POSSIBILITY OF DELAY

Commissioners-Reports
Due July Is.

Delay Ill the appointment of Commits

will be the needs of their departments
during the twelve months beginning July
j, 1914. They are required to submit
their figures not later than July Is next,

Depends Upon Selections.

Should the President select outside men
for the posts. 1t is pointed out. a diff
ferent situation would exist. Were the
appointments to be made at once, the
new heads Of the government would have
only two months in which to familiarize
themselves with the needs of the rlu-
nicipality.
Preparation of the estimates is one of
the big jobs confronting the Commits
sioners each year. 1t, is a time when
midnight oil is burned. for thousands Of
items Of expense have to he carefully
considered and the District heads are re-
quired to work day and night in order to
complete the list by October II, on which
date it usually is transmitted to the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Important improvements are sched-
uled for consideration in connection
with the preparation of the next bud
get. District officials generally are
hopeful that the appointment IF Com
missioners will not be longer delayed,
so that. in the event of outside men
being chosen, they will have some OPP
portunity to inform themselves as to
the needs OF the various departments
before the estimates of those depart
ments are submitted.

Known as Papaya.

1t is the papaya from which these great
things are hoped. 1t is shaped like can
taloupe and colored like one of the solid
green watermelons. But there the resem-
blance ceases

hollow inside with loose, small seeds
that can be scraped out. The seeds are
small. black and hard about like Is. Z.

the meat of a bright orange color. The
flesh is SO soft it has to be eaten with a
spoon. It has a mild sweet, rather indie
terminate taste. except where 1t is tlecid-
eddy ripe and the rind has begun to yell
low. Then It has a lowery, fragrant
taste that Is almost an odor, quite pleas
ant, but rather Understandable.
The reason the papaya has not been
more widely known heretofore is that it
was always raised from seed and there
was no way of telling in advance wheth-
er the trees would produce good fruit or
no fruit at all. In fact. with tests of
seedlings, about 93 per cent of them
proved worthless or barren

CHILDLESS WIVES AND
BACHELORS TO BE TAXED

CINCINNATI, Sept. 11.-Bachelors
and childless wives are to be made a
source of income from the state o.
Ohio if the plans advocated before the
Woman's Taxpayers League pan out
According to some of the members
of the league the two classes are ap-
parently not doing their duty to the
community and therefore a monetary
burden should be imposed to reconcile
the difference.
The plan is to tax blessedly single
men about 10 per cent of their income
if they are working for small salaries,
and to take 20 per cent from the na-
bobs getting more than $1,000 a year.
Married women who have been in
the state for twenty years and are not
mothers are to be taxed also, according
to the scheme.
Letters have been mailed to promi-
nent Cincinnati bachelors, requesting
their views on the subject, which data
will be used in assisting to draft bill
which will embody the bachelor tax
clause.

"The prevention of occupational

to be left entirely to individual action.
It cannot be left to the worker, who,
