Rappaport and others to shoulder the burden of raising the amount required to maintain thirty-nine relief, welfare and character building agencies foi the coming year. •"We might as well raise It right here,” declared Mr. Landon. “because the business men of this community have got to pay It, and we are going to pry this money loose if It takes three months.” LABORING MEN GIVE 12 PER CENT.

FIRMS TO FEEL IT SHOULD U. S. SCRAP VESSELS More Than 1,000 American Manufacturers Directly Affected Through Contracts. NO COMPLAINTS HEARD By RALPH F. COUCH. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—A Government market worth more than $1,000,000,000 to American manufacturers and builders alone during the next ten years will be blotted out If Great Britain and Japan accept Secretary of State Hughes’ proposal for a naval holiday. Estimates by some Government officials are much higher. That American manufacturers and business men generally would cheerfully submit to the destruction of this market to benefit the great majority of people of the United States and throughout the world is regarded by Government officials as a foregone conclusion. In here laying out the potential loss to one group of American business men from the adoption of the American proposal there Is no Intention to '"veigh against the adoption of that pr* jsal. Rather, it is intended to line out -he extent of the sacrifice that business men t ould be called to make and call attention to the fact that they stand ready as one element of the American citizenship to Join the Nation In making the common secrifice for the welfare of humanity. Upward of 1,000 concerns now have contracts with the Government In connection with the construction, begun or projected, of war vessels and arms. The Governmen last year dispensed more than SBOO,000,000 in connection with its naval building program. t The number of men who would be employed in the United States during the next three or four years in connection with the naval building program cannot be estimated. The construction of a battleship requires enormous quantities of steel. It cannot be denied ihat the steel industry would feel the effects of any International naval holiday. Some other lines of manufacturing that would be affected are electrical, wood furnishing, upholstering, scientific instrument manufacturers, and manufacturers of steel cables, anchors, tools and naval engines. There is no attempt on the part of official Washington to minimize the cost to business of the proposed naval holiday. But, on the other hand, it is desired that the real facts be made known so that these facts cannot be distorted. POINT TO ; BRIGHT SIDE.

American economic experts are ready to point out a bright side to the picture. First, they believe American business men resourceful enough to find anew market. Naval appropriations could be reduced from 25 to 40 per cent In the United States alone, it is estimated. This means a big slash In tax collections. It also makes more nearly possible the long desired elimination of taxes on business. With the naval holiday actually an international policy, It would mean for the United States the removal of all remaining Justification for the existence of the excess-profits tax. Reduced tax collections, of course, mean more money in tte average American pocketbook and more spending. The American Navy last year cost more than $6 for each resident of the United States. Lighten the burden of the individual taxpayer in Europe and the Far East and the principal nations of the world will come again into the world markets for goods. In the opinion of American delegates to the limitation of armament conference. This is their answer to the complaint that American business wtll suffer a big loss. Worldwide economic depression will disappear, it is urged. Any setback which business and manufacturing might feel as the result of a stoppage of war orders would be but temporary. The period of readjustment would be short. And business men and manufacturers would reap a harvest of peace orders which now are being held back by the need of great navies.—Copyright, 1921, by Fublic Ledger Company.

Turn your faces up stream and be a game fish," he said. “What is the end of a pollywog? A frog! They are usually very green and Just croakers and kickers. Why, they sit on the bank of a stream and you can hear them say ‘Gone to h—l Gone to h—l.” You never saw a frog with his face turned up hill. lie always sits with his face toward the mud ready to dive In.

Queen of Wigglers Says Hubby Is Bum and Raps Dempsey CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—Bee Palmer, originator of the “shimmy,” stopped wiggling her shoulders long enough today to take some digs at her husband, A1 Siegel, and Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion. Siegel Is suing Dempsey for $250,000 for alienation of his wife’s affections. Said Bee of her husband: “A1 Siegel is a cheap piano player whom I picked out of the gutter and married.” Concerning Jack Dempsey, who characterized the suit as the “scheme of two cheap vaudeville performers for publicity,” the blonde Bee said, “It is true I appeared on the stage with Dempsey, but our relations were purely professional. It was not complimentary for me to appear with a prize fighter. They all look alike to me.” QUITS BECAUSE OF SALARY CUT Treasurer of Federation of Farmers Resigns. E. E.

DRYS ASK AID OF BRITAIN TO MAKE U. S. DRY Bryan Declares Volstead Act Fails to Keep Out Foreign Liquor. ‘SUPPLY IS ASTONISHING* WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Dry leaders, moving to keep Imported liquors out of the United States, have proposed to Secretary of State Hughes that this Government, ask Great Britain to help put a stop to smuggling operations from British possessions to this country, it was learned today. William Jennings Bryan, spokesman for the drys, told Secretary Hughes the Volstead law enforcement has failed to reduce the imported liquor supply. Mr. Bryan appealed to Mr. Hughes to initiate discussions with British diplomats, with a view to some arrangement with British authorities that will shut off the whisky supplies coming from British possessions. Hughes hat; Bryan’s plan under consideration. Immediate action is not expected. The move of the drys results from a review of liquor conditions in the United States, revealing an astonishing amount of imported liquors for sale in all localities where there is a demand. Many high officials concluded that smuggling of liquors from the Bahamas and over the Canadian border has become the really serious phase of prohibition, because It is not physically possible for the Government to stop smugglers’ operations. Official reports estimate that scarcely more than onetenth of 1 per cent of the smuggled liquor brought through Atlantic ports and inlets Is detected. Bryan's hopes, it is declared, are that the State Department may obtain an expression of opinion from the British that may favor adoption of a “working arrangement” whereby British authorities may co-operate actively with American officers in checking the smuggling.
