tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrHEl
Paris, May 27.-Discussion of
the special tax on the bachelors
and spinsters of France caused a
scene so violent in the French
senate yesterday that the presid-
ing senator, Alexander Berard,
the president, was Obliged to sus-
pend the session.
Senator Dominique De La Haye
had proposed an amendment in
which he asked that the ecclesias-
tics. priests. sisters and nuns be
excluded from the proposed law
and not obliged TO pay the tax The
original law proposes a tax of %
per cent upon the revenue of all
unmarried or divorced citizens
more than thirty years of age.
Senator De La Haye demanded
especially a recall of the proposed
law making a tax or 35 per cent
on married people who have been
welded for more than two years
and have no children. Senator
Iervery commenced refuting Sen
ator De La Hayes arguments while
both the latter and his brother
Jules, left their seats and attempt
ed to prevent senator Hervery
from proceeding.
The tumult was so terrific that
Senator Berard was forced to place
the symbolic top hat on his head,
suspending the session. Senator
Hervery attempted to reach Do
minique De La Have TO present him

taxes and charges, net earnings OF
$lO,7G9, 1904, equal 10 $39S9 per
share on the $20,00O,O0O of COM
mon stock. This is after allowance
has been made for preferred diVi-
dends. In 1918 the earnings per
share on common stock were
$l3.S6, total of $5,572,527. Presi-
dent w. w. Wood told his stock
holders that the close of the year
left the company with untitled or
ders sufficient to keep the ma
chinery fully employed well into
1920 and with good prospects for
full production for the entire year.
Foreign deliveries increased ap-
proXimately 100 per cent during
1919, Wearing overalls is obvious
ly not the cure for such a situa-
ton as this.
1t would be possible to fill a
number of pages of the American
Federationist with citations Of
enormous profits. II there were full
publicity for profits, as there
should be. it would be possible to
present such an array of figures as
would stagger the Imagination.
Perhaps sufficient number
of figures has been presented to
show beyond question the condi-
ton that generally exists. The Cita-
ton of profits already made are
from representative industries and
tell the story so far as figures of
that kind can tell the story. There
is, however, another phase of bus
mess activity about which the gem
eral public has little or no knowl-
edge and which has at least some
bearing on the initiation of living
costs. The irregularlty of this
phase Of the business world Is such
as TO make the completion of any
comprehensive statistical table an
impossibility.

WOMEN FALL DOWN

A fioor manager hurries forward
kind hands lift the woman and her
bundles. she Is carried TO rest

the next crash.
II Is just an incident In the
daily life OF a Baltimore department
store manager during the Christmas
shopping season. Floor walker" Is
the title most familiar TO the pub
lie, but floor managers don't like
that. The funny papers and joke
books have spoiled II; IT. doesn't

combination of diplomat, detective,

He must be alert. susve and un-
ruffled at all times.
The spectacle OF women falling
downstairs with bundles doesn't runle
him. not because he hasn't tender
heart and not because he is SO used
to IT. but because SO few women get
hurt.
ITS the most surprising thing"
said moor manager. They come
down that flight OF stairs there, with
bundles sticking out all over them.
and instead of watching their step
they're looking out across the store
hoping to get "A birdseye view OF an
other bargain. You'd think some OF
the falls would break their necks.
but nobody has been really hurt yet.
We take em to n rest room or up TO

around all right and go to shopping

Mackenzie river. With winter CLOS

set out with pack-trains and dog

provisioned.
Police precautions may prevent a
REPETITION of the tragedies that
marked the rush to the Yukon and
Of 1895 Edmonton was the fitting
out point for many of the gold seek
ers. Few reached their destination.
Disheartened by hardships, many

their whitencd bones are found from

All signs point to an unprecedented

Every berth on steamers on Peace,

Many prospectors, 1t Is said, plan to
make the entire journey from Edmon-

The excitement, which Is the great

STUDENTS FAVOR BIBLE
AGAINST SHAKESPEARE

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. 2s.-william
Shakespeare, for several centuries
noted for his choice English, will be
replaced by the Bible in the usual
class in Shakespearian literature at
the University of California William
was buried by a vote OF 80 to 81 by
the upper classmen in favor of the
Bible as essential to a knowledge OF
English literature. AS a consequence
Professor Charles Mills Gayley, head
OF the English department OF the uni
"ersity, will lecture on the Bible next
semester
Selection of the Bible as text
book in literature rather than the
works of Shakespeare was decided
upon by the class' after Professor
Gayley advised them to consider
seriously the relative merits of the
two subjects.

HUNTERS RIBS BROKEN
IN FIGHT WITH MOOSE

BANGOR, Me, Dec. 2S.-George
Hinton, of Doaktown, ono Of the best
known hunters and guides of tire
Miramichi river country, Is suffering
from two broken ribs and many
cuts and bruises sustained in a
desperate battle with wounded
bull moose in the woods near New
Brunswick. He arrived here for
treatment.
Hinton shot and, as he believed.
killed one OF the largest bulls he
had ever seen. Turning to observe
another moose, the hunter left the
wounded animal for , moment. As
he did so, tho bull scrambled to Its
fet and charged.
Realizing his danger, Hinton flung
himself upon the moose's horns and
clung there until the worried animal
shook him loose and fled into the
woods.
