Polish towns are taking to the idea

this way the novelist Weissenhof.

mountaineers. All awards are not equal

1t has been said that only two things
are certain about the laureates of Lwow
first, they are completely unknown,
and, second. they have always inhabit-
ed the town that has rewarded them.
CracoW recently offered three prizes
for new plays. The awards had scarce
ly been published when one OF the Jury
rushed into print with an article criti-
cizlng both his colleagues decisions and
the plays selected, particularly because
one of the prize winners had written
play deprecating Cracow Is years be-
fore. This started a dispute which
had the result that two of the prize
winners refused to accept their prizes,
putting municipal patronage Of liter
allure under cloud.

High-speed motion picture cameras,

Apollo Discovered

An important discovery has just been
made in the excavations OF Pompeii
which Vesuvius buried around 800 B. C.
In the Via Of Abundance, so called be-
cause of the many statues and old OBJ
jects unearthed, a statue OF Apollo 3
feet in height. of excellent Grecian
composition, has come to light. 1t is
made of marble. but bears traces of
polychromatic coloring. This usage Of
painting over marble and wooden
statues was frequently adopted in Ro-
man and Greek times. Except by some
ultramodernists in Germany this method
has been completely abandoned.

| most legitimate use of intelligence is to
| apply it to explain life itself, and this
holds as true of the life Of the Nation
at large as it does of individuals. One
does not need the gift of prophecy of
things that have not yet happened;
and craftsmanship. above all, is the
application of this principle to national
life. so that crises may not take us by
surprise.
But the starting point for an under
standing OF the possibilities of the fu-
| ture lies in a greater knowledge of the
facts of the past and the present. BY
the very thought given to the problems
of the world today We are in a better

Taking thought, however, does not
mean giving free rein to the magma

Rcparations and Debts.

When one turns to the old problem of
PREPARATIONS and debts, it is clear that
once the present young commission has
terminated its laborS, always assuming
agreement is reached. the situation will
be this: Germany will be required to pay
certain sum Of money annually for a
fixed number Of years This sum will
be equal to the sum of the yearly con-
tributionS paid 10 us and to each other
by the formerly allied nations and
roughly to the further amount paid by
France and Belgium on account of the
bonds issued by them to defray the
costs Of reconstructing their deyasted
area. This latter amount can be
licuidated by direct relations between
Germany France and Belgium.
Thus. what will exist will be two sets
Of contracts, those made with US by our
debtor associates. those made by these
associates with Germany; and they will
be equal. The next step will be TO find
come way by which the allies may dis
appear and the whole transaction may
be reduced TO a direct payment by Ger
many TO US.
But this means that Germany will
undertake TO sell in the American mar
ktt some billions Of dollars worth of
bonds and turn over the proceeds to our
treasury Then VIC shall tear up the
notes of the allies, and what remains

YOUR INCOME A

Increase in the value Of property
accruing before March /, 1918, Is not
taxable, even though 1t was realized
that the constitutional amendment
authorizing congress to tax incomes
Of individuals became effective as
of March I. 1913. The revenue act
Of 1928 contains provisions for de-
termining the gain or loss on the sale
or other disposition of property ac-
Quired by purchase before March I,
1913. The basis provided Is the
cost OF such property or the fair
market value as OF March I. 1918,
whichever is greater. For example,
a taxpayer bought in 1910 property
for which he paid $4,000. The value
on March /. 1913, was $4,000. He
sold it in 1923 for $4,000. The
March I. 1919, value being greater
than the cost Of the property. the
taxable gain Is fiQurpd on that basis
and amounts to $4,000.
A TAXPAYER bought in 1910 prop
