ONE REEL YARNS
THE MYSTERIOUS VOICE
VOL. mo. II

You people are surely very lucky"
said MIR. Phillips. who had stopped In
to talk to the Peters family. '.It ts
very strange that your apartment was
not entered by that gang"
1T just makes me sick all over when
l think OF the things they might have
taken" said Mrs. Peters. IN Just hap
pened that no one was home in any of
the three apartments In this house, and
they made clean sweep in the other
two. The outer door was not locked,
you know, and they used skeleton keys
to get into the apartments themselves.
1t is strange that they skipped u.s.
ut surely u.s. said Mr.. Peters. They
were clever crowd. When they were
captured they said they went TO an
apartment, rang the bell, and waited to
see II any one called down the speak
ing tube. II some one did, they pre-
tended they rang the wrong bell. II no
one answered. they went ahead. The
people In this building got bacla only
about half the things that were stolen"
eft sure is funny" chimed In Harry
L was at school the day they made the
haul in this building. and mother was
up town. while dad was at work. They
could have gotten in easy enough"
The excitement OF the robbery blew
over and was not brought I'D again
until nearly week later. One evening
Harry went up town after school to
meet his father. and they came home
together. The outer door had been fur
nlshed with a lock. so they rang their
bell. There was no answer. so they
rang again. Mothers probably gone
down TO the grocery" said Harry.
He had hardly finished speaking
when q voice called down the speaking
tube, Come on UP. come on Up" Har-
~ Jumped.
That's old polly" laughed ~, Pc
tiers. Don't look so scared. Yes
heard US say that when the bell raag.
He's funny old bird
Harry clapped his hands and looked
at his father with shining eyes.
Don't you see. Dad" he cried, why
the burglars didn't get in our apart-
ment? And only the other day Mother
SAID she thought she'd get rid of Polly,
because he's a nuisance. Wait tin I
tell her!"

The more suggestions the better. No
matter from what source, If there be
merit in it, a suggestion will find
favor.
America needs two wage scales. A
domestic trade wage scale and an
export trade wage scale.
The labor unions can find work for
those four million men by a special
arrangement to provide exporters with
labor on export work only at half
price.
OF course, there would be complica-
ton in figures, but expert accountants
would reduce that to a mere matter
of bookkeeping.
The important fact is that American
manufacturers cannot get the bust
ness at American wages, in COMPETE
ton with other countries at other
countries wages.
1t is not desira BILE to cut American
wages all around.
It Is desirable. and urgently neces-
sary to find immediate employment
for those four million men.
Half a loaf is better than none.
If the labor unions and exporters
will get together, a system can be
arranged.
Full wage for married men, half
wage for single men should prevail.

Talking of the income tax PROPOSE
ton generally Collector Gerow said
that it would be we'll for the public
to understand that an error on the far
side in a retarRlwas very much more
desirable aRaround than one in which
the income was not fully given. 1t
was also well to remember that the
government does not notify those who
are liable to the tax. The law very
clearly declared that all persons hv-
ing in the United States, native or
foreign, receiving a gross income of
$1,000 or more are required to make
a tax return.- This applies to women
as well as men and single as we'll as
married people, heads of families, and
guardians
The return is required, even though
it may. be shown that the person MAX
ing it is not liable for a cent of taxes.
Blanks are sent to people who have
made returns in previous years-but
not to those who have not yet made
returns. The blanks can be had on
application to the collector and are
available by mail on request.
A fact that may not be generally
known is that people who are con-
stantly travelling and have no home
address, must make returns to the
collector of the Maryland district,
which district includes Washington, D.

Nm. E. Sweet
Visits Arvada

VIM, +. Sweet, Democratic candi-
date for governor, addressed small
gathering of people in Mcllvoy park
at noon Monday. The fact that Mr.
Sweet would be in Arvada was not
generally known, SO many people
who would have been glad to hear
him did not get out. His talk was
short and informal, but to the point.
His criticism of the Republican ad-
ADMINISTRATION was in about the same
language as was used by local Re
publicans befola. tie state convention
when John Vivian was making them
believe that the Shoup administra-
ton would be repudiated in the state
assembly.
Nh. Sweet impressed his hearers As
. coon level-headed, progressive busi-
ness man rather than the radical
POLITICAL spellbinder he has been pic
tured by the corporations, and their
political tools.
His idea of nbolishing the military
form of government is merely an
echo of what, We heard from the
Anti-shoup Republicans before they
we're whipped Into submission in the
state assembly and the primary.
His "socia!istic'' idea of building
warehouses to store potatoes met
with applause. when, he referred to
the editorial In last weeks Enter
prise, whereih it was compared to
the "capitalistic" idea Of the farmer
tuilding the Moffat tunnel for the
railroads.
Mr.. Sweet has promised to come
to Arvada arain soon. He\ will tell
you his plans for state aid for the
Farmers. HIS cooperative market
ing ideas are good and mean more
money for the producer without
increasing !he cost 70 the consumer
This ran Ia done hv eliminating the
