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to be withdrawn.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.?

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

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 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

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.
