Broken Budgets

temper leaps DER a cold decree" What is
a budget between political friends?
Against this easy going disregard of bust
ness plans President Coolidge now comes
with emphatic protest Addressing confer
ence of federal executive officers this week,
he declares that he will countenance no over
stepping of departments appropriation,
save in the most serious emergencies. 1--WE
are all the servants of the people of this
nation" he said. when Congress, repre-
senting the people has appropriated the
of government, we must confine our opera
tons within the limits of those funds. We
have neither the authority the right to
incur obligations beyond them. On the other
hand, our plain duty is to make every pos
sible effort to effect some savings. l say
to YOU frankly that except where specifically
auth"";zed by law, will not countenance the
incurring of obligations in excess of appro-
priations I am equally fran in saying that
do not look with favor upon the practice
of asking for additional funds f. the year

justified occasionally to meet contingencies
arising after the budget has been sent to
Congress- or to mot obligations auth orized
by law 1t is only in such c@@es that the
chief executive will favor he transmission to
Congress of supplemental estimates"
Prosaic as they are, these words are of high
practical import to Americans. The budget
system was introduced into government VIII
view to effecting sorely needed economy.
Faithfully adhered to, it will go far toward
checking extravaganza, discovering lneth-
cienc-, nd establishing businesslike admin
istration. But the best of plans is service
able only to the extent that it is pursued A
broken resolution is worse than no resolution
and a brok budget is little better.

CHAPTER XXNIII
transformation

IN URING her first two weeks in New
| York, Gail too busy to be lone
ly. In that time she learned many
things which in Dalesburg had seemed inn
portant, but which after she had time to
think things over and take stock Of the sit
uation seemed somehow trivial.
She learned the secret Of buying clothes
through going to one of the most exclusive
houses in the city and putting herself in
the hands of one of the heads of the es-
Enlistment.
Dixons was on Fifth avenue, and Miss
Clavering, to whom Gail confided her needs,
saw in the girl fairly interesting material
Inasmuch Gail had apparently plenty of
money to spend, Miss ClaVering personally
selected four models for her. One was a
three-piece street costume of dark blue
cloth, the frock embroidered in gold thread
and the coat collared with dark gray fox
There We're two afternoon dresses, one OF
tan chiffon and one of black made without
sleeves. The evening dress, however, was
the piece de resistance. 1t was of dead
white with touches of monkey fur and for
a wrap Miss Clavering chose a loose gray
coat which could be utilized for either att
ernoon or evening.
With shoes, silk stockings, filmy lingerie
and three hats. Calls bill came to $1,100,
and it was with a sensation of shock that
she wrote out a check in the cream and
gray office of Miss Clavering and went
home to await the arrival of her fine feath-
ers.
Eleven hundred dollars, What would her
father think if he knew? Eleven hundred
dollars just for clothes. and her hotel room
was costing her 81 day with all her meals
extra,
Gail felt inwardly sick, and mere than
little afraid of what she had done. With the
tradition of Dalesburg behind her, the years
of strict economy naggng at her conscience,
she realized that she had been wildly eN
travagant. Her money was slipping away
from her, and suppose, after all, her
beautiful adventure came to nothing. Had
she escaped from Dalesburg only to find her
self in another prison? So far she had met
no one. and she hadn't the slightest idea of
how to go about meeting any one, and now
that she at last possessed the clothes she had
always longed for, clothes beautiful enough
TO make even Fay Forrison open her eyes, she
had no place to wear them, there was no one
to see her in them
With the arrival of the boxes, however,
Calls spirits went up. and she was again
sef-confident. sure of the success of her eX-
pertinent. 1t was intoxicating to lift the
lovely things out Of their wrappings, TO slip
into them and parade up and down before
the mirror and TO realize that they were all
hers. paid for with her money.

