ing the enactment Of additional revenue
legislation. During the week Senator
Simmons and Representative Kitchin
Who have opposed the suggestion that
taxes be increased on the grounds that
such LEGISLATION IS 'untimely" when the
Democrats and Republicans are locking
horns in a flght for control Of the next
Congress, will confer with President
Wilson and Secretary McAdoo and the
.swhoie subject will be threshed out.
Members Of Congress, anticipating In

A tspr~prnntsa tax similar to that Of
Great Britain, which turns into the

"Have you noticed" said Uncle Harry.

the more we see in the newspapers
about the neutral countries9"

talking about the latest trouble be-
tween Germany and Holland--about the

Harry?"
I'm glad you spoke OF that, Joe,
! he replied, ''for I've been intending
for some time TO talk about the trou-
bles and losses experienced by the
neutral countries as a result OF the
Great War raging all around them.
There's an old saying, continued
Uncle Harry, that where there's
flght, the innocent bystanders often
suffer almost as much damage as the
combatants, and that has certainly been
true with regard to the neutral coun-
ries
Holland, for example, lying so close
TO the scene Of actual fighting, Is IN
the position OF a man whose house
stands in a small clearing around which
a fierce forest fire Is raging. The wind
would blow the sparks and embers

frantically with buckets OF water to

THE HOE PRESS.

The first Hoe printing press was the invention of Robert Hoe, whd was born in Leicestershire, England 134 years ago today. He came td America in 1903 and joined with his brother-in-law, Peter Smith. in es- tablishing a factory for the manufac- ture of hand press. Hoe made, greet improvements in printing processesi and the Hoe press was soon known all over the world as the best of its kindI When his health failed in 1882 he turned the business over to his son, Richard Marsh Hoe. The founder of the Hoe firm died in 1883, but Rich ard Hoe, with his brothers, Robert and Peter, showed even greater in ventiNe genius than their father. In 1S47 they perfected the lightning press for printing newspapers. This press was adopted by the London Times and other English journals, as well as by the leading American newspapers. The Hoe ten-cylinder press of that period attained the amazing speed of 15,O0O copies an hour. Richard Hoe subsequently, fn- vented the web-perfecting press, which was as much of an improve ment over the earlier style as that had been over it's predecessors.

COLUMBIA STARS RETURN ID GAME. DAWSON HOPEFUL
Hculahan, Canapery and Memmott Are Back On
 Gridiron

New York, Oct. 29-Footbau pros poets at Columbia frightened consid- erably yesterday when Fred Dawson, coach of the S. A. T. C. vars.t-- team, received word that Houlahan, the big halfback who was taken sick last week, would be able to report for practice before the Amherst game on Saturday and that both Canapery and Memmott, veteran backfield men who have been laid up for some time would also return to the lineup in the course of a few days. Canapery has been suffering from Spanish influenza while Memmott had his shoulder badly wrenched in a scrimmage with the Army Transport Service eleven last Wednesday. At first it was be- lieved his shoulder was fractured but it developed that the injury was noth- ing more than a bad sprain.
 The varsity eleven which emerged victorious from its game with Camp Merritt on Saturday had a surprise in store for it when it reported yester- day. In the past there has been no
 practice on South Field on the Mon-
 day following games but Coach Daw- son ndQ never uedIu Ol the Tul6 anu
 the varsity men as well as the scrubs
 had the usual afternoons workout, Kitus, left tackle, was the only regu-
 lar who was unable to get into uni
 form. He suffered a slight injury to
 his left leg in the Merritt game and
 Dawson excused him from practice.
 Tom Thorp, who was captain of the Columbia eleven in 1905, was on the field to assist Dawson and took charge
 of the forwards, putting them through a drill in charging before the varsity l team lined up for a stiff workout in signal formation sending the days drill with the rehearsal of forward | pass defensive plays.
 | No new developments regarding tho l schedule were reported by Levering Tyson, graduate manager of athletics. He expects to make trip to Cornell | before the end of the week for the purpose of clinching the game with Cornell which has been booked for Nov. 30 but about which a confirming | letter from Cornell has not been re- ceiyed Both Pennsylvania and Laf- ayette have asked for games but their
 requests will not be acted upon until 1 the Cornell situation is cleared.

