The Income Tax.

To my mind one of the strongest
features of the Underwood Tariff Bill
is the Income Tax, because ii requires
those who are ablest and have re-
ceived the greatest benefits, to come
to the support of the government, and
to that extent removes the burden
from the shoulders of the poor. In
stead of requiring every man who
buys a suit of clothes, pair of shoes,

FRENCH AMATEUR AVIATOR
Was MORTALLY WOUNDED

Paris. Oct. 2S, 2.10 A. M.-France
has lost on the battle field one of her
best known amateur aviators, DR.. Emile
Raymond, president of the National
Aviation Commission and member of
the French Senate. The Havss Agency
gives the following account of his
death:
"There had been very violent
combat in the region of Nerdun follow
ing an attack by the French to rescue
one of their aviators, Senator Emile
Raymond, who was wounded while
reconnoitering and fell between the
lines. The aviator was finally rescued
and when brought back to the ambu-
lance was able to give full and clear
report of his observations. Afterward
he was decorated with the insignia of
the Legion of Honor by the general in
command in the presence of Minister
of Justice BRAND. Then he died.
''When learned of the death of the
aviator President Poincare sent a
touching telegram of coincidence to his
widow, saying the death of Senator
Raymond would prove cruel blow to
all his friends. but that his magnificent
example of courage was an honor to the

Americans ORGANIZE FOR
THE RELIEF OF BELGIUM IN
FOOD CRISIS NOW PENDING

London, Oct. %, 11.25 P. NJ. (De-

tion of the American commission for
the relief of Belgium was completed at

will leave tomorrow for Brussels, where
they will take census of those in
need.
The Spanish Ambassador at London
and the Spanish Minister to Brussels
have been added 10 the commission and
their nationals will assist in the work.
The operations of the committee in the
food market have disclosed that, owing
to the desire of the British govern
ment that the stock of food in these
islands should mot be depleted by ex-
port and to the restrictions placed upon
such exports, it is extremely difficult
to find even emergency provisions in
England, and the receipt of such sup.
plies from across the Atlantic becomes
more imperative, 1t is said, than was
originally anticipated.
In Charleroi the food supply is ex,
hausted and the population is subsist'
ing on potato soup. A representative
of the local relief committee of Lege
who reached London to-day reported
that the people ire becoming restive
over the non-arrival of supplies. He
said it was practically impossible to OBJ
tain any food supplies in Holland and
that, unless supplies from America
were sent quickly, conditions in Bel
gium would become desperate.
The commission learns that all food
stouffs from America must come iii neu-
tral bottoms. The commission already
has purchased quarter of a million
dollars worth of fodstuffs in the name
of the American Ambassador at London
and the American Ambassador at
Brussels and the distribution will begin
among the local branches of the Bel
gian relief committee. .

FEATS WITH THE CAMERA
Difficult to Snap Fast Moving Object,
at Given Point

Only an expert. and he only after
much practice, can take photograph
OF rapidly moving object at pre-
determined point-for example, an ex-
press train with. the cowca tcher lust
ut white chalk mark on tie or
a baseball at the instant the bat
strikes it.
The reason for this is two-fold:
First there is II certain appreciable time
between the mental decision to do a
thing and the actual doing of it; sec
ond, it takes certain appreciable time
for the impulse given by pressing the
button or squeezing the bulb of a
camera to travel to the shutter and
open 1t, The latter may in very fine
camera be only one-iiftieth of Sec
ond. but even the fiftieth of a second
i'll train going 100 feet second
would mean difference of two feet.
{. II, Claudy in an article in the
Camera says that not more than once
i'll four attempts will even an expert
catch the precise instant he is seeking.
The average man snaps his camera at
the moment the ball is striking the
club or racquet, and by the time his
shutter has worked the ball has gone.
A tennis ball traverses nearly a mile a
minute when struck hard That is
ninetysiX feet second, so in a lag of
one-tenth of second between the
pressing Of the button and the opening
of the shutter the ball will move nearly
ten feet, and ordinary cameras work no
faster than this. So one need not won
der if the expert fails.

