100000 NEEDED
IN NATIONAL GUARD.
SURVEY REPORTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. S1.-A min
imum peace-time strength of ESQ.,
900 men for the national guard was
recommended in a report OF a
committee of national guard and
general staff officers who have been
studying the problem for more than
a year. The plan outlined by the
committee was based on an eff
cient organization of IS infantry and
4 cavalry divisions, and would mean
a reduction from the present au-
thorized paper strength of the ma
tional guard, which is 435,OOO men.
In addition to the infantry and
cavalry divisions, the guard, under
the plan submitted, would consist OF
100 companies Of harbor defense
troops, twelve infantry regiments to
be allotted, and other units neces-
sary to well-balanced force, such
as tanks, anti-air forces, and artil-
lery units.
The committee recommended that
the strength of the guard be appor-
toned among the states in proper
ton to the numbers of the house
of representatives and that provi-
sion should be made to maintain all
organizations heretofore recognized,
and for the completion of organiza-
tions in process of formation.
War department plans for organi-
cation Of the guard under the mill
tary bureau were approved by the
committee, as Sound in principle"
and proceeding satisfactorily sub
ject to the limitations imposed by
the funds appropriated.
In reporting today, the committee
said the strength of 100000 was the
minimum that could be considered
to make the national guard accom-
plish it's mission in the national de-
Tense, and that it should be built to
the strength indicated as soon as
possible, land certainly not later
than June 80, 1926" The following

be distributed under the plan:

BUDGET DEFICIT IS
CUT To S92,0OO,0O0,
HARDING D|SCLOSES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-The au-
ticipated deficit in the national bud
get for the current fiscal year,
which ends July 1, has been reduced
to $92, 100000 from an earlier esti-
mate of $273,000,000. President Har-
ding announced Monday in a mes
sage to the fourth regular budget
meeting, read by Vice President
Coolidge. Reductions in expenditures
and increased revenues combined to
reduce the deficit, he said.
Congratulating the assembled cab
met officials and bureau CHIEFS for
saving $181 100000, Mr.. Harding
urged continuance of rigid economy
in the hope that the $4,000, 900
would be wiped out and the fiscal
year ended with a balance on the
right side of the ledger.
Estimates for the next fiscal year
ending June 80, 1924-indicate an
excess of, receipts over expenditures
for the first time since this country
entered the World war. Mr.. Har-
ding said the present figures show
the government will have a balance
of $120,000,000 at the end of that
period; this sum being the estimated
excess of receipts over the $3,19S,-
100000 which will be required to run
the country from July 1, 1928, to
June 80, 1924.
The 1924 budget is $196,000, 600
less than the appropriation for the
current fiscal year.
Mr.. Harding expressed the hope
that congress also would enter into
the spirit of economy practiced by
the administrative branches, but he
made it plain that it is not expect
ed or desired that congress should
relinquish it's prerogatives so wisely
given to the peoples representatives

NEW SUPPORT
HEALS RUPTURE
Kansas City Doctors Invention
Makes Truss or Operation
Unnecessary

A new support which, experts
agree, has no equal for curative eff
fects in all rupture cases, is the lat
est accomplishment of DR.. Andrews,
1872 Koch Bldg, Kansas City, Mo. The
extraordinary success of this new ap-
pliance proves that it holds and heals
a rupture. 1t weighs only a few
ounces. Has no hard gouging pads,
no elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel
bands, and is as comfortable as a
light garment. 1t has enabled hun
dreds of persons to throw away
trusses and declare their rupture
absolutely healed. Many of these
had serious double ruptures, from
which they had suffered for years.
1t is DR.. Andrews ambition to have
every ruptured person enjoy the
quick relief, comfort and healing
power OF his device, and he will send
it on free trial to any reader of The
Atlanta Tri-Weekly Journal who
writes him. He wants one person in
each neighborhood to whom he can
refer. If you wish to be rid of rup-
ture for good, without an operation,
take advantage Of the doctors free
offer. Write him today.

War Contract Claim
Settled by Government

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 30.-The
governments claim against the Lin
coin Motor Car company for alleged
over-payments on war contracts, was
slated for final settlement in United
States district court here today. At
torneys for the government and the
receiver for the Lincoln company
had reached an agreement on the
amount to be returned to the gov
eminent and Judge Arthur J. futile
was prepared to make the amount
public, along with his approval.
The claim was one of the largest
filed by the government against con-
Germs that manufactured munitions
during the World war. Over-pay-
ments totaling $9,188,561 were made
to the Lincoln company, it was al
legged. The company was charged
with numerous Irregularities, one
charge being that "the finest auto
mobile factory in the country was
built during the war period at gov
eminent expense"
To this plant, it was charged, the
company added a 100000 office
building and $4,000 dining hall.
The profits of the company were
declared by the government to
have been 700 per cent on the money
actually invested.
The complaint also declared the
company had charged its contract
for the manufacture of Liberty mo-
tors, raising the profit on each mo-
tor from $625, stipulated in the orig
ina1 contract, to $1,276. The gov.
eminent paid $4,000 for each COM
pleted motor, it was said.
Another declaration in the com
plant was that the government paid
amortization amounting to $3,O00,'
900 on the 52-acre plant site and test
ing ground, which was said to be
worth but $1,O00,0O0.
Henry M. Leland, former presi'
dent, and Wilfred c. Leland, former
vice president, it was charged, re-
ceiVed salaries for the year 1913, of
100000 each.
/ The Lincoln company was taken
over at bankruptcy sale by Henry
Ford last year for $8,000,000. The
amount agreed upon by the attor-
neys who effected the settlement is
to be paid by the receiver, from the
proceeds of the sale to the Ford in.

claim for alleged over payments Oh
war contracts, is $1,550,000, accord
ing to William Ritter, assistant at
torney general, who said today, now
ever, that his figure was subject to
the approval of Judge futile, of t1e
federal court at Detroit.
The government originally claimed
$9,1S8, 561. The company's receiver
last December offered to settle, &C
cording to Mr.. Ritter, for $1,300,0OOl
recently increasing the amount to
81 $50, 900. Attorney General Daugh-
erty last Saturday approved settle
ment at this figure, he said.
Settlement at the compromise hg'
ure, it was stated, would benefit up
wards of 800 creditors of the Linco n
company, whose claims are being
held up pending disposition of the
governments claim.
In the event Judge Tuttle should
reject the compromise, the claim, Mr..
Ritter said, will be left to the courts
for adjustment. Judge Tuttle, it is
understood, will pass on the settle
ment proposal today.

a car of calcium arsenate which will
be sold to the farmers at cost. The
money was quickly subscribed and

1t is likely that there will be an

used in Butts county this season. BY
the use of this and other remedies
farmers give it as their opinion that
