analysis upon the high plane of the
utmost attainable accuracy.
Attention to Details.
DR. Hillebrand's attention to ap-
parently trif1ing details is we'll Illus
trated by his account of the discov
cry of the gas, which years later he
called to the attention of Ramsay,
who showed it to be thelium. Moth

and fellow of the American 'Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Science.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaiian Is
lands, December IL, 1853, he received
his early education there and at Oak
land, Calf. He attended Cornell
University for two years from 1870
to 1872, and later studied for six
years in Germany, receiving a Phi. u.
degree from the University of Heidei-
berg in 1875. Later he studied at .he
University % Strassburg and the
Mining Academy of Freiberg, Saxony.
In 1875, with T. Fl. Norton, he was
the first to prepare metallic cerium,
lanthanum, and what was then calIt d
"didymium." He discovered that
cerium gives off sparks when filed.
Decades later this behavior came to
be of commercial value for gas
lighters.
Source of Potash.
Another discovery of far greater
economic importance was made in
1904, when DR.. Hillebrand called at
tention to the possibility of recover
ing and utilizing the enormous guam
titles of potash that are volatilized
during the clinkering of portland
cement. He is too seldom given credit
for suggesting what is now an ac-
conlplished fact
After leaving Heidelberg, DR.. Hille-
brand studied for a time under Fittig
at Strassburg. For a while he worked
as assayer at Leadville, Colo. Then
followed period Of five years, 1880
to 1885, at Denver with the Geological
Survey, after which he was trans
ferred to Washington in 1908. From
that date until the time of his death
he had been chief chemist of the
Bureau of Standards in this city.

WORLD is NO MANS DEBTOR

The man who believes the world owes him a
living can never collect The world owes no one
living. 1t will yield all that is required for human
sustenance comfort and happiness, but it has it's
price and that price must be paid before the de-
livery of the goods.
A man adhering to the theory that the world is
indebted to the human race and insisting he was
going to collect the living due him in any way pos
sible was sent to jail in California city. as a
vagTant The man pays instead of collecting.
The public may provide him with temporary
shelter and something to eat but he pays for 1t
with his liberty and self-respect
Doubtless there are deluded persons who do not
believe in individual effort as necessary factor
to human existence. But if their theory held
good there would be no progress, no development,
and the march of civilization never would have
started It has been said that it is not all of life
to live, and if that were not true there would be
no incentive to achieve Human energy must be
directed toward accomplishing greater and greater
things as time wears on or our social structure
would fall and civilization would stagnate.
The world parcels out its bounty according to
individual effort but there must be that effort or
the bounty is withheld. It is fallacy to assume
that something may be had for nothing. The
drone pays the highest price and receives the
least.

GOOD NEWS FOR SOME PEOPLE

1t is more than likely that the income taxes paid
by the people Of the nation will be cut next year
This result can be accomplished If the sugges-
tions of President Coolidge to congress and the
heads of the different departments of the federal
government are carried out to the fullest extent
1t would mean that the income tax rates now IN
force would be cut at least 25 per cent for next
year, by bill which will be soon introduced
President Coolidge has had several conferences
with Representative Martin Madden, chairman OF
the appropriations committee in the house, in re-
gard to the matter and Madden is confident that
if congress will back up the president the cut IN
income taxes for next year can be accomplished.
A very interesting side-light is that ap-
preparations $8,000,000 below the budgets esti-
mates, were passed at the last session of the 68th
congress; put in plain language, this means that
even with the figures of the budget taken as a
basis, congress, at the direction of the president
has saved S8,00O,00 more of the taxpayers
money than was hoped for at the beginning of the
session 1t is also of interest to note that during
the past four years congress has spent $35O,O0O,-
900 less than was proposed.

ALL ABOUT THE WORLD

Yes indeed, we are glad to get back. Nope,
there is no other place in the part OF the world
we have seen we like better than America. Sure,
we Americans have right to growl some at
existing conditions in the good cid U. s. A: but
when you dig into some of the troubles those
foreigners have, our troubles pale into insignlf-
cance Yes, Flagstaff looks about as good as any
place we ran across in the eastern y. 5. How
ever. missing so many friendly faces from among
old pioneer friends makes us feelas though it was
years instead of months we had spent on proving
the world was round. No, the world isn't on the
square. You'll notice it too when you make the
trip. About $4,000 miles. Yes, many women
used it, also cigarettes. No. it wasn't in violation
of the eighteenth amendment-it was British
ship, hired by the American Express company.
The amendment didn't go with the lease. No,
didn't bring any home, think it would have been
unfair competition. Yes, nothing much was free
or sold below cost. No, not for good many
years. Yes, to some extent; hats q little larger
also collar and vest displacement. No, the earth
quake in the east the other day did not occur the
day we landed, but some days after. Yes and no..
Living up to the schedule so long gets too stren-
uous at times.

STATES FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS

Among other forms of tax reduction, there is
strong movement for repeal of all federal estate
and inheritance taxes the ground that the
states need all the revenue which they yield.
A tax on capital or estates is only justified by
the necessities of war and in times of peace
should be abolished as rapidly as possible
The states are fighting for their existence and
their political rights on the subject of taxation
as conceived by the founders of our government
This was shown in the refusal to give congress
power to enact labor laws and allow the states to
provide reasonable protection for children and
families in this field.
The movement of the states to assert their
rights against double taxation in any form is a
protest against all federal powers of taxation
In asserting their rights in this matter in peace
times the states are only saying that accumulated
capital shall not be dissipated and scattered by
federal interference.
BY the same token, the states are repeating
Webster's dictum that "the power to tax is the
power to destroy" and unless check is placed
upon congress and the bureaus which it creates,
the state governments will be reduced to unm-
portant administrative units =

pEssIMIsTs VIEW OF LIFE

Did it ever occur to you that a
mans life is full Of crosses and temp
tations? He comes into the world
without his consent and goes out of
it against his will, and the trip ba-
tween is exceedingly rocky. The rule
Of contraries is one of the features Of
the trip.
When he is little the big girls kiss
him; when he is big, the little girls
kiss him. If he is poor, he is bad
manager; if he is rich, he is dishonest.
If he needs credit, he can't get it; if
he is prosperous, everyone wants to
do him a favor.
If he is in politics, it is for graft;
if he is out Of politics, he is no good
to his country. If he doesn't give to
charity, he is stingy; If he does, it is
for show. If he is actively religious,
he is a hypocrite; If he takes no in-
terest in religion, he is a hardened
sinner. If he gives affection, he is a
soft specimen; if he cares for no
one, he is coldblooded. If he dies
young, there was d great future be-
fore him; If he lives TO an old age,
he missed his calling.
If you save money, you're a Crouch;
if you spend it, you're loafer; if yot
get it, you're CRATER; if you can't
get it, you're bum. SO what the
heck's the use?

THE ROUGHER SEX

Divorce statistics just issued by the census bu-
reau reveal that woman is developing into the
rougher sex. Only about one-third of all divorces
are granted to husbands, the remainder going to
the wives. This ratio has stood, almost un-
changed. for about 35 years. But the number OF
divorces granted to Husbands for cruelty was
more than twice as large in 1922 as in 1916, while
the number granted to wives for cruelty increased
in the same PERIOD only So per cent 1t was re-
