.CONINGSBY DAWSON
 HERE NIGHT OF MAR, 27

"Remaking the World" will be the subject of Lieut. Conningsby Dawson lecture on Saturday evening, March 27. at S:15 o'clock, when he speaks in the Jefferson Theatre under the auspices of ths Woman's Guild or St Mary's-o on the Highlands.
 Under this title Lieutenant Dawson will tell of his unusual experiences on all the European fronts, many or which he has already incorporated in the books that have made him one of the most famous of the wartime writ CTS.
 His first war book, Carry On,' writ ten during the Somme offensive of 1916, made the valiant slogan of the British fighting man a part of the vo- cabulary of the American nation. When the Canadians were in the plain before Lens. after their capture of the Vimy ridge, he was dangerously wounded, nearly losing his right arm. He trav- eled along the front from the English channel down to Switzerland, making a study not only of the work of things purely military, but also of the work of the American Red Cross. the story of which adventure is recorded in Out to Win" The story of the tremendous overwhelming of the great German military machine is told in Living Bayonets.'

ALABAMA LEADS
 IN DIPPING VATS

Washington, March 20-tSpecial) )--Fed- eral authorities in charge of tick eradl- cation predict that 90 counties in the area still infested by cattle ticks Will be cleaned up and released from quaran- tine, December 1.
 Only 30 per cent of southern territory originally quarantined remains under tick domination. and with the fight two- thirds won, the agents are enthuslasti- cally entering upon the final lap of tse fight.
 Cattle it is announced, will be sent through the dipping vats as soon as the weather, and the condition Of the cattN will permit. Reports from field work CTS say that cattle which went into the winter tick free are showing up thus spring in much better condition than the animals which were subject to continued attacks of the parasite.
 Despite bad weather, clippings were not discontinued in winter in localities where dipping would not injure the cattle. There were more than 300.000 clippings in January and a greater number in Feb ruary Improved weather conditions m January and a greater number in Feb rurary. Improved weather conditions in March gave the agents an opportunity to gain a flying start. The entire work in the south, it is estimated, Will De completed within three years.
 Alabama still leads in the number or dipping vats-' canals to prosperity with Texas a poor second. The tceai number, 32,756, are divided among the states as follows:
 Alabama, S,00S; Arkansas 2,62S; florlda' .516; Georgia, 2,9S4; Louisiana, 4'6S2; MIS- s;ssippi. 4.292; North Carolina, 4SO; Okla homa .15O; South Carolina S,44: Texas (north), 4,7s5; Texas (south), 1,445.

turn the decision of the supreme court, is not due, in the language of the secre- tary of the treasury, to further pos sible losses in revenue "as from the obvious undesirabihty of permitting 2,- 800 corporations and their stockholders to escape both the taxes imposed upon corporations and upon individuals.
 The ways and means committee is pre- paring to legislate to prevent corpora tlons, grown fat with profits of war, from escaping that form of taxation which the individual, struggling to live, cannot escape. Various bills are pend- ing. It is safe to predict, however, that the legislation enacted will be business legislation and not of the sentiment va riety hitherto referred to in this corre- spondence which would donate excS-> profit returns from corporations to the soldiers, sailors and marines who fou ~il- the war against Germany
 Accurately to estimate the loss in rev enue necessitated through the courts de- cisicn is one of the most difficult prob lems ever facing the experts of the treas ury. As stated. the actuary holds the total loss to approximate sl05, ,0O0.O00. Yet the secretary states that others hold the total loss will not exceed S25, ,0O0,o = As bearing on this topic. the secretary sends to Congress this statement:
 The loss resulting from this decision A<aAt2 lAttO bWO BAiiNlplt CidSSSS. AHrS ehargeable to the possible exemption of public service corporations and their stockholders. and that chargeable to the complete exemption of the stock divi- dends.~
 There are about 2,5OO personal service corporations having net income of ap- proximately 600 involved, the taxes upon which under existing law do not exceed S6.000. 900 for the year 1918, and a slightly smaller amount for the year 1919. The aggregate loss for the two years would probably be between $l0 o00000 and $12,000,000. The need for legis- lation in this connection arises not so much from the possible loss of reveHue as from the obvious undesirabiity of permitting 2,5o0 corporations and their stockholders escaping the taxes both upon corporations and individuals.
 ''The loss resulting from the exelnT tion of stock dividends is very difficult to estimate, owing to the fact that such dividends in the past have not been sep arately shown on the returns, while rue losses from the exemptions of stock divi- dends as such will be partially if not wholly offset by the heavier taxes re- sulting from the decision upon any gains realized upon subsequent sale of stock, and by other off-setting factors which need not be mentioned in detail.
 After consideration of these factors, the actuary of the treasury estimates that the net loss or refund of taxes all ready paid. i. e., taxes from the period ending with 1918, will be in the neigh borhood of $S5, 900, and that taxes for the year 1919. payable in the calender year of 1920, will be reduced by approNi- mately $70,000,0O0 on this account
 ..These figures may be regarded as maxima, and most of the experts of the department are of the opinion that the entire net loss resulting from the exemption of stock dividends will amount to less than $25,ooo00o.'

