part by the increasing interest in air
conditioning, in which humidifcation
Is a major part.
We saw a new devise the other day
which can be attached to a modern
boiler in very simple fashion and
will add sufficient moisture to the air
in q fairly good-sized house without
your having to tear the place to pieces
to get it in. One beauty of the hui
modification business is the fact that
when you introduce only a small
quantity of moisture-1aden air into q
space which is parched and gasping
for dampness, the moment the moist
air hits the dry q rapid transfer takes
place and the water vapor permeates
the entire volume. Thus, when the
hunidifier shoots air in small guam
tity, but filled with water vapor, up
into the house It is only matter Of
seconds before the entire house will
be filled with the proper amount of
humidiflcation.

- When your heating plant is

LIBEL SUSPECTED
IN EAGLE STORIES
Observer Doubts if Bird
Would Attack Sheep
or Children.

Stories about the bald eagle battling
Wildcats and carrying off children
again are making the rounds. In view
of this the American Nature Associa-
tion at Washington publishes a state
ment from N. r. castillo, longtime OBJ
server Of the national emblem, who
believes most of the wild stories are
fiction. At least, castillo has never
seen any of the incidents charged
against this bird
II you have ever seen the bald eagle
carry off child or a sheep, the Amer
ican Nature Association wants the
facts. Here is part Of the report Of
castillo to the association:
MY observations of the birds were
Systematically conducted studies of
more than 100 individuals. part of
my duties as a salmon trap watcher
was to dispatch as many eagles as pos
sible, although 1 confess to a neglect
of the prescribed duties in spite Of the
Federal bounty Of 81.
Eat DecompOsed Fish.
ut was contended land still Isl by
the salmon interests that the eagle was
responsible for the tremendously re-
duced number Of salmon. I wonder
how group Of apparently intelligent
men could formulate the opinions
they had about a creature that seemed
wholly inoffenSive so far as live fish
were concerned. Indeed, I thought
them decidedly beneficial, for they
consumed quantities Of decomposed
fish carcasses that drifted ashore.
People have accused the eagle of
destroying not only grouse, ptarmigan
and water fowl, but also young caribou,
mountain sheep and goats. But why
the eagles should leave an abundant
supply Of their favorite food, available
along practically every water course,
has always been a source OF wonder to
me, particularly when considering the
comparative difficulty involving the
capture of the prey that they are ac-
cused of taking
To this I might add that on IL
separate instances I observed young
fawns in the company Of their mothers
contentedly feeding within easy strik-
ing distance Of several eagles. They
preferred to waddle clumsily from one
fostering pile of fish to another.
Tests Lifting Power.
ITO determine, if possible, the lift
ing power Of an eagle, I anchored a
dead four-pound pickerel to 10-pound
rock in IS feet Of water, the fish. of
course, floating on the surface at the
end of stout line. One Of the eagles
grasped the fish and tried to make off
with 1t. During the violent wing
beating it succeeded in dragging the
rock about 20 feet Then it dropped
the obstinate fish and winged OF in
disgust
Why not give the bird that was
CHOSEN as our national emblem a
chance? Even If he were as destructive
as he has been pictured by some. there
would still be excellent reasons for the
preservation of the living symbol of
our liberty and freedom because 1t is
fitting symbol"

He also held an inquest into the
death of Charles Lee Miller, missing
Washington taxicab driver, whose
skeleton was found near Greenbelt

died from an unknown cause"
Identification Of the skeleton was

MIDDLE BRACKET
FACES TAX BOOST
Conference With Morgen-
thau Aide Indicates Levy
Boost Is Considered.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Speculation over the question Of
whether the Treasury will seek heavier
taxes centered today on possible higher
levies against individuals and cor
porations with middle bracket in
comes.
An indication that the Treasury is
considering expanding this revenue
channel came yesterday from Repre-
sentative Celler, Democrat, OF New
York, after he and Morris s. Tre-
maine, New York State controller,
conferred with Undersecretary Roswell
Magill.
Celler said Magill had mentioned
lifting middle-bracket income tax
rates as a means Of bolstering reve-
nues.
Magill did not detail the brackets
which might be affected, Celler said.
Middle-bracket incomes, however, gen.
orally are regarded as those between
$4,000 and $50,00O Surtax rates on
these now range from 7 to 81 per cent.
Undistributed Profits Tax.
Celler and Tremaine said they de-
voted most of their conference with
Magill to urging a modification of
the capital gains and undistributed
profits taxes.
These levies, they said, are putting
brakes on private enterprise and are
hampering collections under some
taxes
Tremaine asserted modification Of
the capital gains tax-levying i'm
posts on gains realized from holding
and liquidating assets-would pour
millions OF extra dollars into the
Treasury by encouraging wealthy per-
sons to shift capital from one enter
prise to another.
Wall Street is not now paying its
share of taxes" he asserted.
Tremaine and Celler said Magill
had been very sympathetic" to these
arguments.
Magill himself was silent after the
conference, but from Treasury
spokesman came this statement:
"Undersecretary Magill has re-
ceived and is giving consideration to
suggestions from many sources as to
changes in the tax laws.
He is not at this time under
taking to state either his own opin-
ion or the Treasury's attitude toward
these suggestions"
Earlier this week, informed off,
cials represented both Secretary Nor
genthau and Chairman Mariner S.
Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board
as being ready to recommend heavier
taxes II these were deemed necessary
to balance the Federal budget.
Morgenthau told reporters yester-
day he had made no statement on
the tax situation since the last con-
gressional session and that this
leaves my hands united" for the
coming session. Eccles, vacationing
in Utah, declined comment.
