Avoiding Tran1ps

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore, Aug. 2.
U.P)-Klamath Falls was shown a
new way to get rid of its hobo visit
ors-one of the wobblieso himself
discovered the effective method.
Attempting to make flying trip
to the railroad track from the hobo
"jungles', the man fell in sticky
morass of oil and mud. For nearly
two hours he struggled frantically
to keep his head above the sur
face of the quagmire.
Help finally came in row boat
and pulled him out. He then spent
several hours scrubbing his odor-
Gus clothes SO they could be worn
again. AS soon as he was finished,
he donned them and left town,
leaving railroadmen to disinfect
their befouled shower room.

Merchants May
Absorb Nev Tax

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 2. U.H-
Merchants desiring to absorb the
new 21s per cent retail sales tax
may do so without violating the
law, according to Fred Stewart,
member Of the state board of equal
ization.
The intent of the law, however,
is that the tax shall be collected
from the consumer, Stewart said.
He explained that while the law
reads the tax "shall be collected
from the consumer insofar as the
same can be done,' this provision
cannot be interpreted as manda-
tory. If so interpreted it would be
tantamount to setting the price
at which the retailer should sell his
goods. Such an act would be un-
constitutional, he said.
Should the retailer elect to alb
sorb the tax, however, he is Spe-
officially prohibited by provision
in the law from advertising that
he is doing so.

NEW TYPE Of
CAR DESIGNED

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Aug. 2.
U.R-A new type motor car, radi-
cally different from any on the
market, has been designed here by
w. Sterling Burgess, yacht builder,
and soon will be put on the road
for tests.
Burgess, a former lieutenant
commander in the navy, has de-
signed the car much after the
models of the Glass c dirigibles,
which he developed. Wind resist
ance is cut 80 per cent, compared
with that of present models, he
says, and the chassis is mounted
on three wheels instead of the con-
ventional four.
The cars are bullet shaped and
come to point in the rear. They
are built to seat four people. The
single wheel, at the rear, is used
for steering. The front wheels
drive the car, which is powered
with an eight-cylinder motor.

be used, now that the government
has made it possible to purchase

Baby Chick
Season Not :
Far Away

Mating the breeding birds in the
home poultry flock to secure the
best and most vigorous baby chicks
is the problem Immediately before
the North Carolina p%oultryman.
THE object in breeding poultry
is to reproduce and increase, where
possible, those desirable traits to be
found in the males and females of
our'farm flocks," says Roy 5. Dear
styne, head of the poultry depart
ment at State College, If certain
desirable characteristics are lacking
on nj side, they may be corrected
on another by breeding with birds
that are strong in such Characters
tics. By this method a reasonable
balance may be secured in the flock.
Thus, if one group of birds are good
layers but are weak in some other
they may be bred with birds
having the desirable strength. The
careful p%oultryman will begin to
select his mating hens right away so
that the birds may adjust them
selves to new conditions before the
eggs are to be saved for incubation
Dearstyne believes it may be nee
essary to buy some new blood if
careful mating and pedigree work
has been done on the farm in the
past. However, no poultryman
should buy new stock without a
personal visit to the farm where he
plans to buy. Should this not be
possible, Dearstyne recommends a
conference with the county agent
about the matter.
Before establishing a breeding
pen, the females should get a final
culling and the birds examined for
vitality, defects, body weight and
the like. Late moulters are usual
ly high producers. Those hens
moulting in September should have
had a profitable year but those
moulting after October l probably
are the highest producers in the
flock.

building trades back to work.
This is the sort of "capital goods
expenditure which economists agree
is necessary to complete recovery.
Economists are beginning to
agree on some other things ON
which they disagreed sharply only
a few months ago. One of these
things is the money question. One
by one the outspoken opponents of
the plan to devaluate the gold dol
lar are coming around to a reali-
ztion that, SO long as the Federal
credit is good, it will hive no effect
on the value of the dollar of COM
merce, but will have a good effect
on foreign trade and lead to the
early return to a modified stand
ard by all the world.
Another monetary subject which
was bitterly opposed a few months
g is silver. The taboo against sill
yer arose from the fact that the
free coinage of silver was a major
partisan issue of forty years ago,
and the conservative tradition has
been ever since, that anyone who
wants silver recognized as money
must be a dangerous radical. But
the men who have been studying
the subject closest, even though
they were opposed to silver at first
are now coming out and saying
that, so long as silver is the money
of half the worlds people, we can
not restore international monetary
stability unless we restore silver to
its old monetary position of only
seven years ago. So an announce
ment by the President hat the
Government will buy silver may be
expected at any time.
When the international price of
the dollar in gold will be stabilized
nobody knows, not even the Presi-
dent. The present depreciation Of
the dollar in foreign trade is having
a good upward effect upon the
prices of American export commo-
dities. Internal prices are rising in
