"War Is HIP; Men See Red Everywhere

the eye is not able to detect the indi-
vidual colors.
If, however, the light reflected to
the eye from some of the colored rarti-
cles can be eliminated the khaki ap-
pears to have changed in color. This
effect can be produced by ray filters,
pieces of colored glass which absorb
certain colors and transmit others.
Thus If a khaki color produced by
blend of red, orange and green Is
viewed through a methyl violet ray FL
ter it will appear red.
From this 1t Is evident that in the
selection of q protective color for army
uniforms 1t is just as important to
consider the color of each of the vari-
GUS dyes used as it is to consider the
protective value of the resulting blend,
since a small percentage of brilliant
dye in the blend may render an other
wise protective color readily visible
when viewed through a suitable ray
filter
The Germans have been working on
this problem also and have reached
what appears to be at least a partial
solution in the use of a cloth woven
with different colored threads. The
blend thus produced apparently is not
readily broken down by the use of ray
filters.

Lord Has Hope of S6O,OOOOOO Surplus

expenditures for 1922, Director Lord
said, indicated a reduction In 1923 Of
more than $20O,O00,000.
Customs receipts and internal reve-
nue. receipts since January have been
considerably above the estimates
which had been made by the Treasury
department. Customs payments have
established new records and the in
come and profits taxes for the first
quarter were more than $60.000,000
over the estimates.
In view of this the administration is
preparing to recommend moderate tax
reductions to the next congress, 1t was
stated.
The recommendation will include re-
vision of the income tax rates In the
middle brackets" on incomes above
5000 year and below $4,000. The
normal rate, affecting incomes below
5000, probably will not be reduced.
Some means will be sought Of shaw
ing the taxes now imposed on business.
Just how this will be worked out has
not been decided, as administration
leaders say 1t will have to be handled
carefully because Of the drive that will
be made for re-enactment of the ex-
cess profits tax.

H"HE khaki uniform of the army
may have to be changed as
a result of experiments now be-
ing conducted by the chemical
wiIrfare service of the army.
When the British eliminated the red
cCat and adopted the khaki color for
their fighting uniform 1t was assumed
that their troops were thus rendered
less visible to the enemy. This is still
true, If the khaki Is viewed with the
naked eye, but recent studies of color
have resulted in binoculars which rem
der some khaki just as visible as the
discarded red coat. In fact, some khaki
and even olive drab, experiments have
shown, appear bright red when seen
through field glasses fitted with suit
able ray filters.
The reason for this Is clear when one
realizes the manner in which khaki
color is produced and also the effects
which may be obtained by looking at
colored objects through suitably col
ored pieces of glass.
The dye used to produce the khaki
color Is a blend of a number of dyes,
such as red, orange and green, in
which each color is present in the
fabric as an individual. The particles
of the various colors are, however, so
minute and so intimately mixed that

force in 1874 and 1875.
The suit will specify price of 500

asked for the timbered area now in

defaulted in its written promises and
failed to perform its solemn obliga-

About twenty-five thousand individ-

suit, according to counsel for the In

action "to settle all the long-standing
disputes between the Sioux and the

When original estimates of receipts
and expenditures were made by treas
ury officials the statement was made
that a deficit of as much as $700,000.-
300 might be faced. This was cut
down in later estimates, and in the
most recent statements the prospective
deficit was put at $100,OO0,OO0 to $780,
100000, the hope being expressed.
however, that ways and means would
be found to wipe 1t out and balance
the budget.
In predicting that the threatened
deficit would be turned into a surplus,
Director Lord said that this was con-
tingent upon economy in and contin-
uance of the customs and internal rev.
enue receipts at the present high rate
until the end of the fiscal year. He
now estimates that the customs re-
ceipts for the year will total $540O00,-

ceipts will reach S2.615, 100000.

who was a candidate for governor of
Indiana in 1923. He was born in Ken
lucky in 1919 and spent his boyhood In
Indiana. He was graduated from West
Point in 1889 and served In the Semi
mole war qS39-42). His work In the
Mexican war (1S46-O made him lieu
tenant colonel. He next served on the
Utah expedition QS57-60) and the cam
paign against the Navajo Indians
(1s6O-6D. In the Civil war he was In
command of the department of New
Mexico (1S61-2) of New York during
the draft riots of 1S63 Of the depart,
ment west of the Mississippi 1S64-5).
He then entered the regular army as

terward commanded the Division OF

General Canty met his death April
II, 1873, near Siskyou, Cal. at the
hands of the Afodocs of the Lava
Beds. After much fighting a peace
commission met captain Jack and his
chiefs. Jack demanded to be allowed
to remain on Lost River. Candy re-

.~OUCHED by an unusual en-
h >deavor to show gratitude, Pres
ldent Harding directed the War

department to ascertain the
burial place of Gen. Edward R. S. Can
by, an officer In the Union army during
the Civil war. The President acted
upon receipt of letter from Charles
Hall, an aged attorney of Bay Min
nette, Ala, who wrote that he wanted
to place a wreath on the grave of Gen
eral Candy.
General Candy was In command OF
the Federal army at Fort Blakely, In
Baldwin county, Alabama" the Alaba-
man wrote the President. "The Con-
federate soldiers at Fort Blakely sur
rendered to him on April 8, 1855. On
the morning of April 10, 1865, General
Candy was in Fort Blakely and on that
day my father and 1 went to Blakely
to see General Candy to ask him for
something to eat, ms everything my ia
ther owned at that time was destroyed
by the Federal soldiers. We went into
Blakely In a one-horse wagon and Cen
eral Candy had the wagon filed with
the best kind of food.

tion answered promptly. Anyway, Gen.
