Several years ago William Waldorf
Astor concluded America was too
plebeian for his aristocratic Ideals.
He removed TO England. became nat
uralized in that country and took on
all the aristocratic airs and habili-
ments Of an English gentleman. Mr..
Aston ignored the fact that his an
cestors had come TO this country as
storage passengers with their worldly
goods tied In bundles which they car
ried on their backs. He ignored the
fact that their methods OK living
empty store boxes for furniture and
the coarsest and most meager food
enabled them 10 save the first dollars
which went into the founda tion of the
great Aston fortune. These early pri-
vations were no stigma upon the an
cestors OF William Waldorf Aston.
They are cited 10 show the contrast
between their condition and his snob-
berry.
Mr.. Astor's fortune was invested In
American securities. When he be-
came an Euglishman he left the bulk
of his income producing property in
America where the rates were higher
than In the land OF his adoption.
When America entered the war the
Aston property was caught between
two millstones. England taxes the in
comes Of her citizens according TO
their residence. regardless Of where
the property which produces the IN
come Is located. Thus England placed
a tax on the income OF Mr.. Aston be-
cause ne was British citizen. The
United States income tax law places
the burden upon the property which
produces the income regardless OF
where the owner of the property Is
domiciled. The Aston property, being
located IL this country, became enb-
ject to the United States income tax
The result is that Mr.. Aston Is COM
PEELED to pay an income tax in Eng
land because he is an Englishman and
an American income tax because hi:
property is located in this country.
The two taxes are much more thar
the income from the property so taxed
Consequently, the American snob WHIT
became an English gentleman ::
forced to draw heavily upon the prin.
cipal Of his estate to pay MIS- double

SAFETY FIRST, INVESTIGATION AFrEawARp.

The calamity at Cedar Rapids is to
be Investigated" Certain experts"
in explosions are to examine and de-
eide as to what caused the explosion
and coroner's jury will render a YER
dict. What the experts will be able 70
discover after the explosion has prac-
tically wiped all evidences of the cause
out is more or less to be guessed at
But the coroner's jury should be able
to bring out from the evidence of the
living whether or not carelessness and
neglect OF safety first were respons-
ible
A better plan than that Of guess
work investigation by experts after the
explosion would be a reliable system OF
inspection by experts Of all plants
where life and limb are endangered by
the nature OF the material handled oI
by lack Of proper and precautionary
amity.
Workers have right to safe place
to work. at least as safe as modern
science and appliances Cor safety can
make. The community and adjoining
property holders have, right to de-
mand all possible safety against dis
astrous explosions that put the lives
and property Of the, community in je-
opardy. The investigation should 60

ness. II the company had taken ali

precautions are insufficient then the,

cient by legal enactment.

WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?

Davenport DenocratJ
1t will rather urprise the people OF
Davenport TO learn that the railroads
appropriated 1921. 100000 more for the
upkeep of roadbed and equipment. for
the first three months of 1919. than
for the cores bonding period OF 1913.
and over $500. 100000 mora than for tho
same period in 1916. TIE figures were
given out by the interstate commerce
commission late last week.
For the whole of 1918, under govern
ment operation. s1,76l, 100000 or nearly
81 per cent OF gross earnings. was used
for maintenance, against only sl,l36,-
100000. or IS per cent Of gross, in 1911
The quetion arises az to where this
largely increased amount was spent,
for the railroad administration has
taken the attitude that II could no.
even carry out the valid contracts OF
the railroads Cor important work here
in Davenport, such as the lowering OF
the tracks under the government
bridge approach, or the building Of the
badly needed new passenger station.
These are part Of the contract which
the administration inherited when It
took over the roads. and they are pro-
jects essential TO the proper mainten-
ance of service and equipment. And
yet when the roads go tack TO private
ownership ii is quite evident that these
contracted Improvements will have
made practically no progress and that
there will De nothing here TO stand for
the largely increased outlay for main
tenance which the railway administra-
ton reports.
II is unfortunate that the government
in many lines has held that when it
took over the properties of various in =
dustries it did not take over the obli-
cations that properly went with them
What the total hidden deficit" in neg
iected maintenance will be there is no
means Of estimating, but from the evil
dence at hand one may conclude tina,
it may be OF disappointing size.

Simple Way to
End DandruH

There is one sure way that has
r'ever failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
YOU destroy It entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store Chis is all you will need),
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moister the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most :f not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.

A Simple Way to
Reduce Wrinkles

Remember that wrinkles and bag
giness of cheek or chin are due to
the muscular tissue losing its
strength and shrinking. The skin is
then too large in area to fit such
tissue smoothly. 1t wrinkles or says.
To remedy this condition. there's
nothing so effective, so quick-acting,
as a simple wash lotion easily made
at home. Just get an ounce of pure
powdered saXolite at your druggists.
and a half pint of witch hazel, mix
the two and battle your face in the
liquid. This at once tighens the skin
and solidfes the underlying tissues
which. of course. smooths out the
lines and draws in the sagging skin.
1t also stimulates capillary circula-
checks.

Stop Itching Skin

There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and
that cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask anydruggist for 35cor ST. bottle
ofZemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little Zemo, the penetrating, salts

banishes most skin eruptions, makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy,
