And it soaked
Through his pants
And he didn't know
What to do.
And when the mother
Came for the baby
He wouldn't let her have it,
He had to keep it
AS a shield.
And his girl said
Why Harold

You were SO fond
OF babies.
And he hated
The whole race
OF babies
With deadly hatred,
And hated marriage
And love
And his girl
And his hosts
And most of all
The baby
And prayed only

From Inferior Budget
By House Committee
Congress Reductions
In Estimotes Now
Totol $2e3, ,000,o 900
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee today slashed q total OF t2,-
286,277 from President Roosevelts
recommendation for the Interior
Department.
The committee recommended
$1l9O71,1s7 for all of the depart
ment's activities. It's action pushed
the total of congressional reduc-
tionS in presidential budget esti-
mateS past $293, 900 900.
Disallowed was a 1885 $50 request
for new map-making project by
the Geological Survey. The COM
mittee said that since the maps
were suggested as being of strate-
gic military importance. the money
should te provided under the head
ing Of military appropriations. All
told, the Geological Survey was cut
$1,247,l50 below the Chief Execu-
tive's request.
Bonneville Dam Funds Cut.
Another reduction was in funds
for Bonneville Dam, in Washington
and Oregon. The committee al
lowed $5,650,000, or $1,000, 900 less
than the White House recommend
ed, for construction of a power dis
tribution system there.
On the other hand it increased the
appropriation for the all-American
canal in California from 81 900 900
to $500. 900.
The net reduction was made up
of the balance between many re-
ductions and many increases.
Other Reductions.
In the appropriation bill, recon-
mended to the House for considera-
ton late today or tomorrow, the
following major items were included:
Bureau Of Indian Affairs, $780,
497. .736-$456,125 less than budget
estimates; Bureau of Reclamation,
81, S,2l4, ,600-$l95, 900 less than the
budget: National Park Service, $8,-
948, ,770-$117,770 less. ..-
The total carried in the bill rep
resented q reduction of $29, ,789, ,443
below current appropriations for
the same functions, due chiefly to
cuts made at the White House be-
fore the estimates were presented
to Congress.
