Er_ THE BILL 18 COMING DUE Have you ever noticed how cany it is to establish a charge or termpayment account in a dopartmt lit a tore? Hut no matter ijow easily tho credit in obtained, or how kiiiuII the payments, they come due regularly uud If uo( paid-?well, the law takes its noilrse and lite debtor suffers. The people of the Unltywl Statps are Just now waking up tojihe fact that they have been on a kIkuiRIc spending spree. Never did they use their public credit so freely, Rut the day of reckoning is here. The charge aocountH are coining due uud the payincntH will have to ho made. Just us the unwary customer is talked in to spending more than he can afford by the super-soiling ability of tin- expert clerk, so have un unwary people boon talked in to spendiub more than they cun well afford to pay, by the silver tongues of the polit iclAlis. In the latter cuso, however, tho people thought they were going to be given something for nothing ?that' the billions of dollars bunded out in the name of "relief" and "recovery" would be taken from somebody else's pocket. / Hut tin; (Jread) has ended. The taxgatherer's hand is going right down into John Jones' pocket*' to tuke out the money to pay the charge account, for the "gifts" to Jones. A new tux-rulnlng hill hus been thrown into the lap of Congress, that will have a tremendous effect on the earnings, the savings und the estates of every citizen. For camouflage and publicity purposes, it is designated as u "share the wealth" or "soak the rich" tax program. The Portland Oregonlun suys: "This 1s but the beginning . . . The government Sunta Claus is about to be withdrawn. . . Gradually he is to become overshadowed by another figure. .This one will appear to the taxpayer ore he plays out his part, like a government Shylock. There Is 110 other way. ' "Good old Uncle Sam is going to make the rich pay and pay. Nothing is said about making other people pay. Hut that will come later. We an- all going to pay?pay through the nose add pay till it hurts, in increased federal taxes down through the lower brackets. Our tax bill during the n?-xt generation is going to be a tiling high, wide and handsome, and af tlie same time fearsome. It is not going to fall lightly anywhere. It is going to fall heavily on all who have ineonies, In whatever'brackets." Charge accounts of tho government (tax bill) becomes due jusi as dc charge accounts of storest private billsi. There is no (inference what' ever in principle?but there is a giVat difference in fact, in that tin government, if you fall to pay youi . t^\x bill, can use more harsh and ruinous methods on the individual tc force payment than can the private store. There is no leniency shown by the tax collector. He collects youi taxes, or he takes your property.? Industrial News Review. YOUR LI FE~AT STA^<E During 1934, accidents of all kinds caused 101,000 deaths -the highest total on record?in addition to almost 10.00o.00o non-fatal injuries. The total cost of those accidents including wage loss, medical expenst ami property damage, amounted t( *>(111,1100,(11)0. Accidents arc responsible for mor> deaths to persons between the age> of ti\and nitietitn than any otliei cause. Among persons of all ages only three diseases result in mori dentiis than (in accidents. These are .facts that should makt the public pause, think and reinem In r The waste of nenleiits. both in lives and materials, is complete and irrevocable. it cannot be repaired And it is almost entirely unnecessary <>t" all forms of accidents. thos? caused by the automobile are ol course the most serious. Ret ween UJ13 and 1934 motor vehicle deaths increased from 4,227 to 30,000 a year while other kinds of accidents drop ped from 7S.233 to 65,000. That is largely due to the Increased nuinbei of cars In use?hut the fact remains: that at present motor accidents pei thousand gallons of gasoline conaum ed. are on the rise. The reckless driver is becoming more reckless? the incompetent driver is becoming still more of a menace to all who list the streets and highways. The auto mobile accident record is in striking contrast to that of industry, whicl has made magnificent progress in re ducing both the severity and freq uency of accidents in even the mosi hazardous factory operations. The war on accidents is every clti /en's war. and every citizen shouh "join the colors." Thousands of lives to say nothing of billions of dollars art- at stake?and your life and youi dollars are among them.?Industria News Review. Rugdil C. Smith of Memphis, Tenn recently completed a record of bavin) driven an automobile more than hal a million miles in ten years wlthou even a minor accident. !| HOW== , 1 I'A 1 XTLNCiS, FUHNITUHR CAN BB GIVBN ANTIQUE COJ.OU.-~ j Nat only books but even paintings i and furniture can be given a very j natural appearunce of great age by the clever use of ten and coffee, says tt writer Iij the Montreal Herald. The business of turning out antiques lu this way bus become quite a profitable Industry overseas, and unscrupulous dealers lu such so culled vuluuble objects sell these "fakes" ut extortionate prices to unsuspecting purcliusers. The collector who knows- his antiques, however, is not fooled. One of the most common tricks of the makers of "antique" books Is to soak the pages In tea to give them the yellowish tinge that comes with grent age. OofTee Is sometimes used for this purpose. A clever workman who knows Just how Strong to make the tea, and Just how long to keep the paper In the beverage, can closely approximate the appearance of great uge. How British Came Into Possession of Bermudas The British came Into possession of the Bermudas by colonization, observes a writer In tho Cleveland Plain Dealer. Tho islands were discovered throe times over before anyone thought them of stifficlent Importance to establish a settlement. Bach of the discoverers was shipwrecked. The first was Juan Bermudez, a