B 12 PCT. OF BUDGET | GOES FOR DEFENSE Figures “at a Glance” Show Large Proportion Traceable to Nation’s Wars. By the Associated Press. President Hoover today gave the pub- lic his Federal “Budget at a Glance” for | those who have not the time to wade | through the staggering compilation of | figures which accompanied his budget message to Congress. The statement of today showed that approximately 72 cents of every dollar to be spent by the Federal Government ! during the next fiscal year must go to | pay for past wars and preparedness for | any that may occur in the future Only 8 cents of every dollar will be spent to keep the actual machinery of the Government functioning, 13 cents will be devoted to the social aids and subsidies and the remaining 7 cents to maintaining the Government's fiscal affairs. Of the $3,830.445231 which Congress | has been asked to appropriate for the fiscal year beginning next July 1, the sum of $2,733,213,283 must be provided for payment of principal and interest on the public debt incurred to prose- cute the war, outlays for pensions, hos- pitalization and other expenses incurred on behalf of veterans of former wars and for national defense—the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and National| Guard. i | All of the Government's extensive | activities, whether it be the public health, Indian affpirs, aid to labor and agriculture or the far-flung public buildings program, will consume only 13 per cent of the Federal oftl The total recommended for 21l these activi- | ties is only somewhat in excess of $500,000,000. ‘The statement of overnment. 9!(-‘ penditures at_a glance” was prepared for President Hoover so that the coun- ry could receive an intimate glimpse of where the taxpayers' money goes. The statement, naturally, is confined to Fed- eral expenditures and does not take into consideration outlays by States and municipalities. The total recommended to be spent next year is somewhat under that for the present fiscal year, not counting any appropriations that may be made to) carry on the work of the Federal Farm Board. The proportion of expenditures, however. is approximately the same for the various groups. In comparison with the total sum Tecommended, the comparatively insig- nificant outlay cf $300,307,860 is for th> executive, legislative and judicial branches, fiscal administration and con- trol of banking, foreign relations, ad- ministrations of territories and depend- encles, civil pensions, to assume the huge post office deficit and for kindred activities. In contrast to the nearly two and three-quarter billion dollars for past ~nd possible wars, only approximately § 500,000 may be spent for education; $51,750,000 for agriculture (exclusive of the new farm relief fund); $16,510,170 for aids to labor; $15,000,000 for aids to industry and trade and $57,300,000 for building up the merchant marine. The sum of $246,000,000 for public buildings throughout the country is the largest s'ngle item outside of those for outlays | pertaining to national defense, the pub- lic debt and veterans’ expenses. | LIDO SEASON IS OVER; ! VILLA D’ESTE’S STARTS Crown Prince of Italy Is Among Visitors—Lake Como Racing ‘Well Under Way. COMO, Italy (N.AN.A.).—The Lido #season is over and that of Villa D'Este at its height. Jisitors have brought their motor boats from Venice to Lake Como and racing is well under way. From Venice, too, has come the Crown Prince, who contrives to bring & wealth of charm to the parties he attends, in spite of the formal etiquette observed. | No one would dream of leaviyg before | the Prince, and it is the custom to drop a little curtsey before and afier dancing with him. But who minds a | curtsey for so handsome a partner, and | who would want to leave while he is | still there? The Villa D'Este Golf Club house is an ever-crowded rendezvous, and for | ¢ the tennis tournament there ds always a special ball. i Necklaces of iridescent crystal beads like soap bubbles are beirg worn by the Italian women, the soft colors peeping 'j out among the long curls at the nape of the neck. A striking visitor is the Duchess of Carraciolo-Laurino, who generally af- fects black and white for herself and striped woolly jackets for her two griffon dogs. WILD TOBACCO CAUSES DEATH