “the growing prevalency of the use of ex- pert witnesses, with their conflicting testi- This referred particularly to the use of alienists in criminal cases, where ex- perts may always be secured to testify that : the accused is insane, provided he has the money to employ them, As a matter of fact, lawyers in con- vention very frequently criticise the pre- vailing method of criminal procedure, but so far they have done very little to cor- rect it. Legislators are also to blame for the present state of affairs, but as most legis- lators are lawyers the responsibility still rests almost wholly upon the legal profes- sion. By the passage of innumerable laws regulating everything under the sun, and imposing upon peace officers the task of enforcing trivial and often foolish statutes, the perpetrator of major crimes such as murder and robbery have all the better chance to escape punishment. If more at- tention were given to the prevention and punishment of these serious offences, it might he possible to reduce their num- ber. DEEPEST WELLS . TNVEHe Svlntitecave Wading rocerds for height, oil men are -breaking records for depths, with the , further difference, however, that in the latter case the descent | is made by drilling tools and pipes, instead of men themselves. One of the deepest holes ever drilled into the earth, completed as an oil pro- ducer in Reagan County, Texas, reached a depth of 8,520 feet, or about one and five- eighths miles. It produced about 600 bar- rels of oil a day. Other deep holes include one in Orange County, Calif., 8,201 feet, which was a failure; a gas well near Ligonier, | Pa., 7,756 feet, and a small producing oil | well in the Rosecrans field of California, | 7,591 feet deep. Besides opening up a yast field for deeper drilling, the Texas well will make a contribution to education, the royalty of one-eighth of all the oil produced being owned by the University of Texas, which has already received more than ten mil- | lion dollars from its ail land holdings. When it is recalled that the first pro- | ducing oil well in the United States drilled i near Titusville, Pa., in 1859, was only 34 H feet deep, the amazing adyance made by the industry since that time may be better appreciated.
