DiscOntinuance of Federal Sales
Tax Would Greatly Reduce Re-
sale Value of Autos Now
Owned Here.

Every automobile and truck in
the state will be reduced in sale
or trade value and made harder
to dispose of, if the federal sales
tax on new motor vehicles is re-
pealed by the next congress, ac-
cording to a highway bulletin
this week.
Motor vehicle manufacturers
and dealers, now fighting for re-
peal of the tax, maintain that it
will swell sales of new cars by
bringing about deliveries at cor
respondingly lower prices. Henry
Ford was quoted at recent pre-
liminary hearing in Washington
as saying that the repeal would
mean sales of an additional 1,O0O,-
600 cars from his plants next
year.
Despite another prediction that
larger numbers of auto registra-
tlons in every state would in
crease auto and gas tax receipts
for more highway improvements,
the highway bulletin points to
the effect of new car tax elimina-
ton on present car owners.
Used car values are based
mainly on the prices of new cars
of like types" it is explained.
Given a reduction of the pre-
sent tax off the new machine, a
buyer would be forced to take an
equal or greater discount on a
used car traded in. Cash buyers
of new cars, of course, would pay
five per cent of the factory list
price less than they pay now.
The concession, however, would
result here in Minnesota in
an immediate loss of five.
per cent or more on upwards of.
$4,000 motor vehicles now own
ed in the state. This would ag-
gregate nearly $15,0OO,0O0 of di-
rect property value loss to pre-
sent car and truck owners in the
state.
From a progressive, economic.
viewpoint" the bulletin sug--
gests, "a better proposal would
call for continuation of the sales
tax with a provision that every
dollar of receipts must be appor-
toned in federal highway aid to
the states.
Then car owners, paying all
the main highway bills, would
get the tax money back the SOON,
er and with bigger return in bet.
ter roads savings on the cost of
running cars; highway congestion
now retarding motor vehicle sales
would be greatly reduced and in
terests of manufacturers and
dealers would be served as we'll
or better, and finally the govern
ment would retain a quite salts
factory method of raising part of
its revenues.
The more constructive poll
cy," it adds, carries the princi-
pie that the man buying his first
car and paying a government tax
on it, indirectly contributes to
the fund invested in roads on
which to operate the machine
that have been financed by other
motor vehicle owners"
Minnesota car owners interest
ed in projecting value of their
cars. are addressing protests
against the tax repeal proposal to
their representatives and to Rep
resentative Greene, chairman of
the House committee, at Wash

said to be thoroughly familiar
with its possibilities since he has
been a business man in Canada
for more than twenty years.
Makes Great Hit.
Reports from New York, De-
troit, Mich, and Chicago indicate
that Johannes Fpnss, the Danish
basso singer, now in this country,
has made great hits wherever he
appeared. Audiences have not al
ways been as large as they were
expected to be, but the enthusi-
asm of those who attended the
recitals is said to have been UNI
precedented. An attempt to Sc
cure Mr.. Fenss for a concert in
Minneapolis has met with failure,
due, it is said, to the fact that it
was impossible to give certain
financial guaranty.
New Professor.
DR.. Hiding Berglund, at pre-
sent assistant professor of medi-
cine at the Harvard university
medical school, has been appoint
ed professor of medicine at the
University of Minnesota. DR..
Berglund is native of Karl
skrona, Sweden, a graduate of the
Karolinska Institute in Stock
holm, and came to the United
States in 1920 to study chemistry
under DIR. Folin at Harvard. Two
years ago he was appointed as
sistant professor there.
On Study Trip.
Olga Eggers, a well known
Danish fiction writer, is at pre-
sent touring the United States
and Canada for the purpose of
studying conditions especially
among Danish farmers. She in
tends to make use of her Ameri-
can observations and impressions
in forthcoming work. Incident
ally, it may be mentioned that
several American newspapermen,
in interviewing the distinguish
ed guest, has given her the title
of Countess.
The Sequel.
Professor O. E. Relvaag at St.
Olaf College, Mortified, Mimi,

