Sinq Sinu Indian Name.

Sing Sing prison, the stone, or
rather dOlOmite marble hastile at Os-
shining, n. Y, Is rather appropriately
named, according to authorities who
trace the word back to the Indian Ian
guage, and find that 1t means stony
place. The town itself was originally
called Sing Sing 1t is beautifully sit
uated on the Hudson and commands,
from its elevated site, many fine views.
1t was settled by white people about
$685.
Some authorities say the Sin Sinck
Indians were Whereabouts at that time.
and attribute the name of the city to
them. The prison was built there in
1926, when Capt. Elan Lynds took 100
convicts there and gave them orders
to wall themselves in.
In 1901 the town, after several un-
successful attempts, changed Its name
to Ossining, because of objections due
to the association of its name with the
prison.

LAKE is NATURAL WONDER
Body of Water That Has Many Re.

North Australia.

Lake Eyre is one of the wonders OF
the continent. The district is actually
below the level of the sea, yet in the
near neighborhood of the lake are
some fine springs of water that may
be considered fresh in that cattle will
drink from them. So, too, can drovers,
though the water has medicinal eff
feet which prejudices them in their
appraisal of its value.
IN the center of the lake Is an
island of rare beauty. legend Is

Big Drop In Taxes.
Individual And Corporate In
comes Are Heavily
Reduced.

Washington, March 14,-Income
and corporation tax returns, thus far
received by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue and as so far analysed, in
dictate that the income of the Govern
ment for the current year will be
enormously reduced.
Although Treasury officials, from
their own knowledge of business con-
ditions during the greater part of the
year 1920, we're led to expect some
pronounced reduction in Federal re-
ceipts. they were not prepared for the
contraction which is shown in the
figures now on hand.
In official quarters today 1T was
stated that the returns from internal
taxation this year, based, of course,
on last years business, will fall ST.
50O,OOO,O0O below the returns OF
1920 as based upon the business done
in 1919.
Some discouraged officials would
not be surprised if the reduction is
even greater than 81, 800, 100000.
Should the last minute returns, to be
filed not later than tomorrow, make
no better showing than those filed
early enough for the Treasury people
to go over them, it is insisted that
the shortage in revenue may run well
beyond the present estimate.
1t is shown by the returns which
the officials have had the opportunity
to examine that profits not only
have shrunk in virtually all lines of
business, but that in some lines no
profits at all have been reported, and,
therefore, no taxes can be collected.

CROW MADE SHIP ITS HOME
Treated Kindly by Sailors, Bird De-
cined to Leave Vessel When
1t Reached Port

MANY wears ago, as the whaling
ship Diana was returning from Noy-
age in the Arctic ocean, her captain
and crew were surprised one day 10
see crow, in state of great eXhaus-
ton, hutter into the rigging. Inc
nearest land was more than 2oo mics
away, so such visitor was quite I'M
expected.
With great care and gcntleness the
bird was caught, and after receiving
as much attention as any stOrnl-tosseu
traveller would require, II was otfered
its liberty again. But, though thor
Oughly restored to health and Nlgor, IL
refused to leave the ship. With loud
caws of contentment it would hop
about the deck as though that were
its real home, and when darkness set
tied down upon the ocean, II retired
into the rigging there to roost as com
fOrtably as any of its stay-at- home
relations among their leafy elms.
When the Shetland islands were
reached, the captain of the Diana sent
his fealhered passenger on shore, nat
urally thinking that this would be IN
accordance with its wishes; but the
next day, when the ship was 40 miles
farther on the route to Hull and was
quite out of sight, the sailors saw
dark speck in the sky which grew and
grew, till, to their establishment and
delight, the passenger they had left
behind iuttered joyously on board,
cawing its satisfaction at reaching
home once more, if not replUving them
for giving it the slip.

shorter hours and for more wages.
The employees in the governm ent

resolutions containing the demands of
the employees and asserting the readi-
