LONDON BACHELORS TO AVOID PAYMENT OF TAX (By United Press) London, Jan. 26.—The new Parti- san tax on bachelors in order to pro- vide bonuses for babies is having its effects here. Bachelors are ceasing to brag about their happy state. At the beginning of 1920 a band of bachelors gathered together and formed the Leap Year’s Bachelor club. They pledged themselves to stand together and laid down the most stringent rules, which included a taboo on theatre visiting in the com- pany of a representative of the men- acing sex. The founder of the club was the first to fall. After that they all caved in and stocktaking on New Year’s proved that only one member was left of the gallant throng of sworn celibates. And now, in the early days of 1921 comes this distant ' rumbling from France. A tax on bachelors in order to bonus other men’s babies! ‘“Great Heavens!"”#&hey mutter, “this thing might get to England any day now.” There is no talk of forming a 1921 Bachelors’ club. In such circum- stances, unity, instead of making them strong, only makes them con- spicuous. Bachelors no longer pose as irresponsible, care-free devils, dingling money. The fear of taxa- ticn is driving them into matrimony, and if any babies are to be bonussed, they intend to be the fathers of them, rather than the bachelor supporters of them. At the present rate of marriage when the time comes for the com- missions of inland revenue to levy their tax on bachelors, it is more than likely the,papers will be returned marked: “There ain’t no such things.” SCHWAB BREAKS DOWN IN GIVING TESTIMONY New York, Jan. 26.—Overcome by his emotions, Charles M. Schwab, temporarily broke down on the Wit- ness stand during his testimony here vesterday before the Walsh congres- sional committee investigating affairs of the United States shipping board. With tear-filled eyes, he dehied char- ges of previous witnesses that $100,- 000 of a $269,000 voucher charged to his account in the home office of tha Bethlehem Shipping Corporation had been allocated to expenses of construction of government ships. Mr. Schwab had been recalled to gl testimony regarding ship con- struction matters during his term as direcior general of the emergency fleet corporation. At the conclusion of his testimony, his attention was by Representative Israel F. r to testimony that since nmk-l WEY,EZRY WA A MMNNITY | | | ing his denial last Friday of the charges, he had conferred with Perley Morse of Perley Morse & Company, the auditors who found the alleged voucher._, Mr. Schwab admitted that he had talked with Mr. Morse, siating that a Mr. Wildman, which he had known o several years, came to him wita man of the highest repute.

Old Superstitions. In one of his novels, Walter Scott ays It was received as the truth, “that hey who are born on Christmas or jood Friday have the power of seeing spirits, and even of commanding thein.” de also says that “the Spaniards Im- puted the haggard and downcast looks of their Philip II to the disagreeable visions to which this privilege subject- ed him.” The well-known lines of Shakespeare indicate that in his day the crowing ef the cock at dawn was believed to be efficacious In driving away spirits. Why Buried Glass Disintegrates. The bureau of standards says that glass would slowly disintegrate when buried in molst soil. The action on the glass would be due primarily to water and alkali, The disintegrating action would vary with the composi- tion or character of the glugs und the conditions that obtained in the soil. This action would probably be ex- ! tremely slow with any glass, and it j would probably he centuries before i some glass would be corapletely dis- integrated. il Diplomatic Youngster, Harold was often allowed to visit his grandmother, but was always told the hour be should return home.
