Forces Consolidate by
Arrest of Said Pasha

Cairo, Egypt, March 7.-The hith-
erto scattered forces of opposition to
British rule in India were consolidated
by the arrest and deportation of Said
Laghloul Pasha, Egyptian Nationalist
leader.
Egyptians-men, women and chill.
dren-seem to be determined this time
to win their independence or die.
There are signs that their patriotic
spirit has grown stronger.
The country remained without a
cabinet after Zaghloul's deportation
because there was not to be found in
Egypt leader who dared to assume
tie possibility Of forming new
ministry so long as Lord Curzon's
scheme to maintain Great Britain's
grip on Egypt remained hanging over
the head of the country, as one paper
put it, like the sword of Damocles.
Most of the schools, elementary, Sec
cndary, as we'll as those of higher edu
cation have been forced to close their
portals because their students have
gone out on strike as a sign of pro-
test against the deportation of Zagh-
lCul Pa3ha.
Departments of the government
have only the semblance Of running
concerns, since the natives employed
in them have walked out in sympathy
with the great army of strikers COM
posed of lawyers, educators, mer-
chants, doctors and cabmen, who have
thus registered their dissatisfaction
with the present situation.
Great interest is being taken in the
subject Of convoking a national con-
ference Of the representative bodies
and other men Of opinion in the coun-
try with the idea of organizing all the
endeavors of the nation in the big
fight for freedom.

Political Destinies of
Soviet Government;

Tashkent, Turkestan, March T.
The political destinies of the Sovie!
government here are controlled by
Adolph A. Joffe, signer of the Brest-
Litovsk treaty by which Russia with
drew from the world war and for
mer Russian Soviet Ambassador to
Berlin. Qt was recently announced
officially that he would be one of the
Russian Soviet delegates to the Ge-
noa conference.)
Joffe is the chief of a central COM
mittee of five. One of his duties is
to put into effect Moscow's instruc
tions regarding relations with Am.
anulla Khan, the young and activ?
Emir of Afghanistan and pretende,
to the Moslem Caliphate, now hel&
by the Sultan at Constantinople.
The Emir of Bokhara has fled to
Afghanistan, the Khan of Khiva is
in prison at Moscow and the Soviets
are strengthening their power by at
tempting to build up the small land
lords at the expense of the old and
wealthy class which has well nigh,
disappeared.
Despite the absence of medicine :
and the ravages of severe typhus
epidemic, Turkestan is, barring the
Ukraine, the riches of Russian PROV
inces or subsidiary governments and
efforts are being made to increase the
cotton crop, which formerly supplied
half the mills of Great Russia.
The rice and wheat crops were
fairly good last year and if good
this year large supplies may be sent
to Russia's famine regions.

ancient as we'll as sentimental, for
observance of st. Valentines Day
has been held to be revival of the
Roman Lupercalia, and bears thc.
name of Christian martyr of the
third century. According to one
story, the martyr wrote a message of
love on the day of his execution,
February IA, to his jailor's daughter.
and signed it "Your Valentine" The
day was long observed with various
customs before commercial use was
made of the sending on that day of
amatory messagese.
The verses on many of the valer
tines in this collection express do
mestic ideals, and the wasp waistet
maidens depicted on them have meek

however, there is an exception. In
one case an outstanding amazon calm
~ directs Cupid as he aims at Ian.
guild youth, who, glancing up from
his book, notes the proceeding with
unconcern. In another a young wo-
r;.n places a wreath on the head
ii kneeling swain, and in the verses

the recipient (masculine) that her
.!aLd will be his whenever he claims
it, explaining that maiden may dis
close affections concealed at all Ola

Curious Collection
Of Old Valentines

Chicago, March S.-A curious col
lection of old valentines which the
Arts Club exhibited here recently
recalls the story of a woman whom
the students of Mt. Holyoke College
toast every year on February Id.
She was Miss Esther Rowland, who
made the first American valentines
and the first valentines in which
printed verse was used. Her WORK
is literally represented in the collec-
ton, which is that of Mrs. Emma p
Hodge, and which was loaned to tn.
Arts Club for the purposes ot th=
exhibit by the Art Institute of Chi
cago.
Miss Rowland was graduated from
Mt. Holyoke in 1847, when higher cd
ucation for women was an innovation
Valentines were first made in Eng
land, and England had monopoly Of
their manufacture for many years
In fact, a valentine from England, th=
first she had ever seen, gave Mss
Rowland the idea upon which she
based her work. 1t was two years
after her graduation when she was a.
her home in Worcester, Mass. Tho
English, which is in Mrs. Hodges
collection, has an elaborate border
of lace paper with flowers pasted
upon it. A tiny note reposed in a
small pocl5et in the center Miss
Howland's father was q stationer,
imported few of these valentines
and his daughter thought she could
improve them. She made some from
lace paper, colored paper and paper
flowers, and persuaded her brother,
who travelled for her father, to take
them with him as samples. He re-
turned to bewilder her with orders
amounting to $4,000.
Miss Rowland enlisted the aid of
her friends to fill these orders. The
following year she had to double her
working force. She soon found her
self with valentine factory on her
hands, and was importing materials
from Germany. She made further
innovations, including the use of
silk. She originate the idea of en-
bossing lithograph ornaments which
was utilized by firm in Germany.
. Meanwhile the American or Worces-
ter Valentine became famous, and in
few years Miss Rowland was send
ing out goods worth 100000.
The traditions with which Miss
Howland's work was associated are

