AND LAUNCHES
 IMMUNE FROM GAS TAX
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, April 7.-Those who use gasoline for farm tractors or gasoline launches do not have to pay the tax provided for in the act passed by the recent legislature, placing a tax of 1c per gallon on gasoline. The attorney general has received numer- ous letters regarding the interpreta- ton of the act. In reply to one of these letters, General Utley said:
 q do not understand that the pur- chaser of gasoline for a stationary engine is required to pay the tax. Also while for some purposes a river is highway, it is not my opinion that it was the intention of the legislature to include this in the gasoline law, for it is well known that the purpose of the tax is to provide fund for the construction and maintenance of pub lie roads.
 "As to the question of one purchas- ing gasoline for stationary engine and then using same for motor ve- hicle over the highways, will say that he would violate the law. There seems to be no punishment provided, how ever. except against the man whose duty is not being used properly, it occurs to me that he could protect himself by making the purchaser sign an affidavit as to the use to which he will put it."

never consented to such an assior ment.
 Mr. Wilson said that on several oc- caSions he had made specific reserva- uons regarding the Island of Yap and had taken the position that it sbould not be assigned under any mandate to any one power, but should be inter- natlonalized for cable purposes.
 Secretary Hughes insisted in his note that any omission to make pro- test against the assignment of Yap to Japan could not operate as a ces- slon of its rights since the proceed lngs of the supreme council did not and could not have fnality.

MINSTREL COMPANY
 WAS DISAPPOINTMENT

Those unfortunate ones who trudq- ed through the rain last night to wit ness the performance of the Alabama Minstrels, seem to prefer this morn ing that the minstrels had remained In the state from which they get their name. According to those who at
 tended last night, the show was more of a "burlesque" performance than a minstrel. After the manager saw that all were under the perforated canvas that were coming, he left the tent and went back to his car and went to bed with $200 in cash made off the people at a dollar per head. The performers CD then proceeded to enact lame one-horse stunt of three hasty acts and the crew began raging the tent even before the minia.. ture performance was over, which re- suited in about seven cents worth of show This was the place where the law should have stepped in and de- manded the peoples money be re- turned to them. The minustrels had all the appearance of being a fairly good outfit but the cheap trick pulled on the people who did go through the mud to see what they had, has queered the Alabamians with Prescott people.

 IN PLANT LIFE, IS CLAIM
Special to The News.

Little Rock, April 7.-Governor McRae is in receipt of letter from Charles R. Montgomery of Mena, who says that he has discovered a process by which he can at will place any shade of light under any kind of plant and directly effect the colors of the bloom as we'll as the fruit. He says that in some instances it "works like magic, the effect is so great" He has found the solution to the color mys- tery in plant life and claims to be able to apply and control it at will. Being able to supply any amount of any or all colors to any or all plants. He says that his discovery is highly practical in orchards, gardens, flow CTS and truck growing. It is one of the most effective fertilizers furnish ing the plant life with just what it requires for healthy growth and the highest production. It also gives the plant a greater power of resistance to destructive insect life. When ap- piled to a rose or other flower, it per- fleets the color and makes it more beautiful with softer and richer tints. He has not yet patented his process, but expects to do so, and in the mean time wants an opportunity of demon strating his process on some of the state demonstration farms. eff can do what claim for this" says he, "you can see it ought to be on the market at the earliest possible date"

uuches Strengthens Wilson's Contention in Yap Dispute Note to Britain, France, Italy and Japan.

