Juggernaut.

y thorough investigation should be
instituted at once by the Public Utili-
ties Commission to determine the
cause of the street car accident yes
terday in Georgetown. Although there
were no fatalities, the lives Of more
than so persons were put in jeopardy
and the property damage will run into
large figures.
Only a miracle prevented a fright
full catastrophe when the car, out of
control. dashed wildly down the hill
on Wisconsin avenue, failed to take
track, ripped the front of three build
ings and practically demolished an
automobile before coming to rest on
the sidewalk against a steel pole.
If faulty brake equipment was re-
sponsible for this near-tragedy. the
commission should Immediately take
drastic action to compel a more COM
prehensive inspection of cars before
they are sent out to carry hundreds Of
passengers who are dependent solely
oll lllc care dnu skill WITH WHICH tHiS
inspection Is performed.
If speed down the long hill. com.
bined with slippery tracks, is found to
have been the cause, it is up to the
street car company to deal appropri.
ately with the motorman. Judgment
and skill in the operation Of a street
car are as necessary as good equip,
ment, and no company should allow
any one who does not possess these
qualities to run its vehicles.
Regardless of whether this element
entered into yesterdays accident. 1t
might be a good plan for all railway
companies to order the speed of street
cars held down to a lower limit A
vehicle Of this size, when out of con.
troll, is a menace not only to the pas.
sengers, but to all users Of the street.
At any event, the public expects n
prompt and thorough probe Of the
whole incident, and it will not be sat-
isf1ed until adequate explanation is
made and appropriate action is taken.

This buried treasure intrigues the
interest also Of several other journals
Says the Goshen Daily News-Times:
THE wealth and art of the richest of
civilizations poured into a grave! 1t
must have taken great deal of auto
cratic power, superstition and love on
the part Of the bereaved family to
sequester such wealth forever, as they
supposed, from the eyes Of the living.
The young Pharaoh. they believed, -
explains the News Times, could use

According to the New York Evening
Post. never was so inconsiderable a
sovereign SO conspicuously sepultured
a mere nonentity has become famous
by what was buried with him and
upon him." in which opinion the
Racine Times-Call agrees, stating:
That 16-year-old lad, Tut-ankh-Amen
h. fnr @n1 t
day OF glory, was laid away more
magnificently than any modern poet
or romancer has ever imagined"
The young king was "laid away un
der the most ornate surroundings and
was covered with gems and gold" re.
marks the Pocatello Tribune.

Though not discounting the value
of these treasures. the searchers
would be more elated if they had dis
covered some authentic documents in
the tomb, according to some COM
ments. AS the Richmond News
Leader puts it.: "They would gladly
surrender the whole contents Of the
burial place for a single papyrus of
cotemporary history. or even for a
transcript Of Tut-ankh-Amens letters
or decrees," since, as this paper states
apart from the kings cartouche, re.
peated a thousand times over, the
only written memorials found in the
most richly stored of all ancient
tombs are a few score hasty inscrip.
tions on the walls and some laconio
hteroglyphs on certain of the en-.
graved treasures" Still the New York
Times feels that a great work has
been done in bringing to view this
glorious relic Of a buried civilization, u
while the Lexington Leader believes
that the complete story of the
achievements of Howard Carter and
those associated with him, when it is
fully known, will constitute one of
the greatest romances of antiquarian
research"

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

@. How many strikes and lock-
outs have occurred within the last
year. how were they settled and how
many people were affected?-C. N.
A. The United States Bureau Of
Labor Statistics says there were 274
labor disputes resulting in strikes
or lockouts in this country during
the first quarter Of 1925. During the
year 1924 there were 80. These are
the latest figures. In the strikes oc-
curing in the first quarter of 1925
there were about 10000 people in
volved. In over 40 per cent of the
disputes wages was prominent
question. OF course, the hours,
recognition of the union and general
| employment conditions were other
prominent causes. The number Of
days lost in the Industrial disputes
ending in the first quarter for the
IT'S reporting duration was approx
mately ABB
Q. Does the Weather Bureau think
the windjammers used in California
are entirely SUCCESSFULLY. A. M.
A. A windjammer' is the local
name in California fruit growing dis
tricts for a machine devised to raise
the temperature Of an orchard by the
process of mixing the air during criti-
cal periods when the fruit is threat
ened by frost. The Weather Bureau
has had occasion to make practical
tests with a number of these devices,
but up to the present time has found
no "windjammer" which can be rec
commended for complete protection
from low temperatures. The use of
many small orchard heaters Is today
the only practical means Of raising
the temperature Of the air near the
ground sufficiently to protect the fruit
on the trees.
Q. How much space does one pound
Of air occupy?-M J. B.
A. At atmospheric pressure one
pound of air occupies about 13 cubic
feet.
@. How fast do hawks hy?-J. K.

speed of 200 feet a second.
@. When was the tribe Of Biloxi first
known?-J A.
A. Biloxi was a small Siouan tribe

and Moctobi, the three together num-
bering only about 20 cabins.
@. What per cent Of farm mort
cages are held by life insurance COM
panies?-F. D. NJ.
A. Life insurance companies have
been one of the largest factors in
financing agriculture for many dec
AIDES. They are estimated to hold at
present about 90 per cent Of all farm
mortgages. In September, 1923. the
total amounted to no less than S1,781,-
900, 900.

