Watch Your Tax Bill.

Have ytA forgotten to pay your real
estate taxes or postponed the payment
until q more convenient time? II so,
you are fair game for q determined group
OF gentlemen who may be found these
days at the District Building, thumbing
over the records in the tax arrears Office
Of the tax collector. This Is open season
on tax delinquentS. The professional
buyers of such property will purchase
your real estate for the amount of ur:-
paid taxes, plus penalties, and hold 1t
at the legal rate of twelve per cent inter-
est until you redeem it. If there are no
purchasers, the District will take over
the property and hold 1t until you meet
the tax, plus penalties of eight per cent
Last year some 10000 parcels of local
real estate were thus purchased, 44O0
of them by forty-eight individuals.
You may have been one of those whose
property was sold without your knowl-
edge. The tax bill may have escaped
your notice, or 1t may have failed to
note that some taxes were in arrears.
To make a complete check of your
at the District Building requires

in which such records are kept. Some

times the property owner finds that he
is a tax delinquent although he was
never notified of the tax assessment in
which he is delinquent.
The tax records at the District
Building and the methods of tax COL
lecting are far behind the times. This
may not be the fault of any one person
at the District Building. 1t is condition
that has developed through the years
and it should be remedied by the in
Stallation of modern methods. The tax
payers bill should note all payments
due the District and the taxpayer should
be sure that his address Is available at
the District to facilitate this notitica-
ton. The Commissioners special COM
mittee on tax delinquency, through its
subcommittee on procedure, Rufus
LuSk, chairman, has prepared list Of
recommendations on improving tax COL
lecting methods by the District that if
adopted would facilitate tax collection
and give the taxpayer new deal in
prompt receipt of his bills and notifica-
ton of delinquency. The recommenda-
tions should receive the sympathetic
study of Congress next Winter.

shown by the sunSpot minima years
which are recorded as follows: 1910, 1919,
1884, 1645, 1855. 1866, 1879, 1859, 17l2,
1923. l734, 1745, 1855, 1865, ITS, 1884,
1898, 1910, 1923. 1888, 1843, 1856. 1867.
1878, 1889, 1901. 1918, 1928 and 1884. They
have been associated with peace and
prosperity.
1t will be noted that the intervals be-
tween maxima and minima vary be-
tween four and seven years. This appears
not to be entirely arbitrary, for general
rule has been found that the more in
tense the sunspot maximum the shorter
the time required for 1t to develop from
the preceding minimum and the longer
the time it takes to recede to minimum
once more Astronomers cannot actually
predict the years of sunspot maxima and
minima. They can say with considerable
assurance, however, that there will be
one of both in an 11-year interval. There
may be some significance in the fact that
the time from minimum to maximum is
considerably less than that from maxi
mum to minimum. The average for in
creasing SpottedneSS Is 4.62 years; for de-
creasing, 65l.
There is one other SllnSpot cycle, ac-
cording to recent statement from the
Smithsonian Institution. which during
the past few years has assumed consid-
cradle significance, since there seems to
be a direct relationship between it and
the earth's weather. This is the Hale
double sunspot, or magnetic, cycle. Sun
spots often go in pairs The magnetic
polaritieS of a pair are always opposed
Furthermore, If the eastern member of
a pair in the suns Northern Hemisphere
is of north-seeking polarity, the same
condition will be found in all other pairs
north of the suns equator and the exact
opposite in all pairs south of the suns
equator. In the next sunspot maximu
these relations will be found reversed.
Thus there is a complete magnetic
cycle of approximately % years, or
double the sunspot cycle Four years
ago DR.. Charles G. Abbot secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution, presented a
large amount of data which indicates
that weather the world over tends to
repeat itself for any particular area each
23 years.

that in some lines of industry the re-
vival in demand has even produced a
shortage of skilled workers. But for
the unskilled, especially those of forty
and over, a bleak prospect, indeed, lies
ahead. For them every year of additional
unemployment means that a new army
of youth, with the strength and the will
ingness and the ability to learn that
are the attributes of youth, has come
marching gayly along to demand its
rights. The older men are pushed
farther away from the door.
Long continued unemployment of un-
skilled workers likewise leads eventually
to unemployability-a this MEANS"
the President says, "a permanent prob
lem of support. And the burden of
support is carried ultimately in large
measure by industry itself"
The most distressing part of the un-
employment problem now is the problem
of unemployability-t thousands of
men whose lack Of skill or advancing
age renders them unfit for employ
ment. One of the aims of government,
industry and labor should be to prevent
the repetition of the tragedy of the
present decade, as far as it can be pre-
vented, by offering young men the oppor-
tunity to learn trades and master the
art of doing something well. At forty
the skilled worker is richer by expert
ence, but the unskilled man is poorer
for the years that have taught him
nothing.

