Senate Finance Committee
Begins Revision Downward

TOBACCO TAXES REDUCED

The Senate finance committee today
began revision Of the war revenue
bill so as to limit the revenue to be
collected in 1919 to $4,000, 100000, in
accordance with the plans suggested
by Chairman Simmons last evening.
The committee, however, took no
action on the proposal to reduce the
revenue to be collected in 1920 to
$4,000. 100000.
A struggle is expected over this
proposal. in which the democrats will
support the reduction to $4,000.OOO.O00
and the republicans will oppose. The
ground that it is a reduction, but on
the grounds that the republicans
should be allowed in the next Con-

NPESETIERS EASIER;
FRACTIONS Stronger


Transactions on today's session OF
the local stock exchange were more
or less restricted, and confined en-
tirely to the stock section, not SIN
gle bond changing hands. Prices Tor
bonds were nominally unchanged.
The typesetters were easier, with
Mergenthaler under some little pres
sure, one small sale being reported
at the opening at 142, after which
a number of ten-share quotations lots
sold at 141 to 1397s, with the stock
offered at 139k at the close and with
1857 the best bid. The reaction was
due to the fact that but little more
than the dividend requirements were
earned in the last fiscal year
Lanston probably sold off in SYM
pathy with its associate, the best bid
being 66, with 6s asked.
Light Transactions were recorded in
railway preferred at 20. Capltal
Traction was held at S7H, with 81
bid. Bids of SO were made for rail-
way common ex-dividend.

Patriotic Mother Canny.

When, a few months ago, one of our
troop ships was torpedoed there were,
of course, many worried mothers. One
of them received a cable message tell
ing her of her sons rescue, and was
naturally much relieved. But this cable
was followed almost Immediately by
another asking for money by cable.
The mother of this lad was rather
puzzled by the message, as she could
not tell if it was genuine or not. She
did not wish to risk sending n COM
paratively large amount of money to
an imposter, so she hit on the plan
of sending a return message asking
the sender of the first cable to cable
the name of the family's two dogs;
names which would only be known to
a member of the family.
The answer with the right names
came at once, and the son received
the money. He has been boasting OF
his mothers clevernesS eve since.

Gas Well Finally "Tamed."

Out in the sagebrush-cOvered wastes
of eastern Washington there has just
been tanned a big gas well, and devel-
opment work on the property is now
under way. The flow of gas was dis
covered three years ago, when a mis-
guided settler drilled for water and
had a four-inch pipe blown out of the
ground. A year later a passerby threw
a lighted match into the gas and for
IS months the well burned day and
night, a beacon visible for miles
around. "A few months ago the old
well was capped, the gas used to pro-
vide fuel for a modern drilling engine,
and an 1S-inch pipe has just been sunk
into the gas reservoir.

War Strain Causes Nerve Shock.

The term shell shock has misled
many persons to believe that it is due
to the profound impression or shock
produced on the nervous system by
the detOnatiOns of high explosives.
No doubt, there are cases of actual
brain or nerve injury due to concus-
sion of the air accompanying shell ex-
blossoms, but these mechanical causes
are q great deal less frequently re-
spOnsible for war neurOses than the
mental effects of general war. strain.
1t is remarkable that these war neu-
roses, common as they are among pri-
Yates and officers alike, are seldom
found in men who have been actually
wounded. Perhaps this seeming anom-
ally is due to the actual wound shock

PROBABLY SET HIM THINKING
Reply Of War Department Official to
SIacker's Request Might Almost
Be Called Caustic.

The following letter, addressed to a
certain branch of the war department,
aud dated from a town somewhere in
the West, arrived in Washington a few
days ago:
Dear Sirs: / am a young man who
would like to get into the fray against
the kaiser and his hordes. / am twen-
ty-one years of age, of splendid ply
sique, being five feet and ten inches
in height. 1 weigh about $50 pounds,
am quite an athlete and a graduate of

these qualifications, 1 have had con-
siderable experience in business, hav-
ing managed for some time various
automobile agencies. / am quite ia
miliar with many kinds of automobiles.
81 would like a position in some
branch Of the war department as a
typewriter and stenOgrapher."
The officer to whom this letter came
for a reply has seer considerable ac-
tive service, not only in this war, but
in others. He notified his stenographer
that he would write a personal answer
to the young man who desired war
service. A portion of his letter was as
follows:
young man, your letter has been
received in this office, and l am writing
you a personal letter. 1t will be short
and to the point. 1 have a son. He is
just your age, height and weight. He
has a splendid education and has been
considered quite an athlete. You have
the advantage of him in business; he

MAKES SACRIFICE FOR SONS
Spirit Of seIf-DeniaI Shown by Little
New York Jew as Beautiful as
It Is Rare.

Essex and Delaney streets are the
heart of the great many-tOngued city
which lives over near East river
the Ghetto. The streets are always
crOwded-crowded with bearded men,
old women with shawls and sheitels,
eager dark-eyed children; handsome
girls, and young men clothed in the
East sides version of what Fifth I'VE
nue. wears.
On the corner year in and year out
is a little Galician Jew. His small
shrunken face is smeared dark by the
stubble of a sparse beard his fiat lit
tie derby is pushed down over his
ears; his clothes are a mere covering.
For years he has been peddling the
large salt pretzels which are strung
on sticks and stand upright from his
basket
He never tries to force a sale. He
never solicits patronage. He lives in
a little room over a small bakery. He
speaks very little English-and yet in
a large Eastern college there are two
of his sons being educated so that they
will not have to live the life of drudg-
cry the father has led. And the
wOrld-weary little father is paying the
bills by self-denial.

She then continued to the stables
and saw the carriage of state, the

And then the house of lords. "You

Der of the house to get in. We
we're introduced to a lord and he
took us in and, believe me, the sew
ing club has nothing on the house
of lords when it mt to everyone
talking at the same time. To say
they rebuked one another is putting
it mildly. They say of the house
of lords here, They are good for
nothing, but they are very good at
that"

Curley says: at rains here 20

We have escaped all the hot wealth

not going to France, but we may
