the expenses paid by the government. !

offers Of our government. ! haven't time
and space to tell much about it,. There wat
just one serious objection | had about this
camp, that was having to get up at $3.50
O'Clock in the morning, nfter being awak-
ened by the noise of a discharged cannon.
1t woke all that were not dead. Then, after
bres kfast, we would go out to the drill
field, where we were taught the manual of
arms for about y hours. Following that
was exercise for about the same length of
time with a good rest and sociable
smoke by all who cared to do Several
times during that time, from $50 till IL 80,
we INDUCED in relays or games which were
very simple and interesting. We then re-
turned to our company street and prepared
for good dinner. You were then free to
attend the many and various kinds of games

we were allowed to go to the rifle range

aTT0OT. Inc way 10 the SellLllllSlltelA
girls heart is to take the poetry
trail.
You can get her positively doped
on Swnburne and Indian love lyrics.
Talk to her about her soul and she
will just lap it up. Send her a ten
cent bunch of violets because you
say they made you think Of her eyes
and she would rather have them
than a tiara.
Tell her that you never loved be-
fore, and that you have gone
through the world locking in vain
for the Only One until you found
her, and that you recognized her on
sight as your predestined mate, and
she will swallow it whole and ask
for more. Remember a few dates
the time you first met her, the time
she wore a blue dress, and she is
yours. You can send out the we'd
ding invitations.
Then there is the timid girl. The
is sweet, and gentle, and appealing
mind who can't decide what she
wants to eat in a restaurant. and
who always buys the wrong clothes.
Never ask a girl who can't de-
eide instantly between lobster New
burg and a club sandwich, or who
doesn't know whether she would
rather go to the movies or to grand
opera, if she will marry you. Cave
man stuff is the play here.
Tell her that you are going to
trot her around to the parsons on
the twelfth day Of next month, and
that you are going to live together
happily ever afterward because you
are the handsomest, cleverest, most
gifted man in the community, and
that she is a lucky woman to get
you. And she will believe every
word of it. That kind of a woman
needs master as much as home
less dog does, and she adores the
man who bosses her.
Then there is the pious girl. Great
little church worker. Belongs to all
the anti-societies. Has an innocent
and naive vanity that makes her be.
lieve that she has a special call to
reform the world.
That type of girl has morbid
curiosity about wickedness, and the
man who wants her can enthrall her
by painting himself past as black

CAN HEAR THE STARS
Scientists Invent Apparatus Which
 Enables Them To "Listen In"

Paris, April lit now is possible really to hear the song of the stars" thanks to researches undertaken by General Ferie, NJ. Jouaust and Major Mesny of the French military wireless laboratory who have transformed
 int rays into audible sounds, ac-
 ding to a description Of their in- Ncniion read at a meeting of the Academy of Science.
 The eNpcrimenters, starting with the knowledge that. under the action Of light, photoelectric cells with a foundation of sclcnium give off an eN- tremely feeble electric current, ampli- fled this current with four-electrodc lamp. Using this apparatus they ob- tained variations of current of s.5 micro-amperes with light from the star Capela, untold millions of miles from the earth. Continuing their eN- reriments with more powerful ampli- fers they succeeded in "hoaring" tho light rays through teephonic head pieces.
 The work Of pcrfccting the discov. cry is proceeding in the laboratory.

CURZoN AND BALDWIN
Two Prominent British Politicians

London, April i.--Marquis Curzon, former foreign secretary, is now able to commiserate, or rejoice as the case may be, with his fellow conservative chieftain, former Premier Stanley Baldwin, at having a member of the family in the parliamentary labor party.
 In Baldwin's case 1t is his son, Oliver. and in Curson's, his son Jaw, Lieut. Oswald E. Nosley, who wrote Premier Macdonald asking admission to the labor party and has been gladly welcomed.
 Lieut.. Mosley, 27 years old, was or- isinslly elected to the commons as a conservative and reelected as an in- dependent.

BRITISH FINANCES
1senort Showing That Incomes Exceed Expenditures We'll Received By London Newspapers.

London, April 1.-The official fig ures for the fiscal year ended last night, showing that the total income of the United Kingdom was 4S,s2a.- o7s pounds more than the expendi- lures for the period, arc greeted with satisfaction by the majority of the morning newspapers. The figures as given out by the EScheauer were. revenue s37,lsa,eS4 pounds; expendi- lures, 7SS,S40,sli pounds.
 One feature upon which the com mentators dwell is that during the year Great Britain reduced her na- uonal debt by SS,000.O00 pounds. Of this 4o,00o,e00 pounds was provided in the last budget, while the iS,e00,00o pounds surplus now an- nouneed has been automatically ap- piled to the debt redemption.
 This result is iattering to our national pride in finance" says the Times in an editorial glowing with satisfaction. Some of the comments, however, are disgrunted that such big sums were applied to debt re- dcmption, the complaints being loud est from these papers which disagree with former Premier Baldwin's ar engagement for dealing with the debt to the United States and which elamor for reduction in taxes.
 The Times, recognizing that the hopes for tax relief in the coming budget will be rekindled by the rev. enne returns, hopes that the chancel- Tor Of the Exchequer. Philip Snow den, will adhere to the Baldwin pol icy hy increasing the fixed sinking fund to i5,oO0,0o0 pounds. in which case, it admits, there will be a com small margin for remis- sion of taxation.

DUTIES RESTORED
Japan to Again Levy Taxes On Arti- cles That Have Come in Free Since Earthquake Tragedy.

Earthquake Tragedy.
 By The Associated Press.
 Tokio, April 1.-Import duties on most of the commodities which have entered Japan duty-free or a reduced rates since the September earthquake, will be restored to the normal sched- ule today
 A few reconstruction necessities will remain on the free list for while but the authorities believe that the gradual return of something like normal conditions iustiies the res- toration of most of the tariffs.
 Yesterday saw the climax of a great race of land cargoes before the closing of the duty-free period. a race which has coneested practically every port in Japan with merchandise of all descriptions taxing landing and stor- age facilities beyond their capacity and throwing the organization of prin- cipal seaports into chaos.
 Articles for which the duty exemp- tions will apply for a further period, probably six months, are steel sheets. iron pipe. telephones and telephone equipment, motor trucks and access sories, motor engines and part. Rice also will remain on the free list for a time.
 The tariff exemption regulations were made shortly after the earth quake to expedite imports of recon struction materials and necessarios and to keep prices down.
