balanced in the 1888 fiscal year if
Congress economies and revenues
continue to mount.
The Senator's forecast was boil
stored by a continued improvement
in the treasury revenue outlook. In
formal estimates reveal the possibili-
ty that income from taxes may rise
to $6.OOO,OOO,OOO for the present fs-
cal year, as against s4,115, $50. 900 for
1886 and $500, 467 900 for 1895.
Such assurance from a high admin
istration official is doubly welcome
to American industrialists. The ma
tion's business leaders have long
contended that a balanced budget
and clear cut stand on tax matters
is prime requisite to recovery. No
business man can plan for the fu-
ture with any assurance as long as
the threat of confscatory taxes and |
an unbalanced budget hangs over his
head.
If the statement of the Senate
chairman represents the
studied determination of the admin
stration, America has taken another
ong step up out Of the valley of the
depression.

to process fruits-is announced by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Many farm families who make a
winter industry Of preparing shelled
nuts for sale or home use, often take
a loss when warm weather causes
the oil in the nuts to become rancid.
Commercial concerns avoid this
staleness or rancidity, caused by
light and heat in combination with
air, by vacuum packing the nut
meats.
The only equipment needed for
vacuum packing nut meats at home,
says r. c. Wright, of the Bureau Of
Plant Industry, who developed the
method, is glass fruit jars to hold
the nuts and the water bath Gamer
to exhaust the air from the jars.
He says:

THE PRESIDENTS MISSION

President Roosevelt has set sail
on voyage to Buenos Aires, where
he will address the Inter-American
Peace Conference. Anything he can
say for the cause of eternal peace
on this continent, will meet hearty
approval. The American people
would scorn to fight the struggling
little republics of the southern
hemisphere.
No real reason exists for any con-
troversy with those countries. If
they have revolutions, and the lives
of Americans are threatened. our
people should get out. If their prop
erty is destroyed, the government
should ask those countries to pay
proper damages. But no soldiers
should be sent down there to collect
such claims.

ROMANCE IN THE WHITE HOrsE

today is the prospective marriage of
the son of the President, Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Jr., and Miss Ethel
dupont. of the famous dupont fam
lily of Delaware, which founded one
of the country's most successful in
dustries. This union between two
families representing the govern
ment and business, might be taken
as a hopeful omen that these great
forces are going to work together
for better times.
Young Franklin appears to have
inherited much of his fathers force
fulness and originality. He is called
an expert yachtsman. If he can sail
the seas of matrimony as we'll as he
has the Atlantic ocean, his marriage
should be happy. In his efforts to

THE @BUY EARLY CAMPAIGN


For about 25 years, a campaign
has been carried on to induce people
to buy their Christmas gifts early,
and avoid the rush in the final days
before the holiday. 1t was seen
years ago, that the traditional jam
az this period imposes an almost in
tolerable strain on store, postal, ex-
press, and other workers. 1t seem
ed a very simple thing to induce the
public to change its habits, and buy
enough in advance so that the grand
final scrimmage might be avoided.
1t is a difficult thing to change
human habits. You may be able to
turn nature upside down, and re-
move mountains of dirt and cast
them into the sea, in order to build
some needed highway. But the fixed
ways of human nature are about as
set as a rock, and it takes some kind
of an explosion to turn them over.
So in spite of all the annual lee
turing that this rush should be lev
eled off and distributed, people still
continue to jam into the stores for
IL days previous to the Christmas
and make a mountain of
trouble for overworked folks.
This publicity has had some effect
on large number of sensible folks. /
They begin getting their Christmas
stuff together at an early date, and
do something to moderate the worst /
Of the rush.
In so doing they favor their own
interest and save themselves fatigue
md annoyance. They get the best
VI the stocks, before they have been
picked over and the most desirable
rticles carried OFF. They save them
elves the bother OF waiting while
Jerks attend to other customers.
nd they don't have to stand in line
t post offices.
These sensible and considerate !
olks perform a public service by
ding their Christmas shopping and
failing early. Would there were
lore like them!

