CHILDREN OF CITY
TREATED BY ELkS

Winslow boys and girls, about $50
of them, were the guests of the bene-
VIOLENT and protective order of Elks
No. 536 at the Christmas Day matinee
given especially for them and in their
exclusive honor.
The Christmas Day matinee, which
is an annual custom with the Elks,
was a real treat for the future citi-
exuberant spirit of youth was, above
everything else, the predominant
characteristic throughout the after
noon. To say that the youngsters en-
joyed the treat is putting it mildly.
They were having one of the heydays
of their lives and they knew it and
looked it. Youth was having its
day, a wonderful day.
No matter how long the manage
ment of the Opera House might have
searched, it is doubtful that better
pictures than the ones selected could
have been found for the occasion.
Both "The Girl of the Golden West
and "Barnyard" pleased the young
sters as much as any pictures that
have ever been shown here In fact
the opinion was repeatedly express
sed that "Barnyard" was one of the
best comedies ever booked at the
Opera House. This picture kept the
young people in an uproar all the
time with it's humor and fun "The
Girl of the Golden West" was an in
tensely absorbing drama, which grip
ped the boys and girls with its thrills.
Long before the matinee youngsters
began to gather at the Opera House
waiting for the doors to open. AS
the time for the big event neared the
crowd grew larger, larger and still
larger When the doors were thrown
open and as each youngster passed
into the theater for the three hours
of merriement, he was given a sack
of candy and nuts and a big orange
to eat while he was enjoying the
show. The Opera House was filed
and still they crowded in. Forum
ately there was room for every one.
More than 500 pounds of candy and
nuts were consumed at the big party.
The annual custom of treating the
boys and girls of Winslow, although
necessitating a great deal of trouble
and not a little expense, is indeed a
practice. Any one who
saw the youngsters enjoying them
selves could not help seeing that the
boys and girls got more fun out of
it than the cost of all the trouble
and the expense.
F. D. Howe and Joe Roth composed
the Elks committee to make arrange
ments for the matinee.

mented to six pieces for the occasion
and the Pastime and the Community
halls will be beautifully decorated
with the Elks colors for the big event
The dance program includes twenty
numbers. Owing to the fact that
most of the members and their wives
are particularly fond of waltZes, there
will be more waltzing numbers than
other dances.
The grand march, which will be led
by exalted ruler R. B. Eastman and
Mrs. Eastman, will start at 8:45 p. m.

HARDING NEARING MIAMI AFTER SLOW VOYAGE ON CANAL
President and Wife Grow Restless as Houseboat Battles With Sand
 Bars

MIAMI, March 13-Another days battle between the houseboat Pioneer and the Florida east coast canal sandbars brought President and Mrs. Harding and their vacation compan- ions within about half a days sail ing of Miami, the southern terminus of their cruise.
 the Pioneer will slip into Byscane bay and anchor off Miami beach some time tomorrow afternoon. The past two days, however, have shown that travel through the lower stretches of the east coast canal was uncertain for vessel as large as the Pioneer.
 Both the President and Mrs. Hard ing, it is known, are anxious to reach Miami tomorrow. The last two days of the cruise have been a bit monotonous, especially for Mrs. Harding, who is desirious of getting a little shore rest
 The President has the same feel ing and also hopes to arrive here tomorrow in time for a round of golf.
 Extensive preparations have been made here for the presidential party. Harvey s. Firestone, the tire manu- facturer of Akron, O., and a personal friend of the President, is said to have leased the James H. Snowdon home on the bay front with a view to entertaining the party there.
 O O O
 Lenders Gathering.
 several political leaders. including Joseph H. Heating and David Null Vane. republican national committee members from Indiana and Kansas respectively, also are awaiting the President here, as is Attorney Gen. eral Daugherty, who accompanied the party as far as Ormond and since has been here recuperating from his recent illness.
 Another political lader. although of different faith, who is expected in day or so, is William Jennings Bryan. He and the President are close friends. Still another demo- cratic leader here is James NJ. Cox, who ran against MT. Harding two years ago. So far as can be ascer- tained, however the President and former Governor Cox will not meet during the formers stay here.
 Fair progress was made by the Pioneer. early today while the tide was advantageous, but during the remainder of the day rather poor sailing was accomplished. The Presi- dent went ashore near Fort Lauder dale and motored to Hollywood for a round of golf, after which he was entertained at luncheon at the hot el near the golf house. It was after o'clock when he returned to inc house boat.

ByRNES DECLARES FIGURES JUGGLED
 T0 SECURE RESULT
Reduction of s233,802, 504 Claimed by Chairman
 Madden of the House Committee

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Claims of material reductions in appropria tions for the fiscal year 1924 under those of 1923 were made today in statements inserted in the Congress sional Record by Chairmen Madden and Warren of the House and Senate appropriations committees. At the same time, Representative Byrnes of Tennessee. ranking democrat on the House committee, asserted that when the deficiencies for the next year ~re totaled the outlay would amount to more than that of 1923.
 Chairman Madden placed the total appropraitions for 1924 at s3,7o6,777,- i63, as compared with $3,940, 579,667 for the previous year.
 This. he said, represented a reduc- tion of s233s02,504.
 "Included in the 1928 figures, how ever" he said, was the sum of S125, 2 900, 900 of discount accruals of war savings securities which matured in January, 1923, and which was not re- peated in the 1924 appropriation. De- ducting this sum, the reduction for 1924 under 1923 is s1ss,So2,504." The 1923 figures, MT. Madden explained included sums appropriated at the present session to make up defi- ciencies of last year.
 Figures Coincide.
 The figures of Chairman Warren coincided with those of MT. Madden but Mir. Burnes contended that their . m ethod of arriving at true estimate of the governments expenditures was . based on an unsound premise. . "The total appropriations" he said "including regular annual appropria- tions, increased compensation, perma- .nent and indefinite, for 1924, amounts to s3,706,777,163. to which reappropri- ;ations of s37,1s3.141 should be added, making $3,743.s4o,s05. The appropri- ations for 1923, including s233.739,726 for deficiencies during the year were s3.940.57s,e67. It has propriations to supply deficiencies and if we assume, as we are warrant : ed in doing. that the deficiencies for 1924 will require as large appropria- tions as were made for 1923. the en- tire appropriations for 1924 will ex- cced those of 1923 by 3190,937.221, and if reappropriations are included, by e228. .100.363."
 Comment is unnecessary" MT. Byrnes said. The figures speak for themselves. They are startling in view of the oft-repeated declarations of the administration that there have been great reductions and economies 7. in government expenditures"
 ,s-~-s3-.-, e O o
 . Says Appropriations Larger.
 The Tennessean asserted the ap- propriations for the next year would be more than three and a half times greater than 'those of tho pre-war year 1916.
 Chairman Madden complimentsd the budget bureau, which, he said. had submitted figures singuarly free of padding. The total estimates sent to Congress by the President for tho next fiscal year, he said. were t3,714.s 6o2,21s. This. he said, was an elo- quent tribute to the work of the bureau.
