PREPARE TO SLASH
NEW WU.S.EST|MATES
Budget Bureau Trimmers to
Have Preliminary Figures
by Wednesday.

The bureau of the budget today
was preparing for the big job OF trim
ming down estimates for the gov
ernments fiscal year ending June 80,
1925, preliminary figures on which
will be due next Wednesday.
With one eye on President Hard
ing's demand for economy, the bureau
is expecting the departments and es-
adjustments which now are putting
the finishing touches on preliminary
estimates, to exercise the strictest
economy in preparation of their
figures
In fact, the President has demand
ed that the estimates themselves for
the year 1925 shall be S126,000.o0
less than the actual appropriations
| for 1924, so that those departments
which are counting on larger ap-
preparations than last year will be
expected by the budget to show the
most urgent need, as the cutting Will
nave to be without mercy In many
places.
Expenses are Limited.
Although estimates for the year
1929 necessarily are sketchy at the
p4eSNib blInF, lTtSlutnt III
no uncertain terms has set the limit
within which he expects the govern
I ment 10 operate.
He not only called for the reduc-
ton OF $l26.000.000 below the actual
appropriations for 1924, but said spe-
| director of the bureau Of the budget
my desire that the 1925 estimates
exclusive of the amount required to
meet the reduction in. and the in
terest on, the public debt and the
| amount required for the Post Office
department will not be in excess OF
$1,70n, 600 900"
Fully realizing this economy would
be a big job for those in charge OF
administration. the President told the
that this will tax your best efforts
but l have confidence in your ability
to md ways and means for lessen
| ing the amounts of your requests for
| funds"
Preliminaries Considered.
Even the preliminary estimates
| have not been submitted as yet, but
! budget officials have been casting
! their eyes over the situation ant
have been busy with surveys ot
what was available looking toward
! 1925.
| This has convinced them, II is un.
derstood. that the departments anc
establishments will have to be called
upon for real sacrifices. and that per.
/ hapS. after the estimates are sub
mitted finally in September. there
! may be necessary the actual pruning

CHILDREN IN THE STREET,.
Last year there were twenty
two children killed in Washing
ton by motor vehicles while
they were playing in the
street.
when driving a car, be on the
constant lookout to prevent
running down or striking a
child at play. A child with a
ball should be particularly
watched, the ball may bound in
the street and the youngster,
thinking only of the game,
front of your machine. If your
brakes are bad or you haven't
your car under control, the
child may be struck and prob
ably killed.
Children coasting on wagons
or sleds or on roller skates sell
dom pay the proper attention 10
traffic. and so the motorist must
pay attention to the children and
be prepared to stop quickly. A
boy on bicycle Is usually
very uncertain vehicle on the
streets; give him ample room
until you have passed him. he
may turn directly in your path
at any moment
The responsibility for a
childs death in a traffic acci-
dent is very often placed upon
the motorist, although IN many
cases 1t should be placed on the
parents OF the child killed.
Children should be taugfA from
babyhood how and where to

ed before reaching seven or
eight years old are seldom for
gotten throughout life. Streets

Outrivalling Fairy Tales

President Harding's midsummer
visit to "Seward s Icebox," us
Alaska was designated after its
purchase under The rccommenda-
tion of Secretary Seward, calls at
tcntion to the remarkable develop
ment of that area since its purchase
from Russia by the United States
in 1867 There were knockers -
in those days as well as now and
those who recall from their per-
sonal remembrance or reading the
fierce criticism of an appropriation
OF $7,200,000 in full payment for
this enormous area, practically
double the size of the original
thirteen states, will be interested
to note some figures appearing i'll
the Trade Record of The National
City Bank of New York as to
Alaska's development and especial
ly in wealth production in the Sc
years since its purchase.
The mere area, sol 200 square
miles, says the Trade Record, is
nearly twice that of the thirteen
original states (325,000 square
miies) and it's contributions to
our wealth especially in recent
years are startling when compared
with the small sum paid for it.
The Alaska Bureau Of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, which has
special facilities for keeping close
tab on conditions in Alaska, since
Seattle is the chief port through
which Alaskan products enter, csti-
mates the total output of minerals
and metals in Alaska since its pur
chase at $460,000,00O down to 1920,
whichs would bring the grand ap-
pregate at the present time to about
$500, 100000.
But it is not in minerals and
metals alone that Alaska has made
great contributions to the wealth
and domestic requirements of the
country. The outturn of the fish
