Paws Taxes on the Smell.

Louisville, Ky.-The Bernheim Dis
tilling company thinks it's going bit
too far to tax it for the smell in it's
empty whisky barrels. But the gov
eminent has already collected $4,000
and is fighting a suit of the distilling
company to recover it. The govern
ment alleges the company poured boil
ing water into empty whisky barrels
with nothing but the smell left, and
then evaporated the water, securing
large quantity of alcohol.

MILLION ALIENS
COMING IN 1921.
Federal Officials Base Their EST.
mates on Figures for Fiscal
Year Ended Last June.
influx GREATLY INCREASING
Statistics Disclose a Notable Shifting
of the Sources Whence Come the
New ArrivaIs-Mexico and Can
ada Furnish Labor.

WaShngtOn.-An immigration Of
100000 or more in 1921 is the esti-
mate of federal officials, based on fig
ures for the fiscal year ended June
80 last. which have Just been issued.
/ Although three months behind the tide
of aliens, which has been mounting
at a prOdigiOuS rate since late III the
spring, the statistics disclose many sig
nificant tendencies. There has been
notable shifting of tire sources whence
come the. new arrivals.
SO far as net increase in population
and the repleniShment of the labor
market are concerned, the year ending
in June witnessed a greater movement
from America to Europe than from
Europe to America, just as careful
observers had estimated. The total
immigration from all foreign lands
was 10000, and the emigration was
2SS,315. The bulk of this increase
in population. however, came from
Mexico and Canada, labor which cross
ed the border.
America Lost 10000.
Aliens coming from Europe num-
bered 246295; those going back to
Europe 256.4 33. or a loss of 10000,
Before the war about So per cent of
our immigration came from Europe,
but in 1920 it was only 81 per cent.
! Since June however, the rush had car
ried it back, and officials estimate it
is again now riding at the 50 per cent
mark
At present the Mediterranean zone
! is sending perhaps 70 to so per cent
of the arrivals at Ellis island-Italy
, alone sending about One-half of all
newcomers. Russia and the old Aus
! tria- Hungary, which before the war
were sending annually more than a
| quarter of q million immigrants each,
are isolated from the migratory move
ment and the sources have swung
back where they were years ago,
In 1920 Italy, including Sicily and
| Sardinia, sent over 95,145, the largest
contributor-S90 900 went back Eng
| land comes next, sending 27S71, or
about so per cent Of its prewar aver
age.
Record British Arrivals.
One table by races places the Eng
| lish immigration in 1920 at 58,366,
which is the largest recorded in the
last % years, or since figures for races
were kept, but Of this 10000 came
| from Canada.
Another surprising feature is that
| Spain ranked third, sending 1881,
which was three times as many as it
was sending before the war. Portugal
came next with 1912 which was
more than it sent in 1913 and so per
cent more than in 1912 France in
| 1920, too, sent S,945, which was about
equal to preWar days, for in 1913 it
sent 9,675.

Motor Alcohol From MoIasses.

"Motor alcohol" a substitute for
gasoline, made from molasses on the
Hawaiian sugar plantations, which
has been allowed to run to waste or
burned for the recovery of potash, is
a new automobile fuel which it is said
gives more power, greater mileage,
easier starting, and more freedom
from carbon than gasoline. Hawaii
has molasses enough available to pro-
duce 100000 gallons of motor al

PANSY WRITES

Catch the sunshine! tho life's tempest
Thru a dark and dismal cloud,
Tho it falls so faint and feeble on a
Heart with serious bound.
Catch it quickly; 1t is passing,
Passing rapidly away;
1t has only come to tell you there is
Yet brighter day.
Catchthe sunshine! tho life's tempest
May unfurl it's chilling blast,
Catch the little, hopeful straggler;
Storm will not forever last.
Don't give up and say "forsaken!"
Don't begin to say "I'm sad,"
Look! there comes a CLEAN Of sun
shine,
Catch it! oh, it seems so glad.
Think how much these few lines
means to US all, we sometimes feel
blue over the griefs and struggles
Of this life sometimes it may seem
to US that life is not worth the liv-
ing. But We can be happy by help
ing others to be happy, smile at the
world and it will smile back at you,
smile is the cheapest bit of wear
ing apparel to be had today, it doesn't
cost cent, and it is worth so much
to you and to those who see it.
Think and speak kindly Of others,
and you cannot fail to get the same
appreciations, we cannot always see
this, but it most always proves true,
we always receive what we hand to
others, and real happiness can never
come from making others unhappy.
Scatter roses in the pathway Of others
while living, so they can know and
understand. Do not wait until still
hands are folded over pulseless
heart, and then place a wreath on
their lonely grave, for then it is to
late to bring happiness. The eyes
that once would have shone with love
and appreciation are closed; the one
that would have blessed you is silent
and you have lost an opportunity to
spread good cheer and happiness.
Catch the sunshine, and scatter
the sunshine. Do as you would be
done by. BY so doing you will be
happy.
Good Luck,
Pansy.

