take the amount of your income, add
your personal property, subtract your

add your wife's height and divide by
your telephone number.
You will then carry your minus, sep
arated from your plus, to schedule G,
on the tenth line of which you will
subtract the multiple, which you put
on line X, schedule X, entering in col
umn A,
If you have child in the family
subtract 5000 from your income, add

At Cliffside High
With "Corkey''

The baseball team annexed its third
straight victory on Wednesday, when
they defeated the Emerson nine at
Fletcher field.
The team work is. getting better
every game, the rough parts have
been readjusted and there is little
doubt but that this machine of Coach
Sporting will lead home the rest of
the teams III the northern New Jersey
lnterscholastic League this year.
1t was found on Wednesday that
Mr.. Sporting has another good pitcher
to depend on in "Wally" Macdonald,
who pitched splendid game against
Emerson.
With Bonelli eligible to play again
beginning with Tuesdays game
against Newark Academy, there will
be four pitchers with which the
schedule may be finished. Toney
Giantonio will pitch the hardest
games, while Borrelli, Macdonald
and Lefty Smith will help with the
work
Frank CaSteIlanoS services will be
lost for several games, as he cut one
of his fingers during the past week,
and four stitches were made Oh it.
At present Giantonio and HOuk are
fighting almost neck and neck for
the batting honorS.

NO RAINBOW AFTER DELUGE
Johns Hopkins University Professor
Explains How the Historic Mis-
understanding Came About

The rainbow after the deluge, de-
scribed in the book of Genesis BIB,
was not a rainbow after all, but a
collection of great fy-brushes Of the
ancient oriental gods, declares Prof.
Paul Hhupt of Johns Hopkins univer-
sity. Announcement Of his discovery
was made by Doctor Haupt at Couch
er college, at a session of the American
Oriental society, which held it's one
hundred and thirty-third conclave in
Baltimore.
The mistake in Genesis, said Pro
fessor Haupt, probably is due to a
misunderstanding of a character on
one of the old cuneifOrm tablets. The
word is "bow," which could very
easily be mistaken for "fy BRUSH" he
said. These huge feather brushes
were in vogue among the old rulers in
Assyria and Egypt, and were regard
ed as ancient symbols of sovereignty
in the Orient.
According to Doctor Haupt, the an
clients naturally gave their gods credit
for having fy-brushes, and, in fact in
line 1874 Of the flood tablet the word
"fy brush" appears as big as life.
The passage says that "When Istar
sees the gods gather around the Of
ferer like a swarm of flies because
there had been no offerings during
the dood), she is so incensed that she
takes the great fy-brushes of her IA
Their, Anu (king of the gods), to drive
away the gods"

Britons Have New TELEPHONE.

A new telephone device already in
actual use in England is the larynga-
phone, a transmitter in which a disk
is placed against the throat of the
speaker and the sound is transmitted
by the vibration of the vocal chords,
says a London dispatch to the New
York Tribune. 1t is suitable for use
In noisy factories and workrooms
where the ordinary telephone mouth
piece transmitter would pick up the
other sounds in the room and so pre-
vent conversation.
In appearance the laryngaphone re-
sembles the ordinary telephone except
that there is a smooth rounded rub
Der disk instead Of mouthpiece. The
receiver is the same and the messages
are received in the ordinary speaking
voice.

Dress and Insurance Rates.

Swiss women who wear short skirts
higher rates of life insurance than
those who do not The Swiss insurance
companies have announced that in fix
ing the premiums on policies of wom-
ems lives they will take into considera-
ton the women's wearing apparel. The
lete, the higher the insurance rate will
be.
The Swiss companies justify this &C.
ton on the ground Of a great increase
of illness and disease among their
women clients which they claim is due
to the wearing Of short skirts and low
necked dresses.

LABOR TO SPEND TWO
MILLION DOLLARS ON
PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN

The A. +. of l.. convention in Den
yer promises a two million dollar
campaign of publicity in behalf of
union labor The public is to be
given the ''other side" of problems
that result from disagreements be-
tween employees and employers. IL
is TO be handled along modern pub
licty lines, in the daily press and in
magazines of national circulation,
thus reaching those who have no de-
sire or call to subscribe for or read
those publications devoted solely to
the labor cause We cannot but won
der what effect II will have upon the
average American mind that is far
too often blinded by prejudices for
or against labor. We recall the strike
OF the coal miners and the persistent
misunderstanding that existed at
the time. The miners demand for
minimum six-houre day or a 30-hour
week, a demand that merely meant
that they would force a guarantee
that would insure that much employ
ment during the week, and as much
more as possible, even to sixty hours
IL conditions warranted during the
busy season, was persistently mis-
construed In both news and editorial
columns to such an extent that labor
as whole and the mine workers In
particular, become the object of bitter
criticism and abuse. And this be-
cause the miners were attempting to
lengthen rather than shorten their
workday and by so doing increase the
production of coal and cheaper the
n h0 Lot nc
proven in a congressional inyestiga-
ton that the operators and mine
owners had used the Associated
Press and other news agencies along
propaganda lines to create this inn
preston and add to the belief that a
fuel famine was due to the en-
ployees' position. An intelligent ag-
gresslye campaign giving publicity to
situation of this nature would doubt
less bring results. The position of
union labor in the public mind today
u due to the persistent featuring of
me acts of the radical, irresponsible
minority in the press and the ig-
horanee OF the people regarding its
many meritorious acts, programs and
Dig accomplishments.
Publicity is acknowledged to be the
most pressing need of the Federation.
without publicity, no movement is
understood by those outside the union
movement, and by but few in it. AS
.ne newspapers and magazines Of ma
uohai circulation are to be employed
70 Keep the public informed on ma
tlonal questions Affecting labor, so
must the local labor paper keep the
local public informed on local affairs
every business man in every local
ny should be subscriber to the local
iaoor paper He is as an employer,
Interested in the labor movement He
should become acquainted with aims
ana objects of the labor movement,
ana should not depend upon any out
que source for his information upon
Lals subject Many serious misunder-
LANDINGS could be averted if the bust
less public were equally as well in
formed upon both sides of the ques-
ton.
