WAR MACHINES.

While a conference is about to open for the purpose of reaching an agree ment that will result in the reduction and limitation of armament and while certain of the leading nations are de- clariNs that they are eager to join with the others in such a plan as may be agreed upon for the cutting down of armament and the abandonment of ex- tensive naval construction policies, ef- forts do not cease in devising new and more effective instruments of warfare in case of fu' ure conflicts.
 Much Of the world is sick enough of he'norrors of war to want to anticipate the day when there will be no more wars but until the causes for wars are eliminated and the nations agree to set tie their disputes by other methods than the use of force world peace is an uncertainty and such being>the case it is quite natural that provision for pro- tection should be made and that inven- tors should direct their attention to bringing forth new implements of war
 Since the end of the war 1t has been announced that 1t Is possible to produce new gases which if employed would
  either in offensive or defensive action. New guns have not only been devised. but have been constructed which will make possible an improved defense of the coastline, while the necessity for greater protection for the heavily ar mored battlesbips has been demon- strsted by the destructive power of the bombs dropped by aiTplanes.
 Al the same time new developments are taking place in the building of fly ing machines with the result that an all steel machine, capable of protecting it's occupants against machine gun fire and carrying 90 rapid fire guns. all of which can be operated as battery by one man. has been produced. These are only 2 few of the preparations being made in case of future wars, and while it lndi- cates the passing of the old method of warfare it emphasizes the need of put ting forth quite as much energy for the adjustment of disputes by other methods 1 than war

LUXURY AND NUISANCE
 TAXES OCCUPY SENATE

Washington, Nov. l. - Luxury and nuisance taxes held the center of the senate stage today and tonight with par ty lines obliterated for the first time since the revenue revision Dill was talk en up five weeks ago. So many of this class of excises were voted out of the bill that the charge. was made from the democratic side thaNthere was a move ment afoot to strip the measure, so as to make necessary the adoption of gen. eral sales tax.
 This was denied by Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, in charge of the bill, who said it was not the time to bring for ward a sales tax. He assured the sen- ate that even if all the items proposed for repeal went out of the bill, there would be margin of S10, 900, 900 between the government income and outgo.
 The sales tax discussed was accepted as notice of the fight that is to come when Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, brings up his proposals for tax, probably on Thursday. The Utah senator intro- duced today two modified and alternate sales tax plans. One proposes a l pei cent. tax levy on all manufactured goods where sales exceed S6,oo0 a year, and the other proposes a general turnover .ax of 1-2 of 1 per cent. where the sales exceed S6,000.
 Senator Smoot previously had offered an amendment providing for a beneral manufacturers sales tax of per cent with certain exemptions, this to be in lieu of all the miscellaneous taxes. His

TAUsCHER's AMBITION.

Not a little interest is bound to be awakened by the reported ambition of Captain Tauscher, formerly connected with the German army and located in this country during the early days of the war until shipped out along with others who had made themselves offensive, to return to the United States and become Q citizen of this country.
 His idea it seems is to encourage bet ter relations between the countries and in order to do that he thinks it is neces- sary 10 become a United States citizen. Not so much would be thought about a citizen of Germany seeking to become a citizen of the United States but Captain Tauscher was not only connected with the German army under the former kali ser but he was located in this country and engaged in activities which were against the interests of this country.
 IL is to be realized that conditions have changed. It is even claimed that he has military and other secrets that would he of value to this government and American industry, and that there are those in government circles who do not see any objection to permitting him 10 return and become a citizen. Refer ence is made to the fact that he! present. ed this country in a favorable light af- ter his return to Germany and during the war, but it is only natural that there should be asked the question as to just why he is so anxious to renounce his all leg-ance to the fatherland after the posi- ton he has he'd and the work he has done for ft and cael- +o hacoroa a ot.i zen of the country in which he was for merly engaged in breaking American i laws. Is it possible for him to show ! that he is or would be desirable citi zen?

READ YOUR CHARACTER
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1881
The Goose-Necked "D."

