FIVE RIIMMK AWM TO i iik uikuiwiiw nwiibu i IN 1920; (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. The record billion-dollar congresses ot ordinary peace times faded into the past today when Secretary Glass presenting the annual estimates, proposed appropriations of practically 5 billion dollars for conducting the peace time activities of the government during the fiscal year, 1921. According to these figures it will cost more than S times as much to conduct the peace time affairs ot government as it did in the year immediately preceding the world war. The greatest individual estimates expenditures, of course, go to the army and the navy. The yearly interest on the war debt, however, is $1,017,500,000, which sum alone is greater than all the appropriations for all purposes whatsoever of any peace time congress. All in all, the estimates Justify the predictions made on the floor of conrees, during consideration of the war tax bills, that the present generation would not see the government conducted at an expense of less than four billions a year. The estimated appropriations for the principal government departments were presented as follows: Legislative (congress) $9,025,297.25. Executive (White house and government departments) $149,111,463.77. Judicial $1,634,190. Army $989,578,657.20. Navy $542,031,804.80. Pensions, $215,030,000. Public works $283,921,810.17. Miscellaneous $833,717,637.96. Foreign intercourse, $11,243,250.91. The total of all estimates, including ome comparatively minor items not included in the foregoing is $4,865,410,031.62, the greatest sum ever askd of any congress when the country was not actually at war. Much for Army. The billion-dollar estimates for the rroy includes some $85,000,000 for the national guard. The normal peace time estimate for the army before the "war was between 10 and 15 millions. The $542,000,000 estimate for the navy includes provision for the program of Increase and is comparable to an annual estimate of some fifteen millions before the war. The $273,000,000 public works estimate includes the Panama canal, reclamation projects, divers and harbor improvement, public buildings, and also military works, arsenals and fortifications. An Item of more than $391,000,000 for postal services is reimbursable from postal revenues. The estimates for miscellaneous expenditures contain some tremendous sums. For the treasury department more than $247,000,000 is asked, which goes largely to the enforcement of prohibition, and the collection of income, corporation and excess profit taxes. For the shipping board nearly $48,000,000 is asked to wind up its program of restoring the American flag to DEMURRER FILED BY SMITH OF NEWS (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1. Sixty defendants of the 104 who were arraigned before A. B. Anderson in federal court today, entered pleas of guilty. Pleas of not guilty were entered by 43A demurrer to the indictment was filed by Delavan Smith, of the Indianapolis News.

Sentence was passed on 6 defendants, 2 of whom were sent to the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. Many Speak at Nazarene Missionary Convention The Rev.

w uwii wi wi MOST EVER DEMANDED the seas. Nearly $40,000,000 Is asked for the federal board for vocational education which besides being expended in coperation with the states for civilian education as the law provides, will be used in large measure for the reconstruction of disabled soldiers ot the world war. One item which has appeared peren nially in estimates without ever be coming an actuality appears again tnls vear with promise of being taken seriously. It is an estimate of $287,500,000 toward a sinking fund which ultimately is to retire the public debt which includes some thirty oil lions spent on the war. With annual interest payments on this debt now exceeding a billion dollars, and alone surpassing the total sum which the government has hither to spent in a year for all purposes in peace times, the treasury experts hope to convince congress that some real provision for paying off the huge sum must be made.

Miss Margaret SEA OF SALT IS SHRINKING, REPORT (By Associated Press) LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1. The Salton Sea in the Imperial Valley, one of the natural wonders of the West, is constantly . shrinking. At present it is about 18 miles long and nine miles wide at the greatest point. During the last five years, the water is said to have retreated about a mile a year, leaving a salt encrusted adobe land, which Is eagerly seized by homesteaders. Often their location stakes are planted far out in the water. The sea which lies 169 feet below the level of the ocean abounds in fish, mullet and carp, which local and Arizona capitalists are planning to utilize by erection of a great cannery. The United States department of agriculture reports state that about the Salton Sea lies the largest area of date producing land in the country. Geologists say the Salton "Sink," as It once was known, in pre-historic times has changed from desert to sea and from sea to desert fifty times or more. For centuries the Colorado riv er would flow quietly to the Gulf of California and gradually build up a sandbar across its mouth. Then some spring flood would cause a washout in the river's bank further north and the whole torrent would sweep toward the Salton Sink. The desert would be come an inland sea, remaining so for centuries, perhaps, until some great flood would carve out a shorter way to the ocean. The sea would be drained and the region relapse into a des ert. Mud volcanoes abound near the sea. a short distance inland. They are of all sizes up to great mounds 16 feet in height. They all emit steam, some in a steady stream, others steam and mud alternately. Many of them give out a sulphurous gas. At times their roaring can be heard for miles. Mast Love Yourself to Love Others, Says Rae Taking his theme from the. commandments: "Thou shalt love thy God; thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" Dr. J. J. Rae, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, pointed out at his morning service Sunday, the necessary love which man must hold for himself before he can "love his neighbor as himself". "Never can our lives be brought to the fullest and the commandments be obeyed until we think well of our6elves, said Dr. Rae. "If we do not think well of ourselves, then there is something wrong and we had better investigate, for until we are worthy we can not successfully love our neighbor as ourself." LADY ASTOR WILL TAKE SEAT IN COMMONS TODAY PLYMOUTH, Dec. 1. Lady Astor accompanied by her son, left Sunday for London where she will take her seat as a member of the House of Commons. Speaking with the Associated Press correspondent just before her departure, she said: "The people will be disappointed if they think I shall speak and act in Parliament as I have done during the election campaign. You don't talk too much it you want things done. Electioneering is one thing and legislating is another." MRS. VANDOREN ILL Word was received at Earlham college Saturday of the serious illness of Mrs. Lloyd E. VanDoren, at her home in Westfield, New Jersey. Mrs. VanDoren is the wife of Dr. Lloyd VanDoren, former head of the chemistry department at the college. She was stricken with paralysis a week ago, and her condition has been steadily growing worse. Dr. and Mrs. VanDoren were very popular among the faculty and students of the college, and have many friends in Richmond.
