HEARD AND SEEN
BY EARL GOODWIN.

II you are a merchant or banker
or q broker and live in New York
you can do business IN Washington
in such q way that You win save
some Of the taxes that established
Washingtonians have to payA That
Il cheering news to those members
Of Congress who love 20 throw the
harpoon into the National Capital.
But it is no news to many q Wash
ingtonian who has had to stand this
kind Of handicap for several years.
There are more instances Of this
kind Of inconsistency in the tax sit
uation here than there are burrs in
a thistle field. The first one to
come to mind today Is the case Of
two large investment banking houses
on the same block. One is q WASH
ington institution, the other the
branch Of an out-of-town Institution.
The Washington institution pays
I'll sorts Of local taxes and licenses.
including the tax on %intanRible
property on every one Of its buying
and selling transactions; whereas
the branch Of the out-of-town insti-
tuition entirely escapes this in
tangible property tax.
So the LOCAL institution. which
helped build the community, Is
soaked, while the gentle stranger
from out Of town gets off free In
this instance.
This Is an oyertaxed community
anyhow. There are more crazy

Gas Masks and Whfskers.

To be clean shaven or bearded like the pard Is the alternative presented to the German f1rst-line troops. The reason is the gas mask. Some au' thorities hold that the mask cannot be relied upon to protect any but clean shaven faces; others again hold that a dense hirsute growth within the mask acts as an additional air filter But 1t must be real patriarchal beard mo mere z or IA days bristles, says an article in the Deutsche Tageszei' tung. The writer holds that the full beard is a peculiarly Teutonic attri- bute, and should be cultivated as such Besides, according to ancient tradi' lions, 1t adds to "frightful aspect" he naively adds. Gas tests at the front in alright cubicles are carried out every fortnight, and full-bearded men testify to the additional security af- forded by their boards.

A fruitless but daring attempt to rescue man under the most unfavor- able conditions was recently made by William R. Ransford, seaman of the national naval volunteers, and Allen ].

 A family of robins and family of bluebirds are occupying the same house, something quite unusual in bird lore, E. M. Cashman, caretaker of the Altoona (Pa.) reservoir, has re. ported.
 Mir. Cashman has erected mum. Der of bird boxes on the watershed and he watches over his charges lovingly. When Papa and Mamma Bluebird came north this spring they were hor- rif1ed to find their usual cozy birdbox was occupied. That is, pair of rob- ins. arriving a week earlier, had start ed to build a nest on the tiny porch of the house. A wordy battle started, which lasted for several days. The bluebirds wanted the robins to move.
 The robins maintained their posi- tiOn. And then, quite suddenly, hos tilities ceased. Investigating, MT. Cash man found the bluebirds were build ing a nest inside the box, while the robins made themselves comfortable on the porch. Then both mothers sat on a nest of eggs.

HOME FOLK OBJECT
TO FOES FUNERAL
CBy United Press.)

LONDON. May 27.-Baron RIGHT
|hofen's military funeral behind the
British lines and the tribute which
British airmen accorded their dead
nemesis have aroused some resent
ment in England.
Although Richthofen is regarded as
having been a gallant enefy and
courageous fighter this disinclination
to honor the enemy, even in death, is
more emphatic in his case than it has
been in the cases of others just be-
cause Richthofen's career and death
were unusually spectacular. His flu
neral thus attracted more attention
than the usual burial of a fallen enc
my airman, and the consequent OBJ
lection is in proportion.
'If the Germans were gallant ad-
versaries and gentlemen we wouldn't
be fighting them" says one critic.
I'VE would be able to come to terms
with them. A gallant adversary would
not try to stab us in the back. and a
gentleman would keep his agreements.
"The Germans are not gallant adver-
Isaries. Frightfulness is their weapon.
Lying is the inspiration of their di-
plomacy. We are fighting them be-
cause they are not gentlemen,
Are we to waste our tears on the
individuals who perish in trying to
bring about the triumph of hate?"
If Richthofen's successor is brought
down he probably will have the same
lhonors that the dead German ace has
received, because the soldier in the
field is the man who accords the hon
ors while the critic at home merely
makes suggestions. 1t has happened
before.
Once some dead German sailors
were brought ashore after fight with
some British destroyers. They We're
buried with honors. and a wreath from
a British admiral, called them a
Brave and Gallant Enemy" There
was some indignation in England, but
| it got nowhere.
Richthofen. was buried with the
honors that the men who had fought
him chose to accord to him.