American novel, Il de dage"
("During Those Days'), and its
sequel has just now been issued
by publishing house in Norway
under the title of "Riket grund-
lagges" ,("The Empire is Being
Founded"). The two books form
together an interesting picture
of Norwegian pioneer life in the
prairie wilderness of the seven
ties and eighties.
Welcomed Home.
Ragnvald A. Nestos, ex-gover-
nor of North Dakota, who has
just returned from trip to Nor
way, his native country, and 9th
er European countries, was given
a rousing welcome upon his arriv-
al in his home city, Minot, N. D.,
Monday of last week. Hundreds
of citizens from various parts of
the state had gathered for the
Welcome Home" affair which
was of an unpolitical character.
1t is understood, however, that
the undercurrent favoring Mr..
Nesto's candidacy for the United
States senate, received strong
impetus at this gathering.

take part more or less In the general
movement.
The trade unions also have taken
up keenly the idea Of physical culture
They grasped at once that physical
culture is, for the workers. the funda-
mental prerequisite for their personal
well-being and for the Improvement OF
the national economy. The trade
unions also had a decisive influence
on the nature of the physical exer-
cises. For the workers, physical cub
ture Is not means to hypertropny in

fore injurious)-it is no bourgeois
sport which produces champions with
strong fists and weak brains. Physic-
al culture in a workers state is q
powerful means for the harmonious
development OF the mental and phys
ical forces OF man. The physical ex-
crcises are also intended to counter.
balance the injurious sides Of certain
occupations. Thus. for occupations
which involve for instance the breath
ing in Of dust. noxious yapours, ETC.,
exercises are organized which differ
from those for occupations associated
with abnormal positions of the body
carpenters, turner's. shoemakers,
etc. The idea of physical culture has
become popular among the troops.

Physical Culture In U.S.S.R.

three million persons died every year.
The chief causes Of death were the
so-called everyday illnesses, tho va
rious forms of typhoid fever, cholera,
smallpox, infantile diarrhoea. and
syphilis, which was not due to sexual
intercourse. About twenty-five per cent
OF all diseases were such everyday"
illnesses. In population so back
ward in culture the most elementary
hygienic habits were lacking.
Handicapped by such an inheritance,
the Soviet government had to train
the population in physical culture.
The sense OF the necessity for phys
zeal culture seized hold of the widest
circles of the active workers. 1t is
only a year since the Central Council
for Physical Culture at the Presidium
OF the All-Russian Central Executive
was founded, and already, on q mod
crate estimate, millions OF workers are
practising various forms OF physical
exercise. The youths were the first
to respond to this call. The G. Y. p.
A. r. Communist Youth League OF
Russia) was pioneer OF the idea OF
physical culture. At every congress
of the G. Y. p. A. r. members were
urged to take a really active part In
this movement, and there rs at pres
ent no group OF the G. Y. P. A. r.

Physical exercises are a part OF the
system Of military training. In this
way the ideas Of physical culture not
only permeate the Red Army, but are
also carried by the territorial divisions
to the towns and villages of our ex-
tensiye Union.
The Soviet physical culture has no
easy fight against the remains of the
Old bourgeois sport (even now this
struggle has not come to an ead). We
are OF course not opposed TO sport.
On the contrary, we regard sport as
one Of the most important factors in
the development of the body. We are,
however, opposed to sport which does
not promote health, but erippies the
individual; We disapprove of sport
which does not promote human feel
ngs in man but turns him into brute.
In order. however, to direct the
physical training in this way towards
"eugenic" goal, the goal OF the har-
raonious development OF all the forces
CT the individual, IL was necessary to
form star OF well trained instruc-
tors. The State Institute for Physical
Culture Of the Peoples Commissioned
for Health has undertaken this task
and. during the six years Of its exist
ence, has specially educated several
hundred doctors and pedagogues for
this function and, in short training
courses, has prepared special instruc.
tors for various factories and assigned
them for this purpose to the factories

