 Falling in love distorts all sense of proportion. We know young men who believe it is only about twenty-four inches around the world.
 Ben Doney says the reason some men have their hair pulled out is be- cause their wives can take their own off so easily and don't realize how it hurts.
 Joe Wilson says he's noticed that whenever water freezes it always freezes slippery side up.
 Little Charlie Borum says he can't understand why his mamma always sends him to bed when he's sleepy and makes him get up when he is sleepy. I Professor J. F. Walker has it fig ured out that the reason people don't live as long now as in olden days is because it costs too much. When a man remarked the other day that the recent storms would soon bring everything above ground, one fellow in the bunch said there'd be trouble for him then, because he had three wives under it.
 Then someone else in the crowd told the latter that the Lord had afflicted | him pretty severely, to which the thrice-widowed retorted that the Lord hadn't got much ahead of him, ''for as fast as the Lord took one wife, took another"
 Chet Black was talking to travel ing man last week, who got on his nerves by sticking his nose too close to Chet's face. Finally Chet drew out his handkerchief and took hold of the travelling mans nose, and then, as if discovering his mistake, said: "I beg your pardon; your nose was so near my eyes mistook it for my own" | Frank E. Richmond says that man working on cotton gin in the south ern part of the state dropped bot tie of hootch on the ground. It broke and most of the liquor spilled. A tum- ble bug happened along, smelled the spilled hootch and drank a lot of it. A few moments later he backed up to a bale of cotton and said:

 "The Dying Fisherman's Song" is the title of pathetic little ditty hand ed in the other day by Dr. E.. S. Mill CT, who received it from friend. This is it:
 Twas midnight on the ocean, Not street car was in sight; The sun was shining brightly,
 For it rained all day that night. | Twas summer day in winter, The rain was showing fast; A barefoot girl with shoes on,
 Stood sitting in the grass. Twas evening, and the rising sun
 Was setting in the west; And all the fishes in the trees | Were cuddled in their nests. The rain was pouring down, | The sun was shining bright, And everything that you could see II Was hidden out of sight. The organ peeled potatoes,
 Lard was rendered by the choir; When the sexton rang the dishrag,
 Someone set the church on fire. Holy smokes" the preacher shouted,
 As he madly tore his hair. Now his head resembles heaven,
 For there is no parting there. Josiah Brush was travelling man,
 Who travelled the briny main; He was "Mr R,1Ish" in Enpland

SCHMIDT, PIANIST, PLAYS.
Dfscloses Good Tone. but Lack of
Finish.

Herbert Schmidt, pianist. gave a re-
cstai yesterday afternoon in Aeolian
Hall. He disclosed certain good quail
ties. His best asset was his tone. which
was unforced. never harsh, always mu-
steal and, In so far as dynamics were
concerned, tolerably varied. There was
no wide range of color, however, and
this naturally confined his interpreta-
lions to circumscribed utterance.
Mr.. Schmidt displayed q regrettable
lack of finish In phrasing, TO which he
added want of clarity In Enger work,
due partly to injudicious pedalling and
partly to uncertainties of technic. His
playing Of the Brahms intermezzo in A
nat and rhapsody In fiat showed in
teilisence and artistic instinct. but suf-
iered from the causes already enumer-
ated. He fell still, further short OF his
own manifest ideals In his reading OF
The Chopin sonata in B minor.

~ NJ INSTITUTION OF the festival
VI of the birth Of the Savior Is
attributed by some authorities
TO Pope Telesphorus, who died A. d.
1873.
In the early days Of the Christian
religion it was one Of the most NOV
able of feasts. being often con-
founded with the Epiphany and cele-
brated by the eastern churches in
April and May. In the Fourth century
the urgency of st. Cyril of Jerusalem
obtained from Pope julius l. an
order for an investigation to be
made concerning the day of Christ's
nativity. The result of the inquiry,
made by theologians of the East and
the West, was an agreement upon the
twenty Of December.
AS told in the gospel of St Luke,
Christ was born in the night There
fore, divine service is performed on
the night of December 24-25. 1t is
the custom in Roman Catholic
churches TO usher In Christmas day
by the celebration of three masses,
one at midnight, the second at early
dawn. and the third In the morning.
This custom dates from the sixth
century.

Income Surtax Rates In
Report to Congress

Observation-Disclosures revision
OF tax laws, with reduction q
maximum of income surtax rates to
20 or % per cent and adjustment OF
the rates on business profits and
estates, is suggested by Secretary
Mellon in his first annual report,
transmitted to congress.

to retirement of the soldiers bonus
is unchanged, and urges prompt

ing needs OF the present economic
situation"
Mr.. Mellon informs congress that
maturity within the next IS months
OF $6,750,00O,000 of the short dated
debt makes it imperative that the
government pursue a policy OF the
utmost economy and avoid new un-
dertakings that would burden the
treasury and embarass the funding
| operations with respect to the float
ing debt.
Revenue revision is the subject up
on which the secretary lays the most
stress. He says the changes in the
tax law voted by congress last
month give substantial relief to
business and industry and therefore
in some measure the freedom Of
business transactions, but our syS.
tenn of taxation still requires careful
and thoughtful consideration" He
then proceeds to say that IL the loss
of revenue resulting from the re-
duction in surtax, and other rates
suggested can not be made up by
rigid economy in expenditures IL
can be met "either by placing tax
on certain specific articles or by
low rate general tax on broad
class of articles or transactions

CONGRESS HEARS
I HARD|MG'S SPEECH
APPLAUSE BREAKS INTO AO-
DRESS TO CONGRESS AT
EACH TELLING POINT.
OVATION FROM EVERY HAND
Proposal of Tribunal for Labor
Capital Disputes Causes a Stir
Starving Gift Liked-Views
on Shipping Situation.

WASHINGTON.-L of the
new session of congress was COM
pleted Tuesday with the delivery by
President Harding of his opening ad-
dress at join session with the
arms delegates in attendance
A hearty reception was given the
president by what was said to be
one of the largest audiences ever
damned into the house chamber
Demonstrations of minute each
occurred when he entered and again
when he concluded, the audience
standing and applauding.
Applause also broke into his ad-
dress frequently, especially from
house members when he discussed
administration policy and with espe-
cial volume when he advanced his
plan for a tribunal to weigh disputes
between capital and labor and de-
clared labor organizations should not
be permitted to exact unfair terms
Of employment or subject the public
to actual distress
Applaud Gift to Starving.
The audience, which also included
the cabinet, diplomatic corps and
many high officials, responded warm
ly when, with feeling, the president
urged aid for starving peoples of
Russia and proposed gift of 10000.
900 bushels of corn and 1000, 900
bushels of seed.
Presentation later of more detailed
views on the shipping situation was
promised by the executive in declar-
ing he opposed abrogation of com
mercial treaties provided by the
Jones act. A suggestion for a plan
of reimbursement to ship operators
was accepted as an advance state
ment of his previously announced
views as to ship subsidies.
The recommendations were re.
ceived by republican leaders with
widespread expressions of approval
although some declared one or more
of the executives proposals would be
difficult, if not impossible, of early
enactment.
Immediately after the joint SEES.
sion. the senate passed a bill, urged
by Secretary Hoover as head Of the
American relief administration, au.
thorizing donation to the administra
ton of surplus medical and other
stores of the army.