Xmas Rush Harmful
 Says Government

The government not merely asks the people to limit their Christmas purchases to strictly useful goods, but to make their purchases very
 early this year. It considers the or dinary rush of the holiday season ito be a harmful activity in time of war. It wants to keep the work of con- ducting stores and operating express companies and the post office, down to a normal basis during that period.
 If people continue to dDN their Christmas buying at the usual time, it will not be possible to deliver pres ents through the post office and ex- press companies until long after the holiday. There is not help enough to do the usual Christmas work unless it is strung out over a long period.
 There is just one way to start this trade and get it going now. And that is for the stores to feature useful Christmas gifts in their advertising.
 If the people are left to themselves on this matter, they will begin buy ing about the usual time, and there will be the usual rush and scrim- mage. If the merchants will adver- tise theiE Christmas offerings now, as many of them are doing, the trade will get going in good shape early in November, and the work will be dis

DOINGS IN THE SPORT WORLD
MISS SEARS TO RIDE IN HORSE
 SHOW AT GARDEN
Boston sportswoman Will Exhibit Big String of
 Equine Talent

New York, Oct. 29-Not content with her honors at lawn tennis, golf, polo, yatchting, trap-shooting and Boston, is rapidly gaining distinction for versatility and skill as a rider and driver at the horse shows. She is one of the women who will work for the success of the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden, be- ginning Nov. 2, in an endeavor to make the 100 per cent. benefit for the American Red Cross realize even more than the $6S,O00 gift. of the Horse Show 10 the gres.t war relief organization last year.
 In the string she is going to show at the Garden, Miss Sears has the superb chestnut saddle horse Radiant, two marvelously good looking light weight hunters in Kilkee and Robin Hood, the famous English hackney hfgh-stepper Matthias Pick-'Em-Up, and a pair of natty hackney harness ponies, now the top of fashion, named Wildfire and Bouncer. Excepting JuCGe William H. Moore, who has 6O- odd entries, the versatile Boston sportswoman will be one of the larg- est exhibitors at this years show, and
 nearly everything she has entered has been imported from England since last spring.
 Her horses never show so well as when Miss Sears is in the saddle or on the driving cushion. There was striking demonstration of this at Newport last summer, when Radiant defeated Twilight, champion of the last National Horse Show. The two horses had come together over and over again at all the leading shows, but the decision of the judges had al ways before been in favor of Twilight. Emile Antony, Jimmy Schweiger and w A. McGibbon, three of the best known professional riders in the
 country were among those who had tried their hand on Radiant and fail ed, for he is as eccentric as he is beautiful, and about the hardest horse in the show ring to manage at
 times. At Newport Miss Sears herself swung into the saddle, and by won derful display of patience and skill, succeeded in coaxing her picture horse" to put up a perfect perform ance, which won the blue.

BIC PERCENTAGE
 OF U. s, SOLDIERS [ TAKE UP SPORTS
One Participates to Every Four Who Watch Many
 Games.

Paris, Oct. 17-(By maiD-One participant in athletics to every four spectators is the highly satisfactory of the A. E. F.
 The report of a weeks activities in one of the eight regions into which France is divided by the Y. M. c. A., for administration purposes, gives some interesting statistics. This re- zion is not by any means the largest nor most populous of the eight, but it may be taken as a fair speci- men.
 In the work covered by this report, 17,082 soldiers took part iu some form of sports and 75,925 watched the others play. Volleyball, game that Is rapidly growing in popularity among the Tanks, attracted the most players, 3,676. This Is a sport that considerable number of men can enjoy at the same time and one that requires little equipment Base ball, football and boxing followed in popularity order.
 It must be remembered of course that lue SOlOIeF SpOIlS are DOOIllSL along by the other war workers too the K. of C., the Y. W. c. A., the Jew ish Welfare Board, the American Li- brary Association and the Salvation Army.
 The list of sports included in thc program is a long one. In additioH to these mentioned. the orgfanizations promise basketball, soccer, tennis track and field games, gymnastics swimming, medicine ball and cricket
 Not only is the number of soldier: participating in sports constantly in creasing but the proportion conten' to sit on the sidelines and watch f. growing less from week to week Eventually it is possible that the only athletic non-combatants will be mer who have finished their turns on the playing field or are waiting to be gin
