Defense Tax BHI

On Tuesday Of last week, by its
helming vote passing the Ad-
ninlstfatlohs emergency tax bill,
the House performed the extraordi-
nary feat In an election year Of In
cfeasing not only taxes, but also the
number Of taxpayers. The House de-
voted sever hours to debate on the
bill, which under stringent gag
rule" could be amended only by the
Ways and Means Committee. The
Committee offered no changes and
the bill now goes to the Senate FL
nance Committee where hearings are
scheduled to start Immediately, and
Senate Majority Leader Bafkley said
he hoped the measure could be re-
ported out and brought before the
senate not later than Monday. The
new tax bill is designed to raise
$1,000, 100000 annually for the next
fve years to pay for this years de-
Tense program. Individual incomeI
taxes aIone are expected to yield an
additional $375 100000 year, while
over 2,000,000 new persons will be
added to the tax rolls. In addition to
boosting taxes the measure author
ICES an increase In the present $45,-
1oO, 100000 debt limit to $4,000 ,O00,-
900 through issuance of s4,000,00O,-
900 of securities, maturing within
five years to be known as the ma
tional Defense Series" About two
thirds of the estimated new revenue,
including the excises and a 10 per
cent supertax- projected for five
years only, but most Of the increases
on corporation and Individual in
comes are written as permanent
changes in the tax law.

The reason these conditions are
better in warm weather is prob
ably due to perspiration. 4 derma-

alkalinity of the skin after the
use Of soap and found that it or

one-half hour if the patient was

Prevention Of the condition in
those who have their hands in

with fair degree of success. The

S. c. SWamped
Westp0rt Sunday

Sank Centres baseball team,
back of some fine mound work by
Sorenson, took Westport into camp
Sunday in the second game Of the
league season. With this win the
locals maintained a 1000 place in
league standings. The final score
was "a to 8.
Westport was unable to connect
with the offerings of Sorenson, UNI
til in the seventh inning, when
they scored their first counter.
Again in the eighth frame they
made two more scores for their
total of three.
Free smuggling and a number of
errors gave the local team a wide
lead, before the opponents could
count. In the first frame Sank
Centre made two runs; in the third
they garnered four; in the fifth
they got seven; and successfully
in the sixth, seventh and eighth,
they scored two, two and seven,
for a total of twenty-four. West
port used three pitchers in this
onslaught.
Sorenson had the Westport play
ers eating out of his hand thru
out the entire game, and his per-
Torrance with good backing and
hitting by his team indicates that
the locals have a strong aggrega-
ton in the six team league.
Next Sunday, June 9th, Willard
will meet Sank Centre on the local
diamond. Westport will play Osa-
kis at Osakis, and Clotho will con-
tend with West Union at West IN
ion.

Mercury, Golfers
Hit Seasons High

Best three days of the current
season was reported for Friday,
Saturday and Sunday after Mem
orial Day by L. A. Walker, care
taker of the Country Club course,
as Pat Dubois, tournament chair
man, this week called to the front
a new tournament and released
winners in the first week of the
9-week team competition.
Mr.. Walker estimated this
week that 125 local golfers had
played as the total for the
three days. Sunday alone
brought out an estimated so,
which proves that golfers don't
mind the heat. For while these
record bids were being made
the mercury was hanging up
one of its own with the offic-
ial temperature clocked here at
a high of SO degrees.
Only exception to the ranking of
these three days was the short
stop tournament Sunday, May 26,
Mr.. Walker pointed out. The
counts, as kept in his records, tab
local golfers only.
In the meantime Pat was beat
ing the drums for a blind DOGGY
event that will begin this evening,
Thursday, and be played each
Thursday evening. Qualifying
scores will precede round of play
and scores on the latter will be
placed in a box. Winner will be
drawn and his name placed on the
tin cup that was such a favorite

Orange Defeated

In league play Sunday afternoon,
the Orange Tigers, of Osakis, took
the West Union entry by the score
Of 10 to Z. This was the first game

to the disastrous defeat, said the

an unusually brilliant one, since it
was attended by the Marquis de La
fayette and his son, George Wash
ington Lafayette, then visiting this
country, and for the time being
staying in this city.
Naturally there was very large
crowd present who wished to meet
the President, and especially to
shake hands with the greatest
Frenchman America had ever known
and its greatest foreign supporter
during the American Revolution, in
which he took such an active part.
Upon this occasion it is said that
Mr.. Webster, Mr. Everett, Mr.. Clay,
Mr.. Otis, Mr.. Crawford. Gen. JACK
son, John Quincy Adams, Gems.
Dearborn, Scott, Macomb, Bernard,
and Commodores cambridge, Tingey,
Stewart and Morris, all famous, or
to become famous in the annals Of
our country, were present to pay
honor to the distinguished general.
Adapted to Duties.
Mr.. Monroe was very fortunate in
having a wife who was so well
adapted to the social duties of the
Chief Magistrate. Nearly 10 years of
her life had been spent at Euro
pean capitals while accompanying
her husband on his various missions
to foreign courts. She was extremely
exacting in the matters of appro-
pirate dress to be worn at her re-
ceptions, and upon one occasion
even refused admission to near
relative who was not prepared with g.

shave with cold water and make the
deadline on time. The problem was
solved at Quantico, Va, by an en-
terprising but lazy marine, who
rolled leisurely out of bed at the
very last possible moment, dressed
in about half minute, and then
calmly reached for a vanity kit,
took out puff and powered his
face. Paying no attention to howls
Of derision and shrieks of 'Lizzie!"
he took his place in the line and
got by, shaving later, after break
fast and before morning drill, with
hot water from the kitchen.
At intervals throughout the day
he was kidded numerically. 1t be-
came especially hard to bear in the
bunkhouse that night, and the sound
Of taps was never more welcome.
The same could not be said Of rev.

gang had to get up and remove their
stubborn whiskers with ice cold wa

But not all the gang. Three mem

the last moment, then borrowed Liz

were too thoughtful to do much kid

puff was used by at least a dozen.

an intimate friend of all the great
men of his day. He opened his
doors in Madison place in 1880,
and after visiting the President, the
diplomatic corps arranged in the
customary court dresses, presented
themselves at his home in the same
formal way they did at the White
House, after which, many of the
Tayloe callers proceeded up the
street little way to call on Dolly
Madison. after she had moved into
the Madison street house, recently
acquired by the Government, but
still temporarily occupied by the

Custom Is Passing.
1t may not be true, but 1t does
seem that we are drifting somewhat
away from the old-established Gus
tom of calling on our friends on
New Year Day. 1t is still within
the memory OF many when the
newspapers could hardly accommo-
date the public in announcing the
people who would hold open house"
on January l. This not only ap-
piled to the 400" but even to per-
sons of moderate means, and, Of
course. refreshments were always
served, generally including wines,
eggnog and liquors Of various de-
scriptions. Many of our best peo-
pie took this opportunity to make
annual calls on their friends, and
as absence makes the heart grow
fonder, so were they all welcome
wherever they went. Many resi-
dents who did not indulge in in
toxicantS served ice cream and
other things as substitutes, for
Washington then had its temper
