Not a soul but the TV. C. A. worker beside her knew story. The English girl was so py when she received- word from American husband that she should !e on, as he was discharged, that 'was already at the port of embarka- when another cable came telling she would not be welcomed in erica.

MAYOR C0N1E BUDGET DEMANDS Smith and Financial Advisers Weigh Requests for Money for 1920 Needs '' INCREASES IN PAY COSTLY Departmental demands for 1020, to taling in excess of $r0,000,000, are being majle the subject of study by. Mayor SrriTfh and his financial advisers. The needs of the hnrbor as outlined by Director Webster,-of the Depart ment of Wharves, Docks and Ferries, are being gone over today. Joseph P. Gaffncy, chairman of Councils' finance committee, and City Solicitor John P. Connelly are at work on a form of budget that Councils will be asked to adopt by resolution next week. On this form the Mayor will report the depattment needs on or be fore October 15. Although the city officials have made no announcement as to the final form of th"e budget, it is believed that this year, as in the past, a separate column will be carried out to show the in creases resulting from new places nnd (.alary increases asked by city and county heads. Take Up nig Increases - The salary increase column in the Department of Wharves, Docks and Ferries is said to be small owing to the fact that the budget for 1020 does not materially increase the total of $59.";, 798 asked for the present year. The big increnses will be taken up Thurs day, when Director Wilson, of the De partment of Public Safety, will pre sent his need for nearly $2,000,000 in excess of the between $10,000,000 and $11,000,000 cost of upkeep for the present year. The two big increases are due to the plan to put policemen nnd'firemen on a salary-plan level with tha of other large cities throughout the country. Conferences have been arranged for daily during the few weeks that will elapse before the middle of October, when nil estimates must be in the hnnds of Councils' finance committee for final revision. 'Need of Tax Boost The heed of a tax rate increase is easily capable of proof, not only be cause of flie increase incident to pay boosts, but because of the loss of 1,000,000 revenue from liquor licenses and the4possible loss of between $700, 000 and SROO.000 additional lcveuue if the plan of President Mitten, of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, to nbolish exchange tickets is adopted by Councils and approved by the Pub lic Service Commission. Other reductions in revenue will re sult from the necessity to repay a planned temporary loan. Despite this rather gloomy outlook, it is not believed that Major Smith or Councils will give any serious consideration to increasing the burden of taxation already carried by lealty.

FORBETTERPAVING Veteran Councilman Plans Campaign for Improved Streets and Water Supply REPRESENTS 5TH DISTRICT Eduard Buchholz, veternn member of both Select nnd Common Councils, plans to take his old hobby of better streets and an improved water supply with him when he transfers his labors to the new Council of twenty -one, in which h will represent the Fifth Sena torial district. Mr. Iluchholz, who is n real estate assessor as well as a councilman, is the oldest member of Select Council and, next to "Charley" Scger, is the oldest member in point of service in both branches. At present he represents the Nintecnth wnrd in Select Council. Be tween 1893 nnd 1898 he represented the same constituency in the lower branch. His legislative service goes back over twenty-six years. For years he has been n member of the finance committee, nnd though an organization "legular," is respected by all parties for his clenr-headed knowl edge of questions pertaining to the city's finances. He has made some thing of a record for himself in the past by speaking his mind plainly, even when his ideas run counter to the policy of the leaders. Since its organization also he has been a member of the special water committee, which was formed for the purpose of making a survey of the city's water needs. Plans for Campaign Aj a preliminary to an active cam paign for better streets and water sup ply In his new district, which com prises the Seventeenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Thirty-seventh and Thirty first wards, Mr. Buchholz has asked Chief Albright, of tho Surveys Bureau, to have prepared a comprehensive map of all these wauls, showing streets, sewers and water mains, with data as to when they vcre laid and in what condition they now are "I am not yet thoroughly conver sant with the needs of the entire dis trict," said Mr. Buchholz in discuss ing his plans, "but I nm to be so in the shortest possible time. I never had occasion to study this district before in its entirety, as my own work lay fh the Nineteenth ward. I shall use the map to. enable me trf know at a glance what conditions are when my constitu ents come to mo with requests for im provements. I shall get over every mile of the district as soon as pos sible. "The first need of Philadelphia nt large, in my opinion, is good streets ; coming 'next to this, nn adequate water supply. The last municipal loan did not appropriate nearly enough for street repair and paving. Millions for Better Streets "I believe it will cost millions to put the streets in proper shnpe. "I have' always been interested in the city's water supply. One of my first interests in the new Council will be to secure the extension and improve ment of the water system. Many im provements should be made, but care should be taken to spend the money properly. I wish to see taxes kept down because the burden on Philadel phia realty already is very heavy.' Mr. Buchholz, ns a real estate as sessor, knows a good deal abdut hous ing conditions in Philadelphia and has kept in touch with the present housing shortage and charges of profiteering. He said that, while there' undoubt edly were instances of profiteering, he thought that in some cases the tenants were in the wrong as well as the landlords. WIDER TASK FOR BUREAU OF JUNIOR EMPLOYMENT School Principals and Others Interested Arc Asked to Aid Work ' of Federal Service Among Children Here "Can I get a job?" "What would you like to do?" "Why, anj thing. Oh, I dunuo. I just want a job." , More than C000 children between tho ages of fourteen and sixteen j ears leave tho public schools of Phila delphia each year, and during the Inst eight months 548 have appealed to the junior section of the United States em ployment service for guidance. Scores of those who come to the of fice nt 1520 Cherry street have no idra whaFthey want to do, and yet are com pelled for rensons, largely financial, to leave school before they have had time1 to discover a special interest, or a par ticular, talent. They "just want n job." Others come to the office, however, with n set determination to enter some field for which they have no natural qualifications or trnining. One of the chief tasks of the federal servico is to direct these young carnprs into occupations for which they arc suited and which will lead to advance ment. In extending its work this fall, n let ter hns jut gone out to school princi pals, executives and others interested in the work, asking co-operation. "As the junior section of the United States employment service is nlso part of the 'bnck-to-school' movement, our counselors will always make a first ef fort to urge the applicant to remain in school, whenever practicable,") reads the letter. "Suitable evening courses for the further development of the young worker over sixteen are frequently recV ommended. It is planned nlso to keep in touch w ith the boys and girls for a number of 5 ears after they have been nt work in order to make sure that they have chosen tlirt right field and are making the proper progress." In the follow-up work which the Junior Section hopes to continue un til the boy or girl hns reached twentv jearR of age, particular effoit will be made to see that the applicant is led into, tho work in which he is inter ested. Spanning the two jenrs from four teen when the liov may leave school to sixteen years when lie mav enter nl trade Is one of the problems of jmenile ' employment If the boy is intcictoil in ( mechanical drawing, the Junior Stftion 1 looks tip n position where the boy enn lime some chance to observe a draft- in,: room. If n girl wants to do dress making, she is found n job where she I will be nhle to -sec drcssmnkiiig being 1 done. Before placing the boys and girls, the employment service investigates the I school record and the environment nf I the npplicant and the business position I in which tne applicant is placed.
