CONGRES PROVIDES
!’ FOR TOE SHORTAGE
: WASHINGTON.—A half-billion dol-
J, lar anchor to windward has been
provided by the house of representa
tlves against failure of the new tax
law to provide for the government’s
expenditures for the current year.
This anchor may be a life-saver
in either of two likely contingencies.
One—ls the new schedule of taxes
provided by the law fails to pro
duce sufficient revenue to cover the
total of appropriations.
Two —If the departments fail to
live within the amounts provided for
them under the slashing of estimates
by Budget Director Dawes.
In order to make possible an ap
f parent reduction in federal taxes,
which, politically, is declared im
perative, provision is made for_ in-
creasing the public debt by $500,-
000,000 during the year. The cash
thus raised would be used in lieu of
taxes in meeting the current ex
penses of the government.
How It's Done
This provision is inserted as an
7„' amendment to the Second Liberty
bond act, authorizing an increase in
the amount of that issue from $7.-
000,000,000 to $7,500,000,000, "to meet
public expenditures authorized by
law.” It is an index of the uncer
tainty and apprehension with which
congress views the whole revenue
• • situation.
The revenue needs of the govern
ment for the next year, despite any
reductions that may be made by the
budget commissioner or voluntary
economies within the departments,
probably will not shrink proportion
ately to the taxpaying abilities of in
dividuals and industries.
The whole range of returns from
Income and profit taxes and from
- customs duties has been so disar
ranged by existing unemployment,
Industrial depression and stagnation
of world commerce that the best
estimates of what revenue a given
tax will return is only a guess.
Huge Deficiencies
While the revenue bill thus guard
edly provides against a possible def
icit of $500,000,000 in government
Income necessary to cover appropria
" tions, there is a further fear lurking
tn congressional minds that despite
all administration efforts at economy,
deficiencies amounting to many mil
lions will be incurred in several de
partments during the year.
One reason is that the arbitrary
lopping off of $350,000,000 from the
estimates of sums needed by the
departments of war, navy and agri
culture, and the shipping board and
railroad administration, was appar
ently done with little consideration
for many claims and probable ex
penditures that will have to be met.
The result of this reduction, many
congressmen, including Republicans,
believe, will only be an Increase In
the deficiencies which will have to
be provided for next year.
Other Deficiencies
The deficiency bill for 1921 amount,
ed to $486,492,383. The 1920 de
ficiencies was reached in 1918, as a
- result of war expenditures, when it
amounted to $8,806,180,209.
The chief hope for forestalling a
deficiency this year, both in expendi
tures of the government over appro
priations and of appropriations and
expenditures alike over government
Income, lies in the salvaging of sev
eral hundred millions from supplies
and property acquired during the
war.
If the estimated deficiency of
$300,000,000 in the shipping board
alone can be avoided, either by the
sale of ships at junk prices or oth
erwise, the one biggest saving may
be made.
That it will be a saving at a sac
rifice of tangible assets will be the
least of the administration’s con
cern. The big thing will be to re
duce the necessity for taxes and to
keep expenditures inside the taxes
laid.
At present the government Is
-- spending far more than its estimated
budget. For July, the first month
of the new fiscal year, it spent sls,-
- 000,000 more than in July, 1920. In
the first half of August it spent $20,-
000.000 more than for the same pe
riod last year.

