raphy of the famous peak was Wis
IDLY altered. Munt Shasta, 1880
feet high, one of the four highest
peaks on the continent Of North
America, is composed largely of a
crumbly combination Of volcanic
ash, pumice and sand.
AS late as last September the
gigantic avalanches continued. On
September 10 the town of McCloud,
with a population Of $500, which
had suffered severely all through
the summer, was again menaced. A
great canyon wall above the town
collapsed, damming the glacial river
which had been flowing down the
mountain carrying off the melting
water harInlessly.
It was feared that the water would
be held back until stable lake
had been formed and that the dam,
giving way, would result in a flood
filling the whole valley.
The canyon collapsed for, a dis
lance of nearly eight miles, with a
tremendous roar which was heard
nearly six miles away. A cloud OF
dust arose which was visible twenty
five miles from the base Of the
mountain. Fortunately cold weather
set in before the anticipated flood
and it became possible to drain the
temporary lake without damage.

SAM PICKS UP A QUARTER OF A BILLION FROM ODD JOBS
u. S. Annex
Isle of Pines To
Florida
BY International News Service.

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 22.-An-
nexation of the Isle of Pines to
Florida as a county, instead of
ceding the island to Cuba as is
now proposed in the treaty be-
fore the United States Senate,
was advocated here today by
II. P. Mccarthy, president of the
American Chamber of Commerce
on the island.
eve Americans" he said,
went to the island, invested our
money there, developed it, and
have always believed ourselves
secure. Americans own the
banks, the newspaper and other
interests. Now we are facing
repatriation. It's unfair.
FLORIDA is our nearest Amer
lean contact point, and we would
like to become a county of the

WORK ON
Horses Rented and Aliens
Taxed-War Dept. Leads
as Money Getter
By WILLIAM HARD,

The figures forwarded to Con-
gress by the Bureau of the Bud
get show that now your Uncle
Sam goes about with a tin cup
picking up a few pennies here and
a few pennies there, quite outside
the income tax law and quite out
side the tariff law and quite out
side all the internal revenue law,
until from these miscellaneous
sources" he now gets an annual
income of a quarter of a billion
of dollars pieced together from
scores of different sources"
which leave the general taxpayer
quite untouched.
Consider, for instance, the State
Department. The consuls repre-
senting the State Department in
foreign parts perform a lot of
service for travelling Americans
and for other people. They charge
them for at least some of these
services and take in more than
$1,000, 900 doing it.
One Of the Items.
Further, the State Department
now not only makes people take out
passports when travelling interna-
tionally, but it makes them pay for
being thus oppressed. Result: A Fed
eral income during the next fiscal
year of some $1,200,000 from pass
port fees.
In fact, the State Department con-
tributes to the Federal Government
quite large proportion Of the total
cost of maintaining the State De-
partment.
In the next fiscal year the State
Department is estimated by the Bu-
reau of the Budget as being likely
to cost us some $16,000,0 900.
In that fiscal year, however, the
State Department will bring US in,
from fees and other sources" some
So, 600, 600.
Our State Department is approx
mately half self-supporting.
Our Department of Labor is even
more efficient from this standpoint.
1t is estimated to cost US in the next
fiscal year some $3.50 900. How
ever, through its vigilant agents,
who charge a fee for the naturaliz-
ing of aliens, and who charge a fee
for issuing permits to immigrants,
and who collect a head tax off each
immigrant, the Department Of Labor
collects some $4,000, 900 for the Fed
eral Treasury.
The Department of Labor is more
than so per cent self-supporting.
Patent Office Pays Way
Our Patent Office in the Interior
Department is considerably more
than self-supporting 1t makes in
Ventors pay fees for patents. It is
expected in the next fiscal year to
show a profit of approximately
500 900.

