SOUP

A Delectable Musical Overture Play
ed on the Mouth Organ
The musical properties of soup
were discovered in the sixteenth CEN
tury. Previous to that time the old
adage, "Soup should be seen and
not heard" held full sway.
There is a variety of soup to fit
every mood of the human mind. For
instance there is celery soup for
the mood of the man who has eight
quarts Of '98 stored away in the
basement.
The Chinese are particularly par
tial to rice soup, because rice is their
national flower.
You've noticed how a great many
people have failing for duck soup
Almost every day you hear someone
say Tt1l be duck soup for me-"
Soup is the name of an explosive
sometimes vulgarly called nitro
glycerine." II is used by people who
wish to remove money from the bank
and haven't time to wait till the bank
opens.
Soup generally has nothing in it
but profit.
Trouble is a synonym for soup. AS
an example, man caught stealing
his girls last package of cigarettes
is "in the soup"
Soup is not particularly the mode
when used as trimming for a dress
suit. Owing to this fact many peo-
pie forfear TO indulge in soup unless
they can obtain the variety that
matches their fancy waistcoats.

remember that a single colony Of
bees produce from sixty to eighty
pounds of honey in season we
realize that the bees must indeed be
busy.
However, sixty to eighty pounds
of honey per colony is the national
average. One colony in Texas pro-
duced the enormous amount OF nine

one season.

engine then steamed} through the city
under its own power, looking just as
it did when, ninety years ago it ran
between Albany and Schenectady.
The once famous old 999 followed

driven by Charles Hogan of Buffalo,
who handled the throttle in her rec

PUBLIC HEARINGS
ON TAX REVISION
ENDED YESTERDAY
Committee viii Start Drafting
Bill After Hearing Secre-
tary Mellon.
NO CONFERENCE YET HELD
UPON REVISION PROGRAM
Most Witnesses Sought Removal
of Tax From Their Par
ticular Industries.
(Ry the Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Public
hearings on tax revision were closed
today by the house ways and means
committee which win start drafting
the new revenue bill after hearing
Secretary Mellon, Internal Revenue
Commissioner Blair and other treasury
officers, in executive session beginning
Chairman Fordney said today Il
probably would take three weeks to
set the bill before the house. TIE
majority members OF the committee
have as yet held no conferences to
agree upon revision program and
evidence of a difference Of opinion
among them on certain changes pro-
posed has not been lacking.
All of the republicans have not yet
agreed to the treasury proposal to
repeal the excess profits tax and sub
stitute an increase in the normal tax
on corporations, but leaders generally
believe this program ultimately will
prevail. A reduction in the surtax
brackets to a maximum Of at least 40
per cent also is forecast with probably
some other changes in the present
law.
Like the great majority OF those who
had gone before, most witnesses be-
fore the committee today sought re-
moval of the tax from their partic-
ular industries, but, as Chairman
Fordney repeatedly pointed out. the
committee got few suggestions as to
how the loss in revenue proposed was
to be made up.
VIM. A. Brady. of Kew York, and
other spokesmen for the moving pic
ture industry, including theatres.
asked that the theatre seat tax, the
per cent sales tax on films and the
10 per cent admission tax be removed.
James A. Emery, OF this city on be-
half of the National Manufacturers
association, urged repeal of the excess
profits tax and the higher brackets in
the. surtax, substituting a general
turnover tax.
Representative Appleby, republican,
New Jersey, argued in favor Of his
bills to impose a two-cent stamp tax
on bank checks, to repeal the soda
water tax and TO levy a federal tax ot
40 cents per horse power on passenger
automobiles, and $40 ton on trucks,

rolls that he had been instructed by Gem
eral Macready to give an understanding
that, pending a final hearing on the ap-
peal, the sentence of death against Egan
and another prisoner named Higgins,
would not be executed.
The master of the rolls however, de-
clined to listen to Sergeant Hanna. He
declared the case represented deliberate
contempt of court unprecedented in The
whole history of British law, and cr-
dered the writs of attachment issued.
Uncertainty prevails here as to the
next step in the case. Dublin is not un-
der martial law, and it is therefore pre-
sumed that General Macready, who is
now in London, and the others against
whom the writs were issued, are liable
to arrest.
1t is reported that appeals will be
lodged not only against the issue of the
writs of habeas corpus, but also against
the orders for the writs of attachment.
