He listened for the songs of bird life, for
animals stirring in the underbrush, but every
thing was still. Peace rested over all; even the
trees were silent for there was no wind. But
it was all real, very real, to Henry Bicycle, and
he thought and wondered about it he

THERE was one such face he came to look for
in his dreams. woman's face. Some
times the upper part of woman showed in
ilmy gray against the dark Of a starlit sky.
He tried to see in her the features of a woman
he had loved, the one who had entered for
brief span into his somewhat lovelesS life. But
the face was blurred, indistinct. Always since
he had lost her, since the curtain had fallen
between their lives, he had hoped to see her
in his dreams to keep in touch with her spirit
il she were dead, had watched for her. This
woman who came beckoned him. Always she
beckoned him.
Once it seemed to him he saw through the
hlmy veil of her eyes. There was a look Of
tenderness in them. But it was too heeting
for him to be sure of her. And he wanted to
be sure. Then he would want to follow. Now
he did not Did that mean it was not the
woman he loved? He puzzled over it. After
seeing his dream woman, as he came to call
her he awoke with an ache in his heart. But
he spoke of her to no one
When business dull he would lock his
office and take a book from a drawer in his
desk. The title page read THE Why and
Wherefore of Dreams" But although he read
it and pondered it, it did not satisfy him 1t
said much he knew was guesswork He wanted
facts. Because he dreamed he wanted to know
why-what caused his prosaic mind-to indulge
was but the ordinary mind of an ordinary man
to indulge his fantasy while he slept. The
books all theorized Other people dreamed
he knew that-he had heard them tell of silly
things that had come to them in the night
Of horrors, perhaps, which they ascribed to pork
and beans or mince pie or something else
heavily material. They seemed to think nothing
of it-laughed about it. But for Henry Bicycle
to put his dreams on such gross basis seemed
almost sacregious. They too ethereal
too mysterious, so strange, he felt they must be
touched by that divine spark which God has
placed in every man.
When he found himself walking along the
country lane he thought it dream. But soon
he was sure 1t was not. He stamped and

JUDGE HITS BILL
TO CONTROL MINING
West Virginian Says Davis
Kelly Plan Would Throw
Industry Into Chaos.
BY the Associated Press.

An assertion that the Davis Kelly bill
for Federal regulation of bituminous
mining would throw the industry Into
utter chaos" was made before Senate
committee today by Judge Charles L.
Estep, Logan, w. Va.
He said it would place the industry
under domination of the United Mine
Workers of America, and:
1T simply appoints commission,
provides for the unioniZation of the
mines and dumps the whole subject
into the lap of the commission"
Persuasion is usually first used to
induce the non-union laborer to re-
frain from work. but if this fails, force
Is used" he said. Sometimes it is
mere mass picketing with simple as
saults. More often it consists in the
firing into the mining plant. I have
known two instances of insurrection.
In section of West Virginia where
in 1921 the United Mine Workers mobi-
lized 5000 men under the very shadow
Of the State Capitol. who commandeered
trains. provisions, supplies and who were
only turned back by Federal troops, this
organization does not even exist today.
With legislation inviting organization
and forbldding opposition thereto, this
union would simpy send a corps of or

