IMPORTANT CHANGES IN
 INCOME TAX PROCEDURE

Important changes in income tax procedure directed by Commissioner David H. Blair are embodied in a Treasury Decision effective Decem- Der 18th, which provides for the prompt adjustment of claims for re- fund and abatement of Federal taxes.
 Heretofore when an overassessment or overpayment was disclosed by the audit of an income tax return, the taxpayer was invited to file a claim for the abatement of the overassess- ment. or the refund of the overpay- ment. When received the claim was registered and filed away until reach ed in due course for consideration. Because of the large number of such claims filed, delay in adjustment nec- essarily resulted.
 After December 18th taxpayers will not be advised of their privilege of filing a claim for the refund of taxes which have been paid in excess of amounts legally due, but instead will receive certificate of overassess- ment and a check in correction of the error if an assessment is outstand- ing against the taxpayer of income or excess profits tax, the overpay- ment will be applied as a credit against the assessment and the bal ance immediately refunded.
 This will be of distinct financial advantage to both the taxpayer and the Government. It will do away with the necessity for the taxpayer filing a clai mfor refund and will greatly reduce the amount of work to be done by the Bureau in the adjustment of claims. Taxpayers may continue to file claims for the abatement and re- fund, but it is expected that the num- Der of such claims filed each month will be greatly reduced.
 Efforts are being mad e by the Bureau to adjust within six months all claims now pending and thereaf- ter to keep the work current.
 The Revenue Act of 1921 provides that under certain conditions interest shall be paid upon claims from the date of the payment of the tax to the date of the allowance of the claim. The new procedure should greatly re- duce the amount of interest which the Government must of necessity pay upon claims for refund.

Great Baby ShrInkage.

Doctor Johnson's dictum that "births at all times bear the same proportion to the same number of people" looks rather like a wide shot in the pres ence of a row of figures just published by the Cambridge University Press. These figures occur in the report of paper read by MT. c. Udny Yule, M. A., at the university, and they show that in England and Wales the annual birth rate per thousand has been halved in the last 40 years. In the light of this comparison the present baby boom in London leaves us still far behind our grandfathers in the art of stretching the population. In the world-competition for posterity Serbia stands first and Australia last, with England last but one.-Montreal Herald.

WHY SOME DYES ARE FEAST"
Vegetable and Animal Compounds Su perior to Any Products of the
 Chemists Laboratory.

Some dyes are "fast;" others fade either when the goods are washed or when they are exposed to the sunlight. The faStness or otherwise of color depends upon the arrangement of the atoms that make up its molecules. If these be closely interwoven, neither light nor water can separate them; but If they are loosely joined together light and water make them disinte- grate. Most of our modern dyes are derived from coal tar and consist of atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other elements. The vegetable dyes usually contain no other elements but carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. That is why, being so simple, such colors as logwood and natural indigo are the fastest of all. The few ami nal dyes-cochineal, for example are fast for the same reason. But the so-called anilin dyes are the prod uct of the chemists laboratory and are complex and loosely bound com binations of the atoms of many ele- ments. There are acid dyes and al' kaline dyes, and before applying them to any stuff one must know whether the cells of this are acid or alkaline in reaction. For opposites attract likes repel. Therefore we must use acid dyes for alkaline materials ana alkaline dyes for acid materials.

Tho Average Hair Crop.

The Bible tells us that the hairs of our head are numbered, but 1t does not tell us even the approximate num- her to a square inch.
 But some one has figured this out for us. He counted the hairs in g square inch on many heads
 On the average head there are thousand hairs to each square inch. Find out the number of square inches in your scalp and you will soon know the approximate number of hairs on 1t.
 We are also told that four hairs will suspend one-pound weight. There fore an average head of hair should be able to support the combined weight of two hundred people. Don't try it.-Popular Science Monthly.

Cultivated Rose ls English.

In. many countries some flower is taken as the national emblem. The French claim the fleur de lis, the Scotch the thistle. and the wattle be- longs entirely to Australia; the maple leaf Is the national emblem of Canada. as the fern leaf is of New Zealand. But the most familiar of all Is per haps the red rose of England. Every one has heard of the Wars of the Roses. There. is no more typically English flower than the rose; and yet most English roses have come from China or from the East. The culti- vated rose. however, in its hundreds of. varieties-bush roses, climbing, scrambling. rambling roses, dwarf roses-is typically English.

Salt Monopoly in Ecuador.

The production and sale of salt in Ecuador Is monopolized by the govern ment, which enjoys a good profit there from. Salt is obtained from the sa- linas in the provinces of Guayas, Ma nabi and Fl Orc. The works consist of blocks of land whose surface has been lowered a few feet, into which seq. water Is permitted to seep. The water is slowly evaporated by the sun, precipltating crystals and thus forming a considerable layer of salt, which is broken into pieces for dis tribution. It is estimated that the average quantity of salt consumed by each individual in Ecuador Is thirteen pounds per annum.
