New Handbook

NEW YORK, June 4.-Dr. Will

Monies at New York University,
said today that American econo-
mlStS agree on most basic facts
of their science, but employ terms
for varieties of meanings.
A census being taken among
economists by the faculty of the
university has been attended by
some astonishing results. DR.. King
explained one of the reasons for
the poll is to induce economists
to speak the same technical Ian
guage. An economic handbook is
also to be compiled from it for
the use Of Congress.

pected to be called into session. It is planned to have the budget com- pleted by December 1st so that the budget, as approved by the finance commissione can go to the alder men at their first meeting in De- cember, which is scheduled for Monday, the 2nd.
 Since the administration of May or Frank Hayes went into office there has been a gradual reduction in the tax rate. Reports have been heard that the rate might go up for 1886 but administration leaders were not confirming these rumors.
 Depts. Ask Increases
 Executive Secretary Kelly pointed out this morning that many depart ments in their tentative budgets have asked for increased appropri- ations. However. he said, every ef- fort will be made to cut depart mental figures down to the bone so that no increase in the tax levy will be necessary for the coming year. Bond redemption will be larger for 1886 than during the current year and this increase will have to be cared for in cuts in expenses else where.
 John H. Crary, secretary of the board of assessors, stated today that his board is completing tentative figures on the 1886 grand list to be submitted to the finance board. It is on the tentative 1885 grand list total that estimated income for 1886 from taxation will be computed. MT. Crary was not in a position today to state whether or not there would be an increase in the grand list figures submitted this year over those submitted a year ago to the board of finance when the 1885 bud get was compiled.

SIXTEEN HURT AS
 TROLLEYS CRASH

Everett, Mass, Nov. 12- (UP) - Sixteen passengers were injured, one seriously, and several others were shaken severely here today when one trolley car ploughed into the side of another in fog-bound Glndale Square. Dampness from the heavy mist which caused the brakes to slip was responsible for the acc cident, police believed.
 Seriously injured was Alfred Con- salves, 36, of Revere. a passenger on the Boston elevated car which was struck. A dozen fellow passen- gers were hurt, while three passen- gers on the second car, operated by the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Company, were injured. The rear truck of the Fl car and the front truck of the Eastern Massa- chusetts car were derailed. Neither Motogman J. J. McCarren of Revere, iIl charge of the Eastern lgassa- chusetts car. nor Motorman Charles Larsen of Everett, operating the Fl ear was injured.

They were above the earth's envelope of atmosphere, which makes the sky appear blue from the surface. Their element was dark, almost black.
 Contribute to Science
 If all the great array of instru- mentS carried in the air-tight, ox- ygen-fed metal gondola functioned perfectly, Stevens and Anderson may have contributed the following knowledge to science: How far out ward the earth's atmosphere ex- tends, protecting the earth. Wheth- CT cosmic rays in the stratosphere under proper conditions can trans mute matter. At what height living sports (inf1nitesmal living partioleS) cease to live. Whether radio waves can be transmitted through the stratosphere. Whether super motors will function in the stratosphere, where, due to lowered resistance, they could carry stratoplanes at speeds impossible in the earth's at- mosphere.
 Scarcely . Jolt
 The piltos manipulated ballast and gas pressure so expertly that the great balloon (capacity 3,700,- 900 cubic feet, l92 feet in diameter, its top 316 feet above the ground at the takeoff) drifted down to the prairie with scarcely a jolt. Four army planes had followed the Ex- plorer II on its U-shaped course southeastward into northern Neb- raska, then northeast into south- ern South Dakota. They landed on the same field. Within 25 miles of the landing more than 1000 persons had arrived. Stevens, Anderson and the army aviators deputized early arrivals to guard the balloon against souvenir hunters. Several mild at- tempts to rush the balloon for souvenirs were made, but were re- pulsed.

S. mail box as a souvenir. Wall ter Teipel, 22, of Milwaukee, Wis, was charged with drunken driving and drunkenness, and David Appen- zellar, 21, of Rye, N. r., was charg- ed with drunkenness.

 Nauseating Details
 In concluding his decision, Judge Brown said, "the consideration of such nauseauating portrayal of events by him who in the discharge of his duty as Q judge of this court has to listen to it, tempts one to moralize upon such habits and the system which makes them possible. That is not the function of the court, however, and refrain"
 The decision pointed out that Mrs. Rame, the widow of George Starr, deputy warden at state prison made no objection to her husbands drink ing and admitted he was an occas- ional drinker.
 The Rames were married January 2, 1928. Rame is 49 years old, and it was his first marriage. He is an executive of large pastry con- pany. operating throughout the state and prominent in the city's social affairs.

The note = More strictly a memorandum or 8 verbal communication in the di- plomatic sense = was reported to be worded in severe terms. It cov- cred several typewriter pages. But Cerruti saw Laval for an hour, and was understood to have outlined 1taly's attitude fully.
 It was this outline that was of particular interest. The note itself was understood to comprise a pre- amble explaining that Italy sought to take preventive action as new league penalties are still six days away; and two sections, the first protesting against pealties and calling them unjustified and the second announcing an intention to respond to penalties with reprisals.

TUBERCULOSIS
IS REGARDED AS
CHILD'S DISEASE

Tuberculosis is as catching for
babies and young children as for
grown-ups," DR.. R. H. Riley, Director
of the State Department of Health
said recently, though few people
think of it as a children's disease.
AS a matter of fact, in the total
deaths from tuberculosis in the State,
last year, one death in every twenty
one was that of child under ten
years old. One death in every seven
was that of child or a young person
under twenty. Every age group from
the youngest to the oldest was rep
resented in the total deaths from the
disease.
Children pick up tuberculosis as
readily as they do measles or scarlet
fever or any other catching diseases.
They are all germ diseases. But tuber
culosis differs from some Of the 9TH
ers in not showing up as quickly as
they do. AS a rule, the character
istic symptoms of the other diseases
develop in a few days after person
has been exposed to the disease. It
takes much longer time for the symp
toms of tuberculosis to be recognized
in both young and old.
"Chest clinics are held each month
throughout the counties under the
joint direction of the State Depart
ment Of Health and the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, for the ex-
animation of persons who show in
dications of tuberculosis or who have
been in contact with the disease. The
clinics are arraged in each county by
the County Health Officer and the
nurses on his staff. A special effort
is made to reach persons-young or
old-who may not even show visible
signs of the diseases but who may
be threatened with it, as well as to
examine those who are i'll with tuber-
culosis. Patients are sent to the elm
les by their family physicians and
the examinations are made by DR..
Victor F. Cullen, Superintendent Of the
State tuberculosis Sanatoria, men,
bers of his staff, by the health Of
ficers or by other physicians who
have had special experience in the
care of the diseases. On the basis of
the findings the necessary treatment
is recommended. The earlier such
treatment is started, the better the
chance are for recovery or for bring
ing the diseases under control.
"In the last ten years, oyer 10000