Frightening
Home With
Flowers
THE placing Of an Arrangement Of

THE placing Of an arrangement Of
i flowers often determines its form !;
therefore the position it is to occupy
should be considered from the first.
The observers point of view should in
fluence the arrangement. Some plants
look their best in jar placed on the
floor. Pond lilies never look so well
as when floating in shallow dish on
taboret or a stand that is lower than
an ordinary table.
Some plants or bouquets are most
attractive when placed on a window
sill and silhouetted against the light.
White lilies or golden glow light up a
lark corner effectively. Dropping
branches or vines arrange themselves
naturally when placed on mantel-
piece or in baskets or other receptacles
hung against the wall.
WALL DESIGNING.
In the walls of the room were
thought of as the background for flow
ers and pictures, many designs and
colorings in wall papers would never
be chosen. The plain or soft-toned
papers in neutral colorings make the
best backgrounds. Various flowers
suit various moods, different occa-
sions different rooms. The flowers
that supply the most charming and
intimate features of the home break
fast table would probably be out of
place at a banquet.
No phase of flower arrangement is
more constantly recurring than that
of table decoration. There may be
either a central arrangement or some
thing at each plate, or, for a very spe-
cial occasion, a combination Of both.
Little flat water cups, which cost only
40 cents a dozen are very appropriate
for certain flowers. For small table
one low, central composition is usual
ly most desirable.
For O long table there may be a
central arrangement and others that
ase subordinate. The shape of the
centerpiece should repeat the shape Of
the table; it should be round for a
round table, or long and narrow if
the table is that shape. The color Of
the flowers should harmonic with the
color of the china and of the room.
SIMPLE FITNESS.
Simplicity and fitness are guide
words to use in the selection Of a re-
ceptacle for any decorative arrange
ment of flowers, and everv home max
err should have large variety. This
docs not necessarily entail large ex-
pense. Many excellent containers may
be obtained for less than 81 and some
can be obtained without money and
without price, being the containers for
olives, mustard, oil, ginger, or other
commodities.
These are much better than the
vases. ugly in line, unwieldly in shape,
aggressive in color, overloaded with
decoration. that are manufactured TO
sell 10 the innocent and the unwary.
The color or the decoration on the re-
ceptacle should be in accord with that
which it contains, echoing its color,
line, or shape, but never vying with
these.

New Method
of Canning

THE Bureau Of Home Economics
4 of the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture is frequently
asked why the water-bath method of
processing may be used in the homo
canning of fruits and tomatoes, where
as nonacid vegetables must be proc
essed under pressure.
The explanation given Is that for
successful canning the temperature APP
piled should ordinarily be the lowest
possible that will insure a safe prod
uct. While no growing, or so-called
vegetatiye, bacteria will survive for
any length Of time at the Temperatures
Of boiling water (212 degrees FDs
some bacteria are able to 90 into
spore form. These spores are killed
only by very long-continued heating at
boiling temperature, especially II the
fruit or vegetable being canned has
juice that is alkaline or only very
slightly acid. When the juices are
acid. as in fruits and tomatoes, all
forms of bacteria are killed mora
quickly at 212 degrees F., which IS
the highest temperature possible in the
water bath. A water-bath Gamer Is
commonly understood to be any COW
cred vessel of sufficient depth for the
lars OF cans to be completely i'm
mersed while processing, and equipped
with a rack or false bottom which
permits water to circulate around the
Jars or cans. A wash boiler frequently
answers the purpose in the household.
Corn. peas, be- Bs and ether yege.,
tables that do ne. have ACID juice need
to be processed under steam pressure
at temperatures higher than 212 de-
grees F., and for this reason the

Sheltered
Children

A SHELTERED childhood, though
IN it may do no harm, is not a good
introduction to life, The more happy
and prosperous their home, the more
children should be made aware that
there is another side to the picture
that life is not necessarily beautiful
and comfortable-that,i in fact, there is
q choice for them to make and that
they will have to make it.
A child Of ten years has very
nearly fully developed intelligence. 1t
can, that is TO say, understand most
things that are shown and explained
TO It. On the other hand, its vitality
is such that it can throw off a temper
airy hurt to its emotions. 1t seems
TO me, therefore, better that n child
suffer n passing sadness than live to
inflict sorrow.

but actually. / would make them I'M

that there are millions who suffer and

THIS is for those who believe that

Nearly fifty years ago the news
papers carried accounts of a child
prodigy. His name was Josef Hof-

genius, though he was unframed.
Theatrical managers and exploiters
pushed him hard. As result he
was almost wrecked physically and
artistically.
Then the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children obtained
an injunction forbidding the employ
ment of the boy in theatcrs. So for
few years his name dropped out
of the public prints and there was
no more talk Of Josef Hoffman,. APP
