, spades, which did. The alert de-
clarer was looking for chance to
make a squeeze play for the trick
which meant the difference between
victory and defeat, and the spade
discard was just what he hoped for.
AS he led the last club, East held:
spades, Q-10; hearts, K; diamonds,
K-2. If he threw a diamond, the
Ace would drop his K. If he tossed
spade, the K would drop his Q.
He discarded his heart K. The
spade K was led and the heart j
played, squeezing East again. If
he abandoned his last spade, both
of SOuth's would be set up, so he
discarded the little diamond and
the 3 diamonds in dummy became
good. That play would have been
impossible if West had not dis
carded his spades.

Delaware's Legislature.

One would think that State the size
of DelaWare-which John J. ingalls, OF
Kansas once mentioned in the Senate
as boasting of three counties when the
tide is out and two when the tide is in
would be able to do its legislative business
without disorder, confusion or indefinite
results. However, it would seem that the
size of the Legislature has nothing to do
with its efficiency. A situation now arises
in that State which may entail a re-
convening of the lawmakers to pass an
important measure that should have
been enacted at the regular session end
Ing April q. This was bill appropriate
ing $7,000000 for public instruction. 1t
was one Of the last bills to be put
through the mill and it was on the
calendar of the General Assembly on the
final day of the session. That body was
sitting all night with the clocks stopped,
presumably to insure action upon all
essential laws. But the legislators were
in a merry mood and devoted the last
hours of the session to various forms of
jubilation. At four o'clock in the morn
ing recess was taken to enable the
members to troop through the streets
in the escort of member who had to
catch train to New York. There may
have been other factors in the situation
to befog the memories of the legislators.
At any rate, nobody seems to know
whether the bill was passed or not, and
now the Governor has called a confer
ence of all the members of the Legisla-
ture in an inquiry to determine whether
they passed this particular appropriation
bill.
There have been scenes of confusion
in Congress in the final hours of ses-
sions and sometimes it has required the
utmost watchfulness on the part of the
legislative clerks to note what was hap
pening and to keep their records straight.
But never so far as memory runs has
there been anything like the pande-
monium which is described as marking
the final session of the lawmakers of the
next to the smallest State in the Union.
1t remains to be seen whether Nebraska
will have any such experience with its
single chamber Legislature, which is now
in the first stage of trial. If the spirit
of entertainment and festivity marks
its closing hours, however, there is no
guarantee that it will not be just as dis
composed in respect to the orderly trans
action of business as a tWo-chamber
body of jubilating lawmakers.

Pulitzer Prizes.

The theory Of the Pulitzer prizes, like
that of the Nobel awards, is one of
assistance for those individuals who have
achieved artistic but not necessarily COM
mercial success. Yet it may be won-
dered if the purpose of the sponsor is
Invariably fulfilled. The gift of thou
sand dollars to Margaret Mitchell for
"Gone With the Wind" will signify little
TO the recipient. She does not need the
money, nor does she stand in conspicuous
want Of the honor. The vast popularity
of her work assures her recognition far
more gratifying than the approval of
the Advisory Board of the Graduate
School of Journalism at Columbia Uni
versity.
Perhaps the whole philosophy of the
Pulitzer Foundation is mistaken. The
time factor in the problem, for example,
involves delay. Applauding Miss
Mitchell's effort when it is already a
matter of history is something of an
anti-climax If she ever required assist
ance, the moment must have been when
she first began writing her book or when
her publisher first began distribution of
the volume to the dealers Now, the
publicity comes too late to be of much
avail. The saturation point probably was

