LABOR OPPOSES U. S. TAX REPEALS Protests Against Excess Profits and Surtax Cuts. WASHINGTON, July 27—Charging that the "great corporations and the wealthy are trying to shift the box den of taxation on those less able to poy," the American Federation of Labor today filed a protest against repeal of the excess profits tax or reduction of income surtaxes with the House Ways and Means Committee. E. C. McGrady appeared in behalf of the Federation and said that his organization favored an increased Inheritance tax and higher taxes on land values, undeveloped property and natural resources. Taxation upon a basis of spending and the purchase tax were taken up for consideration by the committee. The spenders' tax was advocated by Representative Mills, New York, and the purchase tax by C. P. Landreth, of Philadelphia. The sales tax, advocated by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, and other organizations, has been laid away in the committee pigeon hole for the present. The committee has decided against consumption taxes at this time, although the sales tax plan will certainly be brought to the fore if an attempt is made to jam the soldier bonus bill through Congress in December.

Credit Dealers in Close- Up View of ‘ Human Nature’ General Public Honest , but Some Exceptions Found to This Rule.

By MABEL WHEELER. “Five dollars down and two a week,” sounds like a simple easy way of buying household furnishings, but credit men in local shops say there Is many ( a slip between the first $5 and the last two. and there Is sufficient time for complications of all species to anse. They say that the novelty of the situation begins to wear off as the furniture begins to get old and the changing seasons call for either Ice or coal, or new clothes. There are hard luck tales of all descriptions told to the credrt men and collectors, they get a mixture of pathos and humor in the series of incidents that make up their dally round of work. fine credit manager in one of the leading local houses says that the public in general is honest. He says he believes the average buyer wishes to pay for what he gets and fully intends to do so, although. of course, now and then there Is a deliberate attempt at “doing" the company. ONE INSTANCE OF “DOING" THE COMPANY. He tells of one instance where the mail bought a phonograph, made a small payment and took it home after he talked earnestly of his fondness for music and spent an hour or so poring over the library of records. He never came back to make another payment and after a reasonable length of time the collector went to his house and behold, there was no one there by that name, nor did anyone know his whereabouts. Inquiry was made among the neighbors, who said the day aft“r he bought the Instrument a second-hand dealer in anew sedan of the well-known lightweight variety, came and took It away, the owner of the phonograph leaving soon after that for residence in some other city. They looked up second-hand dealers owning that tvpe of car and the first one visited had the talking machine Os course, it was taken back and It may be that sec-ond-hand man is still searching for the culprit. A pathetic incident that he mentioned was that of a negress who had bought a few of the dire necessities in household furniture, had paid up regularly for a while and then failed utterly. Finally, after repeated letters had been sent and calls from her. the manager himself went out to investigate and found the woman's hard lucN tale to be true. There was nothing to eat, the children, a half dozen or more, were barely clothed, the man had abandoned his family, and the mother, who was not in good health, was trying to get along on her very meagre earnings. She said that she was going to pay a little every week though, for she wished to be out of debt, and he agreed, promising to tide her over any crisis until she couid pay for the goods. PITIFUL STORY AND OUTCOME. A credit man tells of one young chap who bought about a thousand dollars worth of stuff, paid a snbwantial sum down and thpn kept up his Installments regularly until It was about half paid out and then he came In with a pitiful story, after missing a few weeks. He said that the children were sick causing

Weak, Thin Folks Heed Phosphate Says Dr. Kolie Dr. Frederic S. Kolle. the New York author of medical text books, whose opinions are greatly valued, writes: “When the nerve tissue begins to lose .ts vitality, woman begins so lose her youth and vivaciousness She becomes irritable, moody and despondent. It would be a Godsend if more weak, thin, nervous men and women were aware of the efficacy of Bitro-Phosphate.'' Thousands of thin, run-down people whose nervous energy is nearly exhausted are turning to Bitro-Phosphate as dispensed by Hook's Drug Stores and other leading druggists, because it helps to revitaiu? the nerves, increase bodily weight and bring back energy and mental keenness. CAPTION Although Bitro-Phosphate Is an excellent aid in relieving wesik. nervous conditions. Us nse Is not advised unless Increased weight Is desired.—Advertisement.

