Deficit in Lorton and 0CCo-
guam Budgets Corrected
BY Unusual Move

1t became known at the District
Building today that Major Daniel
E. Donovan, District Auditor, bare
ly averted the necessity of turning
out all the employees of the penal
institutions and Lorton and Occo-
quan because there had been no
money available to pay their
salaries for the latter part Of
June.
AS result of shifting unex-
pended balances in one of the
accounts under the Board Of
Public Welfare, the guards at
these two institutions will remain
on duty, the authority for this
unusual procedure being tele-
phoned to the Commissioners by
Lewis Douglas. Director of the
Budget, late yesterday.
Situation Kept Secret
The deficit in the budgets for
Lorton and Occoquan has been
known to the Commissioners for
more than a month, but they
kept the matter guarded, not
wanting to give the prisoners at
these two penal colonies any
idea that guards might have to
be furloughed. The fact that
there also was a similar deficit
in the Department of Health,
affecting 88 officials and en-
ployes, became known about a
week ago.
Auditor Donovan began to scan
the accounts, looking for un-
expended money. He found about
$4,000, which originally had been
appropriated for the care of indi-
gent insane and which had not
been used. This just about GOV.
cred the needs of the 88 Health
Department employees and 288
Lorton and Occoquan guards, and
other employees.
Checks Issued Today
Approval of the Bureau of the
Budget was necessary to use the
money In the emergency. Early
this week, Auditor Donovan and
the Commissioners applied for
authority to make the transfer of
funds, and received it yesterday
just in time to issue the proper
checks today.

Director Street Explains His
Handicap in Handling
JobIesS Situation
eve have only about SIS a

"We have only about SIS a
month - average - for every
needy family in the District"
This, in brief, is the secret OF
why there is a constant stream OF
kickers against the local relief
problems, according to Elwood
Street, director of public welfare
There are $1,000 families on re-
lief in the city and there is $780,
900 Federal money for relief in
June. The division Of that
amount by that many families
gives the answer.
It Averages Higher
But this small average amount
is $500 a month more than the
average which was paid out for
relief by private charity, accord
ing to Elwood Street. Mr.. Street
said:
eve have to give the best ser
vice We can with the limited
funds at our disposal. We ex-
pect that there are scores OF
families who are in great dis
tress even with the relief grant
ed them. We certainly cannot
expect them to live as well as
when they were earning enough
for their needs; and the star
tling fact is that the families
now trying to get along on what
we can give them, averaging SIS
a month, were once able to earn
$1OO a month"
IN TOUGH SITUATION
Mr.. Street said that case work
ers were being trained as fast as
possible to take care of all com
plants. He said:
eve have a tough situation
with respect to these case work
ers. Many Of them are under.
paid, and because Of the econ
Omy act some of them have to
be paid less than their assist
ants. This creates bad feeling
among them, and we are trying
to remedy the matter by reclas-
styling them so we can pay
them what they are worth

the young woman was unsentimental, cool,
quite frank, had shrewd common sense, often
shocked her elders and didn't care.
There is one big difference between the girl
Of that period 100 years ago and today. To the
girl of the -Napoleonic period there
only one career-marriage. But there was for
the girl no sentimental stuff about it. She
knew all the facts of life
The modern girl has more than one career
open to her. Sex pulls her toward marriage.
The job or profession pulls her the other way.
Her instincts trip up her reason.
Now, in my study of dress, found that,
the English being highly sentimental and ro-
mantle people, women naturally tend to the
Gothic style in clothes style that means
angles.
The classic style means vertical lines. The
Gothic style reveals the beauty of the dress.
The classic style reveals the beauty Of the body.

ab0ut their s.,rc

of the various epochs- They
were popular. so they must
have given the women what
they wanted.
MY problem in tackling the
clothes question was: Do the
minds of the women fit the
dresses or vice versa? 1
wanted to reconstruct the
minds ofNthe typical young
women of the middle class in
1920 and see how that Miss
Smith differed from the Miss
Brown of 1910.
Now If you know the tastes
Of a social group, you know
very much what they were
like.
I'm my study I soon saw a
striking analogy between the
young women of the post
Napoleonic war period be-
tween 1900 and 1920 and the
young middle class English
women of our post World
War period. Then, as now,
