U. s. GIRLS SEEK
 JOBS ENTRANCE

Paris-According to Leo J. Ken na, of the United States consulate general in Paris, American girls are exhibiting Q greater spirit or adventure than American boys in seeking to secure full or part-time jobs in the Frensch capital.
 "They all seem to think" said Kenna, "that life is unusually glamorous here and that work is easy to find. They are all motivat- ed by spirit of adventure. and many of them want to leave their good jobs at home and come over here on the faintest prospect of getting something to do. The de- plorable truth, in most cases, IS that the young fomen have just enough money for a one-Way ticket"
 As fast as these letters pour into the merican consulate-and they are increasing every day-they are answered courteously but firmly, stating that getting work of this kind is practically an impossibility. The labor office here has shut the lid down tight, giving what em- ployment is to be offered to their own out -of-work citizens first. Later, of theer aer extra jobs to spare, they will loosen the rigidity of the present ruling.
 "Since April l." continued Ken na, T have received letters from more than eighty localities, rang ing from rural towns to the larg- est cities in the United States, and the same is true of the consulate offices in London, Berlin, Rome and other European capitals. In fairness to these people, the ma jority of whom are girls and wo- men, we make a desperate effort to discourage them."

Washington. (UP)-Creation of a new division of the government is being suggested as a means of protecting the public from adver- Using which contains more im- agination than truth.
 At preesnt there is NO uniform regulation of the great volume of sales talks that pour out over the air in radio broadcasts, or compete for attention from billboards, magazines and newspapers.
 The food and drug administra- ton can keep manufacturer from claiming too much for his product on the label, but has no Jurisdiction over advertising. Oc- casionally the federal trade com- mission calls a halt to some par ticularly fragrant distortion of facts. But for the most part a copy writer can go about as far as he pleases in his boasts to the public.
 Several Efforts Made
 Several efforts have been made to give the food and drug admin power to make advertise ing conform to the same regula- tions that apply to labels. w. c. Campbell, chief of the administra- ton, believes something eventually will have to be done about 1t. But he does not approve any pattern aylistic" methods or anything bor- dering on censorship.

 Truth In Ads
Creation of New Governmental Division Is Suggested
 to Protect Public

"The final responsibility" Camp bell said, should rest with the consumer. We are trying to edu- cate the public to read the labels. They are the consumers safeguard and as much as we can do at pres ent.
 "There is no doubt that in this day of high-powered advertising the ad sells the product. Eventu- ally something will have to be done about 1t. I am not in favor of setting up a censorship, or de- priying the consumer of his right to exercise his own Judgment by investigations and comparisons.
 Question Bureau
 "A solution would be the crea- ton of new bureau in the de- partment of agriculture organized to answer all questions about the claims made by advertisers and to give the exact medicinal or food value of any product in dispute
 Campbell said that many pub fishers who desire to keep the standard of their advertisements at the highest now consult with the department. The department is not organized, however, to ham dlc any great amount of this work, he said.

FAMED CONVENT
 MAY BE RUINED

Paris -UP)-One of the great-' est French monuments is crumbling in ruin, and unless something is done before long, visitors to the Grande Chartreuse. near Grenoble, will look upon a heap of stone and shattered bits of historic glass, where d. great convent once stood.
 The limited government budget for repairs to monuments has been used until the demands exceed the fund.
 This landmark was the original Cathusian monastery, founded by St Bruno In 1884, and is situated in the French department of 1sere. IA miles from Grenoble, in a wild and romantic valley 4268 feet above the sea level. The convent Is a huge and ungainly structure, dating mostly from the 17th century, ear Her buildings having been destroy ed by fire. The monks, who long manufactured famous green vel low or white liqueur from various herbs, had at one time considerable property. but they were despoiled by the revolution, being exiled from 1793 until 1916. and in November of 1880 they declined to accept 1n- dulgences from the decrees for the expulsion of the religious orders.
 The rigorous application, after 1902, of the laws against the un- authorized orders evicted them.
 The Grande Chartreuse was not classified as an historic monument until 1912, when M. Barthe, a so- cialist deputy, declared that, "A stupid administration is ruining a jewel which ought to enrich the na- tional patrimony. It is crime against the nation." The chapel of the Corderie had been stripped of It's beautiful carved woodwork and turned into a pig pen. and the cem- etery of the monks had become a pasture for calves.
 Steps have been taken to repair but the amount of money necessary Is estimated at $14,000 year.

