$1OOO OO0 for the best 'peace plan ''-$5O 900 upon acceptance of the plan by the judges and $5O000 when the country, through act of congress by overwhelming popular approval accepted the for mula working basis. What most of remem Der about the $10O,0O0 contest is: First the size of the prize; second, the propaganda that used to put 1t over third the controversy that attended the award fourth, that somebody, professor, won the first $5OO0O. Few remember the of the winner the substance of his formula, accept that it something of rehashng of the league of na- tions covenant. Nobody seriously believes he ever will receive the remaining $50,00O, which will be his, his heirs assigns when the program is writ ten into laws.
 Dr. David Starr Jordan recently won $25,000 prize award for peace plan. The most interest ing fact about it to the in Main street was that he had forgotten all about his plan after he had submitted it, until he proclaimed the winner.
 Another peace prize winner is Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, better known in America as Lord Rob- ert Cecil, the leading proponent of the league of na- tions in the British empire Lord Cecil will attend dinner in his honor tomorrow night at which he will be presented a $25,O00 peace prize awarded by the Woodrow Wilson foundation, as the man of the present day who has done most toward promoting world peace This award differs somewhat from the others, in that it is recognition of actual achievement, in which respect 1t resembles the ta miliar Nobel prize award that is made annually.
 Worthy efforts in the direction of world peace deserve the highest commendation and reward. For that reason the Nobel and the Woodrow Wilson Foundation awards of thehghest value. The prizes offered for world peace formula IS chiefly important in promoting thecause of peace by center ing public attention the world desire of peace But, as the experience of the peacemakers at Yer saes has proved, it is difficult to outline a char ter of peace that is acceptable to all nations or that will not be abused and flouted by it's friends when they are not in position of being subject against their will to it's provisions.

LIVING TOO FAST

It often becomes tresome to hear the praise of good old days from those who conveniently re- member agreeable phases of life 1t used to be and forget the rest But it seems certain that i'll a by gone epoch room made for courteous and dellb- crate forms which is out teeming, hustlmg era we are inclined to neglect The Christmas holidays are supposed to provide nterlude Ill the business of getting and spending; but too often, in a wild rush and hot fever, it is wholly devoted to those very purposes instead of to the quiet assessment of true values and the re-estabishment of scale in- verted or perverted in our frantic helter-skelter days
 As life has been speeded up we have been i'll danger of becoming increasingly enmeshed in the machinery of our devisng. A shrewd observ- CT of life in Philadelphia said that used to be annoyed if they missed the weekly stage-coach to New York; then when trains came, they pro- voked if they missed the semi-daily eXpress at length they were perturbed when they lost the fast elevator to the umpteenth floor and when the partition in the revolving door escaped them they rushed in to their business Like the Red Queen in Alice of Wonderland we seem to have to make such speed in order to remain where we are The world of industry or society spins under feet, and if we do not move fast as the readmill we fall behind we miss trick and we feel lost and out of it. We cannot bide time on the step of an ascending stairway; must rush up 1t two steps at once carrying both hands full of baggage to some other, swifter of locomoton.
 How can we down and still arrive? Do we not all need and then to stop and ask our selves if we know where we are going and to in qure if the speed is necessary? 'Life does not consist of running to fire. Somehow the big gest of the busy people have way of looking un- employed and at ease that is tantalizng to the lit tle fretful fellows. If money is the incentive to hard work the largest wages are not paid to those who surround themselves with the most spectacular disorder at their task. Efficiency usually means a minimum of friction and confusion and time spent in contemplation and preparation before the task is begun.

THE ECLIPSE ON JANUARY 24.

If clear weather prevails on January 24 the people of the Eastern portion of the United States will witness the finest heavenly phenomenon of a generaton-a total eclipse of the
 While thepath of totality will be confined to a strip of territory running roughly from New Haven to Duluth the eclipse will be partial most of the Eastern half iof the United States.
 Elaborate preparations being made by sci entifc for taking photographs of the eclipse, which will be caused of course by the moon pas sage between the earth and the
 At the western limit of visibility the will rise ill eclipse while farther east the total eclipse will occur shortly after sunrise.
 When one reflects upon it, the fact that astrono- mers can predict eclipses with such unerrng accur acy is wonderful, but like many other wonders ac- complished by the minds of men-no longer excites any particular interest.
 Nothing is more certain than the movements of the heavenly bodies. As surely the sun rises on January 24, so surely will the moon appear di- rectly between the earth and the sun, causing the temporary eclipse of our solar system $ great uml- nary There is no guess work in the calculations of astronomers.

PRINCELY GIFTS OF 1924.

