CONFERENCE
ON POLL TAX
SCHEDULED

A national conference to launch a
vigorous and successful campaign to
abolish the poll tax in this session
of congress will be held March 9th
in Washington, D. c., the National
Committee to Abolish the Poll Tax
announced today. Leaders of nation
al organizations of labor, church, ne
gro, women and civic groups will be
invited to send representatives 1t is
also expected that key regional peo-
pie will also attend to work out spe-
cific plans for carrying on the fight
state by state and district by dis
trict
Abolition of the poll tax is a prime
wartime task, for the poll tax is an
obstacle to victory. In a war for de-
mocracy, all the American people
must have the basic democratic right
to vote-without a price tag attached.
Ten million people in the south can
not vote because they are too poor to
afford that privilege This condition
permits poll tax congressman and
senators to be elected and reelected
" OlllCS ny d SIldll minority OF the
people and through seniority are now
chairmen of the most important COM
mittees in congress.
In the recent filibuster in the SEN
ate it became clear that the fight
against poll tax repeal is the begin
ming of the reactionary drive against
all measures of the security of the
people, and therefore against the sue
cessful prosecution of the war. The
poll takers are the spearhead of re-
action. The American epople will not
tolerate obstruction of our war effort
The poll tax is an obstacle to victory
and will be abolished in this session
of congress.
Abolition of the poll tax will require
effective organized action. The ma
tional conference March 9th will be
working conference with the pur-
pose of securing maximum support be-
hind the fight. The second day of
the conference will be devoted to
visiting congressman to secure their
signatures to the discharge petition
on the house bill and pledges of sup
port for early passage of the bill.

"The fact that it is cooperative and
procures services and facilities on
behalf of its members only does not
remove its activities from the sphere
of business" Justice Roberts declared.
Group Health Association has been
growing steadily during the period of
litigation. 1t now has approximately
$500 members, who, with their fam
lilies, include 5000 people covered by

II doctors, operates a pharmacy and
has complete X-ray and laboratory

regionals because of shortages in food
stuffs, electrical appliances, steel
products and petroleum.
Eastern Cooperative Wholesale,
Brooklyn, N. Y, which serves 23O

sales volume of $2,763,OO0 gain of
31% over it's previous high record in
1911 ECW estimates that the sales
volumes of local co-ops associated
with it, who own their own wholesale,
amounted to $9,400,000 in the year
just ended. Eastern Coop Whole

under ten times the volume in 1886.
The Consumers Cooperative Asso-
citation with headquarters in North
Kansas City, Missouri, owned by 500
local co-operatives in nine midwest
ern states, completed it's fiscal year in
August. At that time it reported a
sales volume of $14,826,585, 47% high

CORPORATION
PROFITS HUGE,
STUDY SHOWS

Profit statements of 10 of the larg-
est industrial corporations verified by
a study made by the Office of Price
Administration, showed that General
Motors while showing the greatest net
profit after taxes for nine months of
operation last year, but the smallest
increase over peace-time profits of all
of the 10.
While the General Motors produc-
ton of automobiles was reduced to
parison with before-the-war produc-
ton, it nevertheless showed profits
of $146,074,000 for the first nine
months of 1912, a profit rate six per
cent above the average yearly profit
from 1886 to 1889. The profits shown,
is the sum remaining after deduction
of all salaries, bonuses and taxes.
New York Shipbuilding Corporation
made 25 times more in 1871 than it
did in the average year from 1886 to
1899; Curtiss Wright, Douglas and
Lockheed 10 times their average dur
ing the same period average. Beth
lehem Steel Corporation in the first
nine months of 1912 made a profit of
$40, 656,000 or rate of profit SO times
in excess of it's yearly average be-
fore the war.
Martin Aircraft in the first nine
months of 1912, reached a rate of
profit 1886 per cent over its yearly
peace-time average, and the United
Aircraft increased its profits 169 per
cent last year, using it's report of
profits for the first nine months as
basis
Anticipation of heavier taxes than
finally approved, caused many of the
corporations to set aside greater sums
than necessary during the first half
of the year and yet more than 100 of
the corporations studied by the OPA
showed increases in profits.

