BACK TAX HARVEST
$116,914,734 IN U. S.
Years Receipts More Than
Enough to Offset Cost of
Internal Revenue.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury's campaign against
delinquent taxpayers Is reported by
officials to be yielding harvest more
than SUFFICIENT to pay for q years
enforcement of the internal revenue
laws.
From the first of January to the
end of August, back tax collections
totaled $116,914,734, compared with
$S7, ,714,0 IN the same period of last
year, and $124,800,000 for all of 1888.
The increase of approximately $29,-
600, 900 for the eight months, Treas
ury officials said, would come within
a million dollars of paying years
cost Of all income tax collections.
BY December 80, they said, such re-
ceipts would be far above the years
administrative bill.

GAS PRICE SLASH
Larger Companies Move Is
Protested to Ickes-Price
Today 1876 Cents.

Independent gasoline dealers, who
two months ago launched price war
Of their own against the major COM
panies, complained to Secretary Ickes
today that recent reductions by the
larger distributors is q deliberate blow
at retailers of unbranded gas.
Under the leadership of Standard
Oil, the major brands today offered
gasoline at 1917 and 1914 cents. The
so-called independents are selling for
13 cents, which. they claim, allows
them IA cents per gallon profit after
deducting the gasoline tax.
Excess Stock Claimed.
The larger companies, however, con-
tend the recent reductions. amounting
to 21a cents within the last two weeks,
have been forced by an oversupply
reaching the Atlantic Coast States
from the East Texas oil fields. No
effort whatever, it is claimed, has
been made to force the price down, but
the law of supply and demand has
been thrust upon them.
The smaller dealers, on the other
hand, say the lower quotations are
preventing them from getting better
wholesale price since it is effectively
keeping the oversupply out Of this
territory.
Scott Quits Board.
Meanwhile, G. w. Bowyer, secretary
of the District of Columbia Petroleum
Committee, code authority here, an
nounced the resignation of L. s. Scott
as chairman and the election of r.
G. Livingston to act as chairman until
Secretary Ickes appoints a permanent
head
Scott has served as chairman since
its organization and was a leader
among Washington dealers in drafting
the code of fair competition. He will
remain as a member of the COM
mittee, but pleaded pressure of pri-
vate business as his reason for giving
up the Craftsmanship.
The committee has taken no action
whatever in the present price situa-
ton.

0NSL0T MACHINES
Police Issue Orders for Their
Removal on Garnett's
Instructions.

Orders to remove all "claw" slot
machines from stores and other bust
ness establishments before April Is
were issued today by police officials
acting on instructions from United
States Attorney Leslie C. Garrett.
Immediately on receipt of an order
from police headquarters, captains of
all precincts ordered their men to
spread the word along their respec-
tive beats" that the machines will
not be tolerated more than IL days
longer
Announcement that the machines
would be banned was made yesterday
by Garrett, who said:
In my opinion, they are not tests
of skill, but outright gambling de-
vices"
Installation of the machines was
permitted only tentatively, it was ex-
planned. Since their installation, sew
eral weeks ago, however, hundreds Of
them have been placed in operation
in stores, restaurants and other bust
ness establishments.
In many of the machines, it was
charged, the prizes" are buried so
deeply that it is impossible to pull
them out, even when the CLAW" gets
good grip on them.
Complaints against operation of the
machines in neighborhoods in which
schools are located have been made
to police by officers or members of
several citizens associations.

Betty went out egg rolling with

branch of the National Park Service
found her wandering about, tearfully.
and took her to the headquarters of
the United States Park Police in the

There she continued to weep. The
blue coats and shiny buttons of the
Federal officers failed to interest her
and in reply to the question, do you

The Park Police took the gentle
hint. Officer M. H. Raspberry and his
associates took some change from
their pockets and placed it in Betty's
hands The tears dried Immediately
Soon some of Betty's family came and
took her away-and everybody was
happy.

Hugh J. Frawley of 1921 Twenty
second street was robbed of $35 early
today by two young bandits in an au-
tomobile, who crowded his machine to
a halt at Twenty-eighth and Otis
streets northeast, Frawley reported to
police.
Frawley said the pair drove away
after forcing him to hand over his
money. The bandits had covered the
license plate of their automobile with
paper.
Two colored men produced pistols
and forced Adolphus M. Monroe of
GAS Orleans place northeast from his
taxicab at Adams Mill road and Har-
ward street last night. The men,
whom Monroe had taken into his cab
at Seventh and S streets, drove away
in the machine.
The taxicab was later found aban-
doned by police in the third pre-
cinct. Monroe said the bandits made
no demand for money.

which indicate that this enormous
aggregation of stars is at least two
thirds as big as the Milky Way galaxy
itself.
A million-odd light years awav,
this is about the nearest of the extra
galactlc systems and was the first one
definitely recognized as such about
a decade ago. But its diameter was
calculated at only about 100000 .0O0.-
600, 100000 miles-a third that of the
galaxy which includes the solar svs-

respect to their own star system, the
astronomers have been on the inside.

while with respect to the Andromeda
nebula they have been on the out
Side-an enormous distance away
looking in.
Through three Summers Stebbins
and Whitford made delicate photo
electric measurements of the radia-
ton of the edges of the Andromeda
nebula and compared these with the
radiation of comparative areas of the
Milky Way galaxy, with allowances
made for distance. From this comes
the deduction that approximately the

this nebula as for our own galaxy,

spasmodic sleeping throughout the
day and night.
This is finding of the Polish
physiologist Szymanski, who deduces
that monophaslc sleep is in some way
associated with highly developed
cerebral cortex, while the polyphasic
kind is a phenomenon of the lower
brain centers. This is supported by
experiments at the University of Chi
cago. Decorticated dogs-or dogs
with the higher levels of their brains
peeled off-had several periods of
sleep alternating with activity every
"a hours. The activity consisted in
walking around in circles.
This, 1t is pointed out, explains the
sleep curve of a newborn baby whose
higher brain centers have not been
wired up" to the rest of the nervous
system and which consequently acts
like a decorticated animal Brains
are needed to acquire the habit of
sleeping at night.
Polyphasic sleep is the underlying
condition Of nature upon which the
monophasic kind has been built up as
a Superstructure. Men and dogs are
in constant danger of slipping down
INTO the lower variety, especially after
dinner.
