REpDY FOX VISITS JIMMY
 SKUNK

xfBobby Coon is afraid Yes, sir: Hobby Coon is afraidi He doesn't dare go with me to look at that half eaten chicken over on the green meadows. He's a coward, that's what he isl
 Reddy Fox muttered this to him. self as he trotted away from Bobby Coon's big hollow tree in the green forest Reddy was right and he was wrong. He was right in thinking that Bobby Coon was afraid. Bobby was afraid. but that didn't make him coward. You see, he couldn't see what good it would do him to go see that half eaten chicken way out there in the green meadows so far away from trees. You know, Bobby is like Happy Jack Squirrel-he never feels really safe unless there Is tree close at hand to climb, for Bobby's legs are not very long, and though he can run fast for a little distance, he soon gets out of breath Then he climbs the nearest tree. Bui if there had been any really od reason for going Bobby would have that shows that he wasn't a coward
 But Reddy Fox likes to think him self very brave, and every one else g coward, when the truth is Reddy is one of the greatest towards among all the little meadow and forest peo- pie So he trotted along with his nose turned up in scorn, because Bobby Coon was afraid. He was dis appointed too, was Reddy Fox. Yot see he had hoped to get Bobby to gt with him and when they got there to get Bobby to go close to the half eaten chicken and try and find ou who had left 1t there on the greer meadows and what for. Reddy. wh, is always suspicious, thought tha there might be a trap, and if ther' was. Bobby would find it. and theI Reddy would know without running any danger himself. That shows hov how much trouble Bobby Coon migh have gotten into SO long as he, Redd. Fox, found out what he wanted t know.
 But as long as Bobby wouldn't g there was nothing for Reddy to d but to try the same plan with Jimm Skunk, and he headed straight fo Jimmy Skunk's house. Now. dow Rscp in his heart Reddy Fox hate Jimmy Skunk, and more than one he tried to get Jimmy into trouble But now as he saw Jimmy sitting O his doorstep Reddy looked IS pleas ant as only Reddy can.

 Good morning, Reddy Fox. You are looking very fine and hand this morning. Of course, no one who is as big and brave as you are is afraid of the stranger with the ter rible voice who has frightened the rest of us for >the last few nights
 Now, all the time he was saying this Jimmy knew perfectly we'll that Reddy was afraid, and he turned his head to hide a smile, as Reddy sweiled himself up to look very big and important and replied:

So unpopular has this proved, that it is the
tax on which there seems universal agreement that
il should be abolished IT, instead there is this hid
den tax which one sees, but everyone pays. it is
quite sure to be far more unpopular All would pay
in proportion as they buy 1t would be equal in this
way for those who least and those who can best
afford to pay il. The rich would only pay as
they buy more, as the rate would be the same
Moreover, the psychological effect would be that
all buyers would blame il for high prices. They
would feel sure that more than the tax had been
added to the price of whatever they bought. Amer-
cans are not as whole used to paying taxes and
especially not direct Federal The potion for
the most of them has been sugar-coated and col

This sales tax, while collected from the dealer,
would be felt direct payment by the buyer every
day, and every time he went to the grocer, the
butcher or any other store. He would be told that
he had to pay, so his richer brother could escape.
Its wiekedness would be dilated upon Sometimes a
good thing is very unwsc thing, and becomes
bad thing. There is room at least to question if
sales tax in itself is good; certainly it seems unwise.

Wage Fixing.

THE railroad employees have notified President
i Harding that they ready to change the rules
OF their organization to meet objections raised
as to their effect in increasing of railroad oper
alton. This is a considerable concession 1t indi-
Gates an attitude of conciliaton.
The railroad men have charged extravaganza in
railroad management. In turn their rules have
been pointed out element in unnecessary
head. The offer of revision is not, however, Con
fcsson, since it has been known for time that
this was one concession they ready to make to
reach agreement
Labor has made several gains during the war.
1t used to be the fairly invarable rule that wages
went down with raw materials at any period of de-
preston and only up after the prices of every
thing else had advanced to a new high levels That
is, they used to be the first go down and the last
to 60 up.
But the war changed this 1t fixed rule that
the cost OF living must be reckoned material ele-
ment in wage scales simply full or oversupply of
men must not measure the wage to be paid This
seems to have stuck today wages arc found
among the last OF the factors in ultimate price, that
has gone down. This is it should be.