Spaniard, from whom the common name of the group Is derived, lie found them In 1!522. Henry May, an Bngllshman, was the next visitor, In 1593. Admiral Sir George Somers, another Bngllshman, was wrecked at Bermuda en route to the Virginia colonies In 1009. Somers soon afterward established the first settlement, and the Bermudas are often called the Somers Islands. In 1020 they wero grunted to 120 persons, an offshoot of tho Virginia company, 00 of whom commenced cultivation, which yielded rich crops of tobacco. The present white population consists largely of descendants of these colonists and of others who came soon afterward as fugitives from the civil wars in England. H ow Bird-Banding It Carried On The United States Biological Survey says that bird-handing work Is being developed through the activities of volunteer co-operators in the United States and Canada, who ore systematlcally trapping and handing birds. The promiscuous handing of fledg J ling birds Is not approved by that j office, and In enlisting new co-operators I It Is desired to obtain the services only of those who will establish and maintain trapping stations. This is. however, one of the most attractive methods of studying birds, and each station has the opportunity to cnrry on work that In Itself may be an lmi portant contribution to knowledge of > the different species. I How Felt Is Made > Felt Is made of wool, or wool and , hair, or fur. The wool is carded into l laps of the length and breadth of the . web to be made. Layers of these are placed one abore another until the desired thlcknes Is secured, the outer layers being generally of finer texture than the interior. The whole Is now passed between rollers pnrtly fm, mersed in water. In the machinery by ^ which felt fabrics are produced, rollI ers with a rubbing and oscillating movement have generally an Important j action. The materials commonly used I for felt hats are the furs of the rabbit ;j and other animals and the wool of > sheep. H ow to Trap Mice ! Mice seek refuge in houses, barns -land other buildings and often do con ! siderahle damage to stored food and . clothing, (?. C. Odorkirk, rodent spo\ clnllst of the United States blologba! survey, suggests the following method of trapping these pests: Pieces of I fresh fried bacon, tied to the triggers 1 | of the common snap trap or a smear ' ' of a mixture of rolled oats and peanut j butter on the triggers will attract .j mice to the trap. The main Idea Is to >1 use plenty of traps. A dozen or more properly set nlong walls should rei I move mice from tho house In one or i two nights. I How Po?t Stamp Glue li Made , | Adhesive matter on postage stamps I of the United States Is mode from i roots of the cnssnvn plant grown In 1 Java. Boots are washed, ground to : a pulp, dehydrated and then ground - Into a white, starchy Hour. It Is made i by mixing 40 pnrts water to 00 parts . of cassava flour and heating to 140 . degrees. It keeps Indefinitely and the , i sugar content prevents It deterlorat j Ing. No satisfactory substitute has r i over been found. ; i ? _ I How Far Clouds Are Seen ' The weather bureau says that In I open flat country clouds of the broad 1 j stratus or layer typo cannot he seen j more than 30 to 40 miles away, and : not half so far if the air .s hazy or 1 , misty. On the other hand, when the , j air is quite clear a well developed t! thunderstorm cloud may, under favorr 1 able conditions, be seen for more than j ! 100 miles. How Sycamores Scatter Seed 3 ho seeds of the sycamore tree are ! grown In pairs, each being provided j | with a large papery wing.

GEOGRAPHIC NAMES CHANGED BY USAGE How folks In a community will change the real name of a place, a river, mountain, etc., by gradual differences In spelling and pronunciation, is brought out in "Uncle Sam's Handbook on Geographical Names," publifbed by the United States Geographic board. Sometimes the natives will entirely reverse the proper name of a place, by carelessness or as a joke, over a long period. Horse Creek in California, for instance, Is now miscalled Cow Creek. Breteche Creek, Wyoming, lias been called Britisher Creek a long time, perhaps because it sounds like thnt. The board found that the word Ozarks was corrupted from the French words Aux Arcs, pronounced exactly the same way.?Washington Post. California Red Sea ' A phenomenon which occurs once in seven years has recently been seen Id the bay of San Diego, California. A strip of sea three miles wide assumed a vivid red color and remained thus for ten days. In by-gone times the local Inhabitants used to attribute the manifestation to Satanic forces only to be appeased by human sacrifices. It Is now known that it Is due to milliards of tiny infusoria of n brilliant scarlet hue. These either live only for ten days or are devoured by the end of thnt time by larger insects or fish. But even science has not yet explained their appearance only once In seven years.?Montreal Herald. Hippo Charge. Automobile , Giving a savage snort a hippopotamus charged an automobile from a roadside wood between Victoria Falls and Livingstone, Rhodesia, recently. The beast badly damaged the oar. The woman passenger suffered a broken kneecap and her husband and dough tor wore bruised. The hippo s shoulder was badly injured, and the animal limped \fick to the woods.

When boiling eggs always add salt to the water so that If the shells crack the salt will coagulate the whites and prevent oozing. Common table salt rubbed on nonwashable window shades will renew their freshness. Mirrors should never be hung where the sun shines directly on them for any length of time. Meat should not be seasoned until after it is partly cooked. Wire and iron bed springs that become rusty should be given a coat of paint. Silk experts advise washing silk hose in a solution of water and pure soap flakes, rinsing three times and squeezing in a towel in order to make them wear longer.
