What Your Boy
Is Doing

WASHINGTON, Dec. is. - The
eyes Of the army are In the signal
corps
Perhaps the signal corps might
be called the brain of the army. At
any rate, most OF the thinking Of the
army must be done through the
channels OF the signal corps.
Establishment OF lines of com
munication is the primary duty of
the signal corps. II an observation
point is set up in an exposed position
some miles from an artillery bat
terry. il falls upon the men Of the
signal corps TO string either a tele-
graph line or a telephone line to
the observer from the commander
OF the artillery battery.
Trench telephones must be in
stalled and kept in repair. This is
the work Of the signal corps There
was a time when the communica-
ton between troops and units OF n
army might be done by flag signal
ling or by heliograph. but this has
been surpassed by the more modern
telephone connections. Signal
corps men run great hazards in lay
ing lines OF communication and
their work is not at all undanger-
Gus
Observers are almost always
chosen from the signal corps. They
are the men who are chosen TO un-
dergo great dangers in order to learn
what the enemy is doing and what
the effects OF the heavy gunfire are.
With the present organization of
the army the work of collecting
much OF the data OF the war falls
or the shoulders OF the signal
corps. The official photographers
and motion picture men are all at
tached to the signal corps.
Signal corps men are mounted,
and in most cases under present war
conditions they are equipped with
fast motor vehicles instead OF horses.
These men are never called upon
10 do any actual fighting. although
they are often exposed TO greater
dangers than the men who do actual
fighting. but have the protection of
the trench walls and mbankments.
Had the hero Of Marathon been a
modern fighter he would have been
attached 20 the signal corps The
heroic courier Of the olden days is
almost a thing OF the past. Orders
are flashed over electric wires and
the signal corps messenger has little
or no chance of saving the tide Of a
battle by dashing up to the COM
handing officer with a strategic
plan.
Signal corps men may be distin-
guished by the orange and white hat
, cord Their collar insignia is two
/ crossed flags.

mer. of the National Council Of Cot
ton Manufacturers, Charlotte, n. c.,
and Henry Walters. chairman of the
board OF directors. Atlantic Coast
Line and Louisville & Nashville rail-
ways.
These men are bringing TO the ad-
ministration the viewpoint of the
Taxpayer and the real condition OF
our country's industries. Their
functions, as their title indicates,
are purely advisory. They make
suggestions in the framing OF regu-
latons by which IL is purposed 10
apply the excess profits provision in
way that each business enterprise
may render to the government the
full amount due without embarrass-
ment and without abatement of its
productive powers.
Eminent Lawyers Help.
The appointment OF Samuel I'm
termyer OF New York, John Barton
Payne of Chicago and A. A. Ballan-
tine OF Boston as legal advisers TO
the commissioner Of internal rev.
enue, is an assurance 10 the pu bile
that the interpretations of various
provisions Of the act are TO be dealt
with in the light of the broadest
legal knowledge available. Like the
excess profits advisers they are serv-
ing the government without COM
pensation. giving to the work as
much of their valuable time as is de-
manded.
A third important Office is that OF
supervisor of taxpayers coopera-
ton. His task is. by keeping in close
touch with the public, 10 collect
business suggestions for the depart
ment and 10 inform the Taxpayer,
through every possible channel. how
to comply with the law and admins
trative regulations.
The immense task confronting the
bureau OF internal revenue neces-
sarily has resulted in an increase in
its forces. The office force, since
July I, has grown from sos to 1877
and the field force from 4.1S5 TO A.
1893. responsibilities and duties have
been fixed in a way so that every
man knows what is expected of him.
In the final analysis the success
of these various agencies depends to
large extent upon the cooperation of
the taxpayer. Whether he be taxed
two percent on an income of less
than $4,000 or so percent on an in
come in excess of $1,000. 600. let him
remember that every cent goes to-
ward winning the war. With this

by the American people in the same
generous and patriotic spirit in
which they responded TO the Liberty
loan?

Stranded thu Trea

A Victoria clergyman had an orange
and a pine tree in his garden. One
spring 1t was noticed that the orange
tree was dropping, and on digging
down he found that the roots Of the
pine, which stood at some distance,
had twisted around the taproot Of the
orange tree and were strangling 1t to
death. The offending roots were I'M
twisted and cut away, and the droop-
Ing plant revived. The tree eventually
died. Then on digging down at a
greater depth the clergyman found the
pine had attacked the orange root low
er down and accomplished its murder

LOOkS Bad for RefiHerS

The state probe into the price OF
gasoline was started In Tulsa ycster-
day morning. when w. H. Crittendon,
appointed by Attorney General Frccl-
ing, placed many prominent oklahoma
rcfiucrs on the stand for hearing.
Among those questioned were Manager
Nofftt Of Cosdcn 4 CO., "Captain'
Coustantiu Of the Constantin Refining
company and Myers Gross Of the Fan
American Refining company.
The state is conducting the hearing
with u view of setting fixed price for
gasoline in oklahoma provided they
find out that the Standard oil COM
pany Is regulating the price unfairly.
That is provided they have no excuse
for raising or lowering H. They are
putting many of the Independent re
fincts ON the stand here and Will CON
duct the hearing Of the Standard OH
companies. the Magnolia, Pierce and
standard of Indiana, nt their head Of
fccs In Dallas. St Louis and whiting,
Ind respectively
Provided the investigation reveals
the fact that the Standard Is manipul-
nting the price as II secs fit, which Is
the case, the state intends regulating
the price upon the basis of How
much does II cost the refincrs To pro-
ducc gallon Of Rnsoline?'
From the testimony offered, II APP
pearcd difficult proposition when II
comes to figuring this out as each re-
finer has his own pet process Of rcfin-
Ing crude and consequently there IS
u great difference in the cost per gal
Ion To produce.
Also the different refined products
are affected by more conditions than
is ordinarily expected. notable among
these is fuel oil and marketing condi-
tion. which should not he overlooked.
II is generally believed among re-
fincrs that the thing can never he
made a success without regulating the
price of crude along with the gasoline.
because. as soon as the state would
get everything fixed Tor posted mar
kct price for gasoline, the Standard
could raise the price OF crude and
throw the officials off their feet for
a price ratio. Tho Independent refincr
Is paying premium and this Will have
to be taken into consideration.
All In all the state will have to he
very careful that 1t docs not do worse
instead Of better because II is evident
that II too low a price is set for gaso-
line n is liable to force the indcpen-
dent rcfincr from business and in that
way do the Standard more good than