Old Whitley was back.
After a month given over to exploring
Rock Greek Park, this white-tailed Eng
lish sparrow returned to his favorite
feeding place.
There was no mistaking him; his half
albino wings and tail made him one
sparrow in million.
Probably there is no other bird like
him at all anywhere.
In his flights in nearby Maryland, and
over the line into suburban Washington,
no doubt he has been mistaken for many
other species Of birds.
No doubt ardent bird lovers looking
out their windows in the morning, have
imagined him mockingbird, or some
thing else, but few sparrow.
Yet English sparrow he is, as his best
friends know. Not only does he fly with
the same band, Enthusiastically members
of the family, but he Is every inch a
sparrow in all his other markings and
habits.
1t had been more than month since
Whitley graced the yard with his pres
ence. During this time the small trough
on the driveway beneath the maple tree
had been removed and two larger feeders
put up.
The feed had been changed from baby
chick to good grade of mixed bird
seed. The latter is the staple ration of
the wild birds which Winter here.
1t was interesting to see how long it
would be before Whitley and his gang
returned.
The feeders were put up in the after
noon and no birds flew to them at all.
That is to be expected. Never feel put
out If birds do not drop right down i'm
mediately out Of the sky. the moment a
feeding device is put in the yard.
Sometimes day will pass without any
guests. Again. only few hours.
Feel sure that the birds will arrive,
sooner or later.
The newcomer to bird feeding is ad-
vised not to determine, in advance, in his
own mind just which species of birds
he will prefer 10 eat the food he puts
out.
He must take them as they come and
make the best Of them.
The person who makes up his mind
that he wants nothing but chickadees
cardinals and titmice, for instance, with
a pair of nuthatcheS thrown in for good
measure. is probably going to be vastly
disappointed when a band of two dozen
or more English sparrows usurps the
feeder.
This is to be expected and. II the mind
is not made up beforehand, Is not any
thing bad at all. but just part of the
game.
Remember that you are playing with
Nature in one OF her more gracious
moods.
Hunger is hunger, and sparrow ex-
periences 1t quite as much as cardinal
or a bluejay.
Even the startling gets hungryl
So do not make up any list in ad
vance of the birds you hope will eat
the seed you put out.
Keep in mind the plain fact that there
are great many more sparrows than
OF enY other species.
1t is only natural, then. that more of
them will show up in any yard, whether
in the suburbs or the heart Of the city.
These are the background birds, just as
the bass viol plays the background music
in the symphony.
The ''um-pah, um-pah" of the great
fiddles is not particularly pleasing. in
itself, but what would the symphony be
without it?
1t is the same with English sparrows

A tip to SoothSayers, astrologers,
seventh sons of seventh sons. etc.
Predict for the year 1899 and 1910 about
all the possible misfortunes that can
affiict the human race-warS and rumorS
of wars, famineS, peStilences, panicS. One
of them may possibly happen and the
prophet may attain thereby a great repu-
tation for seeing into the future. The
basis for the prediction is very little
better than nothing at all and yet it is
a good deal more valid than the con-
fgurations of the stars, spirit communi-
cations from the ghost OF ones great
great-grandmother etc.
The basis relates to something which
is happening right now 100000 miles
away. The sun is approaching sunspot
maximum which is due in three or four
years, and present indications are that
it will be quite a notable one These
sunspots are titanic tempests, thousands
of miles in diameter, in the solar atmos-
phere, and once every II years they go
through cycle from maximum to mini
mum frequency.
What effect they may have on terres-
trial affairs is, at present. highly Specu
latiye. They project great streams of
electrons into space, some of which enter
the atmosphere of the earth and alter
its electrical state. They cause an in
creased output of ultra violet light which,
if it gets through to the earth's sur
face, has undoubtedly a considerable
effect on living things. There are no
means of knowing at present whether
the effects are extended to human phySi-
ology and psychology, thus resulting in
an increased irritability. Some think so.
Since their discovery by Gallileo in
1910 the years of sunspot maxima have
been as follows, according to data fur
nished by the astrophysical observatory
Of the Smithsonian Institution: 1915,
1926, 1859, 1649, 1860, 1675, 1885, 1893,
17O5, 1718, 1927, 1898, 175O, 1761, 1769,
1778, 1888, 1905, 1916, 1929, 1887. 1848.
1860, 1870, 1883, 1894, 1906, 1917 and 1928
The intervals between these maxima
have varied frcm to Is years. The
average. however. has been approxi-
mately II years
There has grown up an impression
that these maxima are associated with
historical cataclySms of one sort or an
other-such as wars, panics, famines,
etc. due to indirect effects on human
psychology Take, for example. the
maxima years since the beginning of the
nineteenth century. After 1905 Europe
was devastated by the wars of Napoleon
The maximum of 1916 is associated with
the return from Elba and Waterloo. The
next three-l829, 1887 and ls48-all are
associated with revolutionary outbursts in
various parts .of Europe. The Civil War
followed the maximu of 1860, and the
Franco -Prussian War that Of 1870.
Financial depressions and minor wars
can be tied up with the next three. The
World War broke out with the maximum
of 1917 and the great depression followed
that of 1928.
The relationship looks good on its face,
but whether it would stand UP under
any rigid analysis Is questionable Hardly
year goes by without wars and rumors
of wars somewhere. Economic depres-
sions seem to be cyclic phenomena whose
cycles for the past century have par
alleled roughly the sunspot cycles, but
very likely the parallel is purely for
tuitous.
The same seneral sequence has been

