Congress and Tax Exempt Securities

WASHINGTON. — Futility of any further effort in behalf of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the issuance of tax-exempt securities is conceded by the administration. It is reported. President Coolidge and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, while continuing to advocate such an amendment, have become convinced that there Is no Immediate prospect of action and will eenter their efforts on obtaining reductions in the higher surtaxes to a level which will offer no incentive to investments In tax-exempt securities. Secretary Mellon virtually admitted the abandonment of any serious effort to obtain the adoption of a constitutional amendment tn his recent speech at a bankers* convention at Jackson. Miss. His opinion as to the Impossibility of obtaining results through th e constltutional'ainendment method during the present administration coincides with that of congressional leaders who have canvassed the situation in the light of the personnel of the new congress. A resolution proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting the future issuance of tax-exempt securities by states and municipalities will be reintroduced in the bouse in next win-

Maybe Pearl Harbor Needs Improving

Legislation designed to make Hawaii the strongest military outpost in the world will be offered to congress in December, according to Representative Thomas W. Butler of Pennsylvania, chairman of the house ’naval committee. The members- of the house naval committee win visit Hawaii next month, sailing byway of the Panama canal on the transport Henderson, which will carry the Annapolis graduating class to the Pacific. Naval officials expressed the belief that following this visit several defense hills would be Introduced in congress. Representative Butler said he was ! going to Honolulu to collect data that - would aid him in the legislation for building up the Hawaiian defenses. He declared that. In his opinion, there was a state of unpreparedness in that region that should be remedied by congress at the earliest practicable date. He stated that naval officers would accompany the house committee to Honolulu for a tour of Inspection. Naval officials said that congress already had authorized improvements in the channel at Pearl Harbor that would cost about $5,000,000. The first

Is “Good Old Summer lune” to Be Cool?

UNLESS scientific signs fall, says Lieut. Com. George E. Brandt, aid to the naval hydrographs*. this summer will be a cold one and the summer of 1926 even colder. A study of solar radiation and ocean temperatures has convinced him that next year •‘summerless" 1816 may be duplicated. Lieutenant Commander Brandt points out that cyclonic disturbances are the Unknown quantity in the weather equation, and that while the present outlook is for a decided temperature drop actual conditions at the time may be far different because of factors that are now unknown. He believes, however, that ocean temperatures greatly Influence the weather and that the 1925-6-7 weather already has been largely determine! by the heat of the sun that was stored up In the ocean during 1922-3-4, when solar radiation was below normal. Chicago.—An effort to forecast weather over a period of a year or two years would be nothing more than

First Lady of the Land Likes to Walk

SOCIETY leaders of the capital, accustomed to patterning their ways after those of the first lady of the land, are stumped by the form of diversion selected by Mrs. Coolffige. Four to six miles of walking daily is the program of Mrs. Coolidge, and this schedule stands, so far ns the demands on the time of a President’s wife permits, rain or shine. Mrs. Coolidge has refused to be “Jailed" in the White House. She regards the executive mansion as a home, and she has maintained the simple habits of life she accostomed herself to as the wife of a Massachusetts lawyer. Social functions she disposes of with grace and ease, and she enjoys them, bat they are kept at a minimum. Two walks a day is the favorite program. The morning stroll is confined usually to shopping. Mrs. Coolidge is well acquainted with the stores here, and makes her way about quickly. She knows pretty well what she wants be*ce» entering a sales-

Girl Babies Far Healthier Than Boys

A ONE-FOURTH higher death | I •>. rate among boy babies than j girls before the first year of j age is reported by th* cbll- j dren’s bureau as one of the facts eo- I tabliahed in the most comprehensive study of infant mortality it has yet I made tn furtherance of its efforts to reduce the rate io the United States, The variation tn the sexes was said to be explainable only by a difference in natal vitality. The health records within their first year of 23,000 babies in eight cities served as a basis for the report, which died that most recent statistics indicate that 187.000 infants under see year die in this country annually and that 98,000 of these fall to survive th* first month. The cities in which the studies were conducted were Johnstown. Pa.; Manchester, N. EL; Brockton, Mass.; Saginaw, Mich.; Now Bedford. Mass.; Waterbury. Uonn.; Akron, Ohio, and Baltimore. In an analysis of the data obtained. Dr. Robert M. Woodbury, former director of statistical research for the

ter's session of congress. The ways and means committee may go through the form of reporting the resolution favorably, as it has done in several sessions heretofore. It is unlikely, however, that it will be pressed to a vote in either bouse. Several factors have contributed te what is conceded to be a steady loss of support in congress for the constitutional amendment in the face of continued agitation for It by the treasury. Southern Democrats, for the most part, have stood firm against the amendment in line with their general position against encroachment of the federal government upon state rights. A good many Republicans, principally in Pennsylvania and other parts of the East, are opposed to it. believing it desirable to encourage municipal improvements through tax exemption of bonds. Furthermore, with one reduction from the maximum wartime surtaxes accomplished In the revenue act of 1921, another cut made in the revenue act of 1924. and prospects excellent for a further slashing of -ates in the revenue bill to be enacted next winter. need of the constitutional amendment is conceded to be less pressing.