LOS ANGELES. —Jazz has cap

Blue limousines, the dansant habit
and drawing loom gambling are au
fait in the younger set in Shanghai,
This is the story which Edna
Booker, youthful Los Angeles globe
trotter, brings back after a year in
the Orient.
“Western society is really rather
slow after China,” said Miss Booker.
“You see it is dance, dance, dance,
morning, noon and night in Shanghai.
Everyone goes to parties. Afternoon
tea is an institution, and the Chinese
like the fashion as much as the for
eigner.
“There are three classes of Chinese
girls among the well-to-do in Shang
hai. One type stays at home —is
very much secluded—but passes most
of the time gambling and tea-drink
ing in her own drawing rooms.
Another type is as gad-about as
the jazziest western girl. She drives
in her limousine, studies foreign
fashions and modes, and dances.
“The third type is composed of
the student class who are either
studying intently or tutoring groups
of lower class Chinese girls in an
effort to spread education among the
masses of China.” »
SB REFUSES TO
■ESSLMH
CHICAGO, Sept. I.—George Ber
nard Shaw, author and playwright,
has declined an invitation to address
the Chicago Federation of Labor pic
nic Labor day, it became known
Wednesday.
“I do not think your federation
can gather a complete notion of Eu
ropean conditions from any one per
son,” said Mr. Shaw. “If you could
obtain a series of three addresses
from Kerensky, Lenine and from a
capable czarist, you would learn
something about Russia.
“If you could get a similar series
from England from Mr. Ramsey
MacDonald as a representative of
the second internationale, and from
the some equally able advocate of
the third Internationale, followed by
Mr. Winston Churchill as the repre
sentative of the British imperialism,
and by Sir Donald Mac Lean as a lib
eral non-interventionist (or George
Washingtonian), and so on, through
all the countries of Europe, hearing
all sides, and especially the side of
the existing governing classes which
labor misunderstands and leaves
contemptuously out of count unless
it is suddenly carried away by it
into a war; then labor would begin
to know its way about in questions
of foreign and military policy.
“At present it is so ignorant and
consequently so helpless when, a
crisis comes that nothing is easier
for a government threatened with
labor legislation than to set the
workers of the world to cutting one
another’s throats furiously and to
make a great deal of money out of
the process into the bargain.
“No address that I or any other
single man could deliver would make
much difference in this respect. An
address from Marshal Foch would
be far more instructive, because
three-quarters of the labor men who
are now denouncing him would find
that they liked him very well and
heartily agreed with everything he
said.”

WOMEN ARE ADDING INCHES
AS THE YEARS ROLL ON
PHILADELPHIA—They’re build
ing ’em bigger. Dressmakers say so,
corsetieres agree there’s something
in it, and now along comes cold, cal
culating science to explain why wom
en weigh more than they ever did
before.
Women are no fatter, say the
physical culture experts. They’re
simply larger, and here’s the reason:
The women of today are one and half
inches taller as a class than forty
years ago. Their chests are larger,
their waist lines have widened. Their
muscles have hardened. All this
makes them weigh more.
The changes, according to those
who have made a study of the sub
ject, are simple enough to explain.
Women, especially during the last
twenty years or so, gradually have
been converted from the clinging
vine to robust persons who are proud
rather than ashamed of the physical
feats they can accomplish. Partici
pation in sports has turned the trick.
“Time was,” explained William
Herrmann, a physical training expert,
“when a woman thought vigorous
use of the body and its muscles was
unladylike. All that has changed,
of course, and the gradual participa
tion of women in sports and various
forms of exercise actually has
brought about a change in her height
and her figure. The change in
height is not simply a case of ath
letics having taught a woman to
stand straighter. It is an actual
change that can be measured.”
In commenting on the change in
the feminine physique several Phil
adelphia dressmakers said the charnge
was principally noticeable in a high
er chest and larger waistline, but
that perhaps the change in waistline
was due more to the dictates of
Paris than any actual physical
change.
Mr. Herrmann, however, holds that
there has been actual shifting in the
figure lines.
“The old-time hip measurement has
disappeared,” he said. "This, of
course, does not actually mean that
the hip measurement has grown
hmaller, but the waistline actually
has grown larger, and gives that ap
pearance. Chests have been built up
because exercise has taught women
to breathe properly and slowly. It
will add to the years of their life.
To breathe slowly is to live longer.
The tortoise, the slowest breathing
animal of all, lives a thousand
years.”
Cement Men Face
Anti - Trust Suits
By the Government
NEW YORK, Sept. I.—A supple
mentary Indictment charging the At
las Portland Cement company,
eighteen other corporations and for
ty-four of their officers with viola-*
tion of the Sherman anti-trust law,
returned by the special federal grand
jury August 6, was made public last
night by Federal Attorney Hayward.
Most of the defendants are out on
bail on the original indictment.
They are members of the so-called
northeastern group of cement manu
facturers and dealers engaged in
the sale and shipment of cement in
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con
necticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia* and New York. They will
be notified to appear for pleading
September 6.
The supplementary indictment al
leged that the defendants, through
the Cement Manufacturers’ Protec
tive association, were kept mutually
Informed of the transactions of
competitors in their group according
to the “Eddy plan” of so-called open
competition. The government claims
that this method of doing business
is a cloak for unlawful practices and
that it is such a radical departure
from the old-fashioned custom un
der which business men attended to
their own business without consult
ing competitors, that its legality
must be submitted to the courts.
The second count of the indict
ment was drawn to test the question
whether the mere adoption of the
Eddy plan does not constitute a
contract in restraint of trade under
the Sherman law when the' law
holds all persons responsible for the
natural result of such adoption,
which is elimination of competition.
Alumni Recorcfßound
ATHENS, Ga., Sept. I.—The first

