T’ is railroad is generally regarded as commercially desirable, in that it will save transportation by providing a direct route between the wheat plains of the -west of Canada and Fort Nelson, on Hudson Bay.

FERRIS, Mgr., 615 W. 43d St. Dept. NEW YORK, N.Y. THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. 2—Q. How many deaths result an nually from automobile acicdents? 2 A. The Census Bureau says that in 1910, the latest figures avail able, there were a total of 7,5Z0 deaths from automobile accidents in the United States. 3Q. Is there any town in the United States which has no moving picture theater? 3 A. Harrison, N. J., has none. The town council passe dan ordinance placing the cost of a moving picture license at SIO,OOO, thus making it prohibitive for a movie theater to open there. The mayor of the town introduced the ordinance, and ad mitted that the purpose was to pre vent moving pictures from being shown there. 4 Q. Is the head of the sphinx that of a man or a woman? 4A. It is believed to be the head -of a woman. The body is that of a iion, with the wings of a bird and the tail of a serpent. 5 Q. How many Americans in ,the army of occupation married Ger man girls? 5 A. About 200 American soldiers have married German girls since the American forces reached the Rhine. These soldiers and their wives are soon to return to the United States. Future marriages of soldiers qn duty in occupied areas are forbidden. Of ficers of the American forces in Ger many contend that men without wives in Germany make the best sol diers. 6 Q. Will a person who has had influenza before catch the disease again ? 6A. The United States public health service says that is well known that an attack of measles or scarlet fever or smallpox usually protects a person against another attack of the same disease. To some extent this appears to be true of in fluenza.. j use now long sucn protec tion lasts is not known. 7Q. How long did it take Lincoln to deliver his famous Gettysburg speech? ?—A. Lincoln occupied about five minutes in reading his great oration. It was received without applause, probably because the hearers were too moved for demonstration. Mistak ing the silence, Lincoln said to a companion: “I have failed again.” Edward Everett, the renowned ora tor, also spoke at the dedication ex ercises at Gettysburg, his speech lasting two hours. He was splendidly received, but what he said was soon forgotten. 8 — Q. How did Canada get its name? 8— A. The name of Canada is due to a mistake. Canada was the native Indian word for village. When the French explorers first sailed up the St. Lawrence, they pointed to the land and asked its name. The natives who accompanied them misunder stood. They thought the explorers were asking about a group of wig wams on the shore, and they replied Canada—meaning village. 9Q. What is the meaning and origin of the Word “vamp?" 9 A. Vamp is an abbreviation of the word "vampire,” which means a person who preys on others. Accord ing to a superstition existing among the Slavic races of the lower Danube, the vampire is a spectral being with a human body which leaves its grave during the night and sucks the warm blood of living men and women while they sleep. The term has been popu larized by Kipling’s famous poem, “The Vampire.” 10— Q. Can you tell how to make old-fashioned lye hominy? 10—A. The following is a good recipe: Place twenty-five pounds white corn in a lye-proof container and add enough water to cover the corn to a depth of one inch. Dissolve one- pound of concentrated lye in a gallon of water and add this solution. Stir continually with a wooden ladle, until the hull of the corn begins to loosen. Pour off the lye water, and add cold water; rub the skins loose from the corn and float them off. Wash the corn through several changes of cold water; place it upon the stove with plenty of water, a little salt, and boil for two hours, or until tender. HK33CSS9HI PRICES SMASHED!

