Dorchester Apartments, 131 River
side Drive, with main entrance on
the drive and servants exit on
Eighty-ffth Street.
The bridge connecting the roofs of
the Clarendon and the Netherland is
made of steel Stats, about two inches
wide, and with a similar space be-
tween the Stats. A boardwalk leads
directly from the bridge to door in
the red-painted supcrstructure that
covers the elevator shafts and stair
ways IN. the building.
The publisher doesn't need a bridge
to get from the Clarendon to the Dor
chester. The buildings are built flush
with each other. But the adjoining
walls rise nearly three feet above the
roofs, and a stile of four steps has
been built over this obstruction. Once
on the roof of the Dorchester, it is a
simple matter to step through the door
on the roof, descend one flight of
stairs, ring the bell for the elevator
and thence away, leaving annoying
callers watchfully waiting at the door
of the Clarendon.
If Hearst should elect to leave the
Dorchester by the servants entrance
he would be within few doors of his
garage. wherein he keeps several au-
tomobiles.

1t is generally understood that the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. The House

Platinum jewelry, in addition to the
regular wholesale jewelry tax of 10
per cent, will pay another 10 per cent
when sold at retail, and the retailers
will be required to keep record of all
such sales. The principal object is to
discourage the use of platinum in jew
elry during the war.
Canadian Tax Adjusted
To do away with the old dispute over
the income taxes of Americans residing
in Canada, it was decided that here
after American citizens living abroad
or deriving income from abroad Will
pay taxes according to the laws of the
country in which such income is
earned. The same principle will be ap-
piled to foreigners resident in the
United States. 1t is the viewpoint of
the committee that Just now it does
not make any difference whether Canada
or the United States gets the revenue
from such incomes, because it mostly
goes to fighting the common foe In
the past Americans living in Canada
have been compelled to pay two in
come taxes, one to Canada and another
to the United States.
The committee is considering a prop
osition to make allowance in the cor
poration income taxes for the deple-
ton of oil and gas we'll properties. On
second thought, the committee has de-
clded to omit newspapers and other
periodicals and press associations from
the scope of the 10 per cent tax on
leased telephone and telegraph wires
and talking circuits.
