To Reduce the Tax Burden "A thousand replies to a questionnaire sent broadcast by the American Banker's association lists refunding of short term government bonds and funding of floating indebtedness as primary requirements of cheaper current government financing," says the Chicago Tribune. "This is the consensus of business men and bankers in all sections of the country. As such it should carry weight. "More rigid economy in government expenditures is essential to reduction of the tax burden and immediate improvement in business confidence, but no economy can reduce the fixed :harge of hundreds of millions of dollars required for interest and sinking fund on our debts. Either current income, which means taxes, must

be kept up to meet that huge annual charge, or

the charge itself must be spread over a period sufficiently long to make annual payments much

less. "Such an arrangements would not only immediately reduce federal taxes, but would put some of the burden over to a day when the country, having recovered from the economic disturb

I Rippling Rhymes I By WALT MASON v i DISARMAMENT If all the nations would disarm, 'twould be a splendid thing, and we might live secure from harm and dance around and sing. How happy we should be to know that wars would come no more, that no new Hindenberg would go to splash around in gore. I thought, when war was at its height, that when the war was

done, there would be left on earth noinis eager, stooping race, ana toia me

wight who'd want to rack a gun. I thought we d had enough of groans. the war tans to deter, for all the world was sick of bones and death and blood and fur. Now while the nations all profess a strong desire for peace, they boost the same old martial mess, and war spiels never cease. "We'd dump our armament today," one monarch sadly yips, "but there's a king across the way, who's building countless ships. He's building guns and submarines to multiply his power, and we would surely spill the beans If we relaxed an hour." The king across the way remarks, "I can't disarm alone, for there are sundry royal sharks whod like to lift my throne. I have to build my guns and boats if I would keep my throne; I do not long for others' goats, but I would hold my own." And so the old, old game proceeds, and will till time is done, and poor foolish planet speeds no more iround the sun. Good Evening Marcel's Statistics No man ever succeeded in pleasing his sister, his wife, his mother and his mother-in-law all at one time. The bureau wishes to announce that i spring is here and that the susceptibility of falling in love is 87 per cent greater than at any other time of year. It would be advisable for married men to go right home from the office. Use the shortest route home. Seventy per cent of the love letters written look awful in print in a newspaper. I love the smell of gasoline, I love to tour afar. And I don't care how much it costs In some one else's car. A man is ignorant of his own fail ings as an ox is unconscious of how, strong he is. One paper says: "There will be many June brides in high society this year." Only twelve per cent of th gentlemen who pose as millionaires in the lobbies of hotels have any money at all. Those who wear spals never have any. The theatrical season is over the theatres will keep on mining usual. but as A scientists tells us that elephants live to be a hundred years old, but they look lliat old all their lives. It is never difficult to discover the whereabouts of Mary and Doug. They are always on the first page. When we look i at some baseball games we wonder why it is necessary to send to Africa for ivory. New York man. according to headline, has been shot in the lunch room. A vital spot. Mr. Chesterton suggests that we abolish the inevitable, but by doing this we would have to abolish the lecture tours of America. We can't help wondering whether the girl Charlie Chaplin will marry knows how to make custard pics. It might not be a bad idea to pay for the last war before starting another. CLOUDBURST RAZES .

THE

ances of war, would be in better condition to meet

the demands upon

sound economic policy and justice to the present generation, which has given of its blood as well as of its treasure to win the war and maintain the next generation in peace. "In addition to relieving the present financial strain, such a refunding of government bonds

would afford opportunity for protecting the persons who 'bought bonds until -it hurt,' by bringing these securities to par. One suggestion to this desirable end is to have the government declare itself willing at some definite future date to accept the long term bonds at par in payment of income taxes, tariffs, licenses and other debts to the government. "Another suggestion, carefully worked out by M. W. Thompson, governor of the war credits board, is to have an issue of bonds with an adjustable interest rate that shall be determined semi-annually in advance to correspond with the market rate for money invested without hazard. Such an arrangement, it is said, would automatically keep the bonds within a point of par, as if they should go higher the interest rate would drop and if they should go lower the rate would advance. By the same token the income from such bonds would always correspond to the purchasing power of money, and no hardship could be worked upon the holder. It would merely re

move all speculative possibilities. "Whether or not these plans are good, some plan could be evolved, and in any event the refunding for a long period would relieve the taxpayers of the country of a heavy burden."

