 Debris in Streets
 There is debris on the sidewalks and also floating down the streets.
 Stores had big run on for hip rubber boots and fortunately the stores are well stocked in the com- modity.
 Many homes have several inches of water over the floors and famil- ies have been driven out to the highlands, others taking refguge in hotels.
 Air Survey Made
 The Cinema River, this morning, had cleared itself of ice, Pilot Frank Pollock said after flight. accom- panied by Irving Mex Reed and an Associated Press man The plane survey was ordered by Mayor E. B. Collins.

BLAZE ELUDES
F|REFIGHTERS

Fourteen snorting fire trucks
arrived at the Second National
Bank Building, at 1881 G st. N. W.,
shortly after 10 o'clock this morn
ing, prepared to fight a blazing
building.
When they arrived the building
looked quite normal and the fire
men quite piqued. There was a
short conference and someone was
heard to shout:
'Tt's on the roof"
The fire department once again
was galvanized into action. Leav-
ing their fire trucks effectively
blocking traffic on G Street, the
firefeighters assembled the nine
floors to the roof, but they found
no blaze.
Bystanders guessed 1T was some
other building" Officials at the
Second National Bank ventured
the suggestion that it might have
been their oil burner.

u. 5. EXPENSES
MUST Be CUT,
WR|TERSAYS

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 25.
A sharp rise in Federal taxes, IN
cluding the income tax, can pc
avoided only if the washington
Government cuts expenses to the
bone or turns the relief problem
back to the States and cities, Earl
Goodwin, Of the Washington Times
editorial staff, told members OF the
New Orleans Association OF Com
merce today.
Business men were urged to de-
mand that promises OF economy IN
Washington be made good.
Speaking from close observation
of the workings of the Government
in Washington, Mr.. Goodwin de-
clared President Roosevelt must
show more interest in reducing ex-
penses than he has ever shown
before" If the budget is to be bal
anced and initiation avoided.
The real difficulty, he asserted,
lies in Congress, which, susceptible
to pressure from their home dis
tricts, have the mayors of the prin-
cipal cities of the country on their
backs, demanding that the Federal
Government continue to carry the
relief burden.
Quoting Chairman Mariner Ec-
cles, of the Federal Reserve Board,
as warning against further Gov.
ernmental borrowings, with infla-
ton as the penalty the country
must pay if this is not done, Mr..
Goodwin said:
"NOw to those on the inside
in Washington this means only
one thing: More taxes. More
taxes on the business man and
the cOrpOratiOn-unleSs the mat.
ter IL brought out in the open
and threshed out.
Budget balancing has not yet
assumed a program Of reduction
Of expenses. The President has
sent a couple of budgets to Con-
greSS wherein the figures fitted
nicely-and has warned Con-
gress that any expenditures out
side that total would have to be
made by taxeS-nOt borrowings.
But Congress itself has not
helped any in the reduction of
expenditures. In fact, one of
the paradOxes of our political
life is that every Representative
runs on an economy platform
and II elected serves his term
on a spending program. It is
tougher to save a million dollars
in Congress than anything !

At the end Of the platform she stopped. Then she looked down at the see of faces as calmly as though she were going to eat 0 dish of oatmeal. X. Drawing the Ordeal Not Q word. No coaxing could get her into the middle of the platform. A minute passed and no sound came from the little lips. ''1t's ruin," groaned her mother. T knew 1t all the time."

NEA Service Sum Writer The fact that your budget is e&s tremely limited is no excuse nt all for not being well grOoE1ed day in and day cut. AS matter c& fact, one who has only Q xew beauty preparations and . rather skiTnpy wardrobe often can learn to use the preparations more care- fully and to keep her clothes in better order than the woman who has drawer full of creams and lotions, more dresses than she can count.
 Absolute cleanliness is the fun- damental of perfect grooming, OG course. And, since soap and wa ter cost so very little, no one can offer lack of funds as an excuse for not being quite clean, fresh and dainty. The price of . daily bath, weekly shampoo and luhe- warm soapsuds in which to wash underwear and stockings every night is SO little that t couldn't possibly make a noticeable dent in any budget.
 Diminutive, too, is the cost Of enough electricity to heat an iron with which to press dresses and suits. And, although you may dread the initial expense, shoe- trees and hat stands are not ex- pensive in the long run. Neither are tiny metal curlers with which to keep ends of hair neat and at tractiye or a few necessary T1alli- cure implements to keep nails lovely.
 When you think of beauty and grooming in terms of soap and water, you are less likely to make excuses for yourself on the days when you know you are not lock- ing your best. If you think of it in terms of the most you can do with what you can afford, the eil- tire business of staying young looking and attractive through the years seems less over-poWer- ing.
 1t regularly and carefully each night. Remember that home made masks (egg, almond meal and so or) really are efficacious, that ices cold water, while not Q substitute for a good tonic, really does tend to keep cheeks firm, skin glowing with color. Lemon juice is one of the very best elbow bleaches, brushing alone will keep the aver- age hair lovely, olive oil is won. derful for @ dry saalp, chapped hands, rough ankles and heels, And there are half 6 dozen more worthwhile items right in your kitchen cupboard.

including his own. Then if you find he honestly rejoices with you, YOU have one friend in the world.
 Remember Sarah? She made a "poor" marriage and all her friends stood by" her. Every one was sympathetic. Jane used to let Sarah cry on her shoulder. She was even Kinder than that. She encouraged her to talk of her troubles. And afterwards she'd say, Poor Sarah" to her husband--and feel nice and snug because she hadn't made a mess of her own life.
 Playing Lady Bountiful
 Then there was Mary, who used to "do things" for poor Sarah. She made clothes for the children - took Sarah to an occasional show which Sarah never would have seen otherwise, and looked after the children when Sarah's husband came home so drunk she didn't want them in the house. She had 0 nice time playing Lady Bountiful'
 And there was Anne, who gave Sarah good advice. Who persuaded her that she ought to divorce her husband and felt smart as all get out because she had never married herself.
 And Margaret introduced Sarah to Tom, who married her and gave her more than any of her friends who used to help her have themselves.
 The Anvil Chorus
 Now listen to the conversation at the last bridge club when Sarah was absent (she's spending the win- ter in Tlorida):
 Jane: DO you really believe Sarah is happy2" l
 Mary: "she certainly seems to have forgotten all we did for her. Many's the time used to keep those poor children when Bob came home SO drunk that Sarah couldn't do Q thing with him."
 Anne: T thought she ought to divorce Bob, but think It's 6 shame she doesn't let him have the children for at least part of the year. Sometimes wonder if his drinking wasn't partly sarah's Ma Margaret: .well Tom seems to be crazy about Sarah now, but I'm not sure 1t will last. He's co much more intelligent than she is."

Individuals Mental Defectiveness
 Judged By Inability To Get Along"
E sG Reg. D. 6. Pas oR.

There are many types of mental defect, some of them associated with physical disturbances. There are some children in whom the brain has been injured at birth; others in whose brains fluid has acc cumulated. A condition known as hydrocephalus. children born with brains much smaller than normal are called miscTocephalic.
 Some children are born with e mental disturbance in the form ot idiocy; 1 mothers, the glands fall to develop and function propertly.
 Mental detectives may be divided into those whose brains have not developed properly and those who have complete abnormality of mem tal behavior: for example, insanity.
 People sometimes believe that one may 90 insane as Q result of shock. We realize today that shocks does not cause the insanity, but it may be the precipitatlng factors. Most people manage to adjust themselves to serious disturbances, but some people find 1t difficulty to make such adjustments. Mental training in childhood is an important factor in determining mental reactions In adult life. ,,ss
