The bureau’s study showed, however, that insufficient moisture in many parts of the country had damaged pastures and meadows and had af- tected fall seeded grains. Rain was needed also, the review soil and the seeding of fall grains over large areas. The minimum of moisture, however, permitted harvest- ing to go forward rapldly, the view added, excepting a few places in the south. - Frosts occurred in Colorado and in the northern states from Minnesota eastward during the week, the re- d, but caused little damage. t damage reported by the vas confined largely to Michi- gan, where potato vines were affected and unmatured beans suffered. vaudeville, at 2:156 and 8:15 p.m. vaudeville, at 2:15 and 8:15 p.m. vaudeville, at 3, 6:30 and 9 Dm ville, at 2: Storm,” 9 Siren reported, for the preparation of the|mit in his home, his wife refusing to talk to him and not permitting his son CI suit for maintenance brought against him by his wife, Fannie I Church- man. t{r frequent insistence on the part of h i Newmyer & King appear for the hus- band.

McNeeley, colored, said to be a real estate broker. McNeeley had been charged by Wallace E. Cost- ner with receiving a deposit of $125 on the sale of a house; which, it i alleged, he had no authority to sell. The facts in the case did not warrant an indictment the grand jurors held. Other cases ignored were Matthew Curtis, bringing stolen property into Washington; William Smith, robbery, and Henry Woodson, housebreaking. BOARD VACANCIES FILLED. H. H. Hilton and W. S. Moorhead Appointed by President. Henry H. Hilton of Chicage and William S. Moorhead of Pittsburgh, have been named by President Hard- ing to be members of the Tax Sim- plification Board.

The Tax Simplification Board, which was established in the Treasury un- der the revenue act of 1921 to con- sider forms and procedure relating to the administration of the tax laws in the revenue bureau, reached prom- inence several months ago by 1ts recommendation for the consolidation of the accounts unit of the revenue bureau with the office of the super- visor of collectors.
