The Indestructible Bachelor

Those Americans who thought that
their own income tax was the most amaz-
ing tax bill in the world will be interest
ed to hear of clause in the British in
come tax rather more ingenious than any
thing Mr.. Claude Kitchin ever dreamed
in his most dyspeptic moment.
This clause penalties marriage and
pats the bachelor on the back, handing
him or her decided saving as compared
with the poor but married This is be-
cause the husband is deemed to be DOS
sessed of his wife's income, and both in
comes are counted jointly for purposes
Of assessment. With a tax rate rapidly
rising as the income increases the mulct-
ing of married couples is considerable
a years rent, according to some esti-
mates. This ruling flies in the face of
the law making a married woman's in
come her separate property. But it is
the ruling, and only Parliament can re-
store common sense to the situation.
A premium on immortality is the charge
made against the system. Where a man
and 6. woman, both in receipt of incomes,
are about to marry, they can save the
rent by refraining from doing So There
fore, in these times of financial stress,
who knows what is happening! Of
course, we are for hitting the bachelor in
the eye harder and harder; but we some
how doubt whether, even in times of
financial stress, such discrimination will
keep eff many wedding rings There is
nothing like marriage. Any number of
our freest lunching and loving radicals
have tried the ringless estate only to land
in Harlem fiat with blessing, contract,
ring and an instalment piano coming in
the door.
You don't need premiums to sell mar
riage to those who have made I'D their
minds to buy. And you couldn't sell it
to those crafty bachelors who have their
fingers crossed and their feet ready for
sprint if you should offer all the cou-
pons in tobacco shop. Bachelors are
born, not made. And while some men
feel that marriage was thrust upon
them, they really wanted it, or thew
wouldn't have walked into the trap. Tax
bachelors till they cry because they are
better poor; and who cares, anyway?
But don't think you can make them
marry.

Awake, my lutte, for Edar's

And It's not meet that we should shrink
When one so versed pretends to think
There's art in our cacophony
Come let us start little glee

Mutiiny

A little company Of Michigan and
on the Arctic threshold of Russia, de-
INJURED at returning to the Fighting
front south of Archangel." They re-
fused to obey orders.
That is mutiny.
They refused on the ground that "the
war with Germany was over and the
United States was not at war with the
Bolsheviki."
That is question of fact.
Before we deal with the question of
mutiny let us face the question of fact.
Are we at war with the Bolsheviki?
Morally we are not at war with them.
Although we have formally denounced
the leaders as monsters, although we
have called upon civilization to regard
them with horror, still Mr.. Wilson sends
sympathetic, personal emssaries to dis
cuss with those same leaders how the
world may placate Bolshevism.
Economically we are not at war with
them. Hoover is now investigating ways
and means of making a food bargain
with Bolshevism out of Americas sur
plus resources.
Politically we are not at war with
them. Lenines ambassador has been
admitted to this country and permitted
boldly to open bureau for transacting
the soviet governments business in the
United States
The only evidence that we are at war
with the Bolsheviki is the desperate case
Of those bewildered Michigan and Wis
~consin soldiers. Having been sent with
10 rational purpose in view, they have
been abandoned with Indifference.
Are we ct war with the Bolsheviki?
We do not know Nobody knows. The
commander Of the mutinous soldiers, of
course, could not know what is unknown.

the historian pass it ghtly--what he
said to his men was that they were al
in very tight place together and would
have to stick it out.
And what the soldiers said to hin,
remains to be pondered. They accepted
his verdict on the nature of their situa-
ton, but announced that there would
be a general mutiny unless there should
be soon forthcoming from Washington
some kind of definite statement.
There should be national mutiny on
the same conditions.

4 year ago the Russian situation was
very grave, and we were used to say
that the war with Germany would be
wen or lost in Russia.
Now tie Russian situation is a monu-
mental tragedy. 1t is clear that the war

Russia.
Shall it be ultimately lost there?

Lord of the bulging mailsack,

None names thee but TO roast.

