Edger- ton, president of the Association. It accomplished four things: 1. Checked the growing apathy of the people in their national elec- tions, and put national interest on an upward curve. 2. Brought out a total vote of 80,098,232 as against 26,646,273 in 1920, an increase of 3,446,950 or nearly thirteen per cent. 8.

BATS ARE TRAPPED Malvern, Ark., No .—The home of a local grocer was overrun with bats.

On the first night 52 bats, frus- trated in their attempts to enter, were captured outside the house. at the World Is-Doin " As Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazine sits down on the headpiece, in the opinion of the scientist. People laugh at what they do not understand, he says, or what, seems to be inferior to them, as was the case when scoffers derived a great, deal of amusement from the theories of Columbus and Galileo. Jests and funny drawings to illustrate jokes will be preserved in public institutions for the benefit of visitors who may learn of the “age of laughter” only from such relics and historical works, he declares. eee Birds That Topple Steeples The stopping of the large clock in the tower of an English church, due to jackdaws having built their nests in the works, has called attention to the damage done by these birds. They seem to have a special liking for steeples and similar high places, and often cause such structures to become weakened and to tip owing to con- stant pecking at the mortar of the masonry. One spire threatened with collapse was found to be crumbling from the attacks of swarms of young jackdaws housed in the interior. They were gathered and lowered to the ground in buckets and the openings through which the old birds gained entrance to the tower were screened. soe Snow Stored in Earth in Winter Sold as Ice in Summer In some of the smaller towns of Europe where a supply of ice for cool- ing foods and drinks during the long, right wrist and filled the keyhole with molten lead so that it cannot be un- locked. eee Death of Laughter Seen as World Becomes Wiser An age when everyone will be too intelligent to see humor in anything is predicted by Dr. C.

After storms, gangs of men shovel the snow into carts and haul it to the pits and pack and tramp it down'as hard as possible. When the heap is nearly level with the top of the pit, it is cov- ered with a foot-thick layer of earth as a means of protection and ingula- tion. In summer it is sawed into ob- long blocks and sold in the town.

Fine Work in Roll Call Re- perted in Red Cross Courier The Eighth Annual Roll Call of the American Red Cross opened with brilliant suc in North Da- kota, with many Chapters doubling and tripling their memberships of last year, says the Red Cross Cour- ier, published in Chicago. Following this auspicious opening, ; Governor of States issued proclu-! mations urging all to enroll, the Secretary of War commends the Red Cross to, the Army and American Legion Posts throughout the coun- try are preparing actively to assist Chapters in putting over what prom- ises to be the greatest peacetime Roll Call. Incomplete reports from 25 Chap- ters in North Dakota, which holds its Roll Call early, show an increase of 1,000 members over the entire membership of these Chapters last year. Half of these Chapters have Cement for Metals A very good cement for uniting metal parts consists of 2% parts zinc oxide, 1 part zinc chloride and 5 parts pulverized limestone and elag. The whole is mixed to a thick peste with water. If a slow-setting cement is de- sired, use 1 part of zinc sulphate in- stead of the sinc chloride. The ad- hesive power of this cement may be increased by adding 2 per cent of fer- rous sulphate to the whole. se Ventilating the Barn Most barns are poorly ventilated, and this is both bad policy and a discredit to the owner. In cases where provision for ventilation has not been made when the barn was built, the arrangement shown in the drawing can be installed. The space between two studdings of the outer wall is boarded up, a vent being left at both top and bottom, which can be closed by means of a hinged board whenever necessary. A hole is cut in the roof above the boarded space, the plate over the studdings being avoided by the construction shown in the detail. A sheet-metal pipe, 4 to 6 in. in di- ameter and provided with a hood, is attached to the roof over the hole. The vente can be closed or opened according to weather conditions, j by Bonham Bros. for the highest in-} The gold, silver, and bronze medals | .

