Annual Saving of $54, ,ooo, 900
Expected-Drastic Army
Cut Officially Denied

q sa+ s
BY ROBERT S. THoRNBURGH,
To begin the foundation for the
tax reduction proposal which the
Administration will lay before
Congress in December, the Bureau
Of the Budget is preparing pre-
Iiminary estimates of expenditures
for the fiscal year 1926-1927 that
win result in cutting present ex-.
penses approximately 2 per cent,
it was learned at the Treasury
today.
In the meantime, drastic econo-
mics are the rule in all Govern
nent departments and it is esti-
mated that . surplus of some
thing over q 500. .00O, 900 will
stand to the peoples credit In the
Treasury at the end of this
6iscal.year on June 80 next.
FIXED BY Coolidge.
Until the maximum amount which
nay be spent next year has beef
tixed by President Coolidge in hts
addFess to the business organization
Of the Government on June %, the
exact amount Of the contemplated
reduction win not be known, but
the Budget Bureau is already work
ing out plans for effecting the 2
per cent cut in all expenditures
ever q period OF five years.
Heads of Government depart
.nents have been advised informally
of this policy and are drafting their
preliminary estimates with this end
s1n view.
On the basis Of the present gov
arnmental operating expenses of
81 700. 900. 900 q year, this reduction
would result In an annual saving
q $64 900 900, or more than a half
billion dollars during the next five
yoars.
Military Men Alarmed.
These fisuresAdo not include the
operation Of the Postoffice Depart
ment, which is financed by postal
receipts, nor the payment OF inter
est and principal on the public debt.
In some branches OF the Govern
ment, especially the War and Navy
Departments, officials are CEN
cerned over the latest cost cutting
plan because they feel that re-
ductions which are too drastic
might impair the efficiency of the
military forces and result in con-
siderable curtailment of personnel
and operations.
War Department officials were
alarmed by published reports, which
later proved to be unfounded, that
the army would have to bear a re-
duction In expenses OF more than
5000. 600 next~year. =
1t was declared officially, how
ever, that it was not the intention
oe either the President or the
Budget Bureau to compel any de-
partment to make such q radical
cut. in its estimates, but thai any
sweeping reductions which were
ordered would be divided, so far as
Il is possible, over all departments
for a period OF five or more years

Sought As Aid
Late in February while in the
oil fields / had u telephone cal!
from Mildred advising that the
Citizens Association was seeking
my serviceszas publicity manager
for the impending campaign for
election of municipal officers. She
urged me to hurry in to Dallas
and get the job. It meant four
or five weeks intensive work,
but at good pay, and | would be
at home.
l returned to DalIs at once,
but was too late. I learned that
a member of the executive COM
mittee had suggested that they
"get Lowrie for the publicity"
and one of the members, a new
man, had been delegated to at
tend to the matter. An eX-servica
man, Captain Robert Lowry, had
recently opened publicity and
advertising office in Dallas and
the committeeman who had been
appointed to get me nistoOk the
other Lowry for the man he was

was telephoned to one morning
by an official high in the coun-
ellis Of the public service corpora
tons and asked if + could meet
him within half an hour.
The meeting proved to be a pri-
vate conference, with others pres
ent, and I was offered the posi-
tom of publicity manager for the
opposite political party, with an
understanding that I was to have
$500 a week for my services. y
Sympathies on Opposite Side

inclinations We're with the Citi-

offer, and the very first thing
l did was suggest that the new
party change the name it had
tentatively adopted. 1 pointed
out that the name not only lent
itself to ridicule, but invited it.
The name was Voters indie

making it Independent Voters

that the initials of the former
could easily be made into a
derisive term.

worse at some one Of these loclh-
ties.
1t is known that from fifteen
to seventeen school children out
of every hundred are subject to
headaches.
Headaches occur most frequent
~ as the result of some poisoning
Of the system. They also occur
from injuries, new growths, eK-
cessive heat and undernutrition.
When you breathe bad air vOd
lay the foundation for headache

impurity
When you drink beverages con-
tanning an excess of two ounces
of alcohol day you force the de-
velopment of waste products
which, if not eliminated, cause
headaches This is that old hold

ache that may even yet abide in
your memory.
When you fail to throw off the

but which are not carried off
because of defective action of the
skin, the kidneys, the lungs, there
is a resulting accumulation that
tends to cause headache.
When you expose yourself to
infectious diseases such as colds,
influenzas, pneumonias and the
various catching" diseases, and
when the infection begins to be
active, you will generally have a
chill, followed by fever--both be-
ing associated with headache.
When your head begins to ache
after you have used your eyes
for a little while and when the
headache ceases after you have
rested your eyes, you may know
that the trouble is caused by eye
strain.
When headaches suddenly de-
velop and persist following an
injury to the head, you may know
that the change is due to some
condition in the brain that has
been caused by the injury.
why do some people have and
other people not have headache
under apparently the same con-
ditions?" is your rather natural
inquiry.
In such cases, in the absence
of other demonstrate causes, the
condition is said to be one of
'idiosyncrasy, which means a state
of sensibility peculiar to and born
with the individual.
This does not necessarily mean
hereditary, although there are
numerous cases in which the
headache idiosyncrasy has ap-
peared consistently and persis-
tently in succeeding generations.

He agreed to take care of the

issue went to press, but 1t was

I went home for Christmas
with a clear conscience and the
year 1921 dawned brightly. Our
bank account had grown again
and I had lots of work awaiting
me.
During the early part of 1921 I
continued to write oil advertising
almost exclusively. Hicks tried to
get me to continue the South

refused to do so unless he sue
ceeded in getting it permanently

a few unpaid accounts for adver'

the screen, with all its problems in
mind.
when we do, it will be a wonder
full thing, for genius will think in
terms of the screen, will write for
the screen, and inspiration will not
get cold in the mechanical business
of translating a masterpiece from
one medium to another.
Whether a university is the
proper place to train screen writer's,
l do not know. 1t seems to me
that they would be rather far-re-
moved from reality, from the tech
nical problems which make screen
writing so different from fiction
writing.
when you write a novel or a
short story, you don't have to stop
to consider the mechanical business
of printing or binding 1t. But when
you write for the screen you have
to think in terms of the camera, it's
possibilities and limitations; in terms
Of sets, or art and Of lighting eff
fects
You have to consider whether
you can get an idea over. 1t is not
enough to put 1t In the scenario. 1t
must be capable Of being filmed or
making its point in' a picture.
Sometimes 1t takes longer to de-
velop an idea on the screen than n
does, correspondence, in print. And
other times. as 1 have found it took
several pages of written dialogue to
develop subtle point while a ca
pable director Of pictures could tell
1t on the screen in a moment.
THE studio itself would be the
best place, 1t seems to me, to de-
velop men and women into screen
writer's. After all, very few short
stories or novels written in college
courses areever sold. College courses
give technical instruction in writing.
