Mr.. Mellon stressed the advlS-
ability of a sufficiently well-bal-
anced system" to provide the rev.
enues that the government must
count on from year to year. He said
that some 100000 individuals pay
about 81 per cent of the individual
income tax collections. The secre-
tary sad that the tobacco tax,
which yielded $450,OOo0O0 in 1880,
and the customs duties, which
yielded $587 100000, could be relied
upon to produce an even flow Of
revenue. It may be interesting tC
readers to know that the individ-
ual income tax netted ST 095 100000
in 1890 and that the corporation III,
come tax brought in $1,263 100000.
Quite a sentiment for increased
taxation comes from independents
Republicans, or Insurgents, as they
are called, but other party leaders
are not responding. Senator Har-
rison, a Democrat, is outspoken in
opposing any gasol ne or automo
bile tax, as proposed, and limited
that a tax reduction might do busi-
ness some good. How ever, we would
classify most tax talk at this time
as feelers, inasmuch as it is too
early to tell what ought to be done
when Congress convenes.
In fact, the general opinion is
that the administration Will not
know where it stands" until this
fail, and that pribably no addi-
tioaal taxes will be set up until af-
ter the presidential election of next
year. If, then, the situation has
not righted itself, the probability
looms that a strong effort will be
made to extend the field of taxa
ton. SO as to renew various stamp
taxes and also a gasoline tax, which
Sen. Harrison opposes.

Mrs. Brown and the 28-year-old son
Paul, accused Of staying his parents and
missing since the fire, or whether all
three died In the flames.
Discovery OF the gun, officials pointed
out, would indicate Paul Brown died In
the fire. Chester Bunge, odd jobs man
at the Browne home, reported to officers

WOODCOCK ORDERS
KEENER rum WAR
Addition of 500 Agents to
Make Possible Harder
Fight on LaWIeSS.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Development of new and more stren-
uous plan of campaign" against dry
law violators, built around the addition
of 500 new dry agents, was made known
today by Prohibition Director Wood
cock.
Within recent days, Woodcock said, a
circular has been dispatched to all pro-
hibition administrators, deputys and
instructors throughout the country de-
falling what Is expected Of them.
They have been ordered to submit, in
reply, a plan Of future operation in
their territories, detailing the use to
which the new agents, authorized by
Congress, will be put.
I'VE want to have a definite plan of
action in every section before July /. !"
The prohibitions director said, There IS
no use in having increased facilities
unless there is q plan Of campaign to
employ them"
The purchase of $4,000 worth of
automobiles for use by the dry forces
also was announced. Bids will be sent
out shortly, Woodkcock said, in order
that they may be delivered before July
/. They will be light, fast cars, costing
less than $1,000 apiece, he added.
$50 Agents at Work.
OF the 500 new dry agents, Wood
cock said approximately $50 had been
appointed during the past month and
were now at work.
Orders have gone out to all admins
traitors, he said, to make selections of
the additional $50 men from among
approximately 1000 eligibles in order
that they might report exactly on July
/, the. first day their salary will be
authorized.
In preparation, the Prohibition Blu
Seau'S "a instructors have been ordered
to report to Washington early in June
for q 'refresher" course of instruction.
They viii be back at their posts in the
IL prohibition districts on the morning
Of July 1. Two weeks Of intensive
schooling for the $50 new men will then
be undertaken, with the idea of having
them in the field and at work by
July IS.
Must Go to New York.
OF the $50 dry agents recently thrown
into the field, Woodcock said the largest
number had been put in New York
State, with the next largest ALLEGATION
in the Chicago district.
When all 500 are at work, 90 will be
located in New York, 80 in the district
embracing Illinois, Wisconsin and In
diana, and 10 in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware.
THESE ALLEGATIONS" woodcock said,
represent our best guess as to where
men are most needed to thwart the
plans Of large-scale commercial vio-
lators OF the prohibition laws"

fourth cup Of shortening, with

well-beaten egg and teaspoon of
vanilla. Sift two and one-fourths
cups flour and a half teaspoon of
salt. To the creamed mixture, add
alternately cup of milk and the
sifted mixture. Mix the fruit with
flour enough to coat it lightly and
add it to the batter. Steam one
hour and serve hot with tart
pudding sauce. The same pudding
may be baked half an hour, in
which case it will not be so light

Breakfast Briefs

To remove wrinkles from coat
lay the garment out flat on the
kitchen table. Sponge the lining
lightly with a damp cloth, then put
the coat on hanger, and brush
the wrinkles with a damp whisk
broom. Repeat several times. Leave
the coat on the hanger until it IS
dry, preferably out-of-doors.
The Spreading of Colds
It is said if the table silver in the
house where one person has bad
cold is boiled once day it will aid
greatly in preventing the cold from
spreading through the house. Tines
of forks are said to be germ car
riers in particular, unless carefully
washed and scalded.
When at loss as to how to dec
crate the table, for the children
party, buy a pound of vanilla
crackers and a pound of vanilla
waters. Dip the feet of the animals
into cream icing and stand an
animal on each wafer. Let stand
until thoroughly set and dry. Ar
range to advantage and see how
pleased the Riddles will be with
the menagerie.
One way to vary the flavor Of
potatoes other than rolling in
melted butter and chopped parsley
is to add a few pieces of dry dill
plant to the water in which they
are boiling thus giving a seasoning
which is more than skin deep. Po-
tatoes prepared this way are es-
pecially good to serve with fish OF
to be used cold in potato salad.

