MADE POPULAR BY THE WAR
Newspaper Reader Calls Attention to
the Extensive Use of the Word
"MobiIize."

He was talkative fellow, and
there was no denying him.
Now, that" he said, slapping his
open newspaper, "is one funny thing
come out of the war. Here!" he ex-
claimed, and held up the page, point
ing to an advertisement which read:
STRAW Hats Modified in Our Window
Tomorrow" "Of course" he continued,
the newspaper reporter and the ad
writer can't report wedding or pro-
claim a bargain sale these days with
out employing the lingo of the mill.

ed, "is in the popular usage of this
here word mobilize lately come into
everybody's mouth. When number
of things of any sort are got together
into a bunch these days they are hui
morously said to be modified.
But" he remarked, when a man
has mobile face it is not because his
face is assembled. Doesn't anybody
remember" he asked, what the word
mobilize meant before the war? Well.
it means just the same today, and its
meaning does not alter as military
term. The process of putting an army
upon a war footing" he said, raising
his finger, "is called mobilization That
is, together with certain other activi.
ties, the men actually in uniform and
in barracks are supplemented by the
reserves, and the army is turned from
an incomplete and, SO to say, sta.
'tionary condition, into complete con.
dition in which it is loosed from all
local ties which hinder action. 1t is, in
short, rendered mobile.

the cause, very probably, of the popu.

there you are, the popular fancy, army,

ON WRONG SIDE OF STREET
Man Who Suffered Most From Acct
dent Was Violating Tranlc Ordi-

For Treatment.

Caught beneath his machine when
1t overturned after colliding with an
other automobile last night at 1870
o'cioc. at Harrison Street and Grove
Avenue, Roy Butler. d jitney driver,
who lives at Dumbarton, Henrico
County. sustained injuries that may
prove serious. Temporary treatment
was administered by DR.. Cease, of the
city ambulance corps, and he was
later removed to Grace Hospital.
Buffers car collided with another
Jttney. which was being driven by
c. j. Waters, 1901 West Main Street.
According to eye-witnesses of the ac-
cident, Butler was going east down
Grove Avenue, and as he neared Har-
rison Street he turned his car across
and started down tho wrong side OF
the street, which is a violation Of the
local trafic ordinances. Waters
started around the corner to 70 north
wardly on Grove. when he caught
sight OF Buffers car. Waters de-
ciared that he stopped his machine
short. but the other auto came crash
ing into 1t, overturning Buffers car
and catching him beneath 1t.
There were several passengers in
the car that overturned, but ali of
them escaped unhurt. Just as the
automobile hit the ground most of
them were on their feet instantly and
helped to remove the auto from But
ler's body.
When DR.. Cease reached the scene
Of the accident he found Butler in
an unconscious condition. An inves-
tigation disclosed that besides hurtin g
his shoulders and ribs he sustained
internal injuries. Sergeant Detective
Kellam. who has been assigned to the
case, went to the hospital late last
night, but the young man was still
unconscious. and he could not talk TO
him.
While the front OF Waters car was
badly damaged, including the radia-
tor. he and other occupants OF his
jitney were unhurt, suffering only a
slight jolt when the car hit The
machine that was being driven by
Butler was considerably damaged.
Last night the attending physicians
declared that Butler was getting
along as well as could possibly be ex-
pected.

Virginia Manufacturers Seek Relief
From What They Call Double
Taxation Burden.

Representatives Of manufacturers in

ville and other communities in the
State. In conference at the Jefferson
Hotel here yesterday. discussed the
State tax laws and gave Consideration
to suggestions made with a view to
securing relief from the double taxa
tion burdens they claim are imposed
They expect to secure conference
with Governor Stuart, Auditor Mobre
and Judge Prentis, of the State Cor
poration Commission. comprising the
State tax advisory board. and to lay
before that body and later before the
Legislature plans by which section 2
Of the new tax law may be so amended
as TO give the relief sought The manu-
facturers make it clear that they arc
not attacking the State law, but are
trying to cooperate with the State in
remedying a defect in the law which
discourages manufacturers from ex-
pending capital in making improve
ments and endorsements In their
plants or properties.
AS the State law now stands manu-
facturers say they are taxed not only
upon their assets. but upon their
liabilities: that they are taxed upon
borrowed money AZ though it were an
asset rather than liability Those
at yesterdays meeting are of the be-
lief that the law can be so amended
as to give the desired relief without
affecting in any way the vital points
Of the law and without endangerine