Brooks, the editor of the volume,
likewise retained a copy for him
self.
It will be recalled that the publi
cation of the Alumni Record is made
possible through the $40,000 dona
tion made by the class of 1921, which
was the initial step in the million
dollar drive, first step in the $3,500,-

HARDING’S STORIES
RIVAL FORUNCOLN'S
WASHINGTON —President Har
ding has become a rival of Abraham
Lincoln as a source of presidential
anecdotes.
For 50 years Lincoln has supplied
elementary textbooks with scores of
personal, human stories. Now comes
Mr. Harding—like Lincoln, reared in
a rural community, democrats —
with a small “d.”
And, like Lincoln, Mr. Harding has
the kind of personality that breeds
'anecdotes. Here are some:
The Make-Up Rule
Reaching in his pocket for a coin,
the president accidentally drew forth
a thin, worn piece of metal.
“My make-up rule,” he explained.
His gfluests were puzzled until the
president explained that a make-up
rule Is a printer’s tool of all work.
The printer uses it to pick up type,
to scrape dried ink from type—even
to open bottles and clean his finger
nails.
“I’m never fully dress unless I
have my rule,” the presideit said.
“It’s the badge of my profession-”
The Golf Tournament
The president was asked to pre
sent a cup at a newspaper men’s
golf tournament.
“That might put me in an embar
rassing position,’’ he said. “I might
have to present the cup to myself.
Os course, I’m going to play. You
can’t bar me—l’m a newspaper man,
am I not?”
The Senate Dinner
After Mr. Harding had delivered
his message to the senate on the
soldiers’ bonus, he attended a lunch
eon in the capitol with several of
his former senatorial colleagues.
“Who’s going to pay the check?”
asked one.
“Let’s flip pennies for it,” said
the president.
They did. And Senator James W.
Wadsworth of New York had to pay.
The Tower Man
The president was reading the
morning papers while taking a rail
way trip. As he finished each one,
he folded it up carefully. Then he
gazed steadfastly out of the win
dow.
“I’m watching for a chance to
give these papers to a tower man,”
he said. “Those fellows get mighty
lonesome out here all alone and
they’ll appreciate something to
read.”
Help’s Painters
A group of painters were making
the White House white.
“Let me show you how to do that,”
said the president, seizing a brush.”
“I used to paint as a bay,” he ex
plained. “Painted a whole school
house.”
Later, as he was washing his hands
in the executive office, he said:
“That’s more fun than I’ve had
since I’ve been president.”
White House Open
An old lady from a distant state
stood looking at the White House.
The president gave orders that she
be taken through the whole build
ing. Then she was brought to meet
him.
“I want the people to consider the
White House as their own,” he said.
"I want it to be open especially to
those who don’t often get a chance
to see flne things.”
President as Shopper
The president drove quietly to a
store in the heart of Washington’s
business section, dismounted and
went shopping. He selected a gift
for one of the executive household.
“I haven’t had much chance to
shop since I’ve been president,” he
remarked. “That’s one drawback of
the presidency. I used to do all the
family marketing—and I can drive
a pretty keen bargain.”
The Owl Story
A family of owls took up their
abode on the White House lawn. The
president summoned a jury of chil
dren from a nature study class to
pass on the fate of the night-hoot
ers. The children decided the owls
should stay.
They’re still there.
Army Surgeon, Wanted
For Wife Murder, Is
Found in New Mexico
RICHMOND, Va„ Sept. I.—Dr. Wil
mer A. Hadley, former army surgeon,
wanted here for wife murder since
December, 1918, was captured in New
Mexico Wednesday night bv Pinker
ton detectives. After he fled from
Richmond, a letter postmarked At
lanta was received from him here
stating that his wife had died in Por
to Rico and had been buried there, it
was recalled following announcement
of his capture. Dr. Hadlev was sup
posed to have been on nis way to
his old home in Harris county, Texas,
when the letter was mailed in At
lanta. The letter was received here
a few days before his wife's body was
found tied to tree roots in a secluded
spot on the banks of the James river.
The condition of the body indicated
that she had been dead several weeks.
Love for the army nurse at West
hampton hospital, where both were
stationed at the time of the murder
was presumably the motive for the
alleged crime. Mrs. Hadley was for
merly Miss Sue Kathleen Tinsley, a
talented musician of Cincinnati.

