HOPELESS Job

It is regrettable that President Roosevelt did not
launch the study of the fiscal relations problem before
he went away his vacation
The study was directed by the current appropriation
bill and funds are available to finance it.
Unnecessary delay, and there already has been
some is an injustice to the District and to the tax
pavers of the city UhO are being called on to pay
diSprOpOrtiOnGte share of the cost of maintaining
and operating the National Capital.
Commissioner Melvin @. Hazen last week told the
Kwanis Club that preparation Of the District budget
is ''most hopeless and thankless job"
The Commissioner was perfectly right about that but
it should be pointed out that the job becomes
hopeless and thaness every day until the survey
which the President is to make is completed and
Government shall pay.
The Commissioners and their department heads are
at work on the estimates of what will cost to the
city in the fiscal year which starts next July
THEY UNDERTAKE THEIR TASK WITH THE
HANDICAP OF NOT HAVING THE FAINTEST IDEA
OF HOW MUCH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
WILL PAY TOWARD MEETING THOSE EXPENSES
They don't even have idea of how the Federal sum
is to be determined or who is to determine it.
An announcement by the President as to who will
make the fiscal survey for him and instructions from
him to those he delegates for the task to keep the Dis
trct Commissioners informed to progress would be
of material assistance in giving the city reasonable
budget for the fiscal year 1928.
WITHOUT SUCH AN ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE
IMMEDIATE FUTURE IT WOULD REQUIRE A
CORPS OF sUPERMEN IN THE DISTRICT BUILD
ING TO MAKE SENSE OUT OF THE BUDGETARY
TANGLE.

Millions Of dollars are being
poured into the dust belt. OF
course, a partisan-minded person
might ask:
''What about that belt of
trees that MIR. Roosevelt talked
about three years ago? And
what about the hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars in eva, WPA
and CCC money which has been
spent in the drought areas in
the past three years for the pur-
pose of guarding against such
a drought as is now visiting
these placeS?"
Leaving such political thoughts
aside, these dog days bring to
mind the prophecy made a few
years back by a prominent engi-
neer-I think it was Referring
that among the great new indus
tries which would spring up in the
United States was ventilation, or
air-conditioning. You will have 1t
brought to. your mind, too, if you
happen to register at a modern
New York hotel this summer and
have the clerk inquire if you care
to have your room air-cooled at
a cost of Is cents a night.
AIR-COOLED
The theaters were the first to
make us heat-control conscious.
And with them it happened that
necessity was the mother OF In
vention.
Before the movies, when every
thing was the legitimate drama
or vaudeville, the playhouses were
boarded up during July and Au-
gust. OF course, many OF the thea
tiers were closed at other times
besides the months Of July and
August.
Only hit shows kept them open,
and prices outside the top gallery
were such that one show q week
was about the limit for the aver
age man.
Along came the motion picture,
with continuous performances ana
priced as low as a nickel for ad-
mission. Here was entertainment
for the masses and for the chill
dren.
The movies were not gated for
the twomonth summer closing.
There was but one thing to do,
cool the theaterS in summer as
they were heated in winter.

HIGHS AND LOWS
We get it from distant places,
the ice fields of the Arctic, the
waters of the Gulf Of Mexico. the

Of the tropics.

and sent towards the equator.
There it is heated, and rising

The earth'S surface being
broken up with mountains, val

Of air is not constant.
The cold air from the poles and
the warm air from the tropics

the earth. .
"When warm and cold air
masses collide we are told,
"vast areas Of low and high
atmospheric pressure are formed.
atmospheric pressure is the
weight Of air above any point.
I'm a high cold air moves

'Tn q low warm air rises in
the center, forced up by cold air
flowing inward around the
edges in Q clOckwiSe direction.
"The rising air reduces the
pressure at the surface below
normal. AS the warm air rises
it is cooled, its moisture is con-
denSed and falls as rain. Hence
lows bring storms, rain and
snow"
These high and low pressure
areas are ever on the go across
the United States, travelling as
much as five hundred miles a day
and giving us the drought and the
billiards.

"While the same Seventy-thi

Congresses, acting under the die
tatiOn of President Roosevelt,
were refusing to consider many
meritOriOus bills concerning err

other technical bars against re-

same Democratic Congresses had
ample time to appropriate huge
sums of money for relief and
employment of aliens, several
hundred thousand, if not two or
three million, in number. Doubt
less many of this number had
served in enemy armies during
the recent war.
