Levies on beverages and tobacco have been in 'operation S0 long that most men know how this tax has become effective. The consumers are the ones who pay. There is a three per cent. tax on all motor \-ehxne's,.payable by manu- facturers, producers and Importers. The same tax is applied to manufac- turers’ sales of musical instruments, jewelry, sporting goods, and cameras. Getting into 'the realm of finance we find that bonds, debentures, and certificates of indebtedness must pay 5 cents on each $100 of amount be- fore December 1. Capital stock is- sues and transfers, conveyances af real estate, drafts or checks not pay- able at sight or on demand, custom house entries; playing cards, promis- sOry notes.except bank igotes issued or circulation, "and bills or agree- ments of sale are &ll subject to stamp taxation. The. federal tax on estates has been ‘boosted and now falls on estates of $25,000 or over by a scale beginning at 2 per cent. and rising to 25 per cént. of the value of estates in_-excess’ of , $10,000,000. Property left by soldiers and sailors is exempt from payment of this tax. { Any man who has a motor-boat on the river will pay $5 a year. Craft of this kind of over five net tons with fixed engines and not used exclusive- ly for trade or purposes of national defense will be listed in the class of yachts, and, as such must pay a tax based on so much the running foot, or length. Oil sent by pipe lines is taxed 5 per cent. on the amount paid for the goods and manufacturers all chewing gums ‘‘or substitute there- for.” Sporting goods and games will pay a general tax of 3 per cent.

There are graduated surtaxes of from 1 to 50 per cent. on incomes between $5,000 and $1,000,- 000, The average man, however, will not concern himself with these things. Other items are: Four per cent. tax on corporations, joint stgck com- panies and Insurance cbmpanies. Grape juice and.ather soft drinks are “ taxed one . tent per gallon. Tax on, prepared syrups and extracts for ; non.alcoholic’ drinks graduated t:r‘om‘& to 20 cents a gallon. House taxes on gas and electric service elim- “inefeds Tax of ‘one cent per $1 on the premium charged on marine, casualty, and - inland insurance. Nickel theaters and shows, rides and outdpor park amusements and fairs with & maxirdum admision fee of ten cents are exempted. from paying.a tax. Members of all clubs, exocept certain fraternal orders, paying more than $12 annual dues must pay 10 per cent. tax. - .There is a special tax of 10 per cent on munitions manufacturers to J"‘nulry 1, 1918. Also, there is a zone tax, effective July 1, 1918, on second- class publications, with "different rates for reading-matter and ‘alvertising matter. Along the same lm... there 18 an additional tax of ¥ e ‘pound until July 1, 1919, and” % cent thereafter on religious, fraternal, ag- ricultural and similar pubHcations. This about covers the entire bill. It can be readily seen that the govern- ment has in reality thrown a blanket tax oyer the-entire nation and that few, if any, will escape paying their share of the burden of.war. THEY MUST BE FED. Hunger is a terrible thing. It can- not be appretiated, however, until the individual actually goes through an experlem:s of being without food tor a'goodly time. A man who is ac- customed to three good meals a day never allows his thoughts to dwell upon hunger. The very subject is so distasteful to him he seldom, if ever, allows it to present itself. If it does, another plece of steak, a bow! of soup, or a sandwich and, presto! the thought is gone. Before ‘this war is over there may be many hungry men in the world. And, for that matter, women too. The world is in & peculiar condition. A great number of its producers have been forced to lay down their lmple- ments of peace and take up the deadly guns. This means that many