WARM WAVE COMING,
WEATHER MAN SAYS
Cold Spell Only a Visitor and
November Will Come in Mild
Season.

This cold spell is but a casual Wis
itor. says the Weather Bureau u today
to Washingtop's overcoated popula-
tion. Indeed. the weather man says
it's getting warmer every hour and
winter hasn't really arrived. BY to-
morrow one may go to the races or
the football game without Juggling a
topcoat; along-unless he's most sus-
ceptihle to atmospheric changes.
The w Gather Bureau saIo today
that it is preceptIbly warmer all
through the West. after n day and
night. of freezing weather, and the
warm waves of temperature are
gradually extending over the Allan
tic seaboard. There was frost last
night. however. as far south as
Georgia and Alabama. The visitation
Of frGst did little damage. thinks the
weather man, as the crops are about
all in.
Frost was general along the At
lantic coast last night and the tenn
pcrature fell to the freezing point in
many places. A bit of ice was seen
here and there in Washington, says
the Weather Bureau, but at 10 o'clock
today the temperature had risen to

ing warmth. The general forecast.

Then there will be a period of mild
weather to usher out October.

CARY FINDS JOKER"
IN TOBACCO TAX
Wisconsin Congressman Sharp
Iy Raps Underwood and the
trust"

In an extension Of his remarks In
the Congressional Record. Congress
man Cary OF Wisconsin has bitterly
assailed the tobacco trust" and
sharply criticised Leader Underwood
OF the House and Senator Simmons in
the Senate.
Mr.. Cary denounces the manner in
which the tobacco tax Is imposed.
He holds it hits the little dealer. His
remarks are of the more interest just
now because the Internal Revenue
Bureau has discovered what many re-
gard as a joker in the war tax law.
The enect of 1t is to require that
each person. firm or corporation en-
gagged in the manufacture Of tobacco.
cigars or cigarettes be treated as a
single manufacturer.
Mr.. Cary said:
In this oppressive tax measure
they tax the small dealer and con-
sumner and let the big trusts go scot
free. Mr.. Underwood jammed the to-
bacco schedule through the House
without discussion in just three
minutes In a shape which permits
the trust to rob the consumer Of one
quarter of the tobacco which he for
merly got for his money by the
simple expedient Of reducing the size
of the packages which were formerly
fixed by law In multiples of two
ounces each. Now they make any
size package they please in multiples
of one-half ounce each. Formerly the
workingman got two ounces for his
nickel; now he gets one and one-half
ounces. This robbery enables the
trust to pocket $55.000,000 extra an
nually and escape without an extra
cent Of taxation

INFLUX OF ALIENS
Victims of the War Who Come
Here Are to Be Sent to Agri-
cultural Districts.

Department of Labor officials are
preparing for a large flood of imni-
grants from Europe. They expect this
to begin even before the war ends

being made to distr. butte this imm.gra-
tion SO it will keep out Of the crowded
industrial centers and will enter the
agricultural districts. IT is felt by the
officials that the farmers need labor
whereas immigrants are not needed In
Industrial centers.
The plan for a Government employ
ment service is being revived This
has been tried at different times with
out much success. Now. compre-
hensive scheme to utilize agents of the
Department of Agriculture. immigration
officials at the ports OF entry. and post
office officials, Ia being worked out.
Information will be gathered by the
postoffice officials concerning need Of
men and county agents of the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Immigration
officials will cooperate. 1t rs thought
the railroads will aid in offering low
passenger rates to workers who are
seeking jobs.
1t Is expected the prospective flood
of immigrants will lead to stronger
agitation for new immigration laws, but
there is no Indication Of such legislation
in the short session.

A number of instructive papers on
different lines of Sunday school and

able recitation entitled "rhe Two Low

selves in providing such fine layout
of eatables for the hungry mob.
Now came the ladies' turn when the
