PARE DOWN ON
ITS 1918 BUDGET

ter Million From First

With expenditures estimated at
more than a million dollars for the
various city departments for 1918, and
the revenues for the coming year

problem to meet the needs of the
city.
1t was intimated in city official

ed on a number of estimates but 1t
could not be learned which of the
the department budgets have not been
gone over it was reported that with
rigid cutting in some instances there
was still an estimated expenditure OF
about $125.C0 over the funds which
will be available.
In the rigid pairing which has been
started 1t was said that the time pro-
viding for widening and paving North
streets, may be omitted in the budget.
but it was said that if this is done
the necessary funds may be PROVIDED
in some other manner during the
coming year so that the Improvement
will not be delayed.
The estimate of the fire depart
ment has been handed in Commission
er Gross said to-day. This will be
gone over at the executive session to
be held this evening. One of the
changes which is advocated and for
which provision has been made In
the fire department budget according
to Mr.. Gross. is t. have the depart
ment purchase, by contract. all coal
and gasoline to be used by the various
companies next year.
1t was said in Councilmanic cir
cles to-day that in some instances
salary increases had been reduced but
none of the commissioners would

creases in any of the items in the
budget.

BY REV. DR.. ROBERT BAGNELL
(Pastor of Grace Methodist church,
Wherever the gospel of the Red
Cross shall be preached and the story
of Mary Russell told, her name shall
be mentioned in praise. In camp and
trench and hospital her name shall be
blessed.
W care sure that very many boys
and girls are following Mary's exam
pie; and thousands of grown-up peo-
pie have been inspired by her act,
so that her influence has reached far
beyond the single membership in the
Red Cross.
He who helps promptly helps more
than thrice.
The prompt doing of a fine thing
brings a warm glow to the heart
and puts a fine edge on the thing it
self. How often men lose the real
joy of a good deed by waiting until
driven into it. Not so Mary Russell.
She did not need the rising tide of
public sentiment to carry her over
the bar. She saw. her privilege ana
promptly responded. The liberality
of her gift is seen when it is remem-
bered that it amounted to a large
percentage of her weeks pay. With
Christmas so near she doubtless hau
many uses for the dollar. Did she
not put it TO the best use? Side by
side with her, untold thousands at
this Christmastime will put Christ
mas money into the ministries of the
great war.
Blessed is that one who giveth to
the least of these"
There was a happiness about
Marys giving that is contagious.
How joyous she looks in the merry
snapshot of her. In one place, a poor
home where We called, they said,
why, yes, we were waiting for you
The boy at the front had sent home
word that he wanted every member
of the family to join the Red Cross.
And they did it as Mary Russell did
ii. There will be a deeper JOY in every
home in Harrisburg where the spirit
of Mary Russell prevails.

What is Austria ?

But for the grace Of the genius of
language England might have had an
d" Austria in Essex or East Anglia
Edward Freeman, the historian. used TO
puzzle his readers by posing the ques-
ton, What is Austria His way to-
wards a solution was by defining what
Austria was not. As the bulwark of the
German realm on the Danube that part
Of the country was named the Eastern
mark-Oesterreich, or Ostrich, Latin
ised into the name we know. It was a
sort of technical term ancientlv EN-
ployed whenever it was necessary to
distinguish the western half OF any land
from the eastern half. SO the eastern
part of Lombardy became Austria Il
The eastern part of the Frankish do
minions was Austria OF Austrasia. The
rest Of the land was "Neustria not
Austria. But the old time geographical
term has stuck III one country only.
