SQUIRRELS -. westward no
The gray squirrels are migrating
again from New England. Nobody
has yet found out the real reason
why so many thousands, perhaps
millions, of these little animals go
westward in the early Winter.
They have lately been crossing the
Hudson River over the bridges, on
the ferry boats and some of them
even swimming across
The latest theory is that they are
driven out of their old homes by
the smaller but more pugnacious
red squirrels. Farmers and hunt
ers have been encouraged to kill
hawks, because hawks kill game
but hawks also are fond of
baby red squirrels, and a possible
explanation is hat the red squirrels
have multiplied, as the hawks have
diminished in number, and there
oom in the woods for both
the red and the gray squirrels.
1t is just one of those interesting
phenomena illustrating the constant
of nature TO maintain the
balance between all the various
of life.

a social gathering the other night
if they knew how much they paid
in taxes to the Federal Government
on each package Of cigarettes. No
body knew the answer. The reve-
nue. stamp on the cigarette pack
simply says 40 cigarettes and
does not disclose the fact that
manufacturers pays six cents for
each stamp and adds it to the price
of the cigarettes.
I think it would be a very useful
law, if Congress could be induced
to enact it, to require that every
tax stamp tells the buyer of the
taxed article just how much tax he
is paying. We will never get real
economy in Government until the
IMAM in the street" realizes that he,
too, is paying a share of the cost
of the Government.
QUALITY 80. pays
One of the wealthiest men l know
is Herbert L. ~satterlee, brother-in-
law Of J. P. Morgan. Mr.. Satter-
lee is still using an automobile
which was built for him in 1915.
The ~2o-year-old car has gone over
3O0,o0o,000 miles and is capable
of 80 miles an hour in a pinch. MI.
Satterlee tried one of two high
priced modern cars and discarded
them because they were not as
comfortable to ride in as the old
maxine that he sticks to.
Wealthy people can afford to be
Questionable. They can also af-
ford to buy the highest quality Of
goods in the first place. I know
one millionaire who has worn the
same overcoat for 20 winters, but
he payed $500 for it when it was
new. | have spent more than that
for a succession of overcats in the
same period. In the long run, it
always pays to buy the highest
quality of any commodity, if you
can afford to tie up enough of your
capital in the initial purchase.
FINGERPRINTS accurate
One of the reasons why there is
a popular prejudice against being
finger-printed was disclosed the
other day wien the Bureau OF
Criminal Investigation, in Washing
ton, reported that several hundred
former criminals had been detect
ed by a comparison Of the finger
prints, taken when they applied for
jobs, with the %fingerprint records
Of convicted criminals on file in
Washington. Many business con-
Germs and some municipalities and
states now require a fingerprint
record of every applicant for a
job, and send these records down to
the Department of Justice.
1 have long believed that the time
would come when everybody's
fingerprints would be recorded in
infancy as a matter of course and
kept available for Identification a,
any time in later life. There is nc
good reason why this should not be
done.

ants, famous pilferers, dare not try to
scale the ladder where pollen and
nectar are flowing. Ants, as you know,
are clad in shining armor, and not a
bit Of dust do they permit to remain
on their antenna or legs. Besides, they
have a sort of demijohn stomach to
hold the nectar, and when they visit

home, and the store house or nursery.
Other plants are not as abreast of the
times as the milkweeds.
When the vast army of guests,

SAFETY CAMPAIGN
LAUNCHED BY OHIO
1000 Deaths Last Year and
Big Toll in 1885 Spur
Responsibility Law.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. November "a
More than 1000 trafiic deaths in
1894 and nearly as many this year
started Ohio today on double
Darreled campaign to reduce the toll.
An official predicted the drive would
be the most intensive in the country.
A bill to require licenses for all
motor vehicle operators, passed by
both chambers of the Legislature,
awaited only House concurrence In
minor amendments added by the
Senate. Gov. Martin L. Davey has
promised his signature.
The bill would reinforce a motor
ISIS responsibility law. which requires
motorists who have failed to pay
judgments in accidents to post bond
or insurance to guarantee payment
of possible judgments in future acct
dents. This law also calls for revoca-
ton of driving privileges upon convic-
ton Of certain offenseS, such as
drunken driving.
If finally approved, the license bill
would be effective next October !.
Saving in Lives Predicted.
Arthur w. Raymond, manager of
the Columbus Automobile Club, de-
clared that such law would have
saved 223 lives in Ohio last year.
He predicted it would save between
$50 and 800 lives annually after 1t
became effective.
States without license laws had
10 per cent increase in fatal accidents
last year." he said. States with them
had a 9 per cent increase. With the
law we would have saved that 10 per
cent, or 223 lives.
when the drivers license bill be-
comes effective, Ohio will be conduct
ing the most intensive campaign in
the United States against the traffic
slaughter"
No Reciprocal Provisions.
The bill carries no reciprocal pro-
visions for drivers with licenses from
other States. Foreign drivers would
be required to take out an Ohio IL
cense after 80 days.
The bill calls for a Accent license
fee. Deputy registrars would have au-
thority to determine whether licenses
should be issued. They could require
examinations, although the bill says a
years experience in driving would be
sufficient evidence of driving ability.
