BUDGET CUTS
TO Be FELT BY
C|TY'S FORCES
Departments to Operate
Under Restraint, Study
Shows Observers.

Curtailment of practically every
department of city government will
result from the l cent slash in the
1882 city tax levy, a study of de-
partmental budgets showed today.
Cuts aggregating $545,00 will be
1elt by a majority of Offices, al
though personnel is not affected in
the majority of cases.
The city's budget is in the hands
OF city councilmen after being sub
mitted Monday night by Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan.
Special session of the council
probably will be called next week.
with the possible end of clipping
still more from budgets of some de-
partments, it was indicated.
Police to Feel Cuts
Cuts affecting personnel were felt
chiefly by the police department
where salaries of police women were
pared total of $4,000. Minor
salary reductions will touch prac-
tically every major department,
heads indicated today.
The 1-cent cut WIS made despite
decrease in valuation of taxable
property representing a revenue of
$4,000.
General retrenchment in operat-
ing expenses of city parks will re-
suit from the pairing of approx
mately $4,000 from the park board
budget, A. c. Sallee, park superin-
tendent, indicated.
Sallee stated that contemplated
expansion in the department pos
sibly will be delayed for at least two
years. He said salary appropria-
tons were pared to the bone and
that funds for hiring of labor were
cut drastically.
Work Not Hampered
Sallee said the cutting, however.
will not interfere seriously with the
maintenance work of the depart
ment, as arrangements have been
made with the made-work commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce
to utilize that labor in the parks.
w. H. Winship, street commits
sioner, indicated the $4,000 cut in
that departments budget will not
hamper operations seriously.
Cuts aggregating $128,O46 were
recommended by the works board,
touching practically every function
of the department, members indi-
Gated.
Other major cuts in the city bud
get areas follows:
Sanitary board, $4,000; building
department, $4,000; fire department,
$16,l57; police Gamewell depart
ment, $9,754; engineers office, ST.
600; weights and measures office,
$1,000; recreation department, ST.
400; department of public health,
$4,000, and the municipal garage,

Sunday morning Betty arose

to grant Clyde E. Pangborn and

tors, permission to attempt a flight

1t was contended that if the pilots
were Japanese their licenses would

Russia.
Representatives of the f1iers, in
urging that the permission be given,
asserted that payment of $4,000

MORE SEAL SALES
URGED IN CAPITAL
Only $4,000 Realized in
Annual Drive Against
Tuberculosis.

A plea for more extensive buying Of
Christmas seals was made yesterday by
Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, president of the
Washington tuberculosis Association,
who said only $4,000 has been raised
from sale Of the seals this year.
With only four more shopping days
remaining until Christmas, Mrs. Grant
stressed the urgent need of raising $50,-
900 to develop the more important fea-
lures Of the associations 1882 program.
Mrs. Grant said the association is
badly in need of funds to continue,
among other things, its Summer camp
service and occupational therapy work
for patients at the tuberculosis Hos
pital.
Copeland Stresses Danger.
In a recent radio address Senator
Royal S. Copeland of New York said a
dangerous emergency exists in the long
and partially successful campaign to
conquer tuberculosis He emphasized
particularly the increased danger re-
sulting from the economic depression.
I'VE have had a period of economic
prosperity in America" he said, Co
inciding with Improvements in condi-
tions as regards tuberculosis. With bet
ter living conditions, the disease has
been decreasing.
When people huddle around a stove,
whole family sitting in one room, you
have all the makingS for the spread of
tuberculosis. How many men. women
and children are going to do that this
Winter? Millions Of them! We haven't
enything very con comfortable to look
forward to in 1882. Unemployment,
worry, unrest, hunger, disease. death
these are the steps sure to mark the
progress Of disaster unless we overcome
the economic depression facing us to-
night.
Warns of Dire consequences.
I'VE admit that unemployment and
unhappiness are here. But have we
permitted our minds to run on to the
logical outcome of the situation? If
we have actually taken the long view,
We have vlsualized robbery, rioting, and
Il hate to use the Word-reVolution
Twenty-Five years ago every seventh
funeral was that Of conSumptive.
Today, as the result Of we'll directed
efforts, tuberculosis has become one of
the minor causes of disease and death.
The essentials in Wiping out this
are the food and shelter that go with
high standards of living. If We permit
skin1p on food, to lessen the milk supply
of the children, and to take less than
their own fair quota. tuberculosis will
thrive as it did in the Sums Of a gen.
Grafton ago.
Even PalatiaI Homes Periled.
1.-THE palatial homes are in danger
when tuberculosis and other diseases
of undernouriShment thrive in the
tenements. Through the servants,
clerks in stores and Offices, and other
contacts Of life, the germs of disease
which thrive in poverty are carried to
the children of the rich. Nobody is
safe unless all are safe.
Money must be supplied in generous
amounts, to the end that there shall be
no needless deaths from a preventable
disease. Every man, woman and child
In America has a direct, personal,
selfish interest in this matter. Let us

rifice to end the ravages OF dread tuber-
Culosis.

night the first successful ccmmer- cial incandescent lamp had been created. He had been watching . lamp test for weeks and for over a year he had been tinkering away with Edison and others on this great invention:
 The year Edison was born two inventors Gardner ana Blossom took out patents on an incandes- cent lamp. Before that two Ameri- cans had showed Michael Faraday, the celebrated English physicist. a candelabra of 26 lights, each rep- resenting a state of the Union.
 But though incandescence had been studied for many years before Edison decided to make his lamp. all such products were useless for commercial purposes. .,
 Not only was the platinum used expensive, but 1t was a poor con- ductor. It could stand but little voltage without melting. And through it the current shot too rapidly. What was needed to per feet the 'incandescent lamp was to secure a filament inexpensive, of high resistance to current so that more light would be given off in the passage of the current, and capable of standing high voltage without melting or breaking down. Platinum failed on all these tests,
 S
 Edison began working on the in- candescent lamp in 1878. In that year he attended the transit of Venus Expedition in, the west. He had gone there to attempt the measurement of the heat of the star Arcturus, which is at one of the farthest points in the heavens. To do this he had devised what he called a "tasimeter." This consist ed of a piece of carbon mounted in such 8 way as to be tremendously susceptible to heat. The tests did not turn out very well, but, on the expedition, he fell in with some of the leading scientists of the nation. On the way back they suggested they all go and see "old man Wal lace's laboratory in Connecticut"
 William Wallace was one of the pioneer figures in electricity in the nation. He had a wonderfully well-equipped laboratory. So they went to see Wallace.
 It was here that Edison was greatly stimulated in his ideas on incandescence. -'v.
 Wallace was pottering away on arc lights trying to improve them.
 "Wallace,' said Edison. 'I be- lieve I can beat you making an electric light. think you are working in the wrong direction"
 Edison went back to Menlo Park and in 1879 the world was greatly startled to hear that Edison had solved the problem of the subdivi- sion of the electric light by incan- descence. But the problem was still unsolved. The experiment of 1879 was simply one step to the final step. But the final step did not come until a year later.
