q Republican Congress sat idle under the
Administrations repeated appeals for a
timely tax revision. But there is no blink
ing the fact that war, whenever it comes,
lays heavy hand on peoples earnings
and piles up debts which are long years, If
not generations, in being paid. No Ameri-
can worthy the name begrudges one penny
OF what it took to defeat Prussanism s
black adventure; we might have spent a
thousandfold more and still have counted
the cost as nothing beside the gain for free
dom and honor and right. But that in no
wise lessons the Importance of America g

powerful nation of this day to prevent re-
currence of treasure-sapping, life-destroying,

herself to that end, if her influence is not
Joined to that of other enlightened, liberty
loving nations in the cause of justice and

half times over in the last six years, may

UNCOMMON SENSE
Learn the Best Way to Do Your Work
BY JOHN BLAKE.

Learn the Best Way to Do Your Work
Because a thing has been done a certain
way for hundred or thousand years does
not mean that it is necessarily the right way.
Vessels had been driven by wind power
since the days Of the Phoenicans, and even
after steam was applied to navigation there
were hundreds of ship owners who insisted
on clinging to the oId-fashioned sails.
In many offices and factories you will find
the same methods employed that have been
employed for a hundred years, because these
methods brought success in the past.
But the world is moving along, ana the
man who does not keep up with it might
as we'll quit.
Big modern industrial institutions keep
hundreds of men at work discovering new
methods of doing things. The result is that
they are constantly increasing their output
and lowering the costs of manufacture.
If you will find out h"Nv other men are
doing the same work you are doing. you
Will be vastly nelped.
If you, are in business, subscribe for and
read carefully the trade paper that deals
Read all the modern books you can find
which deal with it.
Find out who are the best men in the
same line. Get acquainted with them II you
can. If you can't, get acquainted with peo-
pie who know them and learn what their
working methods are
The more you know about every branch
of your business the better chance you will
have of making progress in IT.
Examine your own methods of work. Com
pare them with Other methods and discard
them if the other methods better
Do not regard your way Of doing things
as best 1t may be the best, but you can't
be sure of it till you have tested all others.

THAT is an eminently deserved tribute
which President Hastings, of the
Southeastern Fair Association, pays
the Fulton County Commissioners for the
part they have played in the making Of the
great exposition Had it not been for
their loyal and whoehearted support for the
last five years." he writes, "our Fair would
still be on practically county Fair basis. "
A liberal appropriation to the fund with
which the enterprise was launched was but
the beginning of the Commissioners valuable
aid From year to year they have contrib
uted labor, machinery and sustainment with
out which the Lakewood grounds and ap-
proaches could never have been brought to
their present developments or the Fair have
become so potent and far-reachlng an influ-
ence of Georgia AMI the Southeast.
Their policy in this matter is characteristic
of the Commissions attitude toward opportu-
mites for promoting the common welfare OF
city, county and State They have the breadth
of view to see that the interests of Fulton
county and of Atlanta are so vitality inter
woven that service to the one is serv-
ice to the other. and that both de-
pend for the largest prosperity upon
the upbuilding Of the Commonwealth
and the South. The entire community joins
the officials and directors of the Fair in high
and hearty appreciation of the Commission
in others devoted to the public good. 1t is
cooperation in this spirit that will develop
our resources most speedily and most fruit
fully. May it continue to grow in the hearts
and hands of all officials and all citizens.

Hov War Increases Taxes

r is a far flight from a tax rate OF
six dollars and seventy-nine cents per
capita to one of forty-nine dollars and
forty-one cents The former was the aver
age in the United States on June 80, 1914;
the latter, on June 80, 1920. We are not
alone, however, in multiplied tax costs in
cident to the war. Great Britain's rate has
grown during the same six years from
seventeen dollars and twenty-one cents to
seventy-eight dollars. Indeed, every belliger-
ent nation has undergone heavy increases
on this score, with one except1on-and
that curiously enough, is Germany. In her
case, although the tax levy in marks was
fifteen times greater this year than in
1913, the net result in gold, which is the
standard for international comparisons, is
smaller than before the war. And the ap-
praisors add that inasmuch as Germanys
huge indemnities are payable in gold, lit
is difficult to see how they can be real
lied out of the present taxes, even sup
posing the German Government capable OF
collecting Them
In giving out the official figures COM
piled by it's investigators of this matter the
British Treasury notes that the comparl-
son of the rates in the several nations can
be only approximate because their fiscal
years end differently and because, too,
there are inequalities in local taxation.
There is also some difficulty in reducing
the various foreign denominations to terms
of dollars; in the plan adopted pre-war
figures were taken at par exchange and
postwar figures at the rate prevalent at the
end of the fiscal year in question, or, if
future dates were involved, at the existing
rate.
BY this method, applied to the most
accurate data procurable from the nations
concerned, the following results showing
the average per capita taxes have been
arrived at:

A Polish woman soldier who took part

A BIG TOOTH

A tooth of a mammoth, weighing about ten
pounds, was recently found protrudng from
the bank of a creek in Arkansas. The tooth
had roots like a cottonwood tree. This is
the first mammoth's tooth found in Arkan-
sas in thirty or more years.
The mammoth was a species of elephants
which ranged over the earth when most of
what we now call the temperate zone was
covered with glaciers. The mammoth had
long white tusks and enormous teeth. The
animal was covered with heavy, furry coat
to protect it from the cold.

Miss McCo1l, a Republican, won the

the office. She has been deputy treasurer
for twelve years. Election to her means
