ADJUSTMENTS
NATI0NAL-Willy Burmester's
Recital.

Willy Burmester has been acclaimed
by many European critics to be the
greatest violnist of his time He was
certainly master of his bow in his
first appearance in Washington as an
artist at the National Theater yester-
day afternoon. His work should not be
compared with that of Kreiser the
faVorite of the American public, for
Burmester plays so entirely differently
and presents a program of numbers not
generally associated with Kreisler's
popular repertoire.
Burmester is very tall and almost
austere in his appearance until he be-
gins to play. Then the little laugh
wrinkles pucker the corners of his eyes
and his very eyebrows delicately regis
ter his concentra tion on the particular
composition which he is playing, while
he watches his audience keenly to catch
the mood in which the listeners respond
to each selection.

WASHINGTON, Nov. TO-. The

Income tax returns examined today

Yet there has been no great increase
in labor cost nor in the cost of wheat

Bottom Drop i'm 1921
The years 1919. 1920 and 1921 repre-
sent the most recent tide in business
In 1919 business conditions were ex-
tremely prosperous. In 1920 they were
not so good and by 1927 the bottom
had fallen out and poorest conditions
in business prevailed.
But baking corporations experienced
no such tide. They had increasing
prosperity.
In 1919 baking corporations reported
total net incomes Of 500 993o04 and
average net income Of S44.303
In 1920-much poorer business year

business suffered most In 1919 such
corporations reported net incomes Of
$62, Ss7 .9S6 and the average was
s190,509. In 1920 the net income had
dropped to 22.656.404 and the aver
age was S27, 1893 In 1921 the total in

The Men who fought our battles,
Who did the work of war;
They have not yet forgotten
What they were fighting for.
The Statesmen and the Diplomats
Conduct things as they may,
But the Men who fought the battles
Will have the final say.
The Men who fought our battles,
French, Latin, English, Yank,
The common ordinary lads
OF plain Buck-Private rank
The boys who faced the He'll of 1t
And know what battles cost
VIII not stand meekly by and see
Their mighty labors lost.
The Men who fought our battles
And watched their Buddies die
VIII see the dead died not in vain,
Or know the reason why;
And though the world is torn and
racked
With suffering athrob.
The Men who fought our battles
Are still upon the job.
And though Peace is a longer task,
They'll surely see it through,
Till all the dreams for which thew
fought
Shall finally come true.
The spirit that was in their hearts
Has neither changed nor passed.
And the Men who fought the battles
Will win the Peace at last.
