May and June, shows an output OF
30l 1916 Ford cars and trucks, against
220,S7S for the same three months Of
last year, or net Increase Of S09lS
Despite the tact however, that the
Ford plants have been running Az
maximum capacity. the demand for
Ford cars and trucks Is not being met,
and at the present time many thou
sand untitled orders have been piled
ahead, so that Ford sales are sim linz
tied by manufacturing facilities rather
than marketing possibilities. Partic-
nlarly Is this true with respect to en-.
closed cars, for which the demand has
been unusually heavy.
One reason cited by Ford officials
for the unprecedented demand for
Ford cars Is the present tendency to!
ward economy. Many Of those whose
names have been added to the long
list Of buyers might well have afford
ed larger and more costly cars than
the Ford, but 1t Is the belief that mos.
prospective motor car buyers are in
vestigating all OF the costs incident
TO motoring much more carefully than
at any period during the past five
years.
The estimated output Of the Ford
factories for July calls for l09 900
cars and trucks, or production OF
| 1860 day for twenty-five days. Sinca

CANADIAN INDIANS .
EAT HUMAN FLESH

Fort McMurray, Alberta, July s.
Canadian mounted police left here to
investigate reports that starving In
dams in the Caribou tribe have been
eating human flesh. The report states
that human bones were found showing
evidence of cannibalism.
A few years ago, officials state,
caribou We're so plentiful that the In.
dams ate only the tongues of the ami.
mails which they held as a delicacy
They slaughtered the animals in

at that time by officials of the Cana

soon disappear and starvation would
be faced by the aborigines.

as there are no provisions for an APP
peal from Il decision Of the railway
labor board, and the only remedy lies
in legislation by congress And it Is
recognized that labOr's strength at the
capitol Is not nearly as great as when
the Adam9on law was passed.
"The ruling Of the railway labor
board relative to punitive overtime
changes the railroad labor situation,
said labor leader, "The big four
brotherhoods have been conservative
heretofore. only the shop crafts and
other organizations have been aggres
sive and threatening,
But now neither In principle nor

There is one point about the Turkish proposals, which British opinion ought instantly to grasp. That Is, that they really involve our abandoning all at tempt to guarantee the freedom of the Straits, and resigning at once more to the uncontrolled custody of the Turks. After what resulted from their custody in the war-the tragedy of Gallipoli, the tragedy of Rumania, and the final tradgedY of Russia-it is hardly to be expected that Great Britain should viey such a prospect lightly.

 You see, her daughter Dorothy, in stead of marrying the son of Mrs. Grim blepatch's girlhood friend as the moth- CTS had romantically planned, is mary ing instead a young man they have known for only five years, and her mother is all upset about it.

DISTRIBUTING 11srIGRANrs.

The ldea or bringing about q better distribution of the immigrants that come to this country has been frequently urged. The fact is that too little attention has been given to this matter in the past and the newcomers have been permitted to locate in large centers among large num- hers of their own nationality 50 that they maintain their own language and customs and have little opportunity and practically no encouragement to get acquainted with and adopt American ways, to nix with Americans and to acquire cur language
 In this connection is directed to the at titude of W. W. Husband, the new com missioner general of immigration, who feels that the immigrants should be di- verted from the industrial centers to the farms. He maintains that there is plen- ty of land in the country for the estab- lishment of millions of farms. such as land in the west that the department of the interior is opening up, swamp lands in other sections covering large acreages which could be made fit for use while there are large tracts of waste land that can be utilized as well as many abandon ed farms which ought to be occupied. It is to be realized that there are many immigrants who seek places in the eoun- try and make good, and there Is no doubt but what others would do 50 if they were inclined that way, but finding a place where the immigrants ought to go and where it is felt they are needed is decid- edly different from getting them to break away from the industrial centers and take up with farm life Without any l question there is need of the distribution, Organized steps could have been taken in that direction with profit long time ago and it will be an excellent thing if il can be accomplished now by the new i'm. migration commissioner. It Is not one oi those things that will be easy of accom-. plishment, yet conscious of the need and impressed with the demand for betterin existing conditions 1t must be regarded that the new commissioner takes hold 6,
 his job and settles down to his task ir
 the proper spirit. That Is what brings results and 1t is to be hoped that he sue, l ceeds.

THE INCOME TAX

Within a short time it will be learned what the total amount of income tax col- iected from the people of the country un- uer the income tax law for the past year will amount to. Not only will it be shown what the amount paid the government on the first payment date was but it will be disclosed what the total income tax is. Because of those who pay in full or, the hrst payment date the March collections can be depended upon to be the largest but where nearly $91e,o00, 900 were paid in by the 18th of March last year it does not mean that any such sum is antici- pated this year.
 Conditions for the past year have not been what they were for the year previ- ous- Income has dropped. There may be some Who paid an income tax this week upon their income for 1920 who had never previously been required to meet such tax, but that number will be many times offset by those who paid a tax in March, 1920, whose income for the past year did not require them to do so this week For the same reason there will be much difference shown in the amounts paid by income tax payers last year and that which their returns this year call Tor. While wages may not have taken 30 much of tumble during 1920 there was large amount of idleness which amounts to the same thing or worse while the big incomes connected with the war have gone where the woodbine twineth.
 The government looks for a large sum from the income tax and it will get if but expectations are that there will be a tuostantial decrease shown and there is 10 reason to expect any disappointment With conditions on normal or a stable basis it would be reasonable to antici- pate that the collections would vary less than they can be expected to with the conditions what they have been durine he period for which the income tax ha. hist been collected. The collections however, will reflect quite clearly tn, slump in business and industrial cendi ions and can be pointed to as the effec
