Rate reductions are made retroactive, For estates closed under the 1924 rates new calculations can be made under the 1991 law and refunds. or taken, Persona Interested financially in the estate tax should consult their lawyers or other competent adviser. The general interest is in the retention of the estate tax. The congress evidently, feared to abandon the expertment of taxing inheritances, leaving that easy method of collecting revenue to the states.
Unquestionably it bowed to political It chose to make progress slowly, Millions of Americans who have votes do not understand the inheritance tax and look on its reduction or its repeal as a movement in favor of the rich. The proposition that application of the taxing power should not go beyond the reasonable needs of government and that use. of the taxing or destroying power as penalty to be imposed on wealth 18 wrong, is accepted by many persons but not by the millions of persons of small means and especially by farmers who toil early and late for a comparatively small cash return. With two exceptions the states tax estates. They can apply the revenue in a way apparent to the people which the central government cannot do.
Farmers who can be made aware of the utilization of state tax money In concrete results, may become persuaded the federal government should let estates alone and. leave that field 1 to the people of the states who can say through their legislatures whether or not their estates at their deaths shall enrich 1 the comtreasury. Then repeal of the moninheritance tax may come. -What we must get rid of is the penalty idea In taxing. A long stride was taken In direction when the federal estate tax rates were halved and the exemption doubled.
An estate must be in excess of $100,000 now before the federal tax collector can touch it. FIFTY YEARS OF MEDICINE. To have practiced medicine in city 50 years! is to have become 50 touch a part of the city's life through ministering to Its people that little that is important can be hidden from such a practitoner; and it is to have become so well known that the practitioner's life and works are an, open book to thousands. Dr. C.
H. Myers, who on Thursday celebrated the 50th anniversary of his medical practice in South Bend, knows his city and its people and is known by them with respect and affection. If a doctor stands to-day in either of the city's two modern hospitals and looks back through the five decades to the beginning of Dr. Myers medical practice, subtracting in his mind the medical and surgical discoveries and benefits that have come to the world in that time, he will readily see that Dr. Myers has lived through the most eventful years of the medical art.
Exactly half way stands the monument of the American discovery of fever transmission by the mosquito and the unbeltevable accomplishments in sanitation and disease 1 reduction in the tropics which, made an inhabitable belt around the globe and enabled doctors in thousands of communities to eradicate malarias and other diseases in their localities. We think of the days from more than 30 years ago when men, women and children perished of an incurable condition, called an Inflammation, now quickly diagnosed and met by the removal of the vermiform appendix. The works of Pasteur, the evolution of the bacteriological origin of. disease, the discovery and use of anti-toxins, the accomplishment of sterilization- these simple aids of today's medical graduate were not the property of the young doctor coming to South Bend to practice In 1876. The medical and surgical science has advanced more than any other, faster than any other except the electrical science In the last half century.
The last half century has been the period of man's emancipation from a whole list of formerly mortal complaints. Even tuberculosis, fatal in Dr. Myers' early days, is now curable; pneumonia is less often fatal; and science is battling toward cures for, that and for cancer. The Tribune feels the city should be proud of Dr. Myers and his record.
It congratulates him and hopes he will continue to enjoy medical, practice for years to come. NO ABUSE BY POLICEMEN. A traffio policeman of an eastern city has been suspended for 30 days for using abusive language toward the driver of an, automobile. The offense was considered more than usually grave becauso the driver was from another state and therefore could not be expected to be familiar with the regulations, Instead of treating him harshly the policeman should have given him extra consideration. No matter what the provocation the policeman should not have lost his temper.
The policeman is not a magistrate. He is not empowered to lecture or scold. Should the infraction and the conduct of the driver justify such action the policeman can arrest him. Abusive language is not warrunted. The suspension, which will cost the policeman his.
wages for 40 days, 1s one effective method of dealing with this kind of nuisance. boards should take cognizance of 16, now that spring is about to open and the streams of automobiles will increase with the pleasant days. South Bend should make a reputation this year for courtesy. to and notable politeness to drivers whose cars have foreign license: plates. Politeness can be made a national advertisem*nt which will make citizens of- other states remember and praise Indiana and South Bend.
The traffic policeman who cannot comply with the city's desire for courtesy should be disciplined and removed to some other branch of the service. NOT SO EASY. The argument in Indianapolis over whether married women -should pete in the labor market with single girls has brought out the contention by a bachelor girl that if more wives stayed at home, keeping house, cooking meals and caring for their chilfaren and husbands fewer children and fewer husbands would go astray, the divorces would be fewer, the reformatories would not be crowded and there would be less need for probation and delinquency departments of the Indiana courts. In other words, we need a renewal of feminine faith in the homely career of wife and mother. How to bring this about is a problem.
