a Ne donne MONDAY, MARCH 138, 1922 TRANGE WILT, MAY PREVENT PARK PURCHASE A Move for the Purchase of Mammoth Cave, Ky., as Na- tional Park, is Under Way Louisville, Ky., March 13.—Uniess the government acts soon, a will, with @ strange request, may. prevent the purchase of Mammoth Cave, Ken- tucky, as a national park. This was Pointed out by Stephen T, Mather, di- Fector of national parks, in a report Tecently issued. A move for the ‘pur- chase of the Cave as a national park is now under way,and nas been urged upon. Congress for action. “The 3,000 acres sought for the park purposes at the entrance to Mammoth Cave,” says Mr. Mather’s report, are in private hands under the terms of a famous will which dictated that the Jand must be held in trust until. such time as the death of tae last of the named heirs occurs, when it is to be sold at public action in its entirety. “Because of the advanced age of the two surviving ‘heirs, it may be. ex- pected that it will not tbe long before this world-famed- cavern will. be sold under the hammer, and unless some Means are found to take it over na- tionally at that time either through Congressional appropriation or throug donation of some p&blic-spirited indt- vidual or organization, the cave will be lost ‘for all time as a national park possibilitly and will continue to be privately exploited.” i “I trust Congress will make an ex- ception in its evident. policy not to utilize public funds in the acquisition of park areas by. purchase of the Great Mammoth Cave of Kentucky.” QUAIL ARE GLASSED AS SONGBIRDS St. Paul, Minn., March 13.—Quail are songbirds, according to the execu- tive committee. of the State Humane Society. Maintaining that they are also allies of farmers, resolutions adopted by the committee urge that all farmers of the states they inhabit be asked to feed and care fof them. It is asserted that the work and the small amount of grain thus expended would be aBundantly repaid in the destruction of insect pests and the seeds of nox- ious weeds. , The resolutions also propose that quail shooting be prohibited indetin- itely. Without such protection the birds are in danger of extermination, says Sam F. Fullerton, executive agent of the society. The society wants quail shooting stopped for a genera- tion at least, he adds. Although there is now a closed season on quail in this state, it will soon expire. Every U. S. Citizen Subject To Income Tax Law Provisions Every citizen of the United States igs subject to tho provisions of the in- come tax law. He may live in this country or he y live abroad, pos- sessing no property within the United States and deriving no income from sources within the United States, Nevertheless he must file a return if single and his net income for 1921 was $1,000 or more or his grosa-income $5000 or more, or if married and his net income was $2000 or more or his gross income was $5000 or more. Di- vorcees or persons separated from husband or wife by mutual agreement are classed as single persons. Tho same obligation to file a return and pay a tax rests on a resident . alien, although his entire inaome may be derived fsom sources without the United States. While forms were s¢nt to persons who last year filed returns, failure to receive a form does not relieve an in- dividual of his or her obligation to file a return and pay tho.tax on time—on or before March 15, if filed on%a cal- endar year besis.

UP TOMORROW-THERES belief of authorities familiar with the} case. The letter was postmarked Coldwater, Mich., and inquired about | the Shiflet family. ‘Contents of the letter, the body of ‘whch is believed to have heen wrk- ten by a person other than the Signer, says: “I am writing you to find the whereabouts of-a family by the name of Jos. W. Shifiet. @ourteen years ago they lived on a farm located from three to five miles © east of the city, I have forgotten tha exact distance. Have forgot- ten the R. F. D. number also. “Il am sick in bed and would” likd to locate him if possible.” Family's Record Coming to Oarrington from Vir- ginia more. than 20 years, ago, the shiflet family had a record of sen- setions here.‘ One day about 14 years ago, Willie and Anfield Shiflet were in Carrington. Willie disappeared late in the afternoon and there had never been a trace of him until this week when thel. leiter. supposed to have been written for him arrived. He was then a lad of 15 or 16 years old. ‘Some years later, upon their return ‘one afternvon from field work, Mrs.. Shiflet, the. mother, was found dead in the cellar of the house. A rifle was found near her and it was gen- erally. believed she had taken her life. ki Thought ‘Father Cremated About six years ago, Joe Shiflet, the father, also disappeared. His son Anfield, who had gained some fame as “the boy preacher,” maintained \that his father had gone to Washing- ton. to: sell the rights to the Allies to use-a “bullet deflector” that Anfield had invented. The deflector, upon later investigation turned out to be a cow bell filled with mud. A day or two before the culmina- tion of this phase of the Shiflet his- tory. a letter was received here. signed by “Joseph Shifit,” and ‘tell- ing the success he was Baving: in Washington selling-the deflector. The letter bore a Soo railway. postofiice mark, “Boy Preacher” Kills Self Suspicion grew rapidly ‘that the elder Shiflet had been murdered by his son Anfield and the body burned ina strawstack on the farm, A. E. Morgan, then sheriff went to the farm to arrest Anfield. The boy had fled in an auto.’ ‘Mr. Morgan later got hig trail and found him on a. farm near.,Selz on the.new Great.North- ern line near Harvey. There Anfield was found plowing ina field. When he saw the sheriff coming across the plowing after him, the boy pulled out a revolver and killed himself. Scme small metal articles were found in the burned strawpile and were identified as belonging to the elder Shifit-. and although~ it has never been, fully establishd that he was killed and his body burned to @shes there, such has been the gen- eral belief. Edward Shifft, the other boy in the family, moved scon after these tragedies to Beaver Dam, Wis., where he was married. He’ died during the “flu. epidemic three years ago. There was little equity left to the family in the Shiflet farm near Oar- rington and in due time it was sold through the county court. An effort will now be made to try to have the identity of Willic Shiflet proven, Late Pope Was Outspoken In * eyes His Criticism Paris, Mar. 13—The late Pope Ben- edict XV. was a militant feminist and -Many times expressed the opinjon that women had a great mission in the world for Christianity in particular, but he .was ag outspoken in his criti- cism as he, was in his praise when (some trait in woman did. not, meet): ith his approval. He thoroughly disliked short skirts. ‘According to a story which ha» just come from Rome, the Pope noticed one day crossing the court of St. Damado a woman who had called at the Vati- can on some business with the Secre- tariat. She was wearing the. latest Paris style of skirt which barely cov- ered the knees. Turning to one of the Bishops near him, the Pope said: “I really can- not understand some women. They have no respect for anyone, not even the Pope:. Im the days of nfy youth I recall that all the young girls, my sisters for instance, were pestering their mothers to put them in long skirts. Now it appears that all the old women wish to wear short ones.” The. Ready Answer.

In that event this city will boast of the largest unified municipally owned strect car system in the world. Of greater significance to Detroit- ers, however, would be the end of a street car war that has been the chief issue in at least a dozen municipal elections, The fight for a municipally owned system culminated about 2 years ago When the voters approved a plan for 4 city-controlled concern, that was tc. be operated in opposition to the De- troit United. As a result of the elec- tion a series of suits were filed by.the D. U. R. each of which either directly or indirectly cltallenged the right of the city to proceed with the building of. its own railway system. The. city won each of the suits in every court into which they were carried. Legal-~ ity of the election was affirmed by the United States supreme court. “R. & ENGE, D.C.
