TAX OFF|C|ALS WILL
END HONOR SYSTEM"
Revenue Stamp Shortage Will
Be Over in Few Days, Says
Treasury Department.

The honor system of collecting the
new revenue tax is soon to be brought
to an end by Treasury officials.
For many days merchants and dealers
of all kinds who are required by the law
to affix revenue stamps TO articles han
died and sold by them have not been
able TO obtain the stamps because OF
the limited supply and the difficulties
Of distribution TO all of the cities and
towns of the United States.

with stamps. but there has been such a
been unable to obtain them. Conse-
quently dealers and merchants. from
bankers TO 'barkeeps" are on honor to
keep tabs of goods sold and the amount
Of tax due.
This system viii be discarded in the
next day or two, however, as the sup
ply Of stamps at all points is becoming
plentiful, and there is no longer a good
excuse for not having stamps.
The fact that there are plenty OF
stamps now. is due to Director Ralph,
of the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. who anticipated passage of the
law. and had plates engraved in ad-
vance.
As soon as all stamps demanded are
supplied druggists. liquor dealers and
others who must stamp their goods. will

HUERTA HAS NO

HE MAKES HIS CABINET MINIS
TIERS AND OTHER OFFICIALS
SUIT HIS WHlMs

Mexico City, March 26.-After a
year in office General Huerta appears
in better health than when he under
took the presidency. The difficulties
he has encountered have left no stamp
upon his features. Six months ago
some of his friends and most OF his
enemies predicted early physical coli
lapse and there we're some who would
not have been surprised had his in
tellect suffered as the result of the
enormous odds.
Take things as they come" seems
to have been the lifelong philosophy
of Huerta, tempered always, however,
with the belief that all things come
to him who waits, especially to him
who waits for and seizes the big op-
portunity Worrying has never been
one Of Huerta's failings. Nor is he
a creature of routine. Regularity does
not characterize his methods. He
does his work when and where it suits
his convenience and all members of
his official family, the public, and his
private family as well have to yield
Long ago he tired of the regular
cabinet meetings and announced that
conferences with his ministers would
take place whenever he summoned
them, and there would be no place re-
garded as sacred to that ceremony.
And 50 it has come about that ques-
tions of the greatest import are as
likely to be discussed in his private
home as in the national palace and
not at all infrequently he sends word
to his ministers suddenly that he
would like to meet them that very
morning in the woods about Chapulte-
pee castle.
To the famous and ancient park in
which the castle is located he drives
in his automobile. His ministers, also
arriving in their cars, wonder in just

There are people in life one never
more than just brushes by: from
whom one gains nothing; to whom one
gives nothing. People who, though
they may be the pivot Of another's
life-and that's always very difficult
to realize and remember-are no more
to you than a family penciled draw

again and again, know all their rela-
tions, their personal history, admire
and approve But that is all. 1t is
no use arranging meetings; striving
to know each other better: you'll new
er get any nearer
Love and friendship are as inev-
liable as all else in this inevitable
world You may first meet at the an
tipodes and each go opposite ways
perhaps without even speaking. But
If you are native to each other you
will meet again and again. People
lose half their energy in contriving
and planning. They are like men who

Trick Of ski Jumping.

The art Of ski-jumping is not SO
easy as it looks before trying, nor so
hard to learn as it might appear after
the first attempt At the start, or
takeoff, come down as though you
were coasting on the ski, then at the
moment of the take-off bend the body
well forward from the hips and throw
as much of the weight as possible into
the knees. AS you leave the edge of
the jump straighten quickly at the
hips and secure as much as possible
the effect Of jumping straight out into
the air, While in the air hold the arms
as still as possible in the position that
best preserves the balance. keep the
ski points slightly down, as near as
possible parallel with the slope Of the
hill. The body should be perpendicu-
lar to the slope and the skis kept
well together. On landing, advance
one ski as far as possible without up
setting, bending the knee Of the leg
that is advanced. Keep the skis to-
gether and parallel. The rest is prac-
tice-and more practice Outing.
