7dxpdpers Ne9lecting to
 Assess ReceiDe NO Relief

such as penalty for non-assessments or non-pa payments of taxes.
 "The power of the executive is, in other words, limited to the extension of clemency to individuals under sen- tence of judgment for crime, penalty or forfeiture, and does not mean the granting of general amnesties, or re- lief from civil penalties and forfeit ures.
 We are clearly of the opinion, therefore, that the governor exceed ed his authority in attempting to re- init the penalty imposed by statute against delinquent property owners for failure to assess for taxation, and that such delinquents can claim no relief under that proclamation
 "It is too plain for argument that the State Tax Commission possesses no such power as it attempted to ex- ercise in this instance of relieving delinquent property owners from the penalty imposed by the statutes. The powers of the Tax Commission are limited entirely to the fixing of val ues, and do not extend to the relief of penalties imposed by statute"

AFTERNOON
 RECEPTION AND TEA

An event in the seasons social rounds, of unparalleled beauty, was the reception Tuesday afternoon giv- en by Mrs. George K. Stephens and Miss Lutie Mae Stephens, compli- menting two of the seasons brides, Mrs. Joseph Lee Bevens and Mrs. Hu- bert E. Tyler. The beautifully re- modelled Dr. Stephens home was very artistically arranged and had for an extra beautiful feature quan- titles of yellow jonquils and ferns placed in attractive places throughout the home.
 In the dining room the tea table was especially pretty with it's lunch con set and cut glass bowls of jon quils, the color effect predominating in yellow and white. Mrs. Claude M. Erwin and Mrs. R. D. Brown presided at the tea and coffee urns at this ta- ble.
 At the hall door the guests were welcomed by Mrs. Charles E. Hipolite and Mrs. E. L. Boyce. In the draw ing room the receiving line was head ed by the two hostesses, Mrs. Steph- ems and Miss Stephens. Standing with them were Mrs. Joseph Lee Rev. ems, Mrs. Hubert E. Tyler, Mrs. M. . A. Stephens, Mrs. Estelle Claridge and Mrs. w. E. Bevens. Each of these were handsomely gowned in afternoon toilettes.
 Others assisting the hotsesses throughout the receiving rooms were Medames B. H. White, Roy H. Hin- kle, Guy Maris, c. E. Carroll, T. J. Gregg and Miss Bessie Watson. Misses Margaret Emma Stephens and Dorothy Stephens were also quite ac- tive in looking after the pleasure of the large number who called. A buff fet lunch was served by Misses Kath- arine Morris, Mary Frances Bains, Rowena Campbell, Elise Hooker, Lela Beattie, Susie Lindsey and Mrs. J. o. Powell.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 13.-The many tax payers in every county who neg lected to assess within the time pre- scribed by law can get no relief through the proclamation of Govern or Brough relieving them from the of the penalty prescribed by law.
 This is the ruling of the supreme court in d test case from Pulaski county, concluding as follows:
 sThe effect of general amnesty such as is attempted by the .proclam- ation now under review would oper- ate as a suspension of the law and come within the spirit, if not within the letter of the inhibition of the con- stitution, and when the provisions of the constitution are read together it is clear that it was intended to con fine the power of the executive with respect to the remission of fines and forfeitures, strictly to criminal and penal cases after judgment, and not to remedial and coercive penalties

An American Gun That Stops
German Tanks

One of the reasons why the Ger
mans, although they have built
'tapks.'' are not employing them
effectively in their drives, is doubt
less that we now have a light, mo-
bile gun that will pierce their
armor-something that the Huns
themselves do not possess. This
gun-the new "37 millimeter"-
is an American invention, and bids
fair to eliminate the German tank,
as the American depth bomb" is
fast putting the German submarine
out of commission. So sure are
the military experts of the extra
ordinary effectiveness of this weap-
on that they are working overtime
in France to turn them out in
quantity, and American factories
are now beginning to make them.
The gun weighs only about 175
pounds, and yet will fire armor.
piercing shells at continuous rate
of one per second. Obviously it
will not only stop tanks but will do
The mirror., 1918-09-12

The fash-hider is now being
used generally on machine guns,
and no doubt will be used general
ly by snipers in the future. The
flash of gun is clearly discernable
at night, and the flash-hider will do
much in preventing the enemy ma
chine-gun experts on the fanks
from spotting the location of the
gun and putting its crew out of
action.
The model from which the '37"
has been evolved won fame when
the Germans developed a defensive
line made up in the form of a
checkerboard, in which the various
squares were concrete pill boxes.
Then the ''37' was brought into
play and time after time it was
found that a high explosive one
pound shell could be sent through
the loopholes at ranges of about
/ 200 yards, putting both gun and
crew out of action.
The Americans will depend up
on the ''37" to a great extent in
mastering the German tank. The
German tank is not the strong en-
gine that the British employ. The
Germans are beginning to feel the
scarcity of minerals and raw ma
terials by which iron is hardened
to steel. Their tanks have a thin
arwor plate, sufficient only to with
stand machine gun fire; in fact, the
casing on the rear of the tank is
Il inches thick.
But what the "37" may not ac-
complish the Yankees will bring
about by the use of bombs. For it
has been found that, like a turtle,
a tank can be readily put out of
action for all time if it can be
turned on it's side or on its back.
Remembering this, it is we'll also
to point out that in most pictures
of captured tanks on the battle
field it is to be noted that the
tanks are on their sides.
The Yankees and the British hit
upon the scheme of throwing con-
tact bombs in their path. and, if an
attack was expected, of placing
heavy bombs connected with un-
derground wires along courses
which, because of shell-holes. it
was to be assumed tank would
follow. The explosion of a fairly
strong bomb will lift the tank and
frequently cause it to fall on it's
side. Selected.

