COUNCIL MEETS
TONIGHT To CUT
BUDGET FIGURES
Three Items Singled Out as
Too High; Hope to
Pare $1.10 Rate.

Various city department heads will
explain to members of the city
council why items contained in the
proposed 1881 budget affecting their
departments should not be reduced
it was announced today.
The council will meet as a COM
nittee of the whole tonight. Wednes-
day night and three nights next
week to consider each item, to re-
duce, if possible, the proposed sl.lO
levy. recommended in the budget
presented to the council Monday
night.
Three points of attack which have
been indicated are: Increase OF the
World war memorial bond fund levy
from 4 cent to IL cents; addition
of a $4,000 year assistant superin-
;endent at the municipal airport, and
the increase from "a cents to 10
cents for the public health levy.
The memorial tax boost Is advo-
Gated because the fund from which
the bond payments were financed
has been exhausted, but opponents
claim the figure is too high.
Opposition to the appointment OF
an assistant to the airport superin-
tendent has gained Roadway, as II
was learned that only five men now
are enjoyed at the field, and the
$4,000 to be paid the assistant and
the $4,000 paid the superintendent
total slightly less than one-thlro
the entire budget for the airport.
An increase of $43,S48.21 for the
city hospital is recommended N
order to take care of the upkeep OF
the 1874 additional beds, and 1t Is
indicated that thorough analysis
of the city hospital budget Will
be made.

NEW YORK. Aug. I9.-What do

about the effect Of alcohol on

T. Swami Harding, writer on

complete effort to answer this often
discussed question in American
Druggist magazine. He gathers re-
cent conclusions Of the foremost
American and European authorities
on the subject into a symposium.
Opinions are 50 diverse, he finds,
that the question still is an open
one: with slight evidence prepond-
Grating in favor Of the use Of alcohol
in moderation"
"Habitual use Of alcohol as an
aid 10 work seems rather certainly
10 be a mistake" he says, citing
tests made with clerical workers
which proved that even a small
quantity Of alcohol beverages re-
suit in impaired efficiency.
On the other hand, he produces
results Of a study by DR.. David L
Macht:
"Macht and his co-workers, in
tests OF alcohol. caffeine and nico-
tine. demonstrated tina, OF the three
substances the nicotine is by far the
most poisonous"
Other opinions:

holic beverages contribute greatly
to human happiness.
Lord Dawson of Penn, Physician
TO King GeOrge-Great Britain
would be foolish to follow Ameri-

GIVE JOBS AS CHRISTMAS
GIFTS, IS LESLIE'S PLEA
Governor Suggests Citizens Find Work About Home So
Unemployed May Have Money for Presents.

GIVE a job for Christmas" was
the idea advanced by Governor
Harry G. Leslie in addressing the
unemployment committee chaimen
from the ninety-two counties of the
state in conference at the state
house today.
AS further contribution toward
providing work, Leslie suggested that
the Sunday before Christmas every
citizen, who is well provided for,
should search for odd jobs to do
about the home, yard or garage and
then get man out Of work to do it
before Christmas.
This, he pointed out, will give
many persons Christmas money who
otherwise would have to accept
charity. He emphasized the i'm
portance of permitting parents to
buy gifts for their children with
money earned in this manner,
rather than merely accepting them
without working and with none Of
the joy of making purchases.
The meeting was called by Elmer
Stout, chairman of the state unem-
ployment executive committee, for
the purpose of exchanging ideas re-
garding job creation and SO that
the counties more advanced on the
work making program can give
stimulation to those who lag.
{ Stout explained that in Marion
county a jobs bureau has been
opened at the Chamber of Com
merce and is aiding greatly in pro-
viding work for the unemployed
here.

MAYR MOVE IS SEEN AS
CHALLENGE TO GOVERNOR
Secretary of State May Ride Over Leslie Desires in
Appointment of Criminal Probe Superintendent

Despite the desire of Governor
Harry G. Leslie to retain his fell
low townSman, E. L. Osborne of La
fayette, as superintendent of the
bureau of criminal investigation,
Democrat who can qualify for the
post will be appointed, declared
Frank Mayr Jr., new secretary of
state, today.
If any member of my party can
qualify and is properly recommend
ed and meets with the approval of
bankers of the state, I will appoint
him." said Mayr
The statement is viewed as a
challenge to the Governor, who is
anxious that Osborne be retained.
Leslie recommended Osborne to
Otto C. Fifield, secretary of state in
1929, and the Lafayette man was
appointed to the position.
Although appropriation for the
superintendent salary is but $1,000
year, Leslie added $500 from his
contingency fund.
If Mayr attempts to appoint a
Democrat. it will bring about trial
of strength as the 1927 statute Gre
ating the crime-probing department
specifically states:
THE superintendent shall be
appointed by the secretary of state.
