FAMILIES AIDED AT VITAL TIME BY ASSOCIATION Wage Earner's Illness Brings Want to Dependents In many families a broken leg or a broken arm can easily be a finan cial particularly when It is the one wage earner whose weekly earnings are providing the food and rent. It is at this point that the Har risburg Hospital, an agency of the Harrisburg Welfare Federation, steps in and helps through a crisis of this kind. The Harrisburg Hospital, as it was pointed out by Miss Kay Booth social worker attached to the staff of the institution, is in the "front' line trenches" in such situations. The injured person is brought to the hospital as an accident case, and the hospital is the first to learn just what the accident means to the wife and children whose one mainstay has suddenly been re moved.

"There are any number of faml lies in Harrisburg who have never had to appeal to their friends or any charitable institution for help." miss Bootn pointed out. me nus band and father, although his earn ings may be reduced, is still able to keep his family from want. How ever, the demands on his money mean that he is unable to save any tor a rainy day and when trouble comes, his family is lust ud azainst it, financially. Free Service Required "When there is an accident case brought into the hospital where free service is required," Miss Booth said. "We always follow up and try to learn what circumstances his family are in, because our ex perience has shown us that nine times out of ten they are entirely unprepared to go along for the six week that are required for a frac ture to heal without helD from somewhere." When Miss Booth finds the fam ily is without any provision for the future, she reports the case to the Associated Aid, another agency of the welfare Federation, which steps in and finds a way to handle the problem.

If there are children in the home who are left without the proper care and attention because of the accident, the Children's Bureau of the same agency finds a temporary home for them until nor mal family life can be resumed. 3 2 YEAR OLD GOES TO SEE TRAINS, CAUSES KIDNAPING SCARE Jimmie Hall's desire to watch the trains go by sent neighborhood and police searching parties to the four corners of this city yesterday after noon and set State Police wires to clacking out what his oarents be lieved were signs of kidnaping.

"You ought to see him rear up on nis nincuegs wnen we taite mm to the watering trough," said In spector George Hamilton. "Lots of teD. vainly they've tried to trace his record to a fire house.

"He was never a fire horse," ad mits George, "but if he had been, he'd have been the best in the business." Pete is a Dauphin county native. He was eight when Samuel Gardner, wno once had tne city garoage contract, bought him from the late Daniel Keefer. Middletown. For fourteen years thereafter he was "always willing," and "a good worker." And now at 28 he's living in contented retirement. On Wednesday five of his confreres in wagon pulling will go to the auction block.

(Already, H. F. Sheesley, ash and garbage bureau chief has plenty of offers). Pete will look on, neigning as in past years: "So long until tomorrow, I'll stay right here."

BALANCED BUDGET NEED POINTED OUT BY PRESIDENT Hoover Shows Congress Reasons Why Revenues Must Meet Expenditures By Associated Preu Washington, March 26.

Amid in creasing clamor for resting the needed budget balancing heavily on a reduotion of expenditures Presi dent Hoover points out forcefully tnat tne potential savings are not great enough, and heavy taxation is not to be avoided. In a strong appeal to the people to support and not obstruct Congress in its efforts to bring receipts and expenditures to a level, the President late yesterday asserted that of the $4,100,000,000 budget, a total of $2,100,000,000 cannot be reduced and the $700,000,000 for army and navy should not be touched in any manner to impair the strength of the nation's defense. This leaves but $1,300,000,000 plus post off ice expenditures, out of which savings can be made, and the sum covers many vital services of the government. Deficit Appearing By contrast, he pointed out, the OLIVER OUST WHO tS THIS i WHO GOING TO GET HERE II I I I Ml fc SPIKE fvMlum? WHS HE'S NOVM estimated deficit for next year is $1,250,000,000 coining on top of two billion shortage this" year and a half billion deficit last year. Much saving is possible, the President maintained, through postponement of the least essential activi ties, elimination of unnecessary functions and "businesslike' reorganization" oi government activities.

"But when all this is done," he went on, "balancing of the budget must in the main be accomplished by an increase in taxation which will restore government revenues. Economies in expenditure or increase in taxes alike call for sacrifices sacrifices which are a part of the country's war on depres sion." Even as he was speaking Senator Borah Idaho) was congratulating the House for rejecting the sales tax and asserting the budget could be balanced by cutting expenses. "It is said we cannot cut ex penses," he said. I wonder ir we have built up a bureaucracy that is master of both the Executive and the Congress and which in this time of distress is going to refuse to share with the taxpayers tne Burden they are carrying."

Sohn ar gued to Judge John E.

Fox "Any man who had an enemy would not be safe in bis own home" in such a case. The dispute arose in the trial of Joseph Blackstone. 630 Cumberland street, for two years an employe of the' Harrisburg Highway Department, on charges of manufacture and possession of liquor. City police testified they raided Blackstone's house February 26 and found ten gallons of liquor and nineteen barrels of mash, each containing 52 gallons. Blackstone said he had lived in the house only a month and that the liquor and mash were there when he arrived.

He said he did not disturb it because he supposed the owner would call to remove it. Police testified several persons sitting around a table in the kitchen of the house and that one of them held a glass containing liquor.
