COURT DECIDES BABY
NEEDS $500 A DAY
NOT TOO MUCH FOR ASToR
CHILD, WHOSE CARRIAGE
ROBE COST $3.50.

John Jacob Aston, four years old,
snuggled down under a $3.50 carriage
robe and went to sleep. He was be-
ing bored. His mother, guardians
and officials were arguing over such
an unimportant matter as finances.
When he awoke he found that the
surrogate court of New York city had
decided that he needed SIS day for
living expenses.
The youngster, whose father of
the same name went down with the
Titanic, has an income of $4,000
year. His mother, Mrs. Madeline
Force Aston Dick, said he needed the
above amount for living expenses.
Surrogate Fowler and Cornelius Sui
livan, special guardian of the multi
millionaire child, then went into the
question.
Has Heavy Taxes and Expenses
The first question they encounter
ed was whether or not four-year-
old child should pay third of the
expenses of the household. They also
pondered over the question of his
paying third of the taxes. Then it
was decided that he should bear
these expenses, so his daily allowance
was increased.
Young Aston now pays an income
tax amounting to $2,72O. The mink
carriage robe added $3.50 to his liv-
ing expenses. He was i'll during the
past year and the five physicians
who took charge Of him charged
$6,523 to restore his health.
John Jacob had been living be-
yond his means. His mother said
that between November, 1912, and
January, 1916, she was forced to pay
$4,000 for bills her son had con-
tracted above the amount that he was
! allowed out of his fathers estate.
When the young Astor becomes of
age he will inherit more than 49,
100000.

SENATE RECONSIDERS
SMITH AMENDMENT
IN THE DEBATE THE PRESIDENT
WAS CRITICISED IN NO
UNCERTAIN TERMS.

WASHINGTON, D. Go give
administration leaders opportunity
to explain the reasons for their in
sistence on the embargo and news
papers censorship sections of the ad
ministration espionage bill, the sem
ate closed its doors to-day when IT
took up that measure.
Senator's understood the govern
ment had information to show that
under present conditions information
of military value is getting to the
enemy and that the censorship Sec
ton would stop it.
Senator Martin, the democratic
leader, told the senator's President
Wilson had called him to the white
house and said he would be embar
raised in dealing with the question
of supplies getting to Germany if the
senate passed the embargo section as
amended with restrictions last week.
Senator Martin plead with the SEN
ate TO stand by the president. There
might be difficulty, he said. in OBJ
tanning facts to support an embargo
and the senate should be willing to
leave the question to the judgment Of
the president.
At 5:15 the senate closed its exc
cutive session, which had continued
since 1915, and opened the doors. 1T
was Immediately announced that the
amendment offered by Senator Hoke
Smith, to the embargo section of the
espionage bill and approved by the
senate last week, had been reconsid-
cred and withdrawn in executive SEES
sion. Discussion Immediately opened
on the embargo section as originally
submitted by the administration.
The executive session gave many
senators their chance to air their
grievances against the president, and
they did so with vengeance. From
both sides of the chamber the execu-
tive was criticised in no uncersaIna
terms for not sharing vital informa-
ton with congress.

added to charges against newspa-
pers under new system based upon
the present parcel post zones. Inter-
nal revenue taxes upon liquor and
tobacco would be materially increas-
ed, and there would be taxes on
amusements and stamp taxes of wide
scope.
Among other things to be taxed
are telephone and telegraph messages,
electric power for heat and light,
moving pictures, insurance policies,
jewelry, chewing gum, musical in
struments and practically everything
else except food, known to the hu-
man race.
Men, Women and Children
VIII Pay.
The population of the United
States on Jan. l, 1917, has been es-
timated at 102,826,3O9. Applying
the ratios developed in the census
of 1910 there are at the present
time 40,0O0,000 of these engaged in
gainful occupations More than 30
100000 are men, the remainder wo-
men and children.
Wage specialists like DR.. Scott
Nearing have estimated that only
one of every ten adult males earns
$1,000 or over each year. Therefore.
there are 100000 men who earn
$1,000 or upward annually. The scale
for women is considerably lower
among the wage earners; hardly
more than one woman in thirty gets
more than $1,000 year. From these
figures there must be deductions for
the class exempted by marriage. They
do not have to contribute to the levy
unless they earn $500 or more.
With more exemptions the govern
ment collectors believe they will have
100000 returns for the 1917 tax.
1t is likely that the heaviest weight
will fall on the farmer. In the com
putations of the census department
relating TO occupations one-third of
the country's workers are shown to
be engaged in agriculture, forestry
or animal production. No statistics
are available for the earning power
of the farmers, but with the new de-
mands for their produce, with world
markets open to them, it is certain

GOVERNMENT is SEEKING
MANY BILLIONS OF BEES

Uncle Sam VIII combat Sugar Short
age With Honey and Asks Bee
Owners to Double Output.
Uncle Sam is enlisting the SER
vices of 6,OOO,OOO,OOO swarms of
bees to help fight Germany. They will
be expected to gather enough honey
to help offset the sugar shortage.
DR.. E. F. Phillips, government bee
expert, has sent circulars to bee
keepers asking their aid in this great
undertaking. He hopes that the pro-
duction of 250,000,00O pounds of
honey last year will be increased by
100,000,000 pounds this year. He
also asks bee owners to double the
number of their swarms this year, if
possible. Last years production of
honey amounted to a little more than
two per cent. of the country's con-
sumption of sugar.

One of these two pictures shows a
panoramic view of the city of Trieste,
against which the Italian attacks are
aimed. Loss of this city will be a
very severe blow to the Austrian
cause. The other picture illustrates
the manner in which Italian wound
ed are carried by cable down the
steep mountains which have barred
the Italians way to Trieste. This
city is the principal seaport Of Aus
tria-Hungary and the most important
depot for the trade Of the empire on
the Adriatic. 1t is bishops see, the
seat of an imperial academy, has a
school of navigation and many other
schools and educational institutions.
There are also extensive manufacture
ing establishments. Trieste existed
in Roman days, but became impor-
tant only about the middle of the
eighteenth century, when it's growth
was fostered by the Empress Maria
Theresa.
