United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, June % UP) = Treasury statisticians prepared to- day to close the books for the 1888 fiscal year which began with few weeks of recovery and slumped into almost II months of accelerating de- pression.
 The treasury will report the small est net deficit of the New Deal and the greatest federal revenue since President Roosevelt took office in 1883.
 But back of those figures are facts which foretell the end of the down. ward deficit trend and cause some unofficial estimators to believe that the 1889 fiscal year will turn up with the largest net deficit of the depres- sion-recovery period. That record now is held by the fiscal year 1886 when the treasury went into the red by $4,360, ,6O0,000.
 MT. Roosevelt, however, feels that treasury prospects are much more hopeful than do those who believe a humping deficit next year will boost the national debt well over $40,000,- 0,OOO.
 You may get all kinds of impress sions," MT. Roosevelt said on April IA in a fireside chat outlining his lending spending plans, "in regard to the total cost of this new program, or in regard to the amount that will

 SPECIAL SESSION
Reduction in Rank Voted for Accused Officer;
 Splendid Record

The board of police commission CTS, at 8 special meeting at O. clock yesterday afternoon, found Patrolman Frank Smith guilty of drinking while on duty and or dered that he be reduced from Grade A to Grade B patrolman for one year. The reduction in rank carries with it loss of 25 cents a day in pay.
 Patrolman Smith entered plea of not guilty to the charge. He said that last Tuesday, before goingj on duty, he had couple of glasses of beer. While working at the cir GUS grounds, he said, he had some ice water, and he became sick to his stomach.
 The policeman was suspended by Supt. William J. Roach after he had been sent to headquarters from the circus grounds by Sergeant Barney Burns. The latter said that Patrol man Smith had been drinking, as did Captain Frank Cutting, who ex- amined him at headquarters.
 The commissioners took into con- sideration the fact that Patrolman Smith had never before been Up on charges and that he had an excel lent record during his IA years on the force.

900. On the basis of those estimates MT. Roosevelt in October said he ex- pected the deficit at the end of this fiscal year to be $695, 100000.

of the condition of the treasury as of now with that for which MT. Roosevelt estimated some IA months ago. First estimates for this fiscal year were submitted in January, 1887, approximately IS months ago. But they were not complete because they did not contain any estimate for recovery and relief. In April of last year, however, MT. Roosevelt revised his budget estimates for this year giving complete figures. His es- inmates then compared with condi- tiOnS today are as follows.

The overall picture of this fiscal year compared to last is that revenue is sharply up-by almost $1,0O0, ,OOO,- 000-and spending and the deficit are down. All three factors are fla vorable and in the direction of budget balancing. They are offset by the almost unacceptable change of direction to be taken during the next twelve months in spending.
 But the full impact of adverse conditions on treasury prospects is better illustrated by a comparison

Treasury to Report Smallest Net Deficit of New Deal Revenue in Past Year Heaviest Under Roosevelt

pc added to the national debt.
 "The net effect on the debt of the government is this-betWeen now and July 1, 1939-15 months away the treasury will have to raise less than $500, O,000,0OO of new money"
 The current 1888, fiscal year will end at midnight June 30. When It started one year ago the recovery movement still was general along the economic and industrial front. But by August of last year there began a slump which by late au- tumn, was developing into the most precipitous in our business history.
 As this year ends the stock mar ket is bouncing out of the depths under impetus of variety of con- troversial factors, including the sud- den pressure of the administration lending program for which the session of Congress just ad- journed provided $5,691 100000.
 Tremendous appropriations by this last session of Congress, combined with a substantial lag of revenue, have led to estimates that the de- felt in the fiscal year beginning July may come close to $5,000.00,- 900.
 As the fiscal year end approaches the condition of the treasury now as compared with the comparable day one year ago is as follows

RecelptS .......s....ss..
 Net Deficit ..................
 MT. Roosevelt still was over-es- timating revenue and underestimate ing expenditures and the prospec- tive deficit in April. Again in October of last year he revised his budget figures, reducing the revenue fore cast to $6,650, 0,00O,000 and increasing his spending budget to $7,345 ,O00,-
 Expenses .................
 Receipts ......
 Net Deficit ...............
 Disparity between treasury esti- mates and the outcome of this fiscal year arises from variety of causes. In revising his budget figures last January MT. Roosevelt said that de- clining tax receipts-caused by de- precision conditions which officials generally at that time did not &C., knowledge-and congressional ap- propriation for which the executive department had not budgeted were largely responsible. Those conditions were substantially con lin g throughout the remainder of the year although by mid-Winter MT. Roosevelt was revising his spending program upward to cope with the unforeseen depression relief load.
 His expectations were so confident last autumn that on Oct. 19 he or dered early liquidation of the Pub lie Works Administration and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation both of which were forbidden to make further commitments. The ban on new REC commitments was quickly lifted to permit emergency crop loans and the Congress which met last January authorized at MT Roosevelt's request renewal of big scale PWA operations.

has Sown;
Censure will come from the world L
he's bad,
But his mother still loves him, he's

Some mothers boy and her dream hac

That he should be one of the best a.

Waiting the turn of the tide Of his

Lift up his cross for a little while
Help with his burden Of doubt and

That his heart may respond to a

RADIANT LIVING
From the Height of His Cross
By Rev. C. M. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor of
DEALS Island. Md.
Deals Island, Md

Dedl 1SIduu, NAus
The cross upon which Jesus was
crucified elevated Him above the peo-
pie. From it's height He could look
out over the surrounding throng and
see the city just beyond.
There it lay, it's white walled houses
reflecting the sunlight crowded in to-
gether by it's own inclosing walls as
though they were the arms of an oc-
topus seeking to squeeze the city still
closer in the embrace of deadly big
otry.
But beyond the city He could see
the blue hazed hills of Judea. How
free, inviting and hospitable they ap-
peared to be! Beyond those hills lay
vast world of humanity that knew
nothing of the tragedy that He was
now suffering for their sakes.
Someday by the faithful heroic eff
forts of His disciples who were with
tear-streamed faces, looking up to
Him, that vast world which lay be-
yond those hills would come to know.
They will then believe. They will then
love!
1t is from the height of the cross of
persecution that Christians today
catch vision of the triumph of the
cause for which they are suffering.
From the height of ones cross he
can look far out beyond the immediate
present, far beyond the present suf-
ferings; he can look into the future
unto that day when God shall bring
into realization that for which he is
seemingly suffring for in vain.
No suffering for Christ is in vain.
God will someday redeem it by a
glorious fruitage!

These young ones of ours, with their
superior ideas around breakfast time
regarding the desirable qualities OF
mush, often fray mothers nerves and
send father away to the office NUT
tering something about stubbornness
being an inherited female quality.
While breakfast dawdling seems to
be almost a universal habit of our
loved ones between the tender years
of 2 to 6, blame need not always CEN
ter on the youngsters. There are many
reasons why children make a prac-
tice of trying to evade the mush bowl.
The desire to dominate is one of the
first traits to manifest itself in every
cherub who has scarcely attained the
moist pinkness of 6 weeks. A lusty
howl, refusal to suck on bottle and
the household ceases to be orderly and
all attention is directed to the infant.
Wise mothers, unless there is ply
sical upset, ignore such tatics and that
is how well behaved babies are train
ed.
Well behaved 5-year-olds are still
more difficult matter, for every
month added to a child's life makes it
reach out for greater dominion in it's
small world. But here again, COM
plete Indifference to antics often
brings about speedy adjustment of the
eating problem.
1t should be remembered, however,
