the victims of economic conditions be-
yond a~nybody's control. Their asser-
lions that they make an almost infin-
itesmal profit and often operate at a
loss do not seem to make much i'm
preston on either the public or the
agencies of justice. That their state
ments are not always ingenious is in
stanced by the following assertion of
the Commercial research department"
of one of the big FIVE:
1.-THE general high price level is not
due to manipulation. This is shown
by a recent report of the war indus
tries board, which proves that prices
in other countries of the world have
risen as much as or more than they
have in the United States. and that
this has been true even in countries
relatively unaffected by war conditions.
such as Japan and Australia"
The truth is that Australia is glutted
with food products and its people are
struggling to keep prices up to a prof
liable level. Also, while there was a
big advance in the prices of Japan's
chief food, rice, 1t was admittedly due
to the manipulations of hoarders and
p%rofiteers and was the cause of riots
and of government action.

Chicago's race war, which at bottom
was largely industrial and partly po-
l%itical, practically came to an end, and
ON Thursday more than 5000 colored
employees of the packing houses re-
turned to work. AS they walked in, a
large number of white employees laid
down their tools and quit. some Of
them because most of the colored
workers are nonunion and others be-
cause they objected to laboring under
police and military protection.

After Bella Kun and his communist
government of Hungary quit and made
way for the Socialists things moved
rapidly in Budapest. The Roumanian
army, which had routed the Hungarian
Red troops, advanced to the city and
occupied it, and Roumania issued IN
ultimatum to Hungary which was not
countenanced by the allied peace coun-
Gil. Therefore French and American
troops were sent to Budapest and as
sumed control and the Roumanians
were told they must get out. Next the
socialist government was overthrown
and its members arrested and Arch
duke Joseph assumed power with the
title of governor of the state. He was
supported by the entente mission in
the city and announced he would form
a coalition cabinet with Stephen
Friedrich as premier.

CH|LD'S TONGUE BECOMES COATED
 IF CONSTIPATED
When cross, feverish and sick give California
 Syrup of F'igs.'

Children love this fruit laxative" and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
 A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels. and the result is, they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well, playful child again.
 Millions of mothers give "Califor- nia Syrup of Figs" because it is per fectly harmless; children love it, and 1t never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels.
 Ask your druggist for g bottle of California syrup Of Figs, ' which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be- ware of commercials sold here. Get Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.-Adv.

REVENUE BUREAU WARNS PEOPLE
 AGAINST FAKE EXPERTS ON TAXES

turns under the new Revenue Bill may be had up to the final date for filing such returns.
 Banks, trust companies and similar responsible institutions have always co-operated in furnishing authentic Income Tax information, and have generously offered to serve the gov ernment and taxpayers in this respect again this year.
 Tt is the aim of the Bureau to bring its agencies as close as possible to every person and to make available in official form all necessary tnforma- tion regarding the requirements of the law. The Bureau welcomes aid from every responsible agency in it's effort to enlighten the people on tax mat ters.
 Every taxpayer is assured of a square deal from the Government based entirely on the tax laws and regulations and the facts in his case. No other influence is allowed to enter into Internal Revenue matters and the statement of any firm CT individual that they are in a position to exert special influence with Internal Rev enue Officers is wholly without foun- dation in fact. Painstakng and open minded consideration is given in every case regardless of whether the tax payer appears in person or by attor- ney.
 Firms or persons who offer to pros ecute claims against the Government can secure no epecial consideration beyond the merits of the claims as determined by the facts and the law. Any former government officer or employe is barred by statute from
 acting as counsel, attorney or agent for prosecuting claims against the United States which were pending while he was an officer or employe; and is also barred from aiding in any manner the prosecution of such claima within two years after leaving the l government service

and when the mayor realized this, he thought of a one-man commission for both boards. This would do away with Stanley and placate his angered henchmen.
 But it was here that the mayor guessed wrong, for his Republican al dernen baked. They told Mayor Wilson frankly that if he believed he had made a mistake in re-appointing Stanley he should ask the police commissioner for his resignation. The Republican aldermen, told the mayor they would vote against his measure, according to information obtained to- day, and the mayor attempted 10 rise to unknown heights in his wrath and told them to go ahead It was said the mayor was even willing to sub init his plan to the citizens ot Bridgeport.
 Clearer heads, however. finally pre- vailed and the bill was killed by the committee, but only after hard struggle, as many were anxious to re- buke his honor in open council.

MAYOR SAVED
 FROM REBUKE
Charter Changes Would Have Been Beaten Had
 They Gone to Aldermen.

