The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God; God is not in all his thoughts.—Psalm 10:4. Stretching the Three-Mile Limit THE country is indebted to the good lawyer we in the office of Secretary of State for the decision that we will not attempt to make over international law all by our own selves, in order to enforce the prohibitory laws. Somewhere the open sea begins, where all ships are free, and where the laws of adjacent nations do not apply. It does gravel the officers of the law to see ships bearing liquor anchored four miles off shore defying the statutes in liquor cases made and provided, and one can excuse a yearning on their part to board and arrest and confiscate. But long, long ago international law became fixed as to where our jurisdiction ends. It ends three miles from shore. If we can’t enforce onr laws without aggression on foreign ships in international waters, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves. To violate international waters to enforce a domestic statute is an acknowledgment of weakness, of our inability to govern ourselves by enforcing in our own territory our own laws. Hughes saves our face by deterring the Administration from making the blunder of violating the world’s laws, to prevent violation of our own. The three-mile limit was adopted when three miles was the limit of a cannon shot’s range. Perhaps it ought to be extended, if cannon shots have anything to do with it. But we can not extend it all by ourselves. If we belonged to the League of Nations, instead of being outside it, with only Germany, Turkey and Russia to keep us company, we could have the jurisdictional matter of the three-mile limit referred to it, and get immediate action; maybe get the limit extended. But we are out —with Turkey, Germany and Russia—and so must abide by international law as it is. Do Birds Think? NATURALISTS, among them great T. R., have always insisted that animals and birds do not think—that they act from instinct. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Johnson spend all their summer vacations with Jack Miner, Canadian farmer, at Lake Erie’s North Shore. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson belong to that lordly wild family known as the Canadian goose—lordly fighters, lordly flyers, raisers of lordly families. Jack Miner, the farmer, is a naturalist in overalls, and years ago he marked off his lakeside land as sanctuary for birds. lie dared no man to shoot there, but every man refrained because Jack Miner asked him. Hence, thousands of duck, geese and swan descend on this simple Canuck’s farm every spring and fall, eat their fill of the hundreds of bushels of grain he throws to them and presently are off for Hudson Bay or for the sunny south. All hut a few, like Mr. and Mrs. Jack Johnson, who elect to stay right there for the family raising season and to all of whom Miner has given names. One summer. Mrs. Johnson fell desperately ill after six eggs had been laid and had to quit. Miner put the eggs under an old hen who generously hatched ’em and mothered the brood of six till they were whooping big goslings of five weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson had never seen these goslings; there is in fact a high stone wall between sanctuary and barnyard. One day the six sassy youngsters adventured around that wall while Miner kept an eye on them—kept an eye until that eye was too full of tears to see anything at all. Mr. Johnson himself was first to discover his babies and with mingled cries and honks and other noises of delight most unnatural in a dignified and royal Canadian goose, he rushed to them, rubbed his head all over their bodies, and pranci and about them in a frenzy of what could be described as nothing el&e but goose happiness. Mrs. Johnson was down in the water, but she heard the crazy goings-on of her husband and rushed up, half flying, half running, to repeat the same scene all over again.. And when a worried old hen arrived in search of her adopted ch-ldren she was driven kiting away. Jack Miner is intimately acquainted with thousands of Canadian geese ai'd he says the likes of this he never saw in all his days. And Mrs. Miner says that when he came up to the house, the tears were streaming down his cheeks. Soft-hearted Jack Miner! Now; leave this question to you: Did Mr. and Mrs. Johnson know their pabies? And, to know their babies didn’t they have to think—hold;some things in their heads?

COUNTHY BANKERS FIEHTPOWERFUL ROUSES OF CITY

National Convention Delegates Are Objecting to Branch Institutions. By RAYMOND CLAPPER, United yews Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 4. —One of the biggest controversies in the history of American banking is brewing between the small country bankers and the big Wall Street interests at the convention of the American Bankers’ Association in session here. It is the fight of small, independent country banks, which must operate with limited rescources, against the powerful city banks which are reaching out into the rural regions through a rapidly growing system of branch banks. The Independents fear that a process of centralization is going on which will strangle them completely and put the whole financial machinery of the nation in the hands of a small, closely organized group of big banking houses which center in Wall Street.

The small bankers have mobilized in greater numbers than ever before, which accounts for the record-break-ing attendance of 10,000 at the bankers’ convention. Branch banks, if allowed to extend unchecked, will make a tool of Federal Reserve system, they declare, and will tend toward monopoly. Some of the independents are attacking Controller of the Currency Crissinger, alleging that he “tacitly approved” the attempt of the First National Bank of St. Louis to open a number of branch banks. Plans for assisting the bankrupt nations of Central Europe are being discussed by the bankers here and may take definite shape before the convention is over. Developments are expected after the address of Wednesday of Reginald McKenna, former British chancellor of the exchequer, and Britain's foremost hanker. Thomas B. McAdams, president of the American Bankers’ Association, called the delegates to order in the initial session of the full convention. Thomas W. Lamont, speaking for the hankers of New York City, today j outlined in his address what he regarded as the responsibility of the men of finance today.

A German chemist perfects a process by which a tree, while growing, can be transformed into any of these three colors. His method is to feed liquid dyes to the roots. They rise through the sap cells and color the leaves. Rather a foolish thing to start circulating in a world quick to adopt the atrocious.

municipal government machinery here. If Governor Miller is re-elected, the present row between Miller and Hylan might terminate in the former exercising his gubernatorial prerogatives by summarily removing Hylan from the city hall. If A1 Smith, the Democratic nominee for governor, is elected Hylan will be safe. Miller Makes Threat Some months ago, it will be remembered, Miller guardedly threatened removal of Hylan if the latter persisted in his opposition to the plans of Miller’s transit commission. Behind this unusual situation may be found the reasons for the recent attempt of William Randolph Hearst to have himself nominated as the Democratic candidate for Governor—an attempt which ended in complete failure last week at Syracuse. The situation also may explain why Hearst. following his defeat, fooled many politicians in both parties and announced his Intention to fully s jpport the candidacy of his enemy, Smith, for the Governorship.