One reads and hears but jests and jeers-

Let President Wilson Return

IF President Wilson is sympathetic IL the
matter of recognizing the Bolshevk leaders,
the sooner he gets back to America and takes
the opinion of the people-whom he does not
Representative better for the peace of the
world"
Home Secretary Shortt, in reply, said hc
sure there was no desire on the part
of any member to refuse to discuss things
with a Russian government worthy OF the
name.
"Our delegates are entitled to say if there
is a government which represents Russia they
are willing to negotiate with it." he said,
"but when it comes to the bloodthrsty ruff
fans who are terrorizing the Russian popu-
lation the House OF Commons is entitled to
say: We don't care whether you represent
the Russian government or not, but you are
a danger to civilization and we will protect
ourselves from you and your emssaries.'
That is what the government is doing

DaNying With Lenine
Ns1o York Tribune
European Burcau

Copyright. 1919. New York Tribune Inc)
II ONDON, April 10. - The British
House of Commons showed itself
last night Enthusiastically against any
negotiations with the Bolsheviki
Anticipating the motion by Colonel
Wedgewood demanding peace with the Boil
sheviki, Glenn Edwards moved an ad journ-
ment Of the House "to call attention to al
legged overtures from the Bolshevik regime
in Russia to the peace conference"
Introducing the motion, Mr.. Edwards
said it had been reported that Bolshevik
emissaries had gone to Paris and inter-
viewed certain American and British rep
resentatives; that the american repre-
sentatives were sympathetic and some
British likewise believed to be SYM
pathetic. He was informed that two Amer
lean citizens had been permitted to go to
Russia, where they had long conversations
with Lekine and other Boshevk leaders.
They returned to Paris with a written
document signed by Lenine. proposing GER
tain terms in return for recognition, one
of the terms being that the whole of the
Russian people be recognized as subjects
of the Bolshevik regime.
SCOTS at Le5ii5ee 'Ternrs''
at is impossible that this or any self
respecting country should contemplate
recognition upon that basis, for it means
handing over the whole loyalists of Russia,
body and soul, to the Lenine regime" he
said. "If for any reason any plenipoten-
tiaries of this country have granted re-
cognition on this basis, the vast majority
of the House of Commons would repudiate
the treaty. To recognize the Bolshevik
regime would wipe out the great sacrifices
made by those who had fought in the
name Of good order, liberty, humanity and
democracy in the great war. Instead Of
giving official recognition to the Bolshe-
vik regime, the better way would be to
crush it out
seconding the motion, General Crof.
said: "lf we recognized the Bolshevik
regime Bolshevism would spread over Ger
many and possibly China, which would
mean an end of civilization We ought to
have no truck with thing which is evil"
Colonel Guinnes said it was unthinkable
that the government contemplated recogniz-
ing Boshevisn. He condemned the idea that
we should let Bolshevism burn itself out, de-
clarng: "Fhat would be cruel to our allies
as we'll as to Russia. The better way would
be to send food to enable them to fight the
Boshevists."
Mr.. Bottomley hoped to have assurance
from the government that there was no foun-
dauon for the rumor that it is going 70
daily with overtures from Lenine. The
whole Bolshevist movement in Russia was
part and parcel of German propaganda. 1t
stood Tor murder, pillage, rapine, lust and
every conceivable crime which is found on
the devils calendar.

Cut Metal With Smooth Disks.

Not so very long ago the discovery
was made that metals could be sawed
easier and quicker with rapidly revOlv-
Ing smooth disks of steel than with
toothed circular saws. 1t was found
that the cutting was done by the heat
generated by the friction of the edge
Of the disk against the metal. The
metal Is melted at the point Of con-
tact while the steel of the disk, being
cooled by the air, does not reach the
melting point. The disks need no
sharpening and do not e out so
quickly as the toOthed. saws heretofore
used for cutting metal. The faster the
disk revolves, the greater the amount
of heat generated and the quicker the
job.-Popular Science Monthly.

EXPLAINS NATURE OF THIRST
Doctor Cannon Of Harvard University
Shows Where Popular Concep-
ton Has Been Wrong.

The popular conception of thirst,
according to a well-known medical
Journal. Is a lessened water content
Of the body, a condition in which the
entire organism suffers, but DR.. w.
b. Cannon of Harvard university, con-
siders It a purely local phenomenon.
According to him. the pre-eminent
factor is the relative drying Of the
mucoSa Of the mouth and pharynx.
This may result either from excessive
use Of the passage for breathing. as
in prolonged speaking or singing. or
II may be caused by deficient salivary
secretion. The latter, according to
Cannon. represents true thirst depend
ing on the fact that the salivary
glands. which keep the buccal and
pharyngeal mucosa moist. require wa
ter for their action"
The ~salivary glands occupy a stra-
tegic position In relation to a surface
that tends to become dry by the pas
sage Of air over II. thus" Cannon
concludes. "the diminishing action OF
the salivary glands becomes q delicate
Indicator OF the bodily demand for
iiuid."
