 The color was adopted 10 years ago especially for use iu mountain fight ing. 1t and a sand colored yellow for the Italian troops is expected to take part in African desert fighting, as in the case of the Trpoli war.
 The Italian army was among the first to make a science of the question of uniform colors. It did not select, for instance, the horizon-colored uni form adopted more than year ago by the French, because, while this is invisible on roads and plains of flat, open country, it would not do well in the rains and muds and among the trees of the mountains.

Moscow, Jan. 15.- Through Miss
Broman, tax collector and treasurer
has received in her office approxi-
mately $218,000 of the 1914 Latah
county tax which totals $33O,O0O,
the Office force is still busily engag-
ed in checking over the sums re-
ceived by mail and sending out re-
ceipts and it will be some time be-
fore the data will be sufficiently
compiled to make and accurate esti-
mate of the amount of delinquency.
1t is believed that the delinquent
list will be extremely low this year.
In most cases the full amount of
taxes has been paid, though heavy
taxpayers have taken advantage of
the half-payment plan since no III
terest or penalty is charged on the
second half due until after July 1.
The work of recording remittance
and sending out receipts for taxes
paid is extremely heavy.