farmers who hitherto got something out of the soil, something with which to stock the larders of the world, are now idle,—so far as producing foodstuffs is concerned. The harvesters of yes- terday are the warriors of today. The same is true of the cattle-breeders and the men who work in produce houses. Many of them have been called to the front. All these things add to the seriousness of the situa- tion. The world is in a preearious position when it comes to food. Un- less. the American people ' begin to realize the value of food ‘economy they may feel the pinch of hunger. In order to more fully impress this thought upon the minds of those who can see 1o stuffs by pra.ctlclng the virtue of tem- perance in eating, it might be well to think upon the enormity of the armies now in the field and tHbse getting ready to enter the fray. When Brazil declared war on Germany last week there were half a milllon men called to the colors,—or rather already with the colors. That is the size of Brazil's army. And yét that is but compara- tively a small crowd when the previ- ous enlisted men of other nations are considered. It is estimated by high authority at Washington that there is close to 40,000,000 men under arms today in the entire world." Our na- tion has more than a million, and in a short time will have two million men called by the Selective Service law. These millions’ must be fed, and they are doing nothing to glean their own foodstuffs from the fleld and farm. ‘Who then is going to supply the great amount of stuff they will consume? The answer is, the American nation. Let us not be mistaken about this plan of conserving thé nation’s food. It will all be needed, every ounce of it. The President of the United State: has appealed to every house-wife in the count?' to nelp in the work at hand. He has called ‘upon each in dividual in the na.tion to do some- thing toward preventing waste of food. The call must not be in vain. Otherwise we shall begin to see the effects of our extravagance.this time next year. Some few wealthy per- sons may bel able to purchase food if everyone now takes a hand in de- stroying the present supply. It must be remembered, however, poor have to live, and over and above all there are the soldiers who are in Europe and who will be in Europe fighting the battles of Dem- ocracy. ‘They must be fed. It is for each American to help save so their brothers in arms will not auflar the unga of hunger.

Migrating Birds. For several days before I left Ver- mont I had the pleasure of the com- pany of some migrating winter wrens in the garden and undergrowth near. It is astonishing how noisy auch tiny birds can be—not only with 'the call “cerrrip,” or sometimes a sharp chick, much like the song sparrows’ notes quickly repeated—or bustling about among the leaves in localities they frequent. This tiny bird—the wintex wren— is of a dark brown color and only four inches in length; its tall, which stands erect over its back, is a little more than an inch long. It also bobs or courtesies at times when observed, and when looking for reason for saving food-' that the food it seems to skip rather than fiy from one log to another. It has a wonderful song which Frank Bolles says, “is sent from heaven to glve joy to the shadows of a swamp,” where it is often found. A day or two later, hearing a faint, lisping note from a large maple tree near, and looking quickly, a little brown creeper was seen wending its Wway up the trunk, 'and from there fly- ing to the base of the next tree. From early October until past the middle ‘'several hermit thrushes were often seen among floeka Jof migrating birds. The hermit thrush, winter wren and brown creeper, with robins and 'spar- rows of different kinds are all known to spend the winter in Rhode Island. t —ANNA E. COBB, in Providence Journal.

