Los Angeles, May 22.-"No rich men

ali the commentaries on earth cannot
establish that the Bible means little

easier for a camel to pass through the
eve of a needle than for rich man

Church. at an evangelistic meeting held
here to-day. Dr.. Meyers insisted that
the Scriptural passage meant just what
it said. and that the "eye Of needle

EXPECT LONG DELAY
DR.. Cleveland Charges Direct
Opposition to Systematic
Spending of S60,000,000.

The Mitchell administration received
its first broadside yesterday from the
Bureau Of Municipal Research. In a
letter from DR.. Frederick A. Cleveland,
director of the bureau, to Acting May
or McAreny the Board Of Estimate
was accused Of having spent 100000
in gathering information on which to
base Standardization OF 10000 city en-
ployes' salaries, only TO do nothing
which would make it available for use
in preparing a proper budget for next
year.
city employees are rapidly gaining
the imp cssion that the adoption Of
The standardization programme is one
IN which the Board of Estimate has
lost interest" said DR.. Cleveland.
There is an opinion prevalent that the
opposition in the board will lead to in
definite delay"
For FIVE years, he added, the board
had recognized the Importance Of
stendardizing salaries 1t organized a
committee in 1912 70 collect informa-
tion. and last year the Bureau Of
Standards, o. which George d. Tirrell
is director. as charged with the com
pietion of the work. In November this
bureau reported to the board a general
plan Of classification and urged that
The proposed specifications he consld-
cred class by class. This has not been
done. The board. said Or. Cleveland,
had not even been willing 70 appropri-
ate $4,000 20 have the Tirrell report
printed so that there could be confer
ences and public discussions.
Repeated requests have been made
10 the salaries and grades committee
for authority 10 have the specifications
printed, but without result DR.. Cleve-
land continued. dts failure 70 or
der the printing has already caused
much valuable time to be lost, and
Judging from conferences with mem
bers OF the committee there seems to
be no immediate probability OF the
necessary steps being taken to make
results available These results up to
this time have cost the city approx
mately 100000 and will be useful in
reaching conclusions concerning about
500 900. 900 Of annual expeditures.
Moreover, in discussions IN and out
OF the Board of Estimate the Bureau
Of Standards has encountered great
deal Of direct and indirect opposition
from members OF the board and their
representatives.
The effect Of the Board Of Estimates
lack Of definite policy and frankness on
employees of the Bureau of Standards IS
bound to be demoralizing, he said, and
added:
1T can hardly he expected that work
will be carried on with enthusiasm
under the present conditions of oppo-
sition and uncertainty. This work can
not be pushed with the necessary vigor
if the Board of Estimate does not do
its part in deciding upon the larger
questions of policy as they are cur
rently submitted"

Rv GORDON BRUCE.

Contributions amounting 70 more
than $4,000 have been received IN re-
spouse to an appeal for public support
in the establishment Of an aeronautl-
cal reserve for the United States.
The appeal was printed on Friday, at
the request of the Aero Club OF Amer
lea. in The Tribune and other New
York papers, and was based on the un-
willingness Of Congress 70 provide FOR
proper aerial defence.
Many contributions have been sent
10 The Tribune, and the Aero Club re-
ports almost fifty telephone inquiries.
as well as the receipt Of scores OF
checks.
Accounts Of the importance OF the
aeroplane in the war appear 10 have
aroused the people of this country 20
the danger in which the lack Of air
craft places our forces, and that the
public is awakening to the situation is
evidenced by the comments accompany
ing subscriptions.
The first check received by The Trib-
une was for 500 from Miss Helen
Ware, now appearing at the Empire
Theatre. Miss Ware pleads guilty 10
having harbored an interest in aero
nautics for several years. The avia-
ton periodicals lying on the table III
her library bear witness t. that.
Actress Sends Her Check.
There seemed 10 be something lack
ing in the array Of battleships in the
North River" she said. 81 knew how
the British. French and German fleets
always exhibited their quotas OF air
craft when on review. and wondered
why our government had failed TO give
our navy any aeroplanes. Then, when
YOU printed the Aero Clubs appeal, [

next review | hope to see many OF the
great white war birds flying over oGr
ships. and | am certain that any one
who gives his or her mite to provide
them will thrll with pride at the
sight"
An interesting feature OF the giving
is that 80 per cent Of the subscriptions
have come from women. In letter

From the Homes Comes Endorsement of Public Sub
scrption Plan for Naval Air Reserve
Gifts Already Amount to $4,000

For the benefit of those who are not
familiar with the proposition II should
be explained that the movement Is in
the nature Of step BY the people for
the military and naval air service that
Congress has refused 10 give tho coun-
try. In Germany fund Of more than
1000, 900 marks was raised by popular
subscription. and the campaign carried
on in France netted 100000 francs.

Although the people have been quick
to respond. the amount given on the
first day is only a drop in the bucket.
Gifts of any amount, from % cents 70
$4,000, will be welcomed by the COM
mittee in charge. They may be sent
to the newspapers, and every dollar
will be spent for equipment made in
the United Sta es of America.
The machines purchased will be used
for training liers. and it is believed
that the basis of a strong aerial de-
fence will be established before Con-
gress meets again Then the people
will have good reason TO expect that
the government will carry on the work
that has been begun.
