NO, A CLUB HOUSE FOR THE 77TH. HE EVENING WORLD invites attention to its proposal the a big club house be provided for the 77th Division, which is! made up of the drafted men from New York and places nearby In welcoming these men as they return, the city could do them and itself no greater service than by giving them a place where the spirit that has developed among them during the months abroad can ) continue to hold them together here. A club house can give them a rallying place and help them to get back into civil life, besides furnishing them a lasting testimonial of New York's appreciation of what they have done Such a club house would become one of the strongest centres in the city from which to keep up the work of Americanization aud epread the ideals of sound citizenship. Regiments of the 27th Division will return to their armories The 77th will have no gathering place, no lasting means of keeping together as a body of men who are part of the Nation's history, unless the people of New York provide the proposed club house. Already the plan has the support of well known New Yorkers— Cleveland H. Dodge, Stephen H. Olin, Mrs. Robert Bacon, Majer Delancey K. Jay, Major Archibald J. Thacher, William 'T, Manning, Mrs. J. Jurran, Mrs. J. Lloyd Derby, Walter Grafton and Mrs Russell H. Hoadley, among others. A club house for the 77th. Tet all New York take hold and help the 77th Association to make the plan a swift reality. | + WE VENTURE A PREDICTION.

State Comptroller Travis was right in maintaining that, though a State income tax might be inevitable as soon as the Federal income | tax is reduced, the present time would seem to the average citizen moet inopportune for making yet greater.levies upon individual income. The fact remains that the needs of the State Government for 1919 will require $10,600,000 additional revenue, while local govern | | Sepa How Copyright They Made Good By Albert Payson Terhune.

If I can make it work for ten miles 1 can send messages around | the world!” ‘ i So spoke a gray-bearded American in 1835. And { his defiant prophecy was laughed at by the world at large as the ravings of an incurable lunatic. He was Samuel Finley Breese Morse, an inspired jack-of-all-trades, a man who had dabbled in paint- ing, in the new fad known as “photography,” in sculpture and in several! other pursuits, besides hol, ing down a professorial chair at New York Une versity. A trip to France had started him to dabbling with electricity. For the three yea follow- ing that journey he had been wasting his time, so his friends declared, in pottering over an absurd invention which had turned his eccentric brain, This invention he called by the high-sound~ ing name of “The Electro-Magnetic and Chemically Recording Telegraph.” He actually claimed that he could make the machine tick off dots and! dashes which stood for alphabet letters and which could be transmitted by wire to great distances, Those who did not think him a fool did not see that the proposed invention could be put to any practical use. What was the sense ta sending silly dot-and-dash messages over a wire from place to place, whem is was expected that the new-fangled railroad traing would soon be carrying mail from New York to / Boston in the amazingly short time of eleven hours?) Unohecked by the ridicule and lack of interest) that greeted his genius, Morse worked away, day, and night, at his echome, He had already taken+! the first photograph in America and had made the first camera. These things had succeeded in spite of public ecopticism, 80, he knew, would the telegraph. It was when he had sent telegraph messages over the wire for a mile from the New York University laboratory in 1835 that he declared | \he could send them around the world, And with a fresh zeal he worked | over improvements on his machine, Two years later he had perfected the apparatus far enough to get it patented, He ran out of funds at this critical time; and he begged Con gress to appropriate $30,000 for carrying on the work. Congress refused, So did several foreign Governments he applied to. But after six more years of hammering at Congress he got an appropriation. And the #tey™ was plain sailing. Because he had a sublime faith in himscif and would not take no for an answer, Morse at last had his chance, ‘The first practical telegraph line was rigged up between Washington aa Bee His Friends Call Him a Fool. nee ]and Baltimore. And on May 24, 1844, in the presence of a wondering | throng that filled the Supreme Court room in the Capitol, the “test mes- | sage was ticked off. Morse had given Elizabeth Elisworth the honor of sending this despatch to Baltimore, where his assistant waited tremblingly to receive it. The telegraph instrument was as big and as complicated as a motor car engine, Miss Dilsworth was a slow operator, having just learned the Morse code. With much hesitation she ticked the irr following sentence from a Bible text, suggested to The First her by her mother: } Telegram. “WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT!" « $. 4 In an equally crowded room in Baltimore Morse’s assistant, H. T. Rogers, took the messag® and wrote it out for the benefit of the eager onlookers. “This,” says a chronicler, “was the first telegram ever sent and re- ceived, An era had dawned which was to knit the whole world together and to eliminate time and space, Morse's life work was vindicated. Yes, Morse had made good, And presently two continents were vying” with each other to do honor to the man who had been looked on Qs a visionary crank—the man whose calm faith in himsclf had risen shove | his fear of ridicule. ment needs will bring the total for the State to a figure estimated at from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 above the requirements for 1918, This money must be raised and the plan is to raise it by a one of one and one-half per cent. income tax supplemented by a fle tax of one-half or one per cent. on tangible personal property. It is hoped that the intome tax will reach some of the huge volume of taxable wealth in the form of intangible property which is sworn oif by billions cach year under the present system of assessing personal property taxes. As one means of avoiding the immediate necessity of a State individual income tax, it had been suggested that the present three per cent. tax on the net incomes of certain classes of corporations be extended to cover corporations, partnerships and businesses generally. | This, it was calculated, would yield an additional $12,000,000, while | if the rate were raised to five per cent. the State could count on} $20,000,000 more. 2 significant note: A vast amount of business {is transacted within our State In this connection the State Comptroller made ; j cial of some kind, and the fact of my | 1 know a young woman who was Bre pad in business!