The old-fashioned trick Of heat
ing the plates to keep the food hot
is not bad one, though it harks
back to the day of wood ranges and
even farther still, of dining rooms
far removed from the kitchen,
when line of servants carried the
food from the cooking room,
which was often in a separate
building from the rest of the
house.
Another way is to heat the cas-
erole in the oven or on top of it,
when you are baking, and to set
it on the table with the hot bis
cults or baked potatoes in it. Tilt
the cover to let out steam. The
last morsel served will still be hot.
The tea coy or dish pad, smuggling
close to the hot dish, is another
way to keep food hot. For the
picnic, set the hot dish in CORFU
gated paper box which is well
lined with shreds of newspapers,
and it will keep hot for hours. The
heated soapstone from the fireless
cooker will help.

Rural Home Lighting

A study of rural home lighting
has been made by home economies
experts. It has been discovered
that most of the lamps are the
ordinary kerosene lamps, or the
round wick kind, with few gaso-
line lamps.
The degree of illumination is
far below the desirable standards
for efficient work or recreation
after dark. Besides this, there is
much glare in the eyes because of
no shades, and the light is poorly
distributed.
By four methods, the lighting
of rural homes might be improved
~ Use more lamps of high
er candle-power; ~ Use two or
more lamps per room; (3) Put
the kitchen lamp above the eye
level; (4) Shade all lamps to
throw the light where you want
it, and to prevent its glare in the
eyes.
Those who use electric light
frequently suffer from Improperly
shaded lamps, as well as from in
sufficient light on their work. Suf-
ficient light, properly distributed
and properly shaded, will make
for better eyesight.

Keeping Food Hot

Hotels and restaurants have an
aluminium cover, the shape of a
pan, which they put over pan
cakes to keep them hot when they
are served. We never have these
in our households, but the food
might be more hot and. tempting if
we did. A substitute might be the
strainer, which may be inverted
over the meat or plate of toast or
pancakes, to keep them hot until
they are set on the table, or even

Several tax proposals are to be
advanced. All are of Importance.
One talked of, but very likely that
is as far as it will go, is the pro-
posal to work out some system of
tax paying so that the taxpayer
can do it on the installment plan
similar to that used by Uncle Sam
in payment of income taxes.
There is considerable merit in
this installment plan payment of
taxes. There is also going to be a
wall about it, when the state de-
positories discover that such a pro-
gram will shut. down on the idle
moneys held by them.
Banks, by the way, are going to
have their troubles. Aside from the
ever present tax problems there
is the proposals for the seggrega-
ton of commercial and savings de-
posits, something which if carried
into law will have the effect of
putting the average small town
bank out of business and force
branch banking from the larger
financial centers.
The small banker needs his saw
ings accounts to aid in extending
credit to the farmer, the grocer
and the business people of his COM
munity. He simply acts as the
custodian for the savings, and
thru his bank, keeps what would
he idle money working for the
good of the community. Stop this
and you throttle the small bank
Uncle Sam is planning on build
ing $2,0OO,OOO office building in
Seattle. Efforts are being made to
have this building, if it is decided
to install its own steam heating
plant, put in modern coal burners.
The coal so used would GO a
long ways towards aiding in build
ing back the coal mine payrolls and
everybody in the state would ben
eft.
But the coal men are facing
California oil competition, and it
is found that the government
agents are inclined to look with
more favor on imported California
oil than they are on Washington's
home mined fuel.
Then there is the old wet and
dry question bobbing up again, re-
calling to mind the stirring days
of the 1907, 1909 and 1911 sessions
when local option was the big is
sue.
There are several schools of
thought represented in this strug-
gle-the earnest dries, the tenn
perance people, the political dries,
who may he personally wet, and
the plain ordinary political dries,
who are afraid to vote their con-
victions, and last the out and out
wet, usually temperance man in
so far as personal habits are con-
cerned, who does not think the ma
ton or state has been bettered by
the prohibition act.
1t is a fair safe bet at this
stage to wager that there may be
many bills, both wet and dry, in
troduced, but the legislature will
place them all in a pigeon hole
and go about its other business.