FAMOUS FAMINES
IN HISTORY
(From the Detroit Newsl

Among the famous famines in his.
tory was that terrible period Of suf.
fering from 70 to 88 A. D., when che
Roman world seemed to to be shaken
to its physical foundations. At that
time, in addition to the devastating
drought and famine which swept over
the Italian peninsula, during which
10000 citizens are said to have died
in one day in Rome, there followe ed
the shock Of earthquakes and the
cataclysmic eruption of Volcanoes.
In no other country in the world
has people been brought to such a
low ebb of morality or become SO
completely lost to all semblance of
national humanity as in the series of
famines which swept over Egypt dur
ing the tenth, eleventh and twelfth
centuries under Mahometan rule. A
low nile in 967 A. D. resulted in a
famine the following year, which
swept away 100000 people in the
vicinity Of Fustat. G'awhar, a Maho-
metan Joseph, founded a new city,
the Carlo Of day, a short distance
from the stricken city, and imme-
diately organized relief measures.
One Of the worst calamities that
ever befell the human race was the
Black Death, and the accompanying
famine, which afflicted all western
civilization during the middle decade
of the fourteenth century. Its toll
has been variously estimated at from
one-fourth to three-fourths of the en-
tire population of Europe, and was
not less than 10000, 900. persons,

NATURE PRODUCES ICE
IN JULYFOR IOWA

Many towns in the upper Mississip-
pi Valley dependent for their ice crop
on the winter harvest which the nor
thern Mississippi yields are experience
ing acute ice shortage these days be-
cause of last seasons crop failure.
Not so the two northeastern Iowa
towns of Decorah and Edewood.
There are three or four places in the
United States where winter and sum-
mer are all mixed up an nature puts
up ice in July and August instead of
in January. Decorah, Iowa, and Blk
by Park, near Edgewater, Iowa, are
two of them. There are ice mines at
both places.
Inside the caves there are walls Of
ice. Picnic parties at Bixby Park any
Sunday may be seen freezing ice
cream at the mouth of the ice mine.
The ice has been chopped in chunks
from the cave with an ak which is
kept there handy for the purpose.
The Decorah ice cave is much the
larger of the two. Winding chambers
lead back 100 feet, where the big ice
bound chamber is, but there are evi-
dences that beyond this other cave
passage penetrate deep into the hill.
1t is even surmisei that there may be
subterranean halls mile or two in
length, as in two different places dis
tant from the ice cave blast of cold
air issue from the crevasses in the
hills about Decorah.
Science has been busy for sometime
explaining these ice mines. Edwin S.
Balch, of Philadelphia who has made
a particularly study of them states
that according to the theory evolved
by Investigators, the formation Of the
caverns are such that cold ari Of
winter does not penetrate and settle
in them until late in the spring, at
the time when the water from spring
thaws, is seeping through the walls
and roof. The water meeting the cold
air freezes, and stays frozen all sum-
mer.
The Decorah ice cave remains just
as nature made it, up among the beet
ling rocks that wall the upper Iowa
River at that point. A climb up a
steep path and a great triangular
opening in the cliffs confronts the
visitor. Chill air comes from it. On
entering the cave it is necessary very
soon to use flashlight, as the wind
ing passages are entirely cut off from
the light that enters the cave open
ing. There is evidence that Indians
knew Of the ice cave and brought
to it in summer.
The ice mines at Bixby Park was dis
covered in late years. A prospector
ran q shaft into the hillside in the
park thinking there was lead in the
rocks. The lead was not found, but
the opening he had blasted in the
rocks was discovered the following
season, after the mine had been aban-
doned, to be walled with ice. The con-
dition has prevailed ever s;nca.

