Tax Exempt Bonds
AND
What They Mean
Talk No. 10

State Auditor, Ray Chase, stated recently that
the annual interest bill of the State OF Minnesota Is
$15,OOO0O0 An increase of $17O in the rate OF It's
bonds would increase the annual bill by at least ~
per cent or 100000 all of which would have to
come out of the pockets of the tax payers OF this
State.
The foregoing statements prove that every
tax payer should be vitality interested in Tax Elk
empt Bonds not because they enable some investors
to reduce their income tax, but because they enable
the people of this country to have the fine schools
the paved streets, the good roads and the other
public improvements that we need at smaller cost.
If tax exemption was abolished either we would
have to go without many of these fine things
we would have to pay considerably higher taxes.

ARRIVAL OF POLICE
AVERTS LyNCH|NG
Negroes Ready to Hang One
of Own Race on Com
plant of Girl, 9.

Bent on lynching member of their
race, accused of attacking a 9year-
old girl, a frenzied mob of colored
residents Of Hillsdale, just north Of
st. Elizabeth's Hospital. was dis
persed by police last night just as it
was about to place a rope about the
neck of the alleged assailant.
1t was the first lynching party in
the District since the demonstration
resulting from the murder Of Police
Sergt. Fritz Passau, more than a
quarter of a century ago.
The captive, Charles Craig, AZ years
old, a roomer at 2610 Sheridan road
southeast, was surrounded by the ex-
cited crowd of men and women after
he was alleged to have assaulted Ber-
tha r. Lancaster, colored,- of 2649h
Sheridan road, in the former house.
The milling crowd already had
badly mauled the prisoner, and the
on1inous rope was being brought into
play when Detective Berry and Po-
liceman Repperger of the eleventh
precinct arrived on the scene and
Prisoner Cut and Bruised.
Craig, badly frightened and suffer
ing from cuts and bruises, was taken
TO the police station and given treat
ment before being locked up. The
prisoner is said to have been under
the influence of liquor. 80
1t was learned by the police that the
Lancaster child had been playing with
other children and had gone into the
house where Craig roomed. Her
screams attracted the attention Of
neighbors and soon a crowd had gath.
cred about the vicinity. The mother
Of the child took charge of Bertha and
accompanied her to Freedmen's Hos
pital, where she was given a thorough
examination and treatment
Identity of those in the mob was not
established. 1t is not probable that
any prosecutions will result
The prisoner was detained to give
the police time for further investiga-
ton. 1t is probable that he will be
arraigned in Police Court tomorrow,
when attending physicians will appear
and tell of the extent of the injuries
TO the child.

Lords Prayer Is
Read Inside Eye
Of Sewing Needle
MicrO-Engrduing Exhibit
NOiU at Smithsonian
Institution.

Some months ago the United States
National Museum received q note Of
40 words engraved. on glass SO small
that 1t was necessary to enlarge it
88 times before it could be read easily.
This micro-engraved letter, which, by
the way. was the smallest letter ever
received by the museum, was engrav-
ed by Alfred McEwen and was a pre-
lfminary to a permanent exhibit which
has just been plated on view in the
division of graphic arts, Smithsonian
Building
The present exhibit consists of the
Lords Prayer, engraved by Mr. Nc
Even, shown inside of the eye of a
sewing needle, magnif1ed 145 dame
ters. About 1880 complete prayers of
IS words each could be engraved in
one square inch, but this is very large
compared with one Of these micro-en-
cravings measured by the Bureau of
Standards, which was so small that it
took 1S1,050 to cover one square inch.
This is equivalent to 1884, 900 words
The mfcro-engraving on exhibition
In the smithsonian, made February
l0, 1879, Is very clear and distinct 1t
was engraved on glass, with a diamond
point, by means of a pantograph. The
machine itself is as wonderful as the
work 1t does. The first machine to do
"oth VI liilS dIdCl6T was invented
and used by the London banker, w.
Peters, in 1852. Fifty and sixty years
ago micro-engravings were quite COM
mon, but at present are very rare.
In times of war microscopic mes
sages could be sent engraved on the
edge of a shoe nail, on a ring, a brass
button. an eyeglass. or any object that
Is smooth and hard, and these mes
sages would be practically impossible
to locate except by the one who knew
where to look.
That 1t is possible for any machine
to be build so accurately, with appar-
emily no lost motion, that it is able to
produce work which can be seen only
under a highpowe microscope, and
some of it so fine that it is then read
only with the greatest difficulty, is al
most inconceivable, but the Smithso-
nian exhibit proves that it can be
done

Silk Shirts Used
By u. S. agents to
Trap Dope Sellers

Silk shirts and automobile inner
tubes have come into a new use,
Federal agents recently discovered
in round-ups of unlicensed narcotic
peddlers.
Hundreds of ingenious hiding
places have been resorted to by
the sellers. but the latest device dis
covered was n portion Of an inner
tube filled with thousands Of grains
of morphine. The tube was closed
at the ends and completely covered
with beeswax.
The silk shirt Of bright color has
become a weapon Of the narcotic
agent in trading with peddlers who
are willing to accept this type Of
merchandise instead Of money.
The Illicit trafficker does not keep
the shirt long, for it is easy evil
dence for arrest, and the shirt is
recaptured for use again in the

KEEP PARKS CLEAN,
SHERRILL REQUESTS
Cautions Public Against Throwing
Paper and Other Rubbish
Around Carelessly.

Another strong appeal has been
made by Lieut.. Col. Clarence o. Sher-
rili, director Of public buildings and
parks, to the public to assist in keep
ing the parks clean.
The recent hot spell, when thou
sands sought the parks for a breath
of cool air, showed carelessness on
the part of the users in strewing paper
and other rubbish.
During the past 10 days. Col. Sher-
rill said, there has been found a de-
cided slipping backward in the matter
of cleanliness on the part of the pub
lie, so much so that the routine park
maintenance force has found it almost
impossible to keep the parks clean
The park maintenance forces report
that more than double the usual num-
ber of loads of rubbish are taken out
Of the parks every day. The result
of this lack of assistance on the part
of the public Is that the parks are
filled with unsightly litter up to and
around noon, whereas normally they
are all cleaned before 9 o'clock in the
morning.