WHEN IGNORANCE ACTS
BY H. Arlington Bruce
GAIN and again we have forced upon
II us the truth of Goethes saying:

A GAIN and again we have forced upon
II us the truth of Goethes saying:
= There is no more terrible sight than
ignorance in action"
Behold a person stricken with a deadly
disease. His one chance of recovery is treat
ment by physician having the ability and
resOurcefulness that come only from ex-
perience and sound medical training.
Instead, for one reason another, the sick
man entrusts himself to the care of some
self-styled healer, yeritable ignoramus so
far as medical SCIENCE is concerned. His lack
of knowledge does not prevent him from at
lacking the difficult problem his patients
case presents.
Day by day the patient visiby loses ground.
Still the healer rashly persists in treating
him by methods which only too plainly are
not bringing the desired result. Finally pa
tient or healer becomes frightened, and the
physicians who should have been summoned
in the first place is called in.
He comes, but he comes too late. A few
days, a few weeks longer, and services are
being said at the grave of one who might
have lived had he not been subject of ignor-
ance in action.
Behold another person, financially favored
through a sudden stroke Of good fortune.
Forthwith he INDUCES a long-cherished long
ing to add an automobile to his worldly
goods
Adding one, he undertakes to drive it with
out first taking the trouble to familiarize
himself either with its mechanism or the
rules of the road. To make matters worse
he is a slow-thinkng, slowreactng person.
Yet he does not hesitate to drive fast
For time he escapes misfortune Then
one day he careens around curve, to crash
into another car. The impact is heard afar,
and all who hear it come running Alas.
There is nothing that be done for the
occupants of either automobile. Did Goethe
exaggerate?
And once more behold a person, a woman,
endowed with but a slender Inheritance
Through tine mail, offerings of this or that

with them the temptation Of high interest

experienced adviser before making any com
mitments. But she has not had opportunity to
develop financial wisdom.

high interest rate does not materialize. Nor
does she ever see again the principals that

She may not starve. But thereafter exist

A BIBLE<THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY


Let the wicked forsake his ways, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him
return unto the Lord, and He will have
mercy upon him, and to our God, for
He Mill abundantly pardon. For My
thoughts are not your thoughts, neither
are your ways My nays, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are high above the
earth, so are My nays higher than your
nays, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh DOM, and the
SH0W from heaven, and retHrneth not
thither, but watereth the earth, and max
eth it bring forth and bud, that it may
give seed to the sower and bread to the
eater, so shall Ny word be that goeth
out Of My mouth; it shall not return unto
Me poid.-Isdiah 55:7-I1.

Ben Franklin $ Faith

TT Is significant that the birth month of
Benjamin Franklin after the drift of two
hundred and eighteen years, should find
his countrymen of today recalling with graft
tude, not only his contributions to
craftsmanship, education, social service,
also and particularly to the life of mans
spirit. We used to be told at school that
there were two outlooming personalities in
the early annals of American thought--Jona-
than Edwards, the idealist, and Franklin,
the doer. The impression was left that
Benjamin, inasmuch as he mingled heartily
DER with the "pale cast of thought" must
stand forever protagonist of the unspirit-
ual IL not the earthly in our national litera-
ture. But time, the old justice who tries all
men well, is giving the CHEEKY philosopher
his due.
He, Is admired now more than ever as one
who 'snatched the lightning from heaven
and their scepter from tyrants." What he
did for science and for the freeing and
forming of America are the more valued,
the more they are scrutinized. Only the
other day his definition of electricity was
quoted by distinguished writer on the sub
ject as an example of marvellous discern
ment: "The electrical matter consists of
particles extremely subtle, since it can per-
meate common matter, even the densest,
ceive any appreciable resistance" Such was
Franklin's conception century and a half
before men talked of "electrons." But that
Is no more characteristic of him than his pa
tient working out and bold declaration of
the following creed in an age restless with
all manner of questioning: THAT there is
one God, Who made all things; That He
governs the world by His providence That
He ought to be worshiped by alteration
prayer and Thanksgiving. But that the most
acceptable service to God is doing good to
man. That the soul is immortal, And that
God will certainly reward virtue and punish
vice, either here or hereafter" These be-
liefs he held not as a secondhand formula
but as the living, growing fruit of a per-
sonal conviction and experience
Still more impressive, both in themselves
and as revelation of Franklin's spirit, are
his historic words to the trainers of the Con
stitution I'VE have searched for three
weeks in political darkness and have found
nothing. Let us invoke the divine guidance
OF the Father Of Light upon our proceedings

The idealsts faith stated by Jona-
than Edwards more imposingly than this, but
for the rank and file of human hearts, not

watcher of the world and kind helper of his
