MOVIE ACTRESS
To GET RICHES

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. / U.S0,
Until a few days ago, Florence
Lawrence, screen star of motion
pictures infant days, was just
another veteran forced by neces-
sity to attempt q comeback.
Now, she is the potential pos
SCISSOR of at least $8,O00,000 by
virtue of a patent, issued to her
late mother IL years ago. 1t had
reposed in a dusty safe as "just
another piece of paper"
That patent is believed to be
the basic letters patent for all
automatic windshield wipers used
on motor cars.
Left practically no money by
her mother, Miss Lawrence last
week chanced to show some Of
her mothers papers to Dan s.
Berns, prolific inventor. He
gasped when he saw this partic'
uar document, anC said:
That's q basic patent. 1t
covers every automatic wind
shield wiper ever made"
Berns took the patent to At
torney Joseph M. Wapner, who
corroborated the authenticity OF
the document and started an in
vestigation at Washington which
resulted in establishment Of the
paper as a "baSic patent"

of the cost of operating Freed

The message states:
"The Commissioners of the
District of Columbia believe
that approximately S1,5O0,O00
will be required to commence
construction work and they are
reserving that amount from the
estimated revenues of the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
Special Case
"In considering the amount
available for appropriation for
the District Of Columbia this
amount has been withheld from
the estimates Of 1892 solely
with . view to later presents

Il mention this so as to pre-
vent any possible misunder-
standing that the omission of

PARK UNIT ASKS
S5,595,685

A budget Of $5,595,6S5 for the
office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks is contained In the
estimates submitted to Congress
today.
This Is an increase Of nearly
$I,200,000 over the current appro-
priations. and the following items
show why additional funds are
required:
For personnel due to the acqui-
sition of the new Department OF
Commerce Building, $204. .060. in
volving an increase in force of
100; for proceeding with the con-
struction Of the general supply
warehouse, $1,310,O00: for the
construction Of roads in the Mall
in the vicinity Of Federal build
.ings, 100000.
The Public Buildings Commits
sion asks for $125, 900 for the
coming fiscal year, a Jump of
$4,000 from its current appro-
priation.
The Supreme Court Building
Commission is given a budget of
$4,250,000 to start construction of
the new building on the east side
Of the Capitol plaza.
The Smithsonian Institution
carries an estimate of $1,212,924
for 1882, virtually the same as
for the current year.
The Washington times., 1930-12-03

The Board OF Public Welfare is
, granted a total OF $5,64S,331 for
its functions In the coming fiscal
year, as contrasted with its total
Of IS, 137, BAT for the current year.
The increase of $445,744 is &C
counted for by the following way:
An additional $58,750 is pro-
posed for the workhouse and re-
formatory to provide additional
employees, food. ETC.. for the in
creased population expected at
these institutions in 1889, where
the completion Of additional hous-
ing facilities now under construc-
tion will enable it to care for q
large number of District Of Co
1umbia prisoners now in Federal
penitentiarieS.
MORE NURSES
To provide for promotions,
three additional nurses, etc., an
increase Of $21, 900 is submitted.

While the budget submitted to,
Congress today does not carry any
specific estimate for continuing
work on the municipal center, the
sum of $1,5o0,0O0 of the estimated
revenues of the District is specific
ally reserved for this purpose and
recommendations for its appro-
priation will be made later.
LAND is ACQUIRED
The 1881 budget contained an
estimate of $3,000,0 for the pur-
chase of land for the center and
$65, 900 for preparation Of plans
and designs Of buildings.
These amounts were appropri-
ated and are being spent during
the current year, most Of the
money for purchase having al
ready been spent, the land neces.
Sary having been largely acquired.

that no estimate is included for

POLICE BUDGET I
. SHOWS JUMP
OuuS y ~

The Police Department budget
sent to Congress today for the
District shows a jump Of from
$3,174,s20 in the current fiscal
year to $3,493, ,22o for 1882.
The increases in the estimates
are chiefly due to the increased
salaries for the rank and file OF
the force authorized by Congress
last June. $277,000 is provided
for this purpose, and $52,94o for
automatic promotions.
$4,000 for Repairs
There is $1,000 provided for re.
pairs to station houses and
$4,62O for clerical promotions and
the employment Of two automo-
bile drivers.
In the fire department there is
$2,5S4,030 allotted, as compared
with $2,253, $40 for the current
year. This jump also is due TO
the salary advances duCI1OG410O OS
Congress, these increases calling
for an additional $234 500; $685.