great doctor bills, taxes had to be mid, bis wife had to be operated on and that he was Just desperate; that they could hardly pay their grocery bills, had lu •fact cut oat anything but the plainest food and were skimping on that. “We felt sorry for the chap and told him just to fake his time and we would tide him over his rough streak," said the uiaragcr. “In fact I was prepared to loan nlm some money for the sake of his poor wife and children, lie was so evidently cut-up over it But thnt afternoon. 1 saw him and his family dolled up like a million dollars, step out of a good-sized automobile and go Into a theater. The box office man said they came every week and sat In a box. So you see you can’t always tell.” Family troubles figure in the credit moi’s dealings with bis customers. One rather humorous incident was that of a couple who bought a large bill of goods and about the time it was half paid the husband called up and said for them not to take any payments from any one but himself, as he nnd his wife had separated and the furniture belonged to him. He had hardly hung up tho receiver until the wife called up with tho same order. The result of the whole affair was that the house had to take (he goods back to settle the argument. Frequently the buyer, after paying but part on his purchases, wilt move to some o.her city, taking his family and possessions wtth him. In one case a family m< ved to Honolulu with a gencroua portion of a credit house's possessions, lea *ing no word as to the new place of residence, but after several months of sleuthing the runaways were discovered living in luxurious style. The money was collected. C\fiE OF MINISTER AND TRAVELING BAG. Another instance of the disappearing debtor was that of a minister who purchased a traveling bag on time. It would seem that a traveling bag would be a risky article to sell "now and then" fashion, but nevertheless It whs taken from the shop after a small payment, which was the first., last and only amount applied. Minister, bag and traces of both seemed to have been completely wiped off the map, according to Investigation by the authorities. But while holding an evangelistic service in some small town near Chicago he find the fatal bag were discovered, but owing to the meagerness of the collections at that time, he said he would have to let the bag go, which after several months of traveling was slightly the worse tor wear. “But," one experienced credit head

says. “I never admit that a man Is wilfully dishonest until I have absolute proof. Why, I remember one man who bought a stove. Well they simply paid a small payment on it and didn't come hack again. They told the collector a pitiful poverty talc, which he was inclined to doubt, but I went out one day to see for myself. Some way the fellow had Impressed me as being an earnest, honest person. I found that he hadn't even put the stove up. they hadn't bought any pipe, saying they had old pipe that they could use. They had never had a fire in it, in spite of the winter weather, and the inan was laid off and the wife was almost gone with tuberculosis. They were the right kind of folk, though, and I sent out pipe and a man to put up the stove, bought 'em some coal, found the man a Job around the store, and. I'll tell you. I was paid every cent of that raouey back aed they are in couifortuble circumstances now.

THINGS UNUSUAL IN ROUGH RICE Methods of Cultivation Account for Strange Objects. WASHINGTON, July 27 -Some re markable and unattractive finds of foreign material In rough rice has been re ported to the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture, by one of Its agents In the field who had been studying that crop. “U Is not at all uncommon." he says In its report, "for n large percentage to consist of dead snakes, crayfish bodfes, mud lumps and Insect and beetle carcasses. with an occasional llazrd present. The presence of most of these foreign objects is due no doubt in a largo measure to the methods of cultivation and harvesting of rice. “During most of the growing season water is kept on the fields and even when the water is drawn off the ground remains damp, which conditions are I leal for the breeding and development of aquatic or scmiaqnatlc animals, reptiles and insects. When the rice is cut nnd shocked the snakes and crayfish crawl into the bundles and some of them find their wsy into the rice sacks Instead of the straw pile when the rice is thrashed." The Inspection service maintained by the department effectually prevents this foreign material from getting into the channels of commerce.

