Screening In Winter.
Question: My porch was screened

Should this be taken down each
year. or would it be safe to leave 1t
up for the winter?
Answer-It would be better to take
1t down. Bronze withstands the ele-
ments. but there will be too many
chances for breakage from other
causes.

 STARRED AT COLISEUM

Beauty is the immediate and all- inclusive definition, for Always Goodbye" one of the finest in the chain of excellent 20th Gen. tury-Fox productions.
 Seldom does. a story such as the one which unfolds on the screen of the Coliseum Theatre tonight come to the attention of the fans with as much understanding and fine sense of the value of dramat- ic minutae.
 Tn the capable hands of co-stars Barbara Stanwyck and Herbert Marshall and under the fine touch of Sidney Lanfields direction, Al ways Goodbye" acquires the beauty of sheer simplicity in a story that is-on several occasions-conduciye to a lump in the throat.
 Setting beautiful tale of mod ern mother love before a kaleido- scopic background of occasional grimness, sporadic sorrow and yi- vacious, resplendent gowns on Fifth Avenue and in Paris, the film scintillates with the many facets of love that comes to it's characters.

NEW "BLONDIE" S HIT TO OPEN
 AS CAPITOL BILL
Penny Singleton, Arthur Lake Star in Comedy
 Film Here

The sensa tional success of "Blondie" has led Columbia to pro duce a second film based upon the same lovable comic strip characters the BunsteadS . Blondie, Dag wood and Baby Dumping. This new film, "Blondie Meets the Boss" opens tonight at the Capitol Thea tre with Penny Singleton and Ar thur Lake again featured.
 Said to be even funnier than it's predecessor, "Blondie Meets the Boss" opens note characteristic with Dagwood; he is in difficulty with his boss Blondie's effort to save his job for him results only in her taking his place at the office. Dag wood is forced to stay home and do the hCusework. Ensuing events are climaxed by a jitterbug contest. Dag wood inadvertently wins the con- test, but almost loses Blondie in the process.
 Penny Singleton, talented young stage and screen star, continues as "Blondie," the efficient young Mrs. Bumstead who is constantly having to rescue her blundering husband Dagwood from the troubles he man. ages to create. Lake portrays the irrepressible Dagwood. Baby Dump ling is again portrayed by little Larry Simms, the four-year-o whose magazine-cover photograph wen him the role. Daisy, the Bum stead family's dog, is also promin- ent in the cast.

Treasury Now Sees
S500,o00,00o Cut
In Deficit Forecast
S8,025, 100. Az Spent,
&,e49,63l,9l4 Token In
During Fiscal Yeor
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Treasury officials estimated yes
terday the Federal deficit this year
would fall $500, 900 900 short Of the
$4,000, 900 900 once expected.
Expenditures have been somewhat
smaller and income slightly larger
than they expected when they
mapped out the 50 500 900 900 spend
ing program about year ago.
They hoped the Governments
borrowing to finance the deficit
would put to work money that would
otherwise be idle in banks.
With six weeks Of the fiscal year
which ends June 80 yet to go, the
Treasury had spent $8,025 100, AZ
and taken in $4,949 631 ,9l4, creating
a deficit of $3,076, ,158,528.
On June 80. expenditures are ex-
pected to total about $500 900 900 un-
der the budgeted s95OO, 900 900 and
receipts about 5000, 900 900 over the
predicted $500 900, 900 making the
deficit $500 100000.
This deficit would be about on a
par with those in the heavy spend
ing years of 1884 and 1895, but far
below the peace-time record of 81
1853 ,842 900 in the 1886 fiscal year,
when the soldiers bonus was paid.
Next year, the deficit Is budgeted
for SO 300 100000, but some admins
tration advisors both in and out of
Congress are informally discussing
an enlarged spending program.
The public debt now is at a record
high Of $40.227 ,673,187. which Is So
063 ,000, 900 more than it was q yea,
ago.
