WASHINGTON. Nov. 12 = While woman politicians proclaim the need of women in the cabinet and in congress, Mrs. Annette Adams is showing what certain type of woman may be ex- pected to do in high office.
 As assistant attorney general, ap- pointed last May, she has to hand down legal opinions on various subjects to the government departments. Ques- tions from the people on income tax, for example, are answered by the in- come tax bureau. But if the tax ex- perts get stuck on point of their own law, or if some new angle or claim IS brought up, the bureau refers the prob lem to Mrs. Adams, and she gives her opinion. which stands as that Of the department of justice.
 Likewise, she handles disputed points of the Volstead act, though the su- preme court and congress have made the terms of prohibition so plain that trere are few doubtful phrases To Mrs Adams are also entrusted the legal matters relating to the federal prisons, the war risk insurance, pensions, the Adamson eigh-hour law, and other laws such as the Pure Food and Drugs act and the Safety Appliance act.
 A Place for Brains
 To render intelligent opinions on these weighty matters demands definite legal experience and sbility. Having to deal with the income tax labTrinth alone would stagger the average human being Yet Mrs Adams manages to look cheerful and assures you that the income tax law is in itself not unrea- sonably complicated. though she admits thnt the exemptions and surtax proyi- SlO1.s are t .,sa ..sl4IG-5t--E.
 She recalls how. before she came from California to be a government lawyer. she herself had a little difficult ty with her own tax blank. Its mys- teries had been carefully unraveled, ex- cept the baffling proposition as te which Liberty bonls were exempt iron taxation She took the inquiry to ar income tax expert and he admitted thai he had been stumped by the same thips and that he had finally paid tax on al of them to get it off his mind. Now Mrs. Adams will not have to bother over the possibility of her interpreta ton of the tax law being wrong for l a dispute arises the matter will oe re 'ferred to her anyway.
 Mrs Adams does not talk muci about herself, either her past or wha she intends to do. She has introduced no innovations into her branch of tn department of justice. and she does no expect to. As a woman in high gov ernment office she is a pioneer, and t' use her own expression, she is making haste slowly
 Sine is also a pioneer as a woman lawyer who has achieved a nationa reputation. As a girl she graduates from the State Normal school in Cali fornia and from the University of Cali fornia. and taught school while sh worked for her degrees. When she wa admitted to practice in the Californii courts and in the federal courts sh'

Lsvitation

Levitation is said to be "the phenomenon or rlu- sion of maintaining heavy bodies in air without support" That is the dictionary definition. We like catch the dictionary now and then. as we self-consttuted recognized authorities on var ious subjects and show that they are wrong.
 Levitation, as prepared to demonstrate and prove by some millions of people the country is always illusion. Take for instance the price of bread which formerly was supported by the price of the ingredients and labor winch into it. Flour the principal ingredient and probably is yet The labor of course. an important factor fuel and other factors were overhead expenses, but altogether they constituted as they do yet, a minor part of the cost of the days output, a small though by negligible part of the cost the loaf Previous to 1s15 we recall. flour about ss barrel Then it rose gradually though with some rapidity. until later 1t went to $16 bar rel. Its upward progress at first by grad ual essening of weight of loaf but that was found to be intellectual the price Of the lessened loaf was elevated.
 Now that was not levitation though a phenomenon for we could that the loaf in it's altitude was soiidly supported by s16 flour, by higher wages of labor. by increased rent and taxes. We have pur- posely omitted mention of water, an important in- Eredient of bread, since nothing the old days and costs no
 the support flour principal factor in the cost of bread has been gradually withdrawn We be- neve it is about s9 barrel. only little more than half the price when it was found necessary to double the price bread. The other costs of pro- ducton which contributed to increase remain the but the shrinkage of flour has left hiatus between the foundation and the superstruc- ture. the price of bread that is wonderful phe- nomenon as if there were support at all Yet, striking the phenomenon is, We repeat that it is illusion
 This philosophical treatment may be applied to the phenomenon of the price of meat which seems to be unsupported adequately supported by the cost of livestock. and it be also applied prices of may other necessities.
 In 1917. about this time of the year beef steers in Chicago selling at s16.oo@17Oo; hogs at s1S3o @1s.sO Last Saturday in the same market steers quoted ss.25@1O.5O; hogs s125O@1275 But we cannot reasonably expect prices of finished products to follow closely upon heels of descending prices of materials. They have never done so and they never will. They must come down by a slower pro- of readjustment. And now there is a condition which complicates that process.
 at the same time there is stin another factor which in justice the dealers fin all these commod- ties should is something to which called attention very early game soon after prices began advance. and that is the price of money which time fell to half it had in 1915 and has not since greatly advanced.
 Thus the this subject the less sure we of ground that the dictionary Is wholly wrong and inclined seek a compromise in the shape of agreement that these instances of levitation which have brought rorwaI4. ihroaeu phenomena are only semi illusions

DRY TORTUGAS GLORY GONE;
LIKEWISE ALL ITS PEOPLE

tanning his pardon from President
Johnson by reason Of Mudds heroic
services to other prisoners and to his
captors in the yellow fever epidemic
that wiped out almost everybody in
the fort in 1863.
Mudd was a country doctor living
in Charles county, Maryland, 25 miles
from Washington, during the Civil
war. Although he was in sympathy
with the south's cause, he and his
relatives decried any connection with
the plot to kill Lincoln and Secrc-
tary Seward. At any rate, at 4 o. m.
on January 16, 1865, Mudd answered
a rap at his door and found two
horsemen, one of whom had suffer
ed broken leg. The doctor set the
fractured bone, persuaded the men
to remain there until afternoon and
then, at their own insistenee, allow
ed them to depart.
The next DAY DR.. Mudd received
the news that President Lincoln had
been assassinated the night before
and that John Wilkes Booth, the as
sassin, had broken his leg in trying
to escape. He had hardly read the
newspapers before a company of sol
diers visited his home in search of
Booth and his confederate. Two days
later, after Booth Fhad been killed
in a barn in Virginia and lis con
federate had surrendered, Dr. Mudd
was arrested and charged with being
a party to the conspiracy
Although he pleaded his Innocence
he and four others were tried and
sentenced to prison for life Five OF
the conspsratOrs were hanged.

ters-qite extrayagant for those days

munitions and supplies were part of
the equipment.
But Dry Tortugas is no more a liv-
ing thing. It's last inhabitant has
departed. Only the blinking of the
Loggerhead lighthouse at night and
the continuous fluttering of birds
wings by day relieve the monotony
and lonesomeness.
