AMERICAN DAY.
National Security League Asks That
May 1 be Observed as American
Day.

The first day of May has had vari-
ed suggestions. Years ago May Day
was picturesque rural festival
when children sought flowers, and
pretty girls dressed up as Queen OF
the May.
Then 1t became Moving Day in
cities, when the renter packed his
pots and pans on the moving van,
seeking better quarters, and usually
jumped from frying pan into fire.
AS the world has moved on and
modern economic life taken on more
intense and passionate forms, May
Day has become day for industrial
and Socialistic demonstrations, parti-
cularly in Europe.
This country has free and demo-
cratic life, and opportunity for OPP
pressed elements to make their power
felt through lawful channels. Hence
May Day demonstrations have not
been serious. Still in present dis
turbed conditions, there will be at
tempts to use the occasion to pro-
mote revolutionary sentiment.
The National Security League has
asked patriotic people to observe
May 1 this year as American Day.
Parades are to be held as demonstra-
tions of loyal spirit.
The word America conveys thrill
and sense of achievement and hope.
1t stands for humanitarian progress
for the open door of opportunity
for all, for justice and the square
deal. 1t believes that American prin-
oiples will solve the difficulties of
the times, and right human wrongs,
through lawful and constitutj hal
methods. 1t desires &c Ike all
those whose impatierr and vision
airy theories W ii plunge the
country into anarchy, and overthrow
the projections which law and order
alone can throw about the weak and
defenceless.

New York, July Special )-The
 solidarity of the two major political
 parties seems to be assured by Mir. Bryan's action in declining to run for President on the proh bition ticket and Mr. Harding's tranquilizing speech. The political news of the week has no im- mediate bearing upon business other- wise.
 Crop reports continue encouraging. Reflecting the expectation of a suffi- ciency, corn and wheat are both lower, though they have recovered part of the decline recorded earlier in the week. July cotton, which is cornered, has sold at 43.75c. This is the highest price of the last fifty years or more. but it is artificial. New crop deliveries have been relatively weak. at from 30 to 33 cents per pound. There are many who believe that cotton, in common with most other commodities. has seen the | peak of the war rise.

FLOOD OF INCOME TAXES
$11,oo0,ooo Paid Government Here
for Third Quarter

Approximately S11 ZOO, 600 has been
paid to the Government in income taxes
for the third quarter, which ends today.
The cashiers office, Room 202, on the
second floor of the Federal Building,
Ninth and Chestnut streets, was open
until o'clock last night. Ephraim
Lederer, collector of internal revenue,
has arranged to have the Office open
until 10 o'clock tonight for the accom-
modation of those who wait until the
last minute.
Yesterday mornings mail brought
more than 1000 checks to the collector $
office. "Taxables." said Mr.. Lederer
yesterday, "are taking advantage OF the
mail and sending checks, thereby saving
time caused by waiting in line. Besides
the checks serve rs a receipt. More
taxes have been paid by checks this
quarter than any time in my term of
Office
1.-The largest amounts, however, will
not be paid until today said Mr.. Led
erer, because the big corporations and
heavy individual taxpayers delay until
the last day, to save interest.
Approximately 10000 payments have
been made on 36. 900 tax bills mailed.
In many instances taxables are making
their final payments this quarter, which
will reduce the total figures for the
close of the fiscal year.
Mr.. Lederer said that he expected
by tonight that virtually all payments
due this quarter would be made. He
does not expect the collection Of any
great amount of tax with penalty added.

Swirls of tobacco smoke in a polling

Loeb. but when the registrars act as
though women were unwelcome in
truders, then something should be done
at once.
That was the complaint brought by
Mrs. Loeb to the Mayors office today.
She is member Of the Republican
state committees advisory board and
lives in the Majestic Hotel in the eighth
division Of the Twentieth ward.
II went to the polling place yester-
day., Mrs. Loeb told Durrell Shuster,
the Mayors secretary. I"I found that
the registrars had the names of women
almost hopelessly mixed.
The place was reeking with tobacco
smoke and some Of the men used OBJ
jectionable language. The women had
to stand while being registered.
Many of the women on the assessor S
book had been listed under their hus-
bands name with the prefix, Mrs.
When they called to register the regis
trars were as disagreeable as they could
be about 1t.

complained yesterday to the registration
commissioners who sent an inspector up