The Barocfin Mail Ordar Hou»« Nature Plays Mean Tricick on Woodpecker Who Hoarded Up Treasures Wh 'Si< ' B UKIAH, CALI —Humans aren’t the only critters that store up treasures on earth in vain. An old redwood log found near here and recently split into firewood reveals the case of a frugal wood pecker who, some hundred years ago, stored up acorns against a rainy day, was called away on business, and returned tp find that the tree had grown around his "savings.” A slab of the log, now owned by Mr. R. S. Walt, of Berkeley, Cal., contains the acorns, incisted in the ancient trunk as the picture shows. According to the rings on the tree, old Mr. Woodpecker must have deposited his provender at least 130 years ago. And now—as is so often the case—another gets the unearned increment, while Mr. Woodpecker’s descendants scratch for their own. THE WILLY-NJCKY LETTERS (Copyright, 1920, by The Chicago Daily News Foreign Service.) The German kaiser’s own views of how the Russo-Japanese war should be fought, as well as his joy at be ing madi godfather to the czarevitch, are interesting matters touched up on in today’s installment of the cor respondence. The letters /were cop ied in the archives in Moscow and brought to the United States by Isaac Don Levine, staff correspondent of The Daily News. ■ “Gaeta:, March 29, 1904.—Dearest Nicky: You will, I am sure, be in terested in the cruise of mine in the Mediterranean. Gur voyage on the big Lloyd steamer Koenig Albert was most successful. We always had smooth water: even the Bay of Biscay behaved like the lake at Peterhof. When we had some breeze or sea it was direct from aft. The big ship—she displaced between 15,000-16,000 tons —was most com fortable without any motion, no vi bration from the engines, was very well kept and splendidly handled by her first rate captain. The kitchen was excellent, the company very merry. What a pity you could not be there, how you would have en joyed it all', The Spanish coast is very fine, but without vegetation. Vigo Is a grand bay with rpom for all the fleets of the world. British fleets visit there every month; Henry was there last year with our squadron. The straits are imposing, but Gibraltar is simply overwhelm ing. It is' the grandest thing I ever saw. Words are utterly inadequate to give the slightest idea of what it is. Grand, in its nature and by the military power that is stored on and around this mighty rock. “In military circles I found much interest in the war but no prepara tions for it and no animosity against Russia. Port Mahon is a quiet and the cleanest Spanish town, with a pretty land locked harbor. Some thing like Malta in miniature. Naples is too lovely and bewitching, summer climate, lots of flowers, car nations especially, orange trees full of oranges. The king was well and much interested with the war. which he is accurately studying. He men tioned that he had news of the mo bilization of the Turkestan and Cau casian troops, who w’ere already mov ing. I said I thought it most un likely, and that I had never heard a word about it. I twitted him about the Balkans, which always have, ft seems, a great attraction to him, and said that nothing would happen there, the great empires being re solved not to stand any nonsense from anybody. By the by I see from the papers that our treaty of com merce seems to ’ we come to a dead lock. I fancy the Geheim-Rathe (privy councilors) and Tschinowaiks are gone off to a sweet slumber, aft er having spoiled a lot of ink. more than is good, in fact. I would give anything to see it, what a lark it would be if you suddenly were to thump your imperial fist on the ‘table of green cloth’ and give the lazy ones a jump! After all one cannot wait forever considering the many months that have already been wasted. A promise of a nice picnic in Siberia will, T am sure, do won ders. Perhaps it would tend to quicken the pace of affairs if you were to send some person of impor tance to Berlin straight to Buelow to finish the game off with him per sonally; a man of firs* rate capacity and well versed in such matters: that would do mucn good. “Tomorrow we leave for Sicily—• Messina—where we shall spend Easter week. Good bye, dearest Nicky, God bless you and be with you through all the important times: you know how my thoughts are now with you. Best love to Alix. From your affectionate cousin and friend, “WILLY.” More Comment on Japan “Berlin, June 6, 1904.—Dearest Nicky: Your kind letter, which Krou pensky delivered to me two days ago, has greatly touched me. In these days, which are, of course, trying to you, your army and the country, it is doubly kind of you to give up so much time to me, but on the other hand it being- so I felt the more proud, as I may infer from this fact that you count upon me is your real friend, as you rightly express it. So it is. And I can as sure you that nobody follows all •.he phases of the war with greater ‘nterest and assiduity than I do. Your remark about Kouropatkin (commanding geieral in Asia) was a perfect revelation to me. I am most astonished at his short-sightedness in not implicitly obeying your com mands. He ought all the more to have followed your counsels, as you had been to Japan yourself, and therefore were a much more compe tent judge of the Japs than him. Your warnings were quite right and have been fully borne out by the facts. I only, hope to goodness the general won’t jeopardize the final success of your forces by rashly ex posing them to an- ‘echec’ before the whole of his reserves have joined him, which are, as I believe, still partly on the way. The old proverb of Napoleon still holds good—‘la vic toire est avec les gros battaiions’ (“Victory is on the side of the big gest battalions”); one can never be too strong for the battle; especially respecting the artillery; an absolute superiority must undoubtedly be es tablished to insure victory. “I had an interesting conversation about the war with the French mili tary attache, who, on my remarks that 1 thought it most astonishing that the French as your ‘allies’ did not send their fleet down to keep Port Arthur open till your Baltic fleet had arrived, answered that it was true, but that they had to reckon with other powers. After