Aug. 10.—(#}—The prospect for broad success of the im- perial trade conference lay Wednes- day largely in the hands of Premier Bennett of Canada. Upon his reply to Great Britain, which is expected before the end of the day, may depend the outcome of the effort to conclude a trade agree- ment between Canada and Britain. This proposed accord has achieved a key position in the conference work. If the accord is to go through, | matters now stand, it is up to Ben-| nett to make further concessions to British industrial imports into Can- ada. Unofficial observers, for the most part, inclined to the belief that he] had nothing further to offer. Con- servative newspapers, however, in-| sisted he was ready to give wider concessions to British iron, steel, coal, and textile products. Otherwise, they said, Canada would be the only dom- inion in the British commonwealth which failed to contribute to the/ British preference plan. | American observers were not so} Fargo, August 10—()—The stage of the Red River of the North at Fargo, the U. 8.’s only “navigable” stream that empties into the Hudson Bay watershed, Wednesday reached fhe lowest mark since the federal government established a guage here in 1901. Stagnant water just a few feet from where steamboats once docked 50 years ago was measured at less than five feet by R. J. McClurg, U. S. meteorologist. The lowest previ- cus mark was Dec. 2, 1910, the guage showing five feet three inches. No water has run over the Fargo dam for two weeks. Pioneers can not recall any lower stage and contrast it with the fa- mous flood of 1897 when the waters rose more than 40 feet above the top of the unofficial guage used at that time. From 1857, when Anson Northrup constructed the first steamboat ever to operate on the river, until 1886, the river was the main highway, aside from the famous Red River oxcart| trail, between Breckenridge and Win- | nipeg. In 1886 parallel railroads forced the steamboat companies out of business, For many years after that the river remained navigable and still retains that government designation, al- though boats other than small ones long since have disappeared from its Don’r you like the idea of aged flavor? That's the secret of Clicquot’s goodness. And it takes time to perfect.

Hot tunes by radio entertainers and Phonograph artists, cold blasts from mechanical refrigerators are all the same to Uncle Sam in his quest of new taxes with which to balance this year's federal budget. There is now a tax of 5 per cent of the manufacturer's sale price on ra- dio sets, combination radio-phono- graph sets and on phonograph rec- ords, the same being estimated to yield $9,000,000 this year. There is a 5 per cent manufacturers’ sale tax on mechanical refrigerators, designed to yield $5,000,000. Even though the radio set, or com- bination radio-phonograph set, is merely a built-in part of a table, a book case, a desk or a grandfather clock, the tax applies to the entire Piece of furniture since the law cov- ers “all articles designed and manu- factured for the accommodation of a radio receiving set or a combination radio and phonograph set.” 590 TAX ON RADIOS, COMBINATION RADIO PHONOGRAPAS, VICTROLA RECORDS, SS, | new one. All phonograph records are subject to the 5 per cent tax. | Household type mechanical rgvrig- jerators (regardless of whether oper- jated by electricity, gas or kerosene) | are taxed at 5 per cent of the manu- jfacturers’ sale price. This, however, does not apply to large commercial refrigerators of a type not used in the household. (Of course, the owner of an electric refrigerator also pays the 3 per cent tax on household electricity, contained in another section of the tax law. The owner of an AC radio set does likewise. If he has a battery set and buys a new battery for the same, he pays a 5 per cent tax on the battery as a radio accessory; though as an auto accessory a battery is taxed at only 2 per cent.) In some cases, the,5 per cent tax on radios and refrigerators is ab- sorbed by the dealer. In other cases, there have been negotiations looking to 50-50 payment of the tax by the | manufacturer and the dealer. * { JOHNSON NAMED 70 FEDERAL BENCH BY PRESIDENT HOOVER Man Who Put Al Capone and Others Behind Prison Bars Wins Promotion Chicago, August 10—i.P)—George E. Q. Johnson, the man who was largely instrumental in putting Al +9500} Capone behind prison bars, has been | named by President Hoover as fed- eral judge for northern Illinois. The appointment, announced in Washington Tuesday, was interpret- ed by Chicago friends of the federal sters and politicians to prison for evading their income taxes. At the same time the president named Assistant U. S, Attorney Dwight H. Green to take Johnson's place as chief federal prosecutor in Chicago. Both are recess appoint- ments and must be confirmed by the senate when it meets in its short ses- sion in December. For three years Johnson, a quiet, slender little man with a shock of unruly hair, has been a thorn in the | side of Chicago's gangland. The way to decimate gangland’s ranks, he reasoned, was to strike at them with the income tax, and strike he did. Ralph Capone, brother of “Scar- face Al’ was the first of the “big boys” to feel the full effect of the district attorney's campaign. Terry Druggan, Frankie Lake, Jack and, Sam Guzik, and Frank Nitti, once the reputed “paymaster” of the ! Capone gang, were among others who ‘were outwitted by the soft-spoken little man in the district attorney's office, who worked on the theory ; that once a gangster is convicted his ; dominion begins to fade away. | Throughout his anti-gangster cam- |Paign Johnson had little to say. “I'll talk,” he said, “with indict- ments and verdicts,” And the indictments and verdicts held an 11-year sentence for Al Capone, who is now serving out his time in the government prison at. | Atlanta, Ga, |Piccard Finds Leak | In Stratosphere Bag Zurich, Switzerland, Aug. 10.—(®)— Professor Auguste Piccard, ready for} his second ascension to the stratos- |phere, located a gas leak in the ioni- |zation chamber of his balloon Wed- 4300| district attorney as a reward for his Nesday and promised to have it re- | 100 per cent record in sending gang-|paired by night. | The meteorological bureau advised him, however, that storms were ap-/| proaching over the mountains and that Thursday probably would not be a good day for the start. Prof. Piccard, working in the gondola of his balloon, seemed undiscouraged by the delay. Mme. Piccard, his constant companion, also expressed confidence that he would succeed.

Be- cause, when the chick attains its full just twice as fast as its companions. For it has four legs. Over a month old, the chick is in excellent health.
