AS it stands now, the Presidents
measure will save something like
S525, 900 900. Some $500 100000 is to
be taken from veterans, the rest
from government employees.
It is to be taken at once, without
waiting for the end of the fiscal
year, so that approximately one
fourth of this sum, or S13l 100000,
would be applied to reduction OF
the 1888 deficit, now estimated at
more than a billion dollars.
Presented by Douglas
Veteran organizations would pre-
fer to have congress vote fiat per-
centage decrease in their benefits
rather than give the President VIDE
discretionary powers in making cuts
The Presidents plan, carried to
congress by Budget Director Lewis
Douglas, would give the chief eXecu-
tive power to determine, regardless
of existing legislation, what degrees
Of disability shall be pensionable,
when wars since the Civil war &C
tuaIly began and ended for the pur-
poses Of disability claims, how many
days service shall be requisite for
q pension and what presumptlons
shall be included.
1t would limit domiciliary care OF
veterans with non-service disabilities
to those permanently disabled
would eliminate all non-service con-
nected allowances to emergency re-
tired officers, and would reduce PEN
sions of veterans and widows on &C
count of the Civil war and earlier
wars by 10 per cent.
No Time Limit Fixed
The flat percentage cut favored by
veterans would leave existing law as
it is, and open the way for resump-
ton of the present annual billion
dollar payment on account Of vet
Grams.
The administration bill fixes no
time limit for the reductions it pro-
poses for veterans.
Federal pay cuts would be limited
to one year. They would amount
apparently to II per cent cut with
no exemption for low salary classes.
Indexes of the cost of living pre-
pared by the national industrial
conference board and the bureau of
labor statistics indicates a drop Of
II per cent in the cost Of clothing,
food, fuel, light, housing and sun
dries between the first half of 1928
and the first half Of 1882, but while
the bill sets up this comparison as
the basis of the wage cut it limits it
to Is per cent.
Congressional estimates that
about $126,000,0O0 will be saved in
dicate the cut will be no greater
than - per cent.
Interest Rate liked
Administration leaders hope that
issuance of new currency and the
passage of drastic economy legisla-
ton will enable flotation Of Secur-
tiles, at the March Is refinancing,
at lower interest rates than those
prevailing. This would make posi-
BILE a considerable additional rate
acceptable to purchasers.
President Roosevelt in his Friday
message to congress urged the
necessity of meeting great refund
ing operations this spring" as a
reason for immediate passage Of the
measure giving him power to cut
expenses.
The government has been forced
recently to borrow at S2l per cent,
contrasting with rates of a fraction
of l per cent not long ago.
When this saving is added to the
S525. 900 900 saving estimated from
the economy bill the limit of aomin-
istration retrenchments, at the pres
ent time, almost will have been

George Brent. who plays oppo- site Barbara Stanwyck in Baby Face" which opens at Warmers State tomorrow, is one of the very few players who started his motion picture career with a leading role.
 Most players, even though they have had brilliant stage careers, are forced to serve an apprenticeship in minor roles before being given important parts.
 Brent went to Hollywood after completing a season on Broadway in Love, Honor and BetrayS It is true he dubbed around for a time. before opportunity came. But when Warner Brothers wanted a leading man for Ruth Chatterton in "The Rich Are Always Witn Us" Brent took a screen test ana was at once given the part.
 That was but little more than year ago. Since then he has ap- peared in ten successive pictures. in all of which he had leading parts. The pictures include, be- sides the two mentioned, "The Key hole" "42nd Street." "The Pur. chase Price" "They Call It sin." "So Big" "The Crash" "Week End Marriage" and Miss Pinkerton."
 His eleventh picture for Warner Brothers will also see him in the leading male role, opposite Miss Chatterton, in lilly Turner" which will soon be released.
 In "Baby Face" Brent plays the part of a bank president who sue. cumbs to the siren call of the baby faced vamp> played by Stanwyck. who makes ither life business to intrigue men and then toss them on the ash heap when she has taken all they have to give.
 A special surrounding program of real merif has been booked to accompany the feature. offering. Performances this evening mark the final presentations of the cur" rent double feature bill which in- cludes Kay Francis.

Evils of Flirting Told
 in HIIlbiIIy Ar Drama

Anyone who remembers the quaint diversion called flirting. which 30 years ago was considered a somewhat reckless and repre- hensible pastime, will understand the moral lesson taught in Sinful to Flirt", the old mountain song which has been dramatized for to- nights program of the HilIbilly Heart Throb series over a Nation al Broadcasting company network.
 The traditional ballad of the Tennessee hill country tells the sad story of the girl who said No with a coy smile, and the young man, unversed in the wiles of Air. tation. who then took a white rose from her hair and left her. "'Oh. darling he said wit ha sigh; I'm sure that your hearts made of stOne!'"
 Next morning DOT Willie was
 dead,
 Drowned in the pool by the mill;
 Drownded In pure crystal water
 That ran from the break of the
 hill."
 But he held the rose-fiower to his lips like he was a-bussin' hit, and his gal fell to weepin'. "Oh, Willie, my darling, come back" she hollered, fer she lowed she'd done her prankin' unthoughtedly But this eyes were forever closed. and damp were his curls so fair" So now up in the mountings they say it's sinful to fiirt, an a gal ought better leave a pore boy alone fin she kaint speak to him kind- like. ..
 Frank Luther's hillbilly trio will sing the old song as part of a spe- cial radio dramatization in to- nights program at 1O:45 p. m. E.D.S.T., over an NBC-WJZ net work. Ann Elstner. well known for her mountain character de. lineations over NEG networks, will be heard as the flirtatious lady, and Ethel Park Richardson, auth ority on hill country songs. speech and customs, who adapts these old ditties for the air. also Will play an important role.

San Francisco was a little girl she used to avoid the long hours of practice which her mus sisian father urged upon her, ny the simple expedient or secretly soaking her violin strings in wa ter. When they snapped. that meant Betty could go out and play, with other girls.