washington, April 6.-Failure of .ho Tinted States to ratify the treaty 4 Versailles will not be allowed to ,otract from this country's right to
 nortcipate in peace settlements, Sec retary Hughes declares in notes ad- dressed to Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan.
 The note to Japan differed from Tho other three in that it referred more especially to the Japanese man. date over the Island of Yap. All four of them reiterated the contention that the United States had sacrificed no rights in the peace settlement by reason of it's unwillingness to join the league of nations.
 "The fact that the United States has not ratified the treaty of Yer sailles," the notes said, "cannot de- tract from rights which the United States had already acquired, and it is hardly necessary to suggest that a treaty to which the United States is not a party could not affect those rights.
 It should be noted that the treaty of Versailles did not purport to se- cure to Japan, it was pointed out, or to any other nation any right in the overseas possessions of Germany ex- cept that an equal right should be se- cured to the United States.
 Article 119 of the treaty provides, Mir. Hughes said, that Germany re- nounces in favor of the principal al- lied and associated powers all her rights and titles in her overseas pos sessions. The secretary then empha- sized that the United States is one of the principal allied and associated powers, and that the position of the government of Japan could derive no strength from the treaty of Versailles or from any discussion preliminary to it.
 The attitude of former President Wilson upon the disposition of Tap was set forth in a statement which he made to the State Department on March 3, 1921. The former president was quoted as saying that his first Information of a contention that the "so-called decision of May ', 1919," by the council of four, assigning Yap to Japan, was given to him by Nor man Davis. MT. Wilson then said that he informed Mr. Davis he had

London, April 6.-The great indus trial crisis with which Great Britain was faced this n orning as a result of the bitter wage war between the mine owners and the miners with strikes by the railway men and the transport workers, in addition to the miners strike, threatening the public, has found at least temporary relief.
 At the eleventh hour, MT. Lloyd George, the prime minister, inter- vened with an invitation to both sides of the mining dispute to meet repre- sentatives of the government and re- open negotiations. After serious de- liberation the contending forces de- cided to accept the mediation offer
 The acceptance of the premier's in- vitation, it is pointed out, can be talk en only to mean that the colleagues of the miners in the triple alliance the railroad men and the transport workers-will take no active meas ures to support the miners while the peace negotiations are proceeding.
 Decision to support the British miners in their strike was reached by the Transport Workers Fedora tion at a meeting held before the ne- gotiations were agreed on.
 The vote taken by the transport workers was unanimously in favor of lending aid to the miners. It was de- cided to meet in conference imme- diately with delegates of the Ma tional Union of Railway Men and the Miners Union for the purpose of se- curing action on the strike situation by the triple alliance.

CARELESSNESS WILL
LESSEN TIRES LIFE
Motorists Continue to Disregard
Simple Rules.
determination, Scrapng Along Curb
Stones and Dumping Into Curbs
and Distractions Are Among
Common Abuses.

Tires have improved so much In quail
ity in recent years that even when
abused good tire gives such a good
mileage that the motorist is usually
satisfied that he got his moneys
worth.
But motorists continue to show dis
regard for a few simple rules, and
their carelessness greatly Increases
their tire bills. The three ways in
which this carelessness manifests it
self chiefly are underinhation. scrap
ing along curb stones and humping
into curbs and distractions, accord
ing to the observations of the service
department of one of the largest tire
companies.
Improper imitation costs more than
all other faults put together. BY the
simple expedient of taking the trouble
once a week to make sure that each
tire Is sufficiently inflated, a car
owner will add amazingly to the mile
age he gets from his tires.
Under this head it is we'll to repeat
the old admonition the tires should be
pumped to the same figure in summer
as in winter. The expansion of the air
in the tires In hot weather is so in
tinitesimal that 1t should be entirely
disregarded, and the tire pumped up
to the prescribed figure
Scraping along a curb is an exceed
tngly common form of tire abuse. An
evidence of the commences of this
practice may be found by noticing the
number of tires that are peeled or
Scraped on the outer side of the tire
while the inner side is in perfect con
dition.
Dumping tire into a curb, particu-
larry when underinfated, Is one of the
most serious forms of mistreatment.
for 1t causes breaks in a fabric founda-
ton which quickly bring the tires use
fulness to an end.

SIMPLE IDEA FOR CALENDAR
Vermont Man Tells of Arrangement
by Which 1t Is Easy to Find
Date Wanted.