many hints and allusions I found out—what 1 always feared —that the Anglo- French agreement had the one main effect, viz.: to stop the French from helping you. Il va sans dire (it goes without saying) that if France had been under the obligation of helping you with her fleet or army I would, of course, not have budged a finger to harm her; for that would have been most illogical on the part of the author of the picture, ‘Yellow Peril. Does Not Want Mediation “I am sure England will by times renew her efforts to make proposals to you about mediation—it is in fact the special mission of Harding as I know, though you have already so strongly repudiated it and which is most presuming in the extreme on her part, seeing that the war has only just begun—she is afraid for her money and wants to get Tibet cheaply; I shall certainly try to dis suade Uncle Bertie (King Edward VII) as soon as I meet him from harassing you with any more such proposals. Should in the course of events mediation seem advisable to you it is clear that the first wish for it must come from you and you may be sure that I shall also always be at your disposal. I may compli ment you on the bravery and gal lantry of your soldiers and sailors, who deserve all praise and who have fought very well. I have- thought over your suggestion about the com mercial treaty and talked the matter over with the chancellor. We have no special interest respecting the place where the negotiations should be concluded, but as you kindly offer to send Witte over here (Count Ser gius Witte, Russian minister of finance) we will welcome his arrival and the sooner you invest him with your powers to negotiate the better for our two countries. I have se lected Major Count Lamsdorf my personal aide de camp, as military attache. He is instructed by me to Income Tax Dodgers Are Certain to Be Caught, Says David Lawrence BY DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright. 1020. for The Atlanta Journal.) WASHINGTON, March 5. —Some day the persons who thought Uncle Same would never have time to check up on individual returns will be just as surprised when they are indicted and punished as the persons who never dreamed that certain kinds of graft entirely unrelated to income taxes would be exposed to public view. Special experts are working with United States attorneys in the. prose tipn of cases in which tax returns have been falsified. Already there have been indictments, and jail sen tences. The government is not pub lishing all its information, but In ojie rather populous section of the country, it is estimated that at least $100,000,000 in taxes haven’t been paid that should have been paid. Slowly but surely government in vestigators are getting data. The treasury department’s agents have the authority to subjoena all persons who have records of dividends paid. For instance the government can, If it chooses, ask for a man’s check book and can get from his band the amount of his deposits. As a general rule, that isn’t done unless fraud is suspected and evidence is gathered for a possible prosecution. $40,000,000 Recovered It took fifty agents of the govern ment recently nearly three months jin the field to audit a big account and something like $40,000,000 was recovered when the job was over. Non-resident aliens can’t escape any more than can aliens who try to leave the United States without pay ing their taxes. A snecial machin ery has been devised to act in emer gencies. There are certain ports of the United States where agents of the utmost resourcefulness are sta tioned. They know how to get court orders in a jiffy to stop an. indiv-aual frdm going across the international line or getting his passports for an ocean voyage if income taxes have not been paid. Information about every conceiv able activity from natural re sources to farming to shipping to manufacturing—every phase of hu man endeavor—is recorded by the governm ‘ through income tax re turns. Access to other government records is available, but nobody- else in the government, no other depart ment or bureau, can get hold of in come tax returns. These are care fully guarded from prying eyes. Yet a mass of statistical information of incalculable value will be ready with in the next two or three years. Mass figures will be given out some day showing the average cost to run a bakery, a candy shop, a shoe factory, a steel mill, and the profits made in each group and the costs of produc tion in each classification. e Groups In fact, that is one of the ways the government detects false returns. All the bakers are grouped, all the butchers, all the doctors, all the lawyers, all the farmers in certain Sections of the country, all the cot ton growers. Each has filed a return showing his cost of production am. deducting the expenses which he thinks he should be allowed to sub tract from the total of his income. Now, of course, it is improbable that all the bakers, for example, acted in a conspiracy to put down exactly how much their costs of production were in any year. Competitors do not engage in conspiracies. So on the face of it, the government has a gen eral collection of statistics on each trade, profession or business. And then when somebody comes along and wants to claim that he paid an employe or manager $50,000 a year, when nobody in the whole business, wholesale or retail, included any such return, the government •investigator takes the matter in hand. To be sure, some odd cases have arisen, and some big concerns have been on the carpet here about “ex cessive salaries.” And the govern ment has, in many cases, decided that the allowance for salary was beyond the average and the employer did not prove that his employe pos- consider himself as attached to your person solely, as it was in the days of Nicolai I and Alexander 11. He is only responsible in his reports to me personally and is forbidden once for all to communicate with anybody else, either the general staff or for eign office or chancellor. So you may intrust him with any message, in quiry, letter, etc., for me and make use of him in every respect as & direct link between us two. Should you like to send me one of your suite who enjoys your full confi dence, I will receive