DEMOCRATS SILENT

Tn all discussion aroused by the unfolding oT Secretary Mellon's plan for iaN reduction, even with the president be- liete1 to be preparing to urge its i,;3>.7ig, aS an administration measure in his message to congress, no re spunsible authority has conc for ward with any asuraucc that the democrats in congress will support such q measure,

On { the other hand, the proposal of Sena- | tor Shoot and others to have q bonus measur, be paid for by q sales tax or similar means would not, If is be- 1 iicvrd. seriously atipct any proposed reduction in th" income tax. Fur ! therulors, ii is believed m many quar- t"rs that Secretary Mellon erred in

FLANK ATTACK IS DEADLY
No Stroke More Dreaded BY Military
Comma anders-Abundant Shown
In History Of eatties.

The flank attack is one Of the
deadliest moves known to warfare.
An army is, by its nature, a linear
thing. Not only is it strung out
man by man, it's mind and it's power
OF action are also most hopelessly
one-track.
An army in action usually con-
sists OF men breast to breast, all
facing one way. Before it is its
zone Of effectiveness, its raiding
limits, its charging radius, and the
ground which it can cover with pro-
jectiles. Behind it lie its commu-
nications, and the wherewithal of
the meal that can never be many
hours distant.
While an army is engaged it
turns only with great difficulty. 1t
has only a definite quantity Of en-
ergy to expend; if that goes into
maneuvering it cannot 60 into fight
ing. An enemy who appears on an
army's flank, therefore, finds a foe
particularly assailable. The latter's
effective zone may easily cover .
portion Of the army and inflict severe
damage before the necessary read
justment can be made. A fanked
army knows this. It is therefore
usually true that q panic results
once an army is turned.
The history Of battles is full Of
such instances. Caesars Commen-
taries frequently note: "Our cavalry
appears on their wing, they turn
their backs, great slaughter en-
sues"

Surprise milk contests-cOntests In

have been very effective In improving
the milk supply Of many cities. Con-
tests Of this kind carried out with the
assistance Of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture have shown re-
markabie results In q number Of west
ern cities. The bacterial counts and
the total milk scores for the cities were
made up from the results of tests Of
samples from each Of the delivery sys-
TENS.
In Long Beach, Calf, the average
bacterial count In the first contest was
11S,238; In the last contest It was
down to ll.S23. In the first the aver
age score Of the milk sold there was
71.56, and In the last II was up to 0O.67.
The milk sold In Riverside, Calf, I'M

result Of these surprise contests, made

Ing the score from 5000 to 01.66. The
figures Of Portland. Ore. changed from

cubic centimeter Of Seattle milk was
brought from 84.l24 down to S1.207.
and the score was lifted from $3.50 to

A milk dealer does not like to be sur
prised with dirty milk on his wagons.
especially when the results Of the tests
are to be published In the local papers.
When his score goes up he finds the
number Of his customers goink up;
when the bacterial count increases he