 Northland college, at Ashland Wisconsin, is one of the most strat- egic outposts of our Congregation- al Missionary service. It s,anuS alone, the only college or nperai arts, in the greatest untouched neIa remaining in America. Consrega- tional Missionary endeavor mas prompted this mighty Empire or the North" and Northland IS meet ling this challenge and giving the only opportunity available TOT coiiepe education to the children of the stalwart immigrant settlers of the north, Only four of the lboarding students of last year had financial backing to meet the years expenses. All the rest have had to earn everything as they carried their college course.
 Dr. Ozora s. Davis some time ago made the following statement con- cerning Northland:
 "To-day, in point of range and need of the field 1t serves. high ideals of scholarship and charac- lter formation going hand in hand, and temper and devotion Of teach

6. 1000 ILL|TERATES IN WATERBURY
BUILDING PERMITS
 ISSUED IN JUNE
Nearly Double the Number and Value of Figures
 for May
SIX MONTHS SURVEY

Building permits isued by cities and towns in Connecticut during the month of June were not only al- most double the value of those granted in May, but exceeded by close to half million dollars the permits of June, 1890, according to the monthly survey conducted by the Freight Traffic Department of the New Haven Railroad. It was the first time this year that the to- tai valuation of the permits issued in any one month exceeded those of the corresponding month of last year.
 The railroads survey which cov- CTS twenty-three communities shows a total valuation for the June permits of close to six million dollars as compared with slightly more than three million in May and somewhat less than five and half million in June, 1880.
 The June gains were not as wide spread as it might be assumed from the large increase. They were limited to ten of the twenty-three cities and towns and for the most part were concentrated in Hart ford and New Haven. The former showed an extraordinary large per- init valuation of $2,804,459 with the Elm City second and Bridge port third.
 Increases over their May figures were recorded by Bridgeport, Dan- bury, Greenwich, Hartford, Mid- dletown, Naugatuck. New Haven, Norwalk, Norwich and Waterbury. The gain over June, 1880, was made by seven communities. They were Bridgeport, Danbury, Hart ford, Middletown. New Haven, Nor walk and Stratford.
 Figures for the first six months of 1891 reveal a loss of approxi- mately six and one-half million dol lars in building permits as com- pared with the corresponding per- iod of 1880.

Local Motorists
 Flock To Canada
Mayor and Registrars Besieged With Requests for
 Letters of Identification

Canada, and it's numerous attrac- tions, is evidentally a country of decided interest. This is apparent in the number of Waterburians who are making the trip, many of them requesting letters of identifi- cation from the office of the mayor and from the registrars office, while some even carry their personal tax bill stubs. From the office of the mayor and registrar alone. 15 to 20 letters are issued daily-about 1000 in the last few months.
 At first, the offices were flooded with appeals for letters from French residents of Waterbury, who partly to avoid the serious results

Safety Fuel Is French Development Means New Era in Flying Eliminating Danger of
 Fire
Just Won't Ignite

In a public demonstration of the n-inflammability of the Terrier fuel, Bardel dipped his hand in a tank of 1t andethen passed his wet hand through the flames of a forge in the workshop. The effect was exactly as though it were water
 A lighted match was held over the surface of an open tin con- taining the gasoline and it did not ignite. Some of the gasoline was poured on the floor and lighted match thrown upon 1t, but the match burned simply as a. small wick. When more fuel was poured, the match was quenched.
 Attempts to set fire to the gaso- line by the spark of an electric starter failed. Similar experiments with ordinary gasoline caused ex- plosive flames
 In another test an iron rod was made red hot, to resemble the eX- haust pipe of an airplane engine under full power. and then the rod was plunged at that degree of heat into a pail of the safety fuel. The rod simply sizZled as 1t would If 1t were put in water.
 Try Both Kinds of Fuel
 Observers were amazed and con- vinced that the Terrier fuel had been brought to perfection when they saw q Goliath take off as smoothly as ever with one engine running on ordinary gasoline and the other on the Safety gas"
 According to Bardel, the princi- pie of the new gasoline is that through successive Installations of heavy petrol a. liquid is formed with and extremely high flash point Being only slightly volatile 1t is not introduced In the cylin- ders of the engine In a gaseous state, but in a diffused mist which vaporizes with the compression o1 the pistons. :,
 The fuel Is the color of red ink and Is just as practical in motoring as in aviation.
 Both Terrier, who did notable work in the French artillery ser. vice during the war, and Barde say that they want aviation tho world over to benefit by their dis cevcry so that death by fire migh' be eliminated.