You've seen the gose- -neclled d" many times, no doubt. Perhaps there are sev- eral among your friends whose hand writing exhibits this peculiar formation of the letter, which is an important indi- cation of character.
 By the goose-necked "d" is meant that formation of the letter in which the final down stroke of the stem is dispensed with, and the up stroke is ended with slight flourish to the right. Some peo- pie make a "d' this way only when it occurs at the end of a word Others use it even in the middle of a wor4, causing a break in the continuity of the pen stroke.
 Do you really know somebody who makes a d" this way? Reflect upon his characteristics, or hers, though it's more likely to be 8 him" than O 'her" Is he not inclined to be what you'd call scholarly in his outlook upon affairs and people generally?
 This particular pen stroke is typical of those more than usually interested in the cultivated arts. \ Understand, all who are

 It is understood to be Senator Shoots plan to offer his amendments one by one Nith the view of testing senate sen timent on each of the three proposals. While there have been some recruits 10 the sales tax idea the Smoot amendments are expected 10 meet stiff opposition from both sides of the chamber.
 The senate confined its operations to- day almost strictly to the subject mat ter in the bill. renewal of the soldiers bonus fight being deferred until toulor- row.

WHY SHE HAD TO HURRY

 "One thing I have learned, thought want to get her in the mood for any thing>I just have to plan little before hand. When she wanted new dress for her school party and threatened to nope horribly because she couldn't have it, I simply paved the way with Poilyanna. and she wore her old organdie without whimper. And when her morale Runs so low that she neglects her practicing I have ;ast to l,ntsarth some volume about girls who were gennuses and worked themselves to the bone. That will keep Dorothy at 1t all day.

The Shoes and the Strings.

A woman had pair of shoes that had passed the stage of usefulness to her so she placed them at the alley gate expecting that they would be taken by some needy person. Half an hour later she happened to think that she might have need for the strings in the shoes, so she started out to the alley to take the strings out.
 This is selfish of me-" she said to herself The poor woman who gets these shoes won't be able to use them without the strings
 So she went back to the kitchen in good humor with herself for her philan- thropic intention. Late that afternoon she went out the back way to the groc- cry. There were the shoes at the alley gate, but the strings were gone.

but the subsequent turn of events in North Dakota cannot fail to start a strong back fire against any such policy. North Dakota will stand as the horrible example of what Townley brought about and what others will be desirous of es- caping.
 No small task will be imposed upon those who are elected to office to restore the government to proper standing, to salvage what they can from the period of experimentation and to make use of any methods which experience has shown are benefit to the people of that state. Their job will not be an easy one but as a result of the reconstruc- tion North Dakota ought to be safely re- moved from any further possibility of reverting to the control of the non-par- tisan league.

Dorothy's elder sister immediately set down her teacup and looked worried. The reason was that the question asked by the red-haired girl, simply, Flows Dorothy?" had set in motion a train of thought with singular possibilities.
 Shes all right. I suppose" Dorothy's older sister answered. "At least she was when I left home. But you know what a bookworm that child has always been and what an imaginative youngster she was? Well, lately things have talk en a new turn with her. She reads more than ever and after she finishes book she proceeds to act like the leading char acter. I suppose we all do that once in a while, to a certain extent. But Dorothy! Well, I wish you could have seen her last week! She began to go around with the most mournful air and refused to eat, and it wasn't until dis covered that she'd just completed novel with a misunderstood heroine that l knew what to do for her"
 "wen, what did you do?" the red haired girl asked, curiously.
 Cave her a story about an athletic girl who s~~sned sentiment, and she inn mediately took to hiking and large meals. But that didn't last long, either. She got hold of another tale where the chief belle was a southern beauty who was too laguid to move and Dorothy posi- lively refused to make her own bed for two days She even stuck rose in her hair and took to murdering my guitar.
 I'm fearfully afraid she'll fall in love with some blond book lady and come in some day with her hair bleached. I think she would be capable of it. So long as she sticks to brunettes she can do nothing worse to her looks than take turns dressing for varhp and Spanish parts. When her idol of the moment is modern and ultra smart she pulls out her eyebrows and does other things of that sort, but of course I can't undertake

Mr. Editor In the issue of your paper et October 3sth last, under head of Wes- teriy News, there is paragraph relative to the New London Brewery placing a contract for ice and resuming operations in which my name is used as your au- thcrity for the abatement. Permit me to say that have not, made any such state ment, either to correspondent of your paper, or anyone else. In fact l know nothing about the New London Brewery or it's plans.
 In so far as the item relates to me there Is absolutely no truth in it, and however innocent you may be in intent, it is certainly placing me in false po- sition and doing me injustice to use my name n connection with such news.

Pestxy and Psets. MT. Editer: A foot note in your paper today reads:
 Poets are born-therefore their anees- tors should be held responsible. If this be so, then the ancestors of one Casson Langhbridge, whose poem on The Kingdom of Heaven, also ap- peared in the same issue, have lot to make answer for.
 Heredity is surely . great thing, but when it works such freakish results as that, it were better for the readers of poetry at least, that such poets had never been born.
