East Juniata Playground. Is Ending Tenth Year The East Juniata playground, one of those under the direction of the city park and recreation commission is finishing up its tenth year of service to the community and is one of the oldest playgrounds in the city. The plan for the playground waa evolved during a picnic of the Wesley Methodist church at Bland park, 10 years ago suggested by the Rev. Cole, pastor of the church. Four lots at Fifth avenue and Fifteenth street were purchased, lumber donated by the lumber mills and men of the community erected bandstand and apparatus, including swings, see-saws, sliding boards, acting bars, sand boxes and a giant lullaby.

M. W. Tillman was appointed caretaker and served until the annexation when Altoona took over the ground, which was provided with lights and remained open until 9 p. m. Ground is now under the direction of Harold Yoder, and Miss Dorothy Richads, the former a graduate of Juniata High school and senior student at Bucknell university and the latter, a graduate of Altoona High school and prominent in athletics.

The bandstand has been cleaned out and is being used for a handicraft and storage room. The following are playleaders at the ground; Charles Stahl, handicraft; volleyball, Tip Burkholder; dodgebali, Tom Hirshbiel; playground ball, Charles, Stahl; hard baseball, Byron Miller; Girl leaders, Lucille Rupert, dodgebali; Anna Nevedel and Geraldine Wills, handicraft.

Local Governments Get More Than Half of Every Dollar Spent In Taxes; 30 Cents to States By OSCAR LEIDING What becomes of the taxpayer's dollar? Multiplied an estimated 15 billion fold, it represents the costs of government in the United States for one year.

Divided into three parts for the three kinds of government, in round figures, 55 cents represents local governments' share, 15 cents goes to the states, and 30 cents is the federal share. Further subdivision of the local and state shares would be exceedingly complex, but the pattern of the federal subdivision may be determined in general. In recapitulations presented both in the house and senate when con-gress adjourned its long winter session, federal appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1933, were given a net total of This figure was arrived at after deducting the estimated savings of $150,000,000 on account of the economy act and estimated postal revenues of $725,000,000. Total Above $3,700,000,000 In analyzing the spending of the "federal dollar," leaving out the economy act saving and the 224.000 carried by the emergency relief and construction act a grand total for regular annual and permanent and indefinite appropriations of $3,713,968,479.24 results. This includes a deduction of the estimated postal revenues.

Using this grand total as a base of the fiscal year's federal expenditures, the following shows how the spending of the "federal dollar" divides up by departments: Treasury, 38 plus cents; executive, 28.6 plus cents; war, 11 plus cents; navy, 8 plus cents; agriculture, 5 plus cents: postoffice, 2 plus cents; interior, 1.8 minus cents; justice, 1.2 plus cents; District of Many Attend Bible Sessions Rev. Continues Discussion of Topic, 'Christ's Great Crisis' The Rev. Donald Barnhouse continued his discussion of "Christ's Great Crisis," as i. feature of the Bible conference yesterday at Lakemont park. The service yesterday was opened with a prayer meeting for the salvation of the souls and the deepening of spiritual life.

Throngs attended the sessions yesterday, many being turned away because, of lack of space. Rev. Barnhouse stressed the ministry of Christ. He said, "the first part of the three years ministry of Christ was different from that of the second part." "The four Gospels are not biographies of Christ, they are not portraits of Christ, they are not arranged chronologir cally," declared the Rev. Barnhouse "The parallels in the Thirteenth chapter of Matthew are the history of the Church written in advance.

The kingdom is given in two aspects in the Scriptures; its literal aspect and its mystery or secret aspect," he declared. Dr. Brown and the Rev. A. H.

Stewart addressed the afternoon sessions of the conference yesterday. "Nearing Armageddon the Next World WSt," was the subject of the afternoon address by Dr. Brown. Dr. Brown listed a number of scriptures which show that present world events point to an oncoming world war specially directed against Israel.

"Whom Do Men Say That I Am?" was the subject of the Rev. A. H. Stewart's address. Preceding his message the Rev.

Stewart exhorted Christians to hearty tract distribution to reach the lost with the Gospel. "The outward conduct must manifest the inward reality in the Christian's life," declared the speaker. "There's going to be but one church in heaven," shouted Rev. Stewart, "and you can belong to it today." Dr. Barnhouse addressed the conference group in the evening session on the subject, "Where Are the Dead?" "Death," said the Rev.

Barnhouse, "is the most or dinary and also the most extraordinary thing in the world." Rev Barnhouse said, "since Christ has come back from the dead we know where the dead are." Quoting Scripture, he said, "If ye die in your sins, where I go ye cannot go." The sessions during the day were changed to the theatre in order to accommodate larger crowds. This arrangement will prevail throughout the sessions today. Tom Filer, Altoona's blind soloist, again favored the sessions with several selections. Two missionary meetings were held. A.

J. Bowen, an African missionary, was to be in charge of the session yesterday but due to missing train connections be was unable be present. UNITY (From Page 1) many is permanently settled, Senator Borah said. When European nations are ready to act to bring about these changes, particularly to remove the load of taxation from its citizens involving the cost of armament there, this country should be ready and glad to cancel the debt an investment in permanent prosperity, he said.

The bulk of the treasury's share goes for public debt retirement and interest on the public debt while the next heaviest spender, the executive department, makes the most of its outlay in veterans' administration. The "federal dollar" may therefore be divided up another way, to show not who it is spent by, but what it is spent for. The following classification was made by the budget bureau on the basis of its appropriations estimates: Public debt, retirement and interest, 28.83 cents; military pensions, annuities, compensations, homes and hospitals for war veterans, and life insurance claims, 26.7 cents; national defense, 16.35 cents; civil functions, 20.45 cents; general functions, 7.13 cents; and refunds, losses, and miscellaneous, .54 cent.

Cab Calloway Coming To Sunsbt Park Aug. 10 cab CXlloway Some phrase usually is in vogue expressing the spirit of jazz and syncopation. Five years ago it was "vo-do-deo-do," introduced in a song and quickly adopted by the flappers and their boy friends as pet expression. Then Helen Kane came along with her "boop-boop-a-doop" and this new phrase became significant of all things with pep, life and the jazz spirit It in turn was followed by "hotcha-cha," "whoopee" and others. Cab Calloway is responsible for the newest phrase along this line, "ho-de-ho-de-ho." He introduced it in his popular "Minnie the Mooch-er" song and it has spread like wildfire among the lively members of the younger generation.

By coining the new expression and popularizing it over the radio, Cab has won for himself a title, "His Highness of Ho-De-Ho." Cab Calloway and his band will be at Sunset park, Wednesday, August 10.
