MARRIED LIFE.
BY Mehel Herbert Urner.
No. 61-TO Escape the Heat Warren
Announces a Trip TO
the Seashore.

Helen had been home ten days now.
And while these first days of her re-
turn had not been all that she had
DIR 7med they would be, still she had
been very happy Though Warren
was not as tender and affectionate, as
she had hoped, yet he was far more
considerate of her than he used to
be.
The heat had been trying, and
made him at times more irritable.
But she could see he tried not to
vent his displeasure on her, And
that had been one of the things that
had hurt her most. Whatever the
cause of his anger or discomfort, he
used always make her feel that it
was in some way her fault.
That fearfully hot evening they
had taken the car ride had been the
most unfortunate one since her re-
turn. Warren had been undeniably
irritable and sullen then. Warren
hardly spoke to her on the way home.
And she had gone to bed with a
heavy heart, fearing that he was
relapsing into his old spells of ir-
ritability. But he had made up
as he started off:
"Take it easy today Kitten. Keep
as cool as you can. and tonight Veil
go to a roof garden. That'll be
better than a crowded trolley ride.
How about having dinner there ?"
"Oh. no, Warren, we mustn't dine
out so much. You know how ex-
pensive it IS. Let's have dinner
here first-just something cold, and
then go TO the roof afterward."
"All right economical person" as
he pulled at loose strand of hair.
Paying Her Compliments.
ooh. you re mussiny me all up"
"You look prettier when you're
nussed." brushing her hair loosely
over her forehead. There now, go
look at yourself in the glass-you
look like the girl on the magazine
cover"
When he had gone she did run to
the mirror. and not only was she
slightly dishevelled hair becoming,
but her cheeks were softly flushed.
and her eyes shining from Warren's
unaccustomed compliment.
He so rarely said anything of this
kind to her that she treasured every
word And now she was more than
ever glad that since her return she
had faithfully kept that promise she
had made to herself-to always wear
IA fresh and dainty house gown
every morning for breakfast and in
every way to make herself as attraC-
tive as she cosld.
Her resolve that Warren should
never again see her carelessly or I'M
becomingly dressed she had so far
rigidlv kept And she felt that the
compliment he had paid her this
morning was worth all the time and
effort it had cost.
So instead OF spending an unhappy
day brooding over his harshness of
the night before, lust because he had
said what he did this morning.
everything was right" again. And
she went about her work humming
happily.
That evening they went 20 the
roof garden, and again the next
night. But each day grew hotter than
The one before.
Warren vowed repeatedly that
ttey would never spend another sum-
mer in this apartment. but he adj
n7itted it would be better to wait un-
til it was cooler before they again
went apartment seeking.
The papers had daily announced

BOOSTING FOREIGN TRADE

Looking to postwar commerce, the foreign trade department of tha San Francisco chamber of commerce is registering manufacturers and their productive capacities in all sections of the United States. Four thousand manufacturers, without foreign connections or the means to establish them, have been offered the services of the bureau in plac- ing them in communication with re- liable and experienced export firms. This will permit thorsands of manu- factureres throughout the United States who could do a large and profitable foreign business, but who have contented themselves with home markets owing to technicalities of foreign trade which they did not understand, to find markets in the Orient, Oceania and Latin America.

ALASkA'S PLATINUM
Platinum, that much needed and

Platinum, that much needed and sought war material, exists through out an area of 15O by 10e miles from Cook Inlet region to the Alaskan range, ln the oplnlon ot MT. Herschel C. Parker, geologist and explorer. Dr. Parker, who left Alaska for the States recently, took with him a large number of samples obtained from summer spent m prospecting. This winter he will make exhaustive tests and plan operations for his work early next year. Upon his return he plans to establish a small plant on the Susitna river for handling platinum ore.
 Dr. Parker's experimenting and prospecting work took him through the Talkeetna country, along the Susitna and Yenta valleys. Speak ing of the results of his work, he stated at Juneau, while enroute Outside:
 "The platinum is there. Most of the land, however, is low grade, and it must be handled in large quanti- ties in scientific and economical manner. The question of the com mercial value of the platinum is simply a matter of engineering"
 The region described is tributary to the government railroad.