SKEPTICS BUILD NOTHING

When Columbus discovered Ameri-
ca, Europe was full of skeptics who
said there was no land across that
ovean. If Columbus and other navi-
gators had kept listening to such
people until this time, our marvel
louis continent would never have
been discovered.
There are always skeptics in
towns who say things can't be done.
As long as people listen to them,
these things aren't done. It takes
men and women Of faith to do things.

MILFORD PROPERTY owne

MILFORD PROPERTY owners
will be called upon to decide at a
referendum election on December
2Sth whether the City of Milford
shall bond itself for an additional
$1O5,0OO.OO which will be used for
water works improvement. While
we are not familiar with the entire
purpose of the issue, information
which has reached us is to the effect
that the improvements contemplated
will cost much more than the amount
asked by the City, which additional
amount will be supplied by the Fed
eral government 1t will only be a
question of time when the present
standpipe will be worn out At the
present time the water pressure in
the City is not uniform due to the
manner in which the water is stored
for use in the City. The new tank
contemplated, together with the
proper mains to be installed will
eliminate this trouble. Probably one
of the most commendable features
of the proposed referendum is the |
effect that it will have on insurance !
rates on property located in Milford. |
At the present time the fire pro-
lection facilities are not rated very
high by underwriters. This is due
to the small reserve water supply |
stored for emergency use. Insur-
ance men say that with the new
facilities contemplated through the
expenditure of the bond issue funds
these rates will be materially re-
duced. Milford citizens have over
three weeks to consider the matter
from all angles. It should be given
full discussion, so that the voters
may know just what they are doing
when they ballot on the proposal.

ALL INDICATIONS POINT to 1881
as a year of still further progress
i'll the rise of the nation out of the
depression. Employment in manu-
featuring industries has risen stead
lily in the past year and is likely to
reach or surpass the 1929 levels in
the near possibly in the COM
ing month.
General unemployment has fallen
sharply and many economists believe
that the census of the unemployed
now being planned by the Depart
ment of Commerce will show two
things: First, that those who are
without work and are seeking work
number less than 100000; Second,
that there is already an actual short
age of skilled labor in many trades,
industries and communities. On this /
latter point no less an authority than !
Dr. Harold G. Moulton, head of the
Brookings Institution, has already
predicted that we shall have an ac-
tual shortage of labor within the
next five years if industrial produc-
ton RECEIVERS to the 1929 limit.
In other words, the emergency
phases of recovery are past. The
myth that we need such panaceas
as the 3O-hour week, federal fixing
of manufacturing wages and hours
and other arbitrary proposals ema- &
mating largely from professional la t
Dor leaders, has been exploded.
The need Of the moment is leader s

TRAINING SCHOOL
WORK CONSIDERED
Commissioners to Discuss
improvements at Girls
Institution.

Paving the way for improvements
to the National Training School for
Girls, for which Congress provided
funds in the 1887 supply act, the
Commissioners tomorrow will con-
slider plans for contraction of three
new buildings and extensive remodel
ing work.
The improvements are designed to
correct conditions which were de-
scribed by Senators Copeland of New
York and King of Utah as medieval"
after they had made personal in
spection Of the place.
The new buildings will be two small
dormitories, each to provide quarters
for IL girls, and combination
gymnasium and assembly hall. An
old barn, used as school will be
remodeled. The new dormitories will
be used by white girls, making ad-
ditional room available for colored
girls in large dormitory.
The work now contemplated Is
estimated to cost some $4,000. Con-
gress provided 100000 for construc-
ton work and other changes at the
institution.
At tomorrow's session, Engineer
Commissioner Dan I. Sultan also will
ask the board to approve general plans
for new buildings for women prisoners
at the workhouse at Occoquan, for
which $4,000 was appropriated.

