WINNECKE'S COMET
INCREASES BRIGHTNESS

Cambridge, Mass, April 25.-Win-
necke's comet, the periodic which ac-
cording to DR.. Crommelin a British
astronomer, will approach very near
to the earth in June, is increasing
gradually in brightness, but is still
much too faint to be seen with the ma
ked eye. Word to this effect has been
received at the Harvard college con-
servatory from Professor A. 0.
Leuschner, of the students observa-
tory of the University of California
at Berkeley. ."
." The comet will approach nearest to
the sun on June 13 when its distance
from the sun will be nearly the same
as that of teh earth. sIAccording to
the computation of Professor Leusch-
ner, who has made detailed study
of the comets orbit, The exact dis
tance from the sun will be LOTT times
the mean distance of the earth from
the sun, or about $4,000 miles. 1t is
estimated that on May the comet
will be about two and a half times as
bright as when first detected on April
10 but still visible only through fair
ly large telescopes. H.

by Former President

Washington, April 25.-The ma
tional budget bill, with the same pro-
vison which caused it's veto lasv year
by President Wilson, was reported to
the house today by Chairman Good,
of the special budget committee.
The measure, as agreed upon by
the senate and house in the 6Gth con-
gress, was objecsed' TO by the pres
ident because of the secsion providing
that the comptroller general ard mis-
assistant, whose offices would he Gre
ated by the measure, be subjecr to re-
moval by impeachment Or by. concur
rent resolution, after hearing, for
neglect, ineficiency o. malfeasance.
Mr.. Wilson held that the president
who would appoint these officials,
alone could remove them.
In presenting this measure Chair
man Good reported that one change

rector of the bureau Of budget, at

sion of recognized experts acceptable

Finally the note says: "The Ger

of the reparations question not to do

to enable the American government
