public.
Q. What are the rules for playing dOmi-
A. In the game as played by its greatest
living exponent, Uncle Joe" Cannon, at the
National Press club in Washington, a sin
Of which it is permissible to play is set.
"snifter," the game is to build five's or
multiples of five, and each five so built
counts point. When a player has not a
domino to match one of the ends exposed,
he draws until he gets such a domino.
Whenever one player "dominoes" or plays
his last domino he counts the points in
the hands Of his opponent and scores one
for each five points. In case of block, -
the player with the least total number or
points held is entitled to count the points
In the hand of his rival. The game is for
three hundred points.
Q. What are the salaries of the British
ambassador in the leading European cap
A At Rome, Paris, and before the war,
in Petrograd, Vienna, and Berlin, the sai-
aries of the British ENJOYS ranged from
S35, 600 to $4,000 per year. as COMPARED
with S1I,500 paid to the United States am
bassadors to the European capitals. The
American ambassadors are the poorest paid
OF any such diplomatic representatives. The
salaries of the German ambassadors range
from $4,000 to $37- 500. while those of the
French run from $4,000 to $4,000.

ILLEGAL TAXATION.

The decision of the United States
supreme court recently handed down,
in which it was held that stock divi-
may lead to the institution of suits
to recover other taxes. apparent
ly illegally collected. If the court be
sound in the reasoning by which it
arrived at the conclusion that a stock
dividend is not taxable under the in
come tax amendment to the constitu-
ton, then, it is being pointed out,
there are a lot of persons in the
United States. other than those who
paid income taxes unjustly. The
courts decision holds, among other
things, that stock dividends may be
taxed only after stockholders realize
upon them by sale. and it clinches it's
decision by saying: Nothing could
more clearly show that to tax a stock
dividend is to tax a capital increase
and not income than this demonstra-
ton that in the nature of things it re-
quires conversion of capital in order
to pay the tax
Many persons in the past five years
have been compelled to draw on their
capital in. order to pay income tax,
having suffered a net loss in business
transactions during the previous year.
1t has been held that where a man
engages in speculation and suffers
net losses by his speculations. he can
not charge off those losses against
gains in other lines of business. For
instance, if a man had a net income
of $4,000 on other lines of business.
but suffered a loss of $50 in spec
ulation. leaving him with a net loss
of $1,000 on his total business, he was
required to pay an income tax on his
$40, 900 gains Notwithstanding on the
years business he was worth $4,000
less than nothing. He had to draw on
his capital to pay his income tax.
It is also the ruling of income tax
officials that if a man have two pieces
of property for which he paid $4,000
each and sell one of them at a profit
Of $4,000 and the other at loss Of
$4,000. he must pay a tax on the
profit on the one but can not deduct
the loss on the other. In that case, If
a man had only two pieces of prop
erty and made $4,000 on one and lost
$4,000 on the other. he would have
no net income and would be obliged to
draw on his capital to pay the income
tax

THE GOLFERS SONG TO SPRING.
Let poets sing of daffodils and tulips and
the crocuses,
The green upon the budding trees, the
murmuring of the gentle breeze;
Let budding Homers twang their Tyres.
and sing the charm of gentle skies,
wish some rhymer would arise to ehortle
for the golfing guys; =. z
l want q poet now to dash lyric from
his ready pen,
And sing how good IT is to get your clubs
and shoot the pill again.
Forget the violets that bloom, forget the
nodding tulips, teo.
The green is on the fairway now, and, over
head the sky IS blue;
The bunkers now are raked and clean, the
ice has quit their caverns deep,
And there are pretty flags to flutter where
the breezes sweep:
oh, gladstone Spring, oh, glorious Sprin
oh. reason of delightful thrill
When man once more can call out s.Fore -
and swat the festive little Pill.
What cares the golfirg bug about the song
birds which are tuning up?
Tell him about the tikling sound Of golf
balls dropping in the cup,
Bid him TO hurry to the club and get his
knickerbockers out
For once again the time has come to swat
the little pill about:
The dreary winter now is done-tell him
20 quit the haunts of men;
Spring opens wide the links once more
it's time to be a nut again.

Mary Ryan flushed when I asked
her why she wanted to know il I had
seen Marion Hovey. but answered
promptly:

character and possibilities of his i'm
mortal spirit is to do honor and rev.
erence to the Almighty King and
Creator. Our hurried and practical"
times need to learn that even eternity
is not long enough for the adequate
recognition OF the Lord who made us
and loved US and brought US to life
by the Lamb.
Eastern churches abound in offices
of incense and lights to represent this
On Mount Sinai I found the Greek
monks of the monastery of st. Kath-
crime, who are so far out of touch
with civilized life that we were the
first strangers they had seen for half
q year, spending their lives chiefly in
holding services of worship. Five
hours a day they went thru their
ritual in the old church, rising at 2
o'clock in the morning to offer praise
and prayer. They had no congrega-
ton whatsoever, except themselves:
and they preached no sermons, but
only chanted and sang praises and
prayers to the timeless God, who had
once spoken to the race on that noun
tain.
The example has its message for
Campaigns and movements" we
may not fail to take time to do as the
redeemed do in heaven-worship the
Lamb that was slain. When we are
inclined to read book on religious
problems, let US turn instead to the
hymnal, wherein devout souls. from
twelfth century Bernard of Cluny on
ward to our own blind Fanny Crosby,
have voiced the deep desire of their
spirits for the heavenly contamination
which the Seer of Patmos pictured.
We shall then find ourselves singing,
with sanity Rutherford:
20 Christ, He is the fountain.
The deep, sweet Well Of love,
The streams on earth I've tasted
More deep I'll drink above:
There, to an ocean fulness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth,
In Emmanuers land"
