USE OF BOATS
WILL BE taxed
Craft Is Feet In Length and
Propelled by Machinery
Are Affected.

A new tax on the use of boats be-
came effective Feb. l, according to
Arthur D. Reynolds, ST. Paul, collector
of internal revenue. It must be paid
by the owner, bu ntot until the craft
is placed into operation.
The term "boat" means all boats
propelled by machinery. sail or both,
measuring sixteen feet or more in over
all length, owned by a citizen or resi-
dent of the United States.
The payment of the tax viii be evi-
denced by stamps which may be pro-
cured only from offices of collectors of
internal revenue. The stamps are
green in color mad must be affixed
to the boat in such manner as to be
readily visible for inspection by any
internal revenue officer.
In order to procure a stamp, it will
be necessary to make application on
Form 1872, which may be obtained upon
request from the collectors Office. In
StructionS for filling out this form ap-
pear on the back of the blank The
first stamp to be purchased by owners
of boats will cover the period from
February l to June 80, 1912, and will
cost purchasers 5-12 of the yearly tax
rates, which are as follows:
Overall length Is feet or over but
not over % feet, $500
Overall length over % feet but not
over so feet, $1,000
Overall length over so feet but not
over 100 feet, $4,000.
Overall length over 100 feet but
not over $50 feet, $4,000.
Overall length over $50 feet but
not owed 200 feet, $4,000.
Overall length over 200 feet, $4,000.
In determining overall length"
the extreme length of boat should be
used; that is, from the forward side
Of the stem outside the planking or
plating to the aftermost side of the
stern planking or plating, whether
above or below the water line The
should be to the outside
of any planking or plating extending
above the deck, constituting bulwarks.
and to the outside of any forecastle
deck, quarterback, or poop deck ex-
tending beyond the main deck The
length should be taken in a straight
line excluding any sheer there may be
to the deck
The tax is imposed on the use of q
boat and if in any case boat is not
put in use until some time this spring
or coming summer, no tax will attach
until the month in which the first use
of the boat occurs; that is, if boat
is first used in the month of April,
tax would be due for the period from
the first of that month to June 80 fol-
lowing, or for Ia of the yearly rate.
The tax does not apply to boats used
by the United States, a state. or a
political subdivision thereof
Boats used chiefly for trade or for
commercial fishing or boats used with

table, or religious organization exclu-
Sively for furnishing aid, comfort, or
relief TO seamen, or boats used by

Ely Junior college lost at Eveleth,
GOAT, Saturday night in a scoring
spree that gave the scorers writer's
cramp.
At first glance the count looks like
a runaway for the Tigers, but actually
there were only Is points difference,
which isn't so much in college
game.
The only thing wrong at Eveleth
was the way Gene Lorendo, Tiger ace,
hit the bucket in the last half. His
exhibition Melted him 81 points for
an an-tmie NJCC conference record.
But even so, it was by building up
a few points advantage in the last
three periods that Eveleth won. In the
final half Ely was out-pointed 31-26,
and these S points added to the 8
gained in the first half gave Eveleth
its 13-point margin.
VIM. Mills, Ed Grahek, and Tony
Grahek accounted for SO points, and if
Lorendo hadn't put on his super-show,
the final count might have been diff
ferent.

NOW YOU CAN
SEE YOUR VOICE
Bell System Develops Camera To
Take Picture Of Vocal Cords
And Other Rapid Motions

A high-speed motion picture camera
which takes 1000 pictures second is
used in the Bell Telephone Laborator-
les in New York City to study moving
parts of telephone equipment.
When developed, the film can be
projected slowly to reveal details Of
motion which take place too swiftly to
be detected by the human eye.
Stresses, strains and wear can be
minimized and operating defects cor
rected.
The camera is also used to study
the properties of speech, such as fire.
quency of occurrence of various
sounds, pitch and intensity changes,
frequency distribution of energy, and
the Importance Of these and other
characteristics of intelligibility.
The study extends to the mechan-
ism of speech production, especially
action of the vocal cords in general
ing voiced sounds. The high speed
camera photographs the rapidly vi
brating cords up to 1000 exposures
a second. When such pictures are pro-
jected at normal viewing rates of
about 16 frames a second, the motion
of the vocal cords is slowed down by
a factor of $50 to one. Thus, if the
vocal cords are making $50 vibrations
second, they appear to make one
vibration second, so that details of
the motion can be clearly seen. This
compares with a ratio of only five to
one that is used in taking ordinary
news reel slow-motion pictures.
To provide illumination for the pic
lures, powerful light is thrown on
the vocal cords by a small laryngeal
mirror held in the throat. The same
mirror reflects light back from the
vibrating cords to the camera.
The camera Is laboratories devel-
opment. Its film moves continuously
rather than internationally, a small
cube Of optical glass rotating at high
speed between the lens and the film
serving to move the image of the
object at the same rate as the film,
thus rendering the film and the image
stationary with respect to each other.
Effective exposure time for each pic
ture is 100000 second. The film may
be projected with a conventional
l6-millimeter protector.

NON'T 60 visiting your
friends in the country
- this year without taking
your sugar allowance along.
And while you're about it, take
other things, too.
When a young couple buy SUI
burban home they are in for a
delightful experience. The sun
flooded rooms, the privacy, the
garden, the very feeling of own
ing the ground under their feet
and the roof over their heads is
wonderful; it is a feeling all
young persons ought to have.
Perhaps the most enjoyable
phase of it is the opportunity
it offers for hospitality. Bob and
Betsey are enchanted by that extra
bedroom and bathroom. Betsey
puts all sorts of pretty furnishings
in. finishes the bathroom with pink
soap and pink towels, equips the
dressing-table with score of pink
trifies to match its pink bows. She
can't wait for the fun Of having
Martha and David down, and when
they arrive she exultingly announces
that Lydia and Sam, Sonya and Phil
are coming in for lunch the next
day, too.
Costly Hospitality.
II is only after two or three week
ends that Bob and Betsey look at
the bills, look ruefully at each 9TH
er, and add up the bills again. The
cost Of the soft drinks, coffee, but
ter, ice, lemons, ham, soap, laun-
dry work, firewood and telephone
charges that this happy hospitality
represents simply appalls them.
They can't keep 1t up!
But they don't know how to stop
1t. Sundays are hot in town and
their lovely garden isn't very far
away. Out come the friends, to sit
painting under Bob's trees, to pre-
sent the small son and daughter with
seven-dollar snowy lambs or large
complicated games, to hand Betsey
a box of rich candy and to feel that
these gifts entitle them to about
twenty dollars worth of food, drink,
service, rooms and comfort.
Everything else has changed this
year, and it is for visiting friends
to change this, too. When you go
on a weekend visit take things the
Bobs really need, not ridiculous toys
that only bore the children, or candy
that gives everyone prickly heat.
Load up your car with such essen
tials as coffee, split broilers, cases Of
bottled drinks, pounds Of butter,
timed hams, eggs, bread. You'll
find warmer welcome from flushed
little Mrs. Bob than you ever got
before.
This rule obviously doesn't apply
to big establishments, where staff
of servants is kept. The older per-
sons who manage such homes are
prepared for the onslaught upon
their ice-boxes. But TO any couple
of moderate means, living quietly
with no help or part-time help. your

your hosts as well as yourselves.

always sure of your Uelcome?

If not, then here's a tip that
will do much to insure a stand
ing invitation. Don't burden
yourself ,Uith a lot Of expensive,
useless gifts for your host or

they really need. Instead Of some
costly knick-knack for the chill
