A Legislatures Trim Expenses

legislative sessions bring the total
above $11.0OO.0OO. In four states
Kentucky. Louisiana, Mississippi
and virglnia-no legislative sessions
were held.
Twenty-four states paid legisla-
tors on workday basis ranging
from $3 to SIS per day. The larger
figure Is paid in Arizona and the
lower in Kansas, Michigan and Ore
gon. The remaining twenty states
paid their representatives a set
amount a session, ranging from
5000 for New Hampshire to $500
for Illinois and $1,000 for Pennsyl-
vania.
Legislative experts computed that
S10O,O0O,OOO had already been saved
to taxpayers, although 80 legisla-
lures are still in session, making
additional reductions.
Favorite methods of making saw
ings were consolidating and abolish
ing state bureaus and commissions,
reducing salaries of employees re-
tanned and slowing up expenditures
such as road building and construc-
tion of state institutions. When the
entire legislative season is COM
pleted. experts estimated that the
present figure would be at least
doubled.
New YOrk's legislators plan to
save $60,0O0,OOO, Oklahoma $15.OOO,-
900 and Iowa S6,0O0,OOO.
Efforts to increase declining rev.
enues constituted one of the prob
lens before the legislatures this de-
preston year. Typical means of ex-
panding receipts were through pas.
sage of sales. gift and inheritance
taxes.

Ocean Depths Yield Up
Strange New Creatures

surface of the Puerto Rico Deep. the
deepest part OF the Atlantic ocean.
as they were found by DR.. Paul
Bartsch. Smithsonian institution bi
ologist who led the Johnson-Smlth
sonlan deep-sea expedition which
has Just returned to Washington.
Some of the creatures brought back
by Bartsch. many of them believed
new to science. are grotesque be-
yond the reaches of a nightmare.
AS the collection Is unpacked
more and more strange forms of
fishes, crustaceans and mollusks are
revealed which. while closely related
to surface forms. differ weirdly be
cause of their utterly different en-
vironment.
Countless generations ago their
ancestors, driven by quest of food,
abandoned the familiar sunIlt world
for the perpetual night of the
abysmal depths. where the temper
ature never rises above freezing.
Then. with each family. II was a
case of survival OF the fttest-va-
Ration of form and structure to fit
the environment.
Consequently there have emerged
from the fierce struggle for survival
creatures mostly conspicuous for
their defensive and offensive equip
ment.
Among the weirdest specimens
brought back by Bartsch was
shrimp with long. raZorlike claws
which fold up after the fashion OF
razor. Any small creature that
came within striking distance OF
those "razors" probably would he
an immediate victim. In the col
lection are strange mollusks with
shells like corkscrews and eels like
darning needles but with long.
sharp beaks. One of the most Gu
rious creatures found was a shrimp
which burrows far into the interior
OF sticks of water-soaked wood for
protection.
Food In "Cold Storage"
The reason the great depths are
inhabited. Bartsch explained. is be.
cause of the sinking of vast mum
ber of dead organisms from the sur
face which, once they are below the
freezing point. are preserved in per.
petnal cold storage. They furnish
an enormous supply of fresh meat. :"
II is possible thar surface animals
followed this supply downward and
gradually became adapted TO the
depths.
With this strange environment
and living without any mitigating
circumstances by the law of "eat

develop from this systematic study
of animals living and dying under
such stygian conditions so different

One OF the fears OF your CORE
spondent is that when he is some
where else-the old home town for
instance-he1l forget and think he's
still In New York. Should that hap
pen, IL would be just too bad. Pos
sibly, he would get his face mussed
Certainly. the mildest thing that
would happen would be that he
would be told he had been brought
up better. The reason for that
worry is the bad manners of New
York. Bad manners are contagious

brushed out of the way and snarled
at for quite some time now.
In justice to New York, II must
be said that bad manners are by no
means a distinguishing feature OF
the metropolis Your correspondent
has observed extremely bad man
ners In Paris. which, once upon a
time, he considered a courtly and
gracious city. Bad manners have
been thrust upon him In the q. S.
A. at points quite remote from the
island of Manhattan. But bad man.
ners seem to be more universal
here. They are encountered up
town and downtown, all around the
town. They prevail on Park ave
nue. just as they do on Delaney
street.
One outstanding instance Is the
instructive desire of the New York
er to get ahead OF others. AS has
been said often before. time seems
of greater value here than else
where. The greater the crowds. the
greater the hurry. Always there
are those who advance themselves
by the liberal use OF elbows and
sometimes the old straight arm.
They may be only pint size or in
build resemble a certain wellknown
make of trucks. But they try to
get ahead just the same. And in
that endeavor the female of the
species is far more deadly than
the male.
The subways are the finest eX-
amples of bad manners TO be found
anywhere. The race belongs not so
much TO the feet as Ii does to the
strong. In 1t is absolute equality Of
sexes. Women and children are
brushed aside when II comes TO
boarding train. That is. some
women. Others are the ones who
do the showing aside and they are
just as pitiless with their own sex
as they are with mere man. Eleva.
tors In busy Office buildings furnish
much clinical material for those
who desire to study the manners or
lack of manners in New York. So
do theater and motion picture lob
bles. Much data can also be picked
up in restaurants.
Judging by somewhat extended
survey OF New Workers en- masse-
the individual New Yorker is apt
to be quite another story-the New
Yorker. If he is in a hurry, thinks
only OF himself. Traffic congestion
would not be nearly so bad were
not that true. In case of collision.
