LIFE INSURANCE
INTERESTS SAY
RDLE IS SEVERE
I
Delegation Appeals to
House Committee for
Tax Mitigation.
Representatives of all the largo Uf?
Insurance companies appeared before
th? Win and Means Committee ??
tardar to aak that their Interest, be
protected In the framing of the new
revenue bill Their present grievance
la that a ruling of the Treasury Do-1
pertinent bare them from Including
their reeenrea aa pert of their capital
upon which they are entitled to ex
' ?ob "jC. Hedges, of New Tork. chief
spokesman for the Insurance com
panies. suggested that the new Mil
should contain a provision to hare In
cluded In the surplus the reserves "re
quired by law to be accumulated and
ma In talced" for the protection of the
policy holders.
The effect of the war on the life in
surance business. Hedges said, has
been to lower the average rate of In
terest on Investments on account of
large purchase of liberty bonds, to
diminish the value of securltlea held
by the companies, and to Increase the
mortality.
Frederick G. Dunham, former In
surance Commissioner of New Tork.
estimated the shrinkage In the
value of securities held bjr the in
surance companies to be aa much
aa t or 1* per cent.
T. W. Blackburn of New Tork and
E. M. Martin of Omaha, representing
mutual insurance companies, also
appeared before the committee.
Representative Cox of Indiana
made a atatement to the committee
urging higher taxea on automobiles
used for pleasure purposes. He pro
posed three forms of taxation to
curb the use of pleasure cars dur
ing the war. namely: A tax on
chauffeurs, a graduate tax on auto
mobiles. according to horsepower
or a heavy tax on gasoline. ?
Figures prepared by the Internal
Revenue office were submitted to the
committee by Representative Cox.
^showing that there are In the United
Htates at the present time 4.080.000 au
tomobiles, of which 90 per cent are
passenger cars snd 10 per cent are
tracks. Collector Roper estimated that
a graduated tax oa the horsepower or
these vehicles would yield to the gov
ernment U51.000.000. and Cox proposed
that all of the SO.OOO motorcycles in
the country should bear a flat tax of
IS each, which would yield $1,100,000.
Upon the basis of X as the average
horsepower. Collector Roper's esti
mate, ss furnished by Cox. would pro
duce the sum of sun.ooo.ooo if the bill
levied the charge of 80 cents per horse
power. Cox recommended that the
graduated tax be as follows: So cents
per horsepower up to and including
3 horsepower. Sl.? per horsepower
up to 90, and 12.40 on all cars of over
3? horsepower.
Alfred Reeves, on behalf Of the Na
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. pleaded for no increase in the
automobile taxes. He said that H500.
IrtO.OOO of war work for the government
has been taken over by the automo
Mlo manufacturers, and their taxea I
for this year will amount to 132,000.000. |
Hospital Embodies Moder. Ideas.
A five-story structure, in which
many of the most modern ideas in
hospital construction have been em
bodied. is the recently completed an
nex to the Union Hospital in Fall
River. Mass.. which is described and
illustrated in the Popular Mechanics
Magaxlne. A feature that Instantly
attracts attention is the manner in
which each of the stories above the
first recedes from the front more
than the one beneath it, thereby pro
viding space for broad, uncovered
balconies that extend the full length
of the building rooms. Rows of flower
boxes add much to the attractiveness
of these rest places. On a level with
the second floor is an inclosed, heated
passageway connecting the annex with
the old building. In the basement of
the new structure are the heating
plant and an ice plant. The of flees
and operating rooms are on the main
floor, dormitories on the second floor,
private rooms on the third, and chil
dren's quarters on the fourth floor. |

A Tie ia the Home.
If the situatfon that now exlsta in

Ago the Agitated cry of the politician
would have been loud In the land. To
day. few people seem to know that
boiyor* Are exactly even between the
Damocrith and Republicans la the
House of Representative#. Thoee who
lira aware of the tie do not appear
Interested.- At the beginning of the
present taction the President's party
controlled 114 seats in the lower house,
but? that number has gradually de
creased. Representative Adamson, of
Georgia, resigned to become a member
of the Boird of Appraisers In New
York. Fltagerald, of Brooklyn, retired
from COhgrAs. to resume the practice
Ot law. Bruckner and Griffin, both
ot New Yak, resigned to accept poli
tical appointments In their home
Stat*. Representative Bathrlck, of
Ohio, died lust before the Christmas
holidays. Consequently, there are now
exactly M Democrats and 30$ Repub
lican* hi the Southern wing of the
Capitol. Thl* tie may be broken by
the reelgnatlon of Representative Hul
bert. Democrat, of NeV York, to ha
ooiAs Commissioner of Ferries and
Dock* in New York City. ? But even If
the Republican! And themselves In the
majority they will make no move
to take advantage of the fact Rep

of a possible fight to take the speak
ership from Champ Clark Is strong
enough So command the Independent
votes. . Moreover, the Republicans
hate everything to lose and nothing
to gain by upsetting the Prssldent's
control of the House at this session.
Therefore, there may be presented the
unprecedented spectacle of a majority,

