Crystal balls are no longer part
of the equipment of the up-to-date
soothsayer, but for several weeks
past government officials, business
analysts and experts in economies
nave been consulting their graphs
and tabulations-and then hand
ing down their pre-views OF 1910.
Most of the forecasts have been
optimistic in tone, but while there
are doubtless some reassuring signs
on the business horizon, it is only
prudent that the farmer, the busi-
ness man and the run-of- the mill
householder should recognize that
there are many imponderables and
unknown quantities still to be reck-
oned with--and that New Years
predictions are seldom good secur-
ity at the bank!
Caution
That small note of caution how
ever, need not be interpreted as
pessimism. There is good likelihood
that the national income for 1910
will exceed that of 1899. And 1910
well might mark the start back
toward real recovery-if the Amer
ican people and their leaders are
ready to recognize that they must
work their way out of the wilder
ness, instead of attempting to bor-
row their way out, If government
ends its foolhardy efforts TO sup
port half the people and pauperize
the rest; if private initiative is
once more given the "go sign to
develop trade and build industries,
instead of being sand-bagged by
political disciples of RECOMMENDATION.
From the national capital at
Washington comes a forecast by
the Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics that farm income for 1910 will
reach gross of ten billion dollars,
as against approximately $9,500,000,- :
900 (the Bureaus eStimate) for
1899. Figured into this prospective
income" however. are government
benefits payments which will total
around $750000,000 And such pay

upturn To the European war, which
has taken millions OF men out OF

FORMER RESIDENT
 IN PENETENTIARY
Joaquin BritO Calca Had Been Deported; May Be
 Sent Back Again

A waterburian deported a year and a half ago. seeking to return to the United States as a stowaway is now serving a six-month term in the federal penitentiary at Danbury and faces the prospect of being de- ported again, immigration authori- ties at Hartford have been notified. He is Joaquin Brito Calca,. 35, pos- sessor of lengthy police record here, who was deported in July. 1889, on grounds of moral turpitude.
 Calca, who was deported to Por- tugal, boarded the liner Exvalibur as stowaway but was discovered at sea. When the vessel reached New York he was taken into cus- toidy by federal authorities. After his identity had been established he was arraigned in federal court at New York last week and sentenced to the term at the new U. s. peni- tentiary.
 He was a central figure in several police cases here and the federal government stepped in after he had been arrested on a charge of oper- ating c house of ill-fame. He was sentenced to deportation, but he fought the case bitterly and through legal efforts he was able to stay in this country for a long time after the deportation order. But finally the order was affirmed and he was deported.

4,5SS PERSONS
 KILLED IN RAIDS
Total During November in England; Ground Total
 of l9,545 Dead

London, Dec. 17-(UP)-The air and home security ministries said to- day that 3588 civilians had been killed and 6,202 injured sufficiently to require hospital treatment in German air raids on all parts of the United Kingdom during Novem- Der.
 The period reported included the inauguration of German utter de- struction" raids which began with an attempt to reduce the city of Coventry to rubble and which was followed by all-out attacks on such major centers as Birmingham, Bris- tol. Southampton and Portsmouth.
 The home security ministry said that the dead included 2,289 men, 1,8O6 women and 493 children under 16. Injured included 3,493 men, 2,251 women and 458 children under 16.
 The number of casualties for Mo- vember was sharp decrease from October, when 6,334 were killed and 8,695 were wounded.
 The air raid casualties announced today brought the total since June 18th to 8 grand total of 19,545 killed and 27,620 wounded.
 The month of greatest casualties was September, when 6,954 were killed and 10,6l5 were wounded.

New City Ordinances, Charter Are Planned
Item Discovered in Budget Reveals Plans-Will Be Submitted to General Assembly If Passed
 By Aldermen

Plans by the city administration to submit to the 1941 General As- sembly a new city charter and to have adopted locally new and modernized set of city ordinances are revealed in quietly inserted item of 5000 in the 1941 city bud- get. The item, listed as part of the city clerks appropriation, is la belled Expenses incidental to re- vision and printing of City Ordi- nances and City Charter to be ex- pended upon the recommendation and approval of the Board of AL dermen."
 Modernization of the city ordi- nanceS has been under study for some time, and action was original ly scheduled for this year but not taken. Only a short time ago. Mayor Vincent A. scufly asked de- partment heads to recommend or dinances affecting their depart ments. It is planned to wipe obso-, lete ordinances of the books and to give the city an up-to-date code.
 The city ordinance revision should not take more than fraction of the 5000, and it is obvious that new charter, based on the present one but nevertheless with important changes, is planned. It will be re- called that unless the rules of the legislature are suspended the spon- sor of charter revision must pay the printing cost. The Citizens Good Government association learned this two years ago when Senator George T. Culhane declined to agree to 8 suspension of the rules and the or ganization had to pay the state in the neighborhood of $1,000 for printing the text of its city man. ager charter, which was later re jected by. the voters at special election.
 The new charter, under the ad- ministration's plans, would clarity many sections of the present char ter. In the process many sections of the charter revision bill spon- sored by Senator CulhaDe two years ago would be eliminated.
 The present charter was passed by the legislature in 1881, but so many amendments and sub-amendments have been made since then that many sections are either ambiguous, obscure or contradictory.

FRESH BRITISH
 TROOPS IN EGYPT
Rushed Across Western Desert Into Italian Libya;
 More Forts Fall
By PHILIP TAYLOR

(Unlted Press SCaH COrreSpOnuentJ.
 Cairo, Dec. 17-(UP)-Fresh Brit ish troops, rushed across the west ern desert into Italian Libya, have resumed the offensive against Port Bardla, nearest Italian base to Egypt, after capturing three more important frontier forts, British general headquarters said today.
 Musaid, Simi Omar and Sheffer- zen fell to British forces last night following British capture of Sollum, last outpost in Egypt before the Libyan frontier, and Fort Capuzzo, first Italian defense position of strength in Libya.
 Indicating the British intended to press on in an effort to take Bardia, today's communique said that fighting continues in the Bardia area where our pressure on the en- emy steadily is increasing as new forces arrive"
 The communiQue said that rains, which had slowed British opera tions, were over and that "otfenS- i've patrolling on a large scale" had been resumed.