TO LIVE STOCK; Herd of Cattle in Southwest, Driven Away, Returns to Feed on Poisonous Weed. 3 A : g Most _amateur smokers well know that our ordinary cultivated tobacco is poisonous, says Dr. C. Dwight Marsh | of the United States Department of | Agriculture, specialist in the poisoning | of live stock by plants and weeds ‘While nicotine, the pofsonous sub- stance in tobacco, is also present in some of the tobaccos that grow wild as weeds, it is not generally known | that these plants may cause sickness and death in live stock. ‘The weed known to botanists as Nicotiana trigonophylla grows in many localities in the relatively dry range areas of the Southw Ari- zona, New Mexico and fornia—and Utah. It vated tobacco, although the leaves are | mnarrower. After several deaths in a herd in Arizona the owner and Dr. Cramp of the Bureau of Animal 1n- dustry suspected the weed as the cause ‘They drove a herd of cattle away frow a patch and marked it carefully. Next day the cattle had returned and eaten the wild tobacco, and two were very sick as a result. These animals seemed to have acquired an appetite for the weed. Another wild tobacco, N. attenuata, | which is almost equally poisonous, 1s found, not only in the Southwest, but extending as far north as Washington Nicotiana glauca, commonly known as | tree tobacco, because of its shrublike growth, is also known to be poisonous 10 live' stock.

SAY SKIPPER APPEARED CONFUSED IN WRECK Kiowa Survivors Testify Crew of Lake Ship Was in Disorder for Time After Grounding. By the Assoclated Press. SENEY, Mich,, December 5.—Testi- mony that Capt. Alex T. Young of Duluth appeared to have “lost his head” after the steamer Kiowa was wrecked in Lake Superior was given yesterday in a Federal inquiry investi- gating the disaster which took five lives. Survivors said that the crew was in disorder after the boat foundered off Point Sable Lighthouse, in Lake Superior, Saturday night until Pirst Mate Arthur J. Cronth of Detroit took charge, and that the captain did not follow regula- tions in lowering the lifeboats in which he and 10 other members of the crew hoped to make shore and bring aid. It was testified that the Kiowa was listing badly as early as Saturday morning, and that it was feared for a| time she would sink. Members of the crew were ready to take to the life- boats, they said, when the freighter grounded. Earl W. Harvey of Marshall, Mich., who, with a friend, sighted the wreck as he, prepared to launch a boat from the shore, said he signaled the crew that he would notify the Point Sable Lighthouse, but that it was “hours be- for the Coast Guard arrived.” FRENCHMEN’S RETURN TO BEARD INDICATED Prevalence of American Customs Arouses Well Known Critic of Habits. PARIS (N.AN.A.).—Are we soon to see a return to the beard? Perhaps, for the preliminaries of & crusade in | the autumnal air. M. Maurice de Waleffe, well known critic of French habits and customs, feels that Parisians have been becom- ing far too Americanized. He has long | spectacles, and_although he wears no | beard himself. he says that the preva- |lence of clean-shaven Frenchmen | meanj the loss of a distinct French | type, and a good type, too. | There are those who fear the bearded | Frenchman is vanishing irrevocably | away. Montparnasse is becoming al- | most exclusively American since the | beginning of the vogue to live and work i in Paris that has now claimed Eugene O'Neill. | _What chance has the bearded | Frenchman of coming into his own when even the Chamber of Deputies has succumbed to a mew bar equipped with the very latest kind of cocktail shaker, brass foot rail and high stools? ‘The bar is decorated in the “art mod- erne” style, and has been constructed a room formerly used for housing theatrical property. Modern satisfac- tions for the thirsty have replaced many a canvas sunset and cardboard forest. Possibly M. de Waleffe would con- demn as another American develop- ment the central heating which con- stitutes an improvement in the cham- ber. The old system consisted of a great vertical stove, which, inaugurated | with the constitution, faithfully fol- lowed the National Congress in all its moves from the Palais Bourbon, trav- eling as far as Bordeaux in the war, to perform its duty of warming the deputies.