Outside attractions, easy pleasures and discredit of household work as an occupation for women are facts. Not how to get more cooking, baking, cleaning and dressmaking to do but how to escape from them seems to be the object of many wives just beginning matrimony. The question is more baffling than the single working girl thinks. In a whimsical mood which the newspaper critics are comparing with that of Barrie, Marc Connelly has written a play called 'The Wisdom Tooth," in which he has his leading character, a clerk, go back to childhood and there gives an counting to the boy he used to be. At Its premier in New York it was acclaimed a success.
How many men would be willing do this? How many would like to answer to the boy they were at 10, 12 or 15? Not many. Too many have compromised with life for many years and have long ago ceased to believe in the possibility of, the spirit of knighthood and chivalry for average Americans. But we are glad Mr. Connelly has written that idea into a play and we are proud of for doing it; for Mr. Connelly is a graduate of the newspaper reporter's desk.
This Earl Carroll who knows how to get his name and picture. in the newspapers and attract attention to the play he is going to produce for Countess Cathcart used to be an usher and a program boy. He knows the theater from the box office to the rear alley. When he was banging down folding seats after a performance he never thought he'd be posing with a countess. Such is America.
After all, no matter what great uplift movements are in progress and how much the world, the nation, the state and the city need saving, it is comforting to know that one can al: ways slip off to a movie. When the homes are thoroughly renovated morally by the better homes movement now in progress it will be time to send for the paperhanger. We see by the papers the state department has recognized the shah of Persia. That is a great relief. With major business out of the way the congress will settle down to a pleasant discussion of prohibition.
The man who names the colors for the new. season's dress materials should have an increase in salary. Now is the time for South Bend to note the danger of a smoke nutsance. How little girls can wear has become an academic subject. WONDER WHAT A GRAND PIANO THINKS OF THE HUMILIATION OF IT ALL!

onka from little acorns grow," runs the old proverb. This might well be paraphrased, "Great corporations from little bakeries grow," as applied to the story of the W. B. Ward ing interests. The father of W.
B. Ward was a baker and young Ward grew up in the bakery business. About 1910 or 1911 the father, Arthur B. Ward founded the Ward Baking company, and a year or so later W. B.
and his brother went into business on their own in Rochester, N. under the firm name of Ward Bros. In 1913 they organized the company of Ward Ward and built a bakery at Buffalo, N. Y. From this modest ginning the Ward influence in the baking industry has grown to such proportions that W.
Ward 19 variously known a the "bread king" "emperor of the bakeries." He is acknowledged 8.8 the outstanding figure in the bakery business in the United States. Young Ward had always had ambitions of succeeding his father as president of the Ward Baking company, but these ambitions were not immediately realized upon the death of his father. However, about the year 1923 he acquired control of that company and was elected to the office, Since that time his acquisition of baking plants throughout the country has been extended at an enormous rate. He is regarded as the controlling influence of what 18 known as the "Big Three" of the baking world. These the Ward Baking company, General Baking company and the Continental Baking corporation.
The "Big Three" are said to own and operate more than any other three concerns the world. bakeries, They have plants in every large city in the United States as well as a number 'of the smaller ones. They also operate in Canada. Their daily output is more than 31,000,000 poundloaves of bread. Statisticians have estimated that in the United States the dally.
consumption of bread is about one-third of a pound of bread to each person. From this may be realized what a large percentage of the population of the country the big three are supplying with the "staff of life." Bread-making in the home has no large place in modern life. The women of to-day do have the time to devote to such tasks. The increased scope of women's activities leaves them little time for unnecessary domestic tasks- and by a large majorcity folks such a task would be deemed unnecessary when excellent bread may be purchased at the corner grocery. The last stand of homemade bread is in the rural districts and in those places south of the Mason and Dixon line where the people still regard hot bread as a necessity.
In rural bread is still made by housewives largely for the reason that bread is not easily available. In the south "cold bread" is likely to be scorned. Down there they do not hold with the northern idea that hot bread indigestible. In fact, one woman of southern birth stoutly maintained to the time of her death that "cold bread gives, mi Indigestion." The increased use of bread in the however, has given a tremendous impetus to the industry; Bakeries flourished. Until recently these were mostly local concerns catering to the local market.