PART ONE. It was on a bitterly cold and frosty morning, toward the end of the winter of '97. that I was awakened by a tugging at my shoulder. It was Holmes. The candle in his hand shone upon at a glance that something was amiss. "Come, Watson, come!" he cried. "The game is afoot. Not a word ! Into your clothes and come!" Ten minutes later we were both in a cab, and rattling through the silent streets on our way to Charing Cross Station. The first faint winter s dawn was beginning to appear, and we could dimly see- the occasiontl figure of an early workman as he passed us, blurred and indistinct in the opalescent London reek. Holmes nestled in silence into his heavy coat, and 1 was glad to do the same, for the air was most bitter and neither of us had broken our fast. It was not until we had consumed some hot tea at the station, and taken our places in the Kentish train, that we were sufficiently thawed, he to speak and I to listen. Holmes drew a note from his pocket, and read it aloud : Abbey Grange, Marsham, Kent, 3:30 a. m. My dear Mr. Holmes I should be very glad of your immediate assistance in what promises to be a most remarkable case. It is something quite in your line. Except for releasing the lady 1 will see that every thing is kept exactly as I have found it, but I should beg you not to lose an instant, as it is difficult to leave Sir Eustace there. Yours faithfullv. STANLEY HOPKINS. "Hopkins has called me in seven times, and on each occasion his summons has been entirely justified," said Holmes. "I fancy that every one of his cases has found its way into your collection, and I must admit, Watson, that you have some power of selection, which atones for much which I deplore in your narratives. Your fatal habit of looking at everything from the point of view of a story instead of a scientific exercise has ruined what might have been an instructive and even classical scries of demonstrations. You slur over work of the utmost finesse and delicacy, in order to dwell upon sensational details which may excite, but cannot possibly instruct, the reader." "Why do you not write them yourself?" I said, with some bitterness. "I will, my dear Watson, I will. At present I am, as you know fairly busy, but I propose to devote my declining years to the composition of a text-book, which shall focus thn. whole art of detection into one volume. Our present research appears to be a case of murder." "You think this Sir Eustace is dead, then?" "I should Fay so. Hopkins' writing shows considerable agitation, and he is not an emotional man. Yes, 1 gather there has been violence, and that the body is left for our inspection. A mere suicide would not have caused him to send for me. As to the release of the lady, it would appear that she has been locked in her room during the tragedy. We are moving in high life, Watson, crackling paper, 'E B.' monogram, coat-of-arms, picturesque address. I think that friend Hopkins will live up to his reputation, and that we shall have an interesting morning. The crime was committed before twelve last night." "How can you possibly tell?" "By an inspection of the trains, and by reckoning the time. The local police had to be called in, they had to communicate with Scotland Yard Hopkins had to go out, and he in turn had to send for me. All that makes a fair night's work! Well, here we are at Chiselhurst Station, and we shall soon set our doubts at rest." A drive of a couple of miles through narrow country lanes brought us to a park gate, which was opened for us by an old lodgekeeper whose haggard face bore the reflection of some great disaster. The avenue ran through a noble park, between lines of ancient elms, and ended in a low, widespread house, pillared in front after the fashion of Palladio. The central part was evidently of a great age and shrouded in ivy, but the large windows showed

