Holy Roman Empire

Replying to an inquiry, the Path

800 Charlemagne, king Of the Franks,
was crowned emperor Of the West at
Rome. In 962 the title went to Otto
and his empire, which consisted of
Germany, Austria and northern Italy,
became known as the Holy Roman en-

then the cream of tartar is added and
they are beaten until stiff. The dry

into the beaten egg whites, and when
the mixture is partly blended the fla
voring is added. Only the folding mo-
ton should be used in mixing, for
stirring tends to release the air de

WASHINGTON, Nov 15.-With
only three weeks before Congress
assemblies, President Coolidge today
began a draft of his annual message
to that body.
From all indications, the Presi-
dents annual report will be compare
lively brief, containing very few new
recommendations or suggestions for
legislation.
The Administrations tax credit
plan, announced ten days ago by the
White House, will be the highlight
of the message. He will recommend
to taxpayers as a credit on taxes
due next March, on incomes of this
year.
Democratic demands for down
ward revision on all income rates
will be answered. The President is
expected to warn against any perrna-
nent reduction in the income rates
because the Treasury is yet unaware
of the amount Of revenue the exist
ing law will yield.
The President also is expected to
touch on Muscle Shoals, the
Merchant Marine, Economy and
Prosperity.
Any reference to foreign affairs
will be based on his Armistice day