Steel which is the basis OF all industry ranks with
rents. Rents stay up because the housing supply is
far below the demand But steel stays up though
the mills are idle, while all other raw and semraw
materials are humping the sidewalks.
The one thing employers should avoid just now
is the appearance of forcing wages down regardless
of living costs and merely because of unemployment
This unemployment slack should be taken up largely
by public works. Another thing employers should
avoid is the appearance OF taking advantage OF the
present situation to overthrow labor organiza-
ton and collective bargaining. 1t is not wise to

SINGLE STORAGE BATTERY
nELTs EAR OF STEEL.

Melting a S-inch-square bar OF
steel with a single electric storage
battery Of 7o-amperes capacity was
the stunt performed by J. Lester
Woodbridge. chief engineer of the
Electric Storage Battery Company.
during q talk at the meeting Of the
Washington section Of the American
Institute OF Electrical Engieers At
the Cosmos Club last night. This
demonstration was made to show
that a battery is not damaged by
high rate of discharge OF the cur
rent. as lie commonly supposed.
All sorts and sizes Of batteries Of
the lead-sulphuric acid type were
described. The single cell motor
cycle battery, that weighs about
ten pounds. was contrasted with the
giant III ton submarine cell that
weighs 800 times as much.
Large storage batteries are used
to regulate current fluctuations in
city electric currents" Woodbridge
pointed out. Although the con-
sumner does not realize It, these
large cells linked in the circuits
take care OF sudden loads by fur
nishing 10000 TO $4,000 amperes in
stantly until other machinery can
be started" Large cities employ
dozens OF these big cells
A new type OF battery that has

trode enclosed in hard rubber tubes.
and which, IL Is claimed. has a life

lead and lead peroxide electrodes,
the grid on which these active ma
terials rest, the sulphuric acid elec-
trolyte, the sepsrstors. and the con-
tsiner. differ with various types and
uses Of storage batteries, was told
There is no need Of special elec-
trolytes or patented compounds 10

battery" said Woodbridge. in eE-
planning that "sulphating' was a
normal function OF the battery.

The United States has interests in

nave been adequately protected had

ana asserting these rights, the gov
ernment is seeking to maintain them
by process which gives IL no real
standing In court. and under which
t must appeal solely to the good
nature and Generous impulses of the
allied and associated powers. The
involvement" which Mr.. Harding is
seeking to avoid becomes in conse-
quence a hopeless ENHANCEMENT

ference, and the United States Is

CHINESE MADE PORCELAIN
IN TIME OF CHRIST

At about the time Of Christ"
the Chinese originated and pro-
duced porcelain" r. r. Geller told
the recent stan meeting Of the Bu-
reau Of Standards in a talk on the
manufacture Of porcelain. In
1900 A. d. IL was introduced to Eu-
rope by the Venetian. Marco Polo,
and IL is probable that the term
''chinswsre" originated at this
time. About three hundred years
later the Dutch were trading exten-
sively with the Chinese. porcelain
being the object Of the venture
The eXorbitsnt prices demanded led
to research on the part Of Euro
peans with the result that fritt por-
celain was produced by the French
in 1885, red porcelain by the Ger
mans in 1904. and bone china by
the English in 1854.
The most far reaching discov-
cry was made by John BottEer in
1903, resulting in the present hard
white porcelain Of Central Europe
The history of it's manufacture in
the United States does not date
back further than the year 1900.
but a decided impetus has been
given the industry by the recent
war"
True porcelains are white vitrined
bodies showing more or Iess trans
luccncy, he explained. They are
composed Of clay substance, quartz
and feldspsr. After firing the
microstructure shows: Flint and
clay dissolved in a mstriN Of field
spar: crystalline sillimsnite; undis-
solved quartz and clay. together
with smorphouS sillimanite.
There are six main classes Of
true porcelsins." said GelIer The
FIRST is tableware. OF which the
high-fre type is made almost eN-'
clusively by the Germans and Aus
trians. Low-nre varieties arc made
by the French and Americans. and
bone china is practically confined
to England. A limited amount Of
fritt china is made BY Scvres in
France for decorative purposes.
Sanitary porcelain Is used in the
manufacture Of bath-tubs and wash
basins. while a special type OF body.
very high in feIdspar. is used in
making floor and wall tile. parisn
OF statuary, and also porcelain
teeth.
Electrical porcelains must be
very strong and have no meehani-
cal defects. Il is used in lamp
sockets and wire clamps, a. well ss
in insulating the very high tension
lines which are used In conducting
electrical power"
