Cecilie is occupied as private resi- dences rented from the government and has a few military bureaus in one section.
 Charlottenpurg castle has been used since December last as an or thopedic hospital except the middle section, which is extraordinarily ar tistic and historically valuable.
 The palace of Prince August Will helm is rented to two state bureaus and it's library is used for charitable purposes. Bellevue castle now houses state and government authori- ties.
 The finance ministry which has been seeking space in some of these palaces has found that all the avail able room had been taken as long ago as last March.

Cross for use as a military hospital for chronic rheumatism resulting from trench warfare. Five hundred soldiers are already there, recovering from rheumatism and similar diseases contracted while undergoing the hardShips of war.
 In times of peace thousands of tourists visited Salsburg, high up in the Transylvanian Alps, southwest of Kronstadt. Many came for the daz- zing social life. With it's magnificent hotels and gay casino it was perhaps the chief show place of eastern Europe. When the Germans pushed the Rumanians out of this district early in the war, General Macken- sen and his staff took possession of the town and staged luxurious revelry there. When the Germans left they footed the place, stripped the hotels of tapestries, furniture and brass fit tings. Even the equipment for the medicinal baths was wrecked. Under the direction of Major | George c. Treadwell of Albany, N. Y., and several American physicians, the baths were retitted sufficiently to care for the soldiers.

FORMER CASTLES AS
 DWELLING HOUSES
Palatial Residences Will Be
 Utilized at Once

Berlin. Dec. ,. (By The Associated Press. )-There is a widespread de- 1nand that the former royal and ,51.incely palaces and castles of this city be utilized to allay the need of dwellings during the coming winter by renting parts of them to people in need of homes. Mayor Wermuth has sent a telegram to the imperial dwelling commissioner calling his at tention to this situation.
 The commissioner, in reply, says there are in Berlin only six of these buildings, that are large and notable. Of these, the former emperor's palace, in which troops were housed for some time, will be occupied by state en- ployes as rapidly as it's rooms are vacated and eventually will be made into a. museum, for works of art.
 The Marshall, the former royal stables, also has been occupied by tgDops but will be turned over to the civ of Berlin for administrative aasafes.

Massachusetts Woman Attributes Her
 S2 Years to Smoking.

Westtield, Mass, Dec. 5.-To the use of tobacco was attributed her longevity by Mrs. Mary Jane Adgate, aged S2 years, who recently died in her home on Thomas street here. Mrs. Adgate sn oled a pipe for years, be- ginning the habit when she was a little girl. She acquired the taste for tobacco from her grandm other, who was a pipe smoker. She had no use for the weed in any other form but the pipe smoking and secured the greatest amount of peasure out of one of the old familiar clay '"T D." pipes
 She had been in failing health for some time, but even during her sick ness would not depart from her habit of smoking a pipe.

tract to write a book for a new comic
opera and received an advance fee OF
$1,000. When the time came to deliver
the work he had not written line.
He did not want to admit this and he
did not want TO give back the $1,000.
SO he went to a bookstore. bought the
book Of an old opera, had II typewrit.

interest Is shown in wide diversity
of topics.
Potato growing. the use of the sun

of the country. We know IL. not from
theory, but from practice. On large

lines and our trans-Oceanic cables.
Even In those states OF the middle
west where, prior to this beneficial
experience. the government ownership
idea had taken the deepSet root, the
dream has now dissolved. Were

states where this form OF socialism

gotten ON for quite awhile without the
ballot, 80 why get 80 excited over the

the cost, the reasons given would seem

Anyway, II is freely predicted that
the native statesmen Of New Mexico
will have to think a long time before

they intend to remain at the head OF
their respective households for the pre-

A Step Forward in Taxation

One Of the most significant gather
ings ever held was that which met In
the capital city OF New Mexico on
Wednesday to Friday. December II,
Is and 10Th. IL was composed OF as
SCISSORS county commissioners and
other county officials called into con-
yention by the State Tax Commission.
At this time when the taxes have been
increased by extraordinary percentages
In all the counties Of the state. the
question is squarely before the taxing
bodies and the taxpayers of New Mex
leo. what shall we do to have the
benefits of government without ruin
Gus rates?'
In answer to this question, the tax
officials have In effect replied, "All
taxable property, both real and per-
sonal. must be assessed at its equitable
full valeT" In order to bring this
about, the assessor must value propet-
ty by personal inspection and 10
this end he must be given fail allow
ance for expenses incurred, and legis-
latiOn was recommended by the con-
ference which viii permit payments for
such purposes. In order TO guide the
assessor In his work Of valulng proper
ty for taxation there must be close
study OF actual sales In his county TO
create a standard for the actual
value" assessment required by law.
An important feature of the work OF
the State Tax Commits
sion, during the past few months, has
been the collection Of data relating TO
more than 10000 transfers Of proper
". These data have been tabulated
by counties and show as far as these
transfers are concerned. an underval-
nation for tax purposes that will
average almost fifty per cent for the
state. To eliminate this discrepancy
between actual value and assessed
value Is the one big job for assessors
and boards OF equalization
With all property assessed at actual
value" the next problem is to secure
full collection OF taxes due and this
problem was faced by the convention
in a determined spirit. A full col.
lection Of taxes depends. q the firsi
place. upon a proper and legal assess.
ment and, In the second place, upon
the full compliance by the county col.
lectOr with his duties as prescribed by
! law. Every county must bring up It's
percentage OF tax collections to a 100
per cent standard. Is one OF the con.
clusions reached by the conference.
A third place OF conventions delib.
erations was that relating TO public
expenditures and the necessity for bud
gets and adequate control. The ad
dresses OF Mr. Saint and Mr.. Joerns
chairman and secretary respectively OF
the State Tax Commission. with ref
erenne to this matter. indicated the
general outlines OF the plan for secur
ing efficiency and economy OF admins
tration from \ financial point Of view
Publicity as to all matters Of taxa
tion within each county and among ths
counties throughout the state was ais,
strongly urged. This should b,
