Approved hy the voice voto a few hours after ita recommendation by the House Appropriations Committee, the measure would swell the cash outlay and contractual authority voted hy Congress this year $18,136,832,51(5, Under the bill, the Army will have about 1,400,000 men and 74,000 officers in service by next July, of which between 695,990 and 800,000 will bo draftees and the remainder Regulars, National Guardsmen and Reserve officers on active duty. Taxes voted and about to be voted by this Congress are just a start: A glimpso at the present fiscal year's spending outlook ehows why: Estimated outgo: $12,000,000,000. Estimated income with new taxes: $7,000,000,000. Estimated deficit as a minimum: $5,000,000,000?near a record. To bo remembered: A military machlhe Is expensive: is not something that comes for the asking; Is a far bigger item than relief, or farm subsidles, or even than old age pensions. For example: A rather modest first year of conscription will cost $1,500,000,000. Equipment for this Army will cost at least $1,000,000,000 in the first year, much more later. The Navy, built and building, to cost a .TjnJjnimum of $2,000,000,000 a year for operatipjQ ^gnd normal replacement. 'orfederal finances will continue t*> go from bad to worse. On the basis of existing taxes and existing commitments for spending, a national debt of $60,000,000,000 is in sight. We had just as well face facts. Japan was brought fact to face Thursday with a long-considered embargo on America^ iron a"nd steel scrap, considered essential to full operation of her far-ranging war machine. now mainly directed against ' Cthina but also casting covetous eyes toward- Dutch, French and British possessions in the Pacific. She received warning, in effect, at the same time, that she must take responsibility for any breach on her part of the principles of international peace and order. The embargo was established by President Roosevelt, who made it effective October 16 and applicable to all countries except Great Britain and those in the Western Hemisphere, provisions in line with the policies of giving material aid to Britain and at the sanje time promoting hemisphere defense. / The warning came from Secretary of State Hull in reaction to reports Prom Tokyo that Japan, convinced that the United States Is unalterably opposed to her "legitimate" expansion in the Orient, can be expected to support Germany if conflict should come with the U. S. from that source. In reply, the Secretary of State at his press conference read again portions of his July 16, 1937, statement on fundamental principles of foreign policy calling for "maintenance of peace' ....national and international restraint. .. .modification of treaties only by orderly processes... .abstinence by all nations from the use of force In pursuit of policy ". - On Friday a military pact was announced wherein Germany, Japan and Italy immediately pledged themselves to support each other with all economic. political and military forces if any one becomes engaged in conflict with "a nation not at present engaged in Far-Eastern and European wars." The United States and Russia are the only greal poVers not engaged in either war. The pact is aimed primarily against cooperation between Great Britain and the United States with China considered in secondary degree. International events move fast and Girls Are Advised To Build-Up For Relief Lack of knowledge causes many a weak, undernourished girl a lot of suffering! Many others, however, know how the headaches, nervousness, cramplike pain of functional dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition are helped by the proper use of CARDUI. Some take it a few days before and during "the time," to help ease periodic distress. But CARDUI'S ' principal use is to help increase appetite; stimulate the flow of fastrie Jtdeej sp aid digestion, assist In building up physical resistance and thus help reduce periodical distress. Women have used CARDUI for over 50 years. ' 1 " i............ t _ I, i .! "Nightmare Arches" House Thousands! BY NORMAN *J.

He repeatedly pointed out the difference between his surroundings then and now. The shelter was a huge vault. There was no cleaning or disinfecting. "Tube" or shelter throats" wore prevalent.

But as one shelter-denizen told me, "who cares about little things like this. It's life we are seeking to keep." Outside, one gets a view of the reasons why thousands flock to such quarters. In many blocks stand nothing but ruins, windowless and roofless buildings, the streets strewn with broken glass, furniture and masonry. The people cannot possibly live In suoh places. !

The Senate Thursday passed and | sent to conference the Ramspeck Bill allowing the President to bring 200,000 Federal employes # into the Civil Service, if they pass non-competitive examinations. Action on the measure, which has already been approved by the House, camo on voice vote at 6:05 P. M. after five days of debate. Senator Mead, of New York, floor manager for the bill, said he expected that the House-Senate conference report would be brought out early next week and that the bill will become latv "before we adjourn." In the last-minute rush Thursday, the Senate accepted an amendment deferring to April 15, 1941, the date when the bill would take effect. This change would serve to protect all persons now employed, as the non-competitive examinations are to be given only those employes who have served for six months prior to "the time their agency is put under Civil Service.
