Amendment PROPOSED

Amendment of the excess profits law

will be transmitted to Congress by
Secretary McAdoo.

come to the conclusion that it is quite

tees which would develop under the
measure by executive rulings.
At the top of the list of difficult stu

allowance for borrowed money invest

tangible assets, and for depreciation.
Many companies with small capital.
doing business largely on borrowed
money, have complained that under the
excess profits provision their earnings
would be taxed almost at a confiscatory
rate, while other concerns with equal

Failure of the law to provide for set

CabIegram to The Evening star and

MILAN, Italy. December 17.-Many Of
the newspapers are still devoting
much space to President Wilson's re-

rejecting imperialism even on the part
of the victors.''
With regard to Austria it is pointed
out here that the populations of the
dual empire have shown in innumer-
able ways that they aspire to seces-

to smother completely the will of the

From the Los Angeles Times.
We hear more and more about the
form and color of musical sounds and
tone combinations First thing you
know we will all be seeing music in
stead of hearing it, and the critics will
be writing about Winkemfunk's sym
phony in blue and Flingemosky's pur-
pie sonatas. Great pianists will hurl
mountains of floral beauty at their au-
diences, and the master violinist will
watt sweet lilies and lilacs of sound
across the footlights. Birds will cease
to MARBLE and will start to painting.
The skylark's note will become a cord
of gold connecting earth and heaven,
and the poet will refer to the mocking-
birds medley as an exquisite rainbow
of song.

United States after a month in the
American camps and at places along
the line of communication. where he
has been organizing the field service
work OF the knights of Columbus for
the benefit of the American Army. He
will return In January with corps of
assistants and start active operations.
He has already located number of
priests brought from various states as
civilian chapiains with different regi-
ments.
Herman has furnished them and other
Roman Catholic Army chaplains with
funds to carry on needed work among
tho soldiers. The plans contemplate
bringing 500 young priests from the
United states to work in the Army.
They are to be supported by private
funds pending tho receipt OF possible
commissions as Army chap1ains. Twenty
are now ready to start from Boston. A
fund of $T.000,oo0 has been raised by
the Catholic churches in America for
carrying on this and similar work
through the agency of the Knights of
Columbus.
Gen Pershing has approved the plans
and orders have been issued placing the
organization on the basis of the Red
Cross. Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton and the Salvation Army, which are

make Italians appreciate the fact that
Mr. Wilson took a most opportune mo-
ment to act.
The Corriere della Sera says:
1T does not matter much IL Mr.. VII
son appears not to comprehend the
enormous responsibility of Austria,
which by military force has denied
every national right, for the Presi-
dents main idea is that it is essential

which he is effectively exact"
1t is rather remarkable that Italian
opinion is not yet well acquainted with
Mr.. Wilson'S views concerning a league
of nations after the war. The people
here will doubtless receive the plan
with enthusiasm when it is thoroughly
explained to them.

Scientist Makes Soap
Bubbles Last q Year

When scientists run out Of their or
binary occupations they look around
for something new to do. One of the
very newest oddities worked out by
scientific experimentation Is the blow
ing of a soap bubble that will last a
whole year before breaking. Apparent
~ that is achieving the height of USE
less effort, but Prof. ]. Dewar OF Lon.
don expects to prove a good many
things by this curious method. In
recent address before the Royal In
stitution he exhibited number of
small soap bubbles that were ~
months old. He also showed bubbles
more than half a yard in diameter
which had grown to the hoary age OF
six months. These bubbles were con-
fined in glass containers that had been
pumped free of air. thus creating q
vacuum for the bubbles to rest in.
Prof. Dewar said that it was neces-
sary to Obtain air free of dust to make
soap bubble that would endure for
more than a few seconds. To do this
he developed several appliances that
take all the dust out of a limited air
space. and it was by the use Of this
air ,lHaI Ills udTNclOuS cOdp OOoOsCS
were blown. But further effort was
necessary to preserve these bubbles
It was found that the few drops OF
water which always gather at the
bottom Of bubble were fatal to theiI
attaining q respectable age. So the
professor applied little tubes to the
bottom Of the bubbles. much like a
soda water straw. and drew the water
off. AS task for patience this IL
recommended to the impatient.
The remarkable soap bubbles Of this
educator are preserved in glass YES
sells having little water in the bot
tom. The temperature of these vds-
sells is maintained at about so degrees
Fahrenheit. Several years were taken
up by Prof. Dewar in finding out all
about the soap bubble. and he Is now
working on a plan connecting them

ut will be cheaper to win this war
than it will be to lose it,"
This is the recent pithy statement of |
T.. p. Ripley. the venerable president of |
the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fc
railroad. And then Mr.. Ripley goes
on to tell what We must do TO win the
war and says, among other things |
something Of the difficulties we are
bound to face before the war is finally |
Won. One of them stands out promi-
nently in his argument.
I'VE are" he declares, "the most
lawless people of any civilized nation,
and believe the reason for this is the
lack of discipline in the American
homo, and the lax administration of
our laws. Our children, as a class,
resent discipline as an infringement of
their rights. They are headstrong
and ineonsiderate. Not being con-
trolled and guided. they lack self con-
troll. In failing to insist upon imme-
date and full compliance with reason
able requests. parents do their children
grave injustice and make trouble for
them and others in years to como'
Some may say that the attitude Of
Mr.. Ripley is adherence to the old saw
of spare the rod and spoil the child"
It really is nothing of the sort. but
rather common sense application Of
the Biblical commandment
The woods are full of young men
! and women who have not obeyed their

sufficiently insistent. There are thou
sands more who. like the girl in the

docket of every police court in the land
IS, more or less. illustrative OF lack OF
proper discipline In the home.
That is why a compulsory military
training law in this country would be
difficult to enforce. That is why n
compulsory military training law In
the United States should be passed and
enforced. The government must, since
so many homes apparently cannot
make the youth of America something
better than the most lawless of an!