BIRDS AND BRAINS
The Canary Well Supplied, While the
Poor Hen Is Sadly Lacking

Naturalists have arrived at the con
cluson that the brain in birds is large
in proportion to the body. If it is ad-
mitted that intelligence depends upon
the weight of the brain then the gold
finch must be placed at the top of the
list of birds. The brain weighs one
fourteenth of its whole body.
1t must be remembered, however
that attempts to draw conclusions as
to the intelligence of certain birds from
comparison of the weight of the
brain with that of the body have been
considered futile.
In man the brain forms from one
twenty-second to one-thirty-third of the
whole body; in the canary, one-four.

Origin of the Word Mustard

Our English word mustard is
traceable to the French moustarde, .
the origin of which is curiously given.
In 1882 Philip the Bold, duke of Bur
gundy, granted to the town of Dion
the privilege of bearing his armorial
ensigns, with the motto ""Moult me
tarde' (''I wish ardently'), in return
for handsome contingent of thou
sand men furnished to him at its ex.
pense. Pleased with the royal con.
descension, the authorities ordered the
device to be affixed over the principal
gates of the city. Time or accident at
length obliterated the middle word, and
the two remaining, moult tarde, were
printed on the labels which the mer-
chants of Dijon pasted on pots in which
they sent this commodity all over the

French CRUISER DAMAGED
IN STRIKING Spanish ship

New York, Oct. 23.-Offieers of the
Spanish steamer Telesfora, which ar
rived here to-day from Buenos Aires
reported that the steamer was in colli-
sion with the French cruiser Descartes
in the harbor of Castries, st. Lucia,
on October 5. The cruiser was badly
damaged, according to the Telesfora S
officers, and had to be taken to Mar
Unique for repairs.
The collision occurred as the Teles-
fora was entering the harbor, her offic
ers said. They did not see the Des-
eartes till the cruiser was short dis
tance dead ahead Immediately, the
steamers engines were reversed and she
let drop her anchor. Her momentum,
however, was too great and she crash
ed at high speed full into the warship.
A boat was lowered from the cruiser
and two of her officers boarded the
steamer. They were very angry; the
Telesfora's captain feared they would
beat him.
After long and bitter wrangle the
officers went away and the Telesfora
was made to give a bond to make good
the cruisers repairs before the steam
er was permitted to continue on her
trip to Boston and New York.
Injuries to the steamer were found
to be insignificant, her officers said but
the cruiser was badly hurt and was
leaking. She was taken to Martini
que. The Telesfora is of approximately
2,70e tons.

When Seals Were Food

The gray seal used to serve Cornish
men as an article of diet. Stephen
Hawker tells how he and brother
clergyman, having asked landlady at
Boscastle what she could give them
for dinner, were told "Meat and taties.
They tried to get her to particularize
the meat, but "Meat, nice, wholesome
meat. and taties," was the full extent
of her information. When the meat
was served it tasted like veal, but was
unaccompanied by any vestige of bone
that might have enabled the diners to
infer its origin. Years afterward Haw-
ker lighted on the nature of the 'meat"
when he read in an old history of Corn
wall that "the people of Boscastle do
catch divers young soyles, which,
doubtful if they be fish or flesh,
conynge housewives will nevertheless
roast and do make thereof savory
eat"-London Globe.

INSIDE BASEBALL

the Afternoon

In the American Magazine" Eddie
Collins, second baseman for the Phila.
adelPhia Athletics, writes baseball ar
tiele entitled, Connie Mack and His
Mackmen, in which he describes init
mately the wonderful Philadelphia
baseball manager. Collins is the man
whom Johnny MeGraw, of the New
York Giants, calls the greatest base
ball player in the world. Following is
an extract from the article:
Every morning at 10 we gather in
the club house. If the team is on the
road, we meet in Connie IS room in the
hotel. We are never in session less
than ten minutes or rarely more than
half an hour. But in that time the
game to be played that afternoon is
sometimes won.
Every point of the defensive and
offensive strength of the opposing team
is discussed. Mack will mention the
pitcher that our opponents will prob
ably use and instantly scheme of at
tack is devised. This attack varies as
we meet different pitchers. Alawys in
those morning meetings Mack goes over
the entire situation-plans the battle. "
