A family in town has a bright color
ed man working around the place; he
reads the papers and keeps up to
date, and he likes to discuss the news
with Others, in order to keep his
/, opinions clarified.
The other day his employers son
said to him: well, Thomas, what do
you think about this war over in
Europe?"
"Ain't it turrible?" responded
Thomas. "Yessuh, it is sho' a awful
thing. But I'll tell you what. One
day we read in de papehs dat de
French has licked, an another day
dat the Rooshins has licked, an an
otheh day dat de English has licked.
But l don't take no stock in all dat
news. If you-all reads close, you'll
see dat de Allies is de ones OATS
lickin' EN- all. Amt dat funny? An
nobody never done heard Of dat coun-
try before disyere wah started"

His favorite one relates to a case
in which he appeared as counsel. In

Gus burglar.

"You knew he vas a burglar when
you married him." he proceeded.
81 did," she admitted.
"How could o possibly marry
such a mani" Mr.. Plowden demanded.
"Well, it was like this" the wit
ness explained confidentially. Il was
getting old, and two chaps wanted to
marry me. 1t wasn't easy to choose
between EN-, but in the end I married
Bill there. The other chap vas a
lawyer, same as you, sir"

A hasty conclusion might lead one
to believe that sending a comprehen-

will merely be adding more dollars to
the pile that former Iowans have tax

delusion that they were going to a

kept clearly in mind that the so-cahed
war taxes are not made necessary by
the war, although that may have on
tributed a little to the Immediate
need for the tax, but are made neces-
sary by the failure of the demo-
cratic tariff to produce enough reven
ne for the uses Of the government.
And this has occurred, Too,
standing the fact that there now ex-
ISIS in addition to the tariff duties and
internal eyenue taxes, a tax on cor
porations and an income tax. The in
come tax was greatly over-estimated
by the tariff bill writer's. The tax on
CORPORATIONS does not produce much
revenue. With a deficit growing month
by month, because the democratic tar
if plan has failed, congress has to re
sort to special direct taxes. About

Obliged to stop and survey the four

which machines are going to turn the
corner under his nose or over his

The auto driver turns a corner without
blowing his horn, when pedestrians
are crossing the street, whether ne
kills anybody or not, should be clap

RADIUM ORE DEPOSIT
in PENNSYLVANIA,

With the prominence given to the
subj ect of radium. some interest at
taches to a brief report by Edgar
7. Wherry describing a deposit of
carno,ite near Mauch Chunk, Pa,
published as Bulletin 580-H Of the
United States Geological Survey.
Carnotite is one of the radium-besr-
ing minerals, and this deposit is be-
ieved to have been formed by pre-
cipitation from the ground water
and can now be seen in process of
formation where water trickles out
through cracks in the rocks. The
deposit is of significant interest, but
the present knowledge regarding it
is insufficient to warrant any state
ment as to its worksbility. So far
as is now known the total area cover
ed by the carno,ite- bearing lenses is
very small, the observed outcrops
being confined to a strip but a few
hundred feet in extent. A copy Of
Wherry's report may be obtained by
application to the Director. United
