BUDGET PROVING VALUE. The way to save is 10 suvti, may ba a. trite saying, jet it is the only method and it is the one which Burget Director Dawes is pursuing. lie was Lamed for the pott he occupies for U10 purpese of delving into expenditures and finding where unnecessary outgo could be lopped off. He is succeeding. He has found $350,000,000 that can be saved to the taxpayers. The greater part of this immense sum will be clipped from the war department, navy department, shipping board and railroad expenditures. This saving is to apply to the current year, not next year or the year following. - A few years ago this sum would have been a large proportion of the total annual expenditure, but then we had not had the war pile up our indebtedness mountain high. It is well worth saving now but. as great aa it is, it will not have the appreciable effect on the total of taxes that we might wish for. Yet it shows what can be accomplished and if General Dawes in looking over the ground this year is- able to discover $:i5o.0'.)0.ooo the expenditure of which may be avoided, he vindicate.? the value cf tbe budget and demonstrates his own efficiency. Because the amount is comparatively small in comparison with the total required by the government does not lessen its value. That effort is made to diminish the outgo is the essential feature. Occasionally some complaint la heard tha war taxes prevail in time of peace. We did not Day cash down for the war and we will be paying for it for a generation to come. There Is no way to avoid that sit

uation and be honest. We have the debt and we must discharge it. Yet because bonds must be paid and government carried on It would be unwise to pay 50 attention to economies because what could be saved in that way would constitute but a small proportion of the sum we cannot avoid paying. Every dollar that 1 conserved is cf value.

tousorial ornamentation have shocked the more elderly and stain. He remains unmoved. He says the girls may wear their dresses as high at the bottom and as low at the top as they please. They may roll down their stockings any distance, so far aa he is concerned. And they may paint and powder their faces and bob their hair to suit their tastes. That, said the superintendent, is a matter between the giris and their parents. If the parents are satisfied, that makes It satisfactory to him. School authorities, he explains, have no business to interfere with any pupils manner of dress and no right to interfere with parents' porogativea one cf which is tbe right to dress their children as they want them to be dressed. The school superintendent at York is probably old-fashioned enough to believ his neighbors can attend to their private affairs wlthoot orders from his office.

LESS HASTE IN MARRIAGE. Connecticut has been a state that catered especially to couplc-s seeking marriage. It has had the reputation of being one place whither the love-lorn could flee and have the knot tied almost without appreciably checking the rpeed cf the ear. It was a place, too, where they were not even curious whether there were previous marriages undissolved. If the man had the price and the girl, he need not mention that he ha another wife at home. For illustration read the An-drews-Tatnall case. This reputation brought much business to the parsons and justices sf the state. It was a source of easy money. However, the legislators appear to have concluded that if less baste were manifest in getting married the knot might be tied tighter and hold longer. At least they have passed a law requiring that five days elapse between the application for a license and the issuing of the same. This, doubtless, is intended to give those contemplating matrimony time to reflect, 'it will have the effect, necessarily, of preventing a couple from falling in love, proposal and acceptance and getting married all in cne afternoon. It means at least some deliberation, a longrr wait than is often the case. Preiously the loophole permitting one man to have two wives without being guilty of bigamy had been closed. These regulations should tend to make marriage

In Connecticut a bit more important than Inviting a girl to have an ice cream soda. It may rob some parsons and justices of business and may present a discouraging outlook to some lawyers who specialize in divorce cases; otherwise it should have a c"od effect. Marriage is not. a summer afternoon's picnic but a serious matter. If It is not entered into seriously it is likely to be more serious.

A FASHION NOTE for men says "simpleness and naturalness" will characterize men's appearance this fall and winter. Most men can furnish the first essential.

AN OLD-PASHI0NED MAN. In these days of frenzied criticism of women's clothes, men's habits and a general spirit of intolerance about trifles, it is more than merely refreshing to find ft man In a responsible position whose feet are firmly

but not stubbornly planted upon familiar ground. It is inspiring. The superintendent of public schools of York, Pa., has been petitioned, perhaps besieged and nagged by excellent people of good intentions to banish from school all girls whose ultra-modern dress and

IN GARY, the cost of necessities has dropped materially. Divorce lawyers have cut their fees from $100 to $50.

Despite the stories that Charlie Chaplin has all London at his feet we scarcely expect to hear of the king's standing in line to catch a glimpse of him.

SOME BARBERS do not appear to discern that to shave prices is the way to do more shaving.

MEMBERS OF THE K11 Klux Klan' call themselves the "Invisible empire." A lot of folks can't see it.

Centenarian and Then Some Gives Three Rules to Assure Longevity

INTERNATIONAL HEWS SERVICEJ PKFlA.sl'K, Ohio, iv.-pt. liiving a hundred years r move is .'i simple matter If you tske the word of Francis Ferdinand Mekus. who a few days ao celebrated his 110th birthday. When asked his recipe for a long life he said: "Quit eating nick-nacks.' Eat only solid, substantial food. "Walk when you have to go anywhere. Forget the flivver. Use your leys, and. finally "Tlay lot of pinochle." Sounds pimple, but the De.fience eentenarlan says that observance of these three rules has seen im safely to a life spaa far beyond tiiat enj y . by the average man. and from nil appearances he is good for many a year mere. So far as food goes he Is a. lover or plain and simple fare. Pie and cake

Jxnjf wnlka and c-nrris are hi;i diversion. On his one hundredth blrmday he walked nix mile.s and then .jr down to a hearty noon-da meal.

"'hat doe. he think of prohibition" the interviewer asked. "It wouldn't be safe to ask Mm." the daughter said, and refused to translate th' query. On the tobacco question, Mr. Meku. is a distiniet liberal. When not eating, during his waking hours, he always has a pipe in his mouth.
