Mr.. Hays, speaking probably
under the Presidents inspiration,
and as a test of public opinion,
suggests . new taxation scheme
which wilk interest the people.

A LITTLE difference. in the
right place, makes GREAT diff
ference. The London doctor Of
Caruso's2 throat said his vocal
cords were one-sixth of an inch
longer than the average. That
made a difference of many thou
sand dollars to Caruso. Caruso's
vocal cords vibrated $50 times

bration, hard for US to imagine,
3 rapid for man, but slower than
q snail's pace compared with other
vibrations in nature. Any insect
whose strident voice you hear in
