force
Capt. Carlos Van I1eer, chairman
of the board. said today that action
on appeals for reclassitication of
Government positions may be de-
layed slightly during the summer
as a result OF the loss.
McCarl has agreed, Van Leer said,
to wait until Congress has an op.
portunity to pass on requests for a
permanent force for the board be
fore he. demands that his ruling be
obeyed.
The board now is authorized to
draw its force from the Civil Service
Commission, the Bureau of Eff.
cheney and the Bureau of Budget.
The work has increased so greatly,
however, that these departments
have not been able to supply all OF
the workers needed and the board
had been borrowing employees from
other departments.
The 20 who leave are those whose
home offices have asked to return.
other departments will allow their
employees to remain as long as Nc
Carl does not cut off their salaries.
McCarl says he won't do that for

PATRIOTS IN ITALY
GROW SQUARE Boards
Gen. Bilbo, Minister for Aviation,
Sets Style Which Nation
sa Adopts.

Gen. Italo Balloo, italian minister for
aviation, will be remembered in Italy
long after his political and official army
activities have been forgotten. Perhaps
his most striking accomplishment has
been to re-establish the old-fashioned
chin beard as a stylish appendage for
Italian males of all ages and occupa-
tons. The generals beard is designed
on the lines of those which grand
fathers of present-day Americans once
delighted in pulling as they counted
up the weekly egg money or haggled
over politics in the general store. All
of the face, except for the chin, is
clean-shaven, and the brushlike tuft Of
hair under the mouth is trimmed on
square lines. Whereas such boards are
seen in America only in the most OUT
of-the-way four-corner communities to
the accompaniment of overalls and
straw hats, they are now to be seen
In Italy worn by the most stylish and
dapper gentlemen. In addition to be-
ing an excuse for showing that you
really can grow a beard, such an affair
on the face is to be taken as indication
of patriotism, inasmuch as Gen. Balbo
is one of Pascism's most fiery leaders.
Moreover, this style is an excellent
thing for the BARRIERS, who make three
or four lire every time they trim such
a beard.

Mother Is Proud.
Mrs. Hanson, who Is now residing at
1901 Florida street, Chevy Chase, Md,
tells you proudly that Malcolm has
been a perfect son. Not only has he
been very good baby, but he has al
ready given evidences Of a scientific
mind. II have to watch him all the
time" said Mrs. Hanson, Ito see that
he doesn't harm the radio. The other
day came into the dining ROOM where
the radio is attached to a floor plug,
and Malcolm had pulled out the wire,
broken it apart and was examining it
with keenest interest"
why, even when he was tiny baby,
several months ago, could always make
him stop crying by rolling his carriage
close to the radio to listen to the broad
casting"
Malcolm already has received his own
personal radio from mis- father. Last
week a message arrived from the South
Pole addressed to Master H. P. Han
son, jr. 1t read as follows:
You bet daddy love you. Be little
man and take care yourself and your
mother till my return. Hug and kisses
for you both. Daddy"

ISCUT S111,0DO,0(O
First Hoover Schedule, How
ever, $15s, 900, 900 Greater
Than Coolidge Expenditures.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Hoover administration has drawn
up its first budget and plans an ex-
penditure of $3.50, 100000 in the fiscal
year Of 1891, total of Sill, zoo, 0oc
less than that appropriated by Con.
gress for disbursement in the corre-
spending fiscal period ending next
June.
The figure, however. Is ,$158,000, 900
greater than the budget submitted by
the Coolidge administration for the
present fiscal year. This called for an
expenditure of S3,672 900 900, and to
this was added nearly 100000 in
deficiency appropriations.
Neither the amount appropriated for
this year nor that planned for the next
however, includes appropriations for the
Federal Farm Board. which this year
has been given $l50,000,000 by Con-
gress to finance its activities. Its needs
for the year ending in 1881 have not
yet been ascertained.
The new budget contemplates an ad-
ditional appropriation of $10,000,0OO
for inland waterway development,
subject of great interest to President
Hoover, and full continuation Of the
flve-year program for the development
Of the Army Air Corps. -
The additional $10,000,000 for water
ways includes $5,000,000 to be devoted
to actual waterway improvement and a
like amount for continuation Of food
control work in the Mississippi Valley.
In addition, about $50o0.o00 will be
available for waterway improvement, as
the Ohio River development program
was completed at cost approximately
that much less than had been provided
for that program.
The year will be the last of the Air
Corps development program. This prof.
ect has Jagged somewhat in the past
year, but for 1881 a full years work Is
planned and. II Congress approves, that
which has been left undone will be
completed in the fiscal year ending in
1892