Norwegian Steamers Lost
Off Cape Hatteras, De

Further confirmation of the theory
that the German submarines operat
ing off the Atlantic coast are moving
?outward cant yesterday In the an
nouncement of the (Inking of tvo Nor
wegian steamers in the Cape Hatteras
I district. It la understood that the
Nary Department had no report of
the loss of the two.vessels until the
survivors were landed at New York
yesterday. ? ,
The following statement was issued
by the Navy Department yesterday.
"The Navy Department ?? informed
that the steamship Borsund arrived at
New York at 3:36 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon with survivors from the Nor
wegian steamers Bindlggen and Hen
rik. sunk by submarine about 130 miles
east of Hatteras. The Bindlggen. ac
cording to reports, was sunk it SM
p. m. on June S and the Henrlk at
7:17 p. m. on June 10."
Twemty Teasels luk.
The submarines which to date have
sunk twenty vessels In American wa
ters are successful In avoiding the
American patrol ships. It is believed
that they are submerged during thel
daytime and operate only in the time
Just previous to sundown, making any
movement* to new location* at night, i
whan they can run on the surface. i
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, of
the Navy Department, yesterday i
denied that any American warships I
or patrol boats have flred upon sub-|
marines, dropped depth bombs or in
fact sighted an enemy submarine off
the Atlantic Coast. It is thought,
however, that complete reports ofj
the operations of the American pa-1
trols have not been made because
of restrictions placed upon the use!
of the wireless by the Navy Depart-'
ment
That no news of the sinking of,
the two Norwegian ships was re-'
ceived here prior to the landing of ,
the survivors at New York points'
to the conclusion that all steamers'
have been warned to take every
precaution to conceal their Iocs-'
tion and to use their wireless only
as a last resort to summon help. |
lafomatlea least.
Navy officials in discussing the
sinking of the two Norwegian ves
sels stated that the only Informa
tion they had was based upon a
short report received from New
York. They stated that they 'had
no report to show whether the ships
were sunk by bombs or by tor
pedoes. Explanation of the failure
of the navy to provide convoys for'
vessels known to be In American
waters,was refused.
It Is not known whether the Nor
wegian ships were armed. No in-1

In explaining to the House the rea
sons why the committee made large
reductions in the .amounts asked by
the Shipping Board and the Food Ad
ministration. Sherley disclosed the
i fact that the cut of ttw.sso.ono in the
Hblpping Board's estimate was largely
due to the fact that the board had
neglected to credit itself with the
amounts which will be received as
fees on the charters of ships requisi
tioned by the government. Thus the
committee was enabled to eliminate
$432,060,000 without In any way chang
ing the Shipping Board's program.
In the matter of the reduction at
$4,500,000 in the allowances for the
Food Administration. 8herley said he
Food Administration asked for $12,
000,000 and is allowed $7,500,000, which
he believed sufficient for^11 it, work
He said many of the estimates sub
mitted by Hdover's administration
were "nebulous and loosely made."

The Japanese pocket stove has
made its way around the world. It
consists merely of a metal box with
a sliding lid, and covered with cloth.
The unique feature of the stove Is the
fuel, which Is sold in the form of sau
eagellke rolls. These will burn for
about three hours without giving off
any smoke or fumes, according to the
Popular Science Monthly.
The fuel consists of vegetable ma

This kind of stove was extensively
used by the Japanese soldiers In the

manlfeated In the aaaertlona of the i

patches today. He aaya that If a
peace offensive la to be started It
muat be to obtain the peace of a
Hondenburg or Ludendorff.
"The only offensive." he aays, "of
which there is need, besides the one
which Hlndenburg and Ludendorff
are leading, ia an Interior offensive
against all those who are opposed
to the military action which is des
tined to secure a lasting peace to
us. This must be an offensive

