Defective Vision Cause of Crime

Philadelphia, Dec. 4.-On the heels
of the announcement by sclenelses
from all over the country that crlmi-
mails have been cured through opera
lions removing bfood-clots from the
brain. Presiding Judge Charles l.:
Brown of the Philadelphia municipal
court. declared today that many cases
of criminal procliyities came from
defective vision in childhood.
The Philadelphia jurist, who IS an
authority upon the juvenile branch Oh
the municipal court, discussed the So
cial menace of poor oversight as EVIL

workers ali over the country" ne

where delinquency and antl-soclal
conduct depended not on some wicked
perversity in the child, but on such a
simple thing as vision which needed
correction"
Public attention, Judge Brown be-
lieyes, should be enlisted in cam

oversight is an economic menace IN m

not believe that any great artist OF

really important emotion awakened
by thing OF beauty.
Worlds Beauty Belt
For me, as for all the men and
women / know who have given thought

fine and significant manifestation OF
the Life Force which surprises and
thrills and stimulates. Always there
is the clement o: surprise in the emo

and a stlmulant. II It does not, II it
merely produces pleasure. however

Associate Justice william r. Day. OF the Su-
preme Court Of the United states. is SLIM fral
gentleman. nearly six feet tall but weighing
not more than 100 pounds.
He is however, the father of two sons, both Of
whom weigh 200 and both of whom were
famous football players in their college days
Not long ago Justice Days sons came up to
the Supreme Court to see him. both being law
yers and he introducing them to the other
justices when they were presented to Chief
Justice White, that genial gentleman remarked:

The proposal for a farmers strike. in the opn-
ion OF Gilbert N. Haugen. of Iowa who is CHAR,
man of the Committee on Agriculture OF the
House of Representatives; does not take INTO
consideration farmer psychology.
Farmers can't stop producing IN the nrst
place because they have to get money TO pay
interest the mortgage.
There was much talk of a farmers strike
wheat planting last fall. but when the reports
began To come in from such States Kansas
1t was shown that more wheat was planted TINS
year than last. Some years ago similar strike
on cotton planting in the South was called and
the next year the acreage increased
The farmer is individualist He operates
alone. When he is told that the acreage is be-
ing cut that the price may be good the next sea-
he anticipates that price and puts IN auu'-
tional acreage. All the farmers do It, Tho
result is exactly the opposite to that which is
sought.
"Dont use our in writing a BILL representa-

This was typical Of the sort OF thing Mr.. Mann
does constantly. He is probably the most In
dustrious member of Congress. He READS all
the bills. He is self-appointed copy reaoer
upon them. He constantly passes bills back to

takes in the method OF presentatlon' ne Is
sometimes a bit brusque about it but he is so
well Informed. knows the game so thoroughly
that most members have come to appreciate his

Fix Limit on
Claims for Tax
THE worst feature of the war tax
on excess profits is not its

on excess profits is not Its
q amount, but its intricacy. Its
amount makes staggering burden,
which the consumer pays, but Its
intricacy is maddening.
A prospecting business could stand
a fixed levy, but no business man
ager knows when he pays this war
tax bill whether he has reckOned 1T
rightly. Months afterward, when
his books for the past year have
been closed and new arrangements
made, often involving credits based
on supposed surplus, the Govern
ment is liable to pounce upon him
for an additional assessment. These
additional assessments are rarely
due to official discovery OF fraud.
They chiefly reflect differences in
interpreting the complex law.
The incoming Administration is
pledged to repeal this burdensome
tax. Now of all times business needs
encouragement by the Government.
1t is no longer necessary to fine in
dustry for being successful; only
dire necessity ever gave any war
rant for doing so.
But before the legislation pro-
viding substitute revenues can be
enacted, much time is likely to
elapse. For this period Robert N.
Turner, formerly solicitor Of in
ternal revenue, offers a wise sug-
gestion.
In the Mining Congress Journal he
urges that settlements reached be-
tween taxpayer and commissioner
be made final and binding on both
parties unless proof of fraud APP
pears.
Although this provision would be
especially welcome in application to
the excess profits tax, while that
continues, it could with equal fair
ness be applied to all Federal taxes.
The Government is still studying
the income tax returns OF 1918.
Citizens who paid two years ago.
what they honestly thought they
owed, who sought and acted upon
the best advice they could find in
figuring their returns, are still re-
ceiving revised claims, rarely Of
fering abatement, usually demand
ing more.
A government unable to make it's
tax law plain within a reasonable
time or to employ sufficient qualified
agents to keep abreast of the re-
turns should not levy its incapaclty
on honest taxpayers in the form of
supplemental assessments long after
tbe income taxed has been spent.
