of items that are "too small" ever
to become the subject of public de-
bate in congress.
They show among other things:
That the American taxpayer
spends $57,633 year for each of
the SO U. S. senators and 44O rep
resentatives, a total of more than
$30,O00,000.
That the office of president with
the concomitant pomp and sur
roundings costs $1,650,O00 yearly.
That the taxpayers pay $780,
600 yearly to keep up appearances
of the White House and surround
ing grounds.
That the 81 members of the pres
ident's executive office staff are
paid an aggregate salary OF $l26,-
$50.
That taxpayers pay S226,O00
yearly SO their representatives in
congress don't have to pay their
own train fares.
That President Hoover's three
secretaries receive an aggregate
yearly salary of $4,000.
That the cost of the Capitol po-
| licing system is $188,050 yearly.
The average home owners wife
may be interested in knowing that
the cook who prepares the Hoover
dinners receives 1920 year, and
that his three assistants receive
$1,32O, $1,000 and s1.0S0.
And that the food eaten by the
Hoover servants and the Hoover
guests costs $16,248 yearly (the
president himself pays for the fam
lily meals).
The figures are taken from the
presidents budget for the current
fiscal year: his listed expenditures
for the year were s472,38O, an in
crease of $4,000 over 1881. His
1898 estimated expenditures will
cut $1,000 from the increase.
There are many cost items that
are not included in the presidents
executive office budget of $472-
$50 that add to the total the public
pays for the executives office.
For instance, there is no men
ton of the salary of the score or
more young naval and military at

White House social affairs and
ceremonies of state.
Their duties consist in escorting
lady guests to social functions and
receptions and dancing with the
daughters of distinguished visitors.
Their pay checks are drawn on the
army and navy budgets.
The $4,000 in salaries paid to
the personal bodyguards of the
president and his family is budget
ed under the heading 'suppressing
counterfeiting and other crimes
the official duty of the United
States Secret Service.
And the White House police, who

lawn, are paid $116,299 out of the
treasury budget.
Listed in the Executive office
budget is the presidents salary OF
$500 yearly and $4,000 to pay

penses. Those figures are fixed by

CONGRESS SESSION COSTS
THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS

With a presidential election In
the offing, political spellbinders anc
administration officials are busy
these days pouring over tables or hg-
ures that gives an abstract result
"Cost of Government.
Economy" has become the
watchword of an administrators
faced with deficits.
The estimated budget for the
next fiscal year, as presented 10
Congress, provides for the expendi.
ture of $3,942,754,614, which is
$52,271,92O less than the budget
for this fiscal year.
Although the decrease may sound
like no small figure to the average
taxpayer, the presidential campaign
is certain to hear the charge that
the cost of government has increas-
ed 800 percent since 1916.
That increase has come, foes of
the administration say, while the
cost of food, clothing, machinery
and other commodities has been
slipping back to the level of Is
years ago.
The largest cost boost was in law
enforcement. The federal govern
ment now pays approximately 1000
percent more for law enforcement
than was paid in 1915.
Most of the increase is credited
to enforcement of the Volstead
act"
Increase in the expenses Of the
executive, legislative, judicial and
general functions of the govern
ment has been about 800 percent;
cost of some other governmental ac-
tivities is four times higher than
the 1915 level.

found in the 1000 pages of fine
print that is the annual budget of
the United States contain hundreds

Pernicious Anemia Conquered?


Reports from a scientific labora-
tory at Ann Arbor are that PEI
nicious anemia has been definitely
conquered. The medical world and
the public may well hope that tie
facts have not been exaggerated
The former, with characteristic eau
ton, will await the confirmation OF
many months of experimentation
with the announced cure before ac-
cepting it as fact, but there are
several features of the matter that
make physicians more sanguine
therapeutic claims.
The accomplishment of the Drs.
Raphael Isaacs and Cyrus C. Stur-
gis is based upon a tried and proved
remedy for anemia-liver. For
some time physicians have used liv-
er with some success in prolonging
the lives of anemic patients, but
they have been handicapped by the
fact that the human stomach gem
orally rebels against the diet. Ex.
tract of liver, injected intravenous-
ly, has long beer or great value.
but it, too, has ba1 reactions.
The task Of the Dr. Isaacs and
Sturgis was to produce a refined ex-
tract that would do the work with
out unpleasant after-effects, and
this they assert they have done.
They report that from four to six

