1t must not be supposed that be-
cause the higher surtax rates are to
be eliminated in the new tax bill that
men of large incomes are to be re-
ieved of their share of the tax bur-
den. The present high rates have
driven men of wealth to invest their
money in municipal bonds and other
tax exempt securities, of which there
is estimated to be about $4,000, ,OOO, 900
outstanding. The effect has been to
reduce the federal tax received from
those men from s900,OOO,OOO to $780,
100000. With those extortionate sur
tax rates removed, it is expected that
money will be turned again into manu-
featuring and commercial enterprises
subject to tax and the net income to
the government will be increased.

POLO PLAYED FOR CENTURIES
Game Is Known to Have Been in Ex-
is.ence for More Than Two
Thousand Years.

During its existence of more than
two thousand years there have been
twelve varieties of the game of polo.
The earliest form known was primi-
tive, consisting of feats of horseman-
ship and Skill The early Persian form
described in Shamana was highly
organized game with rules, played by
four on each side. In Persia, in the
Sixteenth century, the grounds were
300 by 10 yards, and the play resem-
bled the rough football of the same
period in England. This game became
more highly organized In the next
century.
The Byzantine form played st Con-
stantinople in the Twelfth century
used leather ball the size of an apple
and a racquet. The Chinese game. in
vogue about COO A. D.. was played
with a light wooden ball. The Jap
anese form. popular in feudal times,
still survives under the name OF dakin.
or ball match.
In an ancient Indian variety the
sides are ranged up on opposite ends
of the grounds and the ball is thrown
In. This Is probably the form OF the
game which reached India from Persia
and Is represented to-day by Manipur
and Gllgit polo, though these forms are
rOugher than the old Indian game.

ment of the census taken this
ear which gives London a popi.-
lation of 7,476,l an increase in
the last decade of nearly three

Greater New York a population
of less than 100000 increas'

Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark
and other cities OF New Jersey are
as much a part of the American
metropolis, from a standpoint OF
location, as many communities
allotted TO London are part OF
the British capital They can
never be included in the state
ment OF New York's numbers, but
a large portion of their popula-
ton inhabits the big city for many
hours daily. But mere size in a
city is no longer looked upon as
so desirable as formerly. II Pitts
burgh, for instance. had what IS
coming to her, she would rank far
higher in the census table than
she does today Her compare
tive prosperity is reflected in her

population figures do not tell the

trustees are invited TO meet at the
school and bring their grass cut
tiers. rakes, whitcwash brushes and
buckets, nails and hatchets. and
whatever other tools may be nee
essary TO put their schoolhouse
and grounds in good condition. II
is felt that the school should en-
body, in concrete form, the les
sons in sanitation and health, in
comfort, beauty and safety that
il would impress upon the COM
munity, for it can never hope 10
promote any virtue which it does
not itself exemplify. Teachers,
children. patrons and friends have
in scores of places assembled at
the school and observed School
improvement Day in such way
as to stimulate the pride OF the
entire people in making the most
important agency in their midst
a more positive factor in its infiu-
ence and possibilities because OF
what was done.
All this tends 70 lessen the risk
of FIRE. A clean school, like clean
home, is more likely to be safe
school. Teachers who are strong
enough to lead their trustees and
patrons to see that to spend money
and time in making an inviting
and cheerful school is one OF the
best investments possible, no;
only to insure higher degree OF
success in their own work
through the inspiration to attain
a reasonable degree of education
that pleasant surroundings give
to children. even more than to
older people. but they also render
an inestimable service to the
community by means OF the ex-
ample set by the school and the
lessons given to the children in
cleanliness and other virtues
which constitute effective proven
tives of FIRE.
In relation to the suggestion
for a general cleanup of the rural
schools during the early fall, it is
suggested that this work be done
on Monday, October 10. National
Fire Prevention Day. as set by
the President of the United
States. and on which day the
Maryland Fire Prevention Com
mittee has planned for demon
STATIONS and cleanup movements
in every city and town of the
State. The residents of the towns
and surrounding territory are,
therefore. urged to gather at their
respective school locations on
that day and aid in not only clean
ing the SCHOOL buildings of all
rubbish that tends to present a
fire danger. but to remove all
grass, underground and leaves
from around the school struct-
ures.
