BUDGET PLANS
New Proposals by Two City
Boards Not Filed.

Revised estimates of 1928 budgets
for the board of public works and
public safety have not yet been filed

Buser named Tuesday as the date
for receiving new proposals to re-
place the original estimates which
he ordered slashed $4S5,OOO a few
days ago.
Members of both boards have
considered revisions of the budget

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-When
Noah, some thousands of years ago,
became the worlds first long range
weather forecaster, he based his syS-
tenn on divine revelation.
A little later Joseph did some long
range forecasting for Pharaoh. and
said his method was done by
dreams.
Herbert Janvrin Browne, modern
successor to these gentlemen, uses
many more words to show why he
thinks 1927 is a disaster year"
Some of them are sun spots, de-
creased solar radiation, the lunar
solar cycle, and ocean lags.
Roughly speaking, this is the
idea:
Oceans store up the suns heat
and retain it for long periods, and
: this makes the continents warmer
than they would be otherwise. But
the amount of radiation from the
sun has been decreasing for some
years-not the heat that you and 1
can feel, but the amount. OF radla-
ton, scientifically measured. AS
result the oceans are colder than
usual.
This Sounds Logical
Because the ocean is colder, winds
blowing over it are colder, and so IS
the land they finally reach.
It takes long time for warm and
cold ocean currents to move around,
and so the northern hemisphere is
Just getting the full effect, Of de-
creased solar radiation which began
in 1921.
Also the tides are bigger this
year, Browne says, because OF. the
position of the moon and sun, and
that is pulling up more cold water
from the depths of the ocean.
These different things happen q
cycles. They all come together in
1927 with ominous significance"
Browne says.
Just Like 100 B. G.
He has figured out that the same
combination of cycles caused the
Egyptian famine of Biblical fame,
about 100 B. c., and also Do
cletian's famine of 300 A. y.
Browne says he could tell in 1928
what 1927 weather would be like
because the number of sun spots was
increasing annually until this time.
But he hasn't made any predic-
ton whatever beyond this year. He
saws that because sun spots will now
begin to decrease, he must feel his
. way slowly
Since he believes that this years
weather here is largely the result OF
cooling in the water that took
place some time ago, it would seem
that Brownies theory ought to en-
able him to predict next years
weather from last years ocean tenn
peratures, regardless OF sun spots.
He does not explain why it does not.
Worries Financiers
The more detailed prophecies, by
which Browne forecasts the dates
of cold waves and other phenomena
two months or so in advance, are
made With the help of daily weather
maps of the northern hemisphere
issued by the German government.
Browne says: 81 receive those
maps by mail. I check up the pro-
gress of storms and cold waves
around the world exactly the way a
train dispatcher keeps track of the
trains in his section"
On the basis of his weather pre-
dictions, Browne also predicts grain
and other crops months ahead of
the time of their maturity, and has
announced "a grave food emer-
gency" for this year.
Wall Street, always nervous and
credulous, has reacted to his warn
ings to some extent, which makes
his business one of infinite posi-
bilities.

SUMMERTIME
Pond Lilies.
by ID. G. PEATTIE.

To see the splendid lotus YOU must
go many miles down the Potomac and
search the eStuarieS of the streams
that fall, with such musical names
Occoquan and Acotink-into the big
river. To find the great white water
lily you will have to go as far, at
least, as Fourmile Run, Laurel, or
Alexandria, though once, they tell us,
the pools below Great Falls knew it's
tranquil beauty. But though fla
mingoes and condors may be rara avis,
orioles are common and quite as love-
ly birds as take the wing and for me
the little yellow pond lily will do very
nicely-dear common thing that it is.
Back in the dawn of botany Lin.
naeus named these flowers Nymphaea,
and those who love the name and it's
watery, bouyant sound are confused
and annoyed to hear other names sub.
stituted. such as Nuphur and Nym.
phoZanthus. With their generous
green pads and their quaint green.
and-gold flowers that open and close
with such well-timed precision every
day, they are among the miracles of
our ftora-all too unappreciated.
The strange interest attaching to
the pond lilies is not so much in its
diurnal flowers nor it's curious leaves
often, but in the position that every
one accords to Nymphaca in the evolu-
ton of flowers from remote ancestors
that were not quite fioWer-bearing.
and not quite spOre- bearing. For, if
you will inspect the flowers of a pond
lily closely you will see that the green
outer sepals pass by insensible gra.
dations into petals. and the petals in
turn can hardly be distinguished from
the stamens. TO the philsophic mind
this suggests what there are other
grounds for believing that the parts
of flower all had a common origin
in some undfferentiated set of organs
that must have resembled leaves, if
they are not actually transformed
leaves. If this theory is tenable, then
the water lily, exhibiting this primi-
tive stage of flower development.
must be among the oldest flowers in
existence. There are more primitive
flowers than this. but the water lilies
claim that humble distinction in this
part Of the world.

