GLIMPSES E .iJMAN NATURE Much That Is lotrresting to Students of Mankind Revealed by incomo Tax Returns. “The proper study of mankind Is man." wrote Alexander Pope, the Env lish poet. Were Pope living today It* would turn to the ernwded hank oi lawyer’s ollice. where Income tax returns are filled out, remarks the I!hI-
tlumre Sun.
There was the young couple, for ex nmple. who made a goodly Income la-i year hy doing without n home. They figured the boom in real estate could he turned to good account by them while they wore young and able to endure Inconveniences. So tln-y bought a little house and moved Into it. Within three weeks they had sold it at an advanced price. They then bought another house and sold It shortly tIktimI ter. They did not live In any one house more than six weeks and. while living in It. the htlsluind painted and repaired, while the wife scrubbed und whitewashed. It wshard work to he sore, but nt the end of the year they had .yS.tNMl profit. There was the young conductor, whose incmie last year was $1,87' and who was heuioiinilig the fact that he wasn't married. "You’re In Im i:." said the Income tax clerk. “It Would he l(nigh to he married In these days of the high com of living on an Income
of $1,875."
rhe smooth faced. red-cheek a’ i young coi.do'lor did not see It that I wav. When lie had finished he walked ! off whistling. In plaintive fashion
"Gee, 1 Wish I Had a Girl.”
One found honesty, too, In people In whom ll was least expected. There j was tla* rneeiraek follower, for exam- ! ptv, who admitted that he made his j living by belting on the horse*, lie figured, he wild, that he had made $5Ti I a week and the Income tax clerk filled out the return that way. The next
meinlng he was buck again.
I “I think I've made a mistake In mv figuring.” he said. “I believe I should have done It this way.” lie showed ! the revised figures to the clerk, hy which his weekly Income was In the
neighborhood of $75 a week.
One poker player frankly admitted ho hud made $000 at the game last year, and the amount was shown In his return, while a fashionably-dressed woman whose Income ran Into the thousands claimed a loss of $1,000 for money lent it friend, although when pressed for detail* regarding the trim suction she blurt* I out: "Oh. that’s not necessary—I | ut it In that wa>
lust year."

Department of Agriculture Statistics Show 21.1CO.OOO on United States Farms on January 1, 1920—Next to Man He Is Most Efficient Power Unit in Existence—Horse Importance Realized. The horse Is coming hack In a Inst struggle to hold his place against the progress of the automobile, tractor, truck und airplane. The department f of agriculture estimates that horses on United States farms Increased from 19,833,000 in 1910 to 21,100,000 on | January 1, 1920. Mules Increased, too, according to the estimates. The Horse Association of America,; with headquarters iu Chicago, pro- 1 poses to encourage the breeding, rear- ' Ing ami use of horses. The association, j which is a nonprofit organization. In-1 corpornted under the laws of Illinois. 1 Is hacked hy horse breeders representing all breeds of horses, hy the sail-1 dlery and harness interests, by tin* horseshoe nmmifnelurers and nnisler 1 Imrseshoers, hy the hay, grain mid feed Interests and hy the carriage and wagon builders of America. Efficiency Next to Man. “The horse is—next to man himself —the most efficient pow er unit In exist- ; e.'u e, delivering more effective motive; energy in proportion to energy eon-j sinned than any other type of motive | (lower unit w hen the work done as a | self repriMlueing. self-repairing organ ] ism. is taken Into account," declared j Wayne Dlnsmore, secretary of the as | soeiatloi). “Millions of horses have worked from the time they were three years old, until they were twelve years nt age without the expenditure of a dol lar for repairs.” Mr. Dlnsmore said, j "The horse carries a reserve powei which lire irm k doesn't have, mill I therefore does not often get stuck In a I tight place like die motor vehicle.” t Mr. Dlnsmore said the horse can dc short-haul work Just ns rapidly ns a Imek and from 25 to -49 per cent cheaper. Duril g the recent snowstorm In New York when every means of moving traffic was said to have failed hut the horse, the Imrseineii declare some mer chums paid as high as $.50 a day lor the nse of the horse. Horse Importance Realized. The government realizes the Impor tam e of the horse. Mr. Dlnsmore said and has sent out tin 11 et Ins encouraging horse breeding. Teamsters and teaming contractors nowadays want large und heavy horses md are w illing to pay for them. They are paying ns high as $800 R.r a team of heavy drafters.

Food Is Short in War District—2.000, 000 Christians in Asia Minor Are Threatened by Massacre—Railway Communication Between Bosporus and the Interior Has Been Cut Off by British. Constantinople Is as much isolated from Asiatic Turkey us if the Atlantic ocean separated them. Railway communication between the Bosporus and Hie Interior has been cut off hy delaehnients of British, who burned the large bridge south of Bilejik. after getting out all their Indian troops which had been guarding the line. British headquarters is in Ismid, ami the protective area Is restricted largely in districts within range of the naval guns. Anatolia is the source of the fond supply of CnlistnuSinople and consequently the prices of meat and vegt*luUles have olrendv doubled. The huge profit taking is not elieeked hy the high commlssloiiers. who niiiiniain the 'ietion ili:11 the Turkish government la fllliet Inning. t'nmiiiiinicatlnn* virtually are sus- ;■ o'Vil and tin* nlllcd newspapers nre ’ lied w ith statements that the Nnlioit.Bist movement has been nipped in the il l.

Turkish lenders who were at Marnsh have arrived In Alntnh and It Is feared another great massacre may oeetir.

Uncertainty As to Future. So far there has been no lighting of any consequence In Thrace, but then* Is great uncertainty ns to what will happen If the I'rench complete their eradiation as planned ami the Greek occupy the region. The French troops are unwilling to light In Thrace, de glaring they w ill not take territory for tin* Bulgarians and Greeks. A delegation of four members of the Turkish chamber are en route to An gora for a conference with Mustnplm Kemal. They were allowed to pass hy |he British passport control and an* expected to return hero In ten Tiny*. Tin* delegation Is composed entirely of Nationalists, hut they are asserted to he anxious to persuade the Nationalist leaders that the Sultan will not support them and tin* movement ennnot succeed unless modified. While the British were repairing the bridge near It le.llk. Nationalists directed a heavy machine gun fire upon them, hut their aim was so had that there was only one casualty. After crossing the bridge the British hattnlions burned it to check the Nutionallsta, whose game seems to he to force the allied troops to pursue them into the Interior and keep up guerilla warfare rather than take the offen-
