NEW TAX PLAN FOR ITALY
is CRITICISED AT ROME
Proposed Law Is Held as Menace
to Foreign Capital Which Is
Claimed to Be Needed Just Now.

ROME. March I Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-A tax would
be imposed on property in Italy owned
by foreigners not living in this coun-
try under the proposed new taxation
and finance law, which the govern
ment has laid before the. chamber of
deputies. This tax also would apply
to Italy's stocks which such foreign
ers may hold.
Any money owed abroad by Italian
subjects or companies also would be
heavily taxed. Subscribers to the
loan of 1920 and capital brought into
Italy after January 1 of this year
would, however, be exempt from taxa
ton.
The proposed tax on Italian stocks
and shares held abroad is criticised
by the financial expert Of the Tribuna
as unjust on the ground that this
property already pays an income tax
in the country where the owner is
living. The paper points out that
such tax would be likely to dis
courage entrance of foreign capital
into this country, which is SO neces-
sary for Italy at this moment.

MOTOR TRUCK INDUSTRY AIDED
BY STANDARD COSTS SYSTEM
After Many Years of Awkward Compila-

The term on-mile slid glibly from
many tongues, and yet nowhere was
there agreement as to just what this
term meant or how it should be fig

Cost Research Impcded.
Besides this confusion Of tongues
cost research has been impeded by re-
luctance on the part of many opera

only through free interchange of ex-

Fortunately this attitude is chang

universal system of motor truck ac-

BY means of a series of truck own
ers' conferences, held in a dozen or
more of the principal cities of the
country during the last year and
half, the national standard cost sys-
tenn for motor trucks has been COM
piled and distributed to the operators
of thousands of motor trucks In al
parts of the country. Truck and tire
manufacturers have discarded their
own systems and adopted the natlonai
standard system. Newspapers ana
magazines throughout the country
have published articles about the sys-

standard forms. is coming into mead
quarters of the truck owners con-

Idens of Many Experts.
One may quite naturally wonder
how this newest of standard systems
differs from its ill-starred predeces-
sors and for what cause 1t has sue
ceeded on the graves of their failure.
Primarily, its success is based upon
the fact that It originated in a con-
ference representing the ideas of
many experts with many points of
view.

enterprise. but merely as service TO
operators of motor trucks and lS as

DATA IN ANCIENT ART
ON CARE OF THE YOUNG
DR.. John Foote Discloses Methods
Adopted for Children OF
Bygone Civilizations.

NEW YORK, March 2T (SpeciaD---
Ancient art furnishes to the modern
world veritable encyclopedia of in
playing and training of children OF
bygone civilizations. according to Dr.
John Foote of Washington, d. c., who
spoke Thursday before the section
on diseases of children of the Ne"
York State Medical Society, at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
"We learn much from the toys OF
Egypt 5000 years ago-the me
chanical crocodile whose jaws snap
when a string is puller, the man
kneading bread and the spotted cow.
said DR.. F'oote. "We learn that
ancient Greek children spun tops
played ball and See-Saw, rolled hoops
and had clay dolls, which were I'm
provements on the wooden Egyptian
dolls with clay-bead hair. And we
know that the dolls of Babylon were
made of alabaster."
In connection with his address. DR.
Foote showed more than 125 copies
of painting and sculpture, copies OF
old manuscripts from European mu-
seums and photographs from the col
lection of the National Geographic
Society.
Nursing bottles, according to DR.
Foote, were used in Alexandria
Egypt. and in Gallo Rome.

LONDON. March 8 Correspondence

Queen Victoria of England to an
Ashanti chfeftair and used by him as

midst of Jungle far from human
habitation in the Gold Coast colony
West Africa. According to native

In their superstition they believe he

A Gold Coast surveyor first STUN

since motor trucks are purchased
primarily to reduce hauling costs, the
layman is justified in hoping to find
very definite data on operating cost
upon inquiry among manufacturers
which use them. Almost the frs,
question of the prospective purchaser
is about the cost of operation.
tnqueStionably more has been
written about the operating economy
of motor trucks than any other one
subject involved The manufacture
and sale of commercial motor vehicles
has been pursued as an industry for
more than twenty years. yet there Is
no vital subject concerned with mo-
tor transport regarding which so lit
tie is known.
Perhaps one reason for this is that
the economy of motor transportation
is so obvious and the Sloth of horse
transportation so intolerable that
operating cost has not been a deter
mining consideration, but the fact
remains that operating motor trucks
is a business and worthy of as close
study by users as any other enter
prise in which an equal amount OF
capital is invested.
Study of Costs.
Not that the subject of cost ac-
counting has been altogether neglect
ed, for ever since the trucks incep-
tfon certai in numbers of students have
diligently studied costs. Scores of So
called cost systems have been spread
broadcast. Some originators printed
them for distribution gratis and scat

Others compiled elaborate outfits
