Cost Payments.
It is necessary to make some adjust
ments in aggregate cost payments Of
local governments elsewhere, as re-
ported by the Bureau of the Census,
if they are to be comparable with the
net costs Of local services In the Dis
trict. To city expenditures must be
added expenditures of counties, school
districts, park districts and other local
governments where these overlap the
city jurisdiction. as they do in most
cities comparable in size with the DIS
trict of Columbia. In the Financial
Statistics of Cities. complied by the
Bureau of the Census, expenditures
and revenues of county and other over
tapping local units are. prorated to the
cities in proportion to aggregate as
sessments of property for taxes. This
method is here accepted as adequate
for the purposes of the comparison
with the District OF Columbia. since
the bulk Of local revenues is derived
from property taxes.
Expenditures made by the State
government also should be added. It's
cost payments cannot safely be pro.
rated to the cities according to per-
centages OF assessed values, for the
reasons that property taxes have be.

Due to the work os this most astonish-
ing device, vitality important signals from
the upper air are now being received con-
stantly day and night at four strategi-
eally located stations in the United States
and Alaska. This new system, according
to officials of the bureau, is revolution
izing methods of weather foreeasting and
is bringing a wealth of knowledge on
upper mir conditions never before obtain
able.
The Weather Bureau is keeping close
check on the accuracy Of the reports Of
these machines, and so well satisfied are
officials with results that within two or
three years they possibly will be used III
nearly every district in the United States.
Bureau scientists long have realized
that weather conditions on the ground
are affected by the upper strata. Over
period Of time devoted to study Of data
gained through these magicians of the

New York, April 9-(UP)-As one of the country's foremost baseball authorities Git was at my suggestion that Abner Doubleday introduced the seventh inning stretch I feel it would be niggardly of me not to tell you of the bets have hale on the coming season.
 With the possible exception of a perpetual motion machine, I can think of no sounder way for you to invest your money than to memo rize my wagerS and then run, not walk, to the nearest bookmaker. I would not care, however, to advise you on the size of your wagers. I happen to be a plunger at heart, and some of my bets run into serious money. For example, I have no less than $1.40 riding on my hunch that Van Lingle Mungo and Paul Derringer will win more games than the combination of Carl Hub- bell and Dizzy Dean.
 In all, have made IT bets, and if I win them all my pockets on pay off day will bulge with SPA in hard cald, crisp cash.
 Here are the 16 other bets
 Hank Greenberg, Detroit, will hit more homers than Jimmy Foxx.
 Lou Gehrig'S consecutive game streak of 1908 will end this season.
 Leroy Parmalee will win more games for the Cube than Paul Dean does for the Cards.
 New York City won't place a team in the world series.
 Gerald Walker, Detroit outfielder, will outhit Luke Appling, White Sox Slfortstop and last years American batting champion.
 Ducky Medwisk will top Paul Waner. National League hitting champion.
 { Lefty Gomez will fail in his come back and win fewer games than he has since 1884.
 Chet Laabs, Detroit, will be the best hitting American League rookie. Z The Giant infield that starts the season won't be the regular one ir August.
 Schoolboy Rowe will win more games that Dizzy Dean.
 Dizzy's gradual decline will con- tinue and he will win fewer games than he aid dast season. Also that his earned run average will be poor ca. ''

TARTAN BROWN HOPESF FOR GOOD
 FINISH IN RUN
May Be Among First Five, Indian Winner Last
 Year Says

Editors NOte-This is another in a series of articles by outstanding runners who will compete in the 4lst annual B.A.A. marathon April 19. Ellison Myers (Tarxan) Brown, 23-year-0ld Narragansett IndiaE of Alto, R. |, was last years winner. By ELLISON (TARZAN) BROWN
 Boston, April 9-(UP)-Despite an operation that kept me in a hos pital for month last fall, I feel as fast now as I did when I won the 1886 B.A.A. marathon in near record time.
 My decision to compete in this years race was made only a few days ago. That was when my doc- tor said 1t would be ok for me to run. You see, I hadn't done any running since my operation, but I figured that if laid off this year, I'd want to lay of all the time. So I'd rather run and take the chance of losing than get out of condition. I didn't start working out for the coming race until this past We'd l1esday night when I ran about five miles. Last night I did 10 miles. I plan to step it up five miles each night SO that by Monday I hope to go the regulation 26 miles, 1885 yards.
 This week I am concentrating on endurance. Merit week it will be speed. I'll start tapering off to- wards the end of next week. Last year my training was supervised by the Providence tercentennary com- mitSec. But nobody is backing me this year, so I'll be on my own mock. u
 This will be my fifth B.A.A. mar athon. In 1883 and 1884, finished 31st. In 1895 I was 18th and last year first. Except for my failure to finish in the Olympic marathon which may have been the result of the injury that necessitated an op- eration--l936 was one of my best years.
 After came back from Germany, I competed in six races and won them all. Three of them were over the full marathon distance and I won two of these on successive days one at Concord, N. H., and the other s.5 Port Chester, N. Y.
 At 157 pounds I am nine pounds over my running weight, but I am in good condition. I'll have to be because I think this years B.A.A. race vii be one of the hardest ever.
 Johnny Kelley (l935 winner) looks pretty good to me this year. He'll be the only one to worry abour. One of the dark horses" may finish second. And I think 1t will be battle between Walter Young and Mel Porter for third place. If Les Pawson runs like he did last summer, he ought to be up there among the leaders.
 I can't say where I'll finish. l hope it will be among the first five. I'll give a good account of myself.

 Bob Teller will win 15 of more games.
 That it is impossible to name three clubs which will finish above the Reds. My opponent said the Cubs, the Cards, and the Pirates.
 Ripper Collins will outhit his former teammate, Johnny Mize.
 Washington will win the American League pennant.
 All but two of the bets were made at even money. I got 30 to 1 by picking Washington, and my scouts sell me the Senators are. a swell long shot. My odds on neither New York club winning were 6 to1. should have had odds Gehrig's streak ending, but as I operate strictly on aHhuncil I took the even money. 1'Se irs " :=. e2e.
