Powell in his recently issued annual report that Uie State docs not need any more revenue members of the House appropriations | committee, who have been doing some figuring, say that the State must get half a dozen more millions if it is to continue its charitable appropriations i and provide the additional fund for , schools, highways, public improve ; ments and run the government. An ; other factor that has loomed up in I the last few days is the question of I armory facilities. Calling out of the National Guard will not entail very much expense on the Commonwealth because as soon as the men are called they become chargeable to federal funds as was done in the case of tho mobilization for border service. But the State will have to furnish better armory facili ties under the national defense act. Chairman James F. Woodward, of the House appropriations committee, says that $70,000,000 is about as high as the Legislature could go under the present revenue laws and that if more j aid is to be given to hospitals and j similar institutions, which have been hit by the high cost of living, and to j build roads, etc., tho Legislature should make the limit $75,000,000. The State Board of Charities, he says, took cognizance of the fact that cost of foodstuffs, etc., had increased tremendously by adding $730,000 to the $4,000,000 appropriations recom mended for the indigent insane and by increases for maintenance for hos pitals and the Legislature must con sider that fact. The Governor will in j sist on more money for roads and ! schools and various departments are j making big demands. 1 Tuesday the deficiency bill will be j tho subject of a hearing by the ap- I propriations committee and there will j be some explaining asked of heads of ; departments. The committee will likely cut off $250,000. To-day Mr. i Woodward and Senator Buckman, the Senate appropriations chairman, will see the Governor about the approprta • tion program, seeking a way to avoid ! necessity for executive reductions be j cause of "insufficient revenue." 30,000 Men in Dauphin County Can Be Called to Colors if Needed I Thirty thousand men in Dauphin county could be called to the colors in .case of emergency, according to figures 'on file at the County Commissioners' ; office, in the Courthouse.

Stine estimated the number of men available at :'.0,000, ranging in age from IS to 45 years. About half of this num ber reside in Harrlsburg, the other , half in the outlying districts and bor oughs.

MAY OMIT IXAUGI'HAL SHOW Washington, D. 0., Feb. s.—While no decision has been reached officially, there is a very decided sentiment in all official quarters to abandon the public ceremonies of inauguration on March 5 and simply have the President take the oath of office in the White House on Sunday, May 4. The army and navy reception at the White ilousc t probably will be abandoned. Those officials who favor abandon ing the public ceremonies feel that, ; with the President facing such critical . international affairs, the good of the country demands that he shall not be called upon to participate in public TIIRESHERMEX TO MEET HERE Standardization of rates for thresh ing and the adoption of a resolution calling for the repeal of the State law i which places a personal tax upon own ers of traction engines will be tho | chief topics discussed when the Penn i sylvania Threshermen's and Farmers' I Protective Association meets in an ! nual convention here, February 14-16. j functions. mm ' ENDS CATARRH, ASTHMA, ' I Bronchitis.
