HOOPER WARNS
 HIS LEGISLATORS

Nashville, July 3-In a special message to the Tennessee legislature this after noon Governor Hooper told the two houses that unless the appropriations in the general bilK passed Saturday were cut down he would veto the bill and other pending appropriations. The extravagant appropriations, he declared, were without precedent in the state and he charged there was a disposition on the part of some legislators to heap them up for political effect,
 According to the governors estimates the appropriations for the next two years exceed by nearly s1,250,000 what the revenues will be. One of the severely condemned provisions of the general ap- piopriations is the $500 expense money for each legislator and total of s65, ,500. A storm is being raised over the state about this.

 Watch me show up them soldiers" the mechanic is quoted as having re- marked. Apparently he had not been abashed by rather notable performances of the officers of the army who are practicing aviation at the field.
 The joy ride started He had barely left the ground when his inexperience brought the machine crashing to earth. He emerged from the cage slightly scratched. It is said his employer has not seen him since.
