East Chicago's tax levy for the following year was last night set by the city council at ninety-two cents on tis hundred dollars, the levy which was recommended by the city controller. The budget as recommended by the finance committed was changed in only one item and then passed at $743,13.23. The school city levy and budget were adopted as oiiginaily proposed, tha levy being set at twentyfour cents and the budget at $047.5?3. This makes a total levy for the city of $1.66. The action of the council rollowed directly after & public meeting In the city council chamber at which about fifty citizens were present to determine how the budget had been arrived at and how the money was to b-j spent. None made- any objections to the proposed budget with the exception of the item for expense of operating the city crematory. The board of wurks ha dasked for an appropriation of $3,000, the finance committee had recommended a reduction to $3.000 and the citizens asked that the entire $3,000 be allowed in order that the garbage might be properly disposed of. This met with the approval of tha council and the change was made. The council voiced an objection to continually passing appropriation ordinances and decided that the budRft for the following year should be
adequate for all purposes. With thisi in mind the council is now prepared! to refuse all appropriation ordinances' unless they have soma unusual merits, j When no discussion of the budget! was forthcoming at the beginning ori-
the meeting J. K.. Keppa took up each .tern of the budget separately, calling

Two views of the noiseless machine gun. A new invention that adds to the horrors of war is a noiseless machine pun that shoots :2,000 balls a minute. The balls are fed to tha hopper from a sack which is shown in the photo at the right. The photo at the left shows a close up view of the shaft that rotates at tho rate of 2,000 revolutions a minute. So rapid is the movement that it apparently does not revolve at all. The revolutions are caused by an electric motor.

derstood that young Christopher U la hiding in or near Chicago and that ha is with a youth by the name of Ash whom it is said prompted and led Christopher into taking the money. It is said that the amount may run into larger figures as the young teller had access to $40,000 and $30,000 in cash every day. The blond young woman in the case is said to be the daughter of a prominent banking official in a nearby city and the police authorities and privato detective agencies are making every effort to locate her, as it is believed that she will be able to lead them to'
Christopher's hiding place.

If you are unfortunate enough to contract the effect from poison ivy, take a bath in plenty of bicarbonate of soda. A pine lotion also is very good for snch itches and insect bites. Remember that, if mud (as wet as it may be found in a hurry), is applied immediately after a bee or wasp has stung you, the pain will soon stop and swelling be avoided.
