INTERNAL REVENUE
McAdOO Says collections for
Fiscal Year May Reach
%5O1,OOO,O 600.
LIQUOR RETURNS JUMP

WAsHrSGToS. May 90. - Secretary
McAdoo rave out a statement tonight
announcing that interna, revenue COL
lections for the present fiscal year will
probably total S501, 200. 900. This esti-
mate Is based on the fact that collections
for the first ten months of the year
from so-called Ordinary" sources have
81 already an increase of s13.6oO.-
600 in addition to the increase Of ap-
proximately 500 900. 900 in the years in.
come tax collections.
The McAdoo statement gives the pro-
h%ibitionists something to think about, for
II discloses that collections on DISTILLED
spirits In the first ten months OF the
year exceeded those for the same period
last year by more than 10000. 600
despite the fact that several states have
entered the dry" column in this period
This part of the McAdoo statement con.
flicts with the following excerpt from the
last annual report OF the Commissioner
o. Internal Revenue:
There is "A notable decrease in the
receipts from distilled spirits and fer
mentei liquors. This. in the main. caIf
probably be attributed 70 the prohibition

and colorado. Idaho. Low A. Oregon.
South Carolina. Virginia and Wash
ington have passed prohibition laws
which will become effective in the
near future and undoubtedly this has
had and will continue to have effect
upon internal revenue receipts

Mr.. McAdOO's Com mrnt.

AS a result. Of the great prosperity
Il the country and the effective and
! vigorous enforcement OF the internal
revenue laws by the Treasury Depart
ment Internal revenue receipts are pour
inr into the Treasury at rate far In
excess OF all forecasts" says Mr..
McAdoo.
THE income from this source will
reach the enormous total OF s+9i, 600. 900
and probably s50i. 900, 900 by June 30,
1915. the end Of the current fiscal year.
This gratifying estimate OF receipts
which emphasizes the great strength ot
the Treasury in this extraordinary period
is made on the basis Of a report just
received from Commissioned Osborne OF
the Bureau OF Internal Revenue.
The great boom In business Is largely
responsible for the Increase in the re-
ceipts from ordinary Internal revenue

Peter was glad OF this. 1t is bad
10 run on a very full one. So Peter
didn't hurry. He took his time.
and his mind was filled with pleas
ant thoughts OF the good time he
had had In Farmer Browns garden
and the good times he intended to
have there in the future. Peter
was half way to the dear Old Brier
Patch when he felt a tiny pain in
his stomach.
Guess l over-ate a little," said
he as he hoped along. Presently
that little pain began to grow, as
little pains have way OF doing,
and almost in no time II was a big
pain. Peter stopped and pressed
both hands against his stomach.
There was no doubt about Il. Peter
had a stomachache. Yes. sir, Peter
had a stomachache. Gracious me,
how II did ache! You know Peter
has very big stomach, and there
Ia room for lot OF ache as we'll
as a lot OF food II ached worse
and worse. and finally Peter Just
had to lie down.
"Oh. dear!" groaned Peter. ct
wish ! hadn't eaten so much. I
guess ] must have made a pig of
myself" This was very true.
though II was a surprising thing for
Peter to admit IL. Probably he
wouldn't have admitted Il II there
had been any one to hear him. Aft.
er little the pain was not so hard,
and he went on. But he felt very
sick, and every minute he felt more
sick. He began to feel weak In the
legs. They felt wobbly. He began
to wonder II he ever. ever could
reach the dear Old Brier Patch.
oh" moaned Peter. "Oh, deari"
groaned Peter.
Every few hops he stopped to lie
down. But he didn't dare stop long.
He must reach the Old Brier Patch.
II wouldn't do TO be too sick 10
move until he did reach there.
How he did wish he had kept away
from Farmer Browns garden He
knew II was what he had eaten
that had made him so III. He
thought II was because he had eaten
too much Still he had been sick
from eating too much before, but
never anything like this.
I'll never. never 20 there again."
sobbed Peter "a be struggled on.
Would he never reach the dear Old
Brier Patch7 He began 10 be very
much afraid that he wouldn't. But
I've did. 1t seemed to him that Il
rad taken him all night TO get there.
though OF course, Il hadn't, when at
last he crawled in under the friendly
bramble bush at the entrance TO
one OF his private little paths, and
Just dropped right down there pant
ing and feeling very. very badly in