it. That would be at once! that modern changes had been carried out, and one wing of the house appeared to be entirely new. The youthful figure and alert, eager face of Inspector Stanley Hopkins confronted us in the open doorway. "I am very glad you have come. Mr. Holmes. And you, too. Dr. Watson. But since, the lady has come to herself, she has given so clear an account of the affair that there is not much for us to do. You remember that Lewisham gang of burglars?" "What, the three Randalls?" "Exactly; the father and two sons. It's their work. I have not a doubt oi it. 'lney did a job at Svdeham ai fortnight ago. and were seen and de-! scribed. Rather cool to do another so soon and so near, but it is they, beyond all doubt. It is a hanging matter this time." "Sir Eustace is dead then?" "Yes, his head was knocked in with his own poker." "Sir Eustace Brackenstall, the driv er tells me." "Exactly one of the richest men in Kent Lady Brackenstall is in the morning-room. Poor lady, she has had a most dreadful experience. She seemed half dead when I saw her first. I think you had best xes her, and hear her account of the facts. Then we will examine the dining room together." Lady Brackenstall was no ordinary person. Seldom have I seen so graceful a figure, so womanly a presence, and so beautiful a face. She was ; blonde, golden-haired, blue-eyed, and would no doubt have had the perfect complexion which goes with such a coloring, had not her recent experience left her drawn and haggard. Her sufferings were physical as well as mental, for over one eye rose a hideous, plum-colored swelling, which her maid, a tall, austere woman, was bathing assidiously with vinegar and water. The lady lay back exhausted upon a couch, but her quick observant gaze, as we entered the room, and the alert expression of her beautiful features showed that, neither her wits nor her courage had been shaken by her terrible experience. Shu was enveloped in a loose dressing-gown of blue and silver, but a black sequincovered dinner dress was hung upon the couch beside her. v "I have told you all that happened, Mr. Hopkins," she said, wearily, "could you not. repeat it? Well, if you think it necessary, I will tell these gentlemen what occurred. Have they been in the dining-room yet ?" "I shall be glad when you can arrange matters. It is horrible to mo ! to think of him still lying there." ! She shuddered and buried her face in her hands. As she did so. the loose gown fell back from her forearms. Holmes uttered an exclamation. "You have other injuries, madam! What is this?" Two vivid red spots stood out on one of the white, rovnd limbs. She hastily covered it. "It is nothing. It has no connection with this hideous business tonight. If you and your friend will sit down, 1 will tell you all I can. "I am the wife of Sir Eustace Brackenstall. I have been married about a year. I suppose that it is no use of my attempting to conceal that oui marriage has not been a happy one I fear that our neighbors would tell you that, even if I were to attempt INGROWN TOE NAIL TURNS OUT ITSELF A noted authority says that a few j drops of "Outgro" upon the skin sur rounding the ingrowing nail reduces inflammation and pain and so toughens the tender, sensitive skin underneath the toe nail, that it can not penetrate the flesh, and the nail turns naturally outward almost over night. "Outgro" is a harmless, antiseptic manufactured for chiropodists. However, anyone can buy from the drug store a tiny bottle containing directions. Advertisement.

SUN - TKlLGRAM, RICHMOND,

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take IV "Up" THE WILLING MAN Every minute of every day this old world has its eyes open for the man who WANTS to work. ( Willingness takes as high a place in the marketplace of action as inate ability. For you have to have willingness before you are able to assert your ability. The willing man is always at a premium. And one reason for this is that he appreciates his shortcomings as well as recognizing his merits. But he is willing to pool them all in order that he may secure an even and sound development. The willing man likes to work up in front. You see, he doesn't mind at all whether or not that place is far from the clock. And he would just as soon get his hands soiled as not. It's getting the thing done or out that takes his interest and heart. And so he keeps climbing all the time and there are those who cannot understand his "luck." All great men and women have been those who were willing to wait willing to work unknown and unheralded for years and years. Willingness is one of the big backgrounds to success. Just the moment that you are willing to pay the price for the thing you want, just that minute you begin to appreciate the value of what you get. The child is willing to be guided by the father and mother, whose wisdom is recognizes. Thus it grows into maturity, when it is able to guide its own affairs. Temper your mind and heart with the spirit of willingness and thus become forearmed against much that, soon or later, would otherwise find you unprepared to fight your way forward with full courage.

Who's Who in the Day's News

JOHN T. ADAMS When the Republican national committee meets in Washington on June 8 to consider matters of importance to the party it will elect John T. Adams of Dubuque, Iowa, as chairman of the national committee to succeed Will Hays, of Indiana, who will resign on account of his appointment as postmaster general. Mr. Adams is the present vice chairman of the national committee. His election as chairman is assured because President Harding has t ad'" passed tne worn that he desires that Mr. Adams be chosen to succeed Mr. Hays. John Taylor Adams was born in Dubuque on December 22, 1862. After securing a high school education, he entered the sash and door business at the age of nineteen. In this business he has since remained, and is now president of the Carr, Ryder and Adams Co. Mr. Adams has taken an active and conspicuous part in politics since 1908, when he successfully managed the campaign of Senator Allison, who was opposed for re-election that year by Albert B. Giimmins. In 1912 Mr. Adams managed the Taft campaign in the Iowa primaries, and since that year he has been a member of the Republican national committee. He has since been vice chairman of the committee since 1917. Correct English Don't Say: The traveler DEMANDED lodging for the night. The bandit REQUESTED the mon ey.

