.21 PETITION
 FOR REFUND

The Claims Committee heard 21 pe- titions for refunds, aEsement of taxes, and damages last night, almost all of the claims being for small amounts. The largest single case was that of Charles H. Hunter who asked s750 for personal injuries sustained, loss of time, and damage to his au- tonfobi1e due to a defective roadway. On May last he was driving his Studebaker bus near the Ash Creek bridge when it hit hole in the roao, broke the front spring and, he having lost control of it, crashed into a troll ley causing further damage to the machine and injuring himself. The next most important item was the claim of F. B. La1ley for s271.75 for damages incurred due to the stoppage of a sewer.
 Mrs. J. S. Macdonald asked for damages for a fall last April because of a defective sidewalk.
 J. J. Gilbride, Frederick Cinto and James D. Picken, all ex-service men. asked for either refunds or abatement of taxes to which they are entitled under the ruling which gives ex-ser- vice men a certain amount of exemp- ton while they were in service.
 Others who appeared were: A. Hart N. F. and M. Weary, Maggie Brown, Alice Gerter estate, Mary T. Birdseye. Nellie Hel1man, Charles A Bjork- land, Mrs. Bradley Meeker, Rose Behary. D. and M. PuceI1i, John Miles Miss M. Arch, Lucy Cisaro, Herbert Pull and William D. Thorne. Most of the claims were for abatement of taxes and the amounts asked for rang ed from s2 to $e5.

President Approves \ Single Head Air Force

Washington, July 16-Bng. Gen. William Mitchells proposal to con- solidate all the air forces of the Ma tion under one head has the indorse- ment of President Harding at least.
 It was stated at the White House today that the President believes such a consolidation would not only result in great economies, but also would be conducive to greater effi- ciency in the service by bringing to- gether the men of greatest experi- ence and talent in aeronautics.
 The Presidents attitude apparently is in agreement with that of Brig. Gen Mitchell, whose activities on be- half of @ United Air Service brought him into difficulties with Major Gen. c. T. Menoher and Secretary of War Weeks Gen. Mitchell in various statements before Congressional com mittees and elsewhere advocated the consolidation of the air activities now conducted by the War, Navy, Com merce and Post Office Departments with single chief who should be a member of the Cabinet.

American Men Not Toy
 Dogs. Einstein Asserts

New York, July 16 - Statements attributed to Prof. Albert Einstein, the scientist who developed the the ory of relativity, in which he was re- ported to have said that he had found American men the toy dogs of the other sex'' and that above all things the women dominate the entire life in America" are absolutely denied by him in a cable to the Zionist or ganization of America. Professor Einstein insists that the impressions he received in America are most fa- vorab1e.
 .'I disclaim responsibility for un- authorized reports concerning myself and my views with regard to Amer ica," says the despatch. 'tI am not disappointed with America nor with the results of the mission of the Zion ist delegation. of which Dr. Chain Weizmaann was the head.

 MT. Ford proposes to take over the plant and power development at Mus cle Shoals on a combined lease and purchase basis, involving immediate payment of $5,ee0. 900 with eventual improvements to the estimated value of S2S, 900, ,00o.
 The power developed will necessa- riIy far exceed that required for operation of the nitrate works, and it is stated that Mir Ford will use tt least part of the surplus in his own business.
