 TO BE SLASHED

Budgets of city departments will be hewed to the line and no extra appropriations will be allowed, Mayor Fred Atwater declared today. The mayor said that as much as could possibly be cut from department ap- propriations was done last year ana that the departments of the city had now reached their maximum operat- ing expenses.
 "I believe that most of the depart ments are down to their exact oper- ating expenses" the mayor declared and not much more can be taken from them. However. I have issued orders to hew to the line and I have instructed Auditor Heating to check off an unnecessary appropriations This has to be done if the administra- tion inter ds to give the taxpayers q 25 mill tax rate for the ensuing year
 "I have also instructed Auditor Heating to prepare a percentage dis tribution of the city's money over the various departments so that I may have a check. MT. Seeley, former Board of Apportionment president, prepared me a percentage distributi on able and I will check with it''

WORLD WAR ON OPIUM
 EVIL IS URGED
Los Angeles Woman Writes to President Harding to Enlist His Aid.
By WILLIAM c. CAYCE, News Service Staff Cor
 respondent.

respondent. Los Angeles, Dec. S.-InitiaI steps toward an international war on the illicit drug industry, particularly opium, have been taken by Mrs. An geIa c. Kaufman. known locally as the angel of the county jail," who has sent a letter to President Hard for an international agreement for the control of drug distribution.
 Mrs. Kaufman took this step as a result of the efforts now being made by President Huff Thin Chang of China to stamp out the opium evil in bis native country. To this end the Chinese President is said to have appointed a large committee. includ- ing military and evil authorities and q member of the Internat1o Anti Opium Society. This committee has tional missionary and anti-viCe so- CietieS in China.
 Wants World Pact.
 In her letter to President Harding, mend to Congress that an interna- tional aCre ement be entered into be tween the United States, England, Japan and China for the control of the distribution of all habit-fOrmiuS drugs. She also asks that commis- sion be appointed to investigate the drug traffic in the United States at he present time.
 
 alone Mrs. Kaufman said. in dis cuSsi1g the letter. ''The nations of the world must join hands to stamp out this evil. It is not a question of IrreStinE 'dCpeS' and inCarCerating them in prison, or catching the little peddlers. We must get the big inn porters. But beyond this we must have m international agreement. The fight will go ahead in the United States, but we will work to bring all of the nations of the world into har- n,ony in an honest endeavor to stamp out the menace at it's sOurce.''
 Hospital Urged.
 Mrs. Kaufman is conversant with the drug in all it's forms During her social work in Los Angeles she has come in close contact with drug addicts and has first-hand infOrma- ton of the effect of opium, morphine. cocaine and other drugs. During year spent in the Orient Mrs. Kauf- man devoted a large portion of her time to the investigation and gath ering of data on the opium industry in China
 As a prelimiCarN step in California Mrs. Kaufman urges such measures a.1 the construction of a State hospi- tai on San Clemente Island. about 6J miles from Los Angeles for the cur ing of drug addicts an: the curbing as much as possible of the smuggling of narcotics.

TO BE ENLARGED JULY |
Increased Appropriations Provided
for Bureau Will Enable It to
Give Greater Assistance.

With the probability that the for

beginning July l, the start OF the new
fiscal year. officials of the bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce are
now engaged in working out plans
for amplification of the district and
foreign countries.
The bureau, beginning July I, will
have the largest appropriation avail
able in several years, and intends to
enlarge the trade promotion service
of the United States to a point where
1t Will be of the utmost benefit to
American importers and exporters.
Beginning July 1. the bureau will
have for the fiscal year 1923 approx
mately $1,000, 900 with which to work
Its program of expansion, which is
now being worked out. is based on
the increased appropriation. The
amount is about S350,000 more than
the appropriation for the currenQ
fiscal year.
While new Offices of the bureau are
being established in this county and
abroad, the home Office of the bureau
in Washington will have to be en-
larged to take care of the Increased
work. About seventy-five new en-

CALLS DAYLlGHT-SAVlNG
REGULATION "ABSURD"
Correspondent Declares There Is No
Necessity for Change of Hours
in Washington.

" To the Editor of The Star
The annual agitation for the enact
ment of a daylight-savinS law is be-
ginning again. 1t is to be hoped that
we may be spared such an absurd
regulation. Washington, of all cities
in the world, is least in need OF law
of this kind. The government offices,
which constitute the main activities
OF the city, are open only during the
daylight hours. and it would be i'm
possible to save any appreciate
amount of gas or electricity by chang
ing the hour of beginning work. The
other industries are not numerous
enough to justify the discomfort that
would be inflicted upon the great
mass of the citizens.
Those persons who urge the change
of hours do not seem to realize that
if an institution or factory which
opens its doors, say, at O'Clock be-
gins work an hour earlier the en-
ployes are compelled to rise that
much sooner in order to get to work
on time. This makes it necessary to
prepare the morning meal by artl-
fetal light, and the cost of the gas or
electricity consumed during this oper-
alton is much greater than any saw
ing that can be effected by the shift
of hours.
A man who has been accustomed to
rising or retiring at certain hour
will find that the habits of a life
time are not easily discarded. The
change of hours imposes a real hard
ship and is likely to impair his eff
ficiency. In six months, just about
the time he has become accustomed
to the new way, the clocks are
changed again, and he must adapt
himself to another shift of hours.
This means continual irritation dur
ing the entire year and may even re-
suit in an actual shortening of life
in some cases.
If it is necessary for certain in
dustries to begin at an earlier hour.
let them do so. The daylight is all
there, waiting to be used. and they
can help themselves without diScom-
nroding the rest of the people.
In any case, keep the clocks at the
same old figure. The man who has
to fool himself into rising early by
setting the clock ahead will hardly
prove a very profitable investment
for his employer. If he wants to go
to work at 6 o'clock. let him do so,
but it is not necessary to derange
the schedule of the whole city in or
der to help him get up in the morn

fire in her eye.
We'll. yes." softly replied Eunice
in a velvet kind o'voice. The Lord
knows nobody felt fiercer'n me when
l got my 'papes' yesterday, but after
goin' home and figurin' it all over, l
blame" and homes to goodness. Es-
telle, when | counted up the days I'd
laid off. all the slip-shod work I'd
got away with. and the hundreds of
moth excuses I'd pulled on the
boss, what puzzled me most was not
why l was let go. but how I'd man
aged to stick around as long as l did.