It was learned on high authority today that had Mayor Clifford 5. Wl-- sons measure, asking charter changes to affect the police, fire, health charities and educational depart ments. gone to the aldermen, thirteen Republican members of the board would have voted against the proposi- ton.
 only quick work on the part of two or three Republican leaders saved the measure from going on the floor. Alderman Blakes!ee of the ordinance committee. is said to have been in favor of having the mayors changes beaten by the aldermen. The vote would have been II to : against it.
 The entire fracas which is likely to spell the permanent downfall of Mayor Wilson, came about through his re-appointment of John c. Stanley as police commissioner. This move was highly displeasing to the masses

A warning against fake experts" on Income Tax has been sounded by the Internal Revenue Bureau. in a statement received by Collector James J. Walsh from Commissioner Daniel c. Roper.
 Business houses and individual taxpayers are being canvassed this year by numerous so-called Income Tax Experts who offer to use their magic wands of Income Tax wisdom to relieve the busy taxpayer from all worries about his tax responsibilities. T desire to make public announce ment, for the information of tax payers, that an investigation of the qualifications of many of these 'ex- perts' will disclose the fact that very few have had the training and experi- ence that would place them anywhere near the expert class.
 Some of them were formerly tenn porary employees of the government who are attempting to capitalize this fact regardless of their personal knowledge of the revene laws and knowledge of the revenue laws and ents on the strength of diplomas as Income Tax experts obtained after long-distance courses by means of printed instructions of doubtful value Taxpayers should not allow them selves to be imposed upon by strang- CTS who claim to be Income Tax ex- perts. They should discriminate care-
 fully between really helpful. authori- | tative advice in tax matters, and the irresponsible brani peddled under glittering pretenses.
 The Bureau is arranging to fur
 nish for the benefit of Income Tax [ payers in every city and town in the country, a free advisory service by
 trained collectors, agents, inspectors and deputies. At the offices of Col
 lectors and their Deputies, and at other central points, free information
 and advice with respect to filing re-

TEACH ECONOMIC
 VALUE OF SNAKE

New York, Jan. 29-A campaign of 1 education on behalf of the non-pois-, onous snake is to be undertaken by the Reptile Study Society of Amer '. ica it was announced today by Allen g. Williams. president of the organizd- ton. who declared that as a destroyer of rodents and other small pests on the farm the snake is friend and bnefacor of man"
 "The snake has a very important bearing on the question of food pro-, duction." said Mir. Williams, and ev-! cry person who kills poisonous snake might as well destroy one hun4, dred times the snakes weight in wheat"
 Mir. Williams proposes that the1 snakes economic value be taught hereafter in farm school and asricul-' tural colleges.

FEW RETIRE FRON
 POLICE FORCE:
Prospective Candidates will Probably Wait Until City's
 Finances Improve.

Prospective candidates for posi- tions in the police department are due for disappointment in the near future. It was said some time ago IT men were to be retired from the force, and that many new men ap- pointed. Later it was said the re. tirements would not exceed six this year.
 It now develops the total retire ments from the police department this year will not exceed one. Men who have been pronised appoint ments on the force in payment. for political debts or for any other cause, will have to wait another year, unless the number of men in the department is increased for their benefit, which seems unlikely at this time. Men who are looking for appoint ment have been watching for the next meeting of the Police Commission, which takes place at police head quarters Friday night. It was ex- pected that the men who were to be retired from active duty would be retired at this meeting.
 It is authoritatively stated there are o'eidh iedSoAS IoI HoL TtLlrInS any men from the force this year, and this applies also to the fire department The chief reason why retirements will be few and far between this year, is because of the financial condition in which the administration finds itself.
 Retiring men from the police and fire departments is expensive busi- ness, and with the city fathers now contemplating issuing bonds to pay interest and principle on old bonds | there is no money available to retire 1 men who have outlived their useful ness as active members of the two 1 departmentS.

WHY HAIR FALLS OUT

Dandruff causes feverish irritation of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a small bottle of Dan derine at any drug store. pour a little in your hand and rub well into the scalp. After a few applications all dandruff disappears and the hair stops coming out.-Adv.

GERMAN PRESS 0N' COLONY QUESTION.
No Little Disquietude Over Disposition of Hun
 Possessions.

Berlin, Tuesday, Jan. 28-(By The Associated Press) Will sons speech of Saturday last before the Peace Congress contains the fol- lowing sentence, as transmitted to Berlin and here re-translated from the German:
 The United States would have a feeling that it could not take part in guaranteeing these European ad- 1ustments unless this garanty includ- ed the permanent surveillance of the world peace by the associated nations of the world"
 This sentence, together with the reported decision of the Supreme Council al Tuesdays session that the German colonies must not be given back to Germany, has disquieted some German circles. The Boursen Zeitung, for instance, says:
 If President Wilson is correctly reported he confesses openly that he, too, like Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd George, does not desire Ger" many in the future community of na- tions as an equal among equals, but as a nation watched by overseers. The President can not won der if people in Germany gradually begin to form the opinion that the hopes they placed in him are to be disappointed"
 The Socialist newspaper EOrwaeTts, in commenting on the report regard ing the division of the German col onies among the Allied nations, says: "The League of Nations Is making a lovely beginning. The decision of the Western Powers 10 take the Ger man colonies for themselves is born 1 of a spirit diametrically opposed to | that proclaimed by President Wilson. It appears more and more as if it were the intention of the western inn l perialsts to leave to MT. Wilson the | merely musical and declamatory roles of the performance and to re- serve to themselves the business end 1 of the show. We Germans would prefer an honest policy of 1 stand and deliver to a policy of i'm perial aggrandizement adorned with ethical and oratorical phrases. But since America has not yet agreed to the pact we shall later see whether | America can do anything except make speeches"
 The official text of the passage in President Wilson's speech of Satur- day, alluded to in the foregoing, as transmitted from Paris Saturday night, reads as follows:
 Tt (the United States) would feel that it could not take part in guar anteeing those European settlements unless that guarantee involved the | continuous superintendence Of the | peace of the world by the associated | nations of the world"
