CLEVELAND SWEPT
BY PAY SLASHES
Community Ruthless in Fight
on Costs in Face of
$4,000, 900 Slump.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

opeCldl DlSpaICn 10 Inc star.
CLEVELAND, June % (NANAD.- -
Public salaries are being pared down
and non-esSential adjuncts of govern
ment are dropping in this city in a
community battle to take the fat out of
the public budget, following a $lO,oO0,-
OG0 slump in public revenues.
With the decline in tax receipts vari-
ously estimated between Is and 25 per
cent and with poor relief commanding
more than Sl,000,000 extra help from
normal city and county operating funds,
civic leaders and organizations have be-
come watchdogs of the public treas
uries.
The county officials were forced to
recognize the impending tax delin-
quency crisis four months ago, when
% allied citizens organizations, by
forming Joint Committee for Public
Economy. opened the tax spenders' "
eyes to conditions. So the county Off
GERS made budget-cutting mandatory in
every department in this metropolitan
area by reducing revenues, as antici-
pated for 1882, by Is per cent. That
was the official way of breaking the
news.
Since these estimates guide all mu-
ficipal school and county budgets and
since the Joint Citizens Committee
stood ready to enforce the slogan Of
Balance your budget, whoever you
arc" there was nothing for the gov
ernmental subdivisions to do but to cut
and pare and cut some more.
Civic Committee Members.
The civic leaders include lawyers,
bankers and manufacturers. Their
Financial Vigilance Committee has no
standing in law. and all its conferences
with elected officials have been in
formal. They have been needed
throughout the official halls as the
voice of the taxpaying ma ajority, and
by sheer watchfulness have driven
through savings which bid fair to reach
$4,000 900 for the public schools, more
than S3,5O0,O00 on the city pay roll and
services and about S2,O00,000 for the
county government
The citizen advisers were originally
united by comon membership on the
Joint County Committee for help of the
unemployed, under the Community
Fund and Associated Charities auspices
Their original problem, at the outset,
was to get more money for human re-
lief. They saw no immediate source
save tax moneys, and they set out to
get some tax funds. The nature Of
their purpose has kept politics and
patronage squabbling out of the whole
campaign. They are encouraging the
public officials to trim sail just as all
Cleveland's businesses have had to 90.
Cuts Extensively Made.
Under new and energetic young
executive, Mayor Miller, the city has
hacked its costs by cuts, consultations
and abolition of jobs 1t has main
tained all essential services without
Curtdilment but has reduced the an
nual pay roll cost by nearly 20 per
cent, helped somewhat by the fact that
the pay roll had been overloaded by
the retiring political organization.
Police and fire employees. at first
spared a 10 per cent cut for all city
departments, finally had to submit
when the citizen relief leaders con-
WINGED the mayor it was the city's
duty to divert to the poor 100000 in

gasoline and automobile tax revenues
otherwise available for city operations.
Payless two weeks vacations this
year are the rule in all city jobs from
the mayor down. In some cases city
wage reductions were as high as 40
per cent.
The School Board, an independent
body, spent two months looping of
"frills" and special services and now
has reduced pay rolls an aggregate of
IL per cent, to the total tune of about
So, 100000; Another 100000 has been
eliminated by careful revision of ad-
ministrative operations.
Teachers who took fat IS per cent
salary cut chased on the customary
progressive scale of regular yearly in
increases) set the pace for cuts through
out the school system. A separate citi-
zens committee of As made a survey
of the business Offices of the schools
and has recommended economies and
Stricter practices that began with abo-
lition of the school architect Offices be-
cause no more schools will be needed
for 10 years.
Pay Reductions for All.
In the county court houses, selary re-
ductions of 10 per cent have been the
means for absorbing most Of a S2000,-
900 shrinkage, with every one from
chief justice Of the County Court to the
lowest menial sharing The State has
assumed a larger burden this year Of
tine normal highway improvement bud
get and the county cut its part to
minimum at great saving.
The county courts are working longer
hours to eliminate the usual nee' for
importing down-State judges at extra
pay to keep the docket moving, and six
man juries have replaced panels of II
in hundreds of civil lawsuits so that
even justice may be obtained at more
reasonable cost.

