Lewry. slstant military attache at London and on the British front In Flanders, and wag with the American Army of Oc cupation In Germany. For his valu able work be was awarded the Brit ish Military Cross. Recently he wrote “Washington Close-Ups,” a series of character sketches of eminent figures In the national capital, which the country is reading with vast enjoyment. For two years Mr. Lowry has been disking a close study of -the business of the government. He is given credit In congress for his aid In passing the budget bill and to bringing about the naming o f the joint committee of the house and senate to Investigate and report upon the administration and or ganization of the government executive departments. He now wants the peo- ¡ pie of the United States to know the ! details o f the United States govern- | ment, which Is their business. He be lieves the knowledge of these details will make o f them better Americans and give them a better government. No man not imbued with Mr.*Low ry’s high ideal could have carried out this study of the government business so exhaustively and painstakingly as has he. Probably be now knows more about It than any other man In the world. With extraordinary persever- ance and dogged persistence he went after bidden facts and multifarious de- , tails—and got them. Nothing was too big tor his comprehension or too small for his attention. _ At one time he went to a member of the cabinet with the statement that the government had on Its payrolls, exclusive o f the officers and men o f the army and navy, one employee for each 68 people of the United States ten years of age and over engaged to gainful occupations. It took that cabinet officer, with the assistants be had at his command, a considerable time, and considerable ef fort to verify Mr. Lowry’s statement, but he found it to be true. >Ae*the-T6sult of -his careful studies Mr. Lowry has written a series of ar ticles on the business o f government income and expense ; where the money comes from, and how and for what it Is spent; whether the organization of l ^ T i m e the business side of government is effi cient or inefficient ; whether the gov- '*rmp«r>t wastes the money fdva.it- s Ï ervice Is Our Slogan afety Is Our Watchword We deeply appreciate the liber al patronage given us during the past year.
