Churches are veering over to the paid quartet system in increasing numbers. The system has its conveniences. Singers paid to perform are boudd to do so. The volunteers, lacking such an incentive, are mot in duty bound to attend rehearsals or even to attend divine services. Nothing is | more disconcerting to the leader of | the war department than to have a fancy anthem programmed and find the, two leading singers absent. Yet there was a time in country when church choir lofts _.were filled with eager and youthful ~faces and it was a pleasure to not: this evidence of enthus such churches are in the minority Not being occupied in the choir loft many of the young folks not in the pews, either.

Agitation for the creation of an| office of accountant who would at- tend to no other matters is not ex- pected to make an inpression on the charter-revision committee. It is argued that such an office holder would be a political appointee who, in reviewing the city’s books, would be careful not to step on the toes of favored officials. It is doubtful whether an.appointec of this type would he as satisfactory in the end as a disinterested accountant who has no connection with the city government and who does not de- icent in the number of people tour- shooting of County Policeinan Ern- est Schubert early today was not fatal.

It is likewise argued that the city could not afford to pay a salary which an accountant would require whereas it could afford to pay an accounting firm a suitable fec each year for an inspection of all public records.

The following outstanding are brought out: First, of the total number of 206,- 950 motor tourists handled by mo- tor clubs, 175,234 or 85 peér cent came from the populous cengms cast of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio river, and 14,001 or six per cent from the region east of the ississippi and south of the Ohio.
