Heavy Income Tax.

AS the first of July drew near the
income from taxes at the state audi
tors office at Charleston was espe-
cially heavy. In the mail of June 50th
alone more than $4,000 was received
in corporation license tax and auto
mobile license fees. On Monday pre-
ceding it was estimated that more
than $4,000 was received, there being
more than 1000 letters containing
money. The checks were larger than
in the past because the corporation
charter taxes were increased at the
last session. of the legislature. The
biggest check received was from the
Norfolk and Western railway for the
sum of $4,O44, making total of So
900 paid by that road this year. The
tax on the company last year was
$1,000 More than 700 motor car own
ers in the state paid their taxes OF
$40 each and the receipts from this
source was $1,000 1t is estimated that
the receipts from this source this year
will show a great increase over last
year, and last year it was nearly
double that of the year before.

They seem to feel we women never do

They really think they run the house
and everything that's in 1t.
But gee! they couldn't get along with

We women are the ones who keep the
woodwork shining bright
Who buy enamel for the bath to make

Ne women varnish tables and We buy
the stains for chairs.
A1A We buy the proper colof1 to
brighten up the stairs,
We women are the ones who say what

We women stain and wax the floors.

BUCHAREST 4 LITTLE PARIS
BuIit % = Capital Only, IL Il = Gay
City, Without Factories Has I
Famous Parl<s and Buildings.

The Roumanians have spared no ef-
fort or thought. says the National
Geographic society, toward making
Bucharest. their capital city, q real
capital and not Just one OF the larger
Balkan towns, cut to the severe de-
sign Of the modern commercial city
thnt II found throughout the West.
The whole history sef the Rouman-
1eng since the casting on Of the Tur
Klsh yoke has been one Of CONSERVE
tive progress leavened with enter
spkitS u thrift Hghtened BY keen ap
pleei4si0n of the eraheIl Attachments and
ple9sslrsa pk ilfe
And In Bucharest one finds more ar
tistic, literary, and scientific life than
In any other part of the peninsula. !,
Bucharest Is an attractive city of
broad boulevards and avenues, as be-
comes a capital, and has, like Paris,
Berlin and Washington, famous drives
and parks within its area, and ave
nue. Of parades," and geological and
botanical gardens.
The city is built in q hollow be-
tween the hills upon both sides of the
Dimbovitza river, which is crossed by
IL ornate bridges. ~@
There are some truly magnificent
buildings upon It's broad thorough
fares, among the most prominent Of
which are the royal palace, the univer-
sity, the National theater, and the
Palace Of Justice. Bucharest has
some sQualid sections, with narrow,
crooked streets, but these are, remin-
iscences of the Turkish regime, and
are fast disappearing.
While Bucharest does a consider
able commercial business, it Is Of no
Importance industrially.
Bucharest, like our own capital, has
been developed primarily as a capital.
The Roumanians have chosen Paris
and Vienna as their models. and have
produced judicious blending of the
two upon the much smaller Balkan
scale.
Bucharest has plenty of good music,
and its people who gather in the con-
cert halls or enjoy the free military
concerts in the evening along some
promenade are appreciative and criti-
cal listeners
Furthermore, Bucharest, as also be-
comes European capital, is a great
educational center. Its schools, acade-
mics, colleges, and university are mod
els for Balkan countries.

For ParaIIax investigation.

The last annual report of the OBJ
servatory of Yale university describes
the new instrument for parallax in
vestigation now being installed at the
observatory to replace the six-inch
heliometer heretofore used for such
observations. It consists Of a photo
praphic telescope Of fifteen inches
aperture and fifty feet focal length, to
be mounted parallel to the earth's
axis Of rotation. Light from the celes-
tial bodies will be reflected on the
lens from a thirty-inch silyer-on-glass
mirror, carried by an equatorial
mounting. This mirror will also d.
rect the rays Of light to another lens
of ten inches aperture, mounted close
beside the Photographic lens and hav-
ing it as the objective Of the guiding
telescope. The star images in the
field will, Of course, reyolve about the
axis of the lens, and means have been
provided for rotating the photographs

Cleanliness and Cash

1.-THE day has passed." says the bull
letin Of the Chicago health depart
ment, when a dealer in foodstuffs can
keep a dirty, hy-infested store and
hope to hold his trade. That this is
true Is due to the fact that today ev-
cry housewife knows that flies carry
unspeakable filth ON their feet and
that they leave It on whatever food
they are permitted to come in contact
with. And because this Is true, the
careful, intelligent women are doing
their household marketing in clean
stores. And, once more. this Is why
cleanliness counts for both cash and
customers"

ONE YEAR OF THE GREAT
EUROPEAN WAR.

The war has now been OH
a year, and there has been no
decisive battle SO far. There
is no immediate prospect of
peace. The most striking
events of the struggle so far
have been the battle of the
Marine, aud the invasion of
Russia.
The talk of a three years
war seems more probable than
it did three months ago.
