NO CLOTHES FOR BABY:
MOTHER SCANTILY CLAD
Red Cross Commissioner Found Them
in Their Cave Home

"Close by the side of the road was
a mound of earth with a small open
ing at one side. l knew that some
human being, perhaps a family, called
it home, because that kind of homes
are familiar sights in Poland" said
Robert E. Odds American Red Cross
Commissioner to Europe.
Il stopped and went in through
the narrow opening. Inside was a
woman scantily clothed and seated
in the ashes left from the last fire
was a little child without one bit of
clothing on his body. And the ashes
were barely warm
''The woman stood UP and apollo
gized for their condition-'there are
only enough garments to cover two
of u.s. she said. And my other son
has gone out to gather wood for an
other fire."
1t is needless to add that that fam
lily received a supply of clothing as
soon as Mr.. Olds got to the nearest
Red Cross station but what OF the
others? Unless American women
make 100000 articles of clothine

NEW BUDGET CALLS FOR
$8,OOO,0OO AND Soc TAX
With This Sum There Will be a
Deficit of 81, 100000 at End
of Biennial Period

In statement read in the House
Monday evening by Representative
w. II. Dyer, chairman of the House
committee on ways and means, a bud
get of over $8,0O0,O00 State tax of
at least 30 cents year for the next
two years and a probable deficit over
all of 81 100000 are indicated.
he following statement covers all
regular or depaI tElental appropria-
lions amounting to over $o,5OO,O 900:
with special appropriations all of
which have been included except such
as have been actually rejected by the
two Houses.
For fiscal year ending June 80, 1929
$3,173,300. For fiscal year ending
June 80, 1923, $3,373, 100.
Total $6,546,40O.
Special appropriations and claims
$1,565,169
Grand total, S8,111,569
Taking the original estimate of ex-
pected revenue for the next two years
as made by the budget committee, the
chairman says: personally / think
this estimate is rather low and could
be raised with degree of safety to
$5,5OO,OOO."
The budget committees estimate of
revenue was S5,35O,OOO.
Chairman Dyer does not favor a
large state tax, even though the pro-
posed 80 cents a year would probably
create deficit: He says.
Il would suggest, however, that the
rate be carefully considered as there
is and will be considerable cash on
hand in the treasury that might Just
as well be used even though the treas
urer may be obliged to borrow dur
ing the last part of the BIENNIAL period
We would then be in a very much
better condition than many of our
cities and towns"
81 do not believe we should consider
a tax rate Of over 20 cents for the first
year and 40 cents for the second
year, or possibly 80 cents each year.
1t will be seen that even this will
leave deficit of around 81 100000 as
matters look at this time"
The special appropriations include
the following; Vital statistics $4,000;
hospital, $250,0OO; School for Feeble
Minded 100000; Smugglers Notch

The American Red Cross is calling
upon the women of this country, par
ticularly the hundreds of thousands
who served in it's Chapter and Branch
workrooms during the days of the
World War, to mobilize again in a
nation wide sewing circle for the
greatest production campaign since
before the Armistice.
The purpose of the campaign, the
plans for which were announced this
week, is to provide 2,00o, 900 garments
and 250, 000 layettas for a portion of
the hundreds OF thousands of children
| and babies in countries Of Central

This is the national quota for the
greatest Red Cross production cam
rafgn since the days of the World
War, which has just been announced
to me by Mr. W. Frank Persons, Vice
Chairman of the Central Committee.
The garments and layettes are to

suffice to cover q half million chill
