I'm glad I'm not Congressman"
Said Miggleton MCGEE.

Is quite enough for me.

Just when for work he's due.
He dares not falter or be slow.
His joys are very few.

When he has shown his skill,
They say, Reel off another yard;
There's yet more time to KIN!
DE man dat means every word he
says" remarked Uncle Eben, com
mands respect; but de man dat says
every word he means talks TOO much

The march of various dele
cations and representatives Of

preparations subcommittee Of
the House considering the Dis
trict supply bill was in vain
and their pleadings for addi-
tional items were ignored, it
was learned today.
The appropriations bill will be
reported out without and increase
or additional items that were not
recommended by the Budget Bu-
reau in it's recommendations for
a $47,000,0O0 supply bill, accord
ing to reports.
Stadium Fund Ignored
The request for 100000 for
Roosevelt High School stadium
and the pleas for additional
school facilities weer in vain, a
member of the subcommittee
said.
Although no addiptional items
will be considered, the committe,
which has concluded its hear
ings, does not plan, it was said,
to make any drastic reductions.
The only increases over the
1882 allowances contemplated by
the committe are where they
are absolutely essential"
Two instances of necessity
were cited. They are: the addi.
ton of 20 new school teachers
who will be added to the pay
roll to take care of the normal
increase of school enrolment, and
the employment of an additional
number Of guards at Lorton Re-
formatory.
