Dickerson N. Hoover,* supervising inspector general of the U. S. Steamboat Inspection Service, gravely put his name last week at the end of a long document.

It announced that, thanks to prudent budget pruning, the Treasury might have a surplus of 37 millions this year instead of the 94-million deficit rumored before the election.