KANSAS CITY BUILDING

Reduction in Bank Rate Is

Northwest Leads Trade in
Section
BY DICK SMITH
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
KANSAS CITY, Mo„ Sept. I.
Building operations in this city, par
ticularly the construction of dwell
ings and apartment houses, broke all
records since 1916 in the month which
ended yesterday. The number of per
mits issued in August was 471, an in
crease of 167 over the corresponding
month a year ago. The money value
of the dwellings planned this year
was $2,137,950. as against $919,870
in August, 1920. The dwellings in
general range in price from $3,000 to
sales have been higher than
at any time in the last two years
in this territory. Lumbermen are
commenting more favorably on the
condition of their business than any
other group of Kansas City business
men, and say their sales now have
reached 80 per cent of normal.
Wholesalers here have been greatly
pleased with the success of the cam
paign to get 20,000 retailers in this
territory to come here for their fall
buying. More buyers have been in
this city this week than at any time
for a number of years.
The federal reserve bank of tins
district is considering the reduction
of the discount rate from 5 to 5 1-2
per cent and it is believed such ac
tion would impart a much faster tone
to the money markets. A heavy bul
lish sentiment is noticeaable in the
flour market due to the uncertainty
of freight rates on wheat. A ent In

BUSINESS PICKING UP
IN CLEVELAND DISTRICT
BY GUY T. BOCKWELL
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
CLEVELAND, 0., Sept. 1. —Busi-
ness as reflected by bank clearings
here, has quieted down somewhat in
late weeks, but certain lines of in
dustry have shown definite signs of
improvement. Much of this improve
ment is traced to seasonal fall activ
ity. A good volume of orders for
fall and winter trade is being re
ceived by manufacturers of women’s
wear and men’s clothing. Textile
plants are taking on more help ana
conditions in that industry are ap
proaching normal.
Inquiries are becoming more num
erous for steel products and condi
tions are more hopeful, although lit
tle business actually has been placed
in the district. Pig iron advanced
$1 a ton this week for the No. 2
grade, which is now quoted at s2l a
ton. This has been balanced by
reductions in the prices asked for
black, galvanized and blue annealed
sheets.
Building operations show improve
ment, there having been 164 more
permits issued during the last month
than for a similar period in 1920. The
total for that month, however, is
419 below the figures for 1919.
PACIFIC NORTHWEST LEADS
BETTER BUSINESS PROCESSION
BY PAUL C, HEDRICK
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
SEATTLE, Sept. I.—The Pacific
northwest is leading the procession
along the broad highway of better
business, according to Mason F.
Backus, Seattle banker, and member
of the board of the Federal Reserve
bank of this district. He based that
statement today on a summary of
business conditions in this territory
and cited the big demand for north
west coast lumber products and
equal activity in the canned and
fresh salmon markets in its support.
Bookings of trans-Pacific tonnage
for lumber products to Japan are
sufficient to cover all available ships
up to December 1. The reason for
this unusual demand is found in the
fact that the city of Tokyo has ap
propriated more than four hundred
million dollars to build streets,
widen thoroughfares, pave them and
construct new modern buildings.
Japanese merchants here assert
the oriental city was driven to these
steps because business there cannot
exist without the automobile, and
the old streets were too narrow and
crooked for motor traffic. The mod
ernizing of other Japanese industrial
cities will continue next year with
consequent demand for lumber from
Pacific coast ports.
Local retail dry goods business is
progressing slowly toward better and
more active times.
