Sea of Red Fezzes.
The imperial potentate was due
to reach Union station with his
caravan at $50 o'clock BY that
hour the whole concourse was a sea
of red caps with a few lowIy cit

ror-stricken, from the midst of the
jam. Before 10 O'Clock, when his
train limped down the tracks. the
crowd was so large that even the
most imaginative cop refused to
hazard guess on the number.
Undaunted by a sun that was be-
coming mora blistering hot every mo-

in waving mass until the din of
locomotives outside the train sheds
announced the coming of the Shrine's
most illustrious caravan, after a trek

Greeting by Steuart.
Immediately he was greeted by
Leonard P. Steuart, potentate of
Almas Temple. Escorted by Poten-
tate Steuart and his entire divan. the
imperial potentate was conducted to
the Presidents reception room. A
lane was cut through the crowd for
the Shrine chieftain and every step
or his way was marked by cheers
and yelps of delight from the en-
thusiastic mobiles. In the PRESIDENT s
reception room the Almas Glee Club
chanted welcome to the potentate
and once more the journey through
the throng was resumed to the wait

and their wives entered the big white
touring car that is to be the imperial
potentate's during the convention.

The Navys best airplane pilots,
two of whom will go up against the
premier flyers of Europe in the
Schneider cup races off the Isle of
Wight next fall, will take the air
tomorrow and offer for the visiting
Shriners gathered in Potomac Park
the highest type of naval aeronau-
! teal skill ever displayed here.
The official program of the Shrine
committee lists this exhibition for
Wednesday afternoon, which was
brought about. due to a clerical error.
The entertainment will begin about
1880 o'clock tomorrow and continue
to early afternoon.
Participating in the aerial circus
also will be the L. =. :. Langley.
the Navy's aircraft carrier. which is
the largest boat ever To come up the
Potomac to Washington Although
it was doubtful when orders were
issued for the Langley to proceed
here If her size would permit. the
fact that she now is here alone will
offer something brand-neW to the
visitors. Very little has been seen
of this huge boat, formerly the
collier Jupiter and much less has
been seen of the aircraft carriers OF
other countries.
Daily, as well as tomorrow at the
time of the maneuvers, little combat
planes will speed down the landing
deck. which forms the top of the
boat, and in landing again will fur
nish an unusual spectacle. 1t is
doubtful if Washington itself will be
able to see the Langley in operation
again for a long time to come.
On the day of the maneuvers the
ship will send up combat planes to
protect six huge bombing ships that
have flown up from Mount Vernon to
attack a battleship target moored in
the Potomac off the point. These
planes will be piloted by Lieut. Har-
Lieut.. J. II. Kyle, Lieut.. Commander

GOVERNMENT IS WITHIN INCOME,
 SAYS HARDING
Brings Down Expenditures During Past Year-Saves
 Total of $20O, 100000.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1S.-- The United States Government has achieved the almost impossible dur ing the past year in that it has lived within it's income, declared President Harding in addressing today the heads of departments and bureau di. visions chiefs constituting the na tion's business organization. Not only has it lived within it's income, he said, but it has accumulated surplus of $2OO,O 100000.
 Continued economy was forecast by the President, who said that fur ther reductions would be made dur ing the coming fiscal year. He added that the record established is more important because the fiscal year was inaugurated July 1, 1922, with deficit of $S23, 100000.
 "To this single achievement should be added the fact that, in addition to wiping out the deficiency, economy has resulted in the actual Govern. ment expenditures being cut s256. 900 900 during the year below the or dinary expenditures last year" He warned his listeners they faced an other year when tasks as difficult and problems as acute awaited solu tiOn.
