A DAYLIGHT Meteor.

Whereas single meteor flashing
across the sky at night. when it is
brilliantly visible, arouSes no particu-
lar attention, for it is common
phenomenon, similar occurrence in
the daytime causes considerable ex-
citement. Yet doubtless meteors are
streaking through the heavens at all
hours and as many traverse the
earth's atmosphere while the sun is
shining as in the hours of darkness.
Such an incident has just been re-
ported, an unusually brilliant meteor
being observed at various points in
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas. 1t
was so bright and seemingly so near
rs to create the impression that an
airplane was aflame in the skies.
Some observers described it as leav-
ing behind a plume of black smoke
which turned to light gray. 1t was
also noted by some who saw it that
its flight was accompanied by roar
~like distant guns"
There is really nothing extraor-
dinary about a daylight meteor, ex-
cept that it must be unusually large
and close to the surface of the earth
to demonstrate itself against the sun
illuminated atmosphere. These "celes-
tial visitors" as they have been called

Why the Supply of Habit-Forming

To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
There has been a great deal OF
news lately about the roundup OF
drug peddlers and drug addicts all
over the country-cloSe to thousand
This Of course is but a drop in the
bucket compared to the numbers still
at large and actively at work all over
the United States. 1t is with con-
siderable horror and amazement that
we get an inkling of the extent and
ramifications of this underground
traffic. Nothing has been said, how
ever, as to why this traffic hourishes
nor where the immense supplies of
drugs come from and why the supply
is steady and unceasing.
Drugs and opium come from out
side this country-smuggled in at
every port. on every frontier. The
amount is huge and inexhaustible We
may raid and round up 1000 peddlers
but there are other thousands to
take their places, each one willing
to take a chance of selling opium
and drugs to American citizens. We
don't like this. We think that drug
addiction is harmful, that it destroys
etc. Which it certainly does.
But what can you expect when some
OF the foremost and most powerful
countries in the world are directly
engaged in the traffic themselves?
Not as individuals, but as countries
whose governments directly encourage
and foster addiction? Great Britain
for example, has nine colonies OF
possessions In the Far East where
opium smoking is permitted by law
where the trade is an established
monopoly of the colonial government;

The great mayonnaise- se-sauce remou-
lade controversy between the chefs of
France and the French Academy,
which has rocked the gaStronomic So
ciety of the Continent to its founda-
tions, has apparently been won by
the saucepan chivalry. Kitchen over
lords of the Gordon bleu order were
panied and outraged when the most
recent official French dictionary de-
fined sauce remoulade as a kind of
mayonnaise. Their shouts of anguish
reSounded on all sides; manifeStoeS
were issued; petitions signed; members
of the academy hesitated to look
waiter captains in the eye and con-
fined their orders to dishes requiring
simple hollandaise, and at last the
new dictionary has repaired its error
by somewhat vaguely defining remou-
lade as "a kind of piquant sauce made
with oil, mustard, herbs and various
condiments" which comes pretty close
to being mayonnaise after all. Whether
or not this sort of stew-pot precioSity
is necessary adjunct to gastronomic
leadership is matter of doubt. Prob
ably a certain amount Of poetry and
euphemism is best in matters Of the
table, just as it is obvious that an
order of filet mignon, sauce Mirabeau,

reading: Dead cows back muscle with
brown gravy. But it can be carried
to extremes, and to a certain extent it
might be admitted that distrust Of
foreign chi-chi is responsible for the
outright barbarism of American food
in outland places. Good cooking and
fine table fare are no more dependent
upon ritual and the findings OF the
academy than the pleasure Of wine
drinking is upon the fraudulent and

Overlapping Taxes.

From the New York Times.
President Roosevelt has directed
the Treasury to cooperate with State
and municipal authorities in recon-
mending measures to eliminate over
tapping taxes Levies of this sort
are rapidly increasing The income
tax is no longer source of revenue
enjoyed almost exclusively by the
Federal Government Twenty-nine
States now tax the income either of
corporations or of individuals, and
Is levy tax on both. The Federal
Government, in turn. has invaded a
field formerly regarded as exclusively
the property of the States by i'm
posing a tax on gasoline. A con-
siderable number of States have
countered with a tax on tobacco,
which the Federal Government first
began to tax many years ago. Sales
taxes and liquor taxes, estate taxes
and inheritance taxes are saddied on
the public by two and occasionally
even by three competing agencies.
Use of the same tax base by two
or more public authorities is perhaps
not in itself an evil. But in practice
several grave risks inevitably appear.
One is the danger of an inequitable
distribution of the total tax load. Tax
bases which are highly productive
and therefore employed by several
governments are frequently burdened
unfairly, by comparison with other
and less popular bases. Again, there
is an obvious risk-when Nation,
State and perhaps city also are all
imposing the same tax simultaneously
and Observation-Disclosures the point
of diminishing return will be reached
sooner than they expect, with a con-
sequent loss to all OF them.
1t Is doubtless because of these and
other similar dangers that the Presi-
dent has proposed study of remedial
measures. Secretary Morgenthau
states the problem concisely when he
says that the question is, who can
collect the various taxes most eco
nomically and how should they be
distributed" He will find that some
spade-work has been done in this
important field of investigation, par
ticularly by the Interstate Commission
on Conflicting Taxes which met last
year on the initiative of the Ameri-
can Legislators Association. It sug-
gested a program and a method of
action which will doubtless receive
the attention of those who undertake
the present study. .

If a fish does not do nicely in one
home aquarium, he ought to be tried
in another.
This is ono of the advantages Of
having more than one tank.
The fancier with many tanks has
different places to try out different
fishes. He is not tied down to one
community aquarium, where, if an in
dividual animal does not thrive, II
nevertheless must remain.
There are disadvantages to the pos
session Of multiple tanks, especially
If they must be distributed around
the living quarters.
This is a very common situation
Of course, with amateur fish fanciers
The owner Degins sedately enough

several varieties of fishes he thinks
he would like to try.
Where to put them?
There is nothing to do, then, ex-
cept set up another aquarium.
X X II X
Before the fancier realizes what he
is doing, his finny obsession has
grown upon him to the extent that
he has several tanks, one in each
window in the living room and dining
room, perhaps.
He may even go to the extent oi
trying few upstairs, but invariably
he takes them downstairs, unless he
proceeds 10 turn over some sunny
second floor room to the use of fishes
This establishment of a fish room
or aquarium, in the large sense, has
much to recommend it. 1t concen-
trates the tanks, makes their care
easier, and keeps the living quarters
free of the clutter of them.
1t will be admitted, even by the
most ardent fancier, that a multi
plicity of tanks in the downstairs
scarcely helps interior decoration.
One tank is excellent. and has q
real place in the decorative treatment
Of the modern home.
A dozen tanks, on the other hand
give that "all cluttered up" look
which has been the despair of artistic
housekeepers for long time.
With the growth of the modern art
of interior decoration there has arisen
demand for a balanced treatment
of objects, especially ornamental fur
nishings.
This is scarcely a possibility with
fish tanks Three or more of them
even Of comparatively small size, lined

a balance, but they are such striking
objects in themselves that they ough,
