An increased bite into the
Montgomery County taxpayers
dollar today was termed "in-
evitable" by County Manager
Mason A. Butcher as he sub
mitted his 1923 budget rec
concentrations to the county
council.
Dealing only with the
county's budget, exclusive of
school board expenditures, Mr..
Butcher presented a request
for 5000 million for operations
and $10.4 million for capital
OUTLAWS.
The cost of school debt serv-
ices. which by law must be ham
died by county authorities, will
require an increase over last
year of 7 cents on the dollar,
Mr.. Butcher said.
Any new tax rate, however,
still is a matter for conjec-
ture, pending completion of
the board of education's 1868
million budget, which goes be-
fore the public at hearings be-
ginning March 26.
The present tax rate is $2.53
per 500. made up of $185 for
schools, % cents for school debt
services, 7 cents for pay-as-you-
go expenses and 80 cents for
county expenditures.
Sees Record Budget
Although he would make no
educated guess on the eventual
tax rate, which is up to the
county council, Mr.. Butcher
said:
"a record budget is reason
able to expect"
The aSsessable base, he said,
has increased from 81 $3.50, 000,-
900 last year to STA billion at
the present time.
In his message to the coun-
Gil, Mr.. Butcher said that in
creases recommended "are gen.
orally in line with the increased
work load resulting from popu-
lation growth"

The snow forced closing Of

the District government, were

were recorded this morning:

Four-foot drifts were reported
at Winchester as wind piled the
snow more deeply.
This was the heaviest late
winter storm in Washington
since March 10. 1858, when the
District was submerged in eight
inches of snow and Fairfax
County, 16 inches. 1t was the
18th snowfall this winter and
the only one deep enough to
require snow ploWs here.
Cause of Storm
The storm was caused by the
collision of two intense low
pressure systems, one moving
up the classic route of Wash
ington'S weather from the
Southwest and the other whirl-
ing up the coast from the
Carolinas. The heavy snow,
high winds and strong tides
were the result of a meteorolog-
ical game of tag between these
two forces, with Washington
and the surrounding country
side near the center of their
meeting.
Automobile traffic was not
too badly troubled in the Dis
trict, where much Of the snow
melted into soupy slush that
splashed everyone impartially
but neither froze hard nor i'm
modified motorists. The Ameri-
can Automobile Association said
the relatively warm tempera-
ture kept trouble calls to the
average for any day early in
March.
1t was a different story on
roads to the north, east, south
and west, where temperatures
were below freezing and the
snow piled up deeper and
deeper as the storm continued.
Maryland and Virginia high
way maintenance crews faced
a huge snow removal task. Fall
ing trees and doWned power
lines also slowed the road
clearing work.

clear up one traffic jam on
Route 301 between Port Royal

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 6.-Mont-
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties have almost cornered
the market on Republican can
didates for Statewide office.
With the deadline passed for
filing in the May Is primaries,
it appeared certain that the
Republican candidate for Gov
ernor would come from one of
the two Washington suburban
counties.
Former Gov. Theodore r.
McKeldin of Baltimore took
himself out of the guberna-
torial race yesterday, leaving
some disgruntled party leaders
in his wake.
Barring Withdrawals OF
write-in candidates, the Re-
publican gubernatorial pri-
mary has this lineup: David
Scull, Silver Spring real estate
man; Frank Small, jr., Prince
Georges banker; Mrs. Karla M
E. Balentine, Bethesda real eS-
tate woman, and Joseph L.
Pavlock. Silver Spring business
executive.
Contest Is Set
The race probably will boil
down to a contest between Mr..
Scull, former chairman of the
Republican party in Montgom-
cry, and Mr.. Small, former
Representative from the 5th
District. Mrs. Balentine, As
year-old mother of two, filed
yesterday because Republicans
in the State "had been hedg-
ing" Mr.. Pavlock also was a
last-minute entry.
There were some last-day
Democratic filings, but it was
the Republicans who kept
things up in the air almost
until the midnight deadline
last night. OF the 10 candi-
dates for Statewide office in
the Republican primary, 10 are
from Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties.
Some Republican leaders ex-
pressed resentment that Mr..
McKeldin waited until the last
day to say he would not run.
They felt other candidates
were kept out of the race be-
cause Mr.. McKeldin was ex-
pected to run.