ficient to restore starving blood to
its proper red corpuscle count.
Pernicious anemia has been num-
bered among the battling ailments
that fasten themselves upon man
kind and defy medicine 1t strikes
almost without warning and re-
duces formerly robust bodies to
wasted hulks and finally results in
death in acute cases. If the Ann
Arbor doctors, with the aid of Uni
yersity of Michigan facilities and a
generous private endowment, have
succeeded in conquering it, they
have wrought a scientific miracle
and bestowed a priceless benefit up
on humanity.
The foregoing is taken from the
Columbus Dispatch. Mrs T. H.

ed, gave the above named college
close to 100000 to be used for

quer this disease It will be re-
called that the late T. H. Simpson
died of pernicious anemia.

 The trick failed to work in the drug store and the clerk becom. ing suspicious followed the men out of the store. He tipped off Patrolman John Moore, who watched the trio as they sumter ed into the Fulton Market and after purchasing some "hot dogs" presented the $10 bill and the quick request for the return of the bill after receiving the change.
 As the trio started to walk down North Main street to a Studebaker car parked a short distance from the store two of them were taken into custody by Officer Moore. Thomas Mccarthy and Walter Markevitz of the Fulton Market identified them in court this morn- ing.
 The accused claimed that 1t was all a mistake and they were posi- tive that no attempt had been made to swindle either store. It was all a mistake.
 The trio were finger-printed and photographed after being sem fenced to Jail. It is believed that they may be wanted in other parts of the state.

 "As the depressed classes and other Hindus believe their scheme Is adequate, the government will recommend to parliament in due course the adoption of the clauses of the agreement dealing with rep resentation in the provisional leg. islature in place of paragraph of the communal award," an India office communique said.
 The communique noted that the Hindu agreement dealt with cer- tain subjects outside the communal award but considered that the high caste Hindus had definitely pledged their intention toward the depress- ed classes. The questions of fran chise and election of untouchables to the central legislature, both out side the scope of the communal award, are being considered by the government, "but no piece-meal conclusion can be reached"
 This does not imply that the government is against what Is pro- posed in the agreement" the com- munique said.
 The statement caused no surprise here, and was regarded by some politicians as ives and mo- answer to the Mahatma.

 War is a collective crime," Her. riot said. Ut is astonishing that the morals of justice, so severe re- garding homicide, are so negligent toward political chiefs guilty of causing the massacre of peoples" ."'
 Herriot reaffirmed the French doctrine of security before disarm- ament. He said France followed closely the efforts of the League of Nations to proportion security and disarmament, and praised Secretary Stimson's historic dis course which demonstrated the ex- tent to which the United States is willing to defend the Kellogg Bri- and pact" and President Hoovers generous disarmament proposal. Herriot proceeded to Geneva where he was expected to push negotiations for non-aggressior pact with Russia. The negotiations started two years ago, but were in' terrupted when France's ally, Ru' monia, refused to conclude a sim liar treaty with the Soviet govern ment.

WORLD DISPLEASED WTTHLEAGUE SAYS
 RAMON DE VALERA
P i'm ary International Problems Being Shelv- ed, Announces Irish Free State Head

I Geneva, Sept 2e.-(UP)-Dis- satisfaction of the world with the League of Nations was frankly out lined by Ramon De Valera, presi- dent of the Irish Free State, when he presided at the first session of the assembly of the league to-day.
 People ara complaining that the league is devoting its activity to matters of secondary or very minor importance, while vital in- ternational problems of the day, problems which touch the very existence of our peoples, are being postponed or ignored De Valera said.
 People are saying that equal ity of states does not apply here in things that matter =. people are becoming impatient and start ing even to enquire whether the ap- parently meagre, face saving re- suits of successive league confer ence and meetings Justify the bur dens of contributions to the league budget and the expense of sending delegation after delegation to Gen. eya," De Valera continued.
 Finally there is the suspicion abroad that little beyond lip ser- vice is paid the fundamental prin- ciples on which the league is found- ed:
 De Valera concluded his speech with a reference to Irish freedom.
 Speaking of my own country. l am confident that if Me are left free to pursue our own policy we shall succeed not only in securing the proper adjustment of our social and economic life but be able to contribute more of our share to hu- man progress throughout the world" he said.

