StratOSpherG Balloon Talks

HELSINGFORS, Finland, July g. A new type stratosphere balloon, little more than yard in diameter, promises to make possible obse1va- tions miles above the earth, even in uninhabited regions like the polar lands.
 The balloon, carrying an appar- atus which automatically telegraphs air pressure and temperatures at regular intervals, reached a height of almost 13 miles in test flight here.
 Hailed as an innovation in Stra- tospheric exploration, the new ap- paratus weighs less than Is pounds '- tluding the sending equipment.
 The equipment, invented by Dr. Vilho Vaisala, comprises two bal Icons, one inside the other. They contain a thermometer, an aneroid barometer and a small radio send CT. The sender is powered by two small storage batteries. Recovery of the balloon is not necessary to the success of the experiment as the

Former Alaska Steamer Is Junked-Early Day
 Pirate Case

 Sale of the old steamship Ad- miral Evans for scrapping recalled to veterans of the Seattle water front the daring attempt more than twenty-five years ago, of two mod ern day pirates, armed with a sawed-off shotgun and a revolver, to seize the ship and steal a con- signment of gold bullion they sup posed was aboard.
 The Admiral Evans, then known as the Buchanan, was steaming in calm weather bound from Seattle for San Francisco August 21, 1910, when two young men, French West and George Washington Wise, who bearded the vessel in Seattle as passengers, killed Capt. Edwin B. Wood and took charge of the ship off Eureka, Calif, intending to beach her.
 Capt. R. C.. Brennan Chief Of fioer, took over command of the vessel and fought revolver duel with West after he killed Captain Wood in the pilothouse.

Small Business Facing Tax Now
 Fifteen Per Cent

Details of the new revenue law passed by Congress in the last few hours of the recent session, reveals that most small Alaskan corpora tions will be subjected to flat in come tax rate of Is per cent or slightly more.
 Individuals will continue to pay virtually the same rate. Starting at 4 per cenD except that dividends from doEest.c stock corporations, heretofore exempt, will be subject 10 tax.
 Corporations earning less than $500C0 will pay 8 per cent on the first $2oo0 of net income, plus higher rates on succeeding amounts, and plus flat per cent surtax cn undistributed profits The latter tax will apply unless the corpora tion retains less than 10 per cent of it's income, or, in other words, pays 90 per cent or more of it's in- come in dividends.
 In addition to the normal tax. there will be an excess profits tax of per cent on corporations earn ing nor than 1212 per cent of their adjusted valuation And on the de- clared valuation to be filed in July, the tax will be at the rate of $1 for every 5000 declared value.
 Thus, only the rarest of corpora tions will pay a lower tax than for merly. The corporation paying 90 Ter cent of it's current earnings in dividends and earning altogether less than $2000 will pay per cent tax, with somewhat higher rates on earnings over $2000 However, very few corporations can pay such high dividends. Instead. funds must be kept for expansion and reserve.
 There are, of course, so many angles to the vast new law that a comprehensive summary is impos- sible Here, however, are the prin- cipal provisions as they relate to corporations:
 On the first $2000 of normal-tax net income 8 per cent ($16O).
 On the next $13,oOO, II per cent ($1500).
 On the next $25,OOO, l3 per cent (s4S400
 On all net income over $40,0OO Is per cent.
 Besides this normal tax, a surtax cn undistributed profits is provided. The undistributed net income thus to be taxed means the adjusted net income minus the sum of the divi- dends actually paid to stockhold- CTS.
 The surtaX will be as follows: [ per cent of the portion of the un- distributed net income which is noi | in excess of 1G per cent of the ad- justed net income
 1 Twelve per cent of the portion Cf the undistributed net income which is in excess of 20 per cent of the adjusted net income.
 Seventeen per cent of the portion of the undistributed net income which is in excess of 20 per cent and not in excess of 40 per cent of the adjusted net income.
 Twenty-two per cent of the un- distributed net income which is in excess Of 40 per cent and not in ex- ] cess of 60 per cent of the adjusted ] net income.

Removing Dye From
Hair; Weight and
Posture.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

Mrs. M. H: overbleached or
overdyed hair may be treated to
hot oil treatments, but this will not
accomplish the results you wish. The
OF. will tend to darken the hair the
least bit. If you do not wish to use
any chemicals on your hair. then there
is nothing to do but let the hair grow
out. OF course. this Is long. drawn
out process. The oil treatments will,
indeed, strengthen your hair and help
to counteract the dryness. However,
if you wish to actually remove the
excess coloring, there are several dye
removers on the market. My advice
would be that you have this done by
an expert in reputable beauty salon,
then have the oil treatments and your
hair will look natural and healthy.
My hair bulletins contain instructions
for the hot-ou treatment, also brush
ing massage and shampooing the hair
at home. These bulletins will cheer
fully be sent to you on receipt Of
self-addressed, stamped (3-cent) en-
velope.
Miss Eighteen: At 1S. unless you
are very much overweight, a double
chin indicates that your posture is
poor. If your head is thrust forward
whether in sitting, standing or Sleep
ing position. this will cause the double
chin position. If you are sleeping on
pillow, would advise you to dis
card 1t. Also take some neck exer-
cises. And do be sure that you are
holding your head erect, chin almost
horizontal. Balance a book on your
head and walk around the room. Note
the position of your chin. My bulletin
on Posture Rules" will cheerfully be
sent to you, also my exercise bulletin.
Please ask for both of these and
inclose a self-addressed, stamped
(3-cent) envelope.
Alice B.: I think you'll find that If
you use the soap or shampoo directly
on your hair, before you use water,
this will help to cut the excess oil.
The secret of applying oil successfully,
in the first place, is to apply to scalp
and not hair. Use small piece of
absorbent cotton or a medicine
dropper. Then massage thoroughly.
Finally, when you are ready to sham
poo, do not moisten the hair with
water first, as this tends to set the
oil on the hair. Instead work up
your lather and then use the water.
After the shampoo, rinse very thor
oughly. When the hair squeaks be-
tween the fingers this indicates that
the soap has been washed away. Then
use a rinse: lemon, vinegar or ready
prepared rinse to cut the curd. My
hair bulletins mentioned above also
contain information on rinses.

