WHAT ARE LUxURlEs?

tFrOm Leslie's.)
Luxuries! President Wilson, in urg-
ing a new tax bill upon congress,
named Injuries, along with excess
profits and incomes, as the source
from which the government should
derive additional revenue. The main
difficulty in dealing with luxury tax
is the definition of what constitutes
Injuries. 1t is easy to classify diamonds
as a luxury, but what about automo-
biles? When used for professional
purposes, as by physician visiting
his patients or clergyman visiting
his parishioners. an automobile could
not be taxed as luxury. But suppose
the doctor or the minister took an oc-
casional ride for pleasure, what about
the tax then? Are there not many
times in the average family when the
so-called pleasure car might we'll be
classified as an essential Baseballs,
bats and other athletic material would
naturally be counted pure luxury, yet
Mr.. Herbert L. Pratt returns from Y.
M. c. A. cnrvice in France and says
that one CT the worse catastrophes"
suffered by the Y M. G. A. there was
the loss of $4,000 worth of such
equipment through submarine warfare
The National Music exposition has
devoted the proceeds of its conven-
ton to the purchase of photograph
and piano player records for soldiers
in cur cantonments. Athletic equip
ment and musical records may be
Injuries in one sense, but in another
they are among the first essentials
in keeping up the morale of the SOL
diers. In a more limited sense many
not this be true of all those at home
who also need something to keep up
their moral under the strain of war?
The habits of the American people
have so greatly changed in recent
years that the luxuries of a few years
ago are now looked upon as essentials.
and many things which in other coun-
tries are still looked upon as non-es-
sentials are by us considered every
day necessities.

BEFORE SUNRISE.
When the nighttime ages
And the moon is low,
And the weary starbeams
Pale and fade and go,
Leaves outside my window
Start stirring to and fro;
Poplars wax prophetic,
Murmuring, away
Eastward darkness brightens
Into trembling gray;
The whole world throbs and pulses
With the coming day.
Once a life all shadow,
Save for starlight wan,
Found you, felt your presence:
Tho the time is gone,
! mind me how my soul stirred:
Surely that was dawn!

PAY FOR EXEMPTION BOARDS.
Will Receive 30 Cents for Each Reg
 istrant Finally Classified.

Little Rock, Jan. i2.-A regulation has been approved by the President fixing the compensation for mem bers of Local Boards upon a basis of thirty cents for each registrant finally classified.
 Many members are serving gra- tuitously, while others are charg- ing for their time.
 In an address issued to the Boards the Adjutant General says:
 The nation is at war. Personal sacrifices are being made on every hand. The soldiers who are being selected by local and district boards have given up comfortable homes, have severed home ties, in many cases have been obliged to sacrifice large incomes in order to work and fight for their country, twenty-four hours day for thirty dollars a month. Most of these men are will ing to serve for even less or for nothing. They are enduring or will hereafter endure suffering and hardships and in many cases be compelled to sacrifice their lives or health Therefore it is not unreas- enable to request the great army composed of local board members to meet the government and CO., operate with it in the matter of minimum cost

ANTI-LENINE SENTIMENT.
Agitation Against Bolsheviki Gov
 ernment is SpPeading.


 London, Jan. .-Anti-Bolshevik parties in Russia, according to a dis patch to the Daily News from Pet rograd using the creation of vol unteer army by the Bolsheyiki as the basis of an energetic agitation to turn the petrograd garrison against the Lenine government.
 Efforts also are being made to start street demonstrations in favor of the constituent assembly. If the efforts are successful. the dispatch adds, the result will be anarchy than which the Germans could wish nothing better.
 The constituent assembly is to meet Friday. It seems probable that 1t will contain a majority against the Bolsheviki and will try to re- place them by another government Such government, the Daily News correspondent says, would be in- finitely less dangerous as an antag- onist of Germany than the present one.
 The correspondent in rciteratine | his defense of Foreign Minister Trotzky, and in deploring the facl that the entente allies have mol joined in the Brest-Litovsk negotia. lions, says that the first real hell given Trotzky in this struggle is thu message of President Wilson, whici is also described as the first allief utteranee that shows imaginative understanding of the situation"

 The committee, says the report, is impressed with the war time effl- cieney of the ordnance bureau of the navy, which has not only re- sponded to all demands for ord- nance of standard types. but has found time to develop new material such as improved depth charges, smoke screen apparatus and heavier gun equipment for aircraft.
