for Tax Bill In Making
Formal Report.
GAG RULE WILL APPLY
Republicans Up in Arms Against Order
Under Which Debate Will Be
Staged Tomorrow.
GAG. RULE WILL APPLY

The Democratic majority of the House
Committee on Ways and Means yester-
day made its formal report on the war
revenue bill.
That the war, and not the shortcomings
OF the Democratic tariff law. was the sole
occasion for such legislation was indi-
Gated in the first paragraph of the re-
port, which said:
THE necessity for this legislation
grows out of the reduction OF revenue
derived from customs receipts caused by
the disturbed conditions resulting from
the war in Europe"
Tables show Receipts.
The following table showing the estI-
mated effect of the war on customs re-
ceipts appears in the report:

PAN-AMERICAN UNION
SOUNDS CAUTIOUS NOTE
Warns About Reports that Do Not
Point Out the Unusual CONNER
cial Conditions of Republics.

The effect Of the European war on the
commercial situation in South and Cen
traI America is summed up in a state
ment compiled from replies to cable in
quiries sent to thirty-four South Amer
ican commercial centers by the Pan
American Union.
A note Of caution is sounded in the
statement asking that the general public
form no wrong impressions from re
ports purporting to describe the Latin
American commercial field without
pointing out the unusual commercial con-
ditions."
The assistance most needed is in the
way OF money advances, reasonable
credits and an actual market for the raw
products which usually go to Europe.

n PREHISTORIC man is continually
becoming palmer to our eyes as
science clears away the mists OF
early time. and the more we see Of
him the more we find to admire in his
achievements.
Recently extensive explorations have
been undertaken Of the mines that were
dug by men OF the Neolithic age at
Spiennes, not far from the present city
Of Mons, Belgium
Minesi What had prehistoric man
to do with mining? What was he dig
ging for?
Digging for that which to him was
as valuable and as Indispensable as iron
Is for us-flint- He knew nothing OF
metals, but he had to have spear and
arrow heads for himself, kitchen
knives for his wife. and a variety Of
working tools TO keep the whole family
from mischief and he made these
things out Of flint
The first makers Of flint tools and
weapons were very rude craftsmen. and
they took their raw material wherever
they could find it-a chunk Of flint
picked up here or there served their
purpose. But early man was not long
in demonstrating that he was no slave
Of mere instinct, like bees and ants
and other animals which know no pro-

same way for million years. His IN

There is a mistaken idea that

A. Pitt. Of the local corps. Il read in
the papers that Los Angeles had pro-
htbited the collection Of money on the

funds were sent abroad instead Of being
used at home. This is not true as my

But the colonel does not base his ef-

peal 10 the judgment Of the people Of
the south as a whole, or 10 the patriot
