peal Board.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The American Bar Association today
proposed to the House Ways and Means
Committee that the United States Board
of Tax Appeals be given full Jurisdiction
over refund claims to expedite their dis
position and relieve the burden on dis
trict courts
This was one of IA recommendations
made by the Association Committee on
Federal Taxation by George M. Morris,
it's chairman, the first of some IS wit
nesses on the final days calendar of
the committees hearings on a revised
general revenue bill to be laid before
Congress
$4,000 Cases at Hand.
Asserting an estimated $4,000 cases
are already before the tax appeal board,
Representative Treadway (Repubncan
Of Massachusetts,, questioned the ad-
visibility of putting 10000 more cases
Morris said he did not propose trans
ferring that entire number.
Explaining that he was limited to
presentation of recommends ciors passed
on by the association, Morris said he
could touch upon but two Of the pro-
posals before the committee He in
dorsed the subcommittee proposal to
differentiate between earned income and
that derived from capital and the
recommendation that tax measures not
be retroactive.
Other recommendations Of the Bar
Association included;
To make 100 per cent deductable con-
tributions to charitable organizations
dispensing necessities of life up to Is
per cent Of the taxpayers net income.
Redehnition of capital gain" and
capital loss" to include redemption of
capital assets at maturity.

promotion of relief from international
double taxation.
Administration Opposition Seen.
A disposition to override opposition of
the administration and force their own
S270,000,0 900 revenue bill through the
House at the January session was mean
while manifest among members of the
House Ways and Means Committee.
The provisions drawn by the COM
mlttee would tighten the administrative
provisions of the income tax laws to
prevent avoidance of taxes. In the face
Of protests by scores of witnesses. the
committee is preparing to end its hear
irgs on the general revenue measure
and turn its attention on Friday to
formulation of the new liquor ta@ bill
At the hearings before the committee
yesterday Treasury officials said they
believed the committees estimate Of an
additional $270000,000 to be gained
through revisions proposed in its bill
was too high and that notifications
proposed by the Treasury Department
would cut this figure to Sl00, 1000, 900.

bowel trouble

Constipation may very easily become
chronic after forty. And any continued
constipation at that time of life may
bring attacks of piles and host OF
other unpleasant disorders.
Watch your bowels at any age.
Guard them with particular care after
forty. Whenever they need any help,
remember doctor should know what
is best for them.
''Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin"
is a Doctors prescription for the bowels.
Tested by az years practice, it has
been found thoroughly effective in
relieving constipation and its ills for
men, women and children of all ag>s.
1t has proven perfectly safe even for
babies. Made from fresh laxative
herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless
ingredients, it cannot grippe; will not
sicken you or weaken you; can be used
without harm as often as your breath
is bad, or when your tongue is coated;
whenever a headachy, bilious, gassy
condition warns of constipation.

Two questions enter most peoples
minds at the approach of thunder.
storm. One is how fast the storm
is approaching The other is the dis
tance ava of the lightning flashes
1t is easy to estimate the distance
from the observer at which a flash
of lightning has taken place by
counting the seconds which elapSe
between the sight of the flash and
the sound of the accompanying thun.
der.
Light travels with a speed of 1885,.
600 mil, second. A beam df light
could encircle the earth's equator
seven times in less than a second
For all practical purposes, therefore
the observer may assume that he
sees the lightning flash at practically
the second 1t occurs.
Sound, on the other hand, travels
much more slowly than does light
The speed of sound is measured in
feet rather than in miles. It's speed
Is about 1.066 feet per second.
This means, therefore. that if yor
hear the thunder one second after
you see the flash, the flash took
place 1,O66 feet away. Since tho
method is fairly crude, it may be
assumed for the sake of simplicit!
that every second elapsed denotes
/ 900 feet. Therefore, If you count
three seconds between fash and
thunder. the flash was 5000 feet away.
Estimating the distance away of
the lightning flashes will help one to
estimate how fast the storm is ap.
preaching. Obviously. as the storm
draws nearer, the elapsed time be
tween flashes and thunder will grow
shorter and shorter.
Occasionally thunder may be heard
when the storm is ten miles away
In that case the lapse of time be-
tween the flash and the sound would
be fifty seconds.
When a thunderstorm is observed
In the distance, the first thing to dc
is to ascertain its course. If the
storm Is retreating, the clouds will
appear TO dwindle in size.
If the storm is moving at right
angles to the observer. the motion
of the clouds will be visible.
If the storm is approaching, the
clouds will appear to be growing
larger and larger.
Thunderstorms travel with an av.
erage speed of twenty-five miles an
hour. 1t is possible, however, to
time storm fairly well by the
method described.
Let us suppose that you note the
time between flash and thunder and
that 1t Is forty seconds. That means
the storm is eight miles away.
Five minutes later, let us say, the
time between flash and thunder is
thirty seconds. The storm is now
six miles away. In other words, the
torn has travelled two miles in five
minutes.
Since the storm is then six miles
from where you are, you have eX
actly fifteen minutes in which to seek
shelter before the storm breaks.