The purpose OF selecting these
special committees, said the chair
man, sthat thorough investiga-
ton including the need and the
money necessary to carry on each
need as outlined in the bond issue
as proposed.

rights on their works and also
makes card indexes and sells them.
It's income from these sources in
the next fiscal year will be ap-
proximately $4,000.
The Public Health Service in the
Treasury Department will go and
fumigate and disinfect lot OF
ships and will asphyxiate a lot OF
rats in those ships and will charge
each ship for doing it and will thus
earn some $575.000.
The Coast Guard in the Treasury
Department will send some adven-
turous little ships out into the
Northern Atlantic to watch the ice
bergs and the icefloes and to warn
other ships about them. and for
this service certain foreign govern
ments will pay to our Coast Guard
the sum of approximately $4,000.
Other Pocket Money
The War Department will take
stations belonging to 1t and rent
them out for breeding purposes and
thus get a. little pocket money
amounting to $4,000.
The War Department will also
collect $40, 000. 900 off ships using
the Panama Canal.
1t also will operate laundrieS and
dry-cleaning establishments for sold
iers and officers and from this
source it will gain $1,250,000 which
will appear in the general revenues
of the Government and which will
seem to be paid by the general tax
payer, but which in fact will be paid
by the soldiers and officers for the
wet cleaning and dry cleaning or
their clothes.
The Department of Justice, not
to be behind in this race toward
doing things which brings in a lit
tie apparent revenue without really
adding anything to the pains and
penalties of being a general tax
payer, will collect some 100000
from sales of goods made in a tex
tile mill which it operates in. order
to provide employment for prisoners
in the Atlanta penitentiary.
VOIstead Law Fines.
It also will collect some s7,500,0O0
from ladies and gentlemen indulging
in the national pastime of violating
the Volstead law.
It Significantly will collect only
that same amount of money from
ladies and gentlemen violating all
other laws.
These anticipations Of future col
lections for violations of laws are
based soundly on past experiences.
From one standpoint the Volstead
law is the most expensive law we
have ever had and from \another
standpoint the most profitable.
It's violators provide us with as
much money as the violators Of all
our other laws combined.
It is to be remarked, however,
that even then we spend every
year on it at least $23,000,0 900 more
than we get out Of it.
In any case, and emitting any
further instances of Governmental
miscellaneous revenue from per-
forming special service and from
enforcing special laws upon special

By JESSIE MCBRIDE.

Mrs. Lawrence Townsend's third
Musical Morning at Rauscher's yes
terday afternoon presented a Met
ropolitan Opera artist, Marie Sun
delius, soprano, and one Of the
young violinists, Socrate Barozzi,
in joint recital.
Nine. Sundelius gave her most
vital impressions in the lighter
type of songs, possessing a real
spirit for comedy such as the role
of Rosina in Rossini's Barber OF
Seville This, she put into a Sod
erman Dance Song" and one felt
the actress also in her blithe sing
ing of the Debussy "Fantoches, "
given in that composers street
fete" manner.
The quality of the voice is white:
Her Grieg in the "Solveigs Song
was distinctly disappointing. She
sings with the purity of Handel
in such things as the Old English
so Sweet Is She" but her arias
dragged and unfortunately she was
very badly supported at the piano
by Bernard Wagenaar.
Barozzi was tfmid. He plays
with spirit and his double notes
were good, but he possesses little
finesse and his tone is hard. We
have in Washington far better

DR.. NICHOLSON DENIES
INTENTION TO RETIRE
University of Chicago Scientist,
Noted for Work, Will Keep
Post, He Declares.
Nv the Associated Press


CHICAGO, June 2.-The Chicago
Herald and Examiner yesterday said
that Prof. Albert A. Nicholson, whose
researches in physics have made him
internationally famous, denied that he
is to retire soon in referring to re-
ports published by the newspapers
that upward of a score of nationally
known educators would retire from
the faculty of the University of Chi
cago at the end of the academic year.
The reports ascribed the reason for
the expected retirement to the fact
that the professors had reached or
passed their 65th year.
The newspaper added that Prof. j.
NJ. Coulter, included in its list of
those mentioned in reports of antici-
pated retirements, had accepted a call
to head the Boyce Thompson Insti-
tute for plant research in Yonkers,
n. Y.
No official statement has been is
sued by the university, relative to the
reported retirementS.
Prof. Nicholson, who is -, recently
announced that experiments he had
been conducting tended to confirm the
Einstein theory of relativity.
