FRANGETO BOLST 1S ARNED FORCES Extraordinary Budget of $430,000,000 to Go for Reinforcements. By the Associated Press. RAMBOUILLET, France, Septem= ber 21 (#).—Marcel Regnier, minis- ter of finance, revealed today that Prance’s extraordinary budget of 6,- 500,000,000 francs (about $4%0,000,- 000) will be devoted almost exciusively te reinforcing the nation’s armed forces. The minister, following a cabiret meeting at which Premier Laval charted a cautious course of avoiding war -entanglements, declared “tne needs for national defense in the present circumstances” had forced the cabinet to approve such a budget for 1936. Internal Loans Planned. It will be raised by internal loans, he added. s The cabinet, after hearing news of Italy’s rejection of the League of Na- tion’s peace plan, called off iis after- noon sesston. In producing his balanced budget, Finance Minister Regnier promised the extraordinary budget would 1list | all expenses heretofore charged to the treasury and covered by loans. The main budget was reported to be 40,000,000,000 francs, but Regnier withheld the figures until it is for- mally presented to parliamentary committees. Tax Campaign Planned. The cabinet approved the finance minister's decision to crack down “with pitiless rigor” upon those refus- ing to pay taxes with evident bad faith. This interpreted as applying to the peasant front, which has or- ganized tax strikes, The cabinet also approved a decree to retaliate against those nations re- stricting the travel of their citizens in France.

NSTRUCTIONS in breathing may become a part of the training of airplane pilots operating at high altitudes as a result of the experi- ence of a test pilot at the Anacostia Naval Air Station during the course of an altitude run a few days ago. The pilot was at an altitude of about 25,000 feet over Washington and the flow of oxygen in his mouth thfough the tube felt normal and appeared to be sufficient. At this time he was busily occupied recording data when suddenly he appreciated that he was becoming very “foggy” but could not explain to himself what was the trouble, Suddenly he realized that in his pre- occupation he had been breathing normally through his nose while mere- ly holding the tube in his mouth and so was getting no oxygen at all from the tank. Pilots who cannot remem- ber how to breathe may be equipped with clothespins on their noses, it was pointed out. * %k ¥ k COPPER HOUSE. The Capital, with its building boom, has been made a laboratory for experimentation in homes, There are more experiment houses here mow than in any other city, including a copper house, steel houses, precast architectural con= crete houses and other things new in residential construction. ke FOREFATHERS WITH FORETHOUGHT. ’I‘HE architects who designed the Senate and House chambers in the Capitol apparently had great fore- thought and visions of the now-come mon air conditioning in large build- ings, for the air in these chambers comes in washed and purified and reg- ulated to any desired temperature. Not only could this be termed a modern improvement, but the chambers also possess mechanical heating and light- ing appliances that are invisible. The solution to all of this is two chambers, | one of which is 3 to 5 feet deep below | the floor, where heat is forced up through tiny apertures beneath the | | members’ feet, and the other above the ceiling, which houses innumerable | electric lights that diffuse a soft day- | light glow over the two large rooms. The air beneath the floor is heated | by contact with some 10,000 feet of steam colls, which is driven through by huge fans, 12 feet in diameter. Fresh air entering through great ducts on the west terrace, is ozonated by electric discharges, which accomplish | the puritying effect, just as lighting | does during a Summer storm. The used and fmpure air escapes through inconspicuous vents in the ceiling and is pumped out by other fans. The Senate chamber was completed in 1859. * N ko FUN WITH DRY ICE.

If a coin is pressed down flat and held there with a pencil it will make a noise resembling that of a buzz saw. Care must be taken not to hold the coin down with the hand, how- ever, or a burn may result. R PUZZLE IN NAMES. JUST why the little group of apart- ment houses clustered around the 1900 block of Q street should have acquired their salty names is not ex- actly known. ) Says Mrs. John R. Williams, who owns them: “If you can tell me, you're smarter than I am.” At any rate, there they are: The | Anchorage, at 1900 Q; Moorings, at 1909 Q; Galleon, at 1929 Q; and Cara- vel, around the corner at 1603 Con- necticut. Perhaps there are more, but at any rate we know that the Anchorage is the home of a couple of naval officers, as is likewise the Caravel—just to keep the atmosphere of the names alive. It may be that the names were chosen somehow with the proximity of Dupont Circle in mind. The circle got its name, you know, from old Samuel Francis du Pont, American rear admiral, grandson of Pierre S. du Pont de Nemours, the French au- thor and economist. Rear Admiral du Pont, born in New Jersey in 1803, got the rank of commander in 1845. In the Summer of 1861 he stormed Port Royal Harbor for & victory. Next year he became rear admiral and commanded the fleet of monitors that | later met defeat at Fort Sumter. Iron- | sides was his flagship in this en- counter, du Pont died in 1865. SR VIGNETTE.

YOUR friend the milkman, as you may not know, %due to the fact| he is charged with losses to thieves on his “beat,” becomes by necessity quite a detective. | Not long ago the resident of a Bel- | mont road apartment reported to a dairy that his cream was being stolen nearly every morning. As the dairy promptly charged the delivery man instead of the customer with the cream, the milkman naturally took interest in the case. After investigation he concluded | the son of the janitor of the apart- ment was the guilty one. The boy. he found. was passionately fond of cream. So, without revealing that he suspected him, the milkman in an ofthand way told the youth he was going to poison the cream. This stopped the thefts only tem- | porarily, so the milkman got finger- prints from one of the empty cream bottles, obtained the boy's prints by getting him to pick up another bot- tle, and took them to police head- quarters. When he found the prints matched, he accused the youth and threatened to tell police. So the peo- ple on Belmont road now are getting r Silver coins warmed a bit in the ; ¢ oo cream each morning.

CHICAGO, September 21.—Henry Hull, star of “Tobacco Road,” averted an incipient panic at the Harrls Thea- ter today—caused by dense clouds of grease smoke from a fire in Hotel Sherman—by “bawling out” the audi- ence. As tho audience grew restless with | the smell of smoke, Hull stopped his performance, walked to the footlights and, instead of delivering the usual speech of assurance, began a tirade. “You're fine ones, you are. All you have to do is to sit there and watch. Here we have to smell this smoke and try to give a performance at the same time. If there was any danger we'd be the first ones out of here. Now come back and sit down!” His speech halted the exodus. A few of the departing guests began to filter back to their seats. “That’s right, let’s sit down and be quiet. How can you expect us to put on a show with all that noise and confusion?” The audience quieted. One man took’ the cue and called out: “He's right. Let's sit down.” SPECIALS Value prospectors, atten- hunt leads to Sears . . . and at the end of the trail there Big values .+ . . better quality . . . bigger savings! Shop tion!
