PHOTOGRAPHED A CITY

photograph Of the surface of the
earth taken from the highest altitude
at which any such photograph has
ever been made is now on exhibition
at the War Department in Washing
ton. The picture is of Dayton. Ohio,
and it was taken from 1920 feet
above sea level by Lieuts- MacReady
and Stevens of the Army air service
at IL am. of May 2. The altitude
is a little more than six miles above
Dayton. 49,
Although the usual ground haze
was present when the picture was
taken, it is exceedingly clear in def
milton, and motor cars and street cars
can be distinguished in the streets
six miles beneath tho camera This
result was accomplished by use of a
minus blue" ray filter. which cuts
out the blue light of the ground haze.
Superseded film was used. enabling
the employment of a very deep ray
filter. giving exceptional clearness:
AS the temperature was SIS de-
grees below zero Fahrenheit when
the picture was taken, special cleo
trio waIning devices had to be used
for the camera as well as for the
aviators.
The use of ray filters to cut out
ground haze makes it possible to take
pictures of equal clearness at any
practicable altitude, Army air service
experts say. The haze occurs up to
an altitude of from 5000 to 10000 feet,
above which the atmosphere is exceed
ingly clear.

IMPORT REGULATIONS
ON COTTON RELAXED

WASHINGTON, May I4.-Ihe
Federal Horticultural Board an
nounces a modification, in the in
terest of the importers, of the
regulations governing the importa-
ton of cotton and cotton wrap
pings into the United State issued
under the authority of the order
of the secretary Of agriculture of
April 81, 1915, bringing the admis-
sion of foreign lint under restric-
ton to. guard against the entry
with such of the pink bollworms
and other injurious insects.
Under these regulations, GER
tain classes of cotton and cotton
products which have been so maru-
featured as to have eliminated al
seed, or which have been so pro
cessed as to have destroyed all in
sect life, were made subject to
disinfection, if covered with wrap
ping previously used to cover
foreign cottons, due to the posi-
bility of cotton and cotton seed
adhering to such wrappings.
After several years experience
in the enforcement of these regu-
lations, the board believes the re
quirement of disinfection on ac-
count of wrappings to be unneees-
sary, and this requirement is now
withdrawn.

The result will be that the whole

going to be a steady increase Of
what has become evident during

PULLMAN SURCHARGE
WILL BE ABOLISHED

ATLANTA, May 14.-The sur
charge on Pullman and chair cars
of the railroads appears doomed,
according to Hon. ]. A. Perry, mem
Der of the Georgia Public Service
Commission, in a statement made
public here today, recalling the &C
ton Of the Georgia commission on
the subject.
Removal of the surcharge has
already been recommended to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
by Examiner Keeler.
The surcharge, has been explain
ed heretofore as an extra transport
tation charge, an increase of the
regular railroad fare to pay for
the extra cost to the railroad Of
hauling the heavier Pallman cars
which carried fewer passengers in
proportion to size and weight. The
examiners report, Mr.. Perry shows
takes into consideration the fac
that the railroads are saved the
capital investment in Pullman
equipment, and that most of the
railroads are receiving substantial
payments out of charges collected
for Pullman service proper ana it
is believed the time has come when
the commission may well eliminate
the surcharge
The Georgia Public Service Com
mission acted on the question n
1921. Following a resolution by
Commissioner Perry, which was ap-
proved by the commission, the sur
charge was eliminated for some
thing more than a year in Georgia,
with a saving in Georgia of approx
imately $150,00O.
This was abrogated by the In,
terstate Commerce Commission, eff
fectiye August 10, 1922.
The records show that the sur
charge received by the railroads Of
Che entire country in 1922 amount

HARRIS TAX BILL
MAY Be APPROVED
Atlanta Business Men Expect
Congress to Act Favorably
On Amendment

ATLANTA, May IA ultimate
approval by Congress is expected
by busisess men here of the amend
ment of U. S. Senator VIM. J. H3r-
ris Of Georgia to exempt from in
come tax all single persons whose
net incomes do not exceed $4,000
each and all heads of families and
married persons whose net incomes
do not exceed $4,000 each, He has
offered the amendment in the Uni
ted States Senate, but She Republi-
can members Of the finance COM
mittoe have declined to consider the
proposal but insist upon their plan
as a whole. The Harris amend
ment would also stop persons from
submitting income tax returns
where their net exemptions do not
require them to pay any tax what
ever.
Senator Harris spoke in the Sen
ate in support of his amendment,
and showed where 81 per cent Of
the two and one half millions peo-
pie now paying income tax would
be relieved He said 35,179 tax
payers in Georgia would be saved
the trouble and expense Of making
out returns.
Senator Harris said the cost OF
administering the present law is
about $25,Oo0,OOO and a great part
of this would be saved in elmina-
ting 81 per cent Of the tax pay
ers. He said further that the loss
in revenue of s18,000,0OO under
this amendment would be offset
largely by the saving in admin
stration and salaries.
