Dinner Stories

The unsophisticated young minister
essayed to break the embarrassing
silence that had fallen between his
fair and extremely sophisticated young
partner and himself.
"Er-have you ever noted" he be-
gan, how opposed to modern ideas of
politeness is the wording of the tenth
commandment? mean the part
which says, And thy man servants and
thy maid servants, and the stranger
within thy gates The guest, you
notice, comes after the maid servant"
The fair one was slightly bored. Her
answer came in perfectly modulated
voice. mo, had not noticed it until
you spoke. but it is as true today as
it was then. He usually is after the
maid servant
An even longer and more embar-
RAISING silence followed.
To the back door of the house Of a
lonely spinister there came a seedy-
looking person who, after being given
some food, made so bold as to prefer
this additional request: will you
please ask your husband if he amt got
an old pair of trousers to give me?"
Whereupon the spinster, anxious
not to expose her solitude, replied:
Il am sorry, but he-er-never wears
such things.

President Harding Checks Expenditures

Department heads and bureau chiefs, who
fondly believed they could exceed the regular
appropriations and have their deficits covered by
deficiency appropriations were rudely Jolted by
President Harding in the campaign which he
launched against what he rightly termed a
dangerous tendency
More than $2160OO,OOO in deficiency appro-
-priations are now pending before congress, and
if they are not curbed at once the chances are
that the sum will exceed this figure by many
thousands of dollars.
The president said he was sure that basis
of economy could not be established until depart
ments are operated within the appropriations
made by congress-
It has become habit with bureau chiefs to
spend the original appropriations and then to
depend upon deficiency appropriation to cover
the expenditures that remain unpaid. It is
one of the means whereby they are able to
obtain money to carry out projects which are
not included in the original presentation of ex-
penditures to the congressional committee.
The text of President Harding's letter fol-
lows
II am in receipt of letter from Chairman
Warren of the senate committee on appropra-
tons, calling my attention to the fact that esti-
mates now before congress call for approximately
$216,0OO,0OO of deficiency appropriations and
that the estimated deficiencies will run very
much beyond that sum. I do not know of any
more dangerous tendency in the administration
of governmental departments, and am very sure
that we can never fix ourselves firmly on a basis
of economy until the departments conducted
within the provisions made by congress.
81 wish you would call this matter to the
:attention of the various bureau chiefs so that
like situation may not be reported in future"
The communication will not only serve it's pur-
pose in correcting abuse, but will also help
convince the American people, who pay for these
bills that the president is sincere in his effort
to reduce expenditures, so that a reduction in
taxes may follow.
President Hardngs letter has informed the
bureau chiefs that he will not tolerate unnec-
:essary expenditure of the peoples money. Con-
.gress will take the hint and ruthlessy slash the
requests for more financial assistance.

Good Evening
A LITTLE SLICE O. LIFE.
BY Roy x. Moulton


There was intense excitement
On Main street yesterday afternoon.
A large crowd gathered
And moved down the street and
Was constantly augmented by
People from the side streets.
Men fought for places
Where they might see what
Was going on, and it looked
For a while as though the
Reserves would have to interfere.
At one corner a man
Climbed up into a building
Where he could see what
Was going on, and when he came
Down he announced that the
Excitement was caused by a woman
Who was wearing a long skirt
Right out in the street and
1t reached nearly to the ground.
1t was the strangest sight
That had been seen in this city
In quite some years.
The will Of the late Mr.. Oyster,
he seventy-two-year-old bridegroom,
caves only $4,000 to the wife, but
Usually when there's a will there's a
break it.

will be a race between the comet and

warned to take this prediction as au-
hentio and scientific and to put up

enter will please send applications to
