SENATE ASKED
TO RESTORE
D.C.BUDGET
Commissioners Plead
For Original Esti-
mates House Cut

The District Commissioners and
four department heads in the city
government appeared before the
Senate subcommittee on District
appropriations today and asked
the Senators to restore the budget
estimates which had been slashed
by the House committee in the 1887
budget.
During the questioning, the city
heads were also allowed to explain
to the subcommittee the changes
made by the Budget Bureau in the
original estimate made by the Com
missioners.
At the conclusion Of the hour
and a half session, held behind
closed doors, Senator Elmer
Thomas Cd, of Oklahoma, chair
man of the subcommittee, said
the meeting had been devoted to
a general discussion and analysis
of the scope of the bill.
Aided by Donovan
The Commissioners were as
sisted in their explanation by Dis
trict Auditor Dan Donovan. After
the bill was taken up as a whole,
three department heads were
called in to give specific justifi-
cation for the increases asked for
in their departments.
The three who testified were
Acting Corporation Counsel Yer
non e. West. Director Of Inspec-
ton Hugh Dram and Tax Col
lector Chatham Towers.
In the House bill the build
ing inspection appropriation was
cut $500 by refusing two new
positions: in the plumbing inspec-
ton, the bill cut out three new
inspectors, one at 1900 and two
at $4,000.
The House bill cut the smoke
regulation item $4,000 by disal-
lowing two inspectors. The sum
of $4,000 was cut from the Tax
Collectors office by refusing an
assistant cashier.
In the Corporation Counsel'S
office the House disallowed 81, 800
to continue the salaries of two
assistants in 1887.
Asked Reinstatement
The three department heads
asked that all of these items be
reinstated. They were backed up
by the District Commissioners,
who showed that in their original
estimates they had asked for even
more help.
The. subcommittee will resume
it's hearings at 10 a. m. tomorrow
and stay in session all day. The
budget items for the Record Of
Deeds office will be the first con-
Sidered.

AS a permanent protection

This was decided by officials
of the National Park Service and

early today as CCC workers and
park laborers began the task of
clearing the mall of debris and the
unsightly sand bags.
The sand bags are being removed
to storage for future use, leaving

dirt will be graded and sodded, it
was announced, and when fin

Three "holes" will be left in the
levee-at Seventeenth Street add
at the two guard-houSe entrances
to the parking area behind the
Navy and Munitions buildings.
These can be filled in with sand
bags when an emergency arises.

water, in some places to depth
of six feet, were being cleaned by

PHONE SERVICE
NORMAL AGAIN

Telephone communication has
been established again with all
areas affected by last weeks
floods, it was learned today at the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company.
In some localities, however, such
as WilliamSport and Remove, Pa,
the service is on an emergency
basis and only certain phones in
the stricken towns can be reached.
In other cases, communication
is by means of a roundabout hook
up, where direct lines are not
available.
The record number of outgoing
long-distance calls during a single
day was set here on last Wednes-
day, it was learned, when more
than $4,000 calls were handled.
The previous record was 5000
calls. The extraordinary business
last week is said to be due to
anxious citizens trying to deter
mine the condition of relatives in
the inundated areas.

Social Security and Budget
Another major issue will revolve a.

~eason for rushing through the social
security act was the great menace of
Townsendism. Politicians, with their
cars glued to the ground tighter than
the average business leader, imme-

campaign. They quickly pushed thro-
ugh the social security act in order
to spike the Townsend guns. How
ever as the act now stands. it has
little dramatic appeal in comparison
with the gaudy promises of $200-a-
month for raising chickens as a hob

printing ess'-money type, but the
bad effects are only a question Of de-
gree.
Real Issue
Probably the easiest way in which
credit initiation can get out Of hand is
through reckless public spending. His
tory shows the latter has always de-
generated into printing press infla-
ton. Business today, although nine
per cent below normal is 18 per cent
above a year ago, and 60 per cent
above the depression low The neces-
sity for public pump printing must
be decidedly less than it was three
years ago. Yet there has been no
slackening in public payments. I'm
checked, this method of credit infla-
tion has brought disaster and chaos
to every nation which has tried it in
the past
Hence, the vital issue 'hefore Con-
gress today is: Shall we start now on
sound economy campaign or shall
we allow Federal spending to 90 on
unchecked? That issue dwarfs every
other possible plank in the platform
of either party. Congress. motivated
by political reasons, will probably con-
ceal the bonus, budget, and other
spending issues in a maze of bombast
and oratory But next November the
question of sound Federal credit will
be placed squarely before the voters
of the nation. Their answer will show
whether something -for-nothingism'
has. or has not, gained the upper
hand in the United States.

Heard ByMamyAt The
WeStEnd C01mtryClub

About two hundred people were pre
sent at the West End Country Climb
yesterday afternoon to hear Mrs.
Ellen Shipworth, of New York. speak
on Developing the small Garden "
Mrs. r. 7. Upchurch presided and
announced that the Lecture Club was
proud to have visitors from Middle
burg. Oxford, Warrenton, South Hill,
Rocky Mount, and Tarboro. Mrs.
X. G. S. Davis introduced the speak
err.
Mrs. Shipworth first stressed two
things that are essential to any gar
den: privacy and plan. The garden is
for the family. not for the community
and should be an outdoor sitting
room A plan is essential. She point
ed out that no woman would make
a cake without ar ecipe or cut out an
apron without pattern. Any plan,
no matter how bad, is better than
planting flowers and stubs without
any design in mind and the more
simple the plan the more beautiful the
garden. A walk, bordered by a flower
bed three by six feet, has all the re-
quirements of a garden, if properly
planted and two lilies are just as beau
tiful as field of lilies She advocat-
ed using a great deal of green foliage
to set off the vivid colors of a few
flowers.
She cautioned her hearers to strive
for beauty, not to strive for more
and more"
First decide what kind of a garden
you wat, whether spring or fall and
prepare the soil properly. 1t is bet
ter to put a twenty-five cent plant in
y five dollar hole, than TO spend all
your money on the flowers and leave
none for the flower bed.
Mrs. Shipman showed a number
of beautiful slides, all Of small flow
er gardens, and illustrated her points
in the picture, first showing plans
and then the growing garden. She
emphasized several other things, the
use of trees as background which will
tie the garden on to the distant view
and to the sky, and avoid a sudden
line of demarkation. the use of shade
in the garden, pointing out how beau
tiful shadows are on grass and flow
ers; to use Nature for pattern in the
planting and to plant your own ma
tive trees and shrubs, not ones exotic
and foreign.
After the slides, Mrs. Shipman dis
cussed several questions asked by
members of the audience. She advis-
ed them not to plant maple
trees as nothing will grow under them.
but to use Carolina poplar, oaks. or

trees must have shade as they do in
the forest. Mrs. Shipman was very
emphatic about the use of leaves, she
feels that it is a deadly sin to burn
them. as thus the humas of the soil
is destroyed and this is what happen
ed to all desert lands. Leaves are the
only plant food any growing thing
needs, save the leaves and after they
decompose, put them on your plants.
Mrs. Shipman was very practical
and clear and vitality interested in
her subject. 1t has been her lifelong
study so that today She is recognized
as the best authority on gardens in
America.