The Allies must be prepared for bigger disasters in Russia than any which have occurred. The Germans are aiming at Petrograd, at control of Finland, and the cutting of railway connections. with Archangel and Mur- man, the northern ports now the sole means of gettirig supplies from Brit- ain and France. The occupation of Oesel Island, giving the Germans con- trol of the Gulf of Riga, and com- manding the entrance of the Gulf of Finland, is but.a stepping-stone for further aggressive movements. The Russian port of Reval is, according to reports, being evacuated, and the Provisional government i{s moving to Moscow. If the German stroke— aimed at putting Russia entirely out of the war—is not substantially par- ried, the embarrassments will be keenly felt. With most nations, acute pressure from a hated enemy is sufficient to still violent conflict within. Unfor- tunately Russia’s conglomeratioy of races and Her enormous expanse of thinly populated territory make '= pulling together of forces jextremely difficult. The cities and towns are saturated with extreme socialism. The peasantry, with more national spirit, has little organism for expressing it- self. German occupation of Petro- grad would .probably give added pow- er to the Bolsheviki element—which seeks a separate peace—rather than cause this element to combine with the more solid elements. The disor- ganization and confusion of Russian internal business would be intensified sixfold. In August, 1915, Premier Lloyd Gedrge uttered a prophecy con- cerning Russia that is more interest- ing, in view of present events, than accurate. Speaking of the Germans, he said: . Let them beware, for they are un- shackling Russia. With their im- mense artlllery they are shattering the rusty bars, the fetters, from the strength of the people of Russia. You can hear them shaking their power- ful limbs free from the stifling debris, and .preparing for the conflict with'a Aew spirit. “Phey are hammering a swqrd “that wili ‘destroy them, and trsq}ng a great nation which will | wield it with a more potent stroke I.\'Ad mightier sweep than it ever yet commanded: * + In spite of 'what has occurred and is occurring,; Russia’ supported by its democratic l.lllqs, is likely to sustain new. shocks. . The discipline of defeat will finally . bring that sober use of ! liberty which heralds. a new and mightier power. Russia is now help- less, but it will endure for centuries, and Germany is earning a legacy of Slav hate that will far outlast this war Give spurs Humanity No “Ghost” For Them. (Cleveland Plain Dealer) One of the inspiring aspects of the situation touching the “Government's activity in the prosecution of the war lles in the large number of men and women whp are offering all or part of their tiine to the nation without salary or material recompense of any sort. Men whose personal ingomes run into high figures sit at desks in Washing- ton directing great Government enter- prises involving the republic’s war effi- clency. They are directing railroad policies, handling food and fue! prob- lems, controlling the manufacture of munitions and airplanes, counselling | DOING HIS BIT JOSEPH A. GLOVER. ' Sacrificing a growing law practice to the call of his country, Joseph A. Glover, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Glover of 24 Spring street, put aside his Gladstone for Butts and the mufti for khaki. Mr. Glover is a product of New Britain public schools and ‘is also a graduate of Yale Sheffield Scientific school class of 1913. and Yale Law school, class of 1916. He opened a law office in this city and won a steadily increasing clientele. But Uncle Sam decided to take a hand in the war and sent out a call for young men to become officers. Mr. Glover entered the second school for officers at Plattsburg and was granted a second lieutenant’s commission at the conclusion of a period of inten- sive training. He was first assigned to Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass., and later transferred to Westfield. While at the latter camp he was appointed to the regular army. He is now in England. Before enlisting in the American forces, Mr. Glover lived with his parents, his sisters, Margaret and Rose, and his brother, James. in the construction of powerful naval units; ‘they are unifying Government processes and lending their executive &kill to help make the American peo- plé a factor for democracy on the Eu- ropean battle-front. As lberal as Congress and the peo- ple have been in furnishing funds for war, they might hesitate to approve the financial burden that would be necessary were these hundreds of vol- unteer - workers paid full value for their services. It is a matter for local satisfaction that several of the most useful of these unpaid volunteers at ‘Washington are Clevel&nd men. Not only at the national scapltal but the ‘mriost uset\x F ese unpaid vol- unteerserviéé Withisut pay am- ple expression. ' Federal food admin- istration in Ohio is carried on by un- paid volunteers. The same is true of fuel administration. The; army of workers for whom the “ghost” never walks is a tribute to the patriotism of Ohio in the war. National Woman’s Party. (Chicago Tribune) It is clear that the National Wom- an’s party should begin studying “the psychology of their enemies.”” Oppon- ents of suffrage are not won over by insults to the President. They are not convinced by needless rumpuses. Nothing could be less complicated than the psychology of their enemies. It perceives that there is a large war raging. ‘All its ideas focus there. It cannot tolerate insults to the President in wartime or needless disturbance in wartime. It thinks agitation by the National Women’s Party at this juncture a nuisance, and a nulsance not only uncalled for but sure te de- feat its purpose. Until the Woman’s National party took to raising hob, the suffrage move- ment in America had a bright outlook. English women had got their way by knocking off agitating and devoting themselves to war work. American women had the same opportunity. It was even suggested here and there in America that It might pay to give wo- men the vote as a war measure in or- der to end the controversy and re- lease energies that might be profitably employed in way work. Now, with the N. W. P. raising hob when hob is least wanted, the originators of that sug- gestion may be sorry theyv spoke. They do not see that war work would gain anything by releasing the energies of the N. W. P. They are determined that these ““mad sisters of La Follette’ shall not win, and if defeating them involves defeating respectable suffra- gists as well, then respectable suffra- gists must put up with it or call oft the N. W. P. ““Kerensky's ' Personality. (Milwaukee News) Personality wins out where intelli- gence and opportunity fail. A man of personality can take every point and gain his ends. His are the tricks and his the honors of the game. Today we see the triumph—at least up to the present—of the personality of the Russian Premler, Kerensky. Op- posed by a large section, disliked for his tactics and reviled, yet where his magic personality comes into personal contact, he can sway even his adver- saries to obey his will. Personality formed no small part of the power of Abraham Lincoln. Those who ,were contemporary declare im- pression of immense power felt when brought into that great presence. Personality is largely a matter of cultivation. Tt rests with the indi- vidual to develop the strong points of his makeup in such manner as to con- ceal the weak ones. On this secret depends success. And success is mor>2 and more a question -of personality seen and felt. Individualism when carried to ex- cess is apt to degenerate into sheer eccentricity. Where this is avoided by a sense of humor, very often, and self- analysis usurps its ' place, there you have flmahed personality. FACIS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY BY LIEUT. WITZHUGH GREEN, U. 8. N. Pelorus. No, it is not an animal; not a dumb brute, but a dumb campass, l.e., fixed and without. needles. Patiently it stands at the end of a battleship’'s bridge through the long watches, never tiring, never falling, a stauncl kindly friend of the officer-of-the- deck—except sometimes on dark nights when he kicks it on the shin and the poor thing must kick back. A pelorus is an upright brass tube, 6 feet high and 6 inches in diameter, supporting a 1l4-inch compass bow Wwhich is protected by a hood. The bowl carries a brass plate on which are lettered the degrees and points of the compass. An electric lamp un- derneath illumines the dial at night. Mounted above is a small telescope which may be directed at any object such as a buoy or another ship. By an attached pointer the object’s bearing is shown. Piloting is navigating by a serles of bearings, directions of known ob- jects. Warships are always snoopind around, going all sorts of places at all sorts of times—'No wonder I'm getting gray,” complains the poor, harassed navigator. Professional pilots are seldom engaged. It is considered highly impraper for a naval officer to fall back on local talent. Yet the law permits him to; for there are thousands of inlets along our coast through which even the charted channels are mysteries, except to a few fishermen who have used them for years. “Land Ho!” ecries the Lookout. The Captain turns instantly to the Pelorus and takes a bearing. Pres- ently a white lighthouse gleams through the mist. ‘‘Bears west, sir,” says the Navigator. ‘“We're a little too far south.” I “Take a bow and beam,” orders the Old Man. He means observe the exact times when the landmark fis 45 degrees to the right of left of the ship and when it is directly opposite the ship. With pencil and rulers one can see that in the noted interval of time the ship has run a distance equal ; to that of the lighthouse away when abeam. Average cruising speed is 12 knots an hour or one knot in five mint:tes. Since the knot is taken as 2,000 yards, this reduces to 200 yards a minute. If three minutes elapsed while the light moved from “broad” (45 de- grees) on the bow to a beam, the dis- tance at which it is passed is then 1,200 yards. At once the ship’'s posi- tion* gn the chart is known and the¢ Captain can light his fresh cigar. Thence up the bay and harbos channels are a multitude of buoys beacons, shapes and lights. Every 500 yards of the main channel it marked. As each is approached the pelorus is kept busy ‘“‘angling” them in order that the ship’s track may be plotted.
