> Insurance Man at Savannah Kills His Wife and Himself SAVANNAH, Ga„ Dec. 13.—H. B. Webb, an insurance solicitor em ployed by the Insurance Company of West Virginia, early tonight shot and killed his wife and then killed himself, in front of 114 President street. East, where Mrs. Webb lived. She and her husband had been sep x arated. Tonight Webb took his po sition in front of the house and waited for Jier to come home. With little warning, he fired at her, using the contents of his revolver, except one bullet. He then turned the weapon on himself, snooting himself under the chin. He and the woman were both dead whgn they were car ried into the Marine hospital, a half block away. Mrs. Webb formerly was Miss Nita Jones, of Statesboro. They had been here but a short time. good hem vy 11 ih iy 1 it: i i li i H ncv Dripii tßqi ntftbn Vigorous Health Only as Far Away as the Use of Pep to-Mangan Creates Rich, Red Blood Pepto-Mangan Obtainable in • Liquid or Tablets—lnsist on ‘"Gude’s,” the Genuine 'There is really no reason why men oi; women with thin, watery blood and consequent poor health should remain in that unfortunate condi tion.

In an effort to answer these ques tions, the Rev. Dr. Guy S. Inman, though wishing to say “no” to both, cites the state department as au thority for the statement that al ready 86.000 Americans have asked for passports to spend the winter season on the island. Leopold Dolz, Cuban consul gen eral. when he learned that Dr. Ink man was becoming alarmed at the prospect of transportation lines to his country becoming a sort of na tional cocktail route for Americans, hastened to deny that Cuba is about to become the meca for the “lib erty-loting" who want to regulate their own habits. Dr. Inman has appealed to the In terchurch World Movement to enlist church organizations in a campaign to prevent'those who want to drink and gamble finding a southern way out. “A definite attempt is being made to make Cuba, particularly Havana, the Monte Carlo of the western world.” he said. “The winter season in Cuba generally is ‘gay,’ but this year efforts will be made to add new ‘attractions.’ Horse racing and other Excess Profit Tax Repeal Is Urged By William B. Colver; WASHINGTON, Dev. 14.—Repeal of excess profits tax law was urged today by William B. Colver, of the I federal trade commission, as ouei means of forcing down living costs.! “It seems Qufte clear,” said Colver in an interview, “that one of the chief contributing causes to the high cost of living is the excess profits tax. Certainly it is both a burden; and a temptation to business. “In the beginning the tax, as I un derstand it, is not a revenue device at all. During the war when it be came necessary to fix prices, it was found that there was a wle range in the cost of producing any given commodity. One concern or a group of concerns, it was found, could pro duce the commodity at a price which often left no profit at all to other concerns or which made it impos sible for them to operate. There thus was a wide range be;ween high cost operation and low cost opera tion. So long as the theory of fixing a single price was adhered to, '.t was necessary to fix that price high enough to bring into production the needed output of high cost oper t tion. The excess profits tax was proposed as a means wheroy undue profits which might accrue to low cost operations could be brought back into the treasury to provide in part the money with which the government could pay the high fixed price. “In the excess profits tax when a concern has reached beyond what is considered to be its normal in profitableness, the surplus is par tially taken from it by increasing percentages. What follows’ Waste and extravagance; or an? effort to make as much profit with the e ccess profits tax in operation as though it were not in operation. That is done by charging exeess profit tax I charges to cost prices. It moans! collection from all the people, v hen I the 60 per cent excess profits tax I rate has been reached, of a dollar, I unnecessarily, in order that 40 per/ cent may be added to the divisible profit.” Microbes Run on Schedule LONDON. —' Influenza microbes have a regular program by which they recur in cycles of thirty-three weeks, according to the Medical Re search Committee.

The bet ter element of the island recognizes the dangers of the winter reason a-, planned, and English-speaking resi dents are ready to contribute SIOO,- 000 to start a counter movement.” Mr. Dolz denied that the island was becoming a Monte Carlo. He said no plans were on foot to legal ize roulette or other games that fea ture the lyionaca resort. “Racing is attracting many Ameri cans to Havana this season as usual,” he said. “There is betting on the horses, as there is in New- York, with the difi'e.ence that in Cuba the government protects the bettors, while n New York the man who wins has no redress if the per son with whom he wagers fails to jay. It is legal in Cuba to buy a cocktail. In New York, according to the papers, you sometimes can buy a drink, but it is not legal. “I have never heard of English speaking residents of Cuba objecting to racing and cocktails. If they should raise a fund in this connec tion, it would probably be for more of the same.” $250,000 Is Required To Replace 22 Bridges Destroyed in Fulton Two bundled and fifty thousand dollars is the estimated cost of re placing the .twenty-two bridges in Fulton county known to have been swept away by the torrential down pours early this week, according to county officials. Oscar Mills, chair man of the public works committee of the Fulton county commission, says it will be impossible to rebuild the bridges at present and that it will be several weeks before even temporary bridges are installed. The bridges.-' known to be down are: Randall Mill bridge; Piedmont Road bridge, over Peachtree creek; Cheshire bridge, at Peaville creek, Cheshire bridge, at Peachtree creek; Moore's Mill bridge; Waterworks bridge, on the waterworks road; Bohler bridge; the Wieucha bridge, over Crystal creek; Oglethorpe Ivive bridge, over Crystal creek; Campbell ton Road bridge, over Utoy creek; Cascade Road bridge, over the Ctoy creek; Forrest Road bridge, at ,South rjver; Newnan Road bridge, near Little’s mill; Biyant Road bridge; Mount Olive Road bridge; Fairburn Road bridge, at Camp creek; Long Island Creek bridge; Johnson Road bridge, at Proctor’s creek; Crooked Road bridge, at Woodall creek; Cedar street bridge, in Center Hill; Baker’s Ferry Road bridge, at Camp Creek. ,The damage to the approaches to the Mason’s and Turner’s and Gar rett bridges has not yet been fully ascertained. Sweeping Deportation Os Reds Asked in Bill WASHINGTON, D. C.—Exten sion of exclusion and deportation laws to aliens affiliated with “any organization which writes, prints or distributes,” matter advocating the overthrow of the government by violence, sabotage or assassination of public officials was proposed in a bill introduced by Representative Johnson, Republican, Washington, chairman of the immigration com committee. It would reach all alien members of the Industrial Workers of the World and like organizations, he said, while mere membership un der present laws does not constitute ground for deportation.” No “overt act” would be necessary since all of the organizations against which it is aimed print and circulate, anarchistic literature, Representa tive Johnson said. U. S. Liberals Propose New Political Party £jT. LOUIS, Mo.—The national conference of liberals, in session here, will organize a new i olitieal party if result s of the “post-card" campaign indicate the people it, delegates asserted last week. The platform adopted is to be printed on postcards and sen: throughout the country, and if this wins sufficient adherents insure success to a new party it was said a national convention would be call ed before July 1 next, to nominate candidates for the presidency and vice presidency. At today’s session the conference considered the report of the committee on political pro cedure, and it is expected the con vention will end after acting on it Distance No Obstacle to This Danish Bride-to-Be NEW YORK.—With 12.000 miles of I ocean and mountains between *them.
