director of the Budget Bureau, has
announced.
Increased allowances will go into

for each department has had, Its
own set of trayef regulations.
For the first time In many years,
as a result OF the new allowance.
Government clerks will be able to
break even" on their travel ex-
penses.
Since the war, with high prices
and low travel allowance, Federal
employees. have had to pay some OF
their travel expenses out o. their
own pockets. :
The new travel regulations were
made up by the Federal traffic
board through b committee on
which there were REPRESENTATIVES
OF every department. They viii be
distributed in pamphlet form In
about two weeks.
Congress has appropriated $S5..
314,59529 for travel expenses for
the current fiscal year. This is
an increase of $177 ,S30.6S over last
year, but will probably need to be
augmented under the new regula'
tons.

OF Buster in his latest comedy.
Wanted to BE Fighter
Buster Keaton had a youthful
ambition to be a prize fighter.
Since the age of three, when he
began touring the world with his
father and mother in a vaudeville
act. the youth regarded a cauli-
flower ear as badge OF honor
ranking with the Congressional
Medal.
Now he's glad his father dragged
him back to the stage every time
he tried to sneak away and fight
preliminaries. Actual experience
has taught the frozen faced screen
comedian that professional boxing
il all right for somebody, but not
for him.
For Keaton has made a picture

And there's the rub. The com.
edian, when he started the picture,
promised that he would train faith
fully. He recruited a corps of
pugilists from Los Angeles and San
ton at KernvilIe. Calf, and then
here completed before the com
Hollywood.
ROughed Him Up
Keaton swore off all pastries,
coffee, cigarettes and other things
he was accustomed to. Then he
instructed his trainers to treat him
like a fellow member of the boxing
craft. They did.
The actor-fighter accumulated a
flock of black eyes in rapid success
sion. What with a yearning for
Lady Nicotine, deep apple pies and
slabs Of Swiss cheese, Buster says
he became a nervous wreck.
But he stuck to his diet, finished
the nicture like real nugiIist and
then broke training with a bang.

Chautauqua, \. Y, Aug 20 LPl-A good newspaper, read regularly and with determination, has been de- scribed as source of happiness and the origin of a philosophy of life that will stand up.
 If you would be happy, follow closely the news of the day." de- olared Edward McKernon, superin- tendent of the eastern division of the Associated Press, speaking at Old First Night in celebration of the .52Rd anniversary of the found ing of the Chautauqua assembly.
 Contain Cold Facts of Life
 Read and contemplate" he said, for this is the beginning of wis dom. The one institution that with out equivocation or apology reflects human nature and presents to you the bare, cold facts of life is the daily press. You are not well in formed nor periodically equipped fer the duties of citizenship unless With diligence you follow succeeding events as they pass in review on the printed page.
 The problem of our society is not the ignorance of the uninformed, but the loose thinking of the mis- informed. The man who does not think at all is lesser liability. The ore who thinks but has not learned to think straight is social menace. We cannot think straight until we have comprehensive knowledge of thngs as they are, and this is to be hsd only from the newspapers,
 Make Masses Think
 The intellectual independence of tie editorial page has been estab- lined. The advertising columns lave been purified of that which was Intended to exploit. The Associated Fess was organized by newspapers D give their readers bare facts of lie and invite them to do their own milking. The effect has been so- ial triumph. Today the masses are linking for themselves and natural there is a revolt against the fab ulous."
