GERS. We can not afford to forget
that the sum of these estimates. stu
pendous as they are, contain no pro
vision for variety of purposes and
enterprises, more or less meritorious,
which are being urged and pressed
upon the attention of Congress.
Must Have Budget.
And having kept all Of these things
in mind. let me appeal to those who
voted for the budget to live up to their
budget record. to prove true to the
principles that they approved in their
vote for the budget A budget svs-
tenn carries no compulsion to vote
the full sum of the estimates but any
budget system worth while is either
persuasive or prohihitorv against the
great increases and appropriations in
excess of, beyond, and outside of the
estimates, and if Congress Is ever to
operate under the restraints of a bud
get system this is the time to begin.
81 shall enter into no controversy
with those who insist that proposal.,
of increased expenditures which they
advocate have merit; they must prove
that they are imperative. I shall not
quarrel with gentlemen who insist
that certain river and harbor improve
ments are wise, useful and of char
acter that will eventually be essential
if we are to care for our growing and
expanding commerce. The conclusive
answer is that unless the matter is
absolutely imperative it can not be
undertaken, because we have not the
funds"

REAL ECONOMY

Congress Lends Every Effort To
Definite Retrenchment

Washington, Jan. 26.-Appeal for
the strictest economy in public ex-
penditure in order to carry the coun-
try through the period of reconstruc
ton is demanded of congress by Rep,
resentative Frank w. Mondell, of Wy
oming. majority leader in the House
He says
"There has been. and is, a very gen
eral and widespread public demand
for the adoption by Congress of a
budget system. Responding to that
demand the house has passed COM
prehensive bill providing for such a
system, and We anticipate the adop-
ton of budget system by congress
at reasonably early date. But we
do not have to wait for the adoption
of budgetsystem to practice the &c
onomies which such system is in
tended to promote. We have now
before us the facts and factors of a
budget. 1t is true it has not been
presented in budgetary form, but it
is here nevertheless 1t is represent
ed by three enormous and rather ap-
palling figures, nine billions of esti-
mated obligations and expenditures.
six billions of estimated income, three
billions of estimated expenditures in
excess on income-three billions of
estimated deficit at the end of the
fiscal year.
Many Vital Problems.
What are we going to do about it :?
Cut the estimates-trim them; lop
them on; reduce them by billion or
a billion an da quarter. Yet; this we
must do; but what profit shall it be
if we do this and then proceed to meet
every demand for new projects and
enterprises; for extensions and en-
largements of federal activities; for
the continuation of unnecessary ac-
tivities now being carried on; for in
crease ii salary. pay. and compensa-
ton to those in the military and civil
establishments of the government.
"Let us not forget that in the nine
billion and more of estimated obliga-
tons and expenditures for the next
fiscal year not a penny was estimated
for increased compensation for the
employees in the civil establishments
of the government above what they
are now receiving. Let us remember
that in the enormous estimate of more
than billion dollars for the military
establishment, more than the total
cost of the government at the out
break of the world war, not a penny
is estimated for increased pay to the
officers and men of the military es-
Enlistment, not penny is estimated
for any kind of general military train

WINTER WARNINGS

Service Department of N. A.
C. C. Offers Hints That
Save Money.

The approach OF freezing weather
brings to mind many things that the
motOriat must remember and take
care Of if nc wishes to avoid trouble
and keep his car going without un-
due expense. says the service depart
mCnt OF the National Automobi lie
Chamber OF Commerce.
The danger of freezing the water in

ing Is scarcely needed that anti

that a hood or radiator cover should
be provided to retain the heat

Some people forget that even the
radintor cover will not keep the water
warm indefinitely. This Will be cf-
fective only 40 long as sufficient heat
- retained to keep the water tempera-
ture above ~ degrees. which will
depend on the exposure OF the car
and the severity of the weather. 1r

ting alcohol and sodium chloride OF
some such solution In tho radiator.
The things which most need watch
ing, however, in the winter are the
eng Ines fabrication and the storage
battery.
Very many people do not realize
that lighter grade of oil is mecca
sary in most engines In the winter

ly that the bearings may be burned
before the Viscous oil gets into Circu-
lation. To be on the safe side one
should put In the lighter oil that the
car manufacturer recommends for

in.
WATCH BATTERIES.

DE SURE TO REPLACE BATTERY.
If it does become necessary to take
the battery out of the car. be sure that
another battery is put in its place or
else that the proper thing is done to
keep the generator from being
burned out. Your instruction book
gives tho proper directions for
grounding or short-clrcuiting the
brushes so that damage will not re.

this will almost certainly be followed
by burning out the windinGs OF the
armnture or feld or even both. The
safest course is never to drive the
car without a battery on the line from
the generator.

The frst ~gun" used In warfare was
undoubtedly the crossbow-arbalest--
Of the type having a reflex composite
bow made Of wood, hnew. horn or
whalebons. and wound up with a
rachel or "crannequin." which slipped
On over the stock and was held In
place BY loop controlled by trans
verse peg in the stock just behind the
lock.
This weapon reached Its highest
development In Germany under Maxi

immense power. There il one In the
Boston museum with a bow Of over
two and onehalf inches wide and near
ly three-fourths Of an inch thick. In
central Europe. France and Spain the
bow was not used much save by the
people who came under Mohammedan
influence. The cross-bow being a much
easier weapon to use. II was forbidden
In England to anyone not having q
certain income, In order that the yeo-
men and common people should be
forced TO use the long bow. which In
military purposes was vastly superior

Records Tell Of Uprising Which EvI-
IDENTIFY Ended UnhsppIly for tho
RsbelIlous Citizens.

A recently deciphered papyrus
shows a pretty revolutionary spirit
among the Egyptians in the year 1000
b. O., or nearly 1000 years before
the French thought Of an upheaval.
The period is between the old and the
middle kingdom, and an Egyptian
sage plaintively invites the king to
save his people In telling him Of the
conditions Of the country. He tells
him that "that Is past which yester-
day could be seen. The land turns
like q potters wheel. The noble cry
out and the poor are full Of JOY. Each
town says. Let us drive the strong

wore clothes are now In rags. Noble
women trail through the land, and
housewives say, Had we only some

sess lordly things and those who
could buy themselves no sandals now

have dethroned the king and perse-
cuted his officials" That the revolu'
tion was q success seems hardly TO

DEMING CONES CLEAN

Two municipal tickets were nomi-
mated at Deming-five men in favor OF
passing an ordinance against gambling,
and five supposed to be opposed to
that program. Deming Is almost 100
per cent democratic in politics and
there was no issue except as to gam
bling. SO the 10 gentlemen, who
wished TO avoid a community row, got
together and made an agreement for
five 10 withdraw from the contest. A
stipulation was entered into that an
ordinance against gambling which was
repealed by the present city council.
would be re-enacted and not repealed
or amended during the next two years
without the consent Of the five men
who withdrew and recommended sup
port OF the other quintet. This was
wise for two reasons: First, ii shows
that Deming desires not to invite evil
to continue; and second, because 1t Is
better for community to have har-
mony instead Of fractional discord
about local affairs. - Albuquerque
