Good Manners

It is not very often that the
host is present on his wife's day
''at home" since business usual
" claims his time during the
day. There is no reason, how
ever, why he should not be pres
ent, if he desires, and it is con-
venient for him. His duty, of
course, is to share in the hOnors
and obligations OF the occasion.
When it can be arranged. it is
delightful for husband and wife
to receive. their friends together.

Do stars differ i'm chemical com
position?


A spectroscopic analysis of star
light shows the atmospheres of the
cooler stars are full of the vapOrs of
metals. while in the hotter stars the
metals are largely replaced by gases
such as hydrogen and heliUm, says
Science Service. This has been taken
as an indication that the stars do
differ in chemical composition, but
recent research indicates that the
hotter and cooler stars are nearly the
same in chemical composition. Gases
like helium are so hard to set shining

How can the slime from the in
side of the intestines of sheep be
removed?
The method depends on the purpose
for which they are to be used. AS
rule, the only thing to do is to wash
them. Scrape them with a dull knife
and wash again thoroughly. Care
must be taken when scraping the in
testines, as there is danger Of cutting
a hole in them.

The writer would hate to be obliged
to express an opinion today as to
whether there is in Germany a ma
jority which has learned from ex-
perience that resistancesto the trea-
ties in various ways In the last four
years has cost the country more than
their execution would have cost So
long as the German people are un-
convinced of that, their troubles will
only increase. When concerned. they
yield. as they did in September when
they suddenly ceased financing the
Ruhr resistance. But they yield at
one point only to resume obstruction
at another. as has been the case with
ornaments, the increasing import
ance of which has been shown in the
writer's recent dispatches.
All this goes on amid a financial
and monetary situation without pre-
cedent and SURPRISING imaginations.

O g BabSOn Speaks
On Production AS Well
AS Taxation Problems

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, jan
Glow much of your productive
time during 1922 was used in pay
ing taxes?
Roger Babson, the statistician an
swered the question today, in a
statement that shows the equivalent
of one day each week spent to meet
the direct and indirect X that
nation, state, county and city levy.
"One hour and twenty minutes of
each business ddy-or enc entire day

Babson. THAT is the lesson a re-
CEN analysis showing that one-sixth
of our national income goes for
taxes, federal, state and local. The
amount divides almost equally be-
tween national taX&tion and the ex-
penditure for state and local pur-
roses. The question is not, there
fore, one Of any particular party
politics.
This habit of getting the gov
eminent to do something about it is
one of the most costly and wasteful
ideas that we Americans have de-
veloped. 1t has growE upon us since
the war. We became accustomed to
things then that would not have had
cell alteration before. Now we are
exceeded by one nation only, Great
Britain, in our cost Ct being gov
erned. There the unemployment
doles' and other legislation put for
ward by a stronger labor vote have
exceeded anything attempted here as
yet. But this tendency must be
checked abruptly if American bust
ness is to survive in the competition
which it faces over the next five to
ten years.
