STATE EXPENSE
LOOMING LARGE
Appropriation Students Find
ing That the Demands Are
Running Very High Now

Bills for increases of salaries of
government are appearing in the
Legislature in such number and so
many demands are now being put
into the form of legislation for early
presentation that the House appro-
priations committee will probably
put up "a stop order" until con-
ference can be had with Governor
William c. Sproul about the matter.
The appropriations committee is
making up the list of appropriation
bills and the amount asked for sal
ary increases, without counting any
advances for teachers or the $1,000
600 that will be required for the
teachers pension fund is growing toe
fast for comfort.
The State revenue is estimated al
from $s4,000.0O0 to sSS.000,000,
From this must be taken the high
way bills amounting to over 3,OOO,-
900; teachers retirement S2,OOO,OOO;
INDECENT insane $4,700,000; to say
nothing of items for the interest
and sinking fund on the road bond
issue. Capitol park improveme ent
bridges, mothers pension, state wei
fare and Defense commission and
over a InllllOA anu a holA VI NS''N
that must be cared for to say moth
ing of the needs for enlargement
of insane hospitals and similar in
stitutions. 1t is improbable that any
deficits in hospitals not controlled
by the State will be allowed.
Legislators spent today here go
ing over various bills relative to
appropriations and consulting with
heads of departments. The Forestry
department is after a substantial in
crease to make it a paying proposi-
ton in the future; the water survey
is after s25o.000; Health, Agriculture
and Education being also seeking
more money, while there must be
provision for the new National
Guard. What was discovered in the
way of estimates gave chills to many
of the people at the Capitol seeking
increases of salaries.

Il heard Mrs. Ellen O'Grady, the

she was Mortified at the lack of
modesty in young women, and that
she could not account for it. 1 said It
was because of the kind of gowns

Priscilla Club Tea Given By Mrs. Jones
By Riddle Bye

In these days of high cost of dress and suit fabrics every woman naturally wants to be sure she is getting 'all wooF' wool and not -'shoddy."
 During the war most so-called wool en materials contained a certain per centage of cotton, and every woman knows how unsatisfactorily garments made of 'shoddy" wear.
 Now merchants assure US when we go to buy that worsted materials 4are all wool and yard wide" But with the continued profiteering we are still being subjected to a good method of protection is to take a sample home and test the fiber ourselves.
 The following are simple tests for Identification of various fabrics. It should be remembered that wool and silk are animal fibers, while cotton and linen are vegetable fibers.
