aroused many campaigners to a frenzy of rage and terror rage obviously because it reveals clearly the excellent financial position of the Government; ter rcr inspired by the certainty that their prophecies ae rendered ridiculous
 The 1e37 budget issued last January predicted a deficit of billion dollars, plus any amounts appro- piated for relief expenditures during the year There was appropriated for relief billion and half, be- sii les which the payment of the soldiers bonus is adding 56O millions to the years expenditures, On tis basis it was calculated that the deficit for 1887 voud be three billion dollars
 But the budget summation issued September slowed that enhanced business recovery in 1886 increased government receipts to such extent to make possible substantial reductions in net ex penditures These developments justify the tive budget estimate of two billion 97 millions de- crease of about even billion.
 In January 1884, President Roosevelt estimated receipts for 1884 at three billion 260 millions and for 1885 at three billion 975 millions Actual receipts in 1884 three billion 116 millions and for 1885 they were three billion, 800 millions The in both is less than five per cent Tn January 1885 the President estimated for 1886 at three billion !92 millions. Actual receipts for the fiscal year of 1886 that ended on June 30 four billion 116 millions, about three per cent above the estimate
 The President said in January, 1884 that the gross tafct for 1884 and 1885 due to the big push for re- covery in those years would probably higher than nine billion dollars. The big push made it was decidedly successful and the actual deficit for 1884 and 1885 totaled seven bllion 48 millions two bil- lion less than was estimated. In January, 1886 the President estimated gross deficit for 1886 of four and half billions. Actually it was four billion 764 millions But with veterans bonus expenses deduct ed it just about three billion
 The Washington Post commenting the budget figures, said: Even if the current deficit should prove to be substantially in of the latest revised estimate it is evident that the country is in position to pro- gress rapidly toward the goal of balanced budget Moodys Bond Survey of August 24 commented:
 By now the rising tide of business recovery and corporate and individual incomes makes virtually cer- tain lower Federal deficits in coming years In fact balanced budget for the fiscal year 1888 could well be witnessed calendar year 937 business is as good as that of 1886"

TESTING ENGINES. NOT AVIATION

As the avators know it. Russell Owens number wasn't up last night when he came into landing here only to crack up and put his automobile -engined airplane out of commission and miracuously escape with his life. The pilot attempting flight to Seat tie in special built ship, probably has only his good fortune to thank for being alive his plane turned completely over on top of him and he was drenched with gasoline Being pilot of IT years standing, Owen probably turned off the switch but, then, it only the God who rides the airways with n- repid birdmen who brought him out of it with only few scratches and bruises.
 It is an old saying of war time days among air. men that when of the boys gets out of a par ticularly bad crackup that "his number wasn't up" Russ Owens number wasn't up last night and despite the many obstacles he has encountered he may go on yet to achieve aviation glory.
 Fortunate, however, Owen has been to escape with his life, there is tinge of the unfortunate for Alaska in the flight There many in the Outside world who not familiar with the success of avia- tion in the north They do not know that our own fliers traverse the great distances which Alaska every day of the year with scarcely mishap There probably few places the face of the earth where the airplane has come to be means of transportation than in Alaska. Everybody flies up here because it is means of getting where one wants to go in a relatively short time. Too there places where the airplane is the only means ot reaching given place.
 Thus it is when news of crashes in the norti emanate forth to the Outside world many look askanct at flying in Alaska with the result that aviation ir the north gets something of a black eye. The out standing reactions, of course felt from the Rogers-Post tragedy but minor mishaps such as the one here in Juneau last night when exploited in advance as this flight has been, tends to build up
 bugaboo against flying in Alaska. It is unfortunate in that respect But is nothing to get very alarmed about
 The fact is that aviation is thoroughly en- renched as means of transportation that nothing can keep it from advancing in Alaska well as every where else. And it might be added that the indus try owes large debt to the pioneers of aviation such as Russell Owen, who it should be made clear was not testing aviation, but rather testing an auto- mobile engned arpane long hop

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 30, 1886
 As the month closes mingled ben efic and adverse upsets are seen in the horoscope. Astrologers fore cast great good fortune through publicity.
 Again the seers prophecy that ad- vertising methods are to undergo sweeping changes, but there will be expansion of space in magazines and newspapers.
 The planetary government con- t,nues favorable to mel who guide public destin;es. Those who hold government positions are under the best possible rule of the stars.
 This is a most promising confi- guration for all who sign part nership papers, leases or other le- gal documents. Men who draw plans for buildings, bridges and roadways are well directed. It is wise to finish important mat ters in the earlier hours of this day, for sinister signs are seen as the Sun declines.
 Because October is to be confus ng-yet not without encourage ment for Americans is well to begin the month with a sense of freedom from old obligations. Debts should be paid.
 Banks and banking are to come under sweeping influences that seem to presage drastic changes. Money will be discussed with pe- culiar concern before the first of the year 1887, it is predicted.
 Decentralization of population will be a major interest in coming months. Those who have the wis dom to desert large cities will have great reason to be thankful, it is lprophesied.
 { Persons whose birtlldate it is have the augury of year of business changes that are profitable. Jour- neys on several missions should meet with success.
 Children bosn on this day prob ably will be keen of mind and ac- tive of body. Subjects of this s'gn may be practical, but artistic gifts belong to many.
 Karl Begas, painter, was born on this day 1794. Others who have eel ebrated it as a birthday include Samuel s. Cox, statesman diplo- mat, 1924; Richard Brinsley Sheri- dan, playright, 1751.

