 'tManipulations of inventory are not infrequently found and these can al ways be checked accurately by the field examiners of the bureau and no business of any size can keep accu- rate books and at the same time man ipulate inventories. Some tax payers, evidently are of the belief that they can hire interruptions accountants who reconstruct their books, and then if the fraud is discovered blame it all on the accountants, to whom they usually pay large fees.
 '1n many instances field examiners have discovered that tax payers keep two sets of books, one set accurately setting forth the status of the busi- ness and the other set fraudulently setting forth their income, and merely kept for the purpose of defrauding the government It is safe to say that in nine out of ten of these latter cases the fraud is discovered within a short time after it is perpetrated-

 Mayor Donovan's letter to the high way commissioner is as follows: Per 1nit me to call your attention to suggestion which, should it meet With your approval, will result in great benefit to the travelling public, ana eliminate a dangerous condltlon, which has already resulted in some fatalities and from which casuaItles are a very frequent occurance.

 "You are doubtless familiar with the conditions at this point, so that an extended recital of detail IS un- necessary.

 Such a change would permit Of easy approach, abolish the danger. and be a great benefit to the travel ing public That this is the most dangerous point in the highway be- tween New York and the eastern Con necticut boundary, is unqueStloned- May I anticipate your cooperation in the removal of this condition? l shall be pleased to have an express sion of your view on this matter at your earliest convenience"

The first shots were over, but the pointers soon had the range and shell after shell crashed into the rusty hulk as it pitched and tossed at it's anchorage.
 Within a few minutes after the fir- ing ceased, the V-43 was settling by the head. She filled gradually until her forward deck was awash. Her end then was only a matter of minutes.
 The stern was hoisted higher and higher out of the water until 1t was at right angles and as it slipped down there was an explosion caused by the pressure of running water aga1nst* the air in the after compartments
 In the meantime the big bat1eships, augmented Ky the Delaware, which fell into line behind the Flordia start ed away on a wide circular course which would bring them back on a 75oo yard range from which the Del aware opened fire on the S-132. Three shells in the first sa1vos of seven found the mark and before the full l4O shots allotted the ship had been fired the old German destroyer had been swept from stem to stern explosion following explosion as each shelf found the mark An early shot car ried away the mainnaast and another set fire to the after house.

 Detroit, July 16.-World going to the dogs?
 Think so?
 That the old world and all those on it are headed for the general bow vows seem to be the idea of about everyone these days
 The Catholic Daughters of Ameri- ca, in national convention here, said that divorce, birth control, agitation and modern dress, etc. indicate de- cadency.
 The Christian Endeavor convention in New York came out with the same idea.
 The Hon. Ernest T. Tustin, presi- dent of the x orthern Baptist conven- tion held recently in Des Moines, Ia., declared that t'in our social life there has been most dep1Crable lowering of morale" and that "in our local pol itics the morale is lower perhaps than ever before.'
 And now comes a voice declaring that the alarmists are wrong.
 "Bunkum.'' cries the Rev W. l.. Stidger, pastor of St Marks M. E. church.
 The world. or our part of the it is better than ever before and is becoming better every day." the min ister declares.
 ''The world, or are part of the world, is not in its decadency, nor are there signs of approaching it.
 '"The Old World isn't all right-it never has been-but it is improving all of the time.
 You hear about empty churches Many of them are empty, that's a fact But these ministers who are preaching a present-day Gospel in a present-day way aren't talking to empty pewS. There are more persons attending church than in many years
 After all. the kind of modern Gospel I moan isn't new Gospel 1t all-it's the real, original Gospel the kind that makes men better because it makes their hearts better the kind that reaches down to the industrial life >and insists on the principles of Christ being applied to the work-a-day life

AMERICAN LEAGUE !.
VOTES DOWN RULE
Makes Unlimited, Number of Flrst-Year
Players to BE Sent to Minor
Leagues.
(By Associated Press)

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 11.-Com-
pfete harmony marked the annual meet
ing of the American league here today,
all of the clubs being represented ex-
cept New York.
The American league owners voted
down the rule recommended by the new
national baseball council that 25 per-
cent of the clubs shares of receipts in
city post-season series be paid into
the league treasury and adopted a rule
that Is percent go to the funds of the
new commission instead of 10 percent
as formerly.
The rule governing sending of first
year players to the minor leagues was
amended to make the number unlimited.
Formerly the limit was four. The limit
also was removed from the number of
players to farm out, the previous limit
being eight.
Another rule amended permits players
who have been in the major leagues for
10 consecutive seasons to demand an
unconditional release after waivers have
been served on him. Under the former
rule a club could claim him within 10
days after the waiver period.
No trades were reported.
