Our Christmas holidays were the
most pleasantly spent in many years.
The early Christmas morning service
in simple dignity and, in the spirit of
reverence and worship surpassed any
thing we have ever known. The
tasty decorations added much to the
grandeur of the service.
On the 29th the Church Aid rem
dered a social drama which was en-
Enthusiastically received by the audi
ence. About $500 was cleared from
the entertainment. Miss Hattie Lo-
gan received first and Mrs. Holloway
second prize in the ticket selling con-
test.
The annual reports showed total
income from offerings to be a little
over 100000, with 1873 members add
ed to the roll, the majority OF whom
came by baptism.

munion service was held at Zion last

of hard work and hard fighting for
the people of Cook county.
Newspapers have lied, sneered and
struck savagely trying to destroy
him. Again, they have kept silence,
shut their columns to big news tell
ing their readers that this prosecu-
ting attorney is battling as powerful
gang of millionaires as ever cheat
ed the people out of tax money.
Here's the lineup: Schools run
cheap. Teachers threatened with>a
~ per cent cut in pay. Public Ii
brary run cheap, ranking lover than
New York, Philadelphia, Boston or
San Francisco in per capita expense.
Terrible shortage of tax money when
ever any scheme for unemployed
benefit or new play space for chill
dren or anything else is up for deci-
sion. ...... ...
Along comes states attorney and
puts up as desperate fight as could
possibly be made to force tax-dodg-
ing millionaires to come across with
more tax money. And the trust
kept by Big Business adj
vertising lie, sneer and strike saw
agely in belittlement of an. official
who is after having the revenue act
mean just what it says.
Year by year now for three years
Hoyne has forced from. julius Ros-
enwald, the rs-Roebuck head,
higher amount of personal property |
tax. m1912 when Hoyne took office |
Rosenyald paid taxes on $125,0OO of |
personal property.
Hoyne said: I'm going to en-
force the tax laws up TO the handle"
RosenwaId's personal property sched-
uIe jumped from $125, 900 in 1912 to
$2,51C, o76 in 1918.
Assessors found Hoyne riddle. He
had them guessing. So. in 1914 the
assessors went out and valued Ros-

! atty because Rosenwald didn't file a
schedule as the law requires.
Roy. o. West, Fred Block and Tom
Webb, the board of review, split this
assessment, cutting it to $3,766, 464-
At that, it was a raise over the year
before.
So it's gone higher. every year. And
yesterday it went still higher, the
personal property being valued at
$4,000,000. This is $233,626 over
1914. ----
Thousands of automobiles never
before on the tax books are on this
year. Assessor Dave Pfaelzer says
where he had only II voluntary
schedules of cars last year, he already
has 125 this year.
Exactly how much added tax
money Hoyne will pump in the coun-
ty treasury will not be known for
some weeks. On all sides it is adj
mitted, however, that there is live
lier rush to schedule personal prop
erty than ever before in the history
of Cook county.
There's a new deal in taxes. The
big fellows who have thrown the
main load of taxes on the small home
owner can't get their taxes fixed"
without a court fight with the states
attorney.
If things keep moving as they have
there will come a day when an as
SCISSOR won't have the nerve to deny
a newspaper reporter view of the
Marshall Field Estate tax schedule,
as Assessor Mike Sheridan did to a
Day Book reporter this week.
Assessor Dave Pfaelzer, who gives
out clearer line of explanations than
most of the other assessors, said yes

personal property scheduled for tax

Two Men Who Think as One,

In his book, Contemporary French
Dramatists." Barrett 81. Clark, writing
Of the famous collaborators, Flers and
Caillavet, quotes the latter in describ-
ing how their work is done:
"Our system of collaboration works
so well that | am really unable to say
which part of play is my own and
which my partners. In fact, we talk
a plot over. one of us rejecting an idea.
the other arguing in its favor. 1t is
curious, but often one of these discus
sions ends by my accepting my con-
frere's proposal and rejecting my own,
while he does the same with mine.
When we come to the dialogue we talk
it to each other. Thus it is made. not
written. We have come now, partly
as a result of our constant working to-
getber. partly as a result of our COM
mon tastes. to think as well as write
as single being"

comrade read his lessons to him
while he curried his horse and cleaned
his equipment. He studied at every
spare moment.
But not until he had served ten
years did he pass his examination
which gave him commission in the
Third Dragon guards. He was then
Twenty-Five. and the average second
lieutenant had about eight years the
start of him on the army list.
Clearly he would have to hustle If
he were to attain a high rank before
he reached retiring age In the course
OF lineal promotion he could never hope
to be more than a major. Special pro-
motion could come only through dis
tfnguishing himself. Ergo, he must
distinguish himself.
Four years after he had received his
commission he had won enough atten-
ton to be assigned to the intelligence
branch Of the quartermaster's depart
ment in India. There he found his Cd
portunity. Rewards are given officers
Tor learning native dialects. He set
himself assiduously to work and mas
tered several of the native dialects. He
ere long became known as an expert in
the Indian languages.
When the Chitral trouble came his
linguistic accomplishments and his
knowledge Of the country We're inval-
liable. He came out of the Chitral
campaign with the distinguished serv-
Ice order for services which included
gallantry I'm action when he was Sc
verely wounded.
On the staff throughout the South
African campaign he earned the praise
Of Roberts and Kitchener by his ca
pacity for getting things done when
others sometimes failed. When In 1910
he was placed in command of the army
stan college even use who agreed
he had shown himself to be the man
for the place were amazed at the
thought that q man who had been for
ten years private without any ground
work Of regular academic education
should become the director of an in
stitution which gathers the ablest off,
GERS OF the army for instruction In the
higher branches of war and gives the
character to army organization in time
of war.
But the stan college improved under
his direction. As director Of military
training at the war office he had much
to do with the preparation Of the
British expeditionary force. he went
to France with 1t as quartermaster gen.
erai and was responsible for keeping

impact that would result from the fall

Counting Pulse sesH

1T Is strange how few people know
what their normal pulse is" said q
physician. They know the average
pulse is about seventy. and imagine
that they are well OF otherwise as their
pulse approaches or departs from this
standard. 1t is true that an average
Of all pulses would give a result of
about seventy beats. but In no other
physical popularity is there such a
wide individual variation.
IL had two students In my Office at
the same time. both very strong and
remarkably healthy young men. The
normal pulse Of one was forty-seyen
and the other ninety three. This differ
ence is unusual. few pulses falling be-
low sixty or rising above eighty In a
healthy subject, but an unusually slow
or rapid pulse is no indication what
ever of disease. as is popularity sup
posed to be the case.
Most people overestimate their pulse.
as they often count its beats when
talking about the matter, and It is a
fact well known to physicians that the
excitement of conversation will quick
en- the pulse from five to twenty beats.
The best time to arrive at the true nor