AMERICANIZATION WORK
.OF D. A. R. CITED BY CHIEF

Despite the vigorous stand taken by
the Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton for strict immigration laws
and for deportation of the foreign
born criminal, the organization has
as one of its important constructive
aims the assistance of lawful i'm
migrants in their efforts to become
good citizens, it was explained today
by Mrs. william A. Becker, president
general.
She said she wished to counteract
the impression that the D. A. r. is
opposed TO all aliens.
I'VE are against communism" Mrs.
Becker said. I'VE are fighting those
who would overthrow our Government
by force. We are striving to counter
act the flood of subversive propaganda
of both American and foreign-born
termites. That doesn't mean, however,
the D. A. r. is against all aliens and
would send them from our shores.
What we are trying to do is to
instill more patriotism and loyalty
into the hearts Of both native and
foreign-born alike. America right
now could stand a little more true
patriotism. 1t needs more good
citizens. It has had enough public
enemies"
Mrs. Becker called attention to the
work Of the D. A. r. Americanization
Committee, headed by Mrs. Horace
M. Jones, Of Germantown, Pa. This
committee Is In charge Of the D. A. r.
work Of aiding aliens in naturaliza-
tton, in learning to speak, read and
write English and in assisting the
foreign born to become respected

WORK ON POOLS
TO Be RESUMED
Delays From Flood and Nc.
Carl Ruling Prevent Com
pIetion This Year.

Under no circumstances can the
swimming pools in East Potomac Park
and Anacostia be completed in time
to permit their use this season, Ma
tional Capital Park officials reported
today in answer to numerous queries
from neighborhood youths.
New bids are to be submitted in a
week or 10 days by the contractors.
however, and it is expected work will
be resumed shortly thereafter.
The disastrous flood of last March
and an adverse ruling of former Con-
troller General ]. r. McCarl mitigated
against completion of the pools as
originally scheduled, on or about Au-
gust !. Due to the damage wrought
by the flood to the excavations for the
two pools 1t was necessary to change
plans so as to provide for driving piles
in the foundations as an extra means
Of safety.
McCarl had ruled that the Govern
ment was not responsible for the pile
driving, inasmuch as specifications re-
quired the contractors to examine con-
ditions themselves and take the risk.
For that reason he refused to permit
w. P. A. funds to be expended for such
work.
Now the controller generals office
has issued a revised ruling, holding
that as the damage resulted from the
floods, the contractors were justified
in asking for extra expenditures under
their contracts. As a result, new bids
will be submitted for the work. Park
officials said they cannot tell at th,s
time what the additional cost win be.
The BIZ Co. Of New York contracted
originally to build the Anacostia pool
for $53, TAO and the Charles H. Tomp-
kins Co. of Washington undertook to
do the job In East Potomac Park for
$84,840. The excavations had been
completed and the companies were
ready to put in the foundations when
the Potomac River overflowed its
banks. Since then the work practi-
cally has been at a standstill. Rein
forced concrete piles will be utilized in
the new work, provided park officials
regard the bids as reasonable.
Bath house facilities will be provided
at each pool and these will be installed
in the field houses after necessary al
terations.

SHENANDOAH PARK
POPULAR|TYGR0WS
307, ,582 Visitors Attracted
During Week Ended
July 4th.

Shenandoah National Park, with its
famous Skyline Drive, is rapidly be-
coming one Of Uncle Sans most
popular recreational areas.
! During the week ended July 4, the
park attracted 1882 visitors, an in
crease Of 10 per cent over the same
week last year.
Preliminary figures of the National
Park Service, made public yesterday,
indicate the parks in the East. most
of them less well known and more
recently established than those In
the West, will receive more vaca-
tionists this season than ever before.
The park service complies COM
parative figures on the number of
visitors only twice year-on May 81
and October 31-but during the vaca-
ton season receives weekly reports
from most Of the larger parks. The
available weekly reports, incomplete
for some parks. show the park system
headed for new high in popularity.
Compared with the Shenandoah's
record for the week of July 4, Hot
Springs, Ark, received 213,156 visitors.
Yet the figure represented an increase
of II per cent over the comparative
week of 1885.
When the seven recreational areas
are fully developed along the Skyline
Drive, park officials say the overnight
visitors to the Shenandoah area will
be greatly increased in numbers.
Hundreds of cabins soon will be made
available.
