Newspapers Turning Yellow

Many a dignified and respect
able paper finds itself driven at
last to admit the charge of
"yelloWness." The present tend
ency is so marked that in all
probability there will soon he not
one newspaper left in the United
States that isn't yellow.
Fortunately, however, this an
plies only to the newspapers
color-not to their character.
The war is responsible.
Readers may have noticed
lately the prevailing yellow tint
OF most newspapers, instead of
the usual white or bluish-white
tone. This is simply the color of
the wood from whose fibre the
paper is made. 1t has been GUS
tomary with most paper-makers
to get rid of this yellow tint bv
using a blue aniline dye, Just as
a laundress uses bluing to make
her linen look white. The war
embargo has shut off the supply
OF this dye, along with most
other aniline colors of German
origin. And because there isn't
any satisfactory substitute, the
paper is sold and printed in it's
natural state.
1t may be just as well, too, al
though it doesn't look so attrac-
tive as the pure white paper
contrasting with the black ink
Color experts say that cream
tint is more restful to the eyes
than glaring white. If it's a good
color for wall paper, why not for
a newspaper?-Anderson Intell-
igencer.

ELECTRIC CLOCKS TELL
where THIEF OPERATED

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 1S-Many
instruments recorded the exact mo-
ment of theft at the University OF
Washington, but gave no definite in
formation as to the place in which it
was committed or as to the identity
of the thief.
Officials determined that the theft
had been committed in an unoccupied
building on the campus, which later
will be used as demonstration cot
tage for home economics study. At
$3.50 o'clock the afternoon of the theft
all the clocks on the university elec-
trio system stopped. The master clock
was found to be running, and search
the next morning revealed that the
circuit had been broken in the empty
cottage, where the timepiece had been
torn from the wall. The thief also had
taken part of the telephone, increas.
ing the loss to about $40.

ATLANTIC FLEET GUNNERS
SET HIGHEST MARK IN 1915

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-Gunners
of the Atlantic fleet made during 1915
the highest averages of the fleets his
tory for target practice in the open
sea. This became known in connec-
tion with transmission to the senate
of the annual report of Admiral
Fletcher, commanding the fleet.
In transmitting the report, Secre-
tary Daniels wrote letter explaining
that certain conclusions reached by
Admiral Fletcher of a purely military
nature had been omitted, as it was be-
lieved their publication would be un-
wise.
1t was learned at the navy depart
ment that the admiraPs report dealt
with the shortage of officers and men
on vessels of the fleet. Secretary
Daniels letter is understood to have
stated that this condition had already
been overcome so far as it would be
met within the present authorized linn
it's of strength or personnel.

TRADE RESTRICTION NEXT
PROBLEM FOR UNITED STATES

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Now that Ger
many has conceded to Americas sub
marine demands, government officials
here were certain that the next great
international situation will relate to
restrictions placed on the trade of the
United States as a result of the war;
1t is well understood here that
Washington has been only waiting for
settlement of the submarine contro.
versy with the Teutonic empires be-
fore taking action.
Britons accept the fact that America
offered Germany no inducements in
bringing the submarine negotiations
to a successful conclusion, but they
are determined that freedom of the
seas shall not become phrase mean
ing assistance to Germany or the
building up of another nations COM
merce at the expense of England.
Englishmen generally realize that
Americans have suffered through the
British order-in-council, but they claim
the United States should realize and
recognize that the order was neces,
sary and unavoidable.

REVISED ESTIMATE OF
CITRUS fruit HARVEST
$500 CARS OF FRUIT Is 1916 YIELD
FOR SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
Navel Shipment Will Represent rs
Per Cent Crop-Fruit About Two
Weeks Early and Has Passed
Government Test Already

AZUSA, Jan. 18.-As a result of a
call from the Southern California
Fruit Growers exchange, revised esti-
mates of the shipments of citrus fruits
for the year 1916 have been made.
These figures. as compiled by the
Azusa G. G. fruit exchange, represent
ing seven packing houses in the San
Gabriel valley, show the estimates
made early in October to be practi-
cally correct.
Twenty-Five hundred carloads of or
anges and 800 carloads of lemons is
what is estimated will go east from
this territory. The navel shipments
will represent approximately rs per
cent crop and are running a little
large for the market. The Valencia
crop is now estimated to be good
one and will increase total returns.
The fruit is about two weeks early
on maturity and has already passed
the governments to 1 test. No snow
has fallen in this valley and practi-
cally no smudging has been required.
AS soon as the present rains stop, pick
ers will be sent into the groves and
regular shipments will start.
Holiday shipments going forward
from this section netted the grower
approximately So per box.
Growers and fruit men in general
are optimistic over the prospect for
good returns on the fruit shipments
for this year, as the marketing of. the
fruit is handled much better and finan
cial conditions of the country permit
of more sales.
RIVERSIDE, Jan. 18.-Fruit ship
ments for the past week were forty
three cars of oranges and seven cars
of lemons. This brings the seasons
output to date to 166, cars of oranges
and AZ cars of lemons. Packing
houses, whose work was held up by
the rains of the past few days, are
rushing operations this week, and the
output promises to be much the largest
OF the season. The fruit is running
good sizes, and growers are looking
for very satisfactory prices for the re-
mainder of the season.

CALIFORNIA Fifth IN
RECEIPTS FROM income TAX
INTERNAL REVENUE REPORT DIS
CLOSES INTERESTING FACTS
State Is Among Most Prosperous OF
the Nation-Over 5000 Corpora.
tions Operate at a Profit
19,481 Persons Pay Tax

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 18.-Californis
has one man who has an income O.
$500,000 a year.
More than 5000 corporations in Cal
ifornia showed an increase in profit ir
the last year and paid $1,666,9O9 in
crease on incomes into the United
States treasury through the Los An
geles and San Francisco Offices
Five Californians have incomes be
tween 100000 and $500,000 year.
Four CalifoGnians have incomes be-
tween 100000 and 100000 year.
California ranks fifth among the
states of the Union in the number OF
residents paying income tax.
These are some of the interesting
facts disclosed in the annual report OF
the internal revenue department
which showed that California was
among the most prosperous states OF
the nation.
One significant fact in the report is
that the 8,S16 corporations which con
fessed that they had operated at a
profit paid total of $1,666,909 into
the internal revenue Office in Los An.
geles and the internal revenue Office
in San Francisco.
The report showed that 19,4S1 per.
sons paid an income tax in California
in 1915. They were assessed for in.
comes varying from $4,000 to more
than $500,O00. The majority were UNI
der the $4,000 mark.
AS an argument in favor of mar.
riage, it may be emphasized that OF
the Californians whose incomes are
taxable, $3.50 are welded. The un.
married men, who pay income taxes,
total only 1854. AS another-and pos
sibly a stronger argument in favor OF
marriage may be mentioned that
1852 unmarried women have taxable
incomes.