SOLON TELLS OF MURDER THREAT Senator Barbour of Illinois Says $5,000 Is Demanded. CHICAGO, July 27.—A plot to murder State Senator James J. Barbour unless he paid $5,000 to the conspirators, was revealed by the Senator today, while he was in the Federal bu'lding arranging bail for "Big Tim” Murphy. Indicted in the Dearborn street mail pouch robbery. Senator Barbour, who is counsel for “Big Tim,” said the plot was made known a week ago to Mrs. Barbour, his wife, and that she is now' a highly nervous condition in Canada, where he took her to get away from the plotters. The Senator said he was nnable to account for the death threat. He was counsel for .Tames Vinci, acquitted in the murder of “Mossy" Enright, Chicago gunman. He said, however, he shouldn't be threatened In connection with that case. * Secret service men and detectives are working In the supposed “blackhand plot."

SOUTHERN SPUD PUT ON SCREEN Film Sweet Potato, Storehouse to Market. WASHINGTON, July 27.—The rapid deterioration of sweet potatoes let ween the time they arc dug and the day they reach the consumer can be checked in several ways, say specialists of the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture. To show right methods of handling this perishable product anew mo-tion-picture film. “Sweet Potatoes From Storehouse to Market,” has been prepared under the supervision of the bureau. Since storage Is essential if the grocer is to sell to advantage, wrong and right ways of storing are shown first. When the bank or pit method is used the loss due to decay runs from 30 to 73 per cent. When the potatoes tire properly cured In a good storage house, carefully handled at all stages to prevent bruising, and kept at the right temperatures -SO degrees F. while curing, 30 degrees F. afterward—tUo loss may be less than 3 per cent. The film shows first a model storage house of frame construction on concrete pillars, w ith details of walls, roofing, ventilation, and heating. Them the potatoes are seen stored, to be later shipped in crates, not In bulk, after a preliminary grading. Inside views of a regular storage house show the details of each stage in the progress of the sweet potato crates, which arc finally loaded on a refrigerator Car for shipment. An inspector certifies the state of the car, and the last detail Is the bracing ox the ‘-rates to prevent their slipping. The damage caused by failure to brace a shipment property closes the story. While the motion pictures prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture are Intended primarily for the use of extension and field workers, nr rangemeuts may sometimes be made to borrow them or to buy copies at approximately S4O a reel of 1,000 feet, upon application to the Department of Agriculture.

CHICAGO, July 27.—A wife’s failure to use a lipstick has wrecked many a happy home.

VAN SICKLE IS OFF SLACKER LIST War Department Explains How Record Was Made Up. The name of Marlon C. Van Sickle, mounted policeman, has been removed from the Army slacker lists, according to a letter received by Fderelck Van Nuys, United States district attorney, from the War Department today. Van Sickle enlisted April 17, 1918, and served throughout the war as a member of the Rainbow Division. He was discharged May 9, 1919. When his name appeared on a slacker list several weeks ago he appealed to Mr. t an Nuys to take the matter up with the War Department tn an effort to clear his record. The letter received l y Mr. Van Nuys says Van Sickle’s name has been removed from the slacker list and gives the following explanation as to how It got on it: "It seems a notice was sent to ‘Christian Marion Van Sickle' to report to the adjutant general of Indiana not later than April 6, 1918, and no answer ever was received. The War Department says 'Christian Marion Van Sickle' and Marion C. Van Sickle are the same person, and that as soon us the attention of the department was called to this fact the name of Christian C. Van Sickle was taken from the slacker list.” ‘Monna Vanna’ Staged Remainder of Week Announcement was made today by Stuart Walker that "Monna Vanna" will be presented for the remainder of the week at the Murat. It was first intended to change the bill tomorrow- and present "Two Kisses" for the last half of the week, but the success of the Maeterlinck play has induced Mr. Walker to continue it throughout the week.

When reminded that the recent world's convention of Christian Endeavorers had severely and especially criticized the UFe of rouge, Mrs. Baird countered sharply: "Why does goodness have to be ugly?” she inquired. “It Is deplorable that virtue should so often be unattractive. When the really good women pay more attention to making themselves beautiful they will have done much toward getting a better hold on the boys and girls who are growing up.”