Artistic Make.U

The women of Berlin may be ini-
tiated in the real art of makeup
at fifty cents the lesson, according to
press dispatches from the German
capital. The Germans are nothing If
not thorough. Here in America the
women makeup without stopping to
learn how. There are exceptions, of
course. But, take them by and large,
the paint and powder daubers are far
in the majority.
It Is the fashion today for women
to makeup" just as it Is to wear
boyish bobs, onepiece bathing suits
and pants" An unpainted face
among girls and women from the
tender age Of fourteen or fifteen up
ward Is almost an anachronism. If
they are all intent upon painting the

Political Chaos in France.

Is France invoking a Napoleon?
Is the republic inviting a dictator?
Such questions are suggested by the
difficulties which are now being en-
countered in Paris in the formation
Of ministry to carry on the govern.
ment in the face of an apparently
hopelessly divided Chamber Of Depu-
ties, from the membership Of which
no dependable support for ministry
can be secured.
The defeat Of the Painleve ministry
has been followed by three tenders
of the premiership by President
Doumergue, to BRAND, to Doumer, to
Herriot. Neither of the two first
named could make the necessary
combination. Herriot. former pre-
mier and one-time leader of the So.
cialists, may perhaps strike the bal.
ance, to serve for a short time. But
in any case a ministry formed in the
present conditions cannot hope for
long continuance. 1t will be but q
makeshift.
Many months must elapse before a
new election can be held. The presi
dent Of the republic cannot prorogue
Parliament without the consent Of the
Senate. The financial situation Is ex.
tremely difficult. A national crisis Is
at hand. Hence the thought that has
already been given expression in Paris
that conditions may favor the advent
of single powerful parsonage, capa

Those who think Of America as
wholly materialistic or coldly scien-
tific may be pleasantly surprised to
note that some newspapers pass by
the golden glories Of the funeral trap
pings of King Tut-ankh-Amen, re-
Gently uncovered near Luxor. Egypt,
in their comments and, with real
sentiment, deplore what they term the
desecration of the mummy of this
long dead Pharaoh. Some are un.
equivocal in their objections, while
others. though regretful, still believe
that the results to science and his
tory justify apparent desecration.
"Such infinite pains to maintain an
eternity of respect for the skin and
bones of the king Of kings-and such
abominable proclamation at last" ex-
claims the Boston Evening Transcript.
1.-The thoroughness of the desecra-
tion," it declares, "is in proportion
to the splendor and long effective
ness of the royal precautions. And the
saddest and strangest part of the
proclamation" concludes the Trans
script, perhaps, is that it is abso-
lutely our duty to treat Tut.ankh.
Amen in this way for the sake Of
science and the store of human knowl-
edge This is the thought also of the
Asheville Times. as it reminds those
to whom "the autopsy Of the Egypt
ologists and archeologists will appear
as a desecration" that they must re-
member, that the Egyptian govern
ment has consented to the work, and
that all Of the results will be care
fully preserved in museums. Science
has much on it's side when 1t declares
justifiable it's apparent disregard for
humanity in the name Of progress
of civilization"

Though it comedies that it is vital
that this scientific investigation Of
the tomb be thorough" the San Ber.
nardino Sun thinks present day
thought would have been soothed had
there been some regard for the fact
that this mummy was once a man, and
entitled in death, even though it has
been long, to reverence"
To the Louisville Courier-Journal
there Is no justification in the "ghoul-
ish work." which Is declared none
too cleverly cloaked by professed pas
sion for art" What has been going
on at Luxor for three years." causes
this commentator Ito wonder whether
or not the soul Of what men call
civilization was laid away in King
Tut's tomb with the embalmed body
of the 16-year-old Pharaoh" The Dan
will Register concurs with this senti-
ment, declaring that mo greater ef-
frontery to the kings of the earth has
ever been given than in the wholesale
robbery of the graves Of Egyptian
kings and queens that has been TAX
ing place in recent years at Luxor"
and this paper asks: What does our
boasted civilization amount to when
1t will permit such license and such
nberties?"
Less serious is the attitude Of the
Providence Journal, which ponders
the contrast between the ancient past
and the present in the words: Where
| once no Egyptian dared touch the
| hem Of his garments, whole corps

In making out his income tax for
the year 1924 the business man, pro-
fesslonal man, and farmer is required
to use Form 1040, regardless Of
whether his net income was or was
not in excess of $4,000. The smaller
form 1040A is used for reporting in
come of $500 or less derived chiefly
from salaries or wages.
Forms have been sent to persons
who last year filed returns of income
Failure to receive a form, however,
does not relieve the taxpayer from his
obligation to file a return and pay the
tax within the time prescribed, on or
before March Is, 1925. Copies of the
forms may be obtained from offices
of collectors of internal revenue and
branch offices. The tax may be paid
in full at the time of filing the return
or in four equal installments, due on
or before March Is, June Is, Septem-
ber Is, and December Is.
The taxpayer must include in his
income tax return for the year 1924
all items of gross income specified by
law. In the case of a storekeeper
gross income usually consists of gross
profits on sales, together with income
from other sources. The return must
show the gross sales, purchases, and
cost of goods sold. The professional
man, lawyer, doctor, dentist, must
include all fees and other compensa-
ton received from professional serv-
ices. The farmer must report as gross
income the proceeds of sales or ex-
change of products raised on the farm
or whether purchased by him and re-
sold. He must report also gross in
come from all other sources, such as
rentals or profits from the sale of
farm lands.
Net income, upon which the tax is
assessed, is gross income less certain
deductions for business, expenses,
losses, bad debts, contributions, etc.
To take full advantage of the deduc-
tions to which entitled taxpayers
should read carefully the instructions
on the form under the heads of en-
come from business or profession"
