SECURITY FUND
INCREASE IS SEEN
Informed Sources Say Congress
Will Be Asked to Hike Appro.
priation 20 Per Cent.

By the Associated Press.
Congress may be asked soon to ap-
prove = 20, per cent increase in So
cial security appropriations for the
next fiscal year.
Informed persons said the annual
supply bill for expenses for independ-
ent Government agencies probably
would contain q request that Con-
sress set aside 1923, ,soo, 900 for the
Social Security Board-S55,459,0 900
more than for the current fiscal year.
Chairman Altmeyer of the board
estimated in confidential report to
Congress that that agency would re-
quire s41S,ooo,ooo in 1910 and $780,
100000 in l945.
Mr.. Almeyer asked the Budget Bu-
reau to approve an appropriation Of
$397 ,907. 400 for the next fiscal year,
but that agency reduced his request
by about $68,000,000.
The chairman explained that about
$41, 100000 of the SIS, 5000 In
crease approved by the Budget Bureau
would be used for old age pensions.
He estimated that about 81 per cent
OF the persons IS years old or older
would receive assistance in the 1899
fiscal year.

byrd BACKS SLASH
IN i. s. ROAD AID
Senator at Same Time De-
mands Ak on Government
Extravagances.
By the Associated Press.

Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Vir-
ginia yesterday coupled statement
that he would support President Roose-
velts proposed reduction in the Fed
eral appropriation for roads with a
demand that at the same time "the
extravagances and luxuries of Govern
ment get the ak, and by a major opera
ton"
Since July /, he said the Federal
Government had spent $500, 900, 900
more than in the same period Of last
year, exploding "the myth OF spending
ourselves into prosperity
I'VE are spending as much or more
than ever, and times are getting worse, u
he said "Our revenue will not reach
the estimates because Of the business
recession I predict that the deficit
for the fiscal year 1898 will be more
than double the estimate made.
Drastic Action Necessary.
THE crisis is great, and drastic and
determined action is necessary to avoid
huge increase in general taxation,
because our financial solvency demands
that the budget be balanced soon"
Senator Byrd said he not only would
support the proposed reduction in Fed
eral road funds, but would support
ANY other expenditure reduction pro-
gram he (the PresidenD proposes
i am. confident" he said, that
those in the Senate with whom have
been cooperating for four years in
support Of balanced budget will do
likewise. as We recognize the perilous
situation that faces the country. We
are now in the eighth consecutive
deficit year"
Waste in Bureaus.
First, however, he said expenses
should be reduced by the savings that
would come from eliminating the
waste and extravaganza that exist in
the overlapping and duplicated activi-
ties in hundreds of Federal bureaus. F."
In four years, he said, Federal en-
ployes in Washington have been dou-
bled, the ordinary expenses of Gov
ernment, excluding emergency expen-
ditures, had been increased by 100
per cent, and so new agencies and
many more new bureaus and sub
divisions" had been created.
This Federal jungle at Washington
offers vast opportunity to save
many millions Of dollars without Inn
pairing the essential functions Of Gov
ernment." the Virginian declared.
Legislation is not necessary except in
few instances, as the savings can be
made in the budget"
Supports Road Fund Cut.
Senator Byrd said he would support
the road fund reduction, although he
believed that money spent on roads
was for one "of the most useful pur-
poses"
Il do not agree with the President
in that road building furnishes little
employment" he added. 1T not only
furnishes much employment. but pro-
vides it near the workers home, which
is infinitely preferable to the waste OF
the 'boon-doggling' that exists in other
projects. II we cut roads and other
useful projects, we should save by
economy in all Government opera
tions. The 100 million saved by this
cut Is only small fraction Of our total
expenditures"

saw are as distinct as they would be
if the saw were photographed standing
still with ordinary light.
DR.. Hires photographs show that
in a thimbleful of water there are
approximately 100000 900 900, ,000.-
100000 molecules, and a good breath
OF air for the average man contains
about the same number. He puts it
another way:
Suppose dogs back contains TO-
900 hairs per square inch and that the
dogs pelt has an area of square
feet. If each molecule in a thimble
Of water should turn into a dogs hair
there would be enough hairs for
1000 ,ooO. 900, 900 ,ooo,o 900 pelts. and If
these pelts were turned into rugs they
would make five rugs each large enough
to cover the whole surface Of the
earth"

Total fines and forfeitures collected
in Police Court during 1897 amounted
to $47l ,974.46. Last years collections
totaled $468, ,3326l, or a difference Of
$3,641.S5. Traffic fines and forfeitures,

with some confidence in the free
calling case, since the error will be
in general on the safe side)
The extreme difficulty of the prob
lem. DR.. Huntington said. may be
appreciated from the fact that the
number Of combinations possible with
the deck Of Is cards is the jaw
breaking figure of 623,360, TAB, ,125, 100.
One has presumably approximately
one chance in that figure Of guessing
all Is right by chance alone.
Even among the mathematicians
there were few who ventured to
criticize the technique but not the
mathematics. One member of the
group said that an experiment SINH
lar to those Of DR.. Rhine had been
performed In the faculty club at the
University Of Chicago and that one
faculty member had gotten all rs
right, because, as he admitted, the
cards were transparent and he could
see through them.
Ruled Out At Duke.
II happen to know said Prof
Huntington, that any such thing is
entirely ruled out at Duke. We can't
be responsible for the way the ex-
pertinent may be performed by very
stupid people
Prof Berenstin Of Columbia Univer-
sity, world famous statistician, said
he considered the proofs presented by
DR.. Huntington and others on the pro-
gram as a final and conclusive answer
to DR.. Rhine's mathematical critics,
but that he himself would be better
satisfied If regular deck OF playing
cards were used instead OF one spe-
cially devised for the purpose.
Joining with Prof. Huntington was
Prof. H. T. Davis OF Northwestern
University, who announced that he
would be willing to sign a statement
upholding DR.. Rhine's mathematical
results.
Not Questioned, He Says.
80 far as know not a single
mathematician or statistician who has
gone into the problem questions them"
he said in an interview.
A paper presenting the logical out
come OF the statistical method de-
vised by Prof, Sterne was presented
by DR.. B. H. Camp of Wesleyan
University.
1t is noteworthy that, on the math-
ematical question. there was not 4
single dissenting voice at q meeting
attended by several hundred eminent
mathematicians.
The defense offered now. said Prof
Huntington. would have been impos-
sible six months ago and the findings
forced on the statisticians by the Rhine
experiments is considered a major ad-
vance in mathematical science.

II 1t were not for the Panama and
Suez isthmuses. good deal of North

q new hypothesis Of ice ages pre-
sented here yesterday by DR.. William

City.
II these distractions were out Of
the way, he said. there would be a
broad equatorial ocean highway
around the earth. There would be no
currents of warm water ocf1ected
northward to make milder climates.
This can be seen by looking at the
surface Of Jupiter which moves with
reference to the sun 50 that the We
locity Of rotation diminishes fr,m
the Equator to the Poles. That would
Be the case with the earth If it were

5,0OO-Year-Old Mystery,

This is the skull of young woman
enclosed in narrow-necked clay jar,
found by an American expedition ex-
cavating an ancient habitation site
in the Indus Valley in India. 1t. is

The queer thing about it is that the

in that part of the ancient world.