The bandit DEMANDED the money. The company was at an ENORMOUS expense. The elephant, when he is made, is a MONSTROUS animal. He served as CHAMPION for the cause. to deny it. Perhaps the fault may be partly mine. I was brought up in the freer, less conventional atmosphere of South Australia, and this English life, with all its proprieties and its primness, is not congenial to me. But the main reason lies in the main fact, which is notorious to everyone, and that is that Sir Eustace was a con firmed drunkard. To be with such a man an hour is unpleasant. Can you imagine what it means for a sensitive and high-spirited, woman to be tied to him for day and night? It is a sac rilege, a crime, a villiany to hold that j fuch a marriage is binding. I say tnat tnese monstrous laws oi yours will bring a curse upon the land God will not let such wickedness endure." Kor an instant she sat up, her eyes blazing from under the terrible mark upon her brow. Then the strong, soothing hands of the austere maid drew her head down on the cushion, and the wild anger died away in passionate sobbing.

Dinner Stories An English temperance lecturer displayed to his audience two geraniums. The first had been watered in the usual way. The other had been dosed with alcohol and its foliage was shrivelled and sparse, its stem twisted and its vitality decayed. "Now ladies and gentlemen," cried the lecturer, "what can you say to a demonstration like that?" "It's all right," said a shabby man in the front row, "and if I were a geranium, I'd stick to water; but, you see, I ain't a geranium." The pastor was interrogating the pride of the family. f "And do you always say your pray ers before you go to bed?" "Yes, sir," replied Johnnie. "And what are the things you pray for?" pursued the good man. "Well," responded Johnnie thoughtfully, "mostly that pa won't find out what I've been doin' during the day!"

HEAVY WORK DOES NOT TIRE HIS AS BEFORE, HE SAYS Terre Haute man was run-down from overwork; had lame back, trouble with kidneys and bladder, pain almost made him faint. Had to quit work. Since taking Dreco, he has gone back to work and is feeling fine. Mr. F. E. Turner, employed by the American Clay Works, who lives at 1126 N. 9th St., Terre Haute, Ind., says : "I was in bad shape from my lame back; my kidneys and bladder hurt all the time and I could only bend so far, as the pain almost made me faint. ! I would get sick all over and a cold j sweat stood out on my forehead. I j worked many days in utmost misery i and then bad to quit. j "I had heartburn, nausea and my i nerves were all to pieces, I couldn't sleep but walked the floor until I! thought I'd drop. Dreco has certainly changed all this for me and I am a well man today. I have gone back to work and my work comes so much easier. I do my heavy work and don't feel very tired at night. I am only glad to tell any one about Dreco for 1 want others, suffering as I did. to receive the same wonderful benefit. The good old fashioned roots, herbs, barks and leaves, like our forefathers jbrewed their teas from, and raised a uoiuj lair- ui peopif, are smii recognized as the remedies for the stom ach, liver, kidneys, bowels and blood, i Dreco is made from twelve herbal plants, and its action is prompt and pleasant for man, woman or child. All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is being especially introduced in Richmond by Thistlethwaite's seven i drug stores. Advertisement.

TROUBLE The constitution of tho United States declares that a "natural born American is eligible for the Presidency of the United States. A very intelligent friend of mine declares that that means he must be born in the United States. I am of the opinion that a child born abroad of American parents comes under the intent of the "natural born" stipulation. Am I right? This question was referred to the attorney general of the United States a few years ago and he replied that the determination of the question could only come from the supreme court of the United States and that it had never been brought before it. . TWO BOYS How are the banks of a river determined, the right bank and the left bank? The right and left hand side of a river is determined by the direction you are facing.

DEFINITION Please tell me what the "peonage" means and what it is derived from. The word is from the Spanish. In South America it denoted a form of servitude, which prevailed especially in Mexico. The peon was obliged, to work for his creditor until his debt was paid. The word is adapted from the Latin "pes," mean ing foot, and originally was applied to a foot soldier, and gradually came to mean day laborer, and then serf.
