Principal problems facing the fl. nance commissioners, In addition to the demands of city workers for higher pay, are the increases of costs of material and equipment, the need for an increased appropriation for participation in national defense, requests of major departments for larger appropriations and need of additional public Improvements.
 Good Factors
 On the favorable side are an eX- pected large increase in the grand list, Q i04i city surplus of S400 900 or more, availability Of several ap- propriationS that were almost un- touched this year and the continuing excellent record of tax collections.
 The finance board, under the charter, must complete It's proposed budget and send it on to the board of aldermen by the fourth week of November. The aldermen can re. duce any item by c simple majority vote but can add new items or in- crease appropriations only by a two- third vote.
 Rate 3i AEills
 The present ai-miil rate compares with 32B mills last year and 90 mills ala 7DSD, a'a'4sf-' ss"4'
 There seems little chance that city employees win win any general in- crease on a permanent basis, but there is still possibility that q tem- porary bonus plan may meet with some favor on the finance boards part. The most likely action on raises however, is in the form Of adjustments" to bring the pay of low-scale workers up to meet in.

SENATE SENDS SHIP ARMING BILL TOHOUSE Last Step in Crucial U. s. Foreign Policy Action
 Nears HOUSE LEADERS
 CLAIM MARGIN Senate Approval Won SO to 37; Senator Johnson
 Sees War Ahead
BY JOHN R. ZEAL

 (Unlted Press staff COrrespondent)
 Washington, November 8. - (UP) = President Roose- velt's drive for authority to deliver American war weap- ons in American ships to bel ligerent ports today faced It's final and crucial test in the House after winning Senate approval, 50 to 37. House leaders, who plan to call the neutrality law revision bill up for consideration Wednesday, the day after Armistice Day, said the lower chamber would endose 1t by 0 mar- gin of 30 to 76 votes. Opposition leaders disputed this and promised a fight.
 The neutrality law revision bill originated in the house, limited to repeating the section which prohibits the arming of merchant ships. It was approved 2b0 to 1SB. But when the Senate passed iS last night t carried authority for American ships to enter belligerent ports and pass through combat zones.
 Leaders had not decided whether to ask the House to accept the Senate version or to send 1t to con- ference. The former course was in. dicated, and had parliamentary priority.
 But instead of the usual one hour granted by House rules for dlscus- sion Of motions to recede and con- cur in Senate amendments Speak, Or Sam Rayburn was planning to provide at least one full days de- bate, in view of the importance of the legislation.
 The day the House passed the Bill, the nation learned that one of It's destroyers-the Kear- ny-had been torpedoed, at 6 cost of II lives.

Police. Old Timers
Tie Gall Game 1919

The Cambridge Police and
Cambridge Old Timers were tied
up, 1919 after the recent hec-
tic ball game at Russell f. Hoyt
Playground. The game was
rather weird, with eccentric
fielding and throwing Sy both
teams. The Police were the
stronger batters and kept the
Old Timers on the run most
OF the game. Many of the Old
Timers, quite tagged out at the
end, had hard time getting
dressed, Buster Grant was the
star batter with two triples and
double. Gillian was outstand-
ing with his flashy fielding at
first base and kept the game
alive with his comical chatter
around first base. The largest
crowd Of the year attended.
This game was sponsored by
the W.P.A. Colored Recreation
Project.

BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE
Observation-Disclosures

Time was when one spent
long tiresome hours massaging
the scalp to promote thick
luxuriant growth of hair, not
so now-use the vibrator. Not
only does it wake up the dor
mant cells and shock the hair
roots into activity, but it is
soothing to the nerves as well.
We all know that quiet nerves
promote the growth Of the hair
also. After the vibrating of the
scalp, apply some good oil to
the roots and it will be easily
aSsimilated into the hair roots
A woman's glory is her hair and
every smart woman may be so
glorified.
