The Greatest Show On Earth
By John S1rure, T.

ltions of the Eastern Seaboard
were worried over a bill intro
duced in the House by Represent
ative Martin L. Sweeney Cd, of
Ohio.
The bill provides that all vessels
over is gross tons propelled by
internal combustion engines shall
be under the jurisdiction of the
Steamboat Inspection Service.
The bill appears to be Of little
Importance. But there is the Gus
tomary "joker."
When ships come under the
jurisdiction Of the Steamboat
Inspection Service they must carry
a licensed captain and engineer
if they are propelled by internal
combustion engines.
If this bill were enacted, all
small craft of the cruiser type and
others used. as pleasure boats
would be forced to carry a licensed
captain and engineer.
Furthermore they would only
work eight-hour shifts.
In other words, If a small boat
owner wished to take a trip over
the weekend he could only run
his boat eight hours per day and
then anchor so that his captain
and engineer would not work
more than eight hours.
Yacht owners say that the bill
is designed for the labor unions
so that they would be able to
put more of their men to work.
It is not a safety measure be-
cause it would cover small boats
of 80 feet or more if they were
of Is gross tons, so that the per
sons who now run small craft
would be forced to hire crews.
With these facts in mind, the
yacht owners who met at Hamp-
ton were somewhat perturbed
over the future of yachting.

CONVINCING

The House was considering a
measure to appropriate funds for
the convention of the Associated
Country Women of the World.
Representative Sol Bloom DJ
of New York wanted to raise the
request for $4,000 to $4,000.
Representative Jesse P. Wolcott
(R.) of Michigan, said:
Does not the gentleman think
II is rather preSumptive on our
part to give them $4,000 when
they only ask for $5,OOO?"
Bloom explained:
"NOw, they have nothing for
their convention expenses. They
come overland In their cars.
They sleep in tents. This $4,000
would not even pay the regular
expenses, such as the cost of q
hall, clerks, or anything else.
That is why the committee, after
listening to these women, raised
it from $4,000 to $4,000"
Wolcott announced:
"The argument Of the gentle
man from New York OVerwhelmS
me, and / withdraw my reServa-
tsOn."

Financing the Capital

Whatever treatment the Senate applies to the District
appropriation bill depends for its entirely upon
the method by which that body approaches the subject
of fiscal relations between the Federal and local gov
ernments
Until that subject is disposed of and unless is dis
posed of with wisdom there be little hope that in
dvidual appropriation items in the bill be corrected
Unfortunately for the prospects of obtaining
good bill the Senate committee UItich is starting
hearings today cannot be certain that any change
ucItch it makes in the Federal share UiU be carried
in the bill LUhen it becomes LnU.
The House cut the budget estimate for the Federal
share from $5,70O,O00 to $2,700,000.
The Senate committee will presumably return at least
ceed to remodel the expenditure items to fit the new
"bolt of cloth"
However, the expenditure items are altered to
fit the increase in total resulting from the in
crease in the Federal lump there possibility that
the House may again force compromise which would
cut the Federal figure.
SUCH PROCEDURE WOULD THROW OUT OF
LINE ALL OF THE EXPENDITURE ITEMS AND
WOULD LEAVE THE CITY IN PRECARI0Us
FINANCIAL POSITION.
It makes for uncertainty in all items and shows the
ipossbity of getting really scientific appropriation
through under the present system.
Either the Senate District Committee or the Gp-
preparations subcommittee handling the local bill
should nrOUe AT ONCE to obtain joint action of the
House and Senate looking tOIUard permanent bcsts
for fixing the Federal appropriation.

Alaska Aviation
Base Projected
Will Accommodate 1000
u. S. Army Planes

WASHINGTON, July 6. (UP).
First steps looking toward the
establishment of an aviation Dase
in Alaska capable of accommodate
inc 1000 planes have been taken
bv the Army General Malin Craig,
chief of staff, revealed in the Sc
lection of a three-member board
to select a site.
The move was described at the
war department as partial exc
cution of the Wilcox act, which
authorized the setting up of AVA
ton bases at strategic points
throughout the country. Sites for
others have yet to be announced.
In his order, General Craig di-
rected that the base be in the VI
cinity of Fairbanks. He stated
that the board will be given "the
layout plans of the installations
desired and such detailed instruc-
tons as NAV be desired"
Beyond that the cryptic order
gave no details. Spokesman for
the high command declared, how
ever, that the Alaska base, Will be
an extension of lain base to be
set up in the northwest at a point
not yet chosen.
The expectation that it will be
somewhere north of Salt Lake
CITY was expressed.
Officers said that construction
of the other bases will be carried
out in order so that in the event
of a mistake in the erection OF
any one, it will not be repeated.

ing its expectation on records of
past holidays, had anticipated 600
fatalities from all causes, with
motor vehicles accounting for at
least half.
The low death toll from traffic
was attributed in great part to a
widespread campaign, featured in
newspapers throughout the coun-
try, to warn the travelling public
and pedestrians of holiday dan
ger.
Physicians expected some who
received only superficial injury
from fireworks would develop
lockjaw and other infections from
improperly treated burns.
While the fatality total was
low, injuries from all causes were
numerous. Holiday liquor con-
sumption sent many to hospitals
and killed three in New York.
Shootings and Standings were
common.
Four persons were killed in an
automobile collision at De Kalb,

pletely it had to be cut apart to