appropriation will be granted this winter, and the dredging will begin in the summer of 1920. Close on the heels of the ••capture" of Hawaii by the naval forces in the joint maneuvers and charges that the army defenses of the island are defective, it was announced at the War department that officials there hoped that the house committee on military affairs would visit Hawaii before congress reassembled. " Acting Secretary Davis of the War department pointed out. with reference to increasing the strength of the defenses of Oahu, that the War de- I par tin ent has a general project for 1 Hawaii, which it has been developing from year to year as money was provided. No additional forces, however, are available. War and Navy department officials. In advaqce of receipt of the final report on the maneuvers, do nc< believe that any striking new defect will prove to have been disclosed, but are confident that the sham battle will enable presentation of the Hawaiian defense problem on a basis of established facts instead of theories.

wild guessing, Henry J. Cox, district weather forecaster here, said in commenting on predictions by others that the next two summers would be cold, and that 1926 might duplicate “summerless” 1816. “Maybe the next two summers will be cold, or they may be hot" said Professor Cox. “It is a bh-or-miss proposition, and if the guesser hits it, I he then can say, T told you tax’" The federal government does hot try to forecast more than a week ahead, recognizing the impossibility of it, Professor Cox pointed out. then the data are called “outlook" and not “forecast." v Nothing had been seen in solar radiation or reports of ocean temperatures to Indicate to him that the coming summer might be cold, with no summer at all next year, the forecaster declared. The year was starting off well above the normal for the entire country, he added, and In Chicago an excess of approximately 300 degrees of heat above the 30-year average had been recorded since January L

room, and takes little time In making her selection. Another walk in the afternoon usually finds her enjoying the freedom of one of the numerous parks, but the strolls are not confined entirely to parkways. There are few streets in ‘ the wide neighborhood about the White House, settled by every class ■ of people, which she has not trav- j ersed. On these walks Mrs. Coolidge usual- . ly is accompanied only by h secret j service man. Jim Haley, who has ! been assigned to look after her pro- i tert ion ever since she entered the White House, is tai! and naturally takes a long stride, but Mrs. Coolidge apparently never finds the pace too fast. It takes extremely severe weather to deprive Mrs. Coolidge of her walk. Unless there are guests at the White House, Mrs. Coolidge seldom uses her private limousine. It has stood in the garage for week* at a time.

burenu. said it emphasized that es- , forts to reduce the infant mortality i rate must be directed equally to pre- | vention of specific infectious diseasea I to proper feeding for reduction of gas- j trie* and intestinal diseases, and to i counteraction of prenatal and natal t causes. The latter causes, with the mother’s health a controlling factor, were said j to have accounted for 36,1 per cent of the deaths in cases studied, with gastric and Intestinal diseases causing 32.4 per cent; respiratory diseases 19.5 per cent and epidemic and other communicable diseases 7.1 per cent. Seasonal conditions were shown to have caused a variation in the rates. In the racial classification. Jewish babies were shown to be the healthiest. The order of increase in the death rate was given as “native white, German, Italian, colored, Polish, French-Canadian, and Portuguese.” "Irrespective of all other factors," the report said, “it was discovered that the infant rate varies inversely with the earnings of th* father.”

crnimimilu y Building Neat Mail-Box Rack for the Road Corner Most mail boxes along country highways are mounted on posts, and, at some corners, where large clusters of them are assembled In a more or less haphazard manner, they easily become an eyesore on an otherwise pleasant roadside. However, by providing an “apartment” mail-box shelter of the kind shown in the photo, this objectionable feature is easily overcome. This shelter is made of a 2 by 4-inch frame and has two or three shelves of “Apartment" Mail-Box Shelter Improves Appearance of Country Roadside. 1-inch material, and a neat roof to harmonize with the rest of the construction. The latter is covered with col- i ored asphalt or asbestos shingles. The mail boxes are arranged side by side | and are screwed down securely to the shelves. The whole affair is given a few coats of white paint to protect it against the weather. —Popular Mechanics Magazine. — Proper City Planning of Vital Importance When those who have had a part in the founding of cities can be traced, it is almost always ascertained that they planned in a wise though limited way for their future centers. The same wisdom and care in continuous planning is generally lacking after early hopes are realized and cities begin to extend. Metropolitan areas cannot be permitted to grow helter-skelter after they have once gained population and important rank. There will be physical features that are incongruous enough after such safeguards as will be prudent and legal have been provided. If resort is too often - made to the lawmaking p&wer, this is a matter in which the protection of that power may be sought advisedly and in a fashion analogous to that in which its assistance has been freely given in other matters. The zoning principle Is designed to deal with the problem in a large way, not In petty or vexatious ways. Absolute symmetry in city growth cannot be assured, but a fantastic and injurious lack of symmetry can be guarded against—Chicago Post — Pull Together If every business man in this eity would resolve that he would speak : only in terms of commendation of i every other business man in the city and then live up to the resolution for a period of three months the effect would be a revolution In conditions, because people cannot talk in terms of good feeling and of good fellowship without manifesting a spirit which will back up the talk indulged in. That is what Is so much needed in this city now. A pull-together will bring to pass all that we need to make this community flourish as it has not flourished before. This cannot be accomplished through any spirit of spleen-venting, . or of getting even with the other fellow, or of taking unfair advantage to gain a point for one’s self, but it can be brought about by translating into ; everyday life of the business men ; some of the lofty principles which you frequently hear preached but so seldom see practiced.—Andalusia Star. Recreational Ground 9 Towns have found recreation a good investment Social enrichment and ' advertising have come to them, as they readily testify. As more and more . small towns discover that recreation i will help to check the .drift of their ; youth to the cities as well as to at- , I tract new residents, they will make a determined effort to supply those opportunities for clean play that parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, community houses and other facilities supply.
