The Vote Postponed.

The situation in the Senate as respects
the revenue bill is uncertain. Last week
opened with hope of vote at the close.
The hope was disappointed. This week
opens with hope of vote at the close.
And that hope may be disappointed.
And SO it goes. But hope springs eternal
in the senatorial breast.
The controversy is warm, and still
a-heating. Both sides are in dead
earnest. Both are well led Mr.. Sim
mons and Mr.. Lodge know their subject.
and also the "ropes." Mr.. Borah and
his friends are equally alert, well in
formed and experienced in legislation
1t is very pretty quarrel as it stands.
The feature of the measure promising
the liveliest discussion approaches. Tax
ing war profits brings war directly into
the picture. Those profits have been
very large. They are likely to continue
large while the war continues. They
will cease, of course, when the war
ceases. Tax them heavily, it is urged,
while they exist.
But to tar them too heavily would in
jure, and might destroy, their sources,
and those sources are connected with
the regular business of the country. A
wide and serious disturbance of business
at a time when it is expected to con-
tribute literally to the revenue supply
might work heavy disaster. Golden eggs
being necessary, the fowls that produce
them have claims on attention.
Incomes and war profits are legiti
mately subject to tax levy, and should
be laid under tribute. Tax them, but
with regard to future as to present
revenue needs. The government re-
quires money now, but will re-
quirs more, and may require it more
urgently, later. The wars developments
are creating demands beyond all origi-

nal calculations. For millions we are
all reading billions; and billions being
necessary must be supplied.
Time spent by the Senate in perfect
ing the revenue bill should prove SO
much subtracted from the conference
allowance. There will be a tussle in
conference no matter what action. the
Senate takes The House will appear
at the meeting in militant mood, not
maybe insisting on the bill it passed,
for since then many changes in the sit
uation have taken place, but still with
views of its own in opposition to the
Senate's views. The two bodies are far
apart on what the emergency calls for.

HEED BAD DOORS.
They May Warn You Of Places Where
Disease Germs lurk,

Even bad odor has its uses. Sci
entists say that the offensive smell
which comes from decaying and dis
ease breeding matter is in reality one
OF natures measures of preparedness
and Of prevention.
Offensive Odors indirectly prevent the
spread Of epidemics by calling atten.
ton TO the breeding place OF the dis
ease. They give warning that some
thing is wrong. and they persist Ia this
warning by becoming more and more
offensive until the wrong is righted.
The odor does not convey the germ
or communicate the disease. because
In most cases direct contact is neces.
sary to do this. or the infection is
communicated by some substance tax.

A DESTRUCTIVE WAR
MACHINE BEING BUILT
For U. S. Army-To Be Operated
By a Flying Squadron
When Finished.

New Albany, Miss.-Maurice
Reed, contractor and electrician and
one of the brightest young men in
Union county, is about to perfect,
with the aid OF the United States
Government, : destructive electrical
machine to be operated by a flying
squadron, which, if perfected. will
unquestionably make this young
scientist a reputation equal to the
great Edison. Mr.. Reed has made a
miniature machine which he has
been operating at his home, setting
fire to conbustibles at distance by
electrical devices, and now has the
matter up with the bureau of stand
ards of the government at Washing
ton and also with the General Elec-
trio Company of Pittsfeld, Mass,
and the Westinghouse Electric &
Manufacturing Company of East
Pittsburg, Pa, which last company
will likely take this destructive war
machine apparatus to their research
laboratory, where an immense outlay
of money will be spent to see if Reed
actually has death-dealing machine
that will, as he claims, destroy ex-
plosives, such as gasoline. powder,
etc, within a range of any distance
up to four miles of the discharging
machine.
Reed has built the machine so that
it is impossible for the electrical
current discharged, which is to kill
the enemy, to have any effect on the
party or squadron discharging the
current. This current acts directly |
like lightning, but instead of simply !!
killing the enemy in one spot like |
lightning, it will kill in a two-mile
radius. Reed says the highest alti-
aircraft gun shoots only from 49,
900 to $4,000 feet. If the Krupp big |
gun was shot at this machine it |
would have to be shot when the ma
chine was at a distance of about 10 |
miles from the gun, and if this was
not done everything in range of the
big gun would have already been de-
strOyed by the current from the air
gun. If the trenches were 600 miles
in length, this machine will kill ev-
cry man in the 600 miles in 10 hours,
as the squadron would cover the dis
tance in that time.
Reed is not asking or seeking pub
licity, but happened to be in the Of
flee of the Commercial Appeal cor
respondent here in connection with
the government correspondence, and
was asked to give the public, who as
yet has not dreamed Of the great
task this young man is undertaking,
an idea of what he is trying in his
honest way to do for his country.
He is a poor boy, but he confidently
expects the government to have his
invention free of charge as a means
of quickly ending the war. He has
already given the government his
ideas and he has no other expecta-
ton than that the government will
take it over or that some financial
patriot will come to his rescue.
Reed got the idea when Gov. Theo.
Bilbo returned from Washington and I
he heard that the governor had seen
an apparatus of Thos. Edison which &,
would destroy submarines at dis
lance, and then Reed went to work
on the air machine to destroy from
he air. ,...

ing In the stub Of her check book first
"Oh. don't stop for THAR urged her

hurry. You can do that when you
get home"
Unmoved. the careful woman fin
lshed the stub with special care. then
wrote the check. gave It to the sales
man and said to her impatient friend:
Before ! was married ! took care OF
some Of my fathers accounts. The
first time he ever asked me to Oil out

could sign them lie told me: One rule
you must always observe-write the
stub first. Make a vow to yourself.
like unto the VOW Of Jephthah, tina.
you will never write a check until the
stub is filed. If for any reason you
should fail later to write the check II
would be a simple matter to cancel
the stub. but II you write check and
leave the stub blank you open the
door to hundred chances of mistake.
No ones memory can be trusted on
that subject. Never try to trust yours.
Let the law of "the stub first" be to
you as the law Of the Modes and the

Frost Damage Unlikely, Even

Washington.-Nost CT the record

the average date of the first killing
frost, in spite of the fact that the
crop is from ter to fifteen and in
places even twenty days later than

year in central ard northern dis
tricts.
Reports to the Weather Bureau
brought this information as we'll as
good news from Kansas. where the
last forecast of the Department of
agriculture indicated the production
would be only hall that indicated
month previously. The Kansas crop,
the reports add. was recovering from
the effect of the previous drouth to q
surprising extent, due to recent rain.
Warmer weather was decidedly ia
vorable for corn in all central and
eastern sections during the last
week, but lack of rainfall was being
felt to some extent from Iowa east