 The senator is essentially man of action. The antics of the Senate, as expressed during the League of Nations fight, at first amused him, then dis tressed him. For he seemingly realized the waste of time in a period when so many acute problems demand attention.
 The senator arrived at the beginning of the week which brought the league fight to climax. The minor members lost no opportunity to set themselves right with their constituents. This re- quired a short or a long speech by each. The leaders lost no opportunity to jockey the opposing parties into compromising positions before the pub

May be Called for Jury Duty in Della

With the dignity of attaining citi-
zenship which the ratification of the
18th amendment has brought to women
comes the practical benefit of greatly
opportunity to earn a liv-
ing. For it is generally conceded that
women may now practice law OF hold
political office. Although local law
yers refused to be quoted on the sub
iect before having an opportunity to
study the question they nevertheless
were sure that before many months
women would be practicing law in
Delaware. Attorney General Rein
hart said that although he had not
looked into the question he believed
that suffrage would carry citizensip
and citizenship would carry the right
to study law and take the bar exami-
nations. With regard to women serv-
ing on juries, should the suffrage
amendment be ratified it is unlikely
they will be called for duty at the
September term, when petit jurors are
drawn. Grand jurors, however, are
drawn at the first of the new year
and should ratification become effec-
tive, it was thought today women
might be called for such service.

FAIR TO FEATURE EXHIBIT
Forty Acres of Land to Be Used For
Demonstration Purposes.

The forty acres of ground in the
rear of the Delaware State Fair
grounds, the lease on which was
taken the past winter by the Fair As
sociation, it is expected yill be the
most interesting spot for farmers at
the Fair which opens next week.
Some of this ground will be used
for the parking OF automobiles, and
there will be plenty of room this year
for anyone who wishes to come to
the Fair, which opens on September
6. in an automobile, but the main
reason for obtaining this extra
ground, was to permit tractor demon
strations.
Last year there was one day on
which a concern which had a tractor
at the Fair gave an exhibition, but
the amount of land for the demon
stration was so limited that it was
not as successful as it might have
been. This year there are acres and
acres of land, more than sufficient, on
which to successfully demonstrate
what certain makes of tractors can
do.
The demonstrations will take place
every day, and it is likely that there
will be several going on at the same
time. Some of the largest tractor
concerns in the country will send spe-
cial representatives to the Fair with
complete outfits so that they can
show to the farmer in practice what
their illustrated pamphlets describe
in printed form. A threshing outfit
to demonstrate how a farmer can
save time, patience, and make more
money through the use of a tractor.
Another large tractor concern will
have a corps of workers out on a
threshing machine for the benefit OF
anyone who wishes to see what a trac-
tor can do

The administration of serum to

a drug or medicine but pure, clean
blood from a healthy hog containing
cholera protective qualities.
