Controller General Plan Also
advantageous, Representa-

CHICAGO. December Five years
of experience have shown that the
Government budget system has been
eminently successful from an eco.
nomic standpoint, Representative Mar.
tin b. Madden Of Illinois, chairman of
the appropriations committee, told the
Chicago Real Estate Board last night.
He listed the outstanding advan-
tages, which he said the budget had
accomplished. as follows:
Responsibility for the Government s
financial program has been placed
squarely on the President.
Each department has had placed
within it the stabiliZing influence of a
budget officer. Overlapping of activi-
ties has been eliminated to q large de-
gree by coordination of efforts.
All officials in charge of money have
been forced to consider the cost.
Another advantage, he said was the
creation of the office of controller gen
erai to pass upon the legality of eX-
penditures as a result of which mil
lions of dollars have been saved.

PINE NEEDLES FITTED
FOR CHRISTMAS TRADE
Section Of Mississippi Supplying
Material for Gift Boxes and
Other Art Objects.

By the Associated Press.
WIGGINS, Miss, October 2S.-In
that section OF Mississippi where the
tall long-leaf pine casts it's shadow on
the hillsides. busy fingers are picking,
sorting and polishing the long pine
needles to be made into gift baskets
and other art objects for the Christ
mas trade.
Vases. baskets, floor lamps. jewel
casketS and boxes of various types
are woven from the homely pine nee-
dies. Thousands of dollars were
brought into the State last year by
what has become known as the fire
side industry" and woman members
of county demonstration clubs who
have become experts at the art were
unable to fill all orders.
The demand for the woven objects
has lifted the work from a pastime,
furnishing club members with pin
money" into an actual commercial
class. The work is distributed among
members and the proceeds are divided
according to the time and work put
in. With materials free, all of the in
come Is clear profit.
Weaving of native materials began
during the war between the States,
when manufactured articles were
scarce ana the need for them great.
Mrs. J. M. McAfee of West Point, Ca,
who made both hats and baskets. was
credited with having originated the
work.
