APPROVAL NEAR
FOR D. C. TAX TO
MEET DEFICIT
Advisory Group Expects
100000 New Funds

The Advisory Committee on Dis
trict Taxation was expected today
to give final approval Wednesday
to an altered tax Set-up which
would produce a net increase of
about seven million dollars in rev.
enue, more than enough to offset
the anticipated 1910 deficit estim-
ated variously at from three mil
lion to more than four million dol
lars,
AS 1t now stands, the scheme
calls for abandonment Of the bust
ness privilege and Intangible per
sonal property levies, enactment of
q five per cent tax on the incomes
Of the four local utilities and levy
Of combination sales-income tax
which would exempt foods, medi-
cines and rents and salaries under
fifteen thousand dollars a year,
and continuation of the SITS rate
on real estate.
EARLIER ADVICE FOLLOWED
The final draft was prepared by
Chester B. Pond, metropolitan tax
expert. and Colin STAN, counsel
Of the Joint Congressional Com
mittee on Internal Revenue Taxa
ton. It is virtually unchanged
from recommendations prepared
earlier by the Advisory Committee.
The sales feature set at 2 per
cent is expected to yield about
$6,500,000 with $1,250,00O anti
cipated from an income levy rang
ing from 2 to 7 per cent on salaries
OF more than $4,000. Another
$l,250,000 would be collected from
the corporate income tax and con-
tinuation of the SITS real estate
rate would bring in $3,000,00O.
$7,OOO,OOO NET ADDED
Tax experts calculate these
measures would result in a gross
increase of $12,000,0O0, but aban-
donment of the intangible personal
property and business privilege
taxes would reduce the gross to
an expected net of 100000 ad.

HAVANA, March 25.-The $1,000
diamond set in the floor of one OF
the rooms of the Cuban capitol may

stationed in the room itself, but
beneath the diamond a hollow iron
tube runs to point where men
are always on watch. Any sound
made near the diamond is amplified
by the tube and would bring the
guards on a run. All distances in

Comparison With Grains

Because they are somewhat
similar in nutritional character,
nuts have been compared to vari-
GUS grains. In regard to protein,
however, they may be said to
serve as a supplement to the pro-
TENS of some grains.
The high fuel value of many
nuts is due to their fat content.
Coconuts, pecans and walnuts are
especially rich in fat, containing
respectively sos per cent, 70.5 per
cent, and ga per cent of fat. A
few varieties, such as chestnuts
and ichi nuts, so popular with
the Chinese, are more notable for
their carbohydrates. Like most
starchy foods, chestnuts are i'm
proved by cooking, and there
fore, are preferably roasted be-
fore eating. Fresh chestnuts con-
tain a little over AZ per cent and
dried chestnuts a little over IA per
cent of carbohydrates.

cooked, wiring a cloth out in cold
water and strain the liquor

The ChiId's Chair.-A child's
dining chair should be only deep
enough to support his back and
yet shallow enough to allow his
knees to bend, and it should have
a support if the child's feet do not
reach the floor.
For Baby's Safety.-Keep the

Cleaning Isinglass.-Apply vine

Pigeon Expert Is Prepared to Deliver
Thousands of Birds to Army for War Use

If war were declared tomorrow,
an obscure gentleman named Rob-
ert Milne suddenly would become
one Of the busiest men in the coun-
try, relates Kermit Kahn in Coronet
magazine.
Instantly, he would communicate
with some 200 pigeon fanciers in the
eastern part Of the United States.
The next morning, his Office would
be swamped with several hundred
slightly startled pigeons. From
these Mr.. Milne would select the
fastest and most reliable.
Then he would step outside his
office, at Fort Monmouth, N. j., and
start breeding the 500 pigeons locat-
ed in nearby government pigeon
lofts. In a short while, American
military commanders would have
at their disposal 5000 homing pig
cons, fully trained to communicate
information across enemy lines. In

One teaspoon of onion juice or half

For Coffee Stains.-Remove cof-

The first reminder of his altered

following his friends departure, in
the form of a night-letter addressed
"Templeton Sayles, Esq, Moldavia,

in New York and get some address
to which he could forward the mes
sage, he stuck it upon the mantel,
unopened. When no such informa-

An envelope similarly addressed,
