My Dear Fellow "Bolsheviks":
I was very much grieved the past
week to learn that your wonderful
city was to be given over to the gam
biers, bootleggers, porch climbers,
stick-ups, safe blowers and a few
other gentlemanly craftsmen. The
Times-Star of Cincinnati printed sev
eral columns from a perfectly reliable,
blown-in-the-bottle special corres
pondent or reporter, who was assign
ed to cover the story. His was a lurid
tale, and thus it dawned upon me that
inasmuch as your city had reverted to
the wild and wooly west style, it
would no longer be safe for me to
visit you, even with a last year's
model Studebaker. The high-jackers
would take my supply of gasoline,
strip me of my wearing apparel, and
thus, like in the olden times, leave
me lie alongside the highway, waiting
in vain for the good Samaritan that
would fail to put in an appearance.
Gloom Gloom must have been
the one-piece union suit worn by the
T.-S.'s special emissary, for on Satur
day I chanced to read in the Post that
your wonderful city had not been
given over to the mob, and that the
brand of "moon" that reporter must
have come in contact with was prob-

UNCLE SAM BILKED
Tricky Taxpayers Cheat
Government Out of Mil
lions, Finds Senate's
Washington.—The senate tax in
vestigating committee, headed by Sen
ator Couzens, of Michigan, has dis
covered that the government is an
nually losing millions of dollars by
sharp practices of corporations and
wealthy individuals.
The favorite form of taxation eva
sion, particularly in the larger in
comes, is through a reduction of cap
ital losses. This practice alone has
cost the government millions of dol
lars, and is far in excess, committee
members say, of the loss from tax
exempt securities which has been
blamed by Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon as the most costly form of tax
dodging. Transactions known
"washed sales" are a favorite device
for charging off capital losses.
A taxpayer, confronted with the
necessity of paying large sums to the
government, sells stocks which have
depreciated in value. He computes
the difference between the buying and
the selling price, deducts the loss
from his earnings, scales down his
tax and then buys the stock back the
next day.
Amortization and depletion of na
tural resources are other methods
which are used by income tax dodg
ers, who make excessive claims for
amortization, alleging that they pur
chased excess facilities for war pur
poses.
The committee has found many
evidences of what is termed "laxity
by income tax officials, who hold wide
differences of opinion when called
upon to make decisions.
The committee, it is stated, will
attempt to close these tax-dodging
holes.
WANT LOWER BREAD
COSTS
Washington.—Private bread con
sumers in the District of Columbia
are paying 9 cents a loaf, while the
same grade of bread is sold to the
navy department for 3.69 cents, said
Congressman Brand, of Ohio, in sup
port of his standard bread bill.
He said this legislation concerns the
largest single food item in the United
States and that the public Is not pro
tected in its bread supply.
He discussed in detail the bread
supply of the army and navy, em
phasizing the cost to the federal gov
ernment on this one item. "An enor
mous profit in bread making has been
made the last four years," he said.
Cornelia Makes
a Selection
By
H. IRVING KING
(Copyright.)
COKNELIA
BL1V1N was a spoiled
child. Her father had amassed so
much money that he could not tell
exactly how rich he was himself. Her
mother was a languid, drowsy, corpu
lent woman, who believed that "there
was no joy but calm." Being an only
child, heiress-apparent to her father's
millions, Cornelia might have been
married twenty times over If she had
warted to. But she didn't want to.
Then suddenly she took it Into her
head that she did want to. "Mother,"
said she one day, "1 am going to
And Cornelia, who, when she had
taken a resolution, was not in the
habit of letting the grass grow under
her feet, ordered out her own particu
lar motor and went down to her fath
er's office to tell him what he might
expect. She regarded It as a mere
matter of form—but Cornelia was rath
er a stickler for form.
"Father," she breezed when she was
alone with her parent in his private
office, "I am going to be married."
"Bless me, child said Blivin. "Who
to?"
"Oh, I haven't decided yet. I shall
this week," she warbled.
For the first time In his life Blivin
displayed a tendency to go contrary
to his daughter's wishes. "Hum,"
said he. "This Is a serious matter.
There are lots of fellows who would
be anxious to marry you just to get
at my money."
"Goodness gracious, father," cried
Cornelia, "don't you suppose there are
men who would be willing to marry
me just for myself?"
"Perhaps," growled Blivin, "but If
there are any such I'd like to know
them first and be sure. Look here,
1 tell you tlat that you shan't marry
any man I don't approve of."
"You are too cruel," sobbed Cor
nelia, bursting into tears. "I'll marry
any man I please and you shan't have
a thing to say about It." Aud she dried
her eyes and went home, smarting
from her first rebuff.
She hardly spoke to her parents all
that week, but Saturday night at din
ner she calmly remarked that she was
going to marry Oasper White.
"Hum, hum, a good selection," ^aid
Blivin. "Excellent young man. I ap
prove of your choice."
It never occurred to the man of
millions that perhaps Casper White
would have something to say In the
matter.
Now there was a young man at the
table when Cornelia made her an
nouncement who frowned darkly. He
was Walter Reynolds, a third cousin
of Cornelia, who had been brought up
by old man Blivin and was now his
secretary. "White is engaged to Ma
bel Landers," said Walter sourly.
"What of it?" snapped Cornelia.
"Oh, that can be arranged, I guess,"
said Blivin. "The girl hasn't a cent.'
"Has Mr. White paid you any special
attention?" asked Mrs. Blivin.
"Well—no—not yet," replied Cor
nelia, "but he is three times as sensl
ble as the other young men I meet in
society. He's more like Walter here."
The last part slipped out before she
realized what she was saying and she
could have bitten her tongue off for
the slip.
Walter was all very well as a cou
sin—but Cornelia had for some time
had a suspicion that he aspired to be
something nearer than a cousin. While
everybody else let her do as she
pleased and approved what she did,
Walter had the cheek to object to
many of her performances. What did
she care what Walter thought? What
was he to her, anyway? After dinner
that Saturday night Walter and Cor
nelia happened to find themselves
alone together In the library.
"Cornelia," said Walter, "you are a
spoiled child, and you know lt.H
"I'm not," cried Cornelia.
"Yes you are," returned Walter
"You have had your way so long that
you have ceased to realize that there
are other people in the world to be
considered. Now you are not, really,
going to try to break up the engage
ment between poor little Mabel Lan
ders and Casper White, are you?"
Now Cornelia was a good-hearted
girl. "No," she faltered. "I don't know
as I want to do that. But Casper has
more common sense than most of the
fellows I know, and 1 won't marry a
fool."
"You said at dinner," stammered
Walter, "(hat he whs—*
"I said he was nearer like you
that's what I said," put in Cornelia
"Oh, well, I don't know as I want Cas