Everyday Law Cases
Is Employer Liable for Negli-

DisrcGdrding His Ordcrs9
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

AS Henry Johnson, chauffeur for
James Clark, was putting away his
employers automobile for the night 4
stranger appeared and asked him ii
he knew of any one who could so out
to the foot of Mountain Drive to pull
in disabled car.
Johnson Thought for a moment and
saw an opportunity to make some
extra money for himself. Turning to
the stranger, he offered to go. He
took his employers car in violation OF
his employers express orders and,
with the stranger. started to drive to-
ward Mountain Drive. On the way
Johnson, speeding past a sharp inter
section. ran into Il light truck. which
had the right of way. and caused con-
siderable damage to it and injured the
driver.
The driver. learning that the car be-
longed to James Clark, a substantial
business man. whose estate was near
by, and that Johnson. who was driving
at the time was his chauffeur. entered
suit against Clark for the damages to
his truck and the injuries to himself.
The court, however, dismissed his
case against Clark, on the following
principle:
IAN employer is not liable for the
torts of his servants committed out of
the line of their duty. When a chauf-
feur takes his employers car at night.
in violation of express orders, to earn
money for himself he is not acting
within the line of his duty and the
employer is not liable for his negli-
gence on such a trip"

She had lost some weight, but was

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mothers are convinced that the baby
| daily diet in order to grow and de-
velop as he should. They are per-
haps not so we'll aware that this neces-
sity for milk holds good until the child
is up to the teens and beyond. And
these are the reasons why:
First, because milk contains every
| element for sustaining and nourish-
| ing life. The baby takes it alone for
| at least five months Of his life and
| fiOurishes on it. 1t contains protein
the right kind)-the one essential ele-
| ment needed to repair and rebuild
| the body cells, the new ones which
| the old ones which are broken down
and need rebuilding and repairing.
1t contains minerals, chiefly lime
Calcium, necessary to make the
child's teeth white, shining, and strong
and to give strength and rigidity to
the bones. Without the right minerals
| the bones remain soft and bend or are
pushed out of shape, while teeth
crumble and decay
The cream or milk is the finest form
| of fat. The active child needs this
| fat so that he may add fat to pad his
bones, and as ammunition against
colds and diseases.
Milk contains carbohydrates Sugars
and starches). These furnish the ener-
gy so that the baby can be as active
as he pleases, and also the heat to
keep up his bodily temperature. That
| is one reason we need less sugars and
starches in Summer than in Winter,
the child is less energetic and he does
not need as much heat in order to
retain his normal temperature.
In addition to all of these food ele-
ments there are the elusive vitamins.
! Milk contains all that are necessary
for complete nutrition.
We need not know what these are
| nor what their lack may result in;
if we give the child the proper amount
of fresh cows milk we will know that
he is getting sufficient of these ele-
| ments.
Milk which is boiled loses an i'm
portant vitamin and this is then sup
piled by orange or tomato juice. Milk
which cannot be taken whole and
has to have water added to it so the
baby can digest it must also have
additional sugar added to it to make
up the loss by dilution, and because
the human baby needs more sugar
than the small calf.
The older child cannot possibly
get enough growth foods in his gener-
al diet. He must have milk also.
This has been proved by scientists
who have experimental with the feed
ing of thousands of animals in order
to show that without milk a diet can
not be perfect. The child of one
year needs one quart Of milk daily.
in his diet. AT two years he can get
along with only pint to drink,
if more milk is used in cooking his
foods. Up to 10 years of age no child
should have less than pint of milk
day and a quart is even better.

THE WOMAN OF TWENTY.SEVEN
Copyright. 1927
BY CLYDE CALLISTER.

Do you agree with the statement
that woman of q Is too old to feel
or to be capable of love? A character
in one Of Jane Austen's novels ex-
presses this opinion which has since
been widely quoted. History. however.
proves that she was all wrong.

added to her Spanish inheritance a
goOdly infusion of Scotch blood. An
other example to show that the woman
of q is not too old for romance-Mary
Pickford was that age when she mar.
ried Dougles Fairbanks.
George Sand, the most famous of all
woman writer's Of France, went to
Paris when she was that age and all
her famous love affairs took place
thereafter. At that time, Aurore
