Considerable pruning of budgets was dona at the meeting of the ex- scu!lve committee of the United 'Communl(y Corp. yesterday after- noon, The estimates presented by the ten organizations in the corporation aggregated $66,000. The committee felt that the total should not be above $60,000. Last year the cor- poration sought $50,000 in its an- nual drive, and the extra $10,000 al- lows 10 per cent increase in the amounts allowed the old organiza- tions and a further 10 per cent to care for the fresh air camp, which {has been admitted during the past year. The camp will probably re- quire $6,000 or $7,000. Leon A. Sprague, treasurer of the corporation and manager of the drive, sald this morning that the re- ductions had been made carefully and the member organizations had expressed their willingness to accept them. The committee's work will be bronght before the board of trustees at 6 o'clock Friday afternoon for final approval. At that time, any organization which feels that its cut has been too large will be given a chance to show cause for a larger al- lowance. The 1925 drive will take place on March 23-30 and organization of it is now well under way. pressed action Goldenblum’s ONE DAY SALE TOMORROW ONLY 165 Spring Hats made to sell for as high as - $6.50 These Hats are all new and bought special for this sale.

For these réa- sons the Blue Triangle club rooms will be opened Wednesday evenings, beginning tomorrow, to girls who would like to read and discuss to- gether, led by Miss Brugger. A trip will be made to the New Britain In- stitute to see which books would be most interesting to begin on.

San Francisco, Feb. 17.—George Campbell Carson, 58, itinerant miner and desert “rat” as he termed him- self, and for years the guest of a sailor lodging house here, because he could afford no better, had little cause today to complain of “the law's delay,” or “the slings and ar- rows of an outrageous fortune.” A dccision of the United States ciredit court of appeals has changed Carson’s status by making him a po- tential multi-mlilionaire. The court's decree put Carson in possession of the rewards of his in- ventive genius and 19 years of strug- gle and sacrifice, he avers, by holding that the American Smelting and Re- fining company has infringed pat- ents of his on devices to facilitate copper ore smelting, reversing the declsion of the United States district court in Seattle which threw the case out. Counsel for C: the court’s decision ordered an ac- counting by the defendant company and that a conservative estimate would place the amount due Carson at $5,000,000. Similar suits are pending against the Phelps-Dodge Corporation of Arizona, and the Anaconda Copper mining company of Montana, and the decision according to Carson’s le- gal advisers, also virtually settles those other suits. A total accounting would bring him $20,000,000 at least his patents, he contends. ST.