"Whom do you want?" asked Walter
looking at her eagerly.

I got to tell you? Whom do you want?"

"Well, well, Corny," said the fond
mother. "I suppose you are old
enough to be married. Whom are you
going to marry?"
"1 have not decided yet," replied
Cornelia.
"Got any special ene in mind?"
asked Mrs. Blivin.
"No, no one In particular—as yet.
I have two dinners, two dances and a
reception on this week and shall prob
ably select somebody before Satur
day," said Cornelia.
"Have you spoken to your father
about this?" asked Mrs. Blivin.
"Not yet," replied Cornelia, "but I
shall. Father won't object. He never
has objected to anything I did. yet, and
it's pretty late in the game for him to

"Adrenalin Type"
There are certain men and women
who surprise others by their power
apparently to endure and perform be
yond the ordinary capacity. Scien

people are able to draw stored energy
from certain glands, and they are suf
ficiently numerous to constitute a
type to which the name "adrenalin

"Just as I was about to scoop up

Utilizing Sun's Heat
Mirrors concentrating the sun's rays
are said to have yielded temperatures
as high as 2,800 degrees. One pro

by using It to produce chemicals that
will give out heat when required on
exposure to air and water, or through
similar reactions.
Hit White Bread
The sale of white bread throughout
England has decreased 50 per cent ifi

bread is a likely cause of cancer.
There has been a corresponding In

By International Labor News Servcie.
Indianapolis, Ind.—The children of
several thousand striking coal miners
in northern West Virginia were not
forgotten by Santa Claus, according
to a report received at headquarters
of the United Mine Workers here.
The representatives of the union in
that district presented each child with
Christmas chCer, candy, fruit and
clothing, the gifts being made in the
name of the International Union, un
der the direction of Van H. Bittner.
In sub-district five more than 5,000
little ones received holiday cheer.
The campaign of organization in the
northern West Virginia district is go
ing forward despite the efforts of
non-union operators to prevent it by
securing injunctions and various
court orders.
The taking care of evicted families
of miners from company-owned houses
has been a tremendous task, but is
almost completed, Mr. Bittner reports
Thirteen families evicted by the Beth
lehem mines corporation near Bar
acksville are housed in two former
school buildings obtained by the min
ers. In addition the international
organization has obtained several pi*i
vate houses in which other homeless
families will be domiciled.

NON-UNION PRINTERS
Turn Out Extension Uni
versity Textbooks
By International Labor News Service.
Chicago.—Officers of Chicago Typo
graphical Union No. 16 have been un
able to persuade the La Salle Exten
sion University to have all of its
printing done under union conditions.
This is particularly true with refer
ence to the text books, which make up
the heaviest item of the university's
printing bill.
The LaSalle Extension University
conducts correspondence courses with
thousands of students in all parts of
the United States and Canada, many
of them union men and women, a
large number of whom are employed
on railroads and who are taking ac
countancy courses.
These men and women should un
derstand that the text books sent
them by the university are being
printed under non-union conditions
and that a little pressure on the part
of the students no doubt would rectify
matters. A part of the printing of
the LaSalle Extension University has
been done in union printing offices foi
some time past.
CHILD LABOR BAN
URGED
Sacramento, Calif.—The State Fed

The unionists will also urge the

lowing a decision to this effect by
the United States supreme court last
October.
"Under the circumstances there
ought to be no good reason why state
courts should not grant jury trials in
contempt cases," the unionists say.
