thousand Canadians who come un-
der the income tax law.
Even girl employed in a store or
factory at the munincent salary OF

from the tax. Her employer is re-
quired by the collector TO withhold

| WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-A sweep

cial stability Was made By Secre
tary of the Treasury McAdoo in his
annual report TO congress today.
"Our financial resources are the
greatest In our history and our bank
ing system. through the operation
OF the federal reserve system, Is the
strongest in the world" he said.
Commenting on business condi-
tons, the secretary declared one OF
the most encouraging features was
that the demand for iron and steel
products is heavier from domestic
than from foreign sources.
Among recommendations made IS
one that persons having a gross In
come OF $4,000 or more a year shall
Day an income tax. The law al pres
ent provides for net incomes OF that
amount. leaving II 10 the individual

Yetary advances arguments for its
discontinuance. He cites bad public
building conditions in many cities.
He supports the idea of govern
ment treatment of drug addicts by
the public health service or ether
government agency, and suggests
that the Harrison anti-narcotic act
be made more stringent
Concerning the public health ser
vice. the secretary urges upon con.
gress the necessity for more com
missioned medical officers and lar.
ger public health field investigation.
He points out that the United States
is the only country which does not
provide for the isolation and care
OF lepers. There are approximately
I46 Iepers in the United States. he
states, and congress Is urged to pass
a bill introduced at the last con-
gress for a national leprosarium.
Plans are being worked out by
the coast guard and navy, the sec.
retaIy says. TO make the former or
ganization a valuable auxiliary to
the navy In time OF war.
The secretary also calls attentior
to the saving effected by the trea
sury's innovation OF shipping money
by parcel post rather than express.
He recommends increasing the sal
aries of assistant secretaries from
$4,000 to $500. The present sal

Detroit Refuses To
Adept GrasshOpper
As New Society Pet

New York may have simplified It's
tastes and attuned its ear to the
beauties OF grasshopper melodies,
but Detroit remains complex.
Gothamites may worry over the
architectural preferences OF the in
sect, ponder the effect OF green or
gold upon his digestive apparatus
and debate the range and quality OF
his voice. but Detroit remains unap-
preciative. even derisive.
Furthermore, II you have a notion
10 take on a grasshopper. there's no
Grasshopper shop nearer than New
York. and florists, interior decorat-
ors and birdmen. are alike almost
abusive IL you broach the subject
here.
Slated by Fate to spend their
whole lives running the asphalt
streets between fiinty hedges Of
concrete, they say there are folks
IN New York who have yearned to
have the vivacious. meiodious little
creatures In their homes.
Making grasshopper cages has be-
come scme mems occupation. and
selling them the business OF little
shop In New York. Any number OF
able-bodied men swear hy them as
pets--so they say-and artists under
Chinese influence have declared a
grasshopper swinging on his perch
the final artistic touch OF refine
mcnt.
Certainly there seems to be a
wide divergence In our points OF
view. Whether its the contempt of
familiarity or merely a hard-headed
lack OF adaptibility, Detroit at the
present writing refuses TO embrace
the grasshopper socially. artistically
or commercially.
