NOPOLL TAXFOR
 K-SERV|CE MEN
Such Is Substance of the Bill Pending In Alabama
 Legislature

Members of the Jefferson county delegation in the legislature called upon the commander of Post No. l.. American legion to prepare an amendment to the constitution ex- emptIng eX-service men from the payment of poll tax to take the place of the amendment which was en- acted in 1919 and which was later stricken out by the supreme court.
 The bill as drawn by the Post Com manuer provides that any man or woman who served in the army, navy, or marine corps at any time between April $. 19lt, when war was uecIared. and November Il. 1915, when the armlstice was signed, anu >wno have an honorable discharge rom the service snail be exempt rom the payment of poll tax. This uiu further provides that such ex- service man or woman shall be eH- empt for life.
 The Post CommandeN in dra wing this bin felt that the only possi ole objection to the life eXefI p'lOn provision was that the school fund viii be affected because poll taxes go to that fund. In answer to this objection he holds that there is no reason why any man or woman who cares to cannot go ahead and pay lneir poll tax of $1.5O each year just as if the exemption amendment mad never been. He. feels that hundred of men and women will be encour aged to vote and exercise their high est right of citizenship under the exemption who otherwise might never do so at all,
 The Post Commander believes even as small as the poll tax Is. great many disabled soldiers would find it's payment a burden. He was de- lighted with the privilege of drafting the bill requested by the legislators.

COUNTRY SUFFERS FOR RIVER -HtRbOR
 APPROPRIATIONS
Only S600,0C0 Remains of Meagre Appropriation for Fiscal Year 1922, and
 This for Emergency

Washington. october s.-(Specill) Failure of the republican Congress for the past two years to make ade- quate appro 'pritions for river and harbor improvement and maintenance has brought bout serious situations in practically every section of the country, and the war department Is being besieged with urgest requests for additional funds to care for 'ong- delayed projects.
 Prior to the WAT the appropriation annually for rivers and harbors was approximately s45,000,000. but, due largely to the propaganda of recent years, charging that these appro opria- tions were pork barrel" Legislation. the estimates of the department for the past two years have been reduced to less than one-third of the amounts requested.
 For the fiscal year 1921 only s12,- 400, 900 was appropriated when the ,s- inmates of the war department called for s42.s41,565, and for the fiscal year 1922 Congress appropriated only 15,250o00 when the department asked for $57.114.915. In former years the various projects throughout the country were specifically provided for, but these lump sum appropria- tions have been allotted according to the commerce and needs of the va rious ports and improvements. In no instance has the amount sllotted been sufficient to meet the actual needs.
 Small Amount Left.
 Of the lump sum appropriation for the fiscal year 1922 only about s600,- 900 remains which enc department is holding for emergency cases, and this must run until July of next year.

Demand for Sheets Enables Mills to
 Increase Operations
By Associated Press

New York, October S.--There has been a fair demand for steel nal lIy for sheets. which has enabled mills to increase operations, and they are now running from 70 to 80 per cent of capacity. but on other sorts are working only about 70 per cent of capacity. There has been a fair in- quiry for black sheets from the far east. Demand for wire products and tin plates has lessened.
 The features in pig iron was the closing of big order to New Eng land heating concern. Consumers are fairly well covered for the mo- ment. but the trade is hoping for improvement in the near future. The output of pig iron in September was about 9S5,529 tons, against 954.194 in August, and as more blast furnaces have opened a greater output is ex pected in October
 Copper has shown continued inn provement during the week A bet ter demand has developed for wire and other products. and it is esti- mated that so far this month sales for export and home consumption have aggregated fully 25.000.00O pounds. Estimates of September sales are heard ranging from s5,000. GOO to 100 ,000,0O0 pounds. and it is believed that production of blister In the United States during Septem- ter did fnot exceed 30,000, 900 pounds. while imports were about 26.000. 900. This strengthening of the statisti- cal position has been reflected In the attitude of sellers, and it is report ed that the export association has advanced it's price for electrolytic to 13e c. 1. f. Hamburg.
 Lead has been less active. but firm, particularly as to future deliveries.
 Tin showed an improvement of about iac in response to an advance of sterling and more interest on the part of consumers.
 Zinc has been strong and advanc- ing on continued good consuming demand.

Is Psychology to Blame for Separation Of Rich
 Chicago Society Couple
Friends of Pair Wondering If EghtYear Study in Swift zerland Responsible for McCormick's
 Domestic Estrangement

reports of her separation from her husband were absurd. MT, McCormi ok fixed the reports with a finality of grim realism by a formal statement that he no longer resided under the same roof with his wife. All of which gave rather strange setting to Mrs McCormick's statement of the day be- fore.
 T will give my message to the world when the time Is right" she said. All l can say now Is that syn thetic psychology will solve all prob lems of business and domestic life. It Is founded on infinite understand ing-a consciousness of the subcon- sciousness. All perplexities and wor- .ries of existence are dispelled by it."
 synthetic psychology was a pow CT for most of Chicago's social and intellectual set. 1t sent them scurry- ing to the dictionaries to find out just what the application of the ad- jectlye synthetic could be to the ordi- nary common or garden style of psy- chology. II must be admitted Chi cago's mind has been rather full late ly of stories of synthetic gin and other means of beating the eight eenth amendment. So that synthetic to the ordinary Chicago mind has been associated with something in imitation of the real. But the dic- tionaries reassured them. They found that enthusiastically speaking synthetic is the innate moral principle or sense of right and wrong which impels men toward good and withholds them from evil; the moral rule or law in which conscience is the particular in- stance or application. They found further. logically speaking. a syn thetic proposition is a proposition in which the predicate adds something not contained In the subject This, of course. made everything perfectly plain and prepared Chicago for an other and more complete statement of her views by Mrs. Mccormick. Here, in her own language, is her illustration of the theory of synthetic phychology:
 Mind and Furniture
 Let us compare the mind to a house and it's thoughts to the furni- ture 1t contains. Some of the furni- ture is unsightly, covered with dust broken or ugly. We clean 1t all out throw 1t away-and the mind is clear But we must replace the fur niture or the house Is useless. So we place beautiful new piece here, and another there, until the house is habitable again.
 "Of course, the furniture we throw out are the old worries. understood in psychology as repressions. The more difficult work Is the introduc- tion of newer ideals. The extent to which patient suffers depends en- tirely on how much of the furniture cluttering up his brain Is ugly and broken down. Sometimes 1t Is only one piece.
 You would be surprised to dis- cover how delightful some persons can be when they have had their brains renovated in this way-all the

Every section of the country Is mak- ing urgent appeal for additional al lotments from this amount.
 When the river and harbor bill for 1921 was before the Senate. Senator Pat Harrison, who has led the fight for two years for increased appro priations for rivers and harbors. sue ceeded in having an amendment adopted to increase the amount from s20, ,0O0.000 to s24.000, 900. The bill as passed the House carried only S12,- 400, ,000, and the Senate committee oh commerce increased the amount to $2O, ,000. 900. However the House would not agree to the Senate in creases and the bill as finally passed carried only SIP, 900.
 "A short sighted policy" said Sen ator Harrison. makes it impossible for the government properly to main tain Improvements already completed. Thus they are jeopardized. Additional improvements are out of the question altogether"
