IS DUE THIS WEEK
Nearly $4,000, to
Pass Through Treasury
in Three Days.

8y the Associated Press.
Nearly two billion dollars will travel
the financial roads through the Treasur
this week and when the dust has settled
$3.50, ,000,00 of the amount will be
locked in Government Golfers.
In three days the various payments
into the Treasury will total 81, ,031, ,Ooo,-
600, while expenditures will amount to
S672,0O0, 900.
The immense business of those DAYS,
December Is, Is and IT, is due to the
December financing, collection of the
third quarters payment of income taxes,
payment of maturing obligations, re-
ceipt of war debt payments from for
eign governments and payment of inter-
est on the public debt
Government experts hope the final
income tax payments on 1929 incomes,
which were reduced l per cent, will
total $3.50, 100000.
Collections Drop OF.
This would bring the total collection
OF this sort of revenue for the fiscal
year to approximately $1,217,o0O 900,
and for the calendar year on 1929 in
comes to approximately $2,105, 600, 900.
The collections for the fiscal year to
date have dropped off $61 ,0O0, 900. as
compared with the same period last
year, to total of $657, ,000, 900.
Money coming into the Treasury in
addition to that from income taxes will
be 1923 100000 from the sale Of two
issues of Treasury certificates of in
debtedneSs and $123 900 900 from foreign
nations in payment on the principal
and interest on their war debts. OF the
war debt payments, $31 ,000, 900 is on
principal and must be devoted to re-
duction of the public debt, while
$92,00O,000 of interest can be used for
general expenditures.
On the outgoing side of the ledger
the Government has to meet $3.50, ,0O0,-
900 of certificates Of Indebtedness
9O,000,000 interest on the public debt
and S102 100000 in maturing Treasury
bills. The balance left from the fiscal
operations is expected to furnish funds
Tor operation of the Government until
next March, when the first payment of
income tax on 1880 incomes will be
received.
Certificates Interest Experts.
To the financial experts. the most
interesting part of the weeks operations
was afforded through the sale of the
S428,000,000 of certificates of indebted
ness, which were offered at the lowest
rates such securities have ever borne.
A six-month issue for $l59, 900 600.
bearing 134 per cent interest, was over
subscribed about six times, while the
12-month issue for 1858 900 900, bear
ing rs per cent interest, was over
subscribed twice.
The response to the offering was
pointed to as indicating that investors
favor the shorter term investments in
hope that improvements in business
conditions would bring a higher rate of
interest in less than a year.

Industrial Leaders to
Show Benefits.

Business men in many industries are
planning to spend $10,000,000 In the
next four years in q Stupendous effort
to carry to the American people through
modern advertising a convincing mes
sage Of the economic benefits Of ma
tional prohibition.
While leaders OF temperance organ
izations canvass suggestions for unifed
activity in the 1892 presidential elec-
ton, manufacturers and other employ
ers OF thousands of men and women
are quietly carrying on an educational
campaign unparalleled in the IL years

YANKEE STADIUM, New York, De-
cember 13.-The greatest show foot ball
has to offer was piled into the Yankee
Stadium this afternoon for the relief
of the needy. And it earned upward
Of 100000. The Army beat the Navy
s to before 10000 spectators who
paid SIS to $50 a seat for the aid of the
Salvation Army relief fund.
1t was the highest price scale in the
annals of the game, and the gate re-
ceipts of three-fifths of million dol
lars nudged the record set by the same
two teams four years ago when they
met in larger Soldiers Field in Chicago.
The multitude which braved a bright
but bitter December day to see the re-
newal of the classic clash between the
Nations military and naval academies
truly gave twice. They gave a hand
some sum for the benefit Of the un-
employed, which will be augmented by
thousands Of dollars when donations
from radio listeners and others are
totaled. and they gave themselves a
rich thrill of sport and spectacle.
They pulsed in quick-step time to
upon 5000 cadets and midShipmen
who paraded into the stadium Just after
noon and kept it alive and ringing un-
til dusk with songs and yells and
marching and assorted antics.
Army and Navy Heads Present.
They craned their necks to see dozens
OF notable figures out of the pages of
state craft and social register-chiet
among them Secretary of War Patrick
j. Hurley and Secretary of the Navy
Charles Francis Adams, who came from
Washington with parties of friends and
colleagues TO witness the event.
Another honored guest was Evangeline
Booth, commander of the Salvation
Army, seeing her first foot ball game.
She expressed her gratitude to those
who enabled the game to be played for
the benefit of the Salvation Army,
promised that the spending of the fund
would be regarded 'aS a privilege only
equaled by its great responsibility,
and asked a blessing upon every hand
and heart that has contributed to this
unprecedented charity"
The student corps from West Point
and Annapolis, one in its braSS-buttoned
gray and the other in dark blue crowned
by caps of white, outdid themselves to
amuse and amaze the 10000. The
show they put on was climaxed between
the halves when the midshipmen got
out colored cards and made the great
