The Commissioners tentatively
agreed late yesterday to slash between
SIS 100000 and $4,000, 900 from the
s65 100000 estimates of department
heads for the 1889 fiscal year and by
their action definitely removed the
specter of bond issue or another
increase in taxation in the coming
fiscal year.
The budget pruning process will be
undertaken this week, with indica-
tions that the AK will fall heavily

ments which sought substantial ap-
preparation increases for the 1899
fiscal year.
Decision of the Commissioners to
mutilate the departmental estimates
came at the conclusion of a two-day
public hearing on the 1889 budget
hearing which showed conclusively
that District taxpayers are vigorously
opposed to bond issue or any addi-
tional taxes to finance public improves
ments, irrespective of the urgency Of
their need. A 100000 tax raise
this year. it was developed, is just
about all the already overburdened
taxpayers can bear or want to bear
as long as the Federal Government
treats the District parsimoniously
with a s5,oo0,oOO payment toward its
expenses.
Improvements Postponed.
/ The position OF the Commissioners
with respect to the 1889 budget is set
forth by Melvin C. Hazen in the fol.
lowing statement:
1.-THE Commissioners have agreed in
mental estimates to a total which will
not require any further increase in
taxes. The taxpayers of Washington
this year must bear an increased tax
load approaching S9,000,000. The
clear sentiment at the public hearings
was against any increase in the tax
burden
There is no doubt many worthwhile
and needed projects in the estimates
Of our department executives. How
ever, it is a matter of necessity that
great proportion of these requests
slash the estimates very deeply in vir-
tually all instances. There is no
other way out of the present dilemma.

b;Idppt tn fit orr iDcop,a
The exact size of the 1889 budget
will be determined as soon as Mai.
Daniel j. Donovan, auditor and budget
officer, furnishes the Commissioners
with an estimate of the revenue that
will be available from taxes and all
other sources. Maj Donovan's Job
is extremely complicated this year
because both the new business privi-
lege tax and the 25-cent increase In
the real and personal property tax
rate, expire at the close of the current
fiscal year, June 80, 1938
Revenues May Go Up.
1t is likely, however, the budget
will be several million dollars in excess
of the s46,000,O0O appropriation for
the 1888 fiscal year. Commissioner
Hazen believes it may be possible to
frame s48,000,000 or $4,000 600
budget without adding to the tax
burden.
He pointed out the new motor
vehicle weight tax, estimated to yield
sl,5Oo,ooo, has not been appropriated,
and that money will be available for
use of the highway department in the
1889 fiscal year. In addition, he said.

Where Chewing Gum Came
From


CUM chewing is undoubtedly
~ Americas favorite indoor sport.
Although foreigners never tire of
sneering at its vulgarity, we COM
placently consume billions of sticks
every year.
The best chewing gum is made
from the chiclezapote tree in Mex
leo. It's gum was used for centuries
by the plains Indians there, who
chewed it to keep their throats from
becoming parched when they could
get no water. But it was unknown to
Americans until about 1870, when a
lump fell into the hands of Thomas
Adams, a Staten Island photog-
rapher.
BY nature, Adams was a "Get-
rich-quick- Wallingferd," always on
the lookout for quick way to make
a fortune. His first idea was that
he had found a new substitute for
rubber, but extended experiments
forced him to give the idea up as i'm
practical. A lot of useless stock was
left on his hands, on which he had
spent practically his last nickel.
One day he happened to pick up
a bit of the gum and chew it. To
his surprise, it was very pleasant
to the taste. Right then and there,
he decided to go into the chewing
gum business.
He set up small shop and cold
his product to nearby dealers. Or
ders began to pour in, and in a few
years the fad had swept the nation.
When he died he left his four sons
independently rich.

A Fashionable Operation

IKE everything else, operations
- have their periods of fashion
and popularity. An appendicitis op-
Grafton today is considered hardly
more serious than having tonsils
removed.
But only seventy-five years ago
such an operation had never been
heard of. Interestingly enough, the
first appendectomy was performed
by wounded soldier on himself. At
the battle of Gettysburg, a young
Union soldier was very seriously
wounded in the abdomen. For sew
eral days after he was taken to the
hospital, his appendix exuded from
the wound, and could be held in
place only by tight congresses and
bandages.
One day while his nurse and doc
tor were out of the room, his bandage
became united and fell off. Find
ing the appendix again outside the
wound, he picked up pair of scis-
sors from his bed table and shipped
it off. Since there are no sensory
nerves in that part of the intestine,
he felt no pain.
The doctor was Mortified when he
found what the soldier had done. He
was Immediately moved to the SER
ious casualty ward, and everyone
expected him to die. Instead of that,
his convalescence was pleasant and
rapid. Thus was a new surgical
operation born.
But when surgeons began general
ly to perform appendectomies, they
met the united opposition of the
press and pulpit. According to some
papers, having the appendix out
caused one to lose all sense OF moral
proprieties. Whether moral or not,
it soon proved to be the cure for
what oldtime doctors called "stom-
ach fevers," from which so many
people had died.

next morning Kilmer apologetic-
ally laid on his desk the manu-
script of the poem "The White
Ships and the Red" 1t was a
brilliantly imaginative po m
which was destined to be heard
around the world and to stir the
feelings of men in every land. In
it Kilmer envisioned the wreck
of the LWSitania, red from the
horror OF the deed, going down
to the bottom of the ocean, there
to join the ghosts of those which
had been sunk by storm, ship
wreck and iceberg.
But Kilmer did not limit his
indignation against those respon-
sible for sinking the Lusitania to
writing poems. On April %, 1917,
just II days after the United
States entered the World war, he
left the Times and enlisted as a
private in the Seventh regiment
of the New York national guard.

Shortly before the regiment left
for Spartanburg, S. c., Kilmer
was transferred to the 165th in

Henry Mills Alden, wife of the
venerable editor of Harper'S
Magazine. 1t was published in
book form under the title of
"Trees, and Other Poems," in
1915.
Other poems were dedicated to
his friend and boss" Alden
March, Sunday editor of the
Times. On that April day in 1917
when the news of the sinking of
the Lusitania was flashed across
the Atlantic, March called Kill
mer to him and said that he want
ed a poem to be used as a page
feature in the Sunday Magazine.
At first Kilmer demurred, saying
that he could not write anything
good enough for such a subject,
nor for such prominence.
But March insisted and the

''It is fitting that monument

"I have learned with much in

at the dedication. "It is particular

Capacity for Happiness
Grows as One Develops

If there be pleasure in the ex-
ercise of any faculty or in the
performance of any function, then
there will be more happiness, the
more the faculties are increased
and enlarged. Then, the more
faculties one possesses in number
and the loftier they are in degree
and the wider in range, the more
the capacity for happiness
If, then, you will make a man
capable of all the happiness that
is possible to a man, you must
develop him, you must broaden
him, deepen him, lift him, until
you make of him all that is pos
sible to press into the definition
of a MANN. J. Savage.
