IS expected to live within it's budget, according to a statement by D. E. McLendon, president of the eommis- sion, Monday.
 Commissioner Cloe said several days ago that it was impossible for him to operate his department "on even the present small scale" without more money. He declared that he would make a plea for more funds at an early meeting of the commits sion.
 President McLendon wrote letter to each 6f the commissioners after the adoption of the. new budget a little over month ago in which he gave warning that each depart ment would have to live within it's burget. The report of the comp troller for the first month of the new year, however. showed three departments over. Commissioner Cloe's department showed the largest excess.
 T expected Commissioner Dickson to exceed his budget some for the first month," said President McLen- don Monday. Ills department suf- fered the greatest reduction under the new budget, and it will require
 
 justments. also expected Mrs. Echols' department to go over some for the first and second months be- cause of repairs in the laboratory, and also because of readjustments to meet decreased appropriation. I ex- peeted slight excesses inc those two departments. and knew that adjust ments could be made later.
 "I did not. however, expect Com missioner Cloe to go over his bud get. He suffered no cut under the new budget. and l expect him to live within his income.
 There will be no repetition of last years situation. Each department knows what 1t has to operate on. and each department has got to live within its appropriation. Excesses may be tolerated for the first month or two, but not after that time."

SINCLAIR LEWIS CAN

ii. 6. Wells and Hergesheimer
Are Put Among the Liter
airy Bolsheviki.

Sinclair Lewis, author OF Main Street
and "Babbitt." spoke at the Academy Of
Music in Brooklyn last night on Litter
airy Bolsheviki." and declared that not
only is there revolution in literature but
in every other form Of human activity.
The big business magnate. Mr.. Lewis
said, is the most radical revolutionist of
all. and as proof of this he cited their
constant Improvement of machinery.
"System is far more revolutionary
periodical than the Liberdtor," said Mr..
Lewis
The Introduction of women into highly
paid positions has also helped the revo-
luton. Mr.. Lewis believes. He predicted
that before long women will occasionally
be making 100000 a yea instead OF the
$50. 600 that a few Of them make now

for that most glorious of Gods Great
ures, man. to get away with the-shall

$4,000 year all about real estate values
and the law and such things.
while denouncing the revolution in
kitchen. IL is our revolution against
our lax selves. IT brings strangely diff
ferent types together. Take. in fiction.
Joseph Hergesheimer and II. G. Wells.
Hergesheimer is the sober. conscientious
artist. careful about form. and yet he
is true revolutionary. II. c.. Wells. on
the other hand. is gay and brilliant. and
is not much interested in the moonshine
OF young lovers. He is almost entirely
absorbed in economic questions. and he
too is a revolutionary. In poetry you
have Amy Lowell the aristocratic artist
of the Back Bay. and Carl Sandburg. a
thorough democrat OF the Kansas corn
fields.
''In the same revolution are the little
East Side girl, the radical of the Rand
School. the young woman worker in the
Y. w. G. A and the society flapper.
They hate one another. but they are all
equally revolutionists against everything
their mothers stood for.