Keldin would rum" said G. o
r. Chairman D. Eldred Rine-

mary himself but by the time

tive committee will not indorse

man to himself in the primary
He said, however, that he de-
cided against running after

The
Rambler
Looks For
Signs of Spring
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Sunday was a day that
could not be spent indoors.
The Rambler sailed forth
at 3 o'clock looking for signs
of spring.
He has to report that he
failed to find many except
for crocuses and wild garlic
coming up in a neighbours
lawn.
The little boys were rolling
themselves down the terraced
lawns. The clear, cool day
sunshine at 40 degrees-filled
them full of pep.
You just had to do some
thing.
The Rambler took a walk.
1t makes him sound like an
old crouch but he must ex-
press the thought that boys
who were boys so years ago
had more fun than these
kids waiting around for the
welcome ring of the Good
Humor mans bell.
On such a day as this there
would have been kites in the
air, homemade kites. Boys
would be knuckling down as
they shot marbles in the mud
or played mumblepeg. Tops
would be spinning on the
sidewalks.
The street would be
chalked off for hopscotch
for tie girls. The boys
would be playing one old cat
with an old broom handle
and a short piece of it whit
tied to a point on both ends.
Then down the street
would come the proudest boy
in the block with his new
vehicle. We called them
hobs.

SEAMS
TO ME.
BY PATRICIA SCOTT

I highly recommend lining
an apron for slacks to avoid
creasing, even though the
ticking is firm. Since the
apron will hang loose from
waist to calves, where elastic
holds it firmly, it will also
fit quite snugly when the
wearer is seated. The extra
body helps avoid its looking
messy. However, it can also
be made unlined.

Question: I must enlarge a
dress form from size 80 to
size 36. I'm long from shoul-
der to waist so there is quite
a gap between the two
points. How can 1 fill the gap
so that material won't indent
when working on it? Many
thanks for your short cuts.
Mrs. H. F. D.
Answer: I'm glad I've saved
you time and trouble with
my hints. To reShape your
dress form, take cotton bat
ting (sold in large flat wads)
and pin it to the form wher-
ever the extra size is needed.
Keep adding layers until all
measurements are correct.
However, as you reach the
points where padding is un-
necessary, graduate the wad-
ding so it doesn't end with a
lump. Now, baste all the lay
ers of W dding together
while they are on the form,
using long helter- skelter
stitches so that you can take
the wadding off in one piece.
Cut an outside lining of un-
bleached muslin, fitting the
muslin over the padding on
the form. and, cutting a
front and back. Leave side
seam allowances large en-
ough to overlap each other.
Pin the muslin pieces to
the form; pin in bust darts;
overlap the side seams and
then slip stitch the seams
and the darts closed while
still on the dummy. Find the
new waiStline and baste
black twill tape over it to
serve as a guide when fitting.
Finish the top and bottom
edges of muslin padding with
twill tape.

about 1l2 inches. I have the
same problem with shorts.
Mrs. P. M.
Answer: Commercial pat
terms always have lines
printed on slacks and shorts
for lengthening and shorten
ing. On slacks there is line
from waist to crotch and
from knee to bottom edge.
For your benefit, and that
of others who must shorten
SlackS, follow the illustration.
For lengthening Gig. u,
cut the pattern along the
line and spread the pattern
the desired amount. Insert
tissue paper underneath and
pin it or use cellophane tape
to attach the pattern and
the insertion together. Do
the same at either or both
points that need lengthen-
ing.
Use a ruler to straighten
out your seam lines, retaining
the patterns original shape.
For shortening, follow figure
2, this time folding the pat
tern the amount necessary
along the line. Pin the folds
and straighten the seam
lines.

son just around the corner,

should I use? Mrs. r. H.
Answer: For duck and
other very heavy fabrics,
such as canvas, use mercer
lied heavy duty cotton
thread, or No. 40-60 linen
thread. You'll need a No. 18
m achine needle. Eight
stitches per inch are just