Exceptional

part have no opportunity to function
and are lost to society.
To correct all this, Mrs. Peterson
proposes to make education do what
lit ought in democratic state. She
asks the legislature to create the Of
flee of State Supervisor of the Ex-
ceptional Child. This child she de-
fines as one who differs so far from
the average as to require special edu-
cational methods and course of study.
Such a supervisor will direct and
guide the intellectual growth of these
children by deyising ways to meet
their needs both as to educational
method and course of study.
Mrs. Peterson's bill defines the
qualifications of the supervisor as
follows: The supervisor shall be
graduate of a four-year accredited in
stitution of higher learning and in adj
dition he shall hold a masters degree
representing at least one year of post
graduate training in the field of ex-
ceptional child care, guidance and
testing, and furthermore, he shall
have had at least two years expert
ence in this work.
Sufficient legal power already ex-
ists,' says Mrs. Peterson, for doing
almost all that is necessary for the
care of the exceptional child" What
her bill undertakes to supply is super
vision and direction from the State
Department of Public instruction.
Upon any school or school district
provisions of this bill are optional and
not mandatory.
Mrs. Peterson is the@ only woman
member of the legislature. She has
background in the fields of medicine
and social work. and in the care of
the exceptional child. She is the
mother of two children.

DRIPPING FLUSH TANK

Question: Water drips from my
flush tank day and night. We are
told it is from condensation, for there
is no leak. How can the dripping be
stopped?
Answer: Your water supply is ev-
identity very cold, so that the flush
tank becomes chilled; condensation
results when warm and damp air is
cooled by the contact. Usually, the
dripping will not last more than an
hour or two after each filling of
the tank, for the fresh thankful quick
ly loses its chill. If the dripping
continues, it is because of a leak in
the tank by which the thankful of wa
ter is kept at it's low temperature.
The leak can be stopped by put
ting in a new inlet washer or re-
pairing the outlet of the tank.

eye must be born anew" is as
true in modern psychology as in
traditional theology. Every resent
ment that you encourage, every
grudge, every dependency, every
SNUG conceit-and on the other
hand every self-mastery, every
high fortitude, every facing of
naked truth-makes either for
breaking down the self or for
building it up.
For mental self-command-the
habit of constructive thought
direction-is more important for a
wholesome life than physical
soundness.- Winfred Rhoades.

Justice Holmes Reply

Justice Holmes replied as fol-
lows to the tribute of the other
members of the Supreme court
upon his retirement:
"My dear brethren: You must
let me call you so once more. Your
more than kind, your generous let
ter touches me to the bottom of
my heart. The long and intimate
association with men who so COM
mand my respect and admiration
could not but fix my affection as
well. For such little time as may
be left for me I shall treasure it
as adding gold to the sunset"

When armored knights met, it
was customary for each knight to
raise the visor of his helmet as
means of Identification. This ges-
ture has come down through all
armies in the form of the salute.
Traditional, too, is the Army mans
preference for Camel cigarettes.
With men in the Army, Navy, Ma
rines, and Coast Guard, actual
sales records in their service
stores show that Camel is the
favorite. It's one of the favorite
gifts with service men. And though
there are Post Office restrictions
on packages to overseas Army
men, you can still send Camels to
soldiers in the U. S., and to men
in the Navy, Marines, and Coast
Guard wherever they are.-Adv.

Space for Coal Bin

Question: What should be the
height, length and width of box
I wish to make to hold one ton Of
stove coal? I feel sure that I have
not received my full quota.
Answer: One ton of coal takes UP
about So cubic feet, but this is only
an average; the dimension varies.
A box measuring by 3 feet by
feet high should hold ton.

Gas Range

Question: I have had gas range
for about three years, but have
found it unsatisfactory for baking.
A mechanic who inspected it for a
leak says that it is not getting
enough air because it is too close to
the back and side walls. Before
having it moved I'd like your opin-
ion on whether greater air circula-
ton will make it better for baking.
Answer: I hardly think SO; for
the trouble is very evidently in the
adjustment of the burners. Ask the
gas company to send an engineer to
make an inspection. He will make
tests to learn the cause Of the trou-
BILE and will correct it.

Septic Tank Care

Question: In my summer home I
drain my plumbing in the fall and
fill the traps with kerosene. In the
spring I let the kerosene drain off
into the septic tank. But a friend
says that this may affect the bac-
terial reaction there. Is this so?
Answer: Yes, it is true, but can
be corrected. Drain off plenty of
water to flush the tank. Then dis
solve six yeast cakes in tepid wa
ter in wash basin and let it drain
down into the septic tank. This will
start up the bacterial action. Re-
peat in a week.

Drain Cleaners

Question: A plumber tells me that
I should not clean a clogged drain
with chemical; for later it may
become clogged in the pipes. Is
this so?
Answer: Drain cleaners are either
caustic potash or caustic soda. Caus-
tic potash in boiling water converts
the grease in the pipe to soft soap,
which washes away. Caustic soda,
on the other hand, combines with
grease to form compound that is
nearly insoluble. It is probably this
to which the plumber refers. The
label of the can should state the
formula used.