The following simple method of
finding the day of the week for any
date in month, when the first day
Of January is known, has been hand
ed down among us for two centuries.
Surprising that the new year be-
gins on Wednesday, we place that day
opposite the latter a, with the follow
ing days opposite the next six letters,
and with Tuesday opposite G. The
first days of the II months are OPP
poSite the initials of this sentence
"At Dover dwell George Brown, Esq,
good Carlos Finch and David Friar."
For the ordinary year the initial
days Of the months, as above, are
Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday
Thursday, Sunday. Tuesday, Friday
Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and
Monday.
As the first, eighth, fifteenth, TWEEN
ty-second and the twenty-ninth day in
each month are on the same day of
the week, it follows that the LIST of
December and the Doth fall on F and
the 31st on A. The first and last day
of each year, excepting leap year, fall
on the same day of the week. For
leap year use the seven letters, be-
ginning A with the week day that
stood originally for B on New Years
day.-Edward II. Williams Jr., Yves.

Inconvenience of Crawling Under

When trouble occurs either with the

To partially overcome this condi-

Two wedge-shaped pieces were con-

feet long by two feet high in the rear.
The inclined ends of the timbers were
fastened together by lag screws and
the vertical backs secured to each
other by a length of strap iron. The
horizontal surface of the uppermost
timber was followed out to receive the
tire and the strap iron was continued

a resultant public inconvenience and

ITO correct this evil it has been
decided to conduct a nationwide
campaign with view to having
every building properly numbered
and equipped with suitable recep-
tacle or opening in the door.
AS a preliminary step, on Octo-
Der 10, 1921, the postmaster of every
post office having city or village de-
livery service will require his car
riers to report the address of every
dwelling and place of busiess on
their routes not so numbered and

Worth Ones Salt.

The phrase mot worth his salt" dates
back to the time when salt was regu-
larry doled out to the soldier as part
of his pay, and ones rank was desig-
mated by his place at the table In ref.
erence to the position of the salt-mem.
bers of the family and hOnored guests
being placed above the salt, while re.
tainers and servants sat below it. The
Arab considers as sacred the guest
who has partaken of his salt, a custom
that might well be adopted elsewhere.
In Africa handful of salt will pur.
chase a bride, and while we have all
heard of those rare mortals who are
worth their weight in gold, or whose
price is above rubies, apparently no
one in that section has achieved the
distinction of being worth his weight
In salt. What find Lots wife would

RICH IN HISTORIC INTEREST
City Of ssnto Domingo Crowded With
Landmarks Connected With the
Famous Conquistadores.

Santo Domingo is rich in historic
interest. 1t is the oldest of all the
permanent settlements of AmericaG
soil. Here Columbus founded various
colonies, and Santo Domingo city be-
came his favorite of all the New
world. 1t was here that he spent
some Of the happiest time of his lie,
and here that he was reduced to pris
on by his political enemies, and from
here he was sent in chains and dis
grace TO Spain. The Old tower where
he was imprisoned still remains, and
his bones lie in the great cathedral Of
Santo Domingo city.
In this oldest city of the New
world one still sees the remains OF
the first church built in America. It's
foundations were laid in 1902. Here
is the house where COrtez kept tie
court records before he had ever
heard of Mexico From here Ponce
de Leon set out in his search for the
Fountain of Youth. Here lived Piz-
faro before he went to Panama, and
sailed down the west coast to con
Quer the Inca empire. Everywhere
one turns he encounters old land
marks where the famous conqus-
tadOres had their first experiences in
the New world.
Padre lie las Casas entered the
priesthood here, and in his indigna-
ton because of the abuse of the In
dams by the Spaniards began to i'm
port slaves from Africa to make light
er the work Of the Indian laborers.
Here was founded the first university
of the New world when in 1888 a
royal charter was granted for the es-
adjustment of the University of St.
Thomas.
