SUBSTITUTE FOR GASOLINE.

I'm out of gas. Let me have five
gallons of molasses this time
If the owner OF a car were to make
this remark at an American service
station, there would be a hasty phone
call for the police patrol.
In Cuba, the same request would
merely provoke smile and secure for
the driver five gallons Of the automo
bile fuel now used in the majority Of
Havana cars.
Charles E. Hires. Jr, OF the Charles
e. Hires Company. Philadelphia, who
has lately returned from the company's
sugar plantation in the island, says
that the passing of the eighteenth
amendment automatically destroyed
Cuba's market for millions Of gallons
Of melasses. This molasses was for
merly refined in America and distrib
uted to the brewing companies. When
the brewers ceased to brew, molasses
became a drug on the Cuban market
temporarily.
Now a large percentage is being con-
verted into denatured alcohol and
forms the base of a new automobile
fuel used by practically all of the
cheaper, and many Of the more expen-
sive cars in Cuba. This feul sells for
20 cents a gallon against so cents a
gallon for gasoline.
I'm spite Of the bottom having
dropped out of the suger market, and
of prohibition In the United States"
remarked Mr.. Hires. "there are seem
ingly as many cars on the streets of
Havana as there were year or two
ago Cuba has found a market for her
molasses crop. What does not go into
automobile fuel, is turned into pure
alcohol and shipped to South America
where there is no eighteenth amend
ment. If Cuba can work out her ex-
cess sugar problem as satisfactorily
she has nothing to worry about"

PASTOR is AGAINST ;.
FORCING OF BLUE
LAWS ON MINORITY


The Rev. c. S. Kemble. pastor OF the
Methodist Episcopal church at Irving
ton, N. r., told the members of the
Lords day alliance at their annual
meeting held recently in the Madison
avenue Baptist church, that they, as
Puritan Protestants," had no right to
force their ideas regarding Sunday
observance upon the people of other
religious beliefs. The Protestants, DR..
Kemb1e declared, are in the minority
in New York city, and have no right
to try to make the majority conform
to their belief by means of legislation.
I'VE must remember that this is not
a Protestant city, he said. Every
third man is a Jew, and possibly every
other third man is Roman Catholic.
Two thirds, of the population are not
Protestant. The Roman Catholic
church does not agree with us at all
as to observance of Sunday, and the
Jews also disagree with us as to the
conception of the Sabbath. Now, why
should we force upon them bills which
disagree with their thoughts and their
views? 1t is all right to work in the
churches and to voice our sentiments
from pulpits or by propaganda, but we
have no right to force our views on
them"
DR.. Kemble's speech caused consid-
cradle excitement among the members
Of the alliance, and several immedi-
ately answered him, declaring that
Sunday observance is not "a matter of
mans viewpoint, but of Gods word"
Besides DR.. Kemble, those making
speeches on various aspects of the alli-
ance work, were the Rev. A. Lincoln
Moore a member of the New Jersey
legislature; walter e. Ellis, president
of the New Jersey Letter Carriers as
sociation; the Rev. Herbert Z. Blair,
missionary from Corea, and the Rev
f. w. Johnson.
The business session of the alliance
was held during the afternoon, and
much of it was devoted to the question
Of how to stop people from playing
basketball on Sunday.
IF basketball is permitted to be
played on the Sabbath without a pro-
test" said one of the clergymen, there
is no telling how far from the path of
righteousness the people reay drift

HOOVER SAYS CHILD LABOR is
MENACE TO NATION,

Herbert Hoover, secretary of COM
merce, urges a widespread observance
Of child labor day. In a letter just
received by owen r. Lovejoy, general
secretary Of the national child labor
committee. Mr.. Boover says:
"Child labor day is important be-
cause it reminds US to consider the
question OF child labor as a national
problem. Every child in the country
who labors to the prejudice of health
and education is a liability to the
nation.
TT is infinitely better to prevent
child labor and to compel and support
the education of our children today
than to look after unframed, inefficient
and unhealthy citizens tomorrow"
Child labor day viii be observed Sat
urday, January2S, in synagogues; Sun
day. January %, in churches and Sun
day schools, and Monday, in schools
colleges, clubs, etc.
Information about child labor condi-
tons and suggestions for child labor
day programs may be obtained by ad-

IMPORTANT CHANGES
In INCOME TAXES
Treasury Decision Provides for Prompt
Adjustment of Claims for Refund
and Abatement of Federal
Revenues.

The following statement is issued by
i the collector of internal revenue, d. T.
Gerow, district of Florida:
Important changes in income tax
procedure, directed by Commissioner
David H Blair, are embedded in q
treasury decision effective December
l6, which provides for the prompt adj
justment of claims for refund and
abatement of federal taxes. Hereto
fore, when an reimbursement or over
payment was disclosed by the audit of
an income tax return. the taxpayer
vas invited to file a claim for the
abatement Of the overassessment or the
eeund Of the overpayment. When re-
ceived the claim was registered and
ed away until reached in due course
for consideration. Because of the large
uvobe Of such claims filed. delay in
adjustment necessarily resulted.
after Decet4lper 10th taxpayers win
not be advised Of their privilege of
fling a claim Cor the refund of taxes
which have been paid in excess of
amounts legally due but instead will
eeceive q certificate Of overassessment
and a check in correction of the error;
or, if an assessment is outstanding
against the taxpayer for income tax
or excess profits tax, the overpayment
will be applied as a credit against the
assessment, and the balance imme-
diateIy refunded. This viii be of dis
tinct financial advantage to both the
taxpayer and the government. 1t viii
10 away with the necessity for the
taxpayer filing q claim for refund, and
will greatly reduce the amount Of work
to be done by the bureau in the adjust
ment OF claims.
Taxpayers may continue to file
claims for abatement and refund, but
it is expected that the number Of such
claims filed each month viii be greatly
reduced. Efforts are being made by
the bureau to adjust within six months
all claims now pending. ard thereafter
to keep the work current The revnue
act of 1921 provides that under certain
conditions interest shall be paid upon
claims from the date of the payment
Of the tax 70 the date Of the allowance
of the claim. The new procedure
should greatly reduce the amount Of
Interest. which the government must
Of necessity pay upon claims for refund.
