HENRY j. HUNT, Srd.
Mr.. Charles E. King, Commissioner,
Grove,
Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Dear SIR
May I call your attention to the
following facts due to which many
hundreds and even thousands of dol
lars have been lost to Montgomery
County, by reason of the failure of
the proceeding Board of County Com
missioners to order collection of taxes
on automobiles that were physically
present in this county on the first day
of July and therefore taxable for the
ensuing fiscal year.
Between July first and the time the
auto tax bills are sent out to meet the
incoming tag and registration cards
from the State Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles in Baltimore, hundreds
of County cars are traded in or sold
during said interim both in and out of
Montgomery County, many of which
go into the adjacent areas Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the counties OF
Howard, and even into the states of
Virginia and West Virginia.
In accordance with long established
custom purchasers of new or second
hand automobiles after July first of
each year have been exempted from
paying taxes until the following year
but the former owner of machine, if
Montgomery County resident and il
said machine was physically present
in said County on July first and wher
the annual June Levy was made, is
most certainly responsible to the
County for the taxes levied thereon
and is collectable. Although it is my
opinion that the proceeding Board O.
County Commissioners were wei
aware of this they utterly failed il
making such collections thus losing t.
the County thousands of dollars tina
the County would otherwise have had
You will be surprised when inform
you that by the enforcement Of thi
collection this year since July frs
by my billing each of these traded il
and out cars to their former owners il
the County, the sum total for the in
term is upward of 100000 in taxes
collected this year which would have
been lost under the old system and the
date of receiving tag cards from Bal
timore and sending out our own bills
has still considerable time to go
In other words the saving caused by
this heretofore unsolicited item is
nearly double what my salary amount

SAVIOR of dishonesty
The horse tracks and horse parlors. though many
miles apart, have been drawn together in the pres
ent phase of the twin rackets The parlors viz
tually chain-store system and some of the tracks
are controlled by the trust that owns the parlors
Under this system the chain of parlors is able to
control the prices which are paid to the client gam
blers who sit taking their and their chances far
from the scene of the races, saving the expense or
transportation and tickets to the track
OF course the profit is incalculabe, even with
the parlors operating less furtively: but with
open rooms in Chicago, the trust would have
monopoly under legal sanction. The toll which would
be taken then defieS the imagination Most of this
profit would go to a small group of well-knovn
racketeers who have been consolidating their trust
by shrewd methods and the effective devices of
bribery sabotage and physical intimidation during
the development of the horse park boom. Independ-

Few of the greatest fortunes in
American history have, at the
death of their possessors, been
directed toward improving the lot
of the poorer man.
John Jacob Aston, the first
American able to write a check"
for S20.0O0,O00, was not known for
philanthropy before his death or
afterward. He left his accumula-
ton to his son, William B., who in
turn managed to leave his two
sons about 100 millions.
In contrast to the deluge Of
f1owery encomiun1s that marked
John Jacob Astor's obituaries was
the comment of James Gordon
Bennett of the New York Herald.
IF we had been an associate of
John Jacob Aston" he wrote, "the
first idea that we should have put
into his head would have been
that one-half of his immense
property-10 millions at leaSt-be-
longed to the people of the City
of New York. During the last so
years of the life of John Jacob
Aston, his property has been aug
mented and increased in value by
the aggregate intelligence, indus

New York, fully to the amount OF
one half its value.

for his wife and daughters, each
one nominally worth three mil

Morgan's death, and short time
later their value had increased to

magnates, picked up $100000,000
before he died. The public was

TINE number of dwarf white stars, the strange5t
L stars in the heavens, has been doubled by recent
discoveries made oy California astronomers. Until
this year. only four of them were known, but now
the number has been brought up to eight.
These are the stars composed of such heavy ma
teral that spoonful would weigh ton. How mat
ter could obtain such density mystery until
Sir Arthur Eddington advanced his theory that they
consisted of stripped" atoms. that is atoms from
which the outer electrons had been torn.
Since practically all the mass of an atom is IN It's
nucleus and since the nucleus is vastly smaller than
the shells occupied by the outer electrons. stripped
atoms could be packed closely enough to give the
density Of these stars.
The first white dwarf identified as such was the
companion star of Sirius. the dog-star. The tee-
scope reveals Sirius as double star and extensive
observations and calculations have indicated that
this companion has the characteristics of white
dwarf.
THE second white dwarf is the companion of
4 fourth magnitude star known in the star csta-
logues as Omicron Eridani. The next two we're
named after their discoveries and so are known
as Van Maanen's star and Osterhout's star.
A search made this year by Kuiper of the Lick
Observatory disclosed the existence of three more
white dwarfs while still more recently one was
turned up by Adams and Humason Of the Mt Wilson
Observatory thus bringing the total to eight
Dr.. Henry Norris Russell, Americas chief author
ity upon stellar evolution, calls these white dwarf5
the last stage of senility' in the life history Of
star.
Writing in the Scientific American he points
out that the life history of star represents con-
f1ict between two forces These are the energy
generating forces in the interior of the star which
tend to expand or even explode the star and the
gravitational pull Of the stars own stuff which
tends to collapse the star
GIVEN time enough, he says, the energy producing
~ forces must finally begin to give out and so the
force of gravity must eventually get the upper hand
causing the star to begin to collapse
