estate, mortgages, and personal
loans Of deprecated value.
Oren S. Hack, appointed by Cox
TO succeed Curtis Rottger as receiver
of the City Trust and Brandt c.
Downey Of the Washington institu-
ton, petitoned for permission to re-
appraise the assets.
Hack has expressed the belief that
the records turned over TO him did
not represent an accurate picture of
their condition, due to depreciation
in market values. Permission was
granted and the work is under wav.
Audit Is Started
At the same time, an audit of
records Of the Meyer Kiser bank is
being made by the state bank ex-
aminer's department, following 2
demand by depositors for informa-
ton.
A fight also is being conducted in
circuit court to institute receivership
proceedings against the MeyerKiser
institution, on the ground that the
bank is inSolvent.
Liquidating agents of the bank,
through their attorneys, contend
that the bank, because of its liquida
ton process can not be thrown ito
receivership.
Cox today overruled motion Of
attorneys for the Meyer-Kiser bank
to strike out the receivership action.
1t is expected that additional mo-
tons will be filed today, in an effort
to keep the banks affairs out of cir
cult court.
In a final report filed by Rottger
last week assets of the City Trust
from his appraisal, we're listed at
only $10O5, 59847, against liabilities
OF more than $2OO0,O00
Cash assets we're given at $62,-
91878, and nearly half of the re-
naming assets are contained in per-
sonal notes, stocks and bonds valued
on a 1881 appraisal.
Little Cash Shown
In a monthly report filed Monday,
Hack declared that total pledged
and unpledged cash of the Wash
ington bank was $22,340.33 of which
only $4,94971 is available
Disbursements of $38851 during
the month has brought the total to
$2470597, with receipts of $2,75415.
Harry Nicoli was appointed an
appraiser in place of Alex Cham
bers, who declined to serve because
of having had a part in the previ-
Gus appraisal of the Washington
assets.
Final report of Eben Wolcott, due
in court last Saturday, has not been
received. A final report was sub
mitted to Cox by Wolcott at the
time that Homer Elliott was APP
pointed receiver, but was not &C
Cepted by the court.

AERONAUTICS ADVANCES WITH
METEOROLOGY'S AID.

Originally aeronautics served meteorology. Now
meteorology serves aeronautics.
The balloons first constructed in the United
States were useful mainly a means for exploring
the atmosphere according to w. R. Gregg OF the
Weather Bureau United States Department OF Agr1-
culture Back as far 1884 an American scientist
made daring balloon ascensons to add to our
knowledge of air movements above the earth. Later
observers gathered information by sending up
kites and balloons equipped with devices for record
ing conditions in the upper layers of the air Facts
thus acquired led the discovery of the SHAKESPEARE
an epoch-making event in meteorology that COM
pleely revised the current conception Of the struc-
ture of the atmosphere.
When the World War gave aeronautics its great
impetus the need for a special weather service
having large number of stations and capable OF
issuing frequent reports on air conditions became
apparent. The system of flying weather forecasts
then inaugurated by the Weather Bureau was the
forerunner of todays service Of intensive, short
period and trip forecasts that make II possible
for pilots to chart safe through the air.
This service which was provided for by the Air
Commerce Act of 1926 at present covers about
25000 miles of airways in the United States
Although airplanes also play an important
part in obtaining data which forecasts for Tiers
based balloons retain their place in sounding

Ups and Downs of Taxes.
(New York Times.)


Full returns of the internal revenue collected
by the Federal Government during the fiscal year
ending with last June confirm the differences already
drawn from the successive monthly reports. In spite
of the higher rates. the yield of income taxes showed
reduction of 5000 100000, from 1882. To this
falling off corporation income taxes contributed
s235 100000 and individual income taxes S74,000000
1t is the old story again. When incomes drop
or disappear entirely the increased rates result in
only decreased yield. The contrast the new stamp
taxes together with the income from beer and wine,
taxable during only part of the fiscal year, pulled
up the total to make the general income OF
the Government $62O0O0O0 larger than in the prev
ous year This obviously renforces the argument
for repeal of Prohibition on the ground that it
will yield to the Government large increase in
revenue Among the stamp taxes, it is of inter-
est to note that those checks and other con-
veyances of money brought in s38,000000. In their
the cost of collection is almost nothing being
in fact, virtually automatic. Much the same could
be said of the tax on telephones telegraph mes
sages, ETC., yielding total Of $1400O0O0
All the schedules reported by the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue deserve careful study by tax
experts and by the House Committee on Ways and
Means preliminary to recastng OF at least some
of the levies by the next session OF Congress-

Wars are fought necessarily and lives occasionally
are lost in the laboratories of the world. But this
is a war in which Crox de Queries are seldom
handed out. The soldiers, not a pushing lot, seek
their adornment mainly in the knowledge that they
have advanced science little further.
The names of a few medical and research heroes
have been lifted high after death from innocuatlon
with the virus of some diseases they were combat
ing There are many who receive germs in their
blood stream who recover, and few except their
associates and families know that they had descend
ed for time into the valley of death for humanity
sake.
Now comes a report from st. Louis where
sleeping sickness" has taken $50 victims, that three
scientists have allowed themselves to be bitten by
mosquitoes which had bitten sufferers in testing the
theory that insects transmit the disease. For weeks
the scientists have been trying to solve the mystery
by letting insects bite patients and then animals
monkeys and rabbits, but with result. Now the
three men have volunteered.
1t is characteristic of this breed of men that
they are anonymous. When they go into a abora-
tory they enlist for the duration of the war, like
policemen, firemen soldiers
1t will take from ten days to two weeks to see
lif the experiment is successful by which, we hope
lis meant that the disease germ will be captured
and the patients live to tell the story!