Definition
Of House"
And Home"
BY EMILY POST.
NEAR MRS. POST: As a Frenc

DEAR MRS. POST: As a French
- woman !. am interested in the
distinction you make between the
words "house" and home" To me.
of course, house in French is "maison,"
and think the equivalent OF home
is foyer" Do you agree with this?
Can you present a rule for when
to say home and when to say house?
And can you tell me why the word
"lady'' is never heard in the present
day? Don't you think the language
needs it?
Answer-Yes, your word "foyer" is
nearest, and that, too, is subtle word
to define. At least so 1t seems to me.
Our word "home" In its true mean
ing is the sentiment, the atmosphere,
the spirit, the personality, the hos
pitality which the room or the apart
ment or the house in which you
dwell expresses. Home" divested of
its sentiment is not synonym for
"houses." A house is built Of wood
or stone. furniture is put In it, also
plumbing and other concrete objects.
Home Is intangible-you cannot put
an ice box in your home any more
than you can put an ice box in your
marriage. To put an ice box In the
home means q charitable institution.
On the other hand, you can do home
cooking, home designing and home
sewing; you can fill your home with
love and beauty. comfort and hos
pitality.

Tests Given
ByAnateur
Are Useless
Very Rarely Success
full; Best to Let
Child Develop.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

~ MO1dE6 mas Written 10 ASK INe
\ for a reliable test for her baby.
A test that will indicate the babys
intelligence, its future success and give
the mother some assurance for the
training she wants to give him. A
reason, as it were, for the faith that
is in her.
I offer no such test. I would not
test baby's intelligence unless there
was grave doubt about it; then I
would call in the experts of the baby
hospital and clinic to do the testing.
Tests that are given by amateurs are
useless. Worse, they annoy children
and worry them without reason.
Nothing is learned by testing baby
with a series of questions that could
not be observed by the intelligent and
watchful mother When the test is
over and the child tagged, mother
knows what she knew before. He is
bright, or he is not bright.
Something else is involved in this
testing, however. 1t is possible to test
a child only at his present level of de-
velopment. No child develops evenly.
Some of them are slow to develop GER
tain powers like speech, walking, Or
ganization of ideas, coordination Of
one sort and another. A test might
show a child very bright today and
not so bright next month when an
other test is given. Or the other way
about. Today's test might show him
deficient in some ways while another
test. given a few weeks later, will show
a decided advance. Any such test
calls for experiences. If the baby has
not had the experiences called for, is
he to be regarded as different?
Wait a while. Give the baby a
chance to grow. If he smiles at you,
eats well, sleeps we'll, hears, sees, re-
spends to your touch; plays, takes an
interest in things about him. why
worry? If he is decidedly backward
he is subject for the experts care,
not one for the game of questions and
answers. We are having too much
testing and not enough teaching.
My experience with testing leads me
to conclude that unless there is grave
doubt about a child's normality the
good teachers judgment on childs
intelligence and ability to do the grade
work required is as good, or better,
than any formal test conducted by in.
experienced, unframed people. The
teacher lives with the pupils, feels
their reactions, handles their work,
knows the quality of their minds as
nobody else can know it. 1t is the
quality of the mind that is of first
Importance. Quality means high
power, endurance, first rate mental
ability. A good teacher detects these
and responds to them as ducks do to
water.
Only highly trained and skilled ex-
eminers should be allowed to test the
mental ability OF children and label
them in accordance with that find
ing. It Is too serious a proceeding to
permit of any bungling. The good
teacher, experienced in dealing with
children, can say at once that his
child is bright, this one slower, this
one slowest. That is enough to work
on. Those who defy understanding
are subjects for the experts. Babies
ought to be given a chance to grow
before being tested and labelled.
Labels are dangerous.

and my parents need my help. Brother
and sister alone couldn't swing the
home and I'd feel like a cad if left
them to bear the burden alone. What
is your advice under the circum-
stances? FRANK,
Answer: Page Solomon. I cannot
presume to offer advice in these two
cases and thousands like them that
come to this column, because I do not
know the answer. 1t involves the
whole question of how much right We
have to live ou. own lives and take
our own happiness at the expense of
others. The matter is even more COM
plicated than that because it must
take into consideration ones own heart
and conscience and sense of loyalty
and duty. 1t takes one far wiser than
I am to settle these problems.
IT IS easy to say that our first duty
is to ourselves and that we should
secure our own well-being at whatever
price to others. No doubt there are
hard and callous people who can do
this-who can ride roughshod to the
goal Of their desires over the old and
helpless and sick. But most of us are
not built that way, thank God, and
our cake would turn bitter in our
mouths II We knew that some one we
loved was starving because we feasted.
We could not buy our own warm
hearthstone by taking away our old
parents fire. Nor could we find COM
fort in our children's arms around our
necks il We turned traitor to the
mother who bore us.
So there We are. Whether we can
buy our own happiness at the price
of those dependent upon us Is some
thing each of us must settle accord
ing to our own sense of right and
wrong and our own temperaments. I
do not think that the writer's of either
one of these letters would find that
the JOY of having children or a wife
would compensate them for the suf-
ferings they had brought upon their
old mothers. But how tragic that such
choice must be made and that the
lack Of little money stands between
so many people and happiness!
