Famous Coast Light IL
BACKED Out by the War

PORTLAND, MAINE.-The bril-
liant beam of the famous Portland
Head light which has rendered in
valuable service to mariners enter
ing and departing from Portland
harbor, has been BACKED out by the
war for an indefinite period of time
as a result of a notice which has
been issued to mariners by Capt.
C. G. Roemer, USCG, district coast
guard officer of the first naval dis
trict.
However, the fog light signal will
continue from the Light which was
commissioned January 10, 1871, by
order of President George Washing
ton.
The notice also reported the OPP
erations beginning of the u. S. geo.
detic and coast survey launch Og-
den, which will continue for at least
two weeks, and the launch Mitchell.
The Ogden will be anchored SOC
yards, 302 degrees from Portland
breakwater light and will be en-
gagged in current observations. The
Mitchell will be anchored at various
positions in the harbor and will con-
duct operations completely across it.
Two red shapes will be displayed
on each vessel in daylight hours and
two red lights, suspended vertically,
will mark their positions at night.

POSTWAR SECURITY AND
RECONSTRUCTION

President Roosevelt does not in
tend to wait until the war is over to
win the support of the country for
full American participation in post
war security and reconstruction pro-
grams.
He intends to begin this crusade
in the near future and it is his
hope-and conviction--that the de-
cision of the people will be so clear
that Americas decisive role in the
peace will be secure regardless OF
what political party and what Pres
ident prevail in 1914.
The President forsees a funda-
mental and uncertain political bat
tie to make sure that the United
States does not again seek to achieve
peace for itself by retreating from
the rest of the world after the Axis
has been defeated and that in conse.
Quence he is preparing to exercise
all the leadership at his command
to avert return to narrow nation
alism in American thinking and in
American governmental policy.
He said it should be frankly
understood that humanitarian con
siderations alone do not dictate the
Governments large plant to aid the
smaller and poorer countries but
that everything the United States
does to this end will promote its
own prosperity and reduce the dan
ger of future wars.

VICTORY TAX BEGINS JAN.
UARY list

Beginning January l every en-
Uncle Sam his proportionate share
(Which in no case will be light)
of the formidable job of withhold
ing, collecting and periodically
paying to the Treasury Department
the so-called Victory Tax.
The mechanism of this broadest
of all tax collecting schemes, SPAR
ing only privates in the Army, and
ordinary seamen of the Navy and
other individuals earning less than
1924 annually, was explained by
p. M. Siemers, of the local Office of
the Collector of Internal Revenue.
To all, it means increasing the
cost of doing business, by reason
of the vast amount of paper work
required.
But it's another war job to be
done, and here's what Mr.. Siemers
says it involves:
Every employer is required to
withhold, collect and pay upon all
wages of every employee Except for
agricultural labor, domestic service
and casual labor, ETC. tax of five
per cent of the excess payment of
such wages over the allowable with
holding deduction.
The exact amount to be withheld
is computed upon the excess of the
wages or remuneration over the
amount of the Withholding Deduc-
ton, 1924 for year; $12 in the
case of weekly payments; $24 in the
case of bi-weekly payments; $26 in
the case of semi-monthly payments,
and other payroll periods in pro-
portion.

Our NesU Weapons
Surpass Nazis' Best
Gen. Campbell Halls Work of
NIB Tanks in africa.

SALISBURY, N. C.-The United
States has developed weapons" SUI
perior to the 88-mm. gun which the
Germans are using in the Egyptian
campaign, Maj. Gen. Levin H.
Campbell Jr., chief of army ord
nance, said in an address here.
He did not disclose what the
American weapons were, but de-
clared they were heavier in fire
power, possessed higher muzzle
velocity and carried greater explo-
sive charges than the German cam
non. He said American tanks, type
for type, were superior to anything
the enemy had and possessed heav-
Ter guns, heavier armament and
greater speed.
"A few days ago / saw a pub
lished photograph of a German
Mark w tank, with the explanation
that this tank mounted an 88-mm.
cannon. Doubtless, many readers
were misinformed for the gun which
forms the heavy armament of the
German Mark ~ is low-velocity
75-mm. cannon.
"Our high-velocity 75-mm. guns in
our M-3 medium tanks far and away
out-range the best the Germans
have"
The MSS, called General Grants
by the British, also have been used
against the Germans in Libya and
Egypt.
Tests and experience in warfare
have shown what the American
high-velocity 75-mm. shells can do
to the German medium tanks, said
General Campbell.
''We blast big holes in them at
ranges beyond which their guns can
REACH" he added. 'We can fire
this high velocity 75-mm. gun when
the Ms tank is in motion, which is
more than any enemy tank, what
ever its size, can do"

