Program for Year.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 1.-More
economy in government and more
tax re luction for the people is the
keynote of the Administration s
financial program for the coming

idge announced his determination to
see that this program was followed
out.
The President announced that the
executive branch Of the Govern

it's part, and declared his first
move will be to require that pre-
liminary estimates of expenditures
for the fiscal year beginning July
l, 1925, tentatively set at $3,089,-
100000, be cut below $4,000, 200. 900.

GERTRUDE GUSTIN DOES THE
GLORIOUS THING At MURAT

We made a big discovery last
hight at the Murat.
The program for kenny" stated
lat Gertrude Gustin plays the role
Of Katherine Bence. a small town
graduate who lost her head over the
foolish nonsense Of alleged city high
brows who want to lead their own
lives and all OF that stuff.
That is all I knew about Gertrude
Gustin, but she wasn't on the stage
for five minutes last night until the
large audience sat up and took
notice.
This woman made her first ap-
pearance at the Murat last night
and before the final curtain came
down everybody was pTaising this
new member Of the Murat Players.
The fact is that she overshadowed
others in the cast and even the play.
And that IS no criticism Of the
other actors present in kenny"
Miss Gusdn has that something
which would make any role. She
has emotional reserve. She knows
how TO build a scene and above all
she knows how. to talk so she can
be heard. And she knows how to
walk She knows how 20 create a
character. This woman does not
rely upon mere words TO form a
character. but she combines words,
personality and business, the result
being a powerfully commanding per-
Torrance.
My tip is to watch this woman in
the next few weeks. No announce
&Ment had been made that sac was
4{Rng TO join the Murat Players.
She flashed on and the result was a
triumph. I am not excited. have
seen the real article in acting. See
this woman in kenny" by all
means this week at the Murat.
so there will be no misunderstood
ing. my words Of praise in no way
retracts from the splendid work done
BY others in the cast
Harol1 Vermilye is playing the
Kempy role. the part created by
Ell Dit Nugent, and I am sure that
il Nugent could see Vermilye in the
part he would congratulate him. \

Hard on PETERS
Some praise is accorded the insect
by deputy sheriffs who are all but
despairing of breaking up petting
parties along county lanes. 1t
seems that the little beasts (the mo-
squitos, of course) are the only ones
thus far disposed to law enforcement
to aid the sheriffs.
On the other hand, the music they
make in ones ear is not at all popu-
lar. Instead of jazz it's jabb!
Oil of citronella, generously
sprayed on screens and porch fur
niture is calculated so to offend the
insect that he takes the slight to
heart and returns no more. Where
this fails, it is pointed out, the only
thing left to do is to treat the insect
with GOODNESS, hold yourself frigidly
aloof, refuse to associate with him
in other words, stay in the house

OPENS WITH WGOR
Those Vicious Insects Show Annoying Desire to Lnger
on Front PorcheS and in Parked Autos.

The open season for mosquitoes
has opened wider than ever in the
past month, according to a canvass
of the neighborhood front porch

Frank Wallace, State entomolo-
gist, points out that the recent rains

mosquitoes show a preference for
leaf-filled cave troughs and clogged
downspouts in which to bear and
rear their young.
Mosquitoes. under favorable cir

A mosquito may live only a week or
ten days normally, but he leaves

His life is shortened or heightened
only as the vigilance of his victim
is at a high point, or, due to tough
skin or sheer ennui, is at low ebb.

Wallace says a teacup full of
water can produce about one thou

the water in which the larvae are

Uniuersity High Wins

The Gamecocks of University High
 opened their basketball season Friday afternoon against Jefferson County High with a 41 to 17 victory at the
 Birmingham Athletic club, showing good form in their initial cage encoun- ter.
 The teamwork of the Wildcats, who have not had much chance to prac- tice, due to an outdoor court, was lack
 ing, and they were unable to pierce
 the defense of the universities. Most of
 their shooting was at long range, and
 this was rather wild most of the time. The Gamecocks- passed well at times working the ball under the basket in good form. However, they missed a
 number of easy shots at the loops. es-
 pecially in the latter period, when they
 slowed up some.
 Mike Grabin was the big offensive star, although he was off in his shoot
 ing at close range. He rang up sew
 line to score a total of 15 points. Lewis
 Wood, Mike Trippi and B. c. Mccoy
 worked well in the offense, each of
 this trio showing good eye for the
 basket. Joe Burt, playing a basket
 ball game for the first time in his young life, made known the fact that
 he was a good defensive guard.
 Dismukes, Sorrel and Bailey played the star roles for Jefferson County
 Sorrel a rather wee individual, sub stituted toward the latter portion of the first period, and rang up a couple of field goals. The summary and lineups: University High (4D-McCoy CD and
 Grabin 05), forwards; Wood QQ, cen- ter: Trippi (9) and Burt, guards. Sub-
 stitutions-French for Wood, Wood for

Rickard Hasn't Signed

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Jan. 1s.- Jack Kearns, manager for Jack Demp- sey, reiterated today that he had not closed with Tex Rickard, or any other promoter, for . return match between Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons or for a ring battle between Dempsey and any other heavyweight. but repeated a dec1arAtion made in previous state ment that New York promoters were not alone in the desire to stage an- other clash for the heavyweight title. : Kearns declined to indicate what promoters haNe made overtures.
 That would be bad business to make information of that kind public at this time," sKearns said today. All I can say is that others outside of New York have been seeking such contests and that there are other states than New Dempsey Wills and a Dempsey -Firpo bout could be successfully staged, but who the promoters are and the states they come from cannot, for very good business reasons, specify at this time."
 He repeated that an announcement made in New York that Rickard had arranged for a Dempsey Gibbons bout in June was news to both the cham pion and to him.
 Kearns said he probably would go to Florida after leaving Hot Springs to meet Dempsey, and announced that he was considering a series of eXhibi- tions for Dempsey. He named Shreve- port fas one of the cities desiring to see Dempsey.
 Since I have been in Hot Springs, boxing. promoters in a number of cities in the south have been wiring and telephoning me, submitting offers to have the champion appear in their cities,", Kearns declared. "It is likely we may do so. However, when we work back and reach Shreveport, which is one of the cities desirous of seeing Dempsey, we will come back to Hot Springs, for I want Dempsey to come here and get the benefit of the hot baths. At the present time, l can not state how long I will be here. came here for a rest and am trying to get it.