RUBBER PLANTS
 ARE DISCOVERED
 ON WEST FRONT


 plants with rubber content in the district extending from the Pacific coast to Colorado and from New Mexico to Washington, recently re- ported to the California state coun- cil of defense by it's scientific re- search committee, is said to assure the country of an emergency supply of rubber.
 California is now supplying the United States with chrome, essen- tial in the manufacture of steel, as the result of five months survey Chester II. Powell, of Fresno, Cal, said in presenting the committees report. This has released the ship ping formerly employed in bringing chrome from Brazil.
 An invention involving the appli- cation of the gyroscope in determ- ming the position of a ship inde- pendently of observations on the sun or stars, and another designed to perfect the accuracy of machine gun fire from moving airplane to moving airplane were reported by Professor O. 1 Leuschner, chairman 0 fthe committee. Public mention of the results of the committees work in chemistry was withheld.
 Prof. H, M. Hall in his report on the rubber discovery said:
 For two months the writer car ried on field surveys in eight West ern states in order to make esti- matters of the tonnage and distribu- tion of rubber carrying shrubs and to gather samples for chemical analy- sls. the results indicate that the total amount of rubber present Is much greater than we formerly sup posed, although the percentage con- tent of the shrubs is perhaps less over much of the area covered.
 -Four of our experimental plots in Eastern California have been studied and evidence obtained which indicates that it will be necessary to destroy the plants in order to harvest the rubber. On the other hand, a method is being developed which gives promise of increasing the weight of the rubber carrying portions. This method will be par ticularly applicable if the plants are brought under cultivation.
 Tn order to get an expert opinion on the quality of the product, p pounds of shrub were sent to Dr. D. Spence, chairman of the sub SoHiHlltIee OH TuDDer ana allied SUD- stances of the National Research Council. After some months, during which time deterioration probably took place, the rubber was separated by the ordinary mechanical means and three per cent of pure rubber obtained. This was tested and re- ported upon as of high grade and average quality not as good as the fine, but a great deal better than most African low grade rubbers.' Dr. Spence also reported that the rubber vulcanizes readily, and gives product of very fine quality
 Tt is proposed to continue the work during the winter months and to submit detailed report for publi- cation in the spring of 1919."

GOVERNMENT IS
 GETTING READY
 FOR TAX DRIVE

WASHlNGlON.- same spirit of enthusiasm and cooperation that attended the Fourth Liberty loan and much the same methods, in- cluding advertising in newspapers and local propaganda campaigns, are planned as features of the national next great financial task, the col lection of about 0,00O,000 in taxes next year.
 Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper is making preparations for a great drive in January and Febru- ary to get the ten million persons who probably will be subject directly to government taxes to file their returns early, accurately and will ingly.
 Even with our great tax gather ing machinery already built up in collection districts throughout the
 
 country" said Commissioner Roper, i've can not gather SS,000,000,000 of taxes without the hearty cooper ation of the people who pay. It must and will be their job as much as that of the government authori- ties"
 On this principle, great educa- tional movement is being planned, without waiting for Congress to enact finally the revenue bill which will determine just how much tax is to be collected. and from what sources it is to come. Business men in every community, banks, cham bers of commerce, trade, farmers and labor organizations, churches, lodges, schools, and other organiza- tions will be asked to undertake to show citizens precisely how to figure their taxes, what deductions from income are permissible, how their business records should be kept to provide the best guides for tax reports, and how to make intelli- gent returns, giving neither less nor more than is expected under the law.
 By such system, officials hope to minimize tax evasions But to guard against the inevitable slack ing information will be sought thru these channels to be used in check ing up returns and ascertaning be- yond a doubt when returns are true.
 Newspapers will be relied on to furnish informative articles on how to make returns, to be supplied both from Washington revenue bureau headquarters, ant by district col lectors. There will also be con- siderable display advertising, appeal ing to individuals and business enter prises to pay taxes with the same spirit the nation desplayed in making war. These advertisements will be paid for by business interests, act ing voluntarily, and not by the gov ernment and advertising clubs will assist. This is the method employed during the Liberty Loan campaings.
 Indications that the new revenue bill will impose number of sales taxes, the reporting of which will be difficult task, makes it es- pecially necessary to enlist the CO., operation of tax payers themselves in the tax collection work.

ing which daily rehearsals are held and from two to four concerts given each week.
 Time is taken during the home sea son for a mid winter tour and which has four times extended as far east as New York and last season west to the Pacific coast. The entire orchestra of S5 men makes this tour
 Following the home season, the or chestra, reduced somewhat as to strings, makes an annual spring fes- tival tour of eight weeks through the middle west.
 Every musician, and they come from all parts of the world, is either a native born or naturalized American citizen. It may be well to observe that there are more decendents from the allies in the organization than from their present rivals. The orchestra is thoroughly American as to men and music, and while their programs contain no Ger man music on this tour it is only be- cause it would not be accepted as eth ical. Star Spangled Banner" opens the program and America" closes it, in beautiful new arrangements which have created quite a furore in musical circles.
 The accompanying cut of Oberhoffer, conductor of the great Minneapolis or chestra, was taken at rehearsal and not at performance, because the poet con- ductOr" does not use the score in pub lie performance
 When over 800 leading citizens, of one of the leading cities of the leading country in the world subscribe $75,000 per year for the maintainence of this renowned orchestra, it is thought to show proper spirit of Americanism.
 The orchestra is composed of S5 men, and every member travels on the present tour. The best musicians have been obtained and among them will be found the worlds best" Many of them have been with the orchestra each year since the time of the first per formance, more than 13 years ago.
 Owing to uncertain conditions at the present time the future holds no prom ise for another visit of this unequaled orchestra, and it may serve as a mem ory of the highest idealized form of music should everyone be in atten- dance at the performances in Phoenix on Thursday, January 31, afternoon and evening. The tickets are now on sale at Central Pharmacy.
