Trutona has done me more good than

Composed of some of the most ef.

not invent the art Of engraving in
mezzotint, having it is stated, obtained
the secret from a German oficer, Lud-
wig Won Siegen,. yet without doubt, he
improved the mechanical mode OF the
art, which he described and illustrated
for the royal society Of London in
1862, after he had completed several
interesting engravings on the new
principle. One Of the most beautiful
and valuable Of early mezzotints is
Rupert's Head of st. John the
Baptist"
Included in the reproductions of
famous portraits which form part of
the portrait exhibit now being held at
the Public Art Gallery, are several
meZzotints, four by Reynolds and one
by Gainsborough. These mezzotints
are among the most delightful of the
pictures that are displayed in the
exhibition.
AS has been observed "the engraver
is to the painter what the translator
is to the author" and as engraving in
mezzotint is said to approach more

any other species, so IL one cannot
view the original painting, one can
enjoy true and lovely copy.

Excess aud Surtax Substitutes

/ Secretary Houston's statement of treasury
necessities and policy leaves at option how taxes
shall be levied, but none about the total to be
paid" says the New York Times.
!; "The treasury will need all it is getting until
at least the floating debt and the Victory notes
are paid or funded. On one point the country s
mind is made up-substitutes must be found for
the excess profits tax and the surtaxes. They
are so severe that they defeat their purpose re-
garding revenue, and are injurious to business
and investment. The declaration of the American
Bankers association leaves doubt about that
class of opinion. Not less convincing is the re-
suit of the referendum among 1000 business
men. Repeal of the excess profits tax was
favored by over 70 per cent, and the sales tax as
substitute was favored by IS per cent. And
yet the committee appointed to consider taxation
on behalf of that section of opinion brings in a
report of a different nature. The report Of the
committee, of the National Industrial Tax Con-
ference proposes IL taxes to take the place of
the sales tax as substitute for the excessprofits
tax.
1.-THE dozen taxes are familiar and have
worked well here and in foreign countries. The
objection to levying IL taxes instead of one is
obvious Multifarious taxes expensive and
troublesome to collect, and are irritating to the
taxpayer If the votes were taken among those
who would pay the IL taxes, it is likely that the

rarely seen without cheer running all

Comiskey is the most famous and
popular man who ever managed a
baseball club. He is the owner OF the
Chicago white Sox". He has more
championship flags to his credit than
snv other club owner in the business,
l believe.
But the great thing about this man
Comiskey is that his idea of sport and
honor is as white as his~hair. And
his treatment of the boys who have
helped to bring him fame is just as
white.
When the news that some of his
PLAYERS had gone wrong came to ms
attention, he insisted that they were
square. But stated that If 1T was
proved they were not, he would drive
them from baseball forever, no matter
what the cost.
AS all the world now knows, Comis-
keys great heart was rent when the
boys he had so royalty trusted, con-
fessed that they had coldly betrayed
him.
It meant a quarter of million dol
lars loss to Comiskey to let these play
ers go. But he kept his word and
purged his team. The ones who STOOD
square, however, he rewarded with
individual gifts amounting to what
thew would have received had their
team mates been honest.
Never has a nobler figure honored
any sport than Comiskey!
Baseball Is the greatest sport in the
world--and the fine character and
example of Comiskey, towering above
its Temporary loss in prestige, will give
it a new lease on life and assure every
one of the boys on the sand lots
that their game cannot die.

Answers to Questions

W. s. D.-Where is the island
Known as THE Sailors Grave" be-
cause of the many wrecks that have
occurred there?
The island so-called is a low lying
crescent shaped piece of land in the
Atlantic Ocean, 104 miles southeast
OF Cape Canso, off the central coast of
Nova Scotia. 1t is formed Of sand
hills thrown up by the sea. These
sand hills surround a shallow lagoon
IL miles long, and at no point rise to a
greater height than so feet. The is
land is known as Sable Island, and
from either extremity sand bars ex-
tend 20 miles and are constant men,
ace to ships. There is no harbor on
the island and scrubby grass and cram
berries form the only native vegeta-
ton. The Canadian Government has
since 1873 built three lighthouses on
the island with an establishment of
about 80 persons. Two of the light
houses have been swept away and the
third undermined, at the island seems
to be gradually sinking; while in 1910
1t was 40 miles long, it is now but 20
i miles in length and one mile wide. It
lies in the track of navigation be-
tween America and Great Britain. AS
es away the shores, in 1901 the Cana
dian Government completed arrange
ments for checking the shifting sands
and for making it more conspicuous
feature by planting $4,000 trees. Up to
1915 more than 200 ships are known
to have been wrecked there, and 1t is
because of these numerous disasters
that the island has earned the name
of the Sailors Grave"
Old Reader-Please tell me who
wrote the Garibaldi hymn, the popular
patriotic song of the Italian people.
The words of the Garibaldi hymn
were written in 1858 at the direct
personal request of Giuseppe Garibaldi,
the famous liberator, by the poet
Luigi Mercantini, a native Of Ripatra-
some, Italy. The music was written by
the military bandmaster, Alissio Oil
vieri, a well known composer of Italy.
The anthem was first sung by the
volunteers Of the Alpine Chasseurs
Brigade, and its popularity dates from
the world-famed campaign of 1860.

do not represent payments account of any
twelve months. Of the $685., 701,374 reported
as collected in 1920, more than two billions was
paid on account of 1918 business. The difference
was due to the privilege of quarterly payments
and to closer collection of arrears. The surplus
due to the income and profits taxes relates to
1913, when incomes and profits were larger than
in 1919 and still larger than they will be in 1920