"HORSEFEATHERS" THE FOUR MARX BROTHERS NEW HIT NOW AT WARMERS STATE

Horsefeathers", latest of the mad, merry comedies of the Four Marx Bruthers is now playing at Warmers State where 1t is sending all who see 1t into happy mysteries.
 Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zep- DO are again cast together in a pie ture that affords them opportuni- ties for the same type of nonsense they presented in Animal Crack ers," Monkey Business" and "The Cocoanuts." their three previous movie efforts.
 An amusing plot holds the pie ture together. Groucho is a college president because that's the only way, it seems, he can get his son. Zeppo, out of college. Zeppo has been there 12 years.
 With the cooperation of Chico, village bootlegger, and Harpo, vil- lage dogcatcher. he ultimately &C., complishes his object.
 Upon this frame is built many a comedy situation. Groucho talks at his usual rapid-fire rate; Chico puns in dialect; Harpo says noth- ing and chases every blonde in sight: and Zeppo makes love to the .best-looking girls available.
 Everything considered, "Horse- feathers. to the Judgment of this reviewer. surpasses the three pre- vious pictures these mad men Of mirth have given the talking screen. An excellent surrounding program accompanies the feature prssen' tation.

JACK HOLT IN ''THIS SPORT ING AGE", AND FRANK BUCKS, "B1sING FEM BACK ALIVE" AT THE STRAND
 TO-DAY

Starting today, for four days, the Strand will present an exception ally fine double feature program to include Jack Holt in This Sporting Age" being shown for the first time in Waterbury. and Frank Bucks thrilling picture record of an exciting African wild game hunt, Bring Elm Back Alive"
 If you have thrilled to the rotogravure pictures of sleek horses. and been made green with envy by comparison of your own physique with that of the gentle men centaurs who wield mallets ill the International Polo Matches and enjoy natural, realistic con fllct in your screen drama. "This Sporting Age" is the picture for you to see.
 Holt has rarely had so sympa- thetic, so admirable a role as Cap tain John Steele, idol of his cav- airy post for his exploits on a polo pony; rarely 30 human a role - his weakness Is the bottled stuff that used to have a genuine label; never so realistic a role - for he himself, off the screen, Is one of the best polo players in California, and the finest sportsman in the country.
 A. F. Erickson and Andrew Ben- nison, the co-directofs. deserve credit not only for brilliant ard colorful direction, but for the se- lection of a cast that gives Holt able and finished support. Evelyn Knapp, who plays Mickey Steele Holt's daughter and pal, will win new admirers to her spontaneitS and charm.
 Men in the audience will envy Hardie Albright the opportunity to make love tp her. Walter By ron and Ruth Weston, are the male and female heavies resptc- lively. J. Farrell Macdonald: !he man who made Knute Rockne's memory indelible with his per formance in "The Spirit of Notre Dame," must be singled out for especial commendation.
 The story behind "This Sporting Age" prepared for the screen by J. K. McGuiness, has the kind of dramatic plot that sporting writers are not permitted to include in their columns.
 The companion feature, Bring Elm Back Alive" Is the finest picture of wild jungle animals in combat and in their native lairo ever brought out of Africa. Frank Buck reveals, in this picture, sights never before seen by ~any. white man other than those who have penetrated the jungle. It is a pie ture that will be enjoyed by kids from six to sixty.
 Strand admission prices the first four days of the week. starting Monday, are matinee 15 and 20 cents (until p. m.) and 25 and 35 cents evenings.

Hardie Albright says that there is no romance in Hollywood girls. He says that he can't even get a kick out of kissing one because hc always thinks she probably learned her technique in front of q cam era.
 Perhaps you're right, Hardie, but I certainly take exception with you on a few of them. I have an idea that a few thousand other men around the country would, too.
 If you ever wondered what drove editors to drink, get a load of this little item from one of Hollywood's more energetic press agents. "Clar- ence Muse was looking for g pin without much success. Finally he growled. T wonder where all the pins in this house go 2 That's hard to answer,' replied his laugh ter, they're always pointed one way and headed another"
 Incidentally, Muse now has add- ed writing to his other talents. He is co-author with David Arlen of Way Down South," a story of a colored vaudeville circuit, which is very funny.
