New York. - Sign painters can have
just as real appreciation of art and
Just as big souls as any artist who
ever achieved masterpiece. There is
one who has a shop on Twenty-ninth
street near Third avenue who proves
this. He is inclined to be fat and he
wears shirt without a collar and he
paints signs for living with all the
energy in the world. But he has the
spirit Of an artist and an altruist.
When business is slow, he spends his
time at the Metropolitan Art Museum,
studying the paintings there, and
copying, as best he can, some that he
loves the most. One day two shabby
dressed girl artists stopped to admire
print in his window Of Paris street
scene. They wanted it. But the price
was more than they could scrape to-

Helen is a girl who represents all

Substitute Crops VIII Onset Shortage
or Hay.

Kentucky Is threatened with hay
shortage due to the serious injury to
the clover crop in late March and
early April, according to soils and
crops specialists. This shortage may
prove serious to the farmer because
the bulky characted of hay increases
transportation charges and makes the
final cost high even though the hay
is selling for a reasonable price. How
ever, 1t is still possible for farmers
to grow hay crops which will offset
this shortage, according to E. ]. Kin
ney, of the soils and crops department
of the college Of Agriculture.
"The Kentucky farmer has an op-
portunity of producing annual hay
crops almost as economically as the
usual hay crops and even at this date
it is possible to plant crops that will
mature sufficiently to make hay of
good quality. Cowpeas If sown within
the next two weeks will make a good
growth and give hay Of excellent quail
ity. Soybeans can still be planted and
will make even better hay than cow
peas. Another well-known emergenc,

FRIENDLY ALIEN VICTIM
IN TANGLE OF RED TAPE.
Chicago Jugoslav Suffers Through
Delay in Agreement Over
Return of Property.

Real victims Of diplomatic red tape
arc some subjects OF friendly portions
OF the former Austro- Hungarian en-

erty custodian. Such is the case with,
Michael S. Yelich. a Jugoslav, who,
though actually a man of means now
finds himself stranded here in a pen
niless condition.
Before the war he was saloon
keeper in Chicago. and had taken out,
his first citizenship papers there, but
he sold out his business and returned
to Jugoslavia in order to settle up
his estate and to bring his family
back with him to America. When
the war broke out in 1914 he found
it impossible to leave Austria. and the
American authorities could do noth-~
ing for him. as he was still techni-

possible after the armistice. he came

volved in a tangle of red tape that .
Is not yet solved.
Though Congress has passed a law
which authorizes the alien property ?
custodian to return seized money to 4,
citizens of what are now friendly
countries, it also provides that such
nations must enter into reciprocity
agreement with the United States for 2
this purpose. Unfortunately. Jugo- =
slavia has not yet concluded such an
agreement-though it is a mere for
mality. as Jugoslavia has no seized
American money to return-and Mr.. 4.

he would see that proper appro-
priations were made to carry into
effect the legislation decided upon.
This would tend to lessen the
conflict between the committee on
appropriations and the commit
tees on general legislation. It
might be desirable still further to
increase tho membership of the
committee on appropriations. Mr..
Willoughby thinks
4 -
It is also highly desirable that
reconsideration should be given to
the question, what constitutes
new legislation. and as such not
falling within tho jurisdiction Of
the enlarged committee on appro-
priations?" Mr.. Willoughby says:
TT seems to me that the rules
slider matters in detail regarding
the number and compensation Of
employees as general legislation"
This situation could also be
much improved by framing up
general legislation in more general
terms-for example, instead Of
specifying the number and COM
pensation Of employees and tho
specific activities to be under
taken by a service. the general
regulation should simply say that
the service should have such en-
ployes at such compensation as
may from time to time be pro-
vided by law, and that 1t may en-
gage in such specific activities. in
order to perform its functions as
laid down in the general legisla-
tion, as may from time to time be
appropriated for by law.
Again. this situation could be
very much helped If a thorough
study could be made Of the pure
ly administrative law now in ex-
istence, its revision so as to meet
modern provisions and conditions.
and its re-enactment as scien-
tifcally worked out administra-
tive code. A number of the
states-notably Illinois and Ne
braska-have recently enacted
such codes. The Philippines also
have IN admirable administrative

This meant that only in excep-
handle all matter of appropriations
relating to department. so you
had a number Of subcommittees
handling a number of phases Of
one departments activities.
A properly prepared budget
would consist Of distinct chapters,
each Of which related exclusively
to a government department in
which the entire expenditures for
the department. properly classified,
would be presented The commit
tee on appropriations could then
create a system OF subcommittee
corresponding to these chapters.
The result would be that while re-
sponsibility for the budget as
whole would be concentrated in
the committee on appropriations
as a whole, more detailed respon-
sibility would be vested in the
subcommittee for the several de-
partments.
W. F. Willoughby, director Of
the Institute for Government Re-
search, who worked with the
special budget committee in franz
ing the budget legislation, has
made the suggestion that it would
be we'll to have the committee
on appropriations made up large
~ ex-offfcio OF tho chatrmen and
ranking members Of the opposi-
ton on the important committees
on general legislation. such as
foreign affairs, military affairs.
naval affairs, agriculture. labor.
etc If this was done the chair
man of the committee on foreign
affairs would naturally be made
the chairman of the subcommittee
having to do with the chapter of
the budget dealing with the State
Department. The same man would
thus have chief responsibility re-
garding matters both Of general
legislation and OF appropriations.
As chairman Of the committee on
general legislation he would at
tend to matters of general legis-