him with pleas ure, for I think it highly necessary during the grave evehts that yon should be able to quickly communi cate with me without the lumbering and indiscreet apparatus of chancel leries, embassies, etc. “I wonder what I am going to hear from Uncle Bertie at Kiel; at all events I will keep you informed. Now good-by, dearest Nicky; best love to Alix and your mamma and God protect you all, that is the sin cerest wish of ever your most affec tionate friend and cousin, “WILLY.” (The kaiser and his uncle, King Edward VII of England, met fre quently during this decade, the kaiser attending the annual regatta at Cowes and Edward visiting Kiel.) (Continued in Next Issue.) sessed the extraordinary qualifica tions or performed extraordinary duties which entitled the latter to be considered an exception to the rule. The returns of the general average of one’s trade or business competi tors is the best check the govern ment has on efforts to charge off to salaries sums that logically should be subject to the higher percentages of taxation or excess profits taxes. Many a man would prefer to pay an individual tax on SIOO,OOO rather than an excess profits tax on the same sum as a business profit, for In the second case he might have to give nearly half of it tq the gov ernment. Indeed, some people are lucky. Years ago, long before the income tax laws were ever thought of. cer tain men entered into contracts, recorded in their books each year and on the minutes of their corpo rations, paying themselves big sal aries or even specified sums of the net profits of the business. These sums are not taxable as excess prof its. The contracts cannot be invali dated by the government. But these cases are not numerous. Burden of Proof on Taxpayer Speaking of data on corporations, however, the government experts can tell at a glance what constitutes excessive cost of production. The burden of proof rests on the taxpay er. He may be able to explain why the salaries he pays or the expenses he incures are all out of proportion to the other men in the same busi ness. But his return is the kind likely to excite curiosity and start the machinery of investigation. And when the government agents begin examining books and minutes of corporations, they may find evi dence useful to the department of justice in prosecuting profiteering or combinations in restraint of trade. Prosecutions for improper returns on income taxes are not always left to the United States attorneys, be cause the latter haven’t the time to familiarize themselves with the in tricacies of such cases. Thousands of men are especially trained for investigation and prosecution. For failure to make a return on time, there is a penalty of SI,OOO plus 25 per cent of the tax due. For failing to pay tax when due or understate ment through negligence, there’s a penalty of five per cent and inter- 1 est. For making fraudulent return, the penalty is SIO,OOO and a year’s imprisonment plus 50 per cent add ed to the taxes evaded. And be sides, individuals at the same time are liable to prosecution under other statutes for perjury, conspiracy and other things that could keep a man in jail for years. Edwards and Marshall Put on Indiana Ticket INDIANAPOLIS, March 6.—Peti tions to place the names of Vice President Thomas R. Marshall and Governor Edwards, of New Jersey, on the preferential primary ballot in Indiana as candidates for the Democratic nomination for president, were filed with the secretary of state just thirty minutes before the time limit for filing such petitions had expired. Petitions for Vice President Mar shall and for William G. McAdoo had been prepared for several days, but due to the fact that the vice president had said he wished the Indiana delegation to go to the con vention uninstructed, friends of both had refrained from filing the peti tions. Supporters of Governor Ed wards sprang a surprise this after noon and filed a petition in his be half. Marshall supporters, watching the office of the secretary of state, immediately filed their petition, but friends of the former secretary of the treasury did not have time to get their petition in before the office was closed. Said a shrewd minister before the collection was taken up: “Those who arc in debt need not put anything on the plate.” The collection was dou ble.the usual amount. //WOMENS /7MOTHERS!V\ /DAUGHTERS!!

American Lumber Association Largest Os Kind in World NEW ORLEANS, March 6.—For mation of the American Lumber as sociation, the largest wholesale lumber organization in the world, w T as annbunced here tonight. Approximately a half billion dol lars is .behind the organization, it was stated. The association is com posed of leading wholesale lumber dealers in” all important cities in the United States —many with selling connections in all parts of the world. The announced purposes of the organization are: 1. —Standardize the buying and distribution of the wholesale lum ber business. 2. —Hpforcement of a rigid code of business ethics among lumber wholesalers. 3. —Systematize distribution so 'that no part of the market shall cry in vain for lumber While other parts of the market are glutted, and, 4. —Devise means for eliminating the present enormous wastage in the lumber industry. Headquarters will be established in Chicago and operations will be begun the latter part of March. L. R. Putman, of New Orleans, former director of advertising and trade extension of the Southern Pine as sociation, who made the announce ment, has been named manager of the association. L. Germain, Jr., head of the Germain Lumber com pany, Pittsburg, Pa., is president. The new association is patterened after the National Bureau of Wholesale Lumber distributors, formed during the war to serve the government’s lumber needs, Mr. Putman stated. It was stated that this is the first national organization of wholesale lumber dealers ever effected in this country. The central office in Chi cago, it w r as stated, will act as a lum ber clearing house for the country’s leading wholesalers through which close touch will be maintained with world needs enabling the association to distribute the nation’s lumber sup ply so as to meet the markets’ de mands at minimum expense.
