CATCH UP WITH TAX DODGERS

Corporations which attempt To
dodge war taxes by increasing their
capital stock to cover surplus and un-
divided profits have been warned by
Internal Revenue Commissioner Ro-
per that this will be of no avail, since
the capital actually invested in the
business, rather than the amount of
outstanding capital stock, is the basis
for measuring taxable excess profits.

sCHWAB CALLS STEEL MEN.
Will Confer ON Problem of Supplying
the Government.

PHILADELPHIA, July 27.-Charles
NJ. Sehwab, director general of the
emergency fleet corporation, has called
a conference on Monday of representa-
tives of all the big steel plants, to de-
wise means for keeping the government
supplied with steel so that the war
program will not be interrupted. He
said the shipbuilding program now
called for total of 100000 tons a
year.
eve are now getting steel at the
rate OF 100000 tons annually" Mr.
Schwab said. "That amount would
suffice il we had been able to build up
reservoir in each yard, a sort of steel
cushion, so to speak, on which to fall
back in emergencies. Until we have
such an accumulation in the yards, the
larger figures of shipments will be es
sential There is nothing to do but t.
speed up and get it.
Mr.. Sehwab returned from the Pacif
ie coast chiefly to take up the stee
situation, complicated by the many de
mands of the government, the allie
and the less essential industries of tn,
country. He declares himself delighted
with his trip West. sSThe whole coun
try is thrilled with patriotic i'm

PLACED IN CHARGE
Government Urged to Put Vermonter
at Head of Telephone and Tele-
graph Systems.


NEW YORK, July 27.-The Wall
Street Journal says:
1t is with no light heart that the cit
zen with public service and the security
of private property at heart sees the
aking over of telegraphs and telephones
by the postoffice department. Necessi-
ty as a war measure is claimed by the
President, and there is nothing to do hut
acquiesce. But the new management,
for it will become management at no
distant date, is disquieting in view of
the precedent of the postoflice itself
Never well or economically managed,
our postal service has gone from bad to
worse. We are favored with theatri-
cal experiments of no real value to busi-
| ness, like aeroplanes between Wash
ington and New York; while the postal
mail service has starved. The mail
clerks are underpaid and overworked be-
cause their number is and has been,
during Mr.. Burleson s administration
and before, insufficient for the ef1ici-
eient handling of the mail.
| We have had foisted upon us zone
! system for second class matter, well
calculated to put many publications out
| of business, and there is not even suf-
ficient intelligence in the postoflice de-
partment to see that the increase in the
rates automatically reduces the net re
turn. The large cities have been de-
prived of tube service, with auto trucks
as a substitute to cumber still further
their congested streets.
Cities like New York, Chicago and
| Boston are wretchedlv supplied with
lletter carriers, whose number has actual
" been reduced while the population
has increased, and the demands on these
underpaid employees have been made
heavier by a parcel post which has
proved ITSELF in many eases, inferior Il

SPRAY CONTROLS
ENEMY OF MELON.
As Soon as Aphis Makes Its Ap-
pearance Apply Solution of
Nicotine Sulphate.
INSECT DOES HARM QUICKLY
Pest Sucks Juices Of Plants, Causing
Them to Wither and Die-Best
Results Are Secured by EN-
ployment Of Power Spray.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Severe losses by the melon aphis,
or 'melon louse." can be largely re-
duced and In many cases prevented
by the use of control measures upon
the first appearance of the Insect.
Spraying with nicotine sulphate, which
so far has given the best results, and
other methods of combating the pest
are described in Farmers Bulletin GA,
Control of the Melon Aphis, by f. III.
Chittenden. issued by the United States
department of agriculture.
Next to the striped cucumber beetle
the melon aphis is the most important
cucumber insect pest and probably the
most serious enemy of melons and re-
lated crops in this country. 1t works
quickly, sucking the juices of the
plants and causing them to wither and
die, often before insect injury is sus-
pected. Whole fields are destroyed In
few days.
The melon aphis has more than forty
insect enemies which hold it In check
in many regions much of the time, but
artificial control becomes imperative
when weather conditions are unfavor-
able to Its parasites.
How to Fight the Melon Aphis.
The following directions for combat
Ing the pest are given In the bulletin:
1. Examine the melon or cucumber
field in several places from time to
time in order that the melon aphis may
not cause serious damage before de-
lection.
2. When the aphis is found, dc not
wait to find out whether it Is going to
Increase, but begin spraying at once.
3. Be sure to use the correct for
mula and apply 1t properly and thor
oughly, making frequent inspections
to ascertain that the undersides of the
leaves are well covered.
4. Use plenty of spray mixture-200
gallons to the acre, If necessary-and
apply at high pressure, about 100
pounds II possible.
