cational, literary, scientific, religious

Now the State tax commissioners
are scratching their heads over the
row, and have decided to call a
meeting in which all hands can
argue all they please.
Growing wheat and forest trees
will be two additional topics of dis
cussion at the meeting. Like fruit
trees they have heretofore been
taxed as part of the real estate.
Frank Wallace, State entobologist,
who takes keen interest in all af-
fairs of State, has suggested to his
harassed official brethren they solve
the difficulty by CHASING fruit
trees as literary or religious works.

emption there under the constitu-
tional clause" he said.

APPLE TREES, WHAT
ARE THEY, QUESTION
State Tax Board Puzzled Over Recent Amendment
d Made to Goodrich Tax Law

met the apple growers got busy and
amended the Goodrich tax law to
exempt growing crops, vegetables
or fruit trees which may be found
growing thereon (real estate) at the
time of such assessment" Formerly
trees were counted as part Of the
realty.
Then township assessors went to
work and assessed the apple trees
as personal property, disregarding
plants of the apple growers.
The State attorney general, who
was appealed to, dug out copy
Of the more or less obsolete State
constitution, and verified the asses

real estate is personal property

Now don't be silly" the average
man will reply. Amy one can tell
you it's a tree on which apples grow.
Hence the name apple tree"
The average man, however, Is not
afflicted with officially solving the
problem. Just at present the COM

whether an apple tree, also peach

or personal property. Some mil

Inventors Encouraged
 To Submit Good Ideas

LONDON, March 22.-The simple expedient of offering prizes of $50 has resulted in the discovery that there are 152 amateur inventors in whose inventions have a commercial value. The Institute of Ptentees offered prizes for the best inventions in several classes, and about 300 inventions were submitted from which four major prize winners were selected. The 152 inventions will be submitted to various manufactur- CTS.
 The major prizes were awarded 10 the inventors of a kettle with lid that will not fall off; portable fire; a rotoscope based on the theory of relativity for gauging the speed of machinery and a machine for bend ing rods and tubes.
 Sir William Grey-Wilson, head of the institute, is an inventor of re- nown and his house is full of his handicraft. One of the most ingeni- ous is in the chicken house. A few grains of corn are placed in tin beneath the perches, When the chick ems wake they peck at the corn, a spring is released which opens the door of the house.

In prac- tice the presence of large num- Der of German non-commissioned of ficers tends to make it more strict.

City zoning System
 Records Progress
 Throughout Country

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 21.- There are now 320 cities in the U. S. which have demarked the area within their boundaries into zones, setting territory apart for exclusive use as business, residence, industrial or transportation property, the de- partment of commerce reported to- day in a summary of conditions af- fecting the proposal.
 The most marked progress was made in this form of city planning during 1924, when 62 municipalities adopted the system fitting the zones to the particular requirements of their localities.
 "In adopting zoning ordinances" the departments statement said these cities, towns and villages have sought to protect home owners and other land owners, in the reasonable use of their property Koning seeks so to regulate the use to which build- ings may be put, the area of the 1 lot which they may cover, and their height in different sections of the city, that the land in each district may be used for the purposes to which it is best suited
 An increased interest is being shown by the people of the United States in the enactment of zoning leg islation to control the use, height and area of building in various districts in their communities, and in conse- quence zoning laws have been neact- ed or are being considered by nearly every state in the Union.
 The legislatures of 34 states meet during 1925. Most of them are now in session and zoning legislation is receiving more than passing atten tion due to the widespread interest in the subject shown by the public al large"

FOREIGN LEGION STILL
 DRAWS ADVENTURES
 FROM MANY LAND $

PARIS. Mar. 21.-ApproXimately 40 self-styled Americans are now serving in the famous Foreign Le- zion of the French Army, scattered in Algeria, Morocco, Syria and Ton kin. But how many of that two score are really citizens of the Uni ment is unable to say. All it knows is that within the past three years 40 men describing themselves as Americans, have enlisted.
 The reason for lack of accurate data on these self-eXiled or self styled Americans is that the French army requires absolutely no identity papers of applicants for service in it's renowned expeditionary corps. A German who has never been any far ther west than Frankturton-the- Main may present himself before a recruiting officer and join the legion under the name of Otto schmidt, American born in Hoboken. Simi' larly Pole may join up as Stan fslas Skryzskinski, American born and bred in Cleveland. Provided the applicant meets the physical re quirements, which are fairly stiff the French recruiting authorities make no investigation. No question asked" is the legions rule.
 For the Legion Etrangere was founded "to offer refuge" according
Seward daily gateway., 1925-03-23

to the minister of King Louis Phil lippe who organized it in 1881, ito those foreigners who, by reason of the troubled state of Europe, have come within our borders, and whose presence, unemployed and harassed by necessity, may constitute a pub lie danger" Soon after 1881 mem bership in the legion was thrown open to Frenchmen. From the begin ming of it's history of nearly 100 years, the legion has normally been a good 40 or 50 per cent German in makeup. Yet never, according to the French army chiefs, has that high percentage made the slightest difference in the legion's loyalty to either the white flag of Louis Phil lippe or the tricolor under which Frances armies have marched dur ing the reign of Napoleon III and the present republican regime The glowing citations which the polyglot warriors ammassed during the war are ample proof that their famous song,
 Having no fatherland,
 France is our mother"
 is no mere poetical imagery.
 The legion's strength is now close to 10000 men. In times of peace its effectives are normally not employed in France proper, but in the colon, ies. The regulations provide that the legionnaire, who enlists for a five year first term of service, shall be rotated from Africa to the Far East and back again.
