 Lasts Whole Week

Selma, November is.-(Special.)-- Electric wiring is practically tom- plete and erection of booths and lay ing of flooring for the big tent att fractions Is progressing rapidly at the show lot, next the courthouse. where Selma Shriners are to stage a shrine county fair beginning November 2t and continuing through the week. Much of the lumber has been donated by the HilgHrd Lumber company, and other firms are contributing cigars, crackers, candies. groceries and other articles. which will be placed on gale in the booths. Thanksgiving turkeys will be conspicuously displayed, and so far 30 of the finest bronze gob- blers to be found have been contrib uted by Shriners or their friends. As many more will be on hand when 'he Shrine fair opens Its gates to the public.
 A wonder box of candy. contributed by Schraaft candy manufacturers, will be the lodestar toward which many feminine patrons of the fair will gravitate. Souvenirs of evory sort will be on sale, and the many committees now at work on details of the fair are striving, to have as great a diversity of attractions as possible.
 In charge of the 4s dance hall will be the beauty patrol, composed of some of Selma's prettiest girls, head ed by Miss Faye Scale. crowned queen of Alabapa queens at Bir- mingham's semi-centennial celebra- tion recently, and also queen of the Shrine fair. A number of society matrons will chaperon the girls. and this feature. so popular at the Red Cross street fair several years ago. will be leading attraction at the Shrine fair.

800 Davidson Building.
 Washington. November 12.-(Spe- oiaI aI)-Newspapers may add to their invested capital amounts spent out ot earned surplus or current earn. ings in building up their circulation. under a decision rendered today by the internal revenue bureau, which IS of special importance to newspapers in the southeast who pressed the case through their organization. Com mittees representing the newspaper associations met in Washington. and a hearing was held by the bureau in August, at which arguments we're made by former Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, representing tha Southern Newspaper Publishers association. and by Arnold L. Guessmer of Min neapolis, Minn, on behalf of the American Newspaper Publishers as- sociation. In addition to oral arRu- ments elaborats briefs were filed with the commissioner. and since that time the matter has been under ad- visement.
 The contention of counsel for the newspapers was that the property of largest value to 8 newspaper was ifs circulation lists; that tho circulation of s paper was It's edifice, and that 4On0y EpS4L III puAtolhk tnls 9olAiCS was as much an investment as the money spent for bricks in erecting a building: and that since this was clearly an investment, those publish. CTS who had charged the cost of building up circulation to expense should have the right to change to investment account. and that this amount should be recognized as in- vested capital. The present bureau huling sustains this contention. The ruling has not yet been published, but Senator Smith was today ad. vtsed of the action of the committee on appeals and review, of the Income tax unit. to whom the matter was referred for decisionA
 The committee says;
 If the records of tho taxpayer are so kept that proof of the amount inc vested in the circulation structure can be made, in actual figures, and can be identified as specifically paid in building up the circulation struc- ture, the committee can see no req son for denying such taxpayer the right to restate- his surplus"

By GEORGE N BARNES special Wireless Dispatch to The Age fCnnxriaht 1921 h,. The Ara-HeraidA


 London, November 12.-The open ing of the Washington conference has been followed here with an in terest deepened and hallowed by the honor paid to the mortal remains of the unknown American warrior at Arlington. The homage paid the unknown dead will create at Wash ington an atmosphere in which the delegates will approach their gigan- tic task in chastened mood and a quickened sense of responsibility. British hearts and minds go out to them, and to President Harding, who has led the world thus far in this new crusade to garner the fruits of that victory oyer war for which the poor soldier at Arlington died.
 British people everywhere are greatly disappointed that Lloyd George has been unable to leave the country to take part in these initial proceedings. He would have spoken for us with unriyalled authority and persuiasiveness, for he lives and moves and has his being closer than any other to our inmost thoughts and feelings. and he has synthetic power possessed by no other among us. It still Is hoped that the Irish troubles may subsiae sufficiently to enable him to join later in the de- Alterations.
 Balfour Among Friends
 In the absence of Lloyd George. and his agent, Mir. Balfour is perhaps next best able to contribute Britain's share to the solution of the prob lems which confront the conference. He has a philosophical outlook as well as keen mind attuned to peace and knowledge of world affairs ac- quired by varied experience in public work for nearly a half century He has filled the highest offices in the state yet his disinterestedness Is at- tested by war service in subordinate positions during which he was en- trusted with 8 special mission to the

1 United States He again mingles with Americans as friend among friends.
 Since the war Mir. Balfour has served under Lloyd George as repre- sentative of this country on the coun- ell of the League of Nations, and that fact further enhances the value of his services at Washington He will be able to arrest and harmonize pos sibiy diverging views of the league ana of the conference. After all, the two are not in conflict; not even in rivalry. The conference is comple mentary to the league. Balfour will voice the aspirations of those with whom he has recently been in con clave in Geneva, and thus he be- comes moderating link between the two converging efforts for world amity.
 Special Qualifications
 It is also fortunate that his col league, Lord Lee. has special quali- ficatioins for the duties which fall ts his lot. He has had experience of American life and has Knowledge of American qualities. He was resident in the United States as representa- tive of the British admiralty, of WhACn III ISSSAb JEaAS hS HOG rSSh a head.
 In Sir Maurice Hankey the British representatives have a chief officer who has had an aunique opportunity of knowing the Brush mind in in- ternational affairs, for he was sec retary to the British delegation at the peace conference. He is, withal. man of modest and charming person. ality. who will make friends while making others friendly.
 Lords Beatty and Cavan need no comment except that they are the pick of our pugnacious breed. My only regret is that labor Is not di- rectly represented at Washin gton. that this country has followed up it's whole-hearted acceptance of Presi- dent Harding's invitation with a de- termination to give of its best in or der to contribute. to the success of the conference.
 The gathering at Washington is fraught with great possibilities. It may prove to be a turning point in human story if it directs mems minds toward policies which will lessen the burden of armamement and thereby lessen the risk of war It's delib- erations will be followed here with sympathetic interest born of suffer- ing and sacrifice and sustained by conviction that there is a general de- sire to find way out of the sea of trouble into the safe haven of peace on earth and good will among men.