ganized field" Passage of the Davis

The New York Times printed the
following editorial on the sales tax
today.
Back to the Sales Tax.
indications are mutt plying at
Washington that the best way out of
the taxation muddle will be found to
be to go back to the general sales tax.
The original arguments for it have
only been strengthened by what has
taken place since its defeat by sort
of hysterical uprising in the House No
satisfactory substitute has been de-
vised. Every individual new tax that
has been proposed has been bitterly
attacked. The so-called nuisance taxes.
which the Senate has been writing into
the bill in still more offensive forms.
are awaking throughout the country
protests and resentment stronger than
were or would be reused by a sales tax.
The latter, If adopted, would nnques-
tionably bring in the needed revenue
and balance the budget. 1t would dis
tribute taxation with as near an ap-
proach to an equality of all citizens as
any tax levy can be expected to make.
1t would impose a small burden upon
small consumers, but would be linked
in the same bill with higher rates on
incomes, SO that 1t could not be said
that the poor are treated unjustly. All
would be contributing to the necessary
expenses of the Government in pro-
portion to their ability This would
square with one of the soundest max
inns of taXat' on.
1T has been alleged that 1t would
be hopeless to try to revive the plan
for a sales tax But sentiment in
Congress is obviously, changing on that
subject. When the sales tax was first
proposed it had non-partisan support.
The leaders of both parties were for it.
1t was approved, though not originated
by the Treasury. Secretary Mills was
confident that its administrative fea-
lures could easily be worked out and
that it would yield the large revenue
which is requisite. Although President
Hoover did not openly advocate it, he
gave it-and is now said to be prepared
to give it again-tacit Endorsement.
The general belief is growing that !: is
fair and sound measure of taXatic>
and might well be resorted to now in
place of the many vexatious levies
which have been brought forward as
alternatives to it.
Inc ODJeCtlOn is mace tIlaC II Is dll
emergency tax. This is really an argu-
ment for it, since the country is caught
in an acute emergency. and Congress
Is desperately trying to find way out
of it. What the effect would be If it
resolutely took up and enacted the sales
tax there can be shadow Of doubt.
1T would lift the heavy cloud of un-
certainty now resting upon business. 1t
would put the ability of the Govern
ment to pay it's debts beyond all ques-
ton. 1t would make an end of sus-
picions, so strong abroad and coming
to be entertained rather surprisingly at
home, that the stability of our currency
is endangered. The time has come for
Congress to show that it is capable Of
strong and determined policy re-
specting taxation. If it now turns
back to the sales tax as the one large
and sure solution of its financial prob
lem. the effect of the bold move would
be instantly seen in higher hope and
1rmer confidence throughout the whole
country"

DELAN0 REVEALS
NEW RELIEF PLAN
Urges Nationwide System
on War Basis to Care
for Suffering.

Convinced after conversations with
men in various sections Of the country
that We cannot go through another
Winter without a better method OF
dealing with unemployment, Frederic
A. Delano, chairman of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission,
today disclosed details of a relief plan
he has worked out.
1T is believed" Mr. Delano wrote in
a letter to The Star. that the queS-
tion of unemployment has been too
much associated with charity and too
little considered as a we'll thought out
method CT preserving mems morale and
giving them a chance to do something
pending the time when they can get
regular work.
Urges Careful System.
Mr. Delano outlined his plan as
fellows:
Divide cities into small precincts
say, Of 500 inhabitants, or l25 families
with a resident committee named in
each precinct, who shall be paid small
stipend and held responsible for keep
ing informed as to the health, living
conditions. etc, of every citizen or fam
lily in their district.
With such a plan in good working
order. no relief would be given by any
city or State central committee except
on the recommendation Of this COM
mittee.
Set up regional employment or relief
centers equipped to care for all corners,
with baths. simple meals, opportunities
for work, sleeping quarters, clothes, re-
, pairs. etc. 1t is proposed that employees
in these centers shall be paid approx
mately one-half of standard wages. and
these work opportunities reserved as far
as possible for unemployed men and
women. This work must be regarded
as in the nature of public service or
duty, or as temporary work for en-
ployes seeking permanent positions and
wishing an opportunity to show their
willingness or proficiency.
Suggests Jobless Camps.
ITO relieve in part the unemploym ent
situation arrange to muster in the sound
and healthy young men, l8 to 25 years
of age, inclusive, into volunteer in
dustrial army. Provide them with SIM
pie uniforms (e. g., Cenim) and provide
temporary barracks or tents within a
few miles of the cities. This army will
be under discipline by trained Army or
Reserve officers, and handled much as
was done in training camps during the
war. The purpose is (a) to take these
men off the street, (b) to keep them
occupied. Co to improve their morale,
(d) to teach them discipline, orderli-
ness and simple trades, (e) to give them
regular exercise and moderate work,
and ~ to feed and clothe them and
paw them, say, so cents per day.
Remember, this is not obligatory,
but volunteer work, and it might be ex-
pected to reach, say, 100000 men.
