his an Embarrassment of Riches?

This record smashing in the accu-

the economists who tell US that the
inflow of the gold to the United States

an important factor in cheapening the
dollar and increasing prices.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale unlver-

More Than One Way to Pay Income Tax

A PPROXIMATELY S20,0OO,OO0 was

fraudulent income tax returns, Com
missioner Blair announced recently.
Indictments have been returned dur

country, he said, and many jail SEN
fences have been imposed, ranging
from GO days to year, in addition to
the fines and penalties.
Fraud upon the government by
filing false and fraudulent tax returns
appears in many unique ways" Mr..
Blair said. "Some taxpayers are ex-

reduce their taxes by merely omit

five feet wide. They were placed on
a carefully prepared bed Of alternate

surrounded by several stone altars.
On these, appropriate sacrifices were

Of fire all about. Some half-burned

They were evidently of considerable
age, but of later origin than the
bundle" burials. In fact, all the
bones in this group of mounds showed
extreme signs Of decomposition. 1t
was necessary to paint" them all with
a transfusing fluid the minute they
were exposed to the air. These two
skeletons were perhaps the remains
of people who had died during the
construction of the mounds and were
given burial in the top of them.

Glanced that, just as Hugh was hold
ing the postoftice pencil up, and gaz-
ing at its sO-called point with an air
Of resigned anguish, the perfectly Or
binary man ceased chatting and
looked at him. Hugh caught his eye
for feeting second; then the con-
versatiOn continued. And as he turned
to pull out the pad Of forms, It struck
him that the man had looked away
just a trifie too quickly.
A grin spread slowly over his face,
and after a moments hesitation he
proceeded to compose a short wire.
He wrote Il in black letters for addi-
tional clearness; he also pressed his
hardest. as betting a blunt pencil.
Then with the form in his hand he ad-
vanced to the counter.
"HOw long will II take to deliver
in LondonT r. he asked the girl.
The girl was not helpful. Il de-
pended, he gathered, on a variety Of
circumstances, Of which not the least
was the perfectly ordinary man who
talked so charmingly.
II don't think I'll bother, then"
he said, thrusting the wire into his
pocket. "GoOd morning. :"
He walked to the door, and shortly
afteeward his car rolled down the
street.
With what the girl considered pecu-
liar abruptness, the perfectly ordinary
man concluded his conversation with
her, and decided that he too would
send a wire. And then, aftsr a long
and thoughtful pause at the writing
bench, she distinctly heard an unmis-
taxable 'D-n." Then he walked out,
and she saw him no more.
Moreover, 1t is to be regretted that
the perfectly ordinary man told a lie
little later In the day, when giving
his report to some one whose neck ap-
parently inconvenienced him greatly.
But then a lie is frequently more
tactful than the truth. and to have
announced that the sole result Of his
mornings labors had been to decipher
q wire addressed to The Elms, which
contained the cryptic remark, "Stune
again. stiff neck, stung again." would
not have been tactful. So he lied
as has been stated, thereby showing
his wisdom.
But though DrummOnd chuckled to
himself as the car rushed through the
fresh morning air, once or .twice q

ment shone in his eyes. For four
years he had played one game where

Too Good a Chance to Lose.

The French chancellor, Henri Fran
co.'s d'Aguesseau, to whom his native
country owes much for his enduring
improvements in its legal conditions,
never would come to a decision with
out at first minutely examining and
questioning everything bearing upon
the matter. His son, who was also a
lawyer, was exactly the opposite, and,
moreover, paid no attention to his
fathers excellent example.
One day. during heated argument
between the two, the young man. who
expected to give his father a sharp
thrust, said sarcastically. my dear
father, you know everything but de-
eide about nothing"
"And you, my son, know nothing but

Only One Pilot for the National Aircraft

The position of President Harding
in the matter is that amalgamatlOn

One great difficulty pertaining TO the
present separate aircraft services tla'
has IMPRESSED him is that there Is no
systematic method OF awarding coh-
tracts for the construction of aircraft
One branch awards contracts without
regard to any other government ar
craft organization, and the President
believes that this is detrimental to the
upbuilding Of private aircraft manu-
facture in the United States.
The aircraft manufacturers are de-
pendent almost entirely on govern
ment patronage, as cOmmerclal ue-
mandS are small, and it is claimed
that unless the government so ar
ranges its contracts as to distribute
contracts among all those concerns
which produce aircraft meeting gov
eminent standards, some of them may
be obliged to go out of business.
In these circumstances President
Harding is understood to feel that o
central government aircraft Organiza-
ton will be better able to determine
how contracts should be awarded for
the entire government.
Inference is drawn from what
is learned Of the Presidents position
that he is in favor of the amalgama-
