When We wash white painted
woodwork we like to put about a
tablespoon Of coal oil into the water.
l am speaking of the ordinary white
enamel finish.
Use lukewarm water. a soft cloth to
wash with and another soft cloth to
dry with and rub lightly. The kero-
sene preserves the gloss and cuts the
dirt. Care must be taken to rub the
dirt off rather than in. Hard rubbing
has q tendency to deaden the finish
and work the dirt into the paint, CIV
ing it a gray look.
The present fashionable "egg-shell'
finish Is somewhat of a problem in
that it holds dust as a smooth gloss
paint does not. About two table
spoons Of gold-dust in three quarts of
iuke-warm water will prove quite
satisfactory. Wash with a sponge n
rub dry with a soft piece of cheese
cloth.
Why not eat less rs a means of low
ering the cost of living?

Persecution Of Armenians and
Confiscation of Property Pre-
vented by English Officer.

The most arbitrary city boss in the
world, 1t seems safe TO say, as well as
the most INSCRIPTIONS politician Of
modern times, has turned up In Aintab,
Armenia, TO judge from ap official re-
port recently made by Major Ste phen
Trowbridge, under Gen. Edmund ii. H.
Allenby's orders.
He is a Turk named Besim Bey. Until
the Near East Relief agents stopped
him, he practleed upon the terrified
Armenians such forms of super-graft
as might well make every other or.
rupt politician In the world green with
envy, and sucn cruelties as make all
other heartless rulers, from Nero
down, seem sweet and gentle char
acters. His office was that of Munic-
ipal Chief Accountant of Aintab; but,
as all dishonest office-holders know,
1t isn't the Job that matters, but the
sugar-plums that go with 1t. Besim
Bey plucked s~ugar-plums with both
hands, night and day.
Even inspired city bosses have their
day. Besim Bey's came when the
Near East Relief agents found that no
thorough Armenian relief work coulf
be done in that city while such condi
lions Of terrorizatlon existed. General
MacAndrew ordered the arrest and
removal of The six worst Turks in thu
ring that ruled the city, and Besim
Bey qualified, as usual, for first place.

DROPS In PRICES HIT
BIG DEALERS TAXES
Wholesalers, Retailers and
Manufacturers Seek Change
in Inventory Law.
PLAN DRIVE ON CONGRESS
Losses Because of Crash Can
not Be Written Off by Those
Carrying Old Stocks.
Special Despatch 20 THE NEW York HERALD.

Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c., Nov. IL.
Wholesalers. big retailers and many
manufacturers, backed by sympathetic
Government officials. are planning big
drive at the coming session OF Con-
gress for an amendment TO the tax
laws changing the inventory provisions
of the act of 1918.
The last revenue law when passed
contained a provision that inventories
OF goods on hand by various business
concerns could for the purpose OF tax
returns be taken at cost or market
value. with the provision that the Sc
lected option, be continued in succeeding
years.
Because OF the rising market at that
time virtually all the firms made their
tax returns on the basis of market
value. Since then the market has fallen.
particularly with reference to silk and
other go, Dis. and millions have been lost
on inventories.
Anticipating such situation after the
war. Congress put provision in the bill
that losses sustained in the year 1919
night be written off the returns 1t was
expressly provided. however. that the
provision held only FOR the year 1919.
Apparently Congress contemplated a re-
adjustment that would mean price re-
auctions long before this condition came
about 1t will be remembered at the
time the law was passed the Govern
ment departments were working on a
plan to fix prices that would sustain
business
The crash in prices did not come until
1920 however, and many firms that
lost heavily on Inventories cannot write
off these losses. Under the law they
must report goods on hand at the old
market value, when actually they cost
a great deal more u,an the present
market
1t is understood here that former
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Roper and former Deputy Commissioner
Hurley and others win take promi-
nent part in this campaign before the
next session of Congress. 1t will be rec
commended. It Is understood. that the
loss provision of the original act be ex-
tended for at least a year and that other
changes favorable to manufacturers and
to legitimate business will be put before
Congress.
