COST Of FEEDING
ARMY IS GROWING
Uncle Sam Must Pay IA
Cents More Per Ration
Than Formerly.

The War Department has been COM
PEELED to take official notice Of the in
creased cost Of living.
In the fiscal year beginning June 30.
1908. the army ration cost the Govern
ment 1896 cents per man per day. The
estimate for the current fiscal year was
based on that figure. but when # came
20 making up the estimates for iegis-
lation for the fiscal year which will be-
gin July 1, 1910. the officers were COM
PEELED 10 take coGnizauce of the fact
the cost of food products was going
up.
The estimate Of the cost Of one ra-
ton per man per day was put at 2O.97
at first. but later II was discovered
this was too low. and Il VS. Increased
TO 21.05. This is IA cents more per "a
ton than the old figure. AS the army
consumes about 100000 rations per
year. Il means that Uncle Sam Will have
TO pay about $40 900 more per year to
feed the army than he did on the old
basis.
The effect IS being felt on the army
subsistence fund for the current fiscal
year There will be a deficiency in this
fund for the year Of S243, 900. due en-
tirely to the increased cost Of living

ESTIMATES READY
FOR TRANSMISSION
Commissioners Trim Figures
Down to Twice Amount
of Revenue.

The amount Of the estimates Of the
District Of Columbia FOR the fiscal
year 1911 is approximately $1,000, 600.
Obeying strictly the letter OF the law
which provides that in no fiscal year
shall the estimates exceed twice the
amount OF the revenues Of the Dis
trict, the Commissioners have prac-
tically completed the preparation of
their budget, which will be forwarded
TO the Secretary Of the Treasury next
week for transmission TO Congress.
Commissioner West said today that in
his opinion, the Commissioners have
provided justly and equitably for every
need Of the District, Notwithstanding
they were forced TO economic and have
failed to include in every instance the
amount Of the appropriation asked for
by the heads Of the various departments
of tho District government.
The estimates Of Tie Board Of Educa-
ton were reduced from $47O0. COO 70 a
little over 5000 go. To have included
the full amount would have necessitated
a reduction in the appropriations for
other District needs, which the Com
miSsiCncrs considered inadViSable. In
fixing the amOI9ut of their estimates
within the revenues, the Commissioners
have completed a task which fell form
trict budget totaled S1G.O44. 9QA52, which
included a request for a loan from the
United States Treasury Of $4,000 for
the extension Of the system of water
mains, TO be repaid I'm annual Install
ments Of $4,000 The amount actually
appropriated by Congress was S10,5T3-
MA. and the work OF revision and the
cutting out Of appropriations was done
Oy the members OF the House and Sen
ate District Committees.
Commissioner West said today that
the bill which the Commissioners will
this year forward TO Congress will per-
FrHfs 1. IL
ion, cannot prove otherwise than as ac-
ceptable 70 the lawmakers.
The Commissioners will next Wednes-
day at 1890 a. m. begin the holding Of
weekly session for the consideration Of
current business. which have been de-
layed by the work on the estimates.

MAKING SILK HATS.
4 Workman Explains why His Fore.
finger Nail IL Malformed.

The nail Of his right foreinger was
long, yellow, horny, and the finger tip
had so thickened and hardened that 1t
seemed to be covered with pale leather.
He was a silk hat maker, and 1t was
from curling hat brims that his finger
had changed 50 strangely. Describing
the processes Of q silk hats manufac-
ture, he said:
1.-THE belief that cardboard forms q
silk hats foundation is an error. The
hat Is first built up Of various thick
nesses of linen-layers of linen, soaked
in shellac, that by means Of wooden
molds and hot irons weighing twenty
pounds apiece are welded one on the
other till a perfect shape. brim and all
complete, is obtained.
1.-THE silk is next put on. This silk
costs from $40 to SIS yard. 1t looks
like plush in the piece. The hatmaker
cuts it OF on the bias and molds II
round the stiff linen foundation. The
strips must he very accurately cut, and
great care is used in their ironing and
cementing. so as to give perfect dag
onal joint. Look at your silk hats
seam the next time you wear it. The
joints perfection will, perhaps, amaze
you.
THE brim, up to this point, is nat
Now its curling commences. That is
where my queer forefnger comes in.
The shaping Of hat brim is purely
a matter Of hand and eye and taste.
The brim while being shaped is highly
heated 50 as to give it pliability.
"And Of course working on this hot
material, patting and prodding it. the
horny.
Nevertheless hat curling is pleasant
artistic work. Hat curriers' have repu
tations the same as artists. Their work
is distinctive. An expert can tell it al
Q glance."-New York Press.
