human life, is heralded to the four
corners of the world by thousands Of

pastor, who expressed his apprecia-
ton to the Henderson Daily Dispatch
for the space so willingly given to
help in heralding the work of redemp-

on.

Chengchow.
Although the Japanese, swiftly coils
ing in toward the junction from the
sandy planes southeast of the city,
were meeting heavy Chinese fire, it
was believed the defenders were mere
ly fighting a rear guard action.
Most of the Chinese forces were said
to have withdrawn to the south, first
to defend arsenals in the path of ia
pans westward offensive, and, Sec
ondly, to make their stand in more

ON 3 D. C. BILLS

Bills designed to close a loophole
in the new business privilege tax
in the District of Columbia and to
regulate beauty and barber shops
were signed today by President
Roosevelt.
The revenue bill would prevent
the deduction from the business
privilege tax those taxes paid on
motor vehicles. Whereas the law
assessing the business privilege
tax authorized the deduction Of
taxes paid on tangible property"
the bill signed today would except
automobiles.
Congressional sponsors Of the
measure estimated it would involve
about 100000 in revenue an
nually.
The bill regulating beauty par
lors would fix standards of COM
potency and age of beauty parlor
operators and bring their admin
1stration under a board of cos
metology. The third bill signed to-
day by the President would SINH
larly establish standards Of ex-
perience and qualification for bar
berS, and bring the administration
Of barber shops under a board of
barber examiners.

Money circulates whenever goods circulate
Whenever people want to buy things, or to in

To try to force money to circulate when people

let workers be reasonably sure of profitable en-
