The surest and best way to avoid ally spills at this point. which is sed by thousands and thousands f motorists. is to enlarge the turn t the foot of the hill by having the ad swing in a larger circle, taking all the sidewalk and part of the . guild now on the other side of the one wall. ' _.~ Despite warning signs at the top of the hill. many motorists insist on descending with such speed hat they cannot make the turn at the bottom in safety. The grade is oceptive, apparently being a slight Nth the result that a car by the . line it reaches the bottom is often , avelling too fast to make the turn “ thout upsetting. To widen the turn is a measure of tumor: sense and safety, which th the property owner and the ity should insist upon making. 38 REPORTS TIRE STOLEN . Hrs.

NORWA The Only Objection to Mellon’s Tax Plan By CHESTER ll. ROWELL. There is only one argumcnt against the Coolidge~Mellon- plan to reduce tho' surtax on the higher incomes. That is the argument against capital- ism itself. if we (”‘0 going to have capitalism, we must let it capitalize itself; oth- erwise all the people. and particu- larly the laborers. will suffer. The most available source for any sort of recapitalization. and the only proper source for capitalization in- volving enterprise and riskfis the surplus of the larger incomes. With- out capltailzation. and recapitaliza- tion. industry stagnates. To penalize those incomes, in ex- cess of their fair contribution to the necessary public ‘rcvenucs. is to de- prive industry of its most essentiall fuel. That is to say, these things are so under capitalism. The Socialist, who wishes to un- dermine our present capitalistic,clvll. ization. in the interest of substituting what he thinks would be a better one. may logically oppose the prin-l \‘o . . l ciple of the proposed change. one else should. Saving the Ambassador A Little. Anyhow . Americans in Paris celebrated the Fourth of July by a reception in the new American Embassy. the first building this nation has owned for diplomatic use in France. Ambassa- dor Herrick. by advancing the money himself during a period of low ex- change. without waiting for the slow processes of the American Congress, got the house for $200,000. though its original cost was much more. It is a good house. but no better than much poorer nations have thought it a good investment to sup- ply for the purposes of their em- bassies. and no better than we our- selves have expected our ambassa- dors to supply. at their own expense. Henceforward. our ambassador to France will at least have a house to move into When he reaches Paris. and will not have to spend twice his salary for rent. . Why Not Give Him An Expense. Amount? But the problem of choosing am- bassadors for their talents rather than for their wealth is not yet’ solved. What boot: it to give a man a house to his. in. rent. free. if it is a house that can not be operated for less than scveraltimes the salary? The. present salary. Just as salary. may be high enough. But if the recipient of it is condemned to live in a house that the salary will lloi‘ run, he needs no expense allowance; adequate to the house. ‘ We do that for the President. be- cause we understand the situation.

STEWART WASHIXGTON. Aug. io.-—‘i'he automobile trade came in for some rather severe criticism at the re- ctni national convention of crrdit [llt'n here. Auto concerns are ex- tending too.much credit. to the in- jury of other business and of great numbers of those it's extended to. according to many of the conven- tion delegates. C If a man can afford to pay for an automobile it's all right to sell him one. the critics agree. but they think installment selling is being overdone. One of the credit men outlined what he called a typical case. 1 O I ‘ The Jones family “we on the av- erage American wage earner's in- come (Bureau of Labor Statistics figures) of $1513 a year. Jones can‘t save much—certainly not enough to pay cash for an automobile. But he needn‘t. pay cash. buy on the installment looks easy. Jones is sold. o o O . Right away he discovers that what you pay for an automobile isn’t all it costs. Not by any means. Still. it's a new car. Upkeep isn‘t as heavy a charge its it will be later on. But only a little later on, for Jones can't afford a garage. He has to let his machine stand out nights and it deteriorates fast. o 0 He can plan. 11 Jones had made due allowance for his installments but not for fuel and oil and extras and repairs. All put together these items pinch him. He needs a new, suit. His wife needs a new dress. The baby needs new shoes. Well. they can't have 'em—not until the car's paid for. Auto Credit Practices Attacked 1tlnctly hard up. They have to cut One day Jones has a blowout. The best he can do in the way of a. new tire is around $10 to :20. Moreover. that first blowout was advance no- lice that three more are about due. Before Jones knows it he's shot the better part of 850 to 3100 full of holes. 0 By this time the Jones' are dis- down on food—~perhape cut some of it out entirely—cheaper butter. loos milk. no, meet some of the time. ' Their living sfandald‘s been low- cred—except that they have a car. o O I Meantime. the clothier. the dry goods merchant. the shoe dealer. the grocer. the milk man and the butch- er have been getting less and icon of the Jones’ money than they got before Jones bought that automo- bile. When it's considered that autos number hard onto one per family throughout the United States and that the Jones aren't an exceptional family. but. the average wage earn- er‘s family. it becomes evident that the Jones family's troubles must be pretty general. l The result. the critical credit men say. is that business isn't as good as it ought to be—except the auto bus- these. it isn't actually bad in other lines. Building activity and other nice things more or less offset the Jones' financial stringency. Nevertheless. according to credit men. always excepting the automo- bile crcdlt men. isn‘t as good as it would be if an over-extension of credit hadn‘t induced Jones to buy a car he couldn’t afford. The Last Frontier By DAVID 'mnrz. SEA Service Writer An exact statement of the scien- tist's position on evolution has just been issued by the council of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science. This association has 14.300 mem- bers. They include every scientist of note in the United States. The resolution is divided into four paragraphs. The first states: “The council of the association amrms that. so farms the scientific evidences of the evolution of plants and animals and man are concerned there is no ground whatever for the assertion that these evidences con- stitute a ‘mere guess.‘ No scientific generalization is more strongly sup- ported by thoroughly tested evi. dences than is that organic evolu- tion." . The second paragraph states that “the evidences in favor of the evolu- tion of man are sufficent to con- vince every scientist of note in the world and that these evidences are increasing in number and import- ance every year." The third paraghph states the association's belief that the theory of evolution is "one of the moat po- MONDAY. AUG. 10. it so. you are inclined to domiaeor. Today is independence day in tho honed nonhuman-amuse; vi tent of the great influences for good that have thus far‘entered into hu- man experience." The last paragraph deplores anti- evolution legislation as tending to retard the advance of knowledge and human welfare. . O O O The sun's corona is not as hot as astronomers formerly thought it was. The corona is a sort of silvery halo surrounding the sun which be- comes-visible only at the moment of total eclipse. Astronomers believe that the halo consists of finely di- vided particles of material hurled out of the sun by the force of the sun's radiation. The temperature of the‘ corona was at one time believed to be 10.- 000 degrees Fahrenheit. 0 Q 0 Realizing the importance of scien- tific research to national‘ welfare. the French Chamber‘ of Deputies has begun debate upon a bill which. would three the industrial and com- . mercial concerns of France to help support scientific research through a special tax.
