CUBA'S BUSINESS
 DEPRESSION CLEAR

Havans, July 20-Signs of Cuba's business and financial depression are evident to the most casual observer. Three big banks, with scores of branches are closed. The parks are full of idlers- Stores are blazoning what they call bargain sales,'' with goods marked down sometimes as prices, which is the Spanish mer- chants idea of sacrificing profits.
 The papers are ful1 of the govern mental plans for buying 1,oo0,000 tons of surplus sugar at a price that will save producers and dealers from ruin, for re-esta abHshing banking fla cilities that will relieve the pressing scarcity of currency, for cutting the cost of running the government from S104, 100000 to about $60,0O0,000 a year and for reducing the cost of liv- ing
 Politicians within reaching distance of the political plum basket are dog sed day and night by swarms of job hunters. Hundreds of stock Galle- gos, the transient laborers from across the Atlantic. are struggling in from the sugar plantations and walk ing the streets, waiting for ships to take them back to Spain.
 Tenants, with Latin enthusiasm, are organizing Don't Pay Rent campaigns until landlords come down to the 1914 scale and the government forces the cost of primary necessities down a couple of hundred per cent

JINGLE SAM TAXES LIEN ON PROPERTY OF BOOTLEGCERS, WHO LEARN THAT ALL IS
 NOT PROFIT THAT EVADES THE LAW
CBy International News service.)

Dubois, Pa. July 2O-If your Uncle Samuel doesn't get you coming he is certain to get you going His tax laws are like the laws of nature you can't escape them.
 Bootleggers thought they were slip ping one over on the old gentleman and getting away with it,''; but they have discovered that though they sold liquor illegally the Government is go- ing to collect it's pound of flesh in the way of revenue taxes.
 For months there has been a power fu1 lot of bootlegging in this part of the State, according to current re- ports Some were caught red handed and went so far as to plead guilty to save the expenses of defending a suit in court.
 In the meantime Internal. Revenue Collector IIewelIyn, of Pittsburgh, b, took notice. He sent a special exam finer up here in Clearheld County. The Court docket in Prothonotary (Coun- ty C1erk) Ralston's office. He made a list of all those convicted of Liquor law violations. This list was sent to headquarters in Pittsburgh
 In the last few days tax liens been received at the prothonotary's s office and are being chalked up against the property of each vio1ator convicted.
 lney are per1ect1y good liens, too iron clad and guaranteed not breaka- able. Better still, they have right of way over all other claims against t,AS properties. Uncle Sam will collect his little bill first-1o0 cents on the dollar and interest - and what is left, the other ordinary claimants, if there are any, may have.
 U. S. An Expert Accountant
 It's simple. The action is taken un- der Section 3186 of the Revised Sta tutes of the United Staes, which set forth that if the taxes are not paid at the proper time they become a lien against the property of the person owing such taxes. Not only the tax itself, but the interest and all costs are punched in that lien, and the long CT you dodge those taxes the bigger the bill the Government will collect in the end.
 None of the illicit liquor sellers paid any tax for the IAquor they peddled around, so they violated the Revenue laws, and the liens are the next step. Bootlegger tax dodgers are all treated alike. whether they do a big business or a little business-no graduated scale for them. The sheriff. will collect the Govern ment's bill.
 Bootlegging is not all profit.

 New York, July 20 - London is shocked at the tragic death of the Earl of Craven, who was drowned off the Isle of Wight a few days ago
 Waves of excitement which the drowning caused have spread to our own shores, since the late nobleman was connected by marriage with one of the most spectacular families of our social history, the Bradley-Aa tins.
 The ill-fated Earl. at the time sf the accident. wore his black pearl studs, regarded by his family as the agents of iIl-fortune.

 Yet this was a love match, so the goSSipS say.
 Perhaps that accounts for the un- broken years of domestic felicity that have followed, until the tragedy of the Earfs death.
 The passing of Cornelia Bradley Martins husband again arouses in terest in that resplendant couple, her parents, both of whom are now de- ceased.
 Mrs. Bradley-Martin was admitted ly a social genius. Her brilliant en- gineering of her daughters love af- fair with the Earl was followed by many other bold strokes which rais- ed her to the high position she de- sired.

 The Bradley-Martin ball has never been forgotten. This magnificent event, which cost a quarter of a million dollars, was given at the Waldorf-Astoria in 1S97 and was bitterly criticised by ministers and social workers of that day.

SUMMER HOLIDAYS
A merry heart doeth good like nedi-

cine-PROVERBS.
 What are the benefits to be derived from the yearly vacation, the yearly cessation from work?
 First, we get a change of occupa- tion for the mind; and a change of occupation means a certain kind of rest; and rest means refreshment CT both mind and body, recreation-that is, being created anew. Second, there is chaneg of habits, diet and air. These things bring zest to life and fresh enjoyment in eating, drinking and sleeping.
 Just as there is in everything a wrong and a right way, so in holiday making it is possible to be foolish turn from their annual outing in worse condition of mind and body than when they went away. What a pity this is for those who may be two weeks of the year; and who are all the year around looking forward to their all too brief vacations!
 The wife and mother oftentimes finds the Vacationing only a period of extra anxiety and worries. The bother of getting suitable lodgings, of pack ing for the family, the care of keep ing an eye over the children so that in their new environment they don't go padding beneath broiling sun, or over-eat with green fruit, or fall from the tree top, or into the sea-a thousand and one such distractions are like to deprive the poor mother of her sadly needed rest
 The best way is to find one good place once for all, and then to go back to that place summer after summer. Thus does the family get settled the first few hours; and it gets the good of the change without de- lay If the holidays be very short don't go far from home to a crowded place.
 Holidays to be helpful should be arranged with view to rest. Go into a quiet country Or seaside place. Be content to sit about in the open air. Don't exhaust yourself in she silly, nervous way many people af- feet Then when you return to the busy hum of city life, with it's un- ending toll you will feel that the "hoIy calm,' the restfuIness and the bless eedness of the country have done you body and soul.
