Snuff Replaces Booze
At Banquet in Boston;
Coolidge Takes Pinch

BOSTON, Dec. 1.-The cup that
cheers was replaced by the snuff
that exhilirates. when the Scots chari-
table society revived an old custom
at its annual banquet last night to
take the place of anti-prohibition
toasts Scotch snuff from a silver
mounted rams horn, was passed
about the tables.
First to take a cautious pinch was
Governor Calvin Coolidge. vice presi-
dent-elect, who was the chief guest.
From him the horn went down the
banquet board. Sneezes followed,
and handkerchiefs were quite gen.
orally displayed.
Soon afterward Professor Charlton
Black. of Boston university, related
an anecdote directed to Respondent
victims of the eighteenth amendment
1t was the warning of an old Scotch
man to his son against too liberal
use of snuff, with the statement
that 1--WE been drunken on sneezum
than 1 ever was on whuskey." The
guests sneezed again, and then the
sneakers had their saw.

PRESIDENT WILSON
ROLE Of MEDIATOR
IN ARMENIAN CASE
Lithuanian Armis tice Ar
ranged By League of Ma
tions-Japs Not to Seek
Social Equality at Present

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30-(By the
| Associated Press).-President Will
son has accepted the invitation of the
League of Nations to act as mediator
in the Armenian situation.
The presidents acceptance is con-
ditioned upon the use of moral in
fuence. He explained that he is
without authority to employ force
without the consent of congress.
The invitation to mediate between
the factions in Armenia was extended
to the president last week through
Paul Hymans, president of the league
| assembly. Mr.. Wilson already has
consented to fix the boundary lines of
Armenia and he now has before him
several reports on that subject. There
had been no Indication, however
| when he will complete this work.
The presidents reply follows:
1 have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your cabled
message setting forth the reso-
luton by the assembly Of the
League of Nations requesting the
at an understanding with the
government with view to in
trusting a power with the task
of taking the necessary measures
to stop the hostilities in Ar
| menia.
| You offer to the United States
the opportunity of undertaking
the humanitarian task of using
. it's good offices to end the pres
end tragedy being enacted in
Armenia and you assure me that
your proposal involves no repe-
tition of the invitation to accept
mandate for Armenia.
While the invitation to accept
mandate for Armenia has been
rejected by the senate of the
United States, this country has
repeatedly declared it's solicit
tude for the fate and welfare of
the Armenian people in a manner
and to an extent that justifies
you in saying that the fate Of
Armenia has always been above
special interest to the American
people.
am without authorization to
offer or employ the military
i forces of the United States in
any project for the relief of Ar
= menia and any material contri-
buttons would require the au-
: thorization of the congress which
is not now in session and whose
action l could not forecast. l
am willing. however, upon as
surances of the moral and dip
lomatic support of the principal
powers and in a spirit of sympa-
thetic response to the request of
the council of the League of
Nations to use my good offices
and to proffer my personal medi-
alton through a representative
whom / may designate, to end
the hostilities now being waged
against the Armenian people and
to bring peace and accord to the
contending parties, relying upon
the council of the League of Ma
tions to suggest to me the ave-
nues through which my proffer
should be conveyed and the

New Orleans.-The Southern Pine Association has started the dissendina- tion of information on ''How We Can Build Now in an effort to remedy the acute housing shortage reported from every part of the nation.
 A booklet, Housing Plans for Cit ies," containing vast quantity of valuable information along building lines has been printed by the depart ment and is being distributed to boards of trade, chambers of com meree, l5braries, corporations, banks, building and loan associations, city lumber dealers, architects, engineers and others interested throughout the country. The booklet tells it's story and disseminates it's Information in "a manner which makes it possible for the layn1an as we'll as tbhe professional builders to understand.

not permit us to deduct from our in come tax meals and lodging when away on a purely business trip. The spending of money on the road is done in pursuit of business, and, if filed under affidavit it should be de ducted as expenses"
 The general case which National Secretary Leo K Fishell asked a rul- ing on by the commissioner of per sonal income tax was worded as fol lows:
 "A salesman who makes a contract with his firm which calls for a cer- tain per cent of his gross sales, but who receives for his living expenses q certain amount besides his neces- sary travelling expenses, finds at the end of the year that he has sold $100,- 900 worth of merchandise at per cent commission. He has drawn dur ing the year for his personal living $2,500 and has received for his ex- penses while on the road, which in cludes everything, such as meals, rail road fare, etc, $1.5OO, which makes a total of s4,o0O He then receives the difference between $4,O00 and $5.0oO, which is $1000
 Under this condition, as you will readily see, this man has spent $1.50O to make an income of net $3,500. Surely under a contract of this kind the man should be permitted to de duct from his income tax $1 ,5OO, which should be classed as business ex- Ipense. Willie it is true that this man used part of this for meals and lodg- ing when on the road, at the same time his expense, such as the upkeep of his home, continued at the same Itflme"

could be no broad general dSge,on. ment of the people of the S0ath mil there was 3 larger profit ta the cotton producer. In view of the efforts which are being made to break down the prices of commodities and to de fate bushes sand to lessen commer- eial credits now under way, the cot ton grower vii. once more be handf capped, and Cotton buyer and the cot ton speeesator will have the upper hand, e@less the cotton growers stand togetser and hold their cotton regard less of the power of the financial and nanufacturing interests.
 "The curtaiiment of credit by the Federal Reserve Board Is one of the tremendous influences at work calcu. lated to break down the price of cot ton. It is, therefore, especially inn portant that the cotton growers should this year work in harmony and with hold their cotton from the market ex- cept as they may feed it out from llonth to month to meet the actual needs of the worlds mills. To dump the cotton crop on the market during the first two or three months of the year as was formerly done, is an eco- n0rnica1ly false system and inevitably results in breaking the price to the loss of the producer, but to the lbene- fit of the buyer Cotton producers should this year withhold their cc9tton from the market except as their own Financial needs may require them to sell. If fn debt they may ffhd it nee ] legsary and wise to sell off to meet protect with Sacred care the 9onoi tjiHe 5ai his financial obligations. But I be lieve that when their obligations have been paid off it would be far better for the farmers of the South to deter mine not to do any buying of any kind of things which they can do without except as they sell their cotton later in the season. A curtailment of buy ing by the Southern cotton grower will strengthen his financial situation and help the South to get for it's cot ton a price commensurae with the cost of production.
 "As there is no moral obligation resting upon any individual farmer in he South to raise cotton if he can raise something else to larger fnan- cial profit, so there is no moral obli- gation whatever resting upon him to sell his cotton except as the price jus. tifies him in doing it for his own ben eft. Because a man has farm which is advancing in value, or any other piece of property which is advancing in value because of the demand for it., and refuses to sell merely to accomo- date other people, so there is no req son why the farmer should sell his
