COOLIDGE GIVES
 TAXATION VIEWS
Thinks Further Reduction Is
 Very PTObIenatiCaI

Washington, June 22 tPl-With the treasury ovcrhowing with money even beyond the fondest hopes of "s'lmators, President Coolidge has turned thumbs down on tax reduc- ton talk until the new revenue is submitted 10 the test Of operation during ;he coming year.
 The president informed his cabi- net officers and bureau chiefs at the semi-annual budget meeting last night that this fiscal year. ending June 80, probably would be closed with a surplus Of $390,000, ,o0n. h. licatOns also pointed to margins of S5,0o0,0o0 next fiscal year and $go,ooo,oo0 at the end of the suc- ceCling 12 months, he said, but he withheld promise Of tax reduction pending thorough study Of the work ing of the new law.
 Tho $39o.o0o,o0o surplus. calcu- lated yesterday on the basis Of lat est returns from second ins'alIment income tax payments, is almost four times the amount forecast six months ago.
 Income tax returns for this quar- tor arc expected to reach $4lo,ooo,- hoo, almost $T0,O0o,0oo more than was collected for the corresponding period last year despite the higher fax rates which prevailed then. March receipts Of $5o5.000.oo0 also were much higher than year ago, in the face Of reduction in taxes just authorized by congress. These in- creased returns and large collections Of back taxes amounting to S25o,- poo,goo, are held by AIr. Coolidge and in" treasury 10 accoun. in large part for the unusual surplus.
 Tho surplus will be applied 'o tho public druf. bringing tho total r"- ductton for this fiscal year 10 about $G&G,on0,0oo. This will leave tho debt at $i2.fSo.n0o,r0o
 ProposlNg 10 cut expenditures next year in order 10 assure a surplus, Mr. Coolidge informed the doparl- mont chiefs that some reduction in personnel mus ho made to offset i'l. increased rXp,HIrures brought about by tha public improvement program. which bn considered in line with d policy of constructive economy

 "Abie's Irish Rose" bloomed in | cyclone Of laughter at Parsons theater last night, it's first appear ance in this vicinity. II is easy to understand why the play has had such a long run in New York and why it has made comfortable for tune for the writer, Anne Nichols. II is built for laughter and meets with inc expectation of the architect.
 The story revolvcs around the diff faculties Of a Jewish youth and an Irish girl, who have been married, in rcConci'ing their respective par cnts. Solomon Levy and Patrick Jo- seph Murphy, who believe that their own race is the predominant people of the earth. Although the tenn pcramental weaknesses of both sides arc exposed, there is nothing ofrcn- size in the plot or dialogue. if the approval of the audience last night. which included large representations of both races, can be depended nron. II is the most amusing show which has played Parsons theator since the curtain went up last fall and is handled by capable cast.
 Ii there is one outstanding char actar portrait it is the acting of Phil White as Solomon Levy. Ed

MY CREED

To live each day as though / may
never see the morrow come; to be
strict with myself. but patient and
lenient with others to give the adj
vantage but never to ask for it; to
be kindly to all, but kindlier to the
less fortunate; to respect all honest
employment; to remember always
that my life is made easier and bet
tel by the service Of others, and to
be grateful.
To be tolerant and never arrogant
to treat all men with equal courtesy;
to be true to my own in all things
to make as much as | can of my
strength and the days opportunity,
and to meet disappointment without
resentment.
To be friendly and helpful where
ever possible; to do, without display
of temper or of bitterness, all that,
fair conduct demand; to keep my
money free from cunning or the
shame of had bargain; to govern
my actions SO that l may fear neither
reproach nor misunderstanding nor
words of malice or envy, and to main
tain, at whatever temporary cost, my
own self-respect.
To keep faith with God, my fellow
men, and my country.
This is my creed and my philosophy
l have failed it often and shall fai!
it many times again; but these teach
ings of my mother and my father
have lived to tha best of my ability;
laughed often. loved, suffered, griev-
ed, found consolation, and have pros
pered. BY friendships l have been en-
riched, and the home l have built

CHILDISH" UNCLE SAM
Yours truly,
w. A. STREET.

Since "Uncle Sam" has submitted
himself to the World Court, he puts
himself back where he was when a
baby prior to 1916. The old saying
is that human being is ''once q
man and twice a child" Has it
come to this, that our country is get
ting to that Childish" period in its
history? When this country was a
"child" it was subject to the moth"
er" country, the British Empire. Are
we to become a "child-like" subject
again to this same sovereignty, sub
NIT to weakness, surrender our rights
and turn over our powers to the rest
of the world, thus make the "Mon-
roe Doctrine" mere scrap of paper
oh, countrymen for we know there
are few of you left, even "seven
thousand in Israel, all the knees
which have not bowed unto Baal,
and every mouth which hath not kiss
ed him." can and will with voice and
vote rescind the order of that "high
and dignified body" which so recent
ly stepped aside from the path of
our forefathers!

the fine things of life. Good books,
beautiful pictures, worthwhile music.
should be associated with the home
rather than only with places outside
of the home
Cheerfulness, kindness, good humor
fill the moral atmosphere with oxy-
pen while i'll humor and fits of temper
take it out.
A home should command the same
respect as an art gallery or church
it is as important and sacred as eth
er.
A child reared in an atmosphere
in which the oxygen is. depleted by
pickering, petty faultfinding and mar
row consideration for the rights of
others is being as truly deprived Of
the necessary elements of full NOR
al health and growth as being shut
up in close room would deprive him
of the necessary physical life.
Jesus once asked; IF son shall
ask bread of any Of you that as a
father will he give him stone?"
Upon a physical plane the answer
is mo" But on moral plane how
many children are given stones when
they ask for for bread?
Too often the stones of misunder-
standing, ideas Of i'll health, ridicule,
insincerity and materialish are given
when the child asks for bread of un
Outstanding, of ideas of health, of
sympathy, sincerity and idealism.
The home is no place for crititism
and bitter ideas of failure. 1t is a
place of idealism and hope and am
bition.
It is no place for doubts and mis-
givings and despares. Those around
you in the home need your strength,
not your weakness.
1t is no place for gossip and innu-
endoes. 1t is a place for an attitude
of kindness toward others and a be-
lief in the external cleanliness of
MANKIND.
The idealism of religion is one of
the great oxygenizers of the home.
The great underlying, fundamental,
purifying elements of religion help
the moral atmosphere of the home.
Regular habits of prayer, of saying
grace at meal time, of reading the
bible, lift the home life to a higher
plane.
AS the atmosphere of the room
must be frequently tested and the
windows opened to freshen the air,
so to keep the right amount of oxy-
gen in the moral atmosphere of the
home, an ideal of what it should be
like must be kept in mind and then
active steps taken to produce it.

OXYGENIZE YOUR HOME

The basis of healthy physical life
is an ample supply Of oxygen. If the
supply is diminished past certain
point death follows.
Similarly the supporting factor

Upon the oxygen of good home con-
