Or Tiny, the rhino, might boast:
Eyes, indeedy. my ancestor, old IT,
tantherium, was we'll known in his day.
Handsome old fellow, too. Some folks
might prefer the lordly parsonage
with the tusks, Mr. Arsinoetherium.
but give me the Titanotherium every
time"
RABE and Tiny and the others can
~ be pardoned If they feel bit OF
pride in the artist selected to do their
family portraits. Charles Knight
ranks in that world Before the Dawn
of History"-the title Of one Of his
books-as a painter where Van Dyke,
Rembrandt and Reubens do in the hu-
man family. If you can boast of an
ancestral portrait from the brush OF
one of those-well. you can under
stand how the Zoo pachyderms will
feel.
Artist Knights work is represented
in Washington by number Of models
in the division of paleontology New
National Museum. He has a number
of restoratiops in the Field Museum
in Chicago and in the National Mu-
scum in New York.
DR.. Mann describes the knight
drawings as education in a painless
way"
The sketches include two groups OF
three figures which will be used in
lunettes over the doorways and a
series of individual figures which will
be worked in aluminium and form a
frieze around the entire inside Of the
building. There are seven Of them
and include the Tusked Mastodon, the
Mastodon, the Woolly Mammoth, the
Baluchiterium, the Titanotherium. the
Woolly Rhinoceros and the Arsinoe-
theriun.
Five sketches Of the modern de-
scendents of the giants Of the pre-
historic world will be used as floor
designs. These designs will be worked
in colored cement as will, also, the
lunettes over the doorways.

INCOMES TELL THE STORY.

No truer indication of the fact that things are looking up for residents of Alaska can be found than the re- port of Alex Mex. Vierhus. Collector of Internal Rev. enue, for the district includ ing the State of Washing ton and the Territory of Al aska. MT. Vierhus reports that collections for January of this year were Fl per cent more than 1885 and that February was 65 per cent over a year ago. The actual collections for the first two months of this year were $667,475, or a gain of $269,258 over the same period a year ago. These increases are the more significant, MT. Vier- hus believes, because they also show an increase of ap proXimately 60 per cent oV- CT the 1884 returns.
 AnaIvzing further, the Collector points out that the greater part of the In- crease comes from the small salary and wage earn ing class returns, although there is a substantial gain for all classes of taxpayers.
 There can be but one an- SWer to that picture, and that is the assurance of ac- tual business improvement in dollars and cents. You don't pay income tax up- less you make income. The old adage is that money talks, and certainly. it talks

If the increase in returns was mostly from those in the larger brackets it would be a much less heartening pie ture, but when the gain is noticeable in the small sal ary and wage earning class, il reveals the widespread scope of readjuStment and employment.

Two Minute Sermon
(By Thomas HastwelD

YOUTH HOLDS THE KEY: All
over this country there is growing
feeling among the young people
against war, because of it's utter
folly, and it's senseless waste. This
rising tide of opposition among the
youth of the country is making an
impression on the older minds and
has done much to create a general
consciousness against war. Young
people are awakened to this stand
for two reasons. First, they realize
that while they will have no voice
in the decision, if war comes they
are the ones who will have to go
to the battle 'front.' The other
reason is, young people are not
actuated in their thinking by the
profit motive to the degree that
older persons are. Their judgment
in matters of this kind is more i'm
personal and less influenced by
the thought of property loss or
gain. To the cintinuance of this
rebellion of youth, more than to
any other cause, l look for the
eventual abolishment Of war and
tho Domino of world Doacp In
somewhat the same measure | be-
lieve that there is growing reyO-
luton among the youth of the
country against the old, wasteful,
political practices that have be-
come a part of a party-ridden de-
mocracy. The waste, the inef-
ficiency, the folly. of bleeding the
producer for the benefit of the tax
eater and the wastrel is revolving
to their idealistic patriotism! and
concepts of efficient government.
| think the next revolution on the
nations horizon will be the revolt
of youth against war and the folly
of wasteful, inefficient, party-rid-
den practices in government.
When it comes it will bring a new
day to this nation and to the
world.

"KNEE ACTION" |. IS UNDERTAKEN
 BY JOE KUHEL
Washington S First Base man Going to Adopt
 New System

] ORLANDO, Fla. March 13.- Joe Kuhel, the Washington first-base- man who has been flop at bat for the last two years, plans to put some knee action" into his swing this season.
 In recent seasons Kuhel has been standing upright and resting hls bat on his shoulder as he waited for the pitch. Last year this brought him a batting mark of .261.
 He plans to loosen up and see whether he gets better results. Kuhel says he will bend his left knee and slant his body bit toward the catcher. He'll hold his bat back to be ready for quick swing.
 Kuhel explains this will not be new stance for him. He used it some years ago when he rolled up a .360 batting average with Kansas City in the American association.
 Joe's plan meets with the approv- al of Manager Bucky Harris. With the American league batting cham pion, Buddy Myer. at second base, and the heavy-hitting Cecil Travis at short-stop, Pilot Harris looks for l one of the "cloutingest" infields in the majors if Kuhel can raise his average above the 300 figure and if Buddy Lewis, the rookie third base man from Chattanooga, can locate some where near that level.