Is Life to End at Forty?

In statement left for release by the
White House after his departure, the
President points to one of the real
tragedies of the era of unemployment.
It is the tragedy of growing old-as old
as forty years!-without a steady job.
Some of the industrial plants, the
President points out, even in this brisk
period of rising business and returning
prosperity, are not hiring men over forty,
especially the unskilled who lack q
knowledge of how to do something we'll
Youth must be served. But is life to
end at forty? The sharpest revival, the
President says, has been in the employ
rnent of skilled workers and relatively
young workers. He might have added

New Triple Alliance?

At present there Is only the smoke
of rumor, but there is much to suggest
that the fire of fact does not lurk far
behind reports that something approxi-
ance is in the formative stage. Last
week Far Eastern dispatches foreShad-
owed German-Japanese pact based on
anti-communism and providing for
aggressive and defensive military CO.
operation. The emergency in question,
Of course, would concern war against
Soviet Russia in which either country
might be engaged. Now come circum-
stantial statements, according to which
a triple alliance of Germany, Japan and
Italy is either projected or already con-
summated. Though lacking official cor
roboration, the reports are apparently
taken seriously in London. Foreign Sec
retary Eden is said to have gone the
length of requesting the japanese Am
bassador to Great Britain to submit the
facts The British are loathe to believe
that the japanese would be SO short
sighted as to entangle themselves, as
the London Times puts it, with two
new friends whose penchant for recog-
nizing obvious realities does not extend
to accepting the axiom that signatures
on international agreements are bind
ing"
The undisguised enmity of Japan,
Germany and Italy to the Soviet idea
provides community of interest among
them that lends the alliance talk patent
plausibility. Apart from the anti-Red
complex, several practical considerations
inspire the reputed partnership. One
of them is understood to be that Ger
many and Italy will recognize Man.
chukuo, while Japan in return would
emulate Germany and recognize Italys
conquest of Ethiopia. Trade factors on
the barte" principle enter into the pic
ture. Manchukuan raw materials, espe-
cially soy beans, would be exchanged for
German manufactures, including arms
and munitions. There is also mention
of technical collaboration" between the
japanese and German armies. The
U. s. S. r., the common target of the
three-cornered deal, contends that it's
purported character as bulwark against
communism is mere cloak for its real
purpose-united military action against
Russia in the event of war.
Being nations which classify them
selves as the worlds principat"haye-
notS," with respect to raw materials and
foodstuffs, it is not illogical for Ger
many, Italy and Japan to consider pool
ing their resources for the purpose of
gaining by force what the have" coun-
tries would not otherwise concede them
Germany, with her hunger for over
seas colonies and territory in Eastern
Europe; Japan, with her longings
for mastery of Asia, and Italy, with her
demands for bigger place in the Medi-
terranean sun, comprise trio of powers
hot only linked by common woes and
but possessing formidable
means of getting what they want by
combined effort. But they cannot be
blind to the certainty that such pres
sure bloc would indubitably provoke vast
counter pressure. There is always the
that the Italo-German-
japanese maneuvers, real or fanciful.
are sheer bluff.

Boys and Men.
The small boy is happy elf
Who lives but to enjoy himself.
His life is free from serious care,
His only need is to prepare
For glories he is sure to earn
When at life's game he takes his turn;
With little need to toll or grieve-
That's what the older folks believe.
The man mature, in restful pride,
Has laid anxieties aside
And gained the power that mortals prize
Which he, at will. may exercise.
His wisdom brings him ease complete
And smooths each pathway for his feet,
AS every scene brings joy anew
That is the small boys point of view.

Oysters.

From the Grand Island Independent.
The Martin Johnsons, recently re-

growing on trees in that happy region.
Since that distant day when the first

have been found almost everywhere ex-
