TO FOLLOW DR.. SHAW'S

Washington, Dec. 29.-Women who

Shaw, president of the National Wo-
mans Suffrage Association, to offer
passing resistance" to the income tax
law. lay themselves open to serious
trouble with the government, in the
opinion of officials of the treasury de-
Dartment In an open letter addressed
to "unfranchised women of America" :"
DIR. Shaw further advocated that they
decline to aid the government in levy
ing taxes upon them by refusing to

Treasury officials point out that 1t is
Just as much a violation of the law to

UNIFORM RATE SCALE
FOR R. RS. NOT PRACTICAL,

Minneapolis Mimi, Dec. 2s.-A uniform
rate scale for all railroads in this coun-
try is not a practically possible thing, nor
is it necessarily a desirable thing, Bal
thasar II. Meyer of the Interstate Com
cerce Commission said today in an ad-
dress to the 18th annual meeting of the
American Economic Association.
Government ownership was referred to
by Mr.. Meyer as the possible final out
come of increasing government regula-
ton. Even that, he said, would not put
an ed to rate problems
Mr. Meyer said he wished it understood
that he was speaking as rate expert
and not as a government official.
"The kaleidoscope nature of the facts
which enter into a particular rate prob
lem will always, probably, defeat every
attempt to import a uniform rule upon
traffic throughout the United States,
said Mr.. Meyer 1T is, however. more
important that justice should be main
tanned than that some specific standard
should be promulgated.
1.-The most important single factor is
the fair or final value, which we hope
will be known in the not distant future.
Outstanding securities against the prop
erty being valued should not receive any
consideration in the establishment of
rates to be collected for the public use
of the property"

hroW away your
Eye Glasses!
AFREE PRESCRIPTION
You Can Have Filled and Use at
Home.

Do you wear glasses? Are you VIC
tim of eye-strain or other eye-weakness?
If so, you will be glad to know that
there is real hope for you. Many whose
eyes were failing say they have had
their eyes restored through the principle
of this wonderful free prescription. One
man says, after trying 1t: Il was almost
blind could not see to read at all. Now
I can read everything without any
glasses and my eyes do not water any
more. At night they would pain dread
fully; now they feel fine all the time.
1t was like a miracle to me-" a lady
who used it says: 1.-THE atmosphere
seemed hazy with or without glasses, but
after using this prescription for fifteen
days, everything seems clear. l can
even read fine print without glasses" 1t
is believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them in a rea-
sonable time and multitudes more will
be able TO strengthen their eyes so as to
be spared the trouble and expense of
ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of
many descriptions may be wonderfully
benefited by following the simple rules.
Here is the prescription. Go to any ac-
tive drug store and get a bottle OF OPP
tona, fill a two-ounce bottle with warm
water, drop in one Optona tablet and al
low to dissolve With this liquid battle
the eyes two to four times daily. You
should notice your eyes clear up per-
ceptibly right from the start and infiam-
nation will quickly disappear. If your
eyes are botherlng you, even a little,
take steps to save them now before 1t Is
too late. Many hopelessly blind might
have been saved If they had cared for
their eyes in time.-AdY.

APPOINT RECEIVERS
FOR PHILA, COMPANY,
Liabilities Between Three
and Four Million with AS
sets of One and Two Mill
ion.

Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-The United
States court today appointed receiv-
ers for the Breakwater Co. of this
city. The assets of the company are
placed at between one and two million
dollars and the liabilities at between
three and four millions. The business
of the company is jetty building and
harbor protection. Lack of working
capital is assigned as one of the rea-
sons for the financial difficulties of
the company. It is said the company
mas several valuable contracts with the
government in operation and it was
for the purpose of having these full
filled that a receiver was asked for
Counsel said if these contracts are
carried out all claims against the COM
pany will be wiped out.
The receivers are Henry w. Moore
and William L. Wood of Philadelphia
and r. r. Freed of North Wales, Pa,
and were appointed on an involuntary
petition in bankruptcy filed by several
creditors.
Counsel for the company said that
the concern has three classes of la
bilities-seeured, open accounts and
contingent-the last being held by
bonding companies that have indemni-
fed the gov ernment against loss under
contracts given the company for the
erection of dikes, constructing break
waters and other river improvements
from Maine to Honolulu.

Reserve Bank Committee
ShutenS Time 3 Days.
Reports Indicate Path Of Re.
organizers Won't Be Rosy.
Some Cities Being Considered Not
Anxious to Be So Designated.

