whether or not he wanted to be pro-

Flavoring the scraps with some sort

Lamb and veal bones still may be
secured, although beef bones are almost
impossible to find at this time.
These are good for dogs to gnaw and
may be cooked with vegetables for both
dogs and cats.
Beef and lentils make a great dish for
dogs and cats.
Often the most fincky cats will eat this
preparation.
picked Off may be cooked and the meat
picked off. This makes a good meal for
a cat.
Care must be taken to guard cats from
small lamb and chicken bones. Smaller
dogs are in some danger from lamb
bones.
Since beef is not to be had for such
purposes. except by saving it from the
family dinner, lamb may be cooked with
lentils.
Frozen horse meat may be purchased

Double Tuxution Threat

The Census Bureau workers who
have been transferred to the new
buildings at Suitland, Md, are rails
ing very interesting and poten-
TALLY very important point in their
organized effort to resist payment of
State income taxes to Maryland.
Maryland taxes it's residents as
we'll as the incomes which are earned
in Maryland by those living beyond
its boundaries. Most of the States
including Virginia-follow the same
practice and allow credit for taxes
paid in other Jurisdictions. The Dis
trict tax on the other hand. applies
only to those who are domiciled in
the District and contains no reci-
procity provision.
The prospect faced by the census
workers moved to Suitland is the
payment of a District tax, which is
lower than the Maryland tax, and
the payment of Maryland tax with
credit allowed for the District taxa
net increase of possibly 100 per cent
in the low brackets. Maryland evil
IDENTIFY has been lenient in the past in
it's enforcement of the tax on Govern
ment employees living in Washington,
as it is understood that no effort
has been made to collect Maryland
income taxes from social security
workers who live in the District but
work in Baltimore. On the other
hand, it is said that some residents
of the District whose offices are at
Beltsville pay the Maryland tax.
The subject, of course, is important
now because of the rapid extension
of Federal Offices to the adjacent
counties in Maryland and Virginia.
If Virginia and Maryland should
choose to make an effort to collect
income taxes from these workers, an
obvious inequity would arise. For the
District of Columbia law exempts
from local income taxation the
thousands of Marylanders and Vir-
ginians who earn their incomes in
the District.
These census workers. and others
who may find themselves in a COM
parable situation. already have been
subjected to great inconvenience and
higher fares because of inadequate
transportation facilities to Suitland.
This threat now of an additional tax
makes it all the more necessary that
the Federal Government take steps
to protect their interests. There has
been an evident lack of any co-ordi-
mated plan looking to their welfare,
no organized effort to provide them
with cheap, convenient public trans
portation. The OPA has informed
them that they are not essential to
the war effort and they therefore are
deprived of additional gasoline and
tire allowances and on top of all that
they face the threat of double tax
alton.

No News Is Good News

A fascinating study in abnormal
psychology is presented by re-
markable series of radio and press
releases by Domei of Japan-a series
of releases beginning at the Coral
Sea and ending, temporarily, last
week. The Coral Sea fracas was first
described as fairly important Japa-
nese success, then transformed into
a smashing victory which virtually
annihilated the American Navy, re-
ducing it to a fourth-class power.
Time marched on, till the Midway
f1asco. Nothing daunted, Domei
awarded that round to Japan, but
cleverly prepared for the future by
announcing that from now on Amer
lea was no better than a third-class
naval power. Then came Guadalca-
nal-another overwhelming Nippon
csc victory, according to Domei,
which triumphantly announced that
the beginning of the end was near,
due to such terrible losses suffered by
the United States that 1t was no bet
ter than second-class power.
This leaves room, fundamentally,
for another big Jap victory; but
would it be worth the price? Accord
ing to form, one more defeat suf-
fered by America would transform it
into a f1rst-class power. This, Of
course, must be avoided at all costs.
The simplest way to avoid 1t would
be to have no more Jap victories, or
at least none too big to swallow
comfortably. The Japanese, how
ever, seem not to think in simple
terms. Is 1t possible that we may
soon look forward to a supreme COM
pliment from Domei. by being voted
first-class naval power as the result
of another defeat?

kronstudt

Associated Press reports from Mos
COW tell that, more than year after
it first was attacked by the Germans,
the fortress of Kronstadt still is re-
turning their fire. This means that
the narrow channel leading from the
Gulf of Finland to Leningrad re-
mains in Russian hands. 1t also
signifies that the chief northern
naval base of the Soviet Union has
justified the faith of its makers,
beginning with Peter the Great, who
was its original sponsor
Nature, however, is entitled to some
of the credit for Kronstadt's survival.
The citadel stands on the height of
the long, narrow and rocky island
of Kotlin, taken from the SWedes in
1903. 1t did not receive its present
name until 1923 and up to that date
was known principally asa CONNER
cial harbor where goods were trans
shipped for st. Petersburg.
At the start the plan of the whole
project was fortunate. Peter custo-
marily visioned things in prodigious
dimensions. He ordered the streets
made wide, the docks and basins built
large. There are three separate
Ravens, one of which alone is capable
of accommodating thousand YES
sells. From 1856 to 1871 and again
since 1917, when the revolutionists
overthrow the imperial system and
set up the modern communist ad-
ministration, vast programs of ex-
pansion have been far advanced.
Few outsiders" have been permitted
to visit Kronstadt in recent years.
The war harbor, naval arsenal, can
non foundry and navigation school
have been closed to strangers. Even
the number of persons allowed to
reside on the island is limited.
The prevailing war is not the first
test the fortress has been subjected
to. In the autumn 6f 1919 Kronstadt
was bombarded from the air by White
Army flyers under General Yudenich.
A mutiny in March, 1921, resulted in
another Smelling Of important por-
tions OF the bastion. On both occa-
sions the fortress proved its powers