Paris Rigorous tests during flights with ordinary aviation mo- tors have proved that non-in- flammable gasoline has at last been perfected here.
 The new fuel eliminates the dan- ger of fire, either in the air or as the result of q crash on the ground. It is being hearalded as one of the most important discov- cries for safety in the history of flying
 The fuel has been developed by two young Frenchmen. Roaul Fer Tier, q government engineer, and Henri Bardel, director of the Air Union Aviation Company, which Is the leading commercial flying or ganization in France.
 IL Is made by q special treat ment of the white spirit distilled from crude oil. It has the same potentialities as ordinary gasoline, except that 1t does not explode un- der the usual tests. IL can be pro duced at a cost slightly lower than ordinary gasoline.
 Among the advantages of this safety gas' Is that 1t can be used In any gasoline motor by an ad- justmcnt of the carburetor. The Air Union is planning to use it ex- clusively as soon as the special carburetors have been manufac- turcd.
 Starts New Flying Era
 "This gasoline means d new era in flying" explained Bardel. Tt eliminates tha. danger which the best of flying men fear-fire. It's non-inflammability Is high and in the event of a crash which breaks q tank under pressure, 1t will not burn"
 Experiments with the new gaso- line have been going on for three months. IL has passed every test. A heavy Goliath passenger plane or the Air Union made eight flights from Paris to London and return with the Terrier fuel, as 1t !" called. Before taking off the fuel was placed in sealed tanks which were inspected by French authori- ties and again inspected by Eng fish officials upon arrival at Croy- don.
 It was also tried out on eight different motors for 226 hours on the ground and 34 hours while In flight, and every test was com plete success.

of the depression and to visit friends and relatives for indefinite periods in Canada, found the trip very desirable.
 Now, however, the vacationists are finding the motor trip one of enjoyment and at the end of the trail plenty of fun"
 At any rate, this summer finds the Canadian trip one that is very popular. The dominion is not too far for a motor ride and yet far enough for an entirely new change of scenery.

Budget Total.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY,

President Hoover transmitted to
Congress today his budget mes
sage, placing the total expendi-
lures for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1888, at $500, ,s72,45O, as
compared with $4,361, ,839,8oo for
the current fiscal year.
Based On estimated receipts of
$2,576, $3.50, ,202, compared with re-
ceipts of 50, ,238, ,S78 800 for the cur
rent year, this budget anticipates
an excess Of expenditures over re-
ceipts Of $l,416, ,949, ,448, in spite of
an estimated increase of more
than $685., 100000 in receipts for
next year, an estimated reduction
in expenditures Of more than
$685., ,000, 900 and an excess Of trust
fund receipts over trust fund ex-
pendNures OF $3,192, 800.
How this estimated deficiency would
be met by the two-year emergency tax
program referred to In his message to
Congress yesterday was explained In
detail by the President, who recon-
a
definite limited period upon the general
the revenue act Of 1924, with such
changes ss may be appropriate in the
light Of altered conditions" He ad-
vises that this increase shall be def
nitely terminated in two years from
next July"
Relief View Held.
Such q program, he emphasized, has
the advantage that the Government Is
equipped by experience with similar
legislation for its systematic. and eco
nomic collection" and that 1T win
allow taxpayers to look forward to def
mite relief"
The President also called upon Con-
gress to Inquire into the economic e.
feet OF the provisions of the present law
relating to capital gains and Losses"
The budget submitted shows consid-
cradle decreases for practically all
branches OF the Government service.
Conspicuous among the increases are
approximately sI25 ,oo0, 900 for the Vet
erans' Administration, but the President
points out that 1t is now known that
additional appropriations will be re-
quired for the current fiscal year Of
about $3.50 ,000, 600, OF which 5000 ,0O0.-
600 Is to meet obligations due to In
creased loan value Of adjusted service
certincates, so that the 3125, ,000, 900 in
crease In the budget becomes q net de-
crease OF approximately SI35, ,000, 900.
Increase for Treasury.
Another important increase Is an
proximately s25 100000 for the Treas
ury Department, which h due to an
increase Of $4,000, 900 In the public
buildings program, Offset by q decrease
OF some s26,00o,0 900 in the, refund OF
internal revenue taxes erroneously coll
lected.
