 onsciaI For States of Property.

Washington Feb. 22.-Risht of the government 10 the collection of millions of dollars in surtaxes in seven states treasury officials said today hinges on the decision to be rendered by the attorney general on the division of property between husband and wife for income tax purposes under community laws.
 Tn Idaho. Nevada. California. Washington. Oregon. Louisiana and Now Mexico officials explained a cer- tain portion of the property ac- dulred after marriage Is held in common. Therefore under a joint income tax return by husband and wife tho Sssrtax would apply on the total income but if they are per mitted to divide the property in making their return As husband and wifo the income subjects Of surtax also would be divided and total sur tax considerably lessened.
 An opinion in similar case rendered by tho attorney general hold that the division of income was permissible in Texas under com munity laws.

MOUNTAINS AFFECT BIRD LIFE
Andes Said to Be Responsible for Mum.
Der of Species Found in
South America

The richness of South American
bird-Iife is due to the presence of the
Andes more than to any other enc
thing. 1t is the absence of great
mountain chains in Africa, which &C
counts for the comparatively small
numbers of species of birds in that
continent From base to summit. four
distinct zones of life-tropical.- sub
tropical, temperate and alpine-are
found in the higher Andes, and each
zone has species which are confined
to it.
It is not only the height of the An
des which affects bird life. In places
for hundreds of miles, this gigantic
range may appear as two or three
chains, each not less than 10000 or
I1.OCO feet in height. and these eli
matte walls are as impossible to the
species living in the tropical or sub
tropical valleys they inclOse as though
they extended to the zenith. IsOla-
ton is. therefore, added to the fac
tors of climate and sedentariness in
the making of the. species. and the
three combined have produced a great
