ANNUAL MESSAGE SAYS ECONOMY
 BE WATCHWORD
May Be Possible to Reduce Taxes Next Year If
 Ills Are Remedied

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-President Coolidge advised Congress in his an nual message today that perhaps the most important work it could do at the present session would be to prac- tice such rigid economy as to make possible reduction of taxes during the next fiscal year.
 The government can do more to remedy the ills of the people by a system of rigid economy in public expenditures than can be accomplish ed through any other action. Altho stressing economy President Cool idge presented a wide range of other recommendations, some new and Oth- CTS reiterations of proposals made a year ago in his first annual message.
 Most of these related to domestic affairs, but he also went into the field of international relations to re- new his plea for American adherance to a permanent court of international justice; to declare the United States not to be disposed to join the League of Nations; to appeal for support by public authorities and private citi- zens; for a European separations set clement plan, and to repeat his dec laration of opposition to the cancel lation by the United States of debts owned the country by foreign na. tions.

BOUNTY HUNTERS WIN
 BIG SUMS BY FRAUD

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 3.-The coy Ote, the fox and the wolf long have stood as synonyms of guile and re- sourcefulness, but many hunters have put these animals to shame accord ing to accounts related by A. K Fish CT of the Federal biological survey, who recently passed through here on an inspection trip.
 Thousands of dollars have been collected illegally by dishonest hunt CTS, MT. Fisher declared. He said the most famous fraud was perpetrated in Wisconsin where $250,OOO was paid on the heads of wolves shipped in from Nevada. He added that about $1S,OOO was paid in Pennsylvania before the deception was discovered.
 Wisconsin did not have many var hints, so the head hunters organized and sent men to Nevada where there were many wolves, the animals being killed and the bags shipped to Wis. cousin and Pennsylvania
 Another favorite trick of the boun- ty hunter, according to Mr. Fisher, is to alter rabbit and squirrel scalps so they resembled young coyotes and wolves.

METHUSELAH MERE BOY OF
 EIGHTY SAYS PROFESSOR

BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 3.-That Methuselah isn't even the oldest man in the annals of history is the firm belief of Prof. R. T. Crawford, of the astronomy department of the Uni versity of California.
 According to Genesis, Methuselah attained the improbable age of 969 years." he said.
 However, the people of that time reckored time by cycles, term many of us have misinterpreted as being the equivalent of one of our calendar years, whereas in all probability the Biblical term means lunar cycle, or a period about equal to one of our months.
 Figured in this way Methuselah' s age comes to about eighty years.