DODGING OF _ TAXES SAID Gunder Olson, Collector ternal Revenue for the Di North Dakota, following ¢ atten- tion to the new law regulating col- lection of Federal on theatre, + dance and other admissions. | Section 500 of the Revenue Act of} 1924, which became effective at mid- night July 2, 1924, provides for an admission tax of 1 cent for cach 10 cents or fraction thereof, of the amount paid for admission, where | the admission charged is in excess} of 50 cents. My attention has been called to an advertisement of a certain dance hall in this state, which reads in part as follows: “Tickets: Gents 50 cents; ladies 50 cents. Gent must purchase tic- ket for lady. Ladies unaccompanied, free.” This is unreasonable and no one can evade collecting admission tax by any such arrangement. This is clearly an admission of $1.00, and this particular dance hall proprietor is required to collect an admission tax of 10 cents on cach $1.00 ticket sold. Regulations also provide that tic- kets or cards of admission must be used to evidence every admission, er a mechanical device which will register the number of persons en- tering the place may be used. If it is a taxable admission, the ticket must show the price of ad- mission, the amount of tax due, and the total, together with the name of the vendor, and must be cither ser- ially numbered or dated. As no tax is imposed on admis: sions of 50 cents or le: it ii necessary that the pric ticket be shown. Whoever fails to comply with this section of the law is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $100. Every individual corporation, part- nership or association required to collect any tax on admissions under the, 1924 Revenue Act, shall, within ten days after feommencing jousi- ness, make an application for regis- try by filling out Form 75: Full information concerning ad- mission tax can be secured from the Collector of Internal Revenue at Fargo, North Dakota. BAIRD TALKS | TO KIWANIANS Speaks on Methods of Ad- ministration — L. R. Baird, receiver of closed banks in North Dakota, was’ the prin- cipal speaker at today’s luncheon of the Kiwanis club. Mr. Baird describ- ed briefly for the Kiwanians the method of administration of the clos- ed banks in the state and told some- thing. of their condition.

LAFOLLETTE TO LOSE CONTROL, AYERS MOSES Asserts Make-up of New Committees, Will Deprive Him of Balance of Power French Lick, Nov. _17.—-United States Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, slated for chairman of the new Senate committee on committees, last night issued a for- mal statement in which he declared that Senator Robert M. LaFollette ‘no longer was entitled to be con- sidered a member of the Republican party in the matter of committee ssignnieyts in the new Congr This is the first affirmative de by responsible Senate. leaders. Speeail significance is attached to the statement also by virtue of the fact that Moses has just returned from the funeral of the late Senator Lodge where he is supposed to have casually at least’ talked over the matter of the new organization of the Senate. Cuts La Follette Power Moses places La Follette on the seme footing with Shipstead and Johnson of Minnesota. He holds thot ts Follette, after March 4 next should be considered as just enter- ing the Senate as the leader of a new party, and as a first termer, so far as the seniority rule of the upper house goes in the distribu- tion of committee-ship places. If Moses is speaking ex-cathedra for the new Senate leaders and his program is carried out, La Follette will be dropped down the list or removed entirely from# the power- ful manufacture committee of which he now is chairman. It was as chairman of this committee that he was able to institute his investiga- ticn of the oil interests of the country. Incidentally with the poss- ible dropping of La Follette to the bottom of all his committees or re- moving him entirely, Senator Wat- son of Indiana would move up the list, particularly of the interstate commerce committee. McLean Ranks High Senator George P. McLean of Connecticut would be the ranking member of both the finance and in- terstate commerce committees and probably would elect to remain on the finance committee. This would make Senator Watson ranking mem- ber of the interstate commerce com- mittee, and, unless Chairman Cum- s of Iowa regains his health, would place him in a strong position as the virtual dictator of interstate commerce. Income Tax Hit Him HENRY SACKETT Henry Sackett, member of the Legislature from ‘Brown and Cole- man counties, Tex., a comparative- ly poor man who had never paid an income tax, leased a large body of land to an oil company for a large amount and at once had to pay an income tax of. $57,000. The next year his income tax was—$4.16— and it was partly refunded, roher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1924 Automobile Transportation —where it comes from Of course we couldn’t have automobile transportation without an automobile — neither could we have it without gasoline, oil, tires, parts, and the expert attention that every car must have from time to time.
