OXFORD England, July 2i.- A tax on American and other tourists is suggests by the Isis, !" the Oxford University magazine, in the course of an editorial di- rected against overseas visitors.
 The tax, the margarine sug- gests, should be devoted to the oxford Preservation Trust, which has been formed 10 prevent the enercaehment of manufacturing plants into the university part of the city.

Amer1can League
Juneau City League

SEATTLE, July Reduce tions in fire insurance rates which in some parts of the State will mean that property owners will pay 35 per cent less for protection, were on file today at the office of the State Insurance Commissioner at Olympia, local insurance men announced.
 The reductions were said to be the third step in rate war waged between the companies affiliated with the Board of Fire Underwriters and the companies which operate independently of that board.
 The rates apply to 162 com panies operating in this State, and represent the third cut in three years. The new rates do not cancel the standard rates, which remain in effect, although the companies are doing business at rates below the standard level.

Thrift of Old Quaker Guardian Helped H. C.
 HOOuer ip Early Life

WEST BRANCH, Iowa, July 24 -Lawrie Tatum, old Quaker who was Herbert Hoover's guardian when he was boy, predicted the success of his orphan charge when Hoover was only 21.
 "He will succeed" Tatum fore cast, because he is frugal, indus trious and energetic"
 The example of his guardian, in making the tiny nest egg left by Hoover's mother grow each year by the alchemy of thrift and shrewdness, was a sterling one for the orphan lad to follow
 On the rumpled and much thumbed pages of the old records in the Cedar county courthouse at Tipton may be traced the story of how Lawrie Tatum's strict econ omy and careful Investments made the original sum of $304.63 with which Hoover faced the world in 1885, grow to $S22.67 in 1891, when the future republican nominee had reached Is.
 Tatum's first annual report as guardian of Herbert Hoover was made in 1885. It showed that $1.50 a week was being paid for the boys board with an aunt and uncle. When Hulda Hoover died she left $1,000 and a house and lot in West Branch. Herberts S share of the small fortune was $S32.13h, according to the concise report of Tatum. But $15 for a suit of clothes and railroad fare to the home of his uncle in Kingsley Iowa, 7. reduced the amount to $30462.
 Through the courthouse records may be traced to progress of the boy from his mothers death until he was ready to enter Leland Stanford university. It was the firm and kindly hand of Lawrie Tatum, the understanding old Qua ker, which shaped his early for tunes-making his original herl- tage grow by sale of the house, by investments which brought eight per cent and by careful expendi- ture which enabled Hoover to en- ter college with nice sum still saved up.
 Lawrie Tatum. has long since passed from earth, but his orphan ward has more than fulfilled his prediction. Tn 1894 MT. Tatum made his final report to the clerk of court in Cedar county, Iowa, with these optimistic words:
 Herbert c. Hoover is making excellent progress at Leland Stan ford University, California. AL though his funds in my care are about exhausted. yet he is ambi- tious to complete his course in the university"

RENE LACOSTE NOT
 COMING TO AMERICA
 FOR TENNIS TOURNEY

AUTEUIL, France, July 24.- Rene Lacoste has decided not to defend the American Tennis Championship this year and will not proceed to the United States with the remainder of the French team next month. This was his today.
 The general interpretation of Lacoste's action is that France is taking a shot back at the United States Lawn Tennis As sociation for disqualification of Tilden which the French consider wrecked interest in the challenge round for the Davis Cup held by France for the first time in history.

NEW YORK, July 21.-America's s big. happy family of Olympic ath- letes, for the 1928 Games at Am- sterdam, have reached that port.
 Sailing from New York June Il, on the President Roosevelt, the young men and women who will wear the Stars and Stripes in the international contests, have duty which, if successfully performed, will again make the United States supreme in the world of athletics.
 In the past five Olympics Uncle Sam's athletes as unit have been unbeatable. Pre-Olympic dope this year again gives them the edge over the best that will gather at Amsterdam from all parts of the globe.
 Reaching foreign shores will mean loss of sea legs and other en- cumbrances of ocean travel but it will mean no change in tempo rary domicile for the 400 persons aboard the big liner for plans call for quartering all aboardship until the return voyage is completed late in August.
 When the vessel reached Ans terdam the American entries found that even Yankee conveyances had been arranged to carry them to and from their hotel-ship. Two Navy motor launches were taken along for this purpose.
 And American food was served almosA exclusively. The liner was stocked with tons of American food. Five head chefs and vast staff of cooks, walters and other helpers attended to the appetites of the cruising athletes. If they choose, the Olympic performers could have water from the home- land, too, for five thousand durms of water were stored aboardship.

KFYR AND KFDY
WILL NOT BACK
STATION PLANS
Protest Against Granting Per.
nit to Ipswich Group at
Same Wave Length

kFYR. Bismarck, and KFDY
Bookings, S. OAK, radiocastine
stations, have protested against
further broadcasting competition in
this district.
This became known today when
the Federal Radio Commission be
gan consideration Of an application
Tor permission to erect broadcast
ms station 1T Ipswich. s. Oak. by
rhe Northeru Seed md Nursery
company.
The two operating stations regis.
tered protests with the federal com
mission about two weeks ago.
The application Of the Ipswich o.
ganlzstion asks for permission Ia
operate at a wave length Of $50
kliocycles with power Of 1000 watts,
kFYR, KFDY, and KFJM. Uni
versity of North Dakota, all oper-
ate on the $50 wave length and have
to divide time. The three stations
are allowed to operate with only 500
watts.
Phil j. Meyer. manager Of the To-
cal station, contends that there is
no room for another station in this
district on the same wave length. He
says that the three stations, by mu-
tual agreement, have divided the
time so that program is ION the
arr at that wave length in this dis
trict almost every hour in the day.
Meyer believes that another sta
ton on the same wave length would
unnecessarily crowd the air. and
that none Of the stations would have
q satisfactory length of operating
time.
Action Of the Federal Radio Com
mission IN this case will be an
nounced in few days.
