which will be applied to wiping out the deficit.
 Vigorous Campaign On.
 With a balanced budget depending on collection of back taxes, the wig orous campaign to make the delin- auent tax payer and tax dodger toe the mark has been inaugurated. and treasury officials are optimistic that it will be effective.
 The campaign Is planned to be far reaching. It is likely that nearly all of the 2.6oO collectors of the internal revenue bureau will be called into action, now that they have cleared up details of the income tax colle&- tions for the first quarter.
 While treasury officials decline to make an estimate of the amount they expect to collect, the campaign prom ises to bring in at least enough to make up the budget deficit along with the other two increased sources of revenue. Last year total of 2l1,- 635 warrants of distraint were issued. and sS,902,306 was collected by this agency. The campaign this year is to be more aggressive than that of last year and much greater returns are expected.
 Action At Kansas City.
 The first action was taken at Kan sas City, where 500 delinquent war rants were issued. This will be promptly followed in other cities throughout the country.
 The warrant of distraint is spe- cial provision of federal revenue laws. After two formal ten-day mo- tices 1t can be issued It provides for tAe sale of goods. chattels and affects" of the delinquent with cer- tain exemptions, sufficient to satisfy the amount of the tax, with per cent penalty and interest at the rate of 12 per cent year added. If such personal property Is not sufficient to cover the entire amount, collectors are authorized to seize and sell real estate or business property. All such sales must be advertised.
 The campaign is being pushed also because the statute of limitation is making 1t impossible for the govern ment to take legal action against tax dodgers for 1917. when war profits were large and consequently much revenue lost.

Holding her light high, she began to
encircle the glade clear to the barrier
of the cliffs.
With courage and strength such as
she had not dreamed she possessed,
she launched forward. But fatigue
was breaking her now. The tree roots
tripped her faltering feet, the branches
cIutched at her as she passed. 1t was
hard to tell what territory she had
searched, or how far she had gone.
The Pickering light revealed a tree,
freshly cut, its naked stump cleaning
and its tall form lying prone. Yet be
meath it the shadows were of strange,
unearthly shape, and something
showed stark white through the green
foliage. Great branches stretched over
it, like bars over a prison window.
Her strength wilted and for an in
slant she could only stand and gaze
with fixed. unbelieving eyes. But al
most at once the unquenchable fires
of her spirit blazed up anew.
Instantly she vas beside the form
of her comrade and enemy, struggling
with the cruel limbs that pinned him
to the earth.

Doubt About Some Precious Stones.

Doubt ABOUT SOME PRECIOUS otoHes.
In olden times there was no such
fine discrimination in jewels as is the
case today. No expert has been al
lowed to examine the famous Bragan-
"a diamond In the crown jewels OF
Portugal; there Is a strong probable
ity that what passes for a diamond Is
merely a colorless topaz. The terms
"ruby" and "carbuncle" In olden days
meant any red stone. from the true
ruby to the garnet. Scholars are still
undecided whether the word translaf-
ed as sapphire" In the Old Tesla
ment referred to the stone which we
know as sapphire or 20 that which is
now called lapis lazuli.