is the deflnitive character of solids. This
lnteraction which inhibits the rotation
OF the hydrogen atoms at the base of
the triangle can only be interpreted, DR..
Hlbben says, as evidence that water is
made up of semicrystalline patterns of
the triangular molecules.
Therefore, he concludes, it must be con-
sldered as semi-solid something on an
lll-deflned border line between LIQUID and
solid. This is condition which is rare,
II not unique, in nature 1t is perhaps
IN large measure responsible for the pc
culiar properties of water which make 1t
indispensable for life on earth and per-
haps the only possible environment in
which the infinitely complex combination
OF chemical elements which constitutes
protoplasm could have come together
and persisted, to form the basic structure
of life.
The pattern varies, Dr. Hibben finds,
when anything is in solution in the water
and also according to the atomic COM
position OF the water Physicists now
recognize the possibility of eight or 10
kinds OF water. There are three known
atoms OF hydrogen-single, double and
triple. There are at least two kinds of
oxygen molecule. All the possible COM
blnations Of these into the H2O formula
constitute water and the kinds are in
distinguishable except with delicate
physical tests.

British and American
Tax Systems COMPARED

From the Charlotte IN. c. News
An income tax that is an income tax
mas just been proposed in the United
Kingdom. To defray the cost of a vast
rearmament program running into the
seven billions OF dollars, the income tax
rate would be raised to Is per cent. In
addition, there would be 33 per cent
tax on what might be called excess busi-
ness profits; that is, profits greater than
IN the year preceding.
The English and the American income
tax structures differ in many respects.
That OF our cousins begins at lower
level-exemptions are s625 for a single
man, $4,000 for a married man with
three or more children, contrasting with
$1,000 and $3,70O respectively, in the
United States. Theirs is a fat rate,
with no gradations, and it seems to us
In this country an excessive rate. Ours
starts low a per cent?, but runs all the
way up to 79 per cent before it is finished.
But the greatest difference is in busi-
ness taxes. In this country corporate
income is taxed as it is earned, sur
taxed again Cd to the corporation if it
is not distributed In the form of divi-
dends or CD to the individual if it is
distributed Rates are high. But the
English have looked solely to the in
dividual. The new excess profits tax
Is their first recourse to another field.
Another difference, manifest from the
foregoing, is in the attitude of the two
countries toward the income tax. There,
it is looked upon purely and simply as a
revenue producer, and that it produces
is shown by the fact that budgets have
been balanced approximately ever since
1920. Here, the income tax is used as
an instrument OF social and economic
reform, and the experts say that as
presently devised 1t has reached the point
Of diminishing returnA

Benito Corners the News,

Benito Mussolini is not only a thor
oughly competent dictator but he is also
a shreWd business man He is simul-
taneously the ruler of Italy, whose will
must be obeyed, and the owner and pub
Usher of Popolo d'Italia, which because
OF that fact is the leading journal of
Rome and consequently of Italy. To
confirm its status Publisher Mussolini,
in his capacity as ruler, has just issued
a decree that all important announce
ments of policy must be printed first in
his newspaper and that simultaneously
the other papers must print an an
nouncement to this effect: THE Popolo
d'Italla today carries an important
article on such and such a subject"
And furthermore, the other newspapers
are forbidden to reproduce the article
until the following day, when they are
required to print it, giving credit to the
Popolo dItalia. Nothing could be
neater or more effective to establish II
Duce's own newspaper as the official
organ of the state. And the system has
its advantages in the matter Of en-
hancing the value Of the paper as a
business enterprise. Herr Hitler has
not adopted this plan yet, but he may
do so, in complimentary recognition Of
the genius of his fellow dictator. Herr
Goebels' control of the German press is
fairly well established, however, and no
newspapers are permitted to get out Of
step.
The American press is still free and
untrammeled and there is no court
organ with exclusive privileges of an
nouncement and discussion.

Again, the decision was formulated by

lacking in power of discrimination. It
makes universal fad of an interest one

Changeableness is its outstanding char

Is to worship briefly and at many shrines.

say that all that Is transient and
ephemeral? The theory is unscientific;
1t does violence to the principle of cause
and effect; it flouts elemental logic.
Furthermore, 1t might be argued that
another plane is indicated by the antici-
patton Of the sentient inhabitants OF this
world. They hope for life everlasting.
1t is inconceivable that such an aspira-
ton should be lacking in motive, empty
