Proposed Increase.
Protests against the Mapes tax bills

Protests against the Mapes tax bills
were voiced last night by members of
the Takoma Park Citizens Association
at a meeting in the Takoma Park
branch of the Washington Public
Library, Fifth and Cedar streets.
In resolution presented by John
Walker, delegate to the Federation of
Citizens Associations, and unanimously
adopted by the Takoma organization, it
was stated:
That inasmuch as the District Of
Columbia is voteless and helpless in
matters of determining taxes, that the
citizens of Washington be given right
to be heard on all matters of taxation
before any action is taken by Congress
That we ask that no further action
be taken on the Mapes taxation bills
until the Bureau of Efficiency has had
chance to pass on their fairness, and
that we commend Senator Arthur Cap
per and the members of the Senate Dis
trict Committee for their fairness in
their efforts for fuller investigation of
District matters"
Copies of the resolution were ordered
sent to the House and Senate District
Committees
The association also went on record

RICHMOND, Va, January 13.-More
than 5000 women Throughout the State,

tisers who use billboards on the public

division of roadside beauty of the Vir-
ginia Federation, and Mrs. Buck de-
clares that each of the $50 member
clubs are backing the measure and will
use their influence to have it passed
by the Legislature.
Under the provisions of the bill no
person is prohibited from advertising
his own goods or services on his own
premises, and such advertisers are ex-
empt from the payment of fees which
are required of others.
The Virginia Association Of Fairs.
which ended its two-day session here
yesterday, adopted a resolution asking
the State Highway Department to allow
county fair advertising along the high
ways to remain a reasonable length
of time up to the date of the fairs,
and it is likely that when the bill is
introduced in the General Assembly
some amendment will be offered under
which agricultural exhibitions will not
be included in its provisions.

FARRELL RESIGNS
ASU. S. STEEL HEAD
Rise From Mill Worker to
Head Of Huge Corporation
Reals Like Fiction.
BY the Associated Press.

BY ths Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 13.-James A.
Farrell, whose rise in the world of steel
over a period Of nearly half a century
has few equals in fact or fiction, will
retire on April 18 as president of the
United States Steel Corporation, a post
he has held for 81 years.
Announcement of his retirement was
made at his Fifth Avenue home last
night. 1t came in a simple statement
frank cognizance to his advanced age
and the "advisability of establishing
the management upon foundation
composed OF younger men"
His retirement will anticipate by
nearly year the date when he would
automatically have been placed on the
retirement list.
Mr.. Farrell's rise from a mill worker
to the presidency of the worlds largest
steel corporation was accomplished step
by step and by dint of sheer effort.
The tireless energy which marked his
climb upward through minor response
bilities to a position as head of the
United States Steel Products Export
Company, in which capacity he began
to achieve his greatest reputation
among steel men, spoke of the rugged
strength Of the metal with which he
worked.
Mr. Farrell became president of the
United States Steel Corporation in jan
uary, 1911. He has been a stanch
defender of the workingman and con-
sistently has advocated maintenance of
high wage scale
His retirement will not mean he con-
siders his lifework finished. He will
continue to remain a member of the
board of directors and, in his own words,
will continue to assist in every way
possible the best interests of the cor
poration"

 Helfritz, who was held captive for some time in the town of Me- nacha, west of Hodeida, under suspicion of espionage, has estab- lished that Yemen is identical with the ancient domain of the Queen of Sheba, and was closely connected with the ancient Ro- man world, according to the re- port. He believes he has found the ancient Road of Incense" over which. this costly commodity was taken to Mesopotamia. This is the land, and not the sea, route which is mentioned in the ancient his- tory of commerce. he says.
