Alaska SS. And Rivers Battle Over Income Tax Law

SEATTLE, C4) - The Alaska Steamship company Wednesday denied a reported assertion by Alaska attorney general Ralph Rivers that the company did not ask proper Alaska authorities for an opinion on the new Terri .orial income tax law.
 F. A. Zeusler, executive assist ant to the president issued a state ment declaring that Rivers as serted charge was mot consistent with the contents of the law, nor with the substance of the commit nications had with his office"
 Zeusler's statement outlined an exchange of messages between the company, its agents, various Territorial officials and the attor- ney general himself, concluding:
 we were under the impression that attorney general Rivers was the proper Alaska authority. So far we have been unsuccessful in obtaining a definite decision from him. Under the circumstances we have been obliged to comply with the clear letter of he law rather than subject ourselves to the pen alties prescribed for lack of ob- servance, and we shall continue to do so until there is proper au- thority for doing otherwise
 The controversy arose after Alaska ship union members pro- tested withholding of Alaska taxes from their wages by the steamship line. A federal court case to test constitutionality of the law as it affects merchant sea- men is pending in Seattle.

Alabama's Mental
Patients Get Equal
Treatment

BIRMINGHAM - amp - AL
though Alabama and other southern
states are noted for their biased and
inequality of treatment accorded
Negroes, Alabama stands out as an
exception in one phase - the care
of the mentally i'll. Though facili-
ties are separate, there is no discrim-
ination in provisions made for
White and Negro patients, and the
care given both races is good.
Alabama has two mental hospitals
Searcy at Mt. Vernon in Mobile
county, where mentally-ill Negroes
are sent, and Bryce hospital, for
Whites.
Searcy occupies 35 acres of land,
and is enclosed by a long brick wall
averaging 16 feet in height and two
feet thick. The land was once the
site of the Mt. Vernon Barracks mill
tary reservation, and the hospital
was named after DR.. James T.
Searcy, White, then superintendent
of state hospitals. Prior to that, Ne
gro patients had been kept at Bryce
The hospital has 1854 patients,
S36 of whom are men. Some are
housed in old structures which were
built in the days of the army bar

Sometimes we say, LAS green a
grass" but the saying is good only
to certain extent. Grass on lawns
usually is green, but the grass family
includes many hundreds of kinds of
grass. The world contains about
4,700 kinds and many of these are
yellow or some other color than
green.
The grass family contains plants
which we might not, at first, think
of as grass, among them wheat, corn
sugar cane, barley, bamboo, rice,
hay, rye and oats. The tallest OF
all grass plants is bamboo. 1t often
grows to a height of more than 60
feet and sometimes reaches 120 feet.
Seeds Of grain grass are Of great
value as food. Men eat them the
world over and at harvest time they
reap hundreds of millions of bushels
of grain.
Among the other kinds of grass
are spear-grass, vernal-grass, mead
ow foxtail, velvet grass, hair-grass,
rattlesnake grass, yellow foxtail,
northern dropseed, creek sedge,
poverty grass, beard-grass, panic
grass, redtop and white-grass.
The reeds which We see in marshes
also belong to the grass family.

old hat and I will change it into a
new hat" The teacher gave him her
hat and he shut it up in hat box
and shook it and mumbled over it.
But he hadn't studied that trick very
carefully because when he opened
the box there was no new hat nor old
hat either. He never did find either
hat. The teacher was mad and
would not let him come to school
any more.
He didn't care. He just went or
studying magic. When he grew up
he called himself Mr.. Dilly the
Magician, and travelled all over the
country putting on magic shows.
Unfortunately, he was never q
great success. This is why: He was
never able to pull rabbit out OF
his hat.
Everywhere he went to put an a
show he was laughed at and some
times even chased out of town when
his audience found he could not
produce q rabbit. Because what

this trick that almost any old
magician can do?
An Impatient Audience.
One December day he came to a
certain town and put on a special
Christmas magic show. Quite a lot
Eof people came to his tent to see
him. He did his very best tricks.
First he took piece of rope that
looked like any clothesline. He
waved his wand and threw one end
of the rope in the air. Strangely
the rope stood stiff, like stick
one end on the floor and the other
end seeming to go right through the
top of the tent.
Then Mr.. Dilly did his smoke
trick. He mixed some powders and
liquids and made a big ball OF
smoke, bigger than himself. He
bounced 1t around the platform.
Next he did his scarf trick. II
looked like regular scarf but
when Mr.. Dilly unwound it from
his neck it got longer and longer
and longer and turned from red to
yellow to green to purple.
Finally he did his Christmas tree
trick. He took a little fir tree and
waved his wand and said magic
words. Suddenly the little tree was
covered with red and blue balls and
silver stars and strips of tinsel and
flakes of snow.
The audience thought these tricks
fine. But presently they began call
ing, Get us rabbit out of your
kat!"
So Mr.. Dilly took off his hat and
said some magic words. But no
rabbit came out. He tried 1t again.
Still no rabbit.
Boy Tells About Pet Duck.
The audience laughed at him and
went away saying he was fake
magician who couldn't even get a
rabbit out of his hat. Mr.. Dilly
sat down feeling very sad because
that was the way his shows always
ended.
Presently a little boy crept up
beside him. He had been sitting
in the last row in the tent and
stayed behind when all the others
left.
did you stay behind to laugh at
me?" asked Mr.. Dilly wearily.
"Oh, no." said the boy. Il am
Henry. I have a talking duck"
Talking duck!" said Mr.. Dilly
How do you do that?'
II don't do It," said Henry. Its
not a trick. She just talks and I
thought-wen, maybe you could
teach her to come out of your hat
instead of rabbit"
"Well!" said Mr.. Dilly, greatly
cheered. THAT might solve all my
troubles! Let us see your duck"
And he and Henry went hand-in-
hand out of the tent.
Merit: Henry and Mr.. Dtlly
join forces.
