Tax on Bachelors.

The tax on bachelors has been more
or less of a joke in this country, but
it is far different in France where the
income tax is increased 80 per cent
for the unmarried adult, and where a
10 per cent increase is placed on the
childless family
One reason why such tax has not
received serious attention in this
country is because we base our levies
on the general property basis. Our
taxes are not scientific, in fact they
are just the opposite. They are not
based on ability to pay, and any other
basis is both unscientific and unjust.
1t is ability to pay that should be
the governing factor. No one can con
tend that the bachelor is not better
able to pay, other things being equal
than his married brother, or that the
childless family is not better able to
pay than the one which is blessed
with children.
Therefore instead of being joke
the bachelor tax is both scientific and
just Today our tax burdens are nct
equally distributed; there is little rea
relation between what man has tC
pay and what his abilities to pay are
Putting a tax on bachelors would no
correct the situation because it Il
wrong all the way through. But /
would help. It would be a start. W.
might we'll follow France in this re
gard-St. Adams Messenger.

Then, just as the ripples of water
roll away from the spot where the

throughout the reproducing membrane
recreating the original sounds, al
though in a reduced volume. The re-

causes the vibrations to follow each
other in their proper order.

There are few cases of more out
rageous injustice tc an American who
is American through and though
than was found in the utterance at
Joplin of the charge that Senator
Reed of Missouri at some time and in
some mysterious way "condoned' the
sinking of the Lusitania,
Apparently this absurdTty origi-
mated in factional malice at or about
the time of the Democratic conven-
tion of April 2. Who started it. and
why it was started, and in what form
it was started are matters of minor
consequence. The fact of consequence
is that it is absolutely false.
The record shows that in speeches
in the Senate and elsewhere Senator
Reed of Missouri has denounced over
and over again the crime of the as
sassins CT the l.usitania and de-
Inounced it with a fervor of indigna-
tion and a pathos of detail exceeded
by no other man who has ever spoken
on the subject He has done this not
merely a dozen times or score
of times but probably half a hun
dred times His attitude toward the
atrceity and the tone of his condemna
ton of the German perpetrators have
never varied. We quote two exam
pies, the first from a speech delivered
/ in Milwaukee soon after the hideous
event. and the second from a speech
he made in the Senate as recently as
November II, 1919:
These two extracts from Officially
recorded utterances by Senator ReeC
on the subject of the Lusitania ough
to be enough to convince any homes
mind Of the shameful wrong done hin
at Joplin. If not there is plent,
more evidence of the same non.oon
doning sort.
The false charge is the more out
rageous because it is directed agains

who helped to resist and cyerwheln

WHY OF THE pHoNocRAPH
How the Needle Receives Sound
Waves and Maunifles Sounds.

Few people know why it is possible
to reproduce the vocal or instrumental
art of a great artist with the faithfui
ness of the modern photograph, In
the first place, it should be remem-
bered that sound waves gradually
diminish in volume if released in a
large space of air, just as the ripples
caused by tossing q pebble into still
pool gradually become smaller
The record" consists Of one long
groove having indentations of varying
sizes IN it to represent the sound
waves to be reproduced These small
identations are either in the bottom
or sides of the groove At the begin.
ming and end of the groove there are
no indentaticns, as it is desirable to
have a space for the stylus to run in
until it can be removed from the rec.
ord, if finishing playing, and when
starting the record it is desirable to
place the stylus in the groove before
any of the fluctuations arc reached.
AS soon as the stylus or needle is
placed In the grove of the revolving
record only Slight kissing sound is
produced until the sound indentatons

ROMANTIC HOUR IN DESERT
Dawn the only Time When sordld-
ness Of the Country Is Hidden
From the Eye.

One day before sunrise we set out
from Rabat for the ruins of Roman
Volubills.
From the ferry OF the Bou-Regreg we
looked backward on last vision or
orange ramparts under night-blue
sky sprinkled with stars; ahead, over
gardens still deep In shadow. the walls
of Sale were passing from drab 10
peach color I'm the eastern glow. Dawn
is the romantic hour in Africa. Dirt
and dilapidation disappear under n
pearly haze. and breeze from the sea
blows away the memory of fetid mar
kets and sordid heaps Of humanity. At
that hour the old Moroccan cities look
like the ivory citadel in Persian min
iature and the fat -shopkeepers riding
out to their vegetable gardens Ike
princes sallying forth TO rescue cap
tive maidens.
Our road led along the high road
from Rabat to the modern port of Ke-
mira. near the ruins of the Phoeni-
clan colony of Mehedvia. Just north
of Kenitra we struck the trail, branch

circulated TO the effect that at last 1t
has been discovered. The advantages
which such a metal would have, espe-
cially for aircraft, are obvious. but un-
fortunately it is generally found on in

where. The latest report to be circu-

Unlucky Whale.

Loose mines bobbing in the water
hinted at the perils that were con-
stantly threatening our forces. In the
tense Imagination of the lookouts float
ing spars or other debris easily took
the form of periscOpes. Queer looking
sailing vessels at a distance aroused

rines in disguise. phosphorescent
trail in the water was sometimes mis-
taken for the wake of torpedo. The
cover of hatchway floating on the
surface If seen at a distance of few
hundred yards looked much like the
coming tower of submarine. while
the back of an occasional whale gave
a lifelike representation of U-boat
awash. in fact so lifelike that on one
occasion several of our submarine
chasers on the English coast dropped
depth charges on a whale and killed
it.-Admiral Sims, in the Worlds

Horse and Donkey Meat in Mexico.

The following from the Mexico cor
respondent of the Journal of the
American Medical Association is sug-
gestive of at least one way to lower
the cost of living:
Because of the scarcity and the
poor quality of the beef now on sale
or through eagerness to make money,
some people have been devot.ng them
selves surreptitiously to the slaughter
of donkeys, mules and horses. AS
some'of these people have been caught
and punished, they intend TO ask the
board of public health that they he
allowed to open slaughterhouse ex-
clusively for horses. The flesh of
these animals is not bad, and during
hard times we have eaten II here with
full knowledge of its origin. and it is
known that there is in Havana a So
ciety of horsemeat eaters. do not