Prot*ctk | Dayton hvm Flood*.
Working on th* theory that floods
of the sort which swept down the his
toric Miami Valley in western Oh'.o
Ave years ago are unnecessary evils
which can be guarded against, the ln
habltants of th* prosp*rou* valley
have undertaken the work of flood
proofing the entire valley. The dry
reservoir plan, known to engineers for
several hundred yea re, ia to bo work
ed out for the first time on a large
scale, and within the next three or
four years a battery of Ave great flood
reservoirs stationed at strategic point*
along th* valley will take up the task
of warding oft diaaaters similar to the
one of March. 1912.
Miami Valley propoaea to apend ap
proximately $20,000,000 In completing
one of the most ambitious and
thorough-going flood protection pro
jects ever launched in the United
Statea. Shortly after the disastrous
flodds of Ave years ago the Miami
conservancy district waa organised,
under a State charter, and the pre
liminary work haa now reached th*
stage where steam shovels and gangs
of laborers will take up th* work.
Practically all of the tedioua and ex
acting little legal details have been
taken up and completed, and, barring
unforeseen complications, the flood
I protection work will be actually under
way some time during 1911. By 1921.
or 1922 at the latest, it Is estimated
by engineers, the last reservoir will
have been completed and the valley
which has been terrorised by frequent
floods will be freed of dangers from
that source for all time to come ?

GARFIELD CUTS
DOWN FUEL FOR
AUTO BUILDERS
? ?
Passenger Car Concerns to
Be Allowed But 25
Per Cent.
Dr. Harry A. OuMl Fuel Admin
istrator, made an official announce
ment yesterday that manufacturer*
of pleasure automobiles will receive
only twenty-five per cent of the coal
used for that purpoae lit the preaeot
year,, thus compelling a fuel curtail
ment of aeventjr-flve per e*nt.
GuMft ItalMHeL
Ha authorised the following state
ment:
Fuel AdministratorQarfltd con
firmed the statement he made on
'Monday in regard to the curtailment
of fuel for the manufacture of pleas
ure automobiles. He atated that the
general question of curtailing this in
i dustry la now in the hands of tha
Steel Section of. tha War Industries
Board.
The Fuel Administration, however,
feels responsible to limit the amount
of fuel used In tha manufacture of
pleasure automobiles to whatever, ex
tent tha national situation demands.
Fuel Administrator Garfield made It
plain that even If steel la available
for a larger production, be will be
compelled to limit the fuel for the
manufacture of pleasure automobiles
in the season 1*18-1*1* to not over X
per eent of that consumed for this
purpoee tn the season 1*17-11. ,
rati Deasaad Ceavlaesa.
The enormous Increase in the de
mand for coal In connection with the
war has convinced the Fuel Adminis
tration that it would be jeopardising
the vital Interests of the country to
permit fuel to be used In the manu
facture of a large number of pleasure
automobiles than the 2. per cent men
tioned above.
"Thla curtailment does not affect
the manufacture "of trucks or other
cars for war use. nor the enormous
amount of other war material which
the automobile companies have al
ready undertaken for the govern
ment."

Milk Saves Meat?ud Moaey.
The cooking editor of the Woman's
Home Companion writes:
"There is every reason for using
milk, no reason for not using It.
There are people who think It
too expensive because it costs a few
with comfort; takes down writ
ings and draws the soreness and
misery right out of feet that
chafe, smart and burn. "Tiz" in
stantly stops pain in corns, cal
louses and bunions. **Tiz" is glori
ous for tired, aching, sore feet.
No more shoe tightness?no more
foot torture.
Ask for "Tiz." Get only "Ti? "'
cents more per quart than ever be- '
(ore. and so hwt eat down their
milk supply. This <? a mistake. Milk,
even st the present price, it an eco-1
nomical food. Milk Is so Hwntnl'
to the present and future health of-,
the nation that it Is vitally neeeseaii;
to keep the price of It within the
reach of everyone.
??Our bodies must have food* that*
supply building material, energy. *
mineral substances and regulating'
and growth-promoting substan-**.
Milk supplies all these.
"In everj' quart of milk there am'
from four to five ounces of amid'
food. This can be seen when milk
is made Into cottage cheese This
is protein of the most valuable type,
and In this respect (protein) a quart
of milk is equivalent to from four,
to eight ounces of meat or four egg?.
There is no other protein food thst.
is so good for young children. A
child under five, taking a quart of *
milk a day, needs little or no meat
snd only an occasional egg: while
the adult, talcing a pint of milk a
day. will need only a quarter of a
t>o|?nd or leas of mest per day."
