II Hine Junior High
Students Tell Of
School in Broadcast
Community Pictured
Also in Rodio Series,
Your City and Nine

Seventeen students of Hine Junior
High School got lollipops at Station
WMAL yesterday because they were
so cooperative about throwing their
chewing gum away before they
broadcast The Stars weekly Wash
ington, Your City and Mine" series.
The students arrived soon after
9 to rehearSe the broadcast. Some
felt they could not get through the
morning without the support of gum.
but the studio officials persuaded
them to do without it. The lollipops
appeared as reward Immediately
after the program ended.
Students Listen In.
The broadcast was intended Ia
inform the listening classes in junior
high schools about Hine Junior High
School at Seventh and C streets Sc,
and about the community. Students
pointed out to one another from an
imaginary third-fioor music room
the Capitol, Supreme Court Building
and Folger Shakespearean Library,
near the school.
A visit made bv their class to the
Folger Library was described by the
eight children taking speaking parts.
James Reese and Erma Embry dis
cuSsed the Elizabethan stage and
musical instruments at the library,
but Richard Byrd was more i'm
pressed by the first edition OF
"Frankenstein," by Mary Shelley,
which is also in the collection.
Student "DirectS" Program.
Tom BroWnscombe was director
of the program, and shifted rapidly
from pretending to be William
Shakespeare to initiating Bill Coyle,
radio director of The Star, who
supervised the broadcast. John
Sherbert was more anxious to find
his own house than to see the Gov
ernment buildings in the community.
Other children taking dramatic
roles were Dorothy Zotz, George
Nash and Virginia Hudgins. They
were helped by Blake 3. Espey, radio
chairman of the school,; Mrs. Marie
Page, Mrs. Charlotte Sprenkel. Mrs.
Helen Opsata and Mrs. Inez Ward,
teachers.
The nine students selected from
the Senior Girls Glee Club TO sing
ShakeSpearean songs taken from
the plays were Anna Hales, Marian
Smith, Jean Owens. Pat Scott, Cor
nelia Whitener, Janet Casselbery,
Jeanne Dauley. Ruth Kestner and
Shirley Oakley.
The series is put on at noon every
Tuesday through the cooperation of
The Star, the Board of Education
and the National Broadcasting Co.

287 ARE KILLED IN u. S.
ON MEMORIAL HOLIDAY

One human life was sacrificed
every ten minutes in accidents
during the nations observance of
the Memorial Day holiday.
The accidental death list for the
first two days of the holiday
reached 287 Saturday night.
Crowded highways and streets
presented the greatest hard to

bered 1879. A national safety or

would be 400 automobile fatali-
ties by Monday. -s-
Six young persons lost their
lives in an automobile accident

Bio Increase In Federal
Budget For Coming Year

poration defense loans would
boost this defense layout total to
about $5O,OOO,O00,00
Government income of $9,402,-
100000 was forecast, representing
an increase of 81, 127, 100000 over
the estimate made in the original
budget submitted to Congress last
January 3. That figure, however,
Did not reflect the $3,600,000,000
in additional taxes which Secre-
tary of the Treasury Henry Nor
genthau, Jr., said were necessary
to meet rising defense costs
This. in brief is the new 1912

Spending --------17,385 22,169
Deficit ---------- 9,21O 12,767
eff the present defense program
progresses at the rate now con-
templated there is every reason
to believe that the estimates here
presented accurately reflect the
amount of cash to be paid out in
the fiscal year 1872" he said in
statement.
The revised estimate for de-
tense spending -$15,5OO, 100000
is still short by almost $10,000,-
100000 of the figure which the
office of production management
contends must be expended if the
defense program is to be carried
out on schedule.
Actual cash spending this fiscal
year is not expected to exceed
$6,OOO,OOO,OOO.
To-day, the defense program
as reflected in appropriations and
authorizations already made in
recommendations pending before
Congress is $4,000, 100000 or A.
5OO,OOO,OOO greater tn a n the
amount on which the January es-
Inmates of expenditures were
based" Smith said.
Necessarily, he pointed out,

fiscal year will not be completed
within that year and thus part of

fewer than 5000 military casual

June, 1910, and the end of April
During that 11-month period, pre-
vious government figures have re-
vealed, 35, 756 civilians were killed
and 1885 injured.

London. - Former King Pra-

He was the last absolute ruler

At the time the king was visit