Male Quail Sits
 But Under Protest

HERSHEY, Pa, Sept 29-A male quail went maternal near here and matched brood-but he did it under pressure.
 Early in the matching period at the Hershey quail farm, the mother bird left her nest of 10 eggs and the father took her place, volun- tarily at first. Then he became tired of his job and tried to leave. But each time he made the effort, the mother bird drove him back to the nest.
 Finally, eight of the 10 eggs matched

Tops in Dance Music on Radio
 by Koste|anetz
Chesterfield Orch estra Is On Air Every Wednes-
 day and Friday

NEW YORK, Sept. 29. = When Andre Kostelanetz raises his baton at precisely nine o'clock Wednesday evenings and ten o'clock Friday evenings, what many critics have called radios most versatile musical show goes on the air from coast to coast over the Columbia net work.
 The foundation of the program is a 45-piece orchestra that can interpret-and does, every kind of tune the nation is dancing to Even other well-known dance band leaders admit that the Chesterfield orchestra is in class by itself. Ii it is dreamy waltz you want Kostelanetz will give it to you-or perhaps, if you are in mood which calls for "Alexander's Rag time Band" or something like the Sugar Foot Stomp" the talented Chesterfield conductor is ready tc oblige. With the use of brilliant arrangements, Kostelanetz trans. forms his orchestra from an en- semble of melodious strings to z band of hot brasses" almost, i seems, with magic. And his rendi. tions of rhumbas and tangos ar, outstanding in their faithfulnes to the Latin musical tradition.
 Against this background of dis tinctive music there is the singinl of Kay Thompson, Ray Heathertol and the Rhythm Singers. Many o radios leading commentators ar

saying that the Chesterfield people have discovered in Miss Thompson song stylist who is on the way to winning generous share of radios laurels. Her solos are bright spots in program that never lags in any part. Miss Thompson has her own way of lifting a song out of the commonplace, demonstrating a rare knowledge of musical com position. Perhaps this comes large ly from Miss Thompsons earlier training as a concert pianist. And when Miss Thompso and her Rhythm Singers-l5 boys and girls present such numbers as Knock Knock" T Can Pull Rabbits Out of a Hat" Who's This" etc, they become miniature lyrical comedies. When, for example, Kay Thompson and the Chesterfield Chorus song us On Bus" it was transformed from an ordinary song into a mus ical trip on an international bus, at a breath-taking pace that was speeded up with fast interpolations of witty dialogue to fit the chang ing scene.
 But to demonstrate ms snowman ship Conductor Kostelanetz bal ances these novel arrangements against Ray Heathertons smooth baritone voice. MT. Heatherton ex- cels in romantic ballads and popu- lar classics. A complaint the Ches- terfield people often receive-if you can call it a complaint-is that Ray Heatherton's songs are all too few
 | All together the Kostelanetz pro- gram is unique contribution to radio entertainment combining, as it does, the rhythm of popular songs with the sway of dreamy tangoes and rhumbas. ballads that everybody loves, and just a bit ol musical mischief for added spice

FRENCHBUDGE7
ASKS BILLION
FOR DEFENSE

PARIS, Nov. 6 GN.SO.-The
French governments 1887 budget,
calling for q record breaking bill
lion-dollar loan to finance the ma
tons huge defense program, was
submitted to the chamber of depu-
ties yesterday by Finance Minister
Vincent Auriol.
Presaging a stormy debate IN
which the existence of Socialist
Premier Leon Blum's government
will be at stake, the budget was
presented to the deputies as the
years second emergency session OF
Parliament opened.
Controversy is anticipated over
the costs of maintaining the 40
Hhour week, paid vacations and
other labor reforms pushed
, through Parliament by the Blum
cabinet in the last session. Con-
Servatives charge these measures
have proven unsound and are re-
SponSible for the nations deficit.
The proposed loan for defense
is not expected to elicit as much
opposition as the items for domeS-
tic expenditures. The program to
be financed by the loan includes
enlargement of the air force to
rank with any in Europe and ex-
tension of the Maginot under
ground line of forts from the Ger
man to the Swiss and Belgian
frontiers.
