Firemen May Use
Radio to Answer
ID. C. Calls Faster
Experiments Conducted
With Supplemental
Alarm System.

Experiments looking toward adoption
Of radio by the District Fire Depart
ment, as a supplement to its regular
telephone alarm system, are being car
ried on in the District Electrical De-
paTtment, under the direction of J. c.
Simpson, supervising director Of the
electrical system.
If the experiments prove successful
they will lead to installation of radio
transmitter in the fire alarm headquar-
tiers at the District Building, with loud
speakers in the various engine and
truck houses, so messages may be trans
mitted by radio as well as by telephone.
The radio will utilize the gong circuit,
but will not interfere with the regular
alarm system.
Preliminary experiments, conducted
at Engine Company No. IA and at
and 3 Truck Companies, have proved
successful, it was said.

OLD INCOME TAX
RATE STILL HOLDS
Changes Discussed by Con-
uresS Are Not Effective
This Year.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Judging by inquiries received here,
many people do not understand that
when they make out their tax returns
for filing on March Is they will use the
old rates and schedules. e nd will not be
affected by the pror Led tax changes
now being discussed ! Congress.
Even the capital Gains and loss pro-
visions are intact the individual or
corporation filing yurns, but this will
not be the case wi n March Is, 1888,
arrives. On that date the new rates for
individuals and corporations Will take
effect.
It is planned, of course, that the
manufacturers sales tax will be made
effective shortly after the new law is
passed, but this is like the other gen.
eral taxes on specific commodities and
articles which have been In effect.
These usually are applied within 80 or
so days after new legislation Is COM
pleted with the Presidents signature.
Congress in Hurry.
Congress is In somewhat Of hurry
lust the same to get new tax law be-
cause the indirect taxes will bring in
many millions of dollars even before
the present fiscal year comes to an end
on July /. It is desired also to show
the world that the taxing power is be-
ing applied to bring about balanced
budget.
AS for individuals and corporations,
however. the new rates on income taxes
will be of no direct importance until a
year hence. BY that time, incidentally,
another presidential election will have
been passed and a new President will
have been inaugurated as well as a
new Congress elected. The tax rates
generally will be higher, but 1t Is the
hope of Congress that business con-
ditions will have improved to such an
extent that the new tax burden will not
be impossible to bear.
The decision not to make tax changes
retroactive was taken several weeks
ago. but the defniteness of the policy
has apparently not percolated as far
across the country as it should. The
determination was based upon the fact
many people had not expected higher
tax requirements and hence had not
prepared themselves for 1t, so there
would have been numerous personal
embarrassments and possible bankrupt
cies due to inability to raise the cash
to meet the Governments installments.
Chance for Adjustment.
As it works out now, the country will
have chance 70 ADJUST 1tSelI TO tne
new conditions. Individual budgets will
have at least nine months for revision
to meet the payments of next year,
which may at the option Of the tax
payer be spread over four times begin
ming with March IS. 1888.
It probably will take another month
for the new tax law to get through
Congress, as opposition to various pro-
posals in the manufacturers tax is
bound to come. There is, however,
such a capitalization Of opinion in
Congress In favor of the new form Of
taxes that it is doubtful If the oppo-
Etion will be successful

 The pilot carried with him a sealed barograph to make the flight official. And for food, he carried two egg sandwiches with only q quart Of drinking water.
