MAN LOSES EVE

NAPA. Cal, Dec. sou. P)-
Ah Fong knew that his pet deer
was a beautiful animal but he never
thought it would knock his eye out.
All Fong, who is the cook for the
Doak Ranch near Oakville, found a
pretty faun a year ago and raised it
as pet. The faun was an interest
ing and affectionate companion. The
other day, however, All Fong went
to feed the now strong buck when
the animal suddenly became savage,
knocked his friend down, trampled
him and pierced Fong's right eye
with an antler tip. Ranch hands
heard Fong's cries and rescued him
from the infuriated buck, but not
until he had lost sight of his right
eye.

BERLIN, Dec. 30.-(A. P.)-Box-

school buildings of Berlin. In an
nouncing the prohibition, the muni-
cipal board of education gave no
reason for the decision simply noti-
fying the rectors that the gymnasi-

form of sport. Organizations which
have been conducting the contests

further access to the buildings. In

Ample funds for the program are

Observation-Disclosures Harding in.
formed Congress he considered a gen.
eral sales tax the only feasible method
of raising funds for a soldier bonus.
The executive in letter addressed to
Chairman Fordney of the House Ways
and Means Committee suggested that
unless Congress saw fit to enact a sales
tax passage of bonus legislation should
be postponed.
Il believe" the President wrote, "the
American people will accept the levy of
a general sales tax to meet the pro.
posed bonus payments, and we should
contribute thereby no added difficulties
to the problems of readjustment. II
Congress will not adopt such a plan it
would be wise to let the legislation
go over until there is situation which
will justify the large outlay"
Declaring that the Government had
under consideration the disposition of
surplus war properties and other trans.
actions which should bring great re.
lief" to the treasury, the President said
1t would be wise to let the legislation
go over II Congress did not deem it
advisable to adopt the sales tax.
The Presidents letter was regarded
generally at the Capitol as leaving the
bonus situation even more complicated
than before. Senate and House sub.
committees were to meet late in the
day to receive and consider the White
House communication.
When the sales tax was discussed
in the subcommittee last week it is
understood that Senators were inform.
