Trobic Disease Fatal

A DISEASE, brought probably from tropic
countries, has come to plague the dairy
industry in this country, a disease which
usually results in fatalities as high as 40 per
cent of infected animals and which usually
stunts those which survive the attacks.
The disease, known as anaplasmosis closely
resembles tick fever in its symptoms and eff
fects. The progress from infection to death,
in the case of the cattle which die of it.
takes only a short period. varying from two
days to about week.
There is little which science has yet de-
veloped to combat the disease. All that can
be done is to make conditions as good as pos
sible for the sick animals in the hope that
nature will aid In throwing Off the infection.

The D0ldrnms Watched

THE doldrums draw the eyes of the Gulf
States and the islands to the south of the
United States this time of year, for it is from
the doldrums that the destructive tropical hur-
ricanes come to spread havoc over wide areas
The doldrums are large areas of almost COM
plete calm and intense heat, areas which were
once the bane Of sailors until they grew to
understand their location. 1t was no uncom-
mon thing for ship to get in the doldrums,
remain there for months at time until all
food and water supplies were consumed and
death lurked nearby.
The center of the doldrums moves north in
July and south in January. From them come
not only the winds, but the currents of hot
water which work from the Equator to the
Poles

Your Ankles and Your Weight

weight intrigued the ancIents and the early
Greek sculptors had certain definite rules of
proportion which they are said to have derived
from standards devised by the Egyptians as
early as 5000 BIC. However MIR. Willoughby
developed his method from premise based on
the judgment of Leonardo da Vinci.
This great Italian artist and anatomist
thought that body proportions could not be
governed by general measurements, but that
they were an individual affair. In ether words,
correct proportions for you must be determined
from your own measurements.
That was Mr.. Willoughby's idea when he
worked out his method of weight determination.
So far it has not been applied to children, but
that will be the next step.

GLOBE, Ariz., March 1e-Mac (Gol-

categorically denied for the first time
from the witness chair today that he
killed Henrietta SCHNEIDER, Columbia
University student of anthropology.
Both defense and Government rested
upon his unexpected avowal Of tnno-
cence.
United States Attorney John C.
Gung1 failed In a day-long, Slashing
cross-examination to break down Sey-
mour's previous direct testimony. The
Indian testified he was intoxicated and
had not intended to kill the girl last

Admits He Was Drunk.
do you tell this jury you did not
cut that girl that night or any other

i've questioning.
This and other questions brought
from the somber-eyed Apache only
fresh reputation of confession he is
purported to have made to j. A. Street,
Department of Justice agent, on No

II did not cut her" Seymour de-
clared stolidly.

Gung1.
"Yes-I was drunk" Seymour an
swered readily through an interpreter.

"You were so drunk you didn't know
what you were doing" the United

'T was not so drunk cannot re-
member" denied the Apache. IF I
was too drunk I could not remember"

SO MILLIONS LOST
IN INCOME TAXES
First Three Days Receipts for
1881 Show Drop to $s2,512,o0o;
Expected by Officials.

By the Associated Press.
Income tax receipts for the first three
days of collections on 1881 income
amounted to s2,512, 900, which is $685.
100000 less than was the case last year.
This was disclosed yesterday by the

$4,000, 100000 deficit this fiscal year
compared with one Of $9o3,000,000 last
year
The Treasury statement for last
Thursday, the latest issued, showed in
come tax receipts that day amounted
to $24, 269,074, compared with $44, 49,

fiscal year since last June 80 amounted
to 1882, 703, 249, compared with $l,411,-

mately $l75,000,000 smaller than last
March.