CONCENTRATION
OF HEROIC DEAD

New York, July 18.-Concentration
OF the heroic dead of the 9th and
30th Divisions of the American Expe-
ditionary Force into three cemeteries
in France is suggested in letters re-
ceived here today from Major Gen.
John F. Organ, formerly acting COM
mander o fthe 9th division.
The 9th was composed mainly of
men from the New York State Nation
al Guard. The men of the 30th Di-
vision came mostly from North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Gen. Organ, accompanied by Col.
j. Mayhem Wainwright, and Capt.
George Gibbons, have been overseas
for the last two months obtaining his
toric data in connection with the op-
erations Of the 9th Division and to
investigate the condition of the ceme-
teries in which the dead of the division
are buried.
ITO my mind the sentimental side
Of the cemetery proposition is quite
clear" said Gen. Organ. "I think
that the 9th and 30th Divisions
should have three cemeteries, the first
at Lijssenhoek (at Remy siding near
Poperinhge); the second at Bony, on
the Somme, in the, vicinity Of the ia
NOUS Hindenburg line; the third at
st. Souplet on the LIE Selle rives,
France and that the remains of all
men who lost their lives in connection
with, that is in the engagements lead
ing up to or resulting from the Lland-
ers operations should be transferred
to Remy. In like manner all deaths
connected with the battle of the Hin
denburg line, to Bony and all related
to the battle of the LIE Selle rives to
st. Souplet. AS remains are trans
ferred they should be reinterred by
companies and regiments, so far as
possible, but no attempt made to dis
turb the existing remains in the three
cemeteries named. If the families of
our dead could know what we know of
this whole thing, 80 per cent would ia

Large cemeteries are already es-
tablished at the localities mentioned
and most Of the 1858 dead of the 9th
Division and 1929 dead Of the 30th
Division havD been collected there
from the smaller plots here they were
first buried. The thought set forth is
to effect further concentration of
remains now at smaller burial plces
as Abeele, Doingt, st. Emile, Guile
mont Firm, Busingy or elsewhere, to
the three principal cemeteries named.
All of these were found to be main
tanned in excellent condition by care

PIXIES PEAK ASCENDED

feet above the sea. Since that time

nit.
Lieutenant Zebulon M. Pike is
credited with the discovery of the
mountain in 1906. AS hardy a pioneer
was the discoverer, he declared the
peak was inaccessible and none dared
to doubt it until June ID, 1920 when
Doctor James, member Of the Ma
jor Long expedition, succeeded in the
attempt.
Major Long Chirstened the noun
tain James peak but the pioneers and
plainsmen persisted in giving it the
name Of its discoverer and Pixies
Peak it has remained.
The history of tourist travel to this
most famous spot in the Rockies has
been that of the development of high
way transportation. First came a
bride path in 1878; two years Later
a wagon road was built and in 1891
a cog wheel railroad was constructed.
With the development of the auto
mobile industry came the demand for
a motor road and in 1916 the present
motor highway, winding around the
mountain in devious curves, with
precipitous rock walls flush against
the road on the one hand and deep
ravines on tht other, was completed
at cost Of 100000. 1t has an aver
age grade of per cent and maxi
mum of 1 IA per cent. It was 20
feet wide except at the curves which
were extendede to 80 feet for the
greater safety of the motorist..
Pixies Peak is eight miles in an air
line from Colorado Springs and the
greater part Of the mountain is con-
trolled by Colorado Springs to safe
guard the city's water supply.
In April, 1919, a government war
tank attempted to climb the peak but
was blocked by snow drifts. A month
later q caterpillar tractor made the
ascent.
Walking races, burro races, motor
cycle and automobile races have been
held on Pixies Peak. The first air
plane to cross the peak was flown
over the mountain on August 8, 1919,
piloted by Alexander Lendrur, OF
Colorado Springs. r.
The record for motor over the IL
miles from Crystal Greek to the sum-
NIT is held by Ralphi Mulfofd Awiao
made it in 18 minutes 26 seconds.
Next September the automobile
hillclimbing contest, discontinued
during the war, will be resumed. An
ariplane race from Denver around
Pike Peak and return will feature the
event.
