The $266.532.430 decrease in the
1926 budget under the 1925 budget
was made up of decreased expendi-
lures in many governmental aetivi-
ties which were in part counter
balanced by increases in others.
Among major governmental agencies
for which decreased expenditures
were recommended were:
Shipping board, emergency fleet
corporation, the veterans bureau,
interest on the public debt and the
departments of commerce, interior,
labor, navy, state. treasury and
wal.
Many Other Increases
Among other agencies for which
expenditures were re-
ported were:
Government printing, federal
board for vocational education.
federal power commission. interstate
commerce commission, tariff com
the District of Columbia

tens mentioned by the President
Included $l0,500,000. for flood con-
rel on the Mississippi and Sacra-
nento rivers and $3.0i0,390 to com,

The amount set aside for sol

applications had so far

and that if the applications IN.
crease unexpectedly, a supplemental
estimate could make up the amount
required.
In pointing out the necessity of

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Feb. 23.-
More than 10000 crows, it Is esti.
mated, fell today under the fusillads
Of gunfire in the first annual crow
drive conducted by the Lehigh
County Fish and Game Protective
association.
Although the slaughter was great
under weather conditions that were
ideal for the purpose, today's hunt
made only q dent in the crow
population OF Lehigh county, which
Is estimated at over half q million.
Crows, State game commission Of.
ficials say, are most destructive of
small game, in that they not only
destroy young rabbits and quail and
pheasants, but eat the eggs as well.
So serious has the pest become that
hunters in AL parts OF thu State
are advocating small bounties for
killing the back. maraude g
'Today's drive was managed by
James d. Greary, local game pro.
tector, who organized squads of men
in every section of the county to
make war on the pests. Favorite
spots were the piggeries, several
miles beyond the city limits. Other
crow rendezvous were well planted
with food the past few days In order
to attract the birds. Oscar Muth.

In addition to those that were
brought down under gunfire, thou.

RHEUMATISM Is
ILL AMONG
PLANTS
Purdue University Professor
Finds Corn Affected and
Discovers Cure.

What oddly corresponds to a
human disease, agricultural experts
say. is the cause Of yearly losses in
our corn production. This disease
is due to faulty nutrition. the same
as ricketts, in children, but in the
case of corn, however, the seat Of
the trouble being located in the
joints, Prof. Hansen, Of Purdue
University, calls it corn rheuma-
tism."
A recent survey conducted by
Professors Hoffer and frost and
the botanical staff of the Purdue
University agricultural experiment
station in conjunction with the Of
flee of cereal investigation here,
reports that this corn rheuma-
tism' is prevalent throughout our
country.
Diet for Plants.
Hidden drains on the human sys-
tenn are often hard to locate. Like
wise, many a corn grower must
have been puzzled at the sight Of
normally tall plants. that somehow
refused to ripen ears properly, even
under the best weather conditions.
Unknown to him, however, accumu-
1ations of certain metals in the
joints Of the plants were causing
the trouble.
Corn rheumatism" is said to be
easily recognized and quickly cur
able, once the facts about it are
known. It is now scientifically es-
tablished that just as an unbal-
anced diet may develop ricketts,
in children, so may an unbalanced
plant diet, one lacking in available
potash, cause corn rheumatism"
The Investigations found only one
remedy for this cause of corn
rheumatism"-more potash applied
to the soil.
Easy to Diagnose.
BY Sitting a few Of the corn
stems lengthwise it can easily be
detected whether or not corn
rheumatism" has set in. If pres
ent, the interiors of joints are con-
siderably darker than the remainder
of the stem tissues. This shows
that iron and other metals that
break down the tissues Of the
joints, have collected, thereby clog
ging the food transportation sys.
TENS Of the corn plants and caus-
ing poor yields.
Potash is the natural element of
rich soil which normally prevents
this harmful modal accumulation Of
metals. Corn soon exhausts the
soil of potash unless the farmer
keeps refunding it each year. Ex.
tensive field experiments proved
time after time that potash was as
Elective in restoring normal corn
crops as the proverbial cod liver
oil in curing ricketts,.

PEARL DIVERS WORK TO
! MODERN JAZZ MUSIC

Pearl diving to jazz music, with
motion pictures and flivver sight
seeing trips between dives is the
latest sport In the remote South
Sea islands, according to Robert
Cushman Murphy. In an address be-
fore the National Geographic So
ciety last night at Masonic Temple.
The divers declare an open sea-
son" on a practically uninhs -bited
island, Mr.. Murphy explained. With
in a few weeks q crowd OF 1000
natives has gathered, Electric lights
are strung to form a white way"
a brass band blares forth the latest
popular airs, temporary movie thea
tiers are opened and fleet OF Amer
lean flivvers hauls natives up and
down the beach, Then, when the
waters near the island are complete
ly denuded Of pearls the island is
again deserted until q new pearl
crop is grown by the enterprising
bivalves.
Mr.. Murphy was a member of a
party Of scientists who cruised
among many Of the French islands
collecting specimens Of animal life.
The islands, he stated, constitute a
natural laboratory for evolution
study.

1t will be noted that Mr.. Tinkham at
tributes the growth of crime largely to
the fact that the certain sects of the
Christian church have departed from the
execution of their normal duties and con-
centrSted upon the enactment and main
tenance of political statutes as REM

That Mr.. Tinkham is correct ut least
to some degree in what he has said in
this connection. is undeniable. All over

audible and Ineligible to HOLES had
he been conscious. Nearer rang the
cry upon the silent night:
Bring out your dead!'
The vehicle halted at the mouth
of the alley in which the colonel lay,
and a man advanced, holding flam-
ing link above his head so as to cast
its rudy glare hither and thither to
search the dark corners of that by
way.
This man beheld two bodies
stretched upon the ground the colo
nels' and the one over which the colo
mel had stumbled. He shouted some
thing over his shoulder and advanced
again. He was followed a momen:
later by the cart. conducted by his
fellow, who walked at the horses head,
pulling at short pipe.
Whilst he who held the torch stood
there to light the other in his work,
his companion stopped and rolled over
the first body, then stepped forward,
and did the same by Colonel HOLES.
The man with the link thrust this
into a holder attached to the front of
the dead cart. Then the two Of them
on their knees made an examination
of the body, or rather Of such gar
ments as were upon ii.
Not MUCH trouble over here, Lar
ry." said one.
They rose, took down their hooks,
and Selling the body by them they
swung it up into the vehicle.
Fetch the prancer nearer" said
Nick. as he turned and stepped to-
ward HOLES. The horse was led for
ward some few PAGES, so that the light
from the cart now fell more fully
upon the colonels long supine figure.
Nick went down on one knee beside
him, and uttered grunt of satisfac-
ton. This is BETTER
His fellow came to peer over his
shoulder.
"A gentry cove. damme." he swore
with horrible satisfaction. Their prac-
ticed ghoulsh fingers went swiftly
over HOLES. and they chuckled ob-
scenely at sight of the half dozen gold
pieces displayed in Larry's filthy
paw.
Not much else" grumbled one aft
or further inspection.
There's his sword-a rich hilt; look,
Larry"
and there's a fine pair o. stamp
crs." said Larry, who was already
busy about the colonel's feet. LEND
a hand. Nick"
They pulled the boots off and made
a bundle of them, together with the
colonies hat and cloak. This bundle
Larry dropped into a basket that
hung behind the cart. whilst Nick re-
manned to strip Holes of his doublet.
Suddenly he paused.