State law, under the revenue act of
1925. The Bureau of Internal Revenue
has been granting refunds under these
State laws, according to the rules and
regulations governing refunds.
A Statement Of the Principles.
The practice now generally followed
by the States in collecting the full 80
per cent credit Of the Federal estate
levy Is regarded as valid and fair. One
of the best illustrations OF the theory
behind it is found in an advisory opin-
ion rendered last March by the Supreme
Court of New Hampshire, which was
asked to rule on bill then pending
in the State Legislature to take full
| advantage Of the 80 per cent credit
| provision.
THE bill provides for the imposition
of tax" said the opinion, upon prop
erty passing by will or inheritance in
such an amount as will make the total
OF such taxes laid by the States, etc,
equal to the amount deductible from
the Federal estate tax because so laid.
ut makes the imposition Of the pro-
posed tax dependent upon the right TO
deduct the same from the amount Of
the Federal estate tax, which would
otherwise be payable in full to the Fed
eral Government. We are unable to
perceive wherein such provision would
violate any constitutional right Of the
taxpayer. The amount he is, called
upon to contribute for the support of
| government Is not increased because he
has to pay this State tax.
THE Nation lays a valid tax and
makes valid provisions for its partial
distribution to the several States
through the process of local assess
ments and the deduction thereof from
the Federal tax. Substance, not form,
governs in those matters; and this is
the substance of the whole transaction.
g. Tt Is our opinion that II the bill Is
enacted it will be valid law"

THE AXE NEEDED

THE Presidents suggestion to congress
Il that consolidation of effort in the ex-
ecutive department is badly needed, will
be readily appreciated by any who have
an opportunity to look through the con-
gresSional directory.
In the latest number of the book there
are 6S independent offices and eStab-
lishments" listed.
These are aside from the numerous
commissions, bureaus and boards which
function directly under the supervision
of the various departments of the cabi-
net.
Their range is wide one and they
cover a multitude of activities.
The Federal Coordinating Service,
for instance, has IA sub-services under
its jurisdiction, including ''coordinator
for motor transport, District of Colum-
bia"; ''interdepartmenal board of con-
tracts and adjustments" and "interde-
partmental board on simplified office
procedure"
Another independent commission is
the National Screw Thread Commits
sion''.
There is THE Aeronautical Board
and National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics". Surely the work of these
is so closely allied that one commission
could do the work of both.

There are international boundary COM
missions for the United States and Can

sion for the United States and Canada,
a highway commission with Canada, a
water commission with Mexico, an in
land waterways corporation, an inter-
national highway special commissioners
for the United States and Canada and
score of others.
All of these cost money, and there is
no doubt that there is much duplica-
tion of effort.
Numerous other boards, commissions
and bureaus, directly under the various
cabinet departments, also appear to be
in need of consideration, to judge from
q casual perusal of the directory.

IWIH NOW enterton you

The guests ate ice cream and
cake and played games and
talked about the poor, old weather,
which never seems to have any
friends, and then Uncle Wiggily
spoke about making music.
Have you the cotton ready,
Nurse Jane?" asked Mrs. Long
ears. For she and the muskrat
lady housekeeper had decided that
since Uncle Wiggily had threatened
to sing, the best thing to do would
be to give each guest a wad OF
cotton from the milkweed plant TO
stop up ears with. Then Uncle
Wiggily's queer singing would not
be heard.
But before Nurse Jane could pass
around the wads of cotton, Uncle
Wiggily hoped out on the back
porch and come in with the piano
Jack Frost had made for him out
of icicles. The icicles were tied
together with strings of red glass
beads and Uncle Wiggily had two
sticks with which to tap the long,
slender pieces of ice to make his
music.
"All ready Here I come, now,
to make jolly music for my Wife's
party" cried Uncle Wiggily as he
came in from the back porch with
the icicle piano.
"Oh, dear! I just dread this!"
sighed Mrs, Longears, who knew,
from having heard him, that her
husband could not sing.
Never mind" squeaked Nurse
Jane, taking up a bunch of the
wads Of cotton from the pods OF
the milkweed plant. 1T will soon
be over"
Uncle Wiggily hoped into the
room where all the party company
were sitting with their empty cake
and ice cream dishes in their laps.
Il am now going to entertain
you!" said the rabbit gentleman,
making a low and polite bow with
his pink, twinkling nose.
"Hurray!" cried Mr.. TWistytail
the fat pig gentleman, who had
eaten seven dishes of ice cream.

Then, all of sudden, instead of
singing, which his wife and Nurse
