Tangled in the fight are the makings of a local politieal revclution. Until it is settled creditors of Chicago may scratch for their money. At the base of Chicago’s recurring financial trouble lies an antiquated tax assessing system—one which has been the very heart of some political ma- chines. ~As the price of solvency, bank- ers, who already have loaned $284,000, 000 to the city, the county, demand that this system be re- formed by the Legislature now in ses- sion.

It simply is that an appointive assessor of property values replace 36 elective ssors and a board of tax review, and that.d-finite unchangsable dates for as- secement and collection of taxes be es- tablished.

Dr. Oliver ch.-llmed the contentions of many astronomers, it was his belief, after years of nmfly that many meteors are fragments of other worlds, shattered, perhaps, in terrific celestial collisions. He was convinced, he said, that many meteors that have fallen on the earth’s surface were not “mere left- over chunks of matter.” He said cross- sections of many celestial fragments showed that they had been formed by slow 1 processes over millions of years on the surface of some huge planet outside the earth’s solar “It seems to me,” he said, “that we have here fragments of the debris of the great bodies, such as planets or dead suns.

The Fourth Court of Civil Appeals, in pointing 6ut the fallaciousness of an argument before it here yesterday, said it was reminded of the noted toting case from a western court, ing tiat if a man were standing still he was not carrying a pistol, and if he b moving, he was traveling and had a right to carry it. The ruling was attributed to the ple- turesque transpecos judge. MEXICAN BOXER STABBED Cervantes, Who Was to Have Met American, May Die.

This pamphlet—a publication of the National Council of Student Christian Associations—was made up of seven cl which in the lan- guage of the preface itself constitutes ‘a combination of the findings of seven separate and comparatively independent | groups.” The prefatory statement sig- nificantly adds that ‘there was no at- tempt to secure unanimous agreement yt.h.commmlmhmymzchanm ueunnoftchnm TR sub- for study and discussion.
