 Mir. Gaillard said the Armageddon of stat~s rights had arrived. The decision of the supreme court had practically reduced authority of the state commissions on state rates to nullity. He paid high tribute 10 the Conner rates and declared that they had been regarded by tiie com mission as a sacred trust. He like wise urged appeal to Alabama rep resentatives to support the Sweet bill for restoring powers of the state bodies.

INCOME TAX FALLS SHORT OF LAST YEAR
No Figures Available, But Re- ceipts Will Be 25 Per Cent
 Off, It Is Stated

It was announced yesterday at the offices of the collector of internal revenue that the number of income tax reports this year was approxi- mately 25 per cent less than last year. It was pointed out that this decrease was probably due to the business con- ditions and unemployment as well as the increase in the amount of exemp- ton of married men to s2.5oo this year, over s2.ooo last year.
 In numerous cases only few cents were paid as income tax and in one case only one cent was received as income tax payment. it was stated yesterday.
 When questioned as to the amount paid, the officials did not reply stat ing that as yet they had no Idea but that they were sure that it would be smaller than last year.

Modern Alchemy Changes Color of Gold

THE experiments OF the chemist when

nights upon any such bootless labor, but

they are quite convenient. In their way
they gather knowledge of the big city, too,

requirements encompass the college girl.

The professors know the eagerness for