INDIGESTION
Busy Public Official Says Thed-

Clay City, Ky.-"I have been in
business here for twenty-one years;
am also coroner, riding the Kentucky
hills and hollows in all kinds of
weather and under all kinds of con-
dttions." says Mr.. Sam T. Carr, of this
place. ITO be able to do so, I must
keep physically fit, and Thedford's
Black-Draught Is my standby.
These trips used to give me head
aches, and that, I found, came from
hurried meals or from constipation,
II was convinced that Black Draught
was good, so now I use 1t, and &c gives
perfect satisfaction. It acts on the
liver, relieves indigestion, and certain
ly is splendid. l am never without Il. -
When you have feeling of discom-
fort after meals, causing a bloating

Analysis Made by Treasury

Washington, March 7.-Intcrestinr
bits of information relating to Amer
lean incomes included in the treasury
departments report covering returns
for the calendar year 1919, which has
Just been made public.
Contrary to popular opinion. the
largest percentage Of returns accord
ing to population was not from the
wealthy industrial ccnters but from
Alaska and the District of Columbia.
The territory's showing-l7.l per cent
was explained by the number of in
dividuals operating their own bust
ness, while that of the District of CO.
lumbia 13.4O per cent--was believed
to have resulted from the high ratio
of government employees with sal
aries of more than $1,000 a year.
The Southern agricultural states
We're invariably We're far down the
list, Mississippi citizens making re-
turns comprising only l.33 per cent
of the total population; North Caro-
lima 1.45 per cent, and Alabama ] IA
New York led in total returns with
more than 100000.
An analysis made by the treasury
of the sources of incomes showed that
those in tie $1,000 to $4,000 class
obtained II per cent of their per-
sonal revenue from wages and sal
aries, 3.S per cent from rents and roy
alties, ID per cent from dividends and
At from interest on investments. This
was contrasted with the taxpayer with
an income of one mi9lion dollars who
drew only 1.34 per cent from salaries.
% per cent from partnerships, II per
cent from sale of real estate, stocks,
etc, 6 per cent from rents and royal.
ties, 3S per cent from dividends and
IL per cent from interest on invest
ments.
Deduction permitted by the govern
ment also showed wide variance
amounting to TAT per cent for incomes
between 1000 and $4,000 and 2O.l3
per cent for income of $2,000,000 and
over.
Agriculture and related industries
comprised more than 81 per cent of
these making returns, "tradc" 2G per
cent and public service %.
Corporation reporting mot net in
come" totalled l10,5G4 the aggregate
deficit in this class being 1906, 900, 900.
Seventy one per cent of the firms en-
gagged in mining and quarrying de
clared they had made no profit in 1919
against 46 per cent in agriculture and
related lines, and l3 per cent in tex
tiles.
Interesting changes in the financial
status Of certain taxpayers were noted
in the report. One group Of SCI each
who reported incomes Of under $100.-
600 in 1914 was reorganized in 1919
so that only 159 remained in that
bracket, 189 returned incomes Of IN
to 100000, 205 up to 81 1000 600 and
eight over that figure.
On the other hand 81 selected tax
payers who paid on incomes Of ST.
900 900 and over in 1914 dwindled pro-
gressively to 90 in 1919, eight of those
"lost" having dropped back to the
100000 class.

Smuggling by Baltic States

Moscow, March 7.-Gifts of food
stuffs for the famine area were used
by Lithuanians as screen for gigan-
tic smuggling operations, according
to statements of Soviet officials, who
are bitter in their denunciation of
the alleged illegal trade operations on
the part of all the three new Baltic
states.
Beneath the grain and flour the
Lithuanians loaded into two cars for
the famine area, Soviet officials say
they discovered large quantities of
cocaine, spirits, saccharine, miscel-
laneous foodstuffs intended for sale
and even railway implements not in
tended as gifts. Most of the SNUG
gled supplies were of German origin.
