Winslow high school girls. The

A very enjoyable party was held

lege of filing a claim for the refund

cess of amounts legally due, but in

rectlon of the error or if an assess

payer for income or excess profits
tax, the overpayment will be applied
as a credit against the assessment
and the balance Immediately re-
funded.
This will be of distinct financial
advantage to both the taxpayer and
the government It will do away
with the necessity for the taxpayer
filing a claim for refund and will
greatly reduce the amount of work
TO be done by the Bureau in the ad-
justment OF claims Taxpayers may
continue to file claims for abate-
ment and refund, but it is expected
that the number of such claims filed
each month will be greatly reduced.
Efforts are being made by the Bu~
reau to adjust within six months all
claims now pending and thereafter
to keep the work current.
The Revenue Act of 1921 provides
that under certain conditions inter
est shall be paid upon claims from
the date of the payment of the tax
to the date of the allowance of the
claim. The new procedure should
greatly reduce the amount Of inter
est which the government must of
necessity pay upon claims for re

REMAINS A MYSTERY
Experts Arc still Unable to Tell
Where "Nagrant Signals Come
From Via Wireless.

London, Dee. 30.-Despite the most
diligent research, experts arc not yet
able to say whence the mysterious
''vagrant" signals come that every
day and particularly at night, are re-
ceiVed on wireless aerials.
"From the earliest days of long
distance wireless tclegraphy, the diff
culties in reception duo to ragrant or
natural electric waves and atmos-
pheric electric discharges passing
down the receiving aerial have been
the bane of the wireless telegra-
phist," Professor John Ambrose
Fleming of London University told
the Royal Society Of Arts He said;
Having regard to the fact that the
positive atmospheric electric poten-
tia gradient of the earth increases at
the rate Of about 100 volts per meter
of ascent roughly speaking, it is not
surprising that aerials several hun
dred feet high may be traCersed by
quite large currents due TO this cause
alone which may utterly swamp the
feeble signal currents"
Professor Fleming is the inventor
of the thermionic valve receiver,
which revolutionized wireless tele-
graphy and telephony.

LITIGATION board
The committee on Library Reve-
nues recommends the adoption Of the
following:
"The American Library Association
declares that 81 per capita, of the
population of the community served,
is a reasonable minimum revenue
for the library in communities desir-
ing to maintain good modern public
library with trained Librarians. This
sum should cover a main library
with reading room facilities, branch
libraries and reading rooms within
easy reach of all the people in the
larger communities, a registration of
card holders equal to 5000 of the
population, and a considerable collec
ton of the more expensive books of
reference, with a home use of about
five volumes per capital.
communities desiring their IL
braries to supply these needs extern
sively, will need to provide support
beyond the minimum Of 81 per
capita, and for the highest grade of
service 50 per capita would be
reasonable sum. This would include
extension work sufficient to bring
home to the children, the foreign
speaking people, business men, ar
tisans, advanced students, public
officials, and in general all classes of
the people, the opportunities that
such library is not only ready but
is able to afford, with a service that
is administered by trained librarians
having special knowledge in their
particular departments. Such a serv-
ice should lead to a registration of
card holders equal to 500 of the
and a reading room at
tendance equal to or greater than the
of books issued for home
use"

Of last year, There were 81 during
all of 1920 and tifty-two in 1919, as
against eighteen in 1906, fifteen

largely TO the large influx of aliens

laid TO tho effect of warfare in re-

POISON
KILLED
MEY Err
Idaho State Chemist
Tells Results of An
alysis Over Body of
Dead Man

Twin Falls, Idaho, Oct. s.
Testifying upon direct examina
tion in the case of LYDIA Meyer
Southard, alleged poisoner of hel
fourth husband, Edward F. Mey.
er, DR.. E. f. Roden baugh, state
chemist of Boise today, declared
that the results of analysis made
by him of specimens taken from
the body of Meyer in April of this
year practically duplicated those
obtained from specimens taken
from the body Immediately after
the death of Meyer September Z Of
last year.
Under the questioning of Prose
cutting Attorney Frank Stephan,
the witness testified to having
found .05 milligrams of poison in
five grams of the specimen Of kid
ney, liver and spleen sl<d 10 mil
ligrams in ten gram quantity of
the specimen. Five grams of the
specimens taken from the intesti-
nal tract or large and small intes-
tine yielded .03 milligram of poi
son. a further ten gram sample
yielding .06 milligrams upon
analysis.
On the basis of a normal weight
of kidney, liver and spleen of 1000
grams the result would indicate
the presence of a little less than
one-third of a gram of poison in
these organs. Estimating the to-
tai weight of the intestinal tract
to have been $500 grams, a total
of 21 milligrams of poison would
be indicated.
Assuming an equal distribution
Of the poison throughout the en-
tire system in the case of a body
weighing 165 popnds, the total
poison content of the body would
be a little over nine grains.