Seven Persons in Every 100 Paid Income Tax in 1920 —Government Loses Big Sum

By CLAYTON WHITEHILL United News Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 —Seven persons in every 100 paid income tax in 1920 according to the bureau of internal revenue. This means that about every second family lived on an income of taxable size, and the average income on which tax was paid in 1920 was $3,269.40. which means that 7,259,944 individuals filed income tax returns. and paid an average tax of $148.08, or an average tax rate of 4.63 per cent. But these calculations also show that the Government lost nearly $200,000.000 In tax receipts during 1920, although the total tax returns of sl,075,053,686 represent an aggregate net income of $23,735,629,183. This is the import of the statistics of income for 1920. just made public by the Internal revenue bureau. These figures are of particular in-

A.—According to a study of the subject made by an authority on physical anthrpology of .he United States National Museum, the conclusion is reached that over one-half of the American males and nearly one half of the females are neither blondes nor brunettes, hut Intermediates. True and even ordinary blondes are scarce, while true brunettes are hut little more frequent. Approximately onefifth of the males, and one fourth of the female*, may bo classed as "fair” and a little over one-fourth of the males with a little over three-tenths of the females as “dark” or apparent brunettes. Q. —W'hat is silicate? A.—A salt of silicic acid. Silicates formed by the union of silicic acid with bases alumina, lime, magnesia, polassa, soda, etc., constitute by far the greater number of the minerals which compose the crust of the globe.

Why some people sleep Lightly” THE PRINCIPAL REASON is irritated nerves, and the common cause of nerve-irritation is coffee and tea drinking. For each cup of coffee or tea contains from one and onehalf to three grains of caffeine. Caffeine has a tendency to agitate the nervous system, when the nerves, normally, should be relaxed. The result is that you fail to get the deep, restful sleep that restores health and vigor. If you have any idea that coffee or tea is injurious to your health, drink delicious Postum, instead. Postum is the pure cereal beverage that helps the nervous system, by permitting you to get sound, revitalizing sleep. Serve this fragrant, mealtime beverage. You and the family will be surprised and pleased with its delicious, coffeelike flavor. And better health is worth while. Postum comes in two forms:—lnstant Postum (in tins) prepared instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling fully twenty minutes. POStllHl FOR HEALTH “There’s a Reason” mm FOSTUM§|f

has been confronted during the last year with the possibility of removal from oiffee by the Governor. So, when the Democratic convention was held at Syracuse, Hearst made a fight for the gubernatorial nomination. Hylan wanted him to have it. thus assuring him a friend and hacker in Albany. Hearst wanted it to insure Hylan's position and also to broaden the Hearst-Hylan influence in New York’s Democratic organization. But A1 Smith, former Governor, also wanted the nomination, but, he being a bitter enemy of Hearst, the latter did not want him —so Hylan didn't either. Murphy Holds Cards Charles Murphy, boss Os Tammany Hall, held the trump cards in that his would he the word to nominate one or the other of the two candidates. With a united Democratic party behind him now.

Chicago Filling Stations Give Short Measure By United News CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—One out of three gasoline filling stations give measure so short as to indicate deliberate fraud, according to officials of the Chicago Motor Club, which has just made a check-up on the alleged practice. in conjunction with the city sealer's office. Tho investigators selected thirty garages and filling stations at random, and visited each in turn to buy "Gas.” A specially constructed fivegallon tank was concealed in the regular tank and after each purchase, it was measured. Asa result of this test prosecutions will he started against ten of the stations, and the Chicago club will notify automobile clubs and associations throughout the country of its findings. It is believed that the short measure practice has widespread ramifications and plays a big part in boosting thousands of gasoline bills which many automobilists think are too high even when honest measure is given.

SWAPPING BONDS TO BEST W IS! ILL ST. SPORT Money MaTt ‘Patriots’ Dodge Uncle Sam and Rich Little Poor Man Pays Bill. By If. H. PORTERFIELD NEW YORK Oct. 4.—“ Swapping bonds to beat the income tax” is the intriguing title of Wall St.’s newest indoor sport. This is the way it is played: Mr. A , an old and valued client of the ancient and thoroughly respectable bond house, has I,oo® first-class Government, industrial op railroad bonds, on which he wishes to take a profit of, say SIO,OOO, said bonds having risen ten points since the last tax report. But if he sells the bonds and thus realizes a profit, Uncle Sam will step in and take more or less of said 10,00® berries as income tax. “Such doings” aren’t in the patriot's picture at all. So the “swap idea’* is invoked as a safe method to dodge Uncle Sam. Swap, Don’t Sell Mr. A. reports his trouble to hii bond brokers. They promptly take Mr. A.’s bonds and swap them, withcut any record of values, for I,oo® other bonds “not so good,” but at a price, secretly understood. Then fop the difference in value, certain other bonds or stocks or debentures or com* mercial paper are substituted. No cash passes, no values are jndi* cated, nothing is done to actually ere* ate a profit. All is lovely. Uncle Sam gets ing. The slick bond holder lad gets it all. God’s in his Heaven. All’s right with the world and the rich little poor man goes on paying his high income tax as usual. The New York Wall Street lawyers say the scheme is perfectly sound and will stand every test. Your correspondent learned today from an absolutely reliable source that piobably $100,000,000 of these '‘swaps H have been made. UNUSUAL FOLK 1 It l, NEA Service MADISON, Wis., Oct.