While the amounts given to educational, sclen- tfc and charitable purposes during the year of 1924 have not equalled those of some former years, the sums set aside for these purposes by American mill ionaires reached the total of approximately $780, 100000 for the year.
 A striking feature of the years giving the donation of $1, ,5O0000 by unknown donor to the Union Theological Seminary.
 During the past ten years the beneficence of two men of wealth stand above all others John D. Rocke- feller has donated the fabulous of $575 O,OOO to educational religious scientific and charitable ln- stitutions. Andrew Carnegie gave $35O,OOO,OOO for similar purposes, his hobby being public libraries. In these ten years gifts totalling billion and half have been made by Amercan and
 So while modern business practices make pos sibe the accumulation of vast fortunes, they also make possible magnificent phianthropic enterprises, which promote the advancement of knowledge and the progress of the world.
 More and more are of great wealth con- ing to the view that only by using for the benefit of humanity they leave behind them anything of permanent vaue or anything worthy of remem- brance.
 Two outstanding philanthropists of 1924 are James B. Duke who donated $4000O,000 and George Eastman of kodak fame, who gave $15,0O0,O00 for laudable enterprises during the year. MT. Eastman has so far given no less than $5SOOO,OOO from his fortune made from his epochial photographic in. ventions
 The safety of America is largely bound up in the fact that most of great captains of industry have human hearts and unbounded vision.

Not yet, but after awhile perhaps, the world will tote up the value of the various peace prizes that have been by the most skillfu of word ar lists and thinkers.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HYATTSVILLE, Md, June 20
The assessable basis of the corporation
of Hyattsville has been increased from
81 500 900 to practically 100000, as
the result of a reassessment of all
real and personal property recently
completed.
The mayor and council have fixed
the rate on the new assessment at 80
cents on each $100, which is 5 cents
lower than the prevailing rate. This
means that during 1925-26 the estl-
mated receipts on account Of general
tax collections will be about $16,5Oo
as against $4,000 collected during
1924-25.
1t is stated that based on the addi-
tional assessment it would have been
possible to have made the new rate
so or even Al cents, but it was nee
essary to levy $1,000 to pay the cost
Of making the new assessment, $2,Ze0
for repayment of loans, and 81 $50 for
the new Cadillac fire truck.
Councilman Charles D. Anderson,
chairman of the finance committee,
who worked out the budget, believes
that, with strict economy, the money
to be raised will be sufficient to place
Hyattsville on a sound financial basis
and that next year the rate or taxa
ton can be reduced.

COST TO j. s. WIPES
OUT SMALL TAXES
Senator Harris Would End
Income Assessments on
Two Classes.

Reduction of income taxes to the
limit the Treasury surplus will per
NIT was advocated yesterday by
Senator Harris of Georgia, who issued
a statement declaring that married
people whose income does not exceed
So 900 should be exempt from such
taxes. He also would exempt those
whose taxable income is not more
than $500, since. he said, it cost the
Government more to collect than it
receives from such taxes.
Costs Sc to Collect.
1.-TWO million people of moderate
means now pay income taxes ranging
from a few cents to $50, while the
average cost to the Government in
collecting such taxes" he stated, is
about Sc for each taxpayer. IL these
people were excused from paying
taxes and rendering returns. the large
expensive force at work on income
tax returns in the Treasury could be
greatly reduced and many millions
saved"
There is a propaganda on all over
the country, he asserted, TO greatly
reduce the tax on wealth and thus
prevent further relief to those who
must toll to, eke out a living for their
families" he said. The effect of the
propaganda, he declared. would be
to saddle the huge war debt upon the
soldiers who did the fighting for our
country, since they constitute a large
percentage of our taxpayers with
small incomes"
Tells How to Get Action.
Declaring that he favored reducing
surtaxes along with normal and
nuisance taxes, Senator Harris as
serted eff Mr.. Mellon and the ad-
ministration will show as much in
terest in and consideration for the
man with small income as for those
with large incomes, there will be little
trouble in Congress getting together
and enacting legislation that will be
just to all taxpayers.
A proper reorganization or the
executive departments of the Govern
rnent would result, the Senator as

MARYLAND'S CHESTNUT
TREES DYING RAPIDLY
Blight Brought From Europe Kill
ing Off Once Common Species
in State Forests.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, June 20.-Chestnut
hunting will soon be a forgotten sport
in Maryland within the next five
years, according to Karn E. Pfeiffer
assistant State forester. For within
that time, unless nature comes to the
aid of scientists, chestnut trees of the
State all will be killed off, so far as
bearing nuts is concerned. by the
blight.
At present there remain practically
but few nut bearing trees in the west
ern section r' the State. Not SO long
ago chestnL trees were to be found
on every country lane and road in
every patch of woods. The blight,
according to Forester Pfeiffer, is an
imported disease. 1t came from
Europe, and was unheard of here
until 20 years ago. Its presence was
first discovered after a number of
trees brought from Europe were
planted in Prospect Park, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
Within a short time chestnut trees
in the neighborhood began to die off.
Gradually the blight spread, and in
this direction it has already reached
the Carolinas and is still moving.
The blight is a fungus growth
which encircles the tree and strangles
it.
