Black and Tans Are Combination
 Of ConstabuIary
 And Army Men
BY GIBSON GARDNER N. E. A. Staf Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4-The black | and tans" who are mentioned so often | in reports of doings in Ireland were | the subject of questions by members of the special committee Investigating charges of British trocities in Ireland.
 Francis Hackett witness, explained that the so-called black and tans' get their name from the fact that they wear the black trimmings of the Royal Irish constabulary with the tan or khaki uniform of the eX-army man.
 These men are nominaily auxiliary police. They have been sent over from England to supplement the constaou- Iary. The latter, having been in Ire land for many years. were believed to have gone over to the cause of the Irish republic.
 In order, therefore. to, stiffen the British influence in the force, the Brit ish government enlisted these special men, mostly ex-army men and some men with a criminal record, and sent them to Ireland, each with the rank of sergeant This makes them superior | in authority to the old Irish constabu- | lary, which fact incidentally has pro- duced much hard feeling.
 The black and tans draw a pound 1 day to which Is shillings is added if ! they are serving in disturbed areas. So the black and tam is accused of keeping his area disturbed"
 Hackett informed the Investigating l commission that many of these men lin his judgment would do anything from murder and arson down or up. Similar testimony given before the commission seemed to justify this charge.
 It was all a narrowing ,gruesome tale, but there are dramatic episodes that stand out with the vividness of pictures taken by flashes of lightning. There is one in the testimony of Mrs. King, a school teacher of Irontown, To-, who was traveling/i in Ireland to visit the birthplace of her mother. She got the story from the mother of the boy killed the day after it happened.
 Tn one of the raids conducted by the black and tans the later appeared al the door of a workingmans little cot tage. It was evening and in response
 to the bangings on the door, an old
 woman appeared with a candle in hei
 hand. She was pushed aside by tht

 stairway carrying electric flashlights
 and drawn revolvers. The only othei
 occupant of the house was a hunch.

 The black and tans rushed upstair:
 and discovered the hunch- backed bo!
 in one of the bedrooms. He was or
 the bed in an attitude of prayer. On,
 of the police fired a bullet which wen
 through the boys hands and face kill
 ing him instantly.
 It is not denied that there have beei
 killings of the police by representative
 of the Sim Fein government.
 In a guarded way. the witnesses ex plained that the killings of police, o B which the British government com 1, plains so bitterly, were decided upo a by the Sim Fein government afte . careful deliberation. and as a last des .

 Break Even in Games with Ray
 The basketball teams from the high school went to Ray last Saturday night and split the honors 50--50 with the copper town folks. The girls team won over their smaller opponents in a walk away game by a score of 14-2. The miner lads, however, upset the dope by running up a 20-16 score against the Florence team. The game was fast and well conducted by Pro- lessor Carpenter of Phoenix nigh. Af- ter the games the visitors were treated to feed and dance.

few months back none of we retailers dreamed that we would be forced to sell our stocks at such a tremendous loss. Everybody knew that sooner or later the drop in clothing prices would come but the great event was not looked for until the spring of 1921. Manufacturers furnished data and wrote letters which convinced us all that there | was not a chance for a radical | change in the clothing market l believed and was convinced that such was the status and bought heavily for the coming season This year 1 bought heavier than usual thinking that my orders would not all be filled. When saw the pend ing fall in prices I cancelled a mum Der of my orders but in a great number of cases this was fmpos- sible. At the beginning of' the fall season my stock was the largest in the history of Hyder Bros store and you will remember that i'm rnediately started cutting prices Right at the beginning of the sea son I sold fall and winter clothing at a 20Go discount.
 At the announcement of my first 2OGo discount the public responded HberaI1y. Many people had been putting off the purchase of new clothing untffa noticeable reduction was made. My reduction was just what they had been waiting for and my customers and friends were well | pleased with the values offered l Doing business during this period of readiustment There never was a proposition. There never was man living who really liked to lose | money but there are thousands of business men today who are 'learn- | ing to like it." I am one step ahead of these thousands--I learned" to like 1t several months ago and now am real happy. The condition was coming. that we all knew. Now that it Is here we have to face it. | Hyder Brothers store is usually just a little bit ahead of the rest of the field. When I announce to YOU that my entire line of clothing is now to be sacrificed at & dis conut of 4095 I feel that Hyder Brothers is miles ahead of the clothing field.
 The people of the United States have forced clothing down. Where the average man formerly bought four and five suits per year he cut 1t down to one or two, had his old clothes repaired and made them do." This was not an organized movement but just the result of a lot of common sense on the part of everybody. Nothing will make merchants sell articles cheap quick CT than to have a large supply on hand with nobody buying. l am clad to see this condition because it will bring the manufacturer. down to earth. In fact they arc there right now, even though they won't admit it.
 Tn the meantime-we merchants must take our medicine and sel clothing at a loss. Good clothtns can now be purchased at my store at astoundingly low prices. All ask is that you come in and see foI yourself. I know my merchandis' and l believe in it. When l tel you that I am offering real honest to- goodness values ] mean it. M. merchandise is marked in plaii figures-no eleventh hour work.

that is, he had been tried by a secret Sim Fein court and testimony had been taken showing that he was guilty of some crime. some uncalled for bru tality and that he ought to be exc cuted.
 The commission was told by most of the witnesses that conditions aFe be- coming daily worse in Ireland; that the railroads are being gradually checked in their operations by the gov ernment: and that famine is the next threat for the country. This, it is be- lieved, will set the stage for general massacre.

Analysis of the 1919 income tax re- turns has proceeded far enough to permit the announcement that there are 20,e00 millionaires in the United States, with a family population of 50,000, or one to each 2100 population. In 1917 there were but 16,0o0 the bulk of the increase of 4000 being attrib- uted to war fortunes. But not all of the 10000 may actually have a mil Hon. The conclusion was reached by the number of persons acknowledging an income of at least s50,000, the low est probable return on a million. There are salaried executives receiv- ing S50,O00 or more who may not have accumulated anything like a million.
 Nearly 16,000 of the 10000 confessed incomes ranging from $50,000 to $780, 900; 90 from that to a million a year, and 162 had over a million income, where there were only Al in TIT.
 Approximately 4,000,000 heads of families filed income tax reports, but at least half of these represented families whose annual income was s2000 or less.
 The figures are presented by the in- ternal revenue office for informations s sake What they may be twisted to mean will depend upon the individual bent of the commentator One point of view that may be overlooked is that with the 30 per cent purchasing power of the dollar the bulk of these milionaires may be only half million aires at that. On the same way of fig uring there would appear to be 2,O0O,- | 900 heads of families struggling with incomes worth 5000 or less-Pitts- burg Dispatch.

Il Was Awful Old.

A man entered a store one cold Bit
ter day and bought woolen mufi1er.
When he opened the muffller he found
inside it the photograph Of a beauti-
full girl, together with note saying:
eff you are single please write to
me-"
A name and address followed and
the man smiled. He was single and
he put the photograph on his sitting
room mantel. There, every evening,
looking up from his book, he beheld
it. 1t was very beautiful and he had
soon fallen in love with her.
So he wrote to the egirl. Another
week passed, a week of anxious sus-
pense passed. Then the homesick
man received this crushing letter:
"Sir: The Mary Smith to whom you
wrote was my grandmother. She
died nine years ago at ripe age.
Yours truly
Our heart-broken man, on looking
into this strange matter found that
he foolishly bought the muffier from
merchant who did not advertise.
