AN UNsoLvED MYSTERY.

Now that there are such satisfactory
methods OF communicating with the
shore by vessels at sea It seems difficult
to imag CINE a shin which is equipped
with up-to-date apparatus could drop
out of sight and no trace ever be Sc
cured Of it and no inkling obtained as
to what happened to it. Except that it
cannot be located no one knows thai
the United States collier Cyclops went
10 the bottom. No one doubts that it
is there but how It got there is a mys
terry.
Several ideas have been advanced as
10 what might have occurred-an inter
mai EXPLOSION. a tidal wavc. a torpedo
might have been responsible. A new
idea has recently been advanced to the
effect that it was the victim Of a Ger
ran warshin which had been sent to
the West Indies to act as a mother ship
for underwater boats operating from 4
base IN that locality. and that this Ger
ran vessel was itself destroyed by one
Of is own mines. which accounts for
the fact that there is no reference IN
any of the German records to the Cv-
clops. Having been destroyed at the
same time as the Cyclops the German
commander had no chance to make a
report
It doesn't appear that there Is any
thing to Justify the claim made in this
respect. To have two vessels disappear
at the same time would be stranger
than to have one. For the lack OF
something better most of the IDEAS con
corning the disappearance of the nava
collier are simply guesswork, based IN
on what might he expected under such
conditions. and under these circum.
stances one guess is as good as another
It is one Of the mysteries that vii
probably nevsr be solved.

Here is one that you can try on

You don't have to hear what they

Detailed explanations of the mean
ings of various types of voices have

ysis, you only have to separate voices
into four elassifications. representing
four distinct types of people,
First of all, note whether the voice
Is high or low in tone. Then note
whether 1t is loud or soft.
The high, loud voice denotes a per-
son of the mental type who is lack
ing in self-restraint; a thinker, but
more than likely of undisciplined and
Intellectual thoughts.
The high, soft voice indicates the
thinker who has learned how to think
to good purpose.
The low, loud voice indicates the
monumental type practical rather
than theoretically, of vitality and ener-
CIV, who is expanding that energy and
vitality uneconomically, and who upon
occasion can be inconsiderate, harsh
or even brutal.
The low, soft voice is the voice of
the practical level-headed man or
woman who is likely to act and
think to the best advantage under
varying conditions. 1t is the voice OF
self-restrained and efficient per-
son.

CHILD TRAINING AT HOME
Family Prayers and Saying Grace.
By Mary c. Terry.


All over the country there is a move
ment to re-establish these nostums which
were observed by our Pilgrim fathers
whose characters and accomplishments
speak for their sterling worth.
How many children of the present gem
Grafton have had the unforgettable ex-
perience of seeing daddy pray?" 1t is
a sorry thing that with the omission of
the children of minister's families there
are not many. Yet there is no one thing
which makes such a lasting impression
and is such an influence for good on the
plastic mind of a child.
1t seems asi time is so limited in our
average American home, business and
family routine so pressing that we fail
to find a suitable time to observe with
our children those things which we our
selves know to be wise and best. Con-
slider first saying grace" Even in the
bsiest of homes. surely there is time for
bowed heads and few words of thanks
to the Giver of our food. a simple prayer
which can be understood even by the
young members of the family. The chill

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW



The revenue act of 1921 authorizes
the commissioner of internal revenue
and his assistants whose duty it is to
see that the law is properly complied
with to examine all books papers, and
memoranda bearing upon ar income
tax return, and to exaHiI ] under
oath persons having information in
the premises. A new provision of law
is that no taxpayer shall be subject
to unnecessary examinations, and only
one inspection of the taxpayers books
of account shall be made for each
taxable year unless the taxpayer re-
quests otherwise, or unless the com
missioner after investigation, notifies
the taxpayer in writing that an addi-
tional inspection is necessary.
The act provides that in the absence
of fraud, for miscalculation, the de-
csion of the commissioner upon any
claim presented under or authorized
by internal-revenue laws shall not be
subject of review by any other admin
istrative officer, employee, or agent
of the United States.
Written Agreements Binding
Except upon a showing of fraud or
malfeasance, an agreement in writing
between the taxpayer and the COM
missioner a to the account of taxes
due is final and conclusive, and there
fore binding upon both parties. The
act provides that no suit or proceed
ing for the recovery of any tax or
| penalty alleged to have been errone-
ously or illegally assessed or collect
| ed shall be begun before six months
| from the date OF filing (unless the
commissioner renders a decision there
| on within that time) nor after the ex-
! piration of five years from the date
of payment of such tax or penalty.
| 1t is provided also that the amount
| of income, excess profits, and war
profits taxes due for the year 1921
and succeeding years shall be deter
mined and assessed by the commission
| er within four years after the return
was filed, and the amounts due for
prior years within five years after
the return was filed unless the COM
| missioner an dthe taxpayer consent In
writing to a later determination, as
sessment and collection. Except in the
case of false or fraudulent return
or failue to file required return nc
| suit or proceeding for the collection
of such taxes shall be entered after
the expiration of five years from thu
date the return was filed or became
due. This provision does not affee
proceedings begun at the time of thu
passage of the revenue act of 1921
November 20, 1921.
The act provides that under certain
conditions interest at the rate of one
half per cent a month shall be pait
upon claims for abatement and refunt
of taxes enormously collected from tn
!, date of payment of the tax to the dat
of allowance of the claim. Taxpayer
} are no longer invited to submit sue
| claim, but upon audit of the return
they will receive certificate Of over
t assessment and check in correction
