Various Uses for Raisin
Seed: Oil Is in Demand

The magazine Food Industries says
the by-product Of seeded raisins is
sprayed back on the skins in the form
Of fine OIL This prevents the seeded
raisins from sticking together or to
their packages, and enhances their ap-
pearance.
From 1000 to 1000 tons Of raisin
seeds are accumulated annually from
the 100000 tons of raisins sold each
year in the United States. When the
seeds are extracted from the raisins,
some of the pulp, or meat of the fruit,
naturally clings to them. From this,
by diverse means, comes:
u to II per cent of grape sugar.
Alcohol from that.
191-proof brandy and sweet wines
from the latter.
Is per cent of oil from the seeds
after they are crushed, dried and
cured.
Raisin oil is also used as salad oil
(it blends readily with olive OiD; for
frying doughnuts and potato chips
because of its non-greasy flavor; In
the paint industry. particularly on
canvas; for awnings and airplane
wings, because of its slOw-drying and
high-spreading qualities and, finally. In
lubricants.
To top everything off, the residue
from the crushing process is utilized
In stock feed, as fertilizer and as a
fuel.

Hat.Bands and Badness

Badness, says writer In the Los
Angeles Times, is not due to parasites,
dandrufr. nervousness or brain-work
but to the pressure Of hat-bands upon
the blood vessels In the scalp. Here
tofOre. women wore loosely fitting
hats, and escaped badness. Narrow
headed men do not feel the pressure
Of hat-bands as much as do thick
heads, and narrow heads are seldom
bald. According to the United States
Department of Public Health, 1t Is i'm
possible to restore hair which has van
ished. Badness cannot be cured, but
may be prevented.

Evolution of the Cane

A stick was probably the first per-
sonal property owned by primitive
man. He found 1t handy weapon
with which to fend off the sabre
tOOthed tiger and Of great assistance
to him on his weekend trips over the
by no means perfect highways of the
period.
The stick persisted through Biblical
times, prophets being generally pic
tured with staff gripped firmly In
the right hand as they wendell their
way into the wilderness.
Kings and handles had their sticks,
too. Disraeli, credited with having
been q bit of dude in his time, had
q different cane for each period Of the
day.

granted a 60-day reprieve today by
President Roosevelt.
In announcing the stay of execu-
ton, the White House said the Presi-
dent had acted on the recommended
ton of Attorney General Cummings,
who explained that the remaining
time was insufficient to study all the
papers in the case. The cabinet OFF,
Ger suggested the 60-day delay.
Meanwhile, friends and attorneys
for Harris continued their fight to
obtain a communication of the sentence
to life imprisonment.
A group of Harris friends filed an
other sheaf of papers today with
James A. Finch, the United States
pardon attorney, who eventually will
make a recommendation to the At
torney General. In case of an un-
favorable finding by the pardon at
torney, the same group plans to call

Report in House Due
Late This Week.
RY JAMES E. CHM.

A closely balanced budget for 1886
balanced at the sacrifice of emergency
relief and a recommended increase in
the Federal obligation to the ex-
penses of the District-was officially
transmitted to Congress today by
President Roosevelt.
Unoficially. the budget has been
before the House Subcommittee on
Appropriations for nearly a month;
the customary hearings have been
completed and the 1886 District ap-
preparation bill, based on its recon-
mendation, will be in shape to report
to the House the latter part of the
week. Chairman Cannon and other
members of the subcommittee have
indicated that only few major
changes were made in the budget
proposals, and that the supply bill
will carry about the same amount as
the budget recommended.
Altogether, the budget carried ap-
proved requests for appropriations
totaling Sal, ,834,82 slash Of S2,204,-
534 under the amount sought by the
Commissioners.
The cut was accomplished chiefly
through a reduction from 100000
to S2,000,000 in the emergency relief
item Of the Commissioners and the
flat denial Of their plea for Federal
contribution of s8,317,500. The budget
again fixes the amount of the
Federal obligation at S5,700 900. the
same as appropriated for the current
year, which was brought below S.
100000 for the first time by the COM
pulsory repayment Of 10 per cent Of
P. w. A. allotments.
Compared with the appropriations
for the current fiscal year, however.
the total budget recommended for
1886 is nearly s2,500,000 greater. On
paper that increase appears generous.
But careful analysis Of the budget
estimates reveals a different story.
Bare Necessities Provided.
There are provisions for a few new
capital improvements-school build
ings, grade crossing viaducts and a
new fire engine house-but on the
whole the budget will do little more
than keep the District on a SUBJ
sistence basis in the coming fiscal
year, after caring for the bare neces-
stiles.
The apparent increase is absorbed
in several different ways. For in
stance, baout one-half of the $2,500,-
000-s1 ,215,546 to be exact-is fol-
the restoration Of District salaries
to full pay basis by adding the
last third portion of the is per
cent reduction. Rising commodity
prices reflected in operating expenses
of District institutions are taking a
share of the balance.
Some of the redeeming features of
the budget are these:
1t provides for six new school build
ings or additions costing total OF
S775,000.
1t allocates to the Public Utilities