The routine medical inSpec-
ton of school children has
brought to light many physical
defects in what are supposed to
be healthy groups.
The most frequent defects
are as follows:
Over a third of all school
children have teeth defects. In
rural districts nearly a half
are in this condition.
Next in frequency are tonsilS
and adenoids. Sixteen per
cent of tonsils are criticised
and IL per cent of adenoids.
1t is difficult to evaluate such
reports as the standards Of
diagnosis differ so much be-
tween examiners. For in
stance, one report says: zone
third of the tonsils were en-
larged." But enlarged tonsils
are normal in children; they
naturally decrease in size from
birth to adult life. What one
examiner would call enlarged
another might not. Enlarged
tonsils do not necessarily mean
any bodily defect; only infec-
ton of the tonsils means that.
Eye defects were present in
10 per cent. Curiously there
were more in country children
than in city children.
Malnutrition was reported in
Is per cent of country children
and Z per cent Of city children.
This discrepancy also seems
strange.
Ear defects we're present in
about 2 per cent of all children
Other troubles-spinal curva-
lures, anemia, lung and heart
defects were present in very
small percentages.
Mental defects were present
in eight-tenths of per cent in
country children and two-tenths
of l per cent in city children.
The most important items
are certainly: Cd teeth, CD

Many fashion authorities are
saying that your first fall dress
should be either a wool dress,
or a fur-trimmed dress. Others
narrow it down to an ostrich
cloth dress. And we go even
further, and suggest that you
do as you did last year in buy
ing a hat, that you buy an in
expensive dress first, while
you're deciding what color you
want for the basis of your
wardrobe, and while you get
things planned for a better
working-out later. In a season
when there are lots of new
things, it's often wise to buy
something to start off with,
then assemble a more complete
wardrobe later.
In Smart COlOrS
The ostrich woolens are an
excellent choice for early wear.
They are sheer woods with
softest fronds of ostrich feather
woven in, as lightweight as
their feather content suggests,
and warm, but not too hot for
early days. We had a few of
them last year, so you're prob
ably already familiar with the
lovely colors they come in,
cherry reds, wine tones, vivid

greens, blues that are clear and
soft, and rich browns. They
may be plain or flecked in a
design, but they nearly always
have a tiny touch of white in
the weave, for further softening
of the color.
Removable VeStee
Three dresses made of one of
these new ostrich fabrics, are
sketched today. The cloth is
called ostrana, and is rather
sheer and very light weight.
The dresses are excellent for
early street or sports wear. for
school, business, and for foot
ball games later on. They are
in misses sizes, and are only
$10.75. We've Sketched a tai
lored two-piece dress of a
flecked cloth, sketched in
brown, but available in other
colors. It's vestee and scarf
ends are of white angel-skin,
and are easily removed for
laundering. The pleated skirt
and rather plain puffed sleeves
make it practical. and the big
buttons are the only decorative
note.
Sleeveless Jacket
Vivid red ostrana makes the
dress with jacket that is sleeve.

Music


Music
In music there are voices not Of
earth;
Such soaring harmony
AS only in celestial spheres has
birth,
And mounts triumphant, free.
Tonight across the world, as mu-
sic creepS
Upon the moonlight's tide,
Each knocking thought of pain
and sorrow sleeps,
Each grief is swept aside.
And now the sweet, ecstatic melo-
dies
In floods Of sound advance,
To bear the soul across untrav-
eled seas
On beauty's wide eXpanse.
All, music, whisper softly in my
ear;
Awake no thought of day:
Lap me in wonder with your voices
clear;
Charm every hurt away.

less and comes off to reveal
complete dress beneath. The
necklile is square, has a collar
of white rough silk crepe, the
sleeves tucked at the bottom,
where they are open, and the
skirt is cut on the bias. The
clever jacket has a yoke top
that continues into scarf ends
that tie and hold the jacket
shut. A black leather belt COM
pletes the costume, and Of
course it comes in other colors
too. The other dress is of
ostrana in tiny checked effect.
Bias scanning lends interest to
the straight skirt, which has
pockets set in on the bias.
Epaulette shoulders give extra
width, and a silk scarf and
leather belt add color. On a
brown dress, they are in white

other colors. there are har-
monizing shades.

The Beauty
Box

Each day some hair must fall.
The wool that grows atop the
human head performs a con-
tinuous hail-and-farewell act.
A hair survives for five years,
sometimes for seven. Then it
shuffles off like a dead leaf on
a plant. Almost Immediately
its understudy appears, pushing
out from the scalp to serve its
term. 1t is only when the
papilla is done for that the new
fuzzer doesn't appear. To keep
this hair-groWing mechanism on
the job it is advisable to mas.
sage the scalp briskly once a
day, to stimulate blood streams
that bring nourishment to pa
pilla and hair root.
For homework, walking and
sports, the heel of the shoe
should lift the body one-inch
and one-fourth. Chiropodists
claim that if this heel is
worn during the day, a woman
can indulge in moderately high
heels during evening festivities
with no bad effects on posture
or figure. The heel to avoid
is the one with a small base
that doesn't provide a foothold,
allowing the ankle to turn and
sway, causing tension of the
muscles of ankle and leg,
throwing the body out Of
balance. =
