It is not necessary to 60 to
the beach to have a bang-up
outing. For a tenth of the
cost you can have a day at
the beach without stepping foot
out of the house. All you need
is a bathroom, some bathing
suits, plenty Of flies, a fish
and two young men. The
young men should be fresh.
The necessary sand can be
procured by de-sanding the
baby's spinach. Two bales Of
spinach will yield sand for a
home beach party of seven. It
should not be difficult to get
the flies. They are very plen-
tiful this year, as a great
many impoverished European
flies have come over here to
exc out a precarious existence.
You simply must not forget
the fresh young men. Their
function is to play catch on
the beach" and hit every
body with the ball.
On the morning of the party
mother gets up at 4 o'clock to
get the "beach" ready. She
fills the bathtub with water
adding plenty of salt. Then
she arranges the sand around
the bathroom. A little sea-
weed tastefully disposed about
the place and a few empty gin
bottles and orange rinds and
YOU have a beach fit for the
queens taste.
We can even have the trip to
the shore without leaving the
house, by locking mother and
dad, the three youngsters,
Cousin Sue and her two young
ones. little Elias school chum,
May, and the two fresh young
men in a clothes closet. Then
let them mill around for five
minutes and they will emerge
looking just as exhausted and
battered as if they had actu-
ally made the bus trip to the
beach.
All now pile merrily into the
bathroom, and Pa let's the flies
loose. One Of the fresh young
men drops a fish down Elias
back, and she has Mysteries.

Checking up on tax def

ties to members of the same
families or close business aSSo-
ciates, the Treasury decided it
was not being paid all that was
due and has collected $4,000, 900
since July, 1888.
Requiring all brokers to file
records of sales, the Income
Tax Unit, last July, asked for re-
ports on trading records Of in.
dividualS in 1929, 1880, 1881 and
1892, and from first returns Off
cials believe that more than $751;
100000 will be paid into the
Treasury as the result Of the in
veStigatiOn.
When it issued orders for re.
ports of trading activities, the
income tax unit was acting un-
der Section IA Of the revenue
act of 1882.
The strange thing is that sec
tion 149 of the 1882 revenue act
is identical with section $50 Of
the act of 1928.
The recent investigation is
the result of activity in a Dem
ocratic administration.
Republican officials, however,
were empowered to make a SIM
liar investigation under the 1928
revenue act but failed to go into
the matter Of the reporting Of
alleged losses.
In the time when the Repub-
1ican Treasury failed to proceed,
there was the market crash Of
1929 and the next year thou
sands of tax returns bore state
ments concerning losses.
The Income Tax Unit believes
that there were many erroneous,
If not fraudulent, statements
made concerning these losses
and that if the investigation had
been made at that time it might
have resulted in additional rev.
enues for the Government.
There is a reason why the
Republican administration might
be hesitant to act in connection
with these erroneous returns.
Most big m oney is Repub-
lican and if they checked too
closely on returns they might
have tread on Republican toes.
Democrats, on the other hand,
also know that most big money
is Republican and they have
less to fear from members Of
the party by making the in
VeStigation.
Two big events are scheduled
Cor Montana this summer.
The President will visit Fort
Peck, proposed dam site, on his
cross-country trip home from
Hawaii, which will probably be
one of the greatest occasions.
And then there are elections.
Montana's two Senators are
to be voted on this month.
Senator Burton X. Wheeler is
running for reelection and prob
ably will win hands down so
that next session he will be back

effect on his personal fortunes,
and keeps in close touch with
the surge of events in Berlin.
Always in his mind is the effect
that these events will have on
the fortunes Of what he believes
is the heaven-ordained House OF
Hohenzollern.
The latest word is that he is
eager to return to Germany, as
the Emperor. Recent visitors to
his tranquil refuge in Holland,
who have sent him with his
dachshunds, his busy saw, and
conducting Sunday services
from his household, find him
clinging still to a hope which he
expresses in these words: 1T
may please God to call me
back"
The case Of the Hapsburgs is
different and less hopeful. The
one-time empire of Franz Jo-
seph, ripped apart by the treaty
makers of Versailles, is given
over to such dissenSion and tur-
moil as makes any prediction Of
the future like seeing through a
dark glass.
In CONSTRUCTED and crippled
Austria, little Chancellor Engel-
bert Dollfuss clings to power,
suspended perilously between
the Socialists and the Nazis,
with Hitler froWning ominouSly
just over the border. In Hun
gary, sadly reduced in territory
and resources by the terms of
the Peace Of Versailles, Admiral
Horthy holds on as regent.
Otto s Dream
The heir, of course, is young,
handsome, glamorous Archduke
Otto, just past his twenty.first
birtl' ny, inceSsantly drive
alon. the road Of ambition by
his fierySpirited mother, the ex-
Empress Zita Of Bourbon-Parma.
Young Otto dreams of the day
when the national pride of his
countrymen will call him back
to the throne and when he can
stand as the symbol of Austrian
or Hungarian hopes Of regain
ing their one-time exalted place
in the family Of nations. But q
chill was cast over his dreams
just the other day when the
French premier, Barthou, feted
and toasted and decorated and
greeted with wild acclaim by
the people whom Hungary de.
tests as spoilers Of their terri
tory, promised the Rumanians
that France will resist to the
utmost any efforts to change
the status quo.
Nevertheless, there are many
European statesmen who recall
the laconic utterance Of Prince
Metternich, that if Austria did
not exist it would be necessary
to create an Austria for the
peace Of Europe.

That the Republicans intend to
capitalize on the fact that Upton
Sinclair, former Socialist leader
in California, won the Democratic
nomination for governor Of that
State over a regular Democrat
was shown in a statement issued
today by Senator Daniel o. Hast
ings (R) of Delaware, chairman
Of the Republican senatorial com.
mittee. He said:
"The New Deal victory in
the California primaries has
elements Of public interest quite
aside from the fact that 1t as
sureS the Republican party Of
great gains in the November
elections.
"A Socialist running on q So
cialiSt platform and heartily
indOrsing the New Deal defeated
a Democrat for the Democratic
gubernatOrial nomination, al
though the Democrat also was
an ardent supporter Of New
Deal policies.
"Many prominent Democrats
have had difficulty recognizing
their old political faith since 1t
has been transmitted by the
sweet alchemy Of the New Deal.
Perhaps the nomination Of Mr..
Upton Sinclair under the Demo
cratic standard will help them to
resolve their doubts. It shows
where the Democratic party is
being led. I don't believe con-
sentative Democrats will follow

.MUN|T|ON PLOT
To Be CHARGED
BY International News Service

By International News Service
An attempt to prove interna-
tional price-fixing in munitions
traffic will be made before the
special Senate munitions investi-
eating committee, it was learned
today.
The committee is to begin public
hearings September 4, with Sen
ator Nye (R.) of North Dakota,
as chairman.
Evidence to be weighed by the
committee will be presented de-
signed to show that international
cooperation among munitions
makers dates from World War
days.
During the World War mum
lions makers in allied countries
cooperated at the request OF
allied governments. Contacts eS-
tablished at that time have con.
tinued and have influenced the
international traffic, it will be
charged before the committee.
Attempts will be made to show
that "gentlemen's agreements
have been entered by which
munitions makers of one country
would supply one combatant and
another munitions maker would
supply the other.
A vigorous defense Of the mum
tions traffic is expected from
American manufacturers.
