Washington Russia is more down

ever was under the Gar, The Senate
Propaganda Investigating Committee
was told by Herman Bernstein, an
American writer who spent some time
in Russia. He said this new slavery
actually was brought about by the
Germans. "Truth," the witness went
on, completely disarms the Bolshe-
wiki. The exposure of their methors
is sliIcient to end it everywhere for
ever That's why freedom Of speech
has been suppressed entirely"

Figuring the Tax.

Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits from
net income, together with the personal
exemption. AS in previous years, diyl-
dends of domestic corporations are ex-
empt from normal tax when received
by the stakeholder.
The normal tax rates for citizens
and residents are as follows: On the
first ~$4 900 of net income in excess of
the credits the rate is 6 per cent; on
any further taxable income the rate is
II per cent,
The surtax rates apply to net in
come of each individual in excess of
$4,000. The personal exemption and
the dividends are not deductible before
computing surtaX. In the case of re
turns by husband and wife, the net
income of each is considered separate
ly in computing any surtaX that may
be due. Form 1910 should be used for
making returns of net income exceed
ing $4,000, and the Instructions on that
form will show how, to figure the sur
tax

UNCLE SANS SMALLEST COIN
Although il is not Generally Known
Penny 10 not Least Money.

Although il is not Generally Known
Penny 10 not Least Money.
What is the smallest coin in nego-
table value issued by the government
of the United States?
II you can answer that question cor
rectly you have right to go up to
the head Of the class.
A farthing Is the least coin.
Didn't know that Uncle Sam minted
farthings, did you? Well, he does, and
millions of them. They represent, OF
course, half cent.
Oddly enough, while Of exactly the
same material as the bronze cent-96
per cent. copper and per cont. nickel
and tin-they are much bigger than a
cent piece. The latter weighs 4S grains;
the farthing 80 grains.
All Of the farthings are made at the
San Francisco mint, which in 1917 (ths
latest year for which figures are avail
able) turned out 100000 Of them.
The reason you have never heard Of
them Is that they are not circulated in
this country, nor acceptable as money
In the United States. They are called
"centavos" and are manufactured for
use in the Philippine Islands.
The reason why the farthinss are
bigger than our cents is that the Fill
pinos are accustomed to good sized
coppers and like them better
The San Francisco mint makes all
the metal money for the Philippines
In 1917 it turned out, for circulation in
those islands, 674,S69 .fifty-centavo
pieces, 3,150,656 twenty-centavo pieces
and 5,s91,14S ten-centavo pieces. All
of these were silver. In addition 1t
minted 100000 FIVE -centavo nickels.
II in each case you divide the number
of centavos by two you get the value. OF
the coin in our cents.
In this connection 1t Is appropriate
to mention that something more than
ordinarily interesting is now going on
at the Philadelphia mint. The mint is
making a mint. Not building the
building, you understand, but con-
structing the machinery for coin
production. Which the same, including
all requisite apparatus, will soon be
shipped to Manila. After the first of
next year the Filipinos are going to
make their own metal money.-kan-

at the conclusion of conference be-
tween Senator Dial of South Carolina
and DR.. Milton Whitney, chief of the
bureau of soils In the department of
agriculture, says Washington dis
patch of last Friday. This indicates
the tabling for the time being of the
proposition which has greatly alarm
ed southern oil mill, fertilizer and
agricultural interests for the promul-
CATION by the government Of fair prices

der authority of an act passed two
years ago. About $50 business men
and leaders in the industries affected
appeared last week In opposition to
the price fixing project before board
at the department of agriculture Rep
reservations were made in behalf OF
the cotton belt that although only
about IA per cent. Of the cottonseed
meal produced is used in fertilizer
making, a price fixing policy by the
government at this stage would dis
astrously affect the price of cottonseed
and embarrass greatly the operations
of cotton seed crushers and allied in

- Columbia, October S:-The short
age of freight cars in the southeastern
territory is being acutely felt in South
Carolina, so much 30 that many lum-
Der mills and other industries, parti-
cularly those situated south Of Colunl-
bia, have been forced to shut down
because of the inability to get their
products moved and to receive freigh;
necessary to continue their business,
according to Frank w. shealy, chair
man of the South Carolina railroad
commission. South Carolina has fac
ed q car shortage for some time and,
freight is being piled up in many
parts of the state with nothing to
move 1t. The commission has made
many efforts to have these conditions
relieved, but 80 far these efforts have
been unavailing. Mr.. Shealy asserts
that the shortage is demoralizing bus
mess and Is throwing number ofpeo-
pie out of employment. Construction
projects, he said. have been brought
to standstIll because Of the failure
of contractors to get material. The
commission renewed its complaint to-
day to Walker d. Hines, director gen.
eral of the United States railroad I'd
ministration in letter written by Mr..
Shealy In which the director general
Is asked q number of specific questions
as to what has become of railroad

Lizards Eggs as Food.-The water
monitor affords one Of the food stand
bys of the natives of India, Ceylon'
and the Malay Peninsula. The eggs
of this lizard are more highly priced
than hens eggs. according to writer
In The Scientific American.
The. monitor is equipped with long,
forked tongue, extending from q
sheath like a snakes. 1t is one OF the
largest of existing lizards. reaching
a length of seven feet, although its
nearest relative, the gigantic Austral-
ian monitor, grows from twelve to
thirty feet long. The monitor lays
twenty or more white softshelled eggs
In hollow trees, and in Burman these
bring q much higher price than hens
eggs.
The monitor often startles hunters
by crashing through the jungle, MAX
ing as much noise as large game. 1t
climbs trees for squirrels. birds, and
their eggs. At other times it may be
found digging along stream banks for
the eggs of the crocodile, of which 1t
is most fond. Either IN running or
swimming, it can leave it's enemies far
behind. If surprised when up tree,
it drops into the water, swimming
with powerful strokes of it's flatteneG
tail, which acts as oars and rudder.

ish to try to keep men from making

Asked to name the oldest tune in the

in distant Asia and Africa. as well as
in most European countries, has an in

ITS orighsis lost in antiquity, but It is
supposed to have been learned from
the ancient Babylonians by the Egypt

Asia, Minor Arabs still slnS it. !. !,
The Crusaders caught the tune from
their Saracen enemies, and sung it On

was ultimately carried into Europe.
where 1t survived, in various forms,
among the folk songs of the different
nations.
In 1903, after their defeat at Malpla-

rumor of the Duke Of Marlborough's
death in battle, composed satiric IA
ment, "Mabrook Is on to the War;.