Two M. S. P. Teams Opposed
Each Other Saturday

The local fans were again disap-
pointed by the non-arrival of an
opposing team for Saturdays con-
test. This, however, gave the
Second team another opportunity
to try their skill Mt defeating the
First team. They sadly failed in
their endeavor to accomplish the
goal they set out to attain, for af-
ter the full quota of innings had
been played the score board re-
corded five runs to their credit,
while the First team had nine
credited up to them. The game
was not as interesting for the fans
as former games played between
the same two teams.
The First teams batting ability
in the opening chapter seemed to
take all the ginger and pep out of
the Second team. After getting
three singles, one double and one
three-bagger, aided by couple of
errors, five scores came home be-
fore the side was retired. In the
fourth frame the First team scored
again on a hit and three success
sive errors. In the fifth another
score crossed home plate on errors.
In the eighth by getting four hits
two more runs were added, thus
ending the First teams score
record.
The Second scored once in the
second inning by getting two hits,
then scoring on an error. In the
third frame they added another by
one man being passed on balls,
then advancing to third on a hit
and scoring when the ball was
played to second base. In the
fourth they added three more
scores after one man had been
passed on balls, two more reaching
first base on errors, and then a
nice, clean three Dagger brought in
three men, tieing the score for the
time being. After that the Second
team was unable to get man safely
on first base, while their opponents
were batting the ball and running
at will.
The substitutions and changes in
the two teams lineup were so
numerous that we kept no box
record, therefore, together with the
play by innings, it is omitted.

EVOLUTION OF THE MIRROR
From the Days of the Crystal Water Pool to the Hand
some and Useful Glass Creations of Today
Du PontMnn
Du Pont Magazine

1t was not until 1850 that the
practice of using glass backed by
thin sheets of metal for mirrors
was inaugurated. but it developed
rapidly. ID1373 a guild of glass
mirror makers was formed and
small globular mirrors, called
''Bull's-Eyes." were turned out in
great quantities by the use of blow
pipes.
The credit of being the first to
develop the making of fine mirrors
on commercial scale is given to
Venice. For century and a half
that republic enjoyed practically a
monopoly of the art, and Venetian
glass mirrors were without an
equal. The Venetians were jealous
of their trade and had little way
of protecting the home industry
that was novel, but effective. It
was the law that if any glass max
er carried his art to foreign state,
emissaries we're delegated to pur-
sue and slay him. That these min
ions of the law usually got their
man is very apparent, for it was
not until 1864 that any other
country succeeded in spiriting
away any of the Venetian work.
men. At that time, Colbert, the
French Minister, induced twenty
Venetian glass makers to take up
their residence in France. AS a
result of this and of the develop
ment of plate glass in 1891, the
mirror industry in France grew
rapidly, and French mirrors soon
excelled those of Venice in quality.
Since the adoption of glass mir
rors. many rare and beautiful
metals and materials have been
used for cases. Gold, silver, enam-
els, ebony, and other costly ma
terials, often set with precious and
semi-precious stones, were used.
From time immemorial ivory
has been the most priced of all ma
terials for mirror backs and many
other dainty and exquisite articles
of the toilet. Today, in ivory
lin, the modern substitute
for ivory, there is the counterpart
of the ivory of old. Its chaste
coloring and delicate granting
place it beyond comparison with
any metal in grace or charm. Its
soft, creamy, untarnishing surface
lends itself completely to the en-
graver's art, and it's loveliness has
given it perpetual place of honor
in the boudoir. 1t lends itself to
exquisite monograms of any de-
sign or color. The background
may be etched to bring the desired
pattern out in beautiful bas-relief.
Hand carving may be added to
produce effects unique and charm

THE BIG THREE

The old Tricoor swings to the right;
To the left flies the UniUn Jack;
And new flag comes to the smashing fight,
To drive for the next attack;
A flag that has guarded stainless shield,
A banner of stripes and stars;
And now--when the bugie has once more pealed-
Now when the three start down the field
God pity the trench that bars.
The old Trict or has gained new heights,
And so rs the Union Jack;
And the flag hat comes where the shrapnel bites
Will never be driven back;
The flag that las never yet been furIed
Or stoppt by the driving Fates.
And now-wh IN the cannon's smoke lies cured,
Now when the three start down the world
God pity ghe Hun who waits.
The old Tricolor is dripping red
And so is the Union Jack;
But new flag comes to the work ahead
To start for the next attack;
A flag that never known to stop
At the end of testing fray;
And now, wherever the shells may drop,
Now when the three 60 over the top
God pity the trench at bay.
