Celtic-speaking peoples occupied
very wide territory Of old, spreading
from central Europe, where the hrst
records Of them exist, far to the west,
southwest and even southeast. They
settled in Gaul perhaps about 1OOO b.
c.. and were probably at the height
of their power about 400 B. Q. Later
thew were under constant pressure
from the Germanic tribes to the north,
and saw most Of their territories con-
ouered by the Romans, from the

BIotting Paper

Housekeepers who have learned the
value of white blotting paper keep a
supply on hand. 1t is 80 useful In
taking up water spilled on polished
table, or when grease is dropped on
table linen during the meal. 1t acts
much quicker than a cloth or napkin
and does the work less obtrusively. 1t
is excellent for absorbing grease
from fritters, croQuettes and other
cookery before serving.

ton Of gravity Of the moon, with some
help from the other heavenly bodies.
The attraction of the moon causes a
bulge In the oceans as the earth TO
tates upon its axis. Tides are not no
ticeable except on large bodies OF

actment Of the measure in time to
make the reductions effective with
the filing of first tax returns on
March Is. COnfcrecs arc warned in
advance by Secretary Mellon that the

permit of the $456,O00.O0 reduction

tions proposed by the house the SEN
ate made these major changes in the
bill: n

by the minority members of the fin
nnce committee with Republicans, by
which the 20 per cent maximum sur
tax rate was agreed to in return for
greater reductions on the surtax rates
applying on the smaller incomes.

ranking Democrat on the finance
committee, and Glass, Virginia.

committe, who had charge of the bill
in the senate, explained provisions
Of the measure to President Coolidge
today. The senator said the house
and senate conferees would meet on
Monday, but predicted it would be a
week or more before the bill was in
the presidents hands for signature.
Senator Smoot believes the senate
went 100000, 900 beyond safe re-
duction maximum, and is confident
the house of conferees can be count
ed on to mold the total cut to $780,
OO0, 900 or less.
