the present House or Senate bill with
Its complications.
There is another school of thought,
however, which thinks the present
bill ought to be accepted by the Pres
ident and a fight waged for further
tax revision later on. If the publicity
feature of the bill and other seriously
Objectionable clauses were eliminated,
such course might be viewed with
more favor at the White House.
The upShot of the whole thing is
that Congress is about to furnish the
President with a vital issue on which
to base his appeal for election next
November. Whether he signs the
pending bill or Vetoes it, the Presi-
dent will continue his effort to get
Scienf ifically adjusted scheme of
taxes adopted, the fundamental prin-
ciples of which were outlined by his
Secretary of the Treasury. Several
changes in the original Mellon plan
are acceptable to the administration;
in fact. the Treasury itself helped to
make some, but on the big question OF
surtaxes the administration is not yet
in a mood to compromise.

HoU Trollope Worked

In the Autobiography of Anthony

reprint, appears an account of thai
proiihc writer's method: According

Weather and Leather

Many people say their corns warn
'hem of changes in the weather, but
the corn is probably merely registering
the changes in the area of the leather
IN the shoe. This varies with the
amount of moisture in the air. A .
per cent change from normal either
way is about all the average foot can
stand without discomfort. Recently ]
a. Wilson gave the New York section
9t the American Chemical society the
results of experiments which show
that the amount of the pinching NAV
depend on the kind of tanning used on
the leather. He found that chrome
leather absorbed more water from the
air than did vegetable-tanned calf, and
was subject to much greater changes
IN area, with much more likelihood of
pinChng.

An American Duel.

One Of the stories that the late

what he called an American duel,
wherein two duellsts, with one second.
met within doors and drew lots to de-

was the unlucky man, and without
word he retired into the next apart
ment to carry out the purpose of self
destruction. B and the second very
much moved by the tragedy of the sit

At last the pistol was heard, and they
