U.S. Financial Report Reveals Reduction in National Expenditures Treasury Coses, Fiscal Year With Greatest Surplus in History The report of Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury of the United States, shows that the last four years have been a period of adjustment in both government finance and general economic conditions. Through the establishment of the barron of the budget and consolidation of all government departments in the program of economy, expansion more than $7 billion was allocated to bail-out billions in 1920 to admit three and a half billion in 1924, a reduction of about forty-six per cent. The treasury closed the fiscal year with the largest surpluses in the history of the government, it being more than five hundred and five million dollars. The only major department of the government which did not show a decrease in expenditures was the department of agriculture, whose expenditures increased more than additional expenditures for good ronds in connection with federal aid. The gross public debt, according to the report, now stands at $21,250, $12,982, having been reduced more than a billion dollars since the last annual report. Strict adherence to a rigorous debt paying program has not only strengthened the government's revenues in a more manageable shape but has greatly added to the strength of the general investments and money markets. The secretary's report expresses the belief that the situation in America looks more favorable for sound and orderly economic growth than it did in the war. Daria partly to the Davies plan, European countries have already developed a new mental outlook, and something of the old time industrial vigor and energy. Picture Made Under Skin Microscopic Blood Vessels Seer in Snapshot (Science Service) Science Service Rochester, Minn., U.S.A.—Successful map-based microscopic blood cells under the skin of the Prime human body have been obtained for the first time by Dr. Charles Sheard of the Mayo clinic Here. Ordinary photographic film was used in the experiment. Because of the mechanical jerking of the subject or the apparatus and the rhythmic movement caused by heart beats time exposures could not be made and instantaneous pictures were necessary. The experiment has been so successful that the photomicrographs magnified from 10 to 100 times have been made in from one hundred to one hundredth of a second. One of the chief obstacles encountered in the experiment was due to the fact that it was difficult to get sufficient light returned to the film. This was accomplished by 'sending a strongly diffused beam' one in which the shorter wavelength had been thrown down through the skin.

The expedition under the leadership of Roy Chapman Andrews, subsidized the American Museum, the American Asiatic Association and the Asia magazine, will journey overland from Peking, China to Urga, capital city of the Mongols who, with the expidition they carried, arose into the desert of fortale, at which point a party led by Andrews last year found fossilized cepes of the dinosaur and skeletons millions of years old.

Urga is also known as the "Sacred City" as it is the home of Beogh, the Living Budda. In the spring a great festival is held where people go to the Mongolia, Mit. As the expedition will be in Urga in the spring, Roberts expects to see this spectacle.

What Was "Robin Hood's Barn" NIGH on to a thousand years ago, wealthy wayfarers learned to choose some roundabout route into Nottingham, rather than the short cut that led straight through Sherwood Forest. + People who buy without regard to advertising nowadays journey at high cost in roundabout ways, to make their purchases where dollars are dubious. For the shrewd buyer of anything, in our times, sends his money to market the straight, sure way, guided by advertising. MAKE USE OF THE ADVERTISEMENTS! What is not advertised may be worth buying.
