TAX-CUT PROGRAM
See Promotion of General
Prosperity in Proposal
of Treasury.

The proposal to the present Con-

suance of tax-eXempt securities made
by Andrew w. Mellon Secretary of
the treasury, has been emphatically
Endorsed by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards as a plan, not
of partisan interest, but of promotion
OF increased general prosperity
RSduCtiOn of federal taxes will
greatly help toward reducing high
prices of property and of rents, and
Will pr.mote better living csndit:ns,
resolutions just adopted by the aSso-
cations board of directors point out.
"A communication to the committee
on ways and means of the House of
Representative will be sent out by

Treasury in the formulation of rev.
tnue measures be carried out by the
present Congress.
L. f.. Eppich OF Denver, president

port of the National Association OF

suggestion that has been advanced

is burned from the top downward.
The claim is made that the special
arrangement of CRATES. which permits
the material to burn downward. elm
mates any possibility of the forma
tion of noXious odors. The odor of
burning garbage is due to the forma-
tion of gases which are not complete

of the material any gases produced
most pass through the flames and are
completely consumed. Moreover, the
fire sterilizes the entire lue and the
garbage will not decay between burn

Home Garbage Incinerators
Found Cheap and Practical

1t has only been within recent
years that the whole obnoxious COL
lection and removal of garbage has
been regarded as anything but an un-
avoidable evil.
However, it is now possible to de-
stroy household garbage in the very
place in which it is produced, with
out the formation of unpleasant
odors and other attendant unpleas-
antness. and even do away with the
garbage can itself
4 system has been devised which,
it is claimed, clearly demonstrates
that in the waste from normal
household there is more than enough
combuStible material in the form of
paper. rags and the like to dry out
the moisture from the remaining part
of the garbage. and when dry nearly
all garbage is readily combustible.
This system, therefore, in it's final re-
suits reduces the garbage to ashes.
and 1t is claimed that the ashes ac-
cumulate so slowly that it only calls
for removal once in about every three
months.

HOW ALICE DIED
By Ruth Agnes Abeling

"Not that-you can't mean it?"
Kate half questioned
Sing 10y nodded, duly.
Kate touched the faxon fluff at
the back Of Alice's head. She stood
foolishIy turning a curl on her fin
ger, a curl which Alice never would
need to tuck back into it's place
again. She marveled at the lowell
ness of the texture of the hair and
skin and then felt ashamed Of her

blond while she lived-come in now
and speak of the prettiness Of her

hair-arid they'd pity her.
That was like women, Kate
thought.
She turned to Sing 10y.
"Why?" she asked simply.
Sing 10y shook his head. The
thing seemed beyond words to him,
incomprehensible.

SOME BIG FORTUNES.
GONE TO TIE DOGS.

From reports reaching this office
We are convinced that some folks
in this country, in the midst of
so much suffering and want in
the human family, have too much
money for their own good
We read in the papers the 9TH
err day that
"A hotel for dogs is to be built
in Los Angeles, Calf, at cost
of $4,000, and that all the rooms
will be provided with baths and
nurses in charge to wash and brush
the dear little doggies."
We have in this land folks who
would welcome some such attcn-
tion as is to be furnished in this
dog hotel. The "benefactors" SO
far have kept their names. out of
print.
From no less authority than
Henry Ford's Dearborn Independ-
ent we get the information of an
other instance Of wanton wasteful-
ness. Here is an inscription that

what will probably be the largest
animal hospital in the world;

York, who claimed that her dogs
are more perfectly trained than
children. For this reason, it is re-
ported, Mrs. Nellie has been aften
urged to direct her energies to the
training Of children. But in ex-
pending her fortune, she doesn't
even go fifty-fifty with the kid

yet neither has any place in this

fering exists.

THE WORLDS MOST PERFECT
SERVANT

The worlds most perfect ser
want is claimed by the Pullman
Company. He's David G. Scot,
~ years old. Scott had to re-
tire from regular work in 1919,
but he still has his uniform and
goes to work when the sleepers run
out Of porters and flash the emer-
gency call.
Scott served as a porter for
nearly As years. Outing all that
time he received 476 credit marks
and not one demerit or complaint.
As in many other organizations,
porters have their rating and kicks
or boosts are registered on their
grade cards.
This is a remarkable record. 1t
is no easy thing to satisfy all
corners of one generation, let alone
several generations. Scott started
as a porter in 1870. He was able
to adapt himself to changing times.
During his many years of service,
he must have had to put up with
thousands of cantankerous people
who were about as easy to handle
as hot stovelids upside down on
the floor.
No matter how good we average,
we are judged more by our mis-
takes than by our good points. A
cynical statement, possibly, but
true. There is something about
the average person, living in
high-strung nervous age, that
seems to keep him constantly
watching for something to object
to.
Good and courteous service, we
take as a matter of course. But
let some person crack under the
strain of handling the public and
the immediate comeback is; IN