After the Japanese attacked with
out causing much damage, Lieut..
Frank Gill related, crewmen assem-
bled as usual in the ships store to
buy ice cream cones. Presently,
however, a fire from broken gaso-
line lines fiared up. The storekeep-
er started offering double-header
cones for nickel.
When it became apparent that the
ship would have to be abandoned,
the storekeeper started giving ice
cream away. Some of the boys filled
their tin helmets and ate the cream
as they made their way to the deck
and prepared to go over the side.

The needs of the farmer, as sum
marizeed by Earl c. Smith, Presi-
dent of the Illinois Agricultural AS
sociation, embraces "a program
which assures him a minimum OF
necessary experienced manpower

ton in the market place and assur-
ance that such a program will not
be subject to change periodically at
the will of group of professional
planners, price manipulators, or
price controllers"

NEW OIL LINE BIGGEST EVER
Seven Companies Are Building
24-Inch Pipe From Texas
To Illinois

1t is 551 miles from Longview,
Texas, to Norris City, ILL.,, via the
new pipe line being built to relieve
Eastern and mid-Western oil short
ages, and through every inch of that
distance inside the pipes, men called
swabs crawl on their backs
Technology dubs this line the
big-inch. That's because the pipe is
"a inches in diameter, about twice
the size of any previous oil line. It's
capacity will be 100000 barrels
daily equivalent to the average
daily delivery of $4,000 tank cars.
The swab's job isn't merely to
chase out skunks, squirrels or
snakes. He scours corrosion and
metallic inner projections. He in
ches ahead on a wheel cradle bent
to fit the pipe.
Occasionally he energies with
scorched, smoking clothing and
oaths, after crawling past a still-hot
weld. The pipes are mostly 40-foot
lengths, several being welded to-
gether before swabbing.
After the men, real swab
brushes out dust, Then, until time
for laying, a night-cap is welded
over open ends of the pipe. These
night caps are iron, as big as city
man-hole covers: They lock out
sabotage as well as snakes and
skunks. In the long history of Amer
ica's 100000 miles of pipe lines,
some of the most feared animals
have had two legs.
The Federal Government, owner
of the $4,000, 900 big-inch, is plan
ming this line to endure for CEN
fury. Buried 8 to 16 feet deep, this
endless line of steel is truly half
alive in every inch, even though
this life is minute and unseen. For
one thing, this steel can stretch. Not
merely from heat and cold, but like
stretching your arm. A mile can
stretch more than inches, and this
steel arm extends hundreds of miles,
The pipe could buckle like the
humping back of snake if the un-
seen stretch was not taken out as
the pipe is lowered into the trench.
|. The pipe is welded and prepared
alongside the endless trench which
goes, in an almost straight line,
through swamps, over hills and
mountains, across rivers, where the
work is done on line of barges.
The pipe grows like snake, the
front end stretching about forty
feet ahead with addition of each
welded-on length.
1t is lowered into the trench much
as a nendless snake might be, with
the foremost section curving up out
of the ground to rest alongside the
trench.
When the big-inch is completed,
the oil starting at Longview, Texas,
will require about twenty days to
reach Pennsylvania, 1408 miles dis
tant. The pipe will hold 300 bar
rels of oil in every mile. The oil
will move at about three miles an
hour. That will be around four feet
second, which is lot of speed for
a stream two feet thick
