Extension Of tho city car line
into Ballard was made possible
Thursday. when James A. Dun
can. secretary OF the Labor
council. announced that suffl-<
eient labor would be furnished
free for the completion OF the
work.
The extension OF the limo Is be-
ing held mp by a temporary re-
straining order. Members OF the
city council must appear In the 81.
perior court Friday and show cause
why work on the line should not be
abandoned. because the funds nee
cssary for completing the work
mua, be obtained thru supposedly
illegal appropriations.
James Duncan. in suggesting the
use OF free union labor. said that
this would do away with one phase
OF the expense. and expressed an
opinion that the $4,000 or $4,000
needed TO buy materials could pos
sibly be raised by public donation.
A large amount OF rails and ties
already have been purchased, and

WHALER's GLORY HAS GONE
Industry Which Was Once the Great
est in America Has Been Decl!n-
ing for Fifty Years.

At the outbreak Of the American
Revolution and for period OF 70
years following, whaling was the most
important branch of American fisher
les. From 500 to 700 vessels sought
whales in all the oceans and seas OF
the world, and in one year New Bed
ford alone sent out 300 vessels whose
cargoes of bone and oil were the
basis of the industrial life of the city.
The pursuit of sperm whales reached
its climax in 1887, when oil valued at
nearly S4,5OO,O00 was brought in,
mostly from the south Pacific, says the
National Geographic Magazine. The
height Of the industry was in 1916,
when 10000 persons derived their sup
port from whales, and 72O vessels,
valued at S21,OO0,000, were engaged.
For more than so years the fishery
has been declining, and in numerous
ports that once derived most of their
wealth from the industry there have
for long time existed only memories
of former greatness. The present i'm
portance Of the whale fishery amounts
to less than per cent of the American
fisheries.

The BUDGET System.

: The budget system is not q system or
form Of government, but mode OF pro-
cedure in certain matters. Primarily
q budget is a bag or sack with its con-
tents, which may be anything from gar
den truck or cooked food 30 official
documents. In England, where the
word acquired its political or govern
ment term, it means the annual finan-
cial statement or the facts and figures
which the chancellor of the eXchequer
makes in the house of commons, sitting
Ias q committee of ways and means.
The term has never been much used in
this country, but it is sometimes ap-
piled to the estimate of government
receipts and expenditures submitted
in the annual report Of the secretary
of the treasury as basis for appropri-
lations to be made by the congress-.
Briefly, the budget system or a ma
'tional budget may be defined as the
financial statement of the government
for the next fiscal year, showing in
detail the services and expected
amount Of revenue, and an itemized
estimate of expenditures in the differ
.ent departments of government to be
covered by appropriations not to be
.overrun.

Luminous Paints.

; Luminous paints for varied uses
have been brought into increased de-
mand by the war, and the best results
have been obtained from those con-
sisting essentially Of prepared zinc
sulphide with small percentage OF
radioactive material. To determine
the brightness and life of different
mixtures, elaborate tests have been
made at the British National Physical
Laboratory. 1t is found that increas-
ing the radium adds to the brightness,
but also increases the cost and the rate
of decay, the differences in brightness
and decay becoming much less after
q few months. Keeping cost in mind'
lit is concluded that the most salts
factory paint has one part Of radium
to about 5000 of zinc sulphide.
