It is estimated that 70 percent of the national income is not subject to direct | taxation—income which comes from gov- ernment bonds, or is exempt ‘rom taxation because its owners’ total receipts are be- low the levels touched by the income tax law. That provides a pretty sound reason for public laxness about taxation. A ma-| jority feel that it is no trouble of theirs— that it is a problem belonging strictly to ! that minority which must pay direct tax- | We ill »ev taxes, if we earn a thou- ; sand a year or a hundred thousand—and ; the bulk of governmental income comes | from those whose incomes are in the low- er brackets. We pay taxes when we go to a movie, buy food, turn on an electric light, take a spin in the car, go fishing, or do anything else. We poy them when we are asleep —-the maker of the bed, mattress and} blankets paid taxes, which he passed on to those who bought his product. The more he paid, the more we pay to sleep! Tax-ireedom, whether for an indivi- dual or a business, is a beautiful illusion, and it will never be anything else. If your income falls within the 70 percent mention- ed, don’t be pleased about it. You’re pay- ing your share of excessive taxation. And you’ll continue to pay until you do some- | thing about it. A THRILLING SPORT Recent feats of several young Ameri- cans in gliding have stimulated interest in. that thrilling, but not necessarily danger- ous, sport. There are already about 50 glider clubs in the United States, while more are being formed. The glider, as is well known, is a light flying machine without motors, whose op- erator keeps it in the air for varying pe- riods, sometimes several hours, by taking advantage of the natural air currents. The start of the glider from the ground has : been thus described: Ten or 12 men run against the wind with a long rubber cable attached to the glider, while others hold the glider untill «| the cable is stretchef, and then let go. The operation is similar to that of getting a kite into the air. The glider is cut loose by the pilot when the desired altitude is veached. Gliders are usually launched from the top of a hill so that the beginner may make a gradual descent into the valley below. With proper instructions, gliding can be learned with little risk, as the first flights are made at heights of only 10 or 12 feet. At one glider school more than 800 flights were made in a year without injury to a single student. Besides the attractiveness of gliding as a mere sport, it is a most desirable pre- liminary to learning the operation of mo- tored airplanes. Some air transport com- panies require their pilots to have glider li- censes in addition to those for the opera- tion of airplanes, ARTIFICIAL WOOL Many new and amazing developments in the adaptation of new fibres to textile manufacture.which-haye taken. plage in re- cent years, of which the production and widespread use of rayon is an outstanding example. Now we have “artificial wool” de- rived from the ramie plant, which is found chiefly in China, Japan and India. Efforts are being made, with pros- pects of success, to cultivate the plant in America, especially in California, Louisi- ana and Florida. It is said that the cost of this artificial wool is only about one-third as much as sheep wool. While it is admitted that the finished product is not quite equal to natural wool, being less soft and pliable, also being coarser and less resilient, it affords a very practical and less expensive substitute for | It is believed that at present the fiber may be most effectively used in com- bination with natural wool in the manufac- ture of suitings, blankets, carpets and the like. But no one can predict what some pro- cess yet to be discovered may accomplish. new A few years ago a group of scientists sought to refute the old adage “Yon can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” They obtained fibers through a chemical treat- ment of the substance obtained from sows’ ears and used these to make a purse closely resembling silk. Perhaps we may yet have perfectly good wool without sheep. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN WoCCogooCGRCCCOCRCCCES Daily Cross- 2 pitehoss, inner course 6. Soak up 9.
