seemed even more severe than when
she was last seen in Europe, in her
trip OF 1926.
She was a great favorite with to-
days spectators, who gave her more
generous applause than Suzanne

her popularity here.
Miss Sterry fought valiantly against
her renowned opponent and took the
second set from Miss Wills, 6-3,
while the spectators gasped.

D. c. HEADS PLAN
STUDY OF BUDGET
Estimates for 1928-29 to Be
Taken Up Tomorrow for
Consideration.

Preparation of the Districts tenta-
tive budget for the 19281929 fiscal
wear will be started tomorrow by the
Commissioners. Daily meetings prob.
ably will be held until the task is COM
pleted.
The appropriation requests of the
department heads, calling for S3O,762,-
SAB, will be used by the Commissioners
as a basis for formulating the budget.
although this figure will be reduced
materially. While the total of the
tentative budget has not yet been
determined, it is not likely to exceed
s42. 900, 900. AS result, cuts will
have to be made in the appropria-
tons requested by virtually all of the
department heads.
Time Limit on Budget Report.
Brig. Gen. Herbert Lord. AIn>sSSor of
tho Bureau of the Budget, has given
the Commissioners until July Is to
submit their estimates. The Commits
sioners, however, aim to have the bud
get in his hands before that time.
The pruning of the estimates of the
department heads. the Commissioners
have indicated, will be done as far as
mendatiOns of the Citizens Advisory
Council. the Washington Board of
Trade, the Chamber of Commerce and
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, which were given copies
of the appropriation requests of the
department heads for study. The
Board of Trade submitted its recon-
mendation today. and the council is
planning to meet tomorrow night to
frame it's report for the Commits
Sioners.
The council, at the outset of it's con-
sideration of the budget estimates OF
the department heads, adopted tenta-
lively as it's recommendation. budget
of approximately s41 100000, p~adi.
Gated on a tax rate of $3.50 on $16t Of
assessed valuation on real and personal
property.
Report Supposed Unchanged.
Whether any change has been made
in this tentative recommendation, the
council has not yet revealed.
Before framing the budget for the
1928-1929 fiscal year the Commission.
ers had planned to fix a tax levy for
the coming fiscal year beginning July
1, but a delay on the part of Auditor
Daniel J. Donovan in making his
recommendation for tax rate has
necessarily caused action to be de-
ferred.
The auditor has promised to submit
his recommendation for the considera-
ton of the Board of Commissioners at
their semi-weekly meeting Friday
morning. According to reliable reports
a rate of S1.75, a reduction of cents
under the levy for the current fiscal
year, will be recommended.

taking off from Calshot, he will fly to
Valentia, Ireland, refuel, and hop Off
for Newfoundland. He will stop at
Newfoundland long enough to fill his
gas tanks and then proceed to New
York. He expects to remain in New
York three or four days only, no long
err than will the commercial transat'
lantic air liners of the future, then re-
turn to Newfoundland and back to
Southampton without further stop.
The commander of the British trans
atlantic flight is one Of the most com
manding figures in the air world. He
learned to fly before the World War.
He is credited with having more flying
hours than any cotemporary English
air man. Sir Seton Brancker, air
minister, has classed him as second
only to Sir Alan Gotham, the British
ace. During the war he served with
distinction, establishing a reputation
for daring and high character. Once
when determined to get published the
fact that a certain type of plane being
sent to the British war pilots was kill
ing more men than the Germans, he
tried fruitlessly to get himself court
martialed. A militry tril would
have given him the opportunity to
speak. In spite of his best efforts,
which fell short only of bodily assault,
no superior officer ever put him under
arrest.
Tested Dangerous Planes.
Since the war he has attracted wide
spread attention as test pilot, par
ticularly for his ability to handle deli
cate and untried machines. He flew
the Cierva Autogyro windmill plane,
once deliberately risking his neck to
prove that the vanes on one machine
were structurally weak.
They'll come off" he told his asSo-
ciates. They scoffed at the idea. I'll
show you," he said. Hopping into the
machine, he took it off and was
maneuvering 1t, when the Mortified
spectators saw it crash. The ambu-
lance streaked to the spot where 1t
landed, Out Of the wreckage came
Courtney unscatched.
There" he said triunlphantly. Il
told you those vanes would come Off. ;"
Capt. Courtney is 33 years old and
married. English airmen look upon
him as a flyer pre-eminently equipped
to regain a measure Of Britain's lost
air prestige by accomplishing what
Lindbergh and Chamberlin have done,
this time over the more difficult west
ward course and back.

to havs Gov. Gen. Wood of the

the outskirts Of Pittsburgh today and
when the smoke of the battle had
cleared two of the bandits had been
shot and wounded seriously.
The justice, Albert T. Lerch Of AL.

bandits, travelling in a stolen automo-

attendant at Butler and escaped with
$500. Lerch went out into the road
