But how would you like to
be told that you must add
"oglou" to your name? Bench
leyoglou. Sullivanoglou. Charles
Hansen Townoglou. Or, if you
want to be really silly, o.
Soglowoglou.
That is a pretty, arbitrary
thing to say to a man. You
have got to add 'oglou' to your
name if you want to live in
this country" Even Hitler
hasn't gone that far. The fact
that "oglou" means "the son
Of -" doesn't make it any
easier to take, either.
Small wonder that we read
that Kennel PaSha has to have a
man taste all his food for him
before he dares eat it himself.
This man gets $4,000 a year
and is a member of the Turkish
Secret Service. He works only
thirty minutes a day, but, during
those thirty minutes, almost any,
thing can happen. One poisoned
truffle and that $4,000 is no
good to him.
But. for a man like Kennel
Pasha, who makes people add
"oglou" to their names, a food
faster need not necessarily be a
sure defense against poisoned
food. Kennel might easily an.
tagonize the food-taSter himself
some day with his high-handed
ways. And then what's to pre-
vent the food-taSter from Slip
ping a little bichloride into a
boiled egg himself, after he has
tasted it? Maybe Kennel should
hire another man to taste the
food after it has left the food
faster. Maybe he had better
just give up eating at all.
The food-taSter. whose name
is Mehemmed Mouth (and I'll
bet that Kennel doesn't make
him call himself Mehemmed
Mouhioglou) is known in Turkey
as "the man who never eats"
He says that, what with nibbling

Use of Ultra Sound Vibrations?

shaking out of whatever is
causing instability.
It has been suggested that
mild vibrations impressed upon
eggs, embryonic animal and
vegetable life, conceivably
might give control of the
chromosomes which determine
hereditary qualities.
SELECT QUALITIES
Can it be that we are on the
eve of discovering method of
controlling how the unborn
babe shall develop, and thereby
insure the creation of the kind
of a child we desire?
Shall we look back over our
own ancestry, select the char
acteristics we wish to have con-
tinued, and have the chrome
somes which make for these
qualities encouraged and all
the opposing chromosomes de-
stroyed?
Already we breed horses and
cattle. So arbitrary method
cannot be applied to human be-
ings.
The application Of ultra
sound to chromosomes may be
feasible, enabling us not only
to produce children according
to specifications, but to i'm
prove future generations.
Moreover, we may do this to
an extent comparable to the
transformer stepping up a cur.

However, more than 10000

noting their effect.
BOTH WAYS
In order to create ultra

The arrangement works both
ways. Apply oscillating electri-

Undaunted "Bloomer" went

Tom leaped to his feet to
demand:

Advised that there would be
no additional cost, Tom sat
down.
His colleagues sighed. The
keeper of the Treasury key was
on the job again.
When House Democrats met
to hold their caucus one Of the
first tasks was to elect officers
of the caucus.
For years Joseph j. Sinnott.
doorkeeper of the House, has
acted as sergeant-at-armS Of the
caucus.
Again his name was pro-
posed.
In the rear of the room a
member who is somewhat hard

shouted:
I'VE want Kenneth L. Rom
ney as sergeantat-arms Of the
House."
He WaS told they Were elect
ing the SergeGnt-at-drmS OF the
caucus and not of the House.
1t failed to deter him and for
SeUeral minutes he shouted
praise of Mr.. Romney.
After a lengthy dissertation
he was persuaded that he was
using his oratory at the wrong
time.

A Destructive Budget
The Local Estimates

The District Budget as submitted to Congress by the Pre

the Federal Government limits its share OF the cost to the
$5700,000 which it is appropriatlng
The budget is referred being subsistence budget
It might more appropriately be called "DEsTRUCT1VE

governmental functions and service
The District Commissioners bearing in mind the desraby
of economy asked Bureau of the to approve e
mates totaling about fortyfour million dollars IN ORDER
TO REACH THAT FIGURE THEY HAD CUT THE EsT1-
MATES OF THEIR DEPARTMENT HEADS BY ABOUT SIX
MILLION DOLLARS.
To finance the estimates which they submitted the Comms
proposed that the Federal share be increased by about
three million dollars, and SUBMITTED FACTS WHICH
JUSTIFIED THEIR PROPOSAL
But the Bureau of the Budget refused the
three the Federal share and in order
to keep the budget balance cut three million dollars from
the total estimates submitted
That slash Of three million dollars in the estimates obviously
made in order Federal Government could avoid doing

local government up with its obligations and LETTING 1T

This cut means that we can't buy single plot of ground
upon which to build the SCHOOLS WHICH ARE URGENTLY
NEEDED the heavy increase in the school popu
lation.
It means that we can't add single policeman to force
which is totally inadquate.
The Fire Department can't buy the equipment which
replace engines and trucks which now more
than fifteen years old.
The lights which put out dmmed this year
in the name of economy won't be lit next year.

might have the people of the city millions of dollars
won't be able to out that program because it couldn't

These of course, only few of the Mghghts Of the
situation created by the budget as submitted.
Now we know the people Washington know that
can't spend lot of money for civic improvements and services
without raising the money It is plain that sometimes have
to curt budget in order to avoid an impossible tax
burden
But this cut in the estimates by the Bureau Of the Budget
NOT MADE TO SAVE MONEY FOR THE LOCAL TAX
PAYERS It is made purely and simply in order that the
Federal government avoid OBLIGATION to participate
in the Of city which the of the National gov
ernment.
