No doubt is suggested as to the
ability of the L. S. A. to apply it's
resources to financing the European
situation on peaceful and practical
terms. In addition to the distributed
wealth the Government itself has
large sums due it from abroad which
in time will no doubt be rated as
available assets.

Budget Bureau Generosity.

Yesterday the Budget Bureau gave
approval to District fund allotment
Of S31. .551 sos as the maximum which
the Commissioners may ask of Con-
gress. This is about $4,000, 900 less
than the amount sought by the Com
missioners, but is nearly $4,000 900
more than the amount that the bu-
reau approved last year. Thus the
Budget Bureau does a little better
than split $3.50 between last years
allowance and this years requisition.
The manner in which Congress
handled District finances last session
leaves the Capital taxpayers in some
what of Il fog regarding their pros
poets, causing them to look with some
doubt upon the generosity of the
Budget Bureau. Now that the fixed
ratio principle has been abandoned
by Congress, there is no assurance
whatever of the amount or percent
age Of the funds that will be con-
tributed by the Government for Cap
ital maintenance and development.
There can be no assurance of stabil-
ity. No one can figure, even approx
imately, upon the tax rate or the
tax levy.
Unquestionably the District can
with good effect expend all of the
S3l ,55l sos which the Budget Bureau
grants. 1t could spend, indeed, all Of
the 37.00O,00O which the Commits
sioners estimated and for which they
ask Budget Bureau approval. There
are many accumulated municipal
needs. The Capital has not yet ap-
preciably gained upon the arrears
caused by wartime economies. The
would not, if granted in full by Con-
gress, do more than make start
upon the reduction of this accumu-
lation.
Under the old system of a fixed
ratio there was an at once gratifying
and disappointing guarantee of econ
, omy i'll appropriations by Congress.
There was assurance that however
great the needs the amounts appro-
priated would not be too heavily bur-
densome upon the District taxpayer.
For Congress was certain to safe
guard the Federal Treasury by keep
ing down the total amount, and there
fore the Federal proportion. Now
there is no such obligation. The
nine million dollars of Federal money
this year may be only five million
dollars another year, while the Dis
trict's budget is increa sed to the point
of doubling the tax rate in order
that District funds may be forthcom-
ing to meet acquisitions.
So there is mixture of gratitude
and doubt in the public mind on the
score of the Budget Bureaus greater
generosity. Hope prevails that the
fair words spoken by advocates Of
the lump-sum method Of appropria-
ton of Federal money to aid in Dis
trict maintenance will be translated
into terms of real liberality when this
larger budget reaches the Capitol.
The District has found in the past,
however, that fair words are not an
assured guide to performance. 1t has
learned to it's sorrow that even stat
utes which are apparently binding as
pledges and obligations are not so
regarded by the legislature in which
the District has no voice, the legis-
lature which is the taxing body as
we'll as the appropriating body, the
legislature that in this relationship
and character so definitely repudiates
the doctrine laid down by the Declara-
tion of Independence that taxation
without representation is tyranny:

LACE SLEEVES

Young girls need as many party dresses a. any other individual gar ment. so it behooves them to resur- rect all the old ones and remake them for active service. One of last years dresses had a tight bodice and full skirt. It had bateau neck line and plain armholes which inevi- tably got stained and ugly. To change it into an entirely fresh and quaint frock. the neckline has been cut into a deep V front and back and the armholes cut bigger all around
 Then perky sleeves of lace, dyed to match the dress, are gathered into the holes. and wings of the lace come down as far as the point in back, to cover the stained places at the shoulderblades. The edges of both the sleeves and collar wings are bound with rather wide silver rib- bon. which has a thread line of color at the edges. This forms the finish ing of the neckliRe and the armholeS too, and the point of the V in front is made most attractive by the addi- tion of a big puffy flat bow of the ribbon. The ribbon can renew any other bad spots such as the hem or waistline. If the dress was too short, let down the hem and bind the edge with ribbon and sew & row of the ribbon also around the old fold in the material. which really cannot be ironed out satisfactorily.

Yes, of course women may propose in 1924 or any other year-but only the unimaginative are reduced to doing it.
 A woman's proposal will leave a man cold unless she first brings him to the boiling-beg pardon, propos- ing-point. If she does get him that far, she won't have to go farther!
 To do her own proposing deprives a female forever of her most satisfy ing comeback: "Why did you ask me to marry you. when you don't know how to treat 8 wifeT'
 Also of that other comeback: "Ev- erybody said I. could have done so much better-but you wouldn't let me alonei"
 No, indeed. the old-fashioned girl never proposed to a man. The only thing she did was to say, with just the proper quaver in her voice, that mother thought they ought not to see so much of each other-people were
