future differently. or persist in that
course which seemed to appeal to
you as most desirable?
In THE Man Who Saw Tom orr ow"
his new Paramount picture, which
comes to the Strand Theatre next
Monday for three days, Thomas Mel
CHAN meets an expert psychologist
who enables him to look into the fu-
ture. BY this means he is shown
what will happen to him in case he
marries either of two girls-Rita,
the daughter of South Sea trad
er, or Helen, an arfstocratic lady
of England.
He lives the two lives, separately,
and we are shown what is to happen
in either case. And at the end he
makes his choice-but which way he
chooses must be discovered by the
fans when they see the picture which
has a surprise finish.
His travels in the dual lives lead
him to England, India, New York,
the South Seas and elsewhere. He
becomes Viceroy of India, and mar
rowly escapes an assa ssin's bullet. A
third love enters his life-a Russian
girl, but fate parts them.

The education of the pharmacist at

Lords Way of Fixing Up the Budget

WTHEN the executice department
heads put in their estimates for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1924,
they called for $20O,OOOOOO more than
the available income. General Lord,
director of the budget bureau, took the
preliminary estimates and went over
each one of them painstakingly, strik-
ing out what appeared to him less
pressing expenditures, till he got all
the departmental estimates down to
point where they added up to a total
not exceeding the three billion two
hundred million limit set by Presi-
dent Harding. Then, not telling the
departments just how he reached his
conclusions, he notified each of them
of the figure which he regarded as
the limit. He told them they must
somehow try to live within that limit,
and he instructed them to revise
their estimates accordingly.
But he did not stop there. First,
he indicated the total only and let
each department make such adjust
ments within that total as it saw fit
In revising its estimates. Second, he
permitted each department to put in

WARNING TO EX-SERVICE MEN
Soldiers Having Business With Vet
Grams Bureau Must Deal With
District Officers.

Ex-service men who have business
with the United States Veterans bu-
reau have been advised to transact
their affairs with the district officers.
Recently former service men have
been going to Washington at the rate
of 100 a week with the expectation
that they could accomplish more there
than they could accomplish through
divisional headquarters.
In some cases the former soldiers
have walked long distances in order
to get to Washington. Recently one
man made the trip from Baltimore to
Washington on crutches.
Washington posts of the American
Legion look out for the veterans who
come with small means, or no means
at all, but these posts are now find
ing their resources insufficient to take
care of all the demands made on
them.
A pathetic feature of the situation
is that the former soldiers from out
side the Washington district learn that
they will have to transact their bust
ness in the district in which they live.
The American Legion, the Ameri-
can Red Cross and various other or
CARNATIONS nave been trying to i'm
press on the men who have business
with the bureau that they must deal
with divisional headquarters, but it
seems that thousands of veterans do
not understand the situation. The
bureau has asked the Legion once
more to take up the subject.

Child Labor, States and the Constitution

suffered from the multiplying of the
federal child labor tax law'-on Nav
10 OF the present year by Supreme
court decisionZ"m be measured by
the fact that only 13 states meet in
all particulars the standards of the
federal law" Since a previous ar
tempt by congress to bring child labor
under federal control had also been
declared unconstitutional, the Su-
preme court Seems to have made the
issue clear" the report says; "either
we give up the plan of a federal min
imum and rely solely upon the states.
or we undertake to secure a federal
amendment definitely giving to con-
gress the power to pass a child-labor
law"
Some states have advanced beyond
the general standard, while others
have Jagged behind. A constitutional
amendment which would secure TO
the children "all the advantages of
our federal form of government by
giving to congress the right to estab-
lish federal minimum and leaving
to the states the right to raise and
not lower standards" is recommended.
