YORK
!!|!I var

What'll You Have?
New York, April lit has been
breezed about for many year that
you can find just about anything you
might wish, however old or unique. In
New York.
For instance, suppose you wanted a
weasel! What would you want q weas-
ell for? You'd be surprised! To get rid
of mice and rats, Of course. In low
er New York there's firm that has
been renting out weasels these many
years. A weasel, in case you don't
happen to know 1t, is natural enemy
of any rodent All you have to do is
to turn one of the long. contortionistic
animals lose in a building and the
weasel will go down drain pipes and
through rat holes until the last pest
has been conquered.
One merely goes into the store and
rents so many weasels at SO much per
night. Then the weasel keeper goes
to the top floor OF a building with a
little cage, lets loose his hunters and
then waits downstairs until they've
gone through the buildings and call
1t night. In case one Of the ami
mails fails to show up, there's way
of detecting it's whereabouts. A tiny
bell is attached and the sleuthing is
merely a matter of keeping an ear
open.
The weasels have all been trained
to return, and this in itself Is quite
a job. But since this strange business
has been going on for some Is years
or more, there's quite a family now.

Decline in Income Taxes

Before congress passes a new reve-
nue. bill the treasury probably will
know, on the basis of the March re-
ports, how much revenue will be
Forthcoming from income taxes dur
ing the remainder of the current fis-
cal year. That knowledge will aid in
the formulation of a tax plan and
might contribute either to the pas
sage or defeat OF such a plan.
During the first eight months Of
the current fiscal year income taxes
yielded $638, l21 300. There are yet to
be collected in this fiscal year two in
stalmentS Of tax on the anaenic in
comes Of 1881. 1t is estimated that
the total yield for the year will be
5000 100000. Income tax receipts two
years ago totalcd two and One-half
times that amount and nearly twice
as much last year.
None expects the income tax re-
turns for 1891 incomes to do anything
else but fortify the treasury's de-
mands for higher taxes or for a dras-
tic cut in federal expenditures. The
former involves other levies than
higher income rates and the latter
means drastic salary cuts, and a gen.
eral retrenchment in governmental
activities and employment. The sug-
gested alternative of more borrowing
is untenable as a threat to national
credit, which must not be impaired.
Taxation is the true test Of a dem
ocracy. Partisan politics and polit-
ical expediency may dictate the next
tax plan or the American principle
and ideal of equal taxation for all
may prevail. Whether democracy
wins depends upon whether a major.
ity of congressman arc strong or
weak, far-sighted or near-sighted.

Flowers for Rent
In Eighth Street, near Washington
Square Greenwich Village) there's a
little basement flower shop where
plants are purchased not for we'd
dings. funerals, birthdays and such
but for commercial artists.
Rarely are they sold. They are
rented. The shop-keeper learned
some years ago that artists in the
Village zone go sleuthing about for
certain flowers to be used in still life
paintings or sketches. The artist
rarely wanted to keep them for long,
so the plants are rented out by the
day and collected afterward, to be
used all over again. All the store
keeper has to do is learn the artists
tastes and keep the plants growing.

Unemployed Money

Much is being heard nowadays
about dollars at work. What does II
mean?
A dollar in a savings fund is the
most simple form of investment and is
a typical dollar at work Any dollar
that earns something for its owner
is working dollar. And every dol
lar that earns for its owner is Great
ing capital, credit, business or en-.
ployment for others.
Money in the bank earns interest
In securities, dividends; in business
profits; in industry, profits anc
wages; in life insurance, capital, div.
idends and protection. In each in
stance it is money at work.
Dollars at work dig mines, turn mil
wheels, till the soil. provide employ.
ment and create profits and credit
But what does the idle dollar do? II
tolls not, neither does it spin. It has
home only, and it's home may be ir
an old sock or straw mattress. MOI
can 1t claim greater security thar
the working dollar.
The idle dollar is out of a job, does
not work, cannot earn. In a year:
time, in 20 years, as long as it is kept
in idleness, it will be the same ole
dollar; it will not have increased a
penny's worth.
Thrift and caution do not require
that money be boarded. Billions Of
dollars invested during the period OF
initiation are worth hundred cents
on the dollar today and are still
working and earning. And many dol
lars boarded during a period of de-
flation will be lost to the hoardcrs
forever through fire and theft.

The infant mortality rate is tne

born alive. The control OF deatns
amone infants is q problem to when
health authorities have given specla'
attention in recent years.
AS result, the NUMBER Oh SUI A..
deaths has constantly fallen and to-
day the infant mortality rate IN :
community is taken as q stanoaro ..
measurement for the health conoit'on
Of the community.
It must be remembered, however
that the infant mortality rate Is the
result of many forces, including the
social and economic status OF the com.
munity, the customs OF dliierent
races and nationalities, the hesltn
knowledge of the people and the pres
ence Of hospitals and medical centeEs