Washington Dec. 29.-The Reserve
bank organization committee to-
night announced a change in its plans
for holding public hearing in New
York and Boston. 1t had planned to
sit two days in New York, beginning
Jan. 2, then in Boston for two days,
and to return to New York for 4S
hours more work.
According to the new plan the COM
mittee will meet in New York Jan.
5, and sit there until the night of the
Sth. 1t will sit in Boston Jan. 8 and
10 and return from Boston to Wash
ington. The change in plans was made
on account of the illness of Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo. AL
though he shows a steady improve
ment, Surgeon General rupert Blue
of the Public Health Service advised
a complete rest of five days before the
secretary takes up the strenuous days
of the public hearings.
Mr. McAdoo will pass the rest of
the week in the country and go to New
York Monday morning. This change
of plans will cut three days off the
two months the committee has plan
ned to use in working out the bound
airy lines of federal reserve districts
and locating reserve cities.
Reports at the treasury department
today indicated that the path which
the two cabinet officers are to travel
in locating the federal reserve dis
tricts and cities will not be rosy. About
the time Rep. James Francis Burke
of Pittsburg called to say that Pitts
burg is in the race for the Reserve
bank and is anxious to have hear
ing, word reached official ears that
some cities which have been consider
ed for banks are not anxious to be
so represented Mr.. Burke arranged
for his hearing but officials are Won
dering tonight just what would hap
pen when the committee encounters
bankers and business men in cities
big enough to have Reserve banks who
do not wish one.
According to the word that reached
Washington, there are several cities
which would prefer to have Reserve
banks located in centers like New
York and Chicago than in their own,
slnaler communities. Since the cap
italization of the Reserve banks rep
resents a percentage Of the capital
and surplus of its member banks,
Reserve bank in New York or Chi
eago would have vastly larger re-
sources and loaning ability than one
located, for instance, in Milwaukee,
or st. Paul and Minneapolis. If Bos-
ton were put in the New York dis
triet, the capital of the New York
Reserve bank would be so much the
greater and Boston might be able to
lake care of New England through a
branch of the New York Reserve bank
This side of the question probably
will be put before the organization
committee in a number of cities.

Sporting Editor Kennebec Journal.
Dear Sir:
We are asking you to publish this
challenge once more:
We do not know whether the man
ager of the Augusta Lightweights
basketball team overlooked our recent
challenge or whether the team is dis
banded; but if such is the case we
wish that he would come across with
some kind of an answer as soon as
possible as we would like to give them
a date or more on our schedule.
believe we did not state the floor
upon which the game will be played
If it is better for your team we will
play in Augusta on the floor which
you shall state in your answer to our
manager also we wish you to provide
for expenses for seven ca men. If
the manager of the team mentioned
above should happen to cast his eyes
on this polite challenge l wish he
would answer to our manager.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Pres. Joseph sLannin of the Red Sox
is considered a pretty fair golf player.
Joe Tinker is "a years of age, and
few ball players hold their speed after
passing that mark.
On Feb. Monte Carlo will have the
cards all stacked for the arrival OF
the baseball tourists.
Manager Carrigan has great faith in
Harold Janvrin showing top form the
coming season, and will consent to no
trade where Janvrin may be named.
There was a group of happy school
children in a little red schoolhouse in
Euclid township, o., Christmas day,
when Napoleon Lajoie acted as Santa
Claus.
One week from Monday = the base
ball clans will be in the limelight In
Cincinnati, and Pres. Tener will have
his first chance to shine as member
of the highest court in baseball.
A tip to the rule makers: Allow an
out at the plate when the catcher
touches the base with the ball before
the base runner arrives. This would do
away with blocking the runner by the
catcher and rough work by the run
ner.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing IN All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec ga reactionary ten
dency developed in the stock market to-
day Traders were more inclined TO
swing to the short side, and at times the
popular stocks were under heavy hre
from the bears. Pressure was not applied
steadily, however, and trading dragged
much of the time Only a few promi-
nent shares were forced Gown as much
as a point. The downward tendency of
the market was influenced by realizing
sales in stocks which had made large
gains recently and by the especial weak
ness of individual stocks. Canadian Pa
cific dropped to 204. the lowest price in
two years. New Haven was offered free
ly and at one time sold 81 peiow its best
figure of the day. Weakness of these is
sues gave the bears an opening and for a
time they made headway. IN the final
dealings, however, the list stiffened and
net changes were above the low level.
European selling was a factor In the
days movements, about 1900 shares hav-
ing been disposed OF for foreign account
Canadian Pecific'e weakness was due
largely to pressure from abroad. This
stock was sold on direct orders from the
continent as well as by London.
The copper shares felt the stimulating
effect of improved for a while but ulti-
mately joined in the general movement
Sales of the metal were said to be prin :
cipally for foreign account, domestic
consumers stin holding back The uncer-
