Back In the days OF Car Paul l.

Emperor OF all the ,Russias was
reviewing one OF his favorite
regiments in the great open
space in front OF the Winter
Palace in Petersburg. He gave
the order to march. The soldiers
marched. And then some one
called his attention to an I'M

off to sign it.
Now Russian soldiers who were
hidden to do something by their
Car. had to go on doing it until
the Gar told them to stop. No
one else coui countermand the
imperial order. So the regiment
kept on marching. They marched
out OF the Winter Palace square.

until they reached the

barrier they entered Siberia, still

TO BURLESQUE
VETERAN

To have been a pioneer in any
branch of American theatricals is
a distinction. and to have main
tanned position at the very
front of progressive burlesque
during that entire period is an
achievement worth while. That is
the record Of your old friend, Al
Reeves" as he signs himself, who
comes to the Mutual Theater to-
morrow at the head of his
Beauty Show"
Thirty years ago Al Reeves won
the Richard K. Fox diamond
medal as champion banjo player
of the world. and his claim to the
title has never been disputed. His
favorite sport is racing. and he is
a member of all the Eastern rae
ing associations. He has been
bookmaker but declares he likes
to play EN- from the ground"

The stage and the screen +con-
tributed generously of their serv-
ices during the late war in every
capacity in which they were able
to further the cause of the allies.
No one will deny that. 1t seems,
however, that one or two excel
lent bets were overlooked.
It is perhaps only natural that
the lapse OF years should suggest
new ways In which the various
branches Of the theater might
lend aid to the Government in
times of martial stress. One that
seems to offer impressive poten-
tialitfes for valuable service has
been suggested by. a motion pic
ture cameraman on the West
coast whose war experience is
such as to make his testimony
competent.
Hollywood's camera knights may
become an important factor in the
events of another war.
That is the opinion Of Chief
Photographer J.. 3. Cadenbach OF

of the sea campaign Of the last
war.

themselves were enough to make
her blush, l suppose, and there
was nothing to keep her from
being shy and reserved in a cos

To Reduce Taxes on Big Incomes
Wants Party Leaders to Lay Aside Differences
and Unite in Favorable Report

Back in 1914, when the income tax
was first levied, the United States
had 90 citizens with incomes of
million or more.
The next year the number was 12O.
Our business men were beginning TO
sell supplies to the beligerents engag-
ed IN the world war.
Then came 1916-the banner year.
The returns showed 2O6 with incomes
over the million mark.
We went into the conflict in 1917
and profiteering continued. That
year 161 incomes went over the top
for a million or more.
In 1918 the excess profits tax was
getting in its work and the number Of
million-dollar incomes dropped to 81.
In 1919 it was 65.
Then came the deflation of 1920.
War babies had disappeared Only
30 million-dollar returns were made
in 1920 and 21 in 1921.
That was the low water mark.
Secretary Mellon clamored for a re-
duction in the tax on big incomes. in
sisting that the falling off was due to
the tax. Every student of the sub
Ject knew that the real cause was the
lack of opportunity to make money
out of war.
