"The Business Corporation was a device of the Roman*.
Tlie original idea came from Julius Caesar, and was suggested
by the uncertainly cf Hutuaji Life. It was an Insurance
against the dissolution of a pmjett in «-ase of death. The in
tent was to provide for the continuance and perpetuity of en
terprises which probably no man could carry out during his
lifetime. The first application of the corporation was for hull
ding Water Systermt ai d laying out Roadways. Hence. His- i
• ji» rives the first corporation us being a PUBLIC SE1UICE
CORPORATION.*’
Since the days of the great Caesar the Corporation prin
cipal has been successfully applied to most all brunches of
r Commerce and Indus try.but the Public Service Corporation
continues to rank first. The securities of Public Service Cor
poations are considered the most profitable investment that
can be made with ABSOLUTE SAFETY. Experienced Finan
ciers, those having practical knowledge of Investments, rate
the securities of Public Service Corporations as being the most
profitable of all SAFE INVESTMENTS.
We would like to tell you about a Public Service Corpora
t'on here at home. One Mtoee future Is unusually bright and
whose scourLies offer an exceptionally attractive Investment.
Its Safe, too! ABSOLUTELY SAFE! lx>t us tell you about it.

SECRETARY T(l INCREASE
EFFICiENGV OF THE NAVY
Uy Jonathan Winfield.
Washington. Nov. 7.—Secretary oi
the Navy Meyer, has been inspecting
tin* Western and Southern navy vurda
and the naval station at Ouuntananio,
I'ubu. with a view to studying the
workings of his reorganization plan
and learning what measures, if any.
muy be neessarjr to perfect his scheme
for securing the greatest efficiency of
the huge navy mac.nne. together with
tlie greatest possible economy in ef
fectlvo operation.
S« cret ary Meyer's business training
lias given him special q uni Heat ions
for putting the afTairs of the navy in
| order, but he has realized at the same
i time it is said that the navy is by no
I means a busines concern. It exists
| for military efficiency, and the whole
.plan of the so-enlled “.Meyer reorgani
sation" keeps this end r eadily in
View.
Tlie cardinal points of Secretary
Meyer's plan are these:
First, The appointment of four res
ponsible advisors, who are to keep tIn
Secretary fully informed upon the op
erations of the fleet, material, person
nel and inscription; each or the aids
making a specialty oi one division.
Second. The grouping of the bu
reaus into two divisions, those of per
sonnel and material.
Third, The establishment of a per
manent inspection system, reporting
direct to the Secretary.
Fourth. 'Pile creation of a uniform
system of cost- accounting, separated
entirely from the manufacturing and
repair department.
Mftli, The division of navy yard
work into two distinct da; sen; hull
land machinery.
Take, tor example, the building of a
ship under this system. First the div
ision of operations, which includes the
general board, originates the military
features, the primary object for which
the vessel is to exist. These are then
referred to the technical bureaus for
sketches, plans, etc. The subject
then goes before the general board,
which, in turn, summons officers who
are experts in engineering, ordinance
and other branches, to give their ad
vice. Finally, after the plans have
been approved by the Secretary, tlicv
are handed over to the Ihireati of ('on
slruction and rcjsiir, which is to car
ry out the actual building. In this
way tiie officers who will have to naii
gate and fight the ships are given as
nearly as possible the sort of a vessel
which their experience has taught
them will he most effective In war.
a valuable fighting unit. It is made
impossible for a ship to lie built and
then handed over to the lighting arm,
with the air of "Here’s your new ship..
Take it or leave it, but It’s all you'll1
get.”
The building and fifing of tic ship.,
will come under the division of mat
erial, working through the bureaus of
const rue tion end repair, ordinance,
steam engineering and supplies and
accounts. In the old organization
there was no single adviser n whom
he Secretary might go for advice on
mutters oi material. He hud to call
on the chiefs of the various bu tv All a
who might have wide ft-tices of
i pinion. Now the aijd for operations
concentrates the whole business in
one man, and lie can do the consulting
and harmonising between the bureaus,
bringing forth a definite and noncon
tradictory course of action.
The division of Inspection wliu in
spect all parts of the service, on land
and sea. at stated intervals, reporting
direct to the Secretary, subdivision of
three members is to Inspect the navy
yards ntuT stations. These oUlcers
have no administrative dutic . and are
tints in no way responsible for the
conditions they are to comment upon.
The division of operations deni with
the movements of ships in commis
sion and of the strategic employment
of all naval forces. It also includes
advisory duties in matters ot naval
policy, building programs and military
fi atures of ship design. The division
of personnel include the bureaus of
i ivigatlon and medicine and surgerv,
the judge advocate genera! and the
examining and retiring boards.
i lie new cost-keeping aystcn is one
cf the features of the reorganization
1 hat will tend to promote > nmoniy,
since by it the secretary of the navy
\*ill now be able to arrive :>t n correct
estimate of expenses. Hiilurto, cost
kepping lias been done by the orking
departments themselves. a practice
,directly at variance with modern corn
mereial methods. With tin- transfer
of this work to an independent depart
men! it will lie possible for malinger
ami inspectors to follow the cost of
v ork from day to day, Hium determin
ing how closely estimates . re being
realized; discovering w lie re' overin ad
charges are excessive and where they
n uy be cut; informing themselves ns
to the comparative efficiency of dif
ferent shops and machines; estlmat
ing time and cost to llnish partially
completed job- and guarding Against
lbe possibility of extending the allot
nients of funds for jobs or for periods
of time.
The working out of thin rdnn. which
lias the sanction of congress for a
years trial, is found to be most sue
c« ssful. One of its cheif merits is the
it is elastic, and whore il i- found
necessary to introduce modifications
‘bis can be done without i:i an way
impairing the efficiency of the scJiciiic.
If is a plan based on common sense
a naval officer asserted today, a plan
»o get tin greatest value for outlay,
both in time and money on the corn-1
iu^reJi})-kidc; and to raise the navy
y» highest degree of mili ary < i
The personnel of tie- navy,
ile added, is co-operating heartily with)
'In m-rfr»rtary to aid In tf> success
fnl ‘deration of the plan and ‘here i,
f»d routioti to doubt that fin- nucccs:
already attained will be continued