The sale of their products was necessarily confined to restricted areas, since bread and pies and such things quickly deteriorate and are highly perishable. They must be disposed of immediately or they lose their value. They cannot be shipped to outside markets in the same fashion that other food products may be. In the last though, the Ward interests have been increasing to such an extent that there has been much comment on the Bread situation both in the public press and in congress. The attention of the department of justice and the federal trade commission was called to the activities of the big three.
They started In to see what might be done to prevent further mergers of bakeries. The first legal proceeding against any of the Ward interests. was the issuance of a complaint by the tederal trade commission against the Continental Baking corporation charging it with violating section 7. of the Clayton act. This section specifles that "No corporation shall A JAZZ PLAYER?

American Museum of James 14 Clark, assistant director In charge of preparation at the American Museum of Natural His. tory, who has under his supervision and direction the mounting and installing of all specimens of natural history, is sailing for London, from where he will go to Marseilles to join William J. Morden, of Chicago. through whose. generosity there has been made possible the Morden-Clark Asiatic expedition.
Messrs. Morden and Clark will arrive in Bombay about March 19 and will proceed to Srinagar, Kashmir, where they will secure their guides and the rest of their outfit. From Srinagar they will go some: 200 miles to Gilgit, then to Hunza the uppermost part of India, arriving about April 15. Here they will wait at the foot of Himalayas until the higher and gerous passes open up enough to permit them to go through into the back country. On this trip it will be necessary for them to cross passes ranging from 13,000 to 16,000 feet, and extreme caution will be necessary to guard against avalanches at the time of the spring thaw.
At such time the sun releases the great blankets warm of snow that have piled up during the winter. Many. places are too dangerous to attempt to negotiate during the day, as the tread of a foot may bring mountainside down and bury the whole caravan under 100 feet of snow. Such places are traveled ht night after the sun goes down, when the frost have tightened everything and hold it until the warm rays of the next day start the melting again. The melting snow by day swells the torrential rivers in the bottom of these deep valleys so that much real trouble and danger will be experienced in crossing them.
It is hoped. and planned, however, to get over this great mountain range before the thaw advances very much, otherwise the party will be held up until the rivers recede enough to let them go by. Once through the Himalayas, the greatest danger is over, and collecting will be carriedwin just beyond. Very few be carried in at this time because of difficulty of getting bearers (who are the natives of this upland country) to traverse this region at this time, therefore the will have to live by means of party what they shoot and the few supplies flour, sugar and rice they can obtain there. The purpose of the trip is a reconnaissance of the south-central Asia section and to lay out for the future other expeditions to be carried on in localities of this great and interesting country, where the short season will not permit the expedition to touch at this time.
Through the generosity of A. S. Varney and Col. J. C.
Faunthorpe the museum has received a magnificent collection of the big game of the plains of India, which is now about complete in its mounting. Far to the east, in China, the third Asiatic expedition of the museum has collected the great game of that country, but in between lies a great gap which has been untouched. These WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE? Hines in Psychologists and educators have been engaged in a much prolonged argument over the definition of intelligence. While no actual blows have been struck, there has been much mental violence, which, though at times distressing, has done much to clarify the atmosphere and bring this mystifying problem down to simple terms. Strange as it may seem, the definition of intelligence could not be formulated until intelligence was measured.
Binet, in drawing up his scale, described intelligence as having three characteristics of the thought processes -namely, that it, first, tends to make adaptations for the purpose direction: it has a capacity to make adapttions for the purpose of attaining desired end; and, third, it has power of autocriticism. These characteristics are believed to represent very clearly the chief ditterence between the Intelligence or lack of it, in animals. Terman, after revising and using the Binet scale, defined intelligence CLEANINGS Book From of the Life CLARK KINNAIRD BY NOTHING BUT It is tradition that Gebrge ington spoke only the truth. Every schoolboy knows about little George and the cherry tree. Yet one can be sure that Washington was not always truthful.

In the first place, no man can be certain that what he holds to be true is absolute truth, and in the second place, even if he could be sure, there care times when he must avoid telling the truth. A lie does not have to be spoken to be a lie. Mark Twain says in his autobiography, published 14 years after his death: "I speak from the grave rather than with my living tongue, for a good reason: I can speak thence freely, "When A man is writing a book dealing with the privacies of his life -a book which 18 to be read while he still alive he shrinks from speaking his whole frank mind; all attempts to do it fall, he recognizes that he is trying to do a thing which is wholly impossible to a human being.

The decennial census was taken six years ago yet no measure for a congressional reapportionment under that enumeration has been enacted. The last congress was. unable to agree on the terms of a' bill and it was permitted to go over to the present congress. The difficulty in the way of an enactment lies in that not all states made an equal gain 1 in population. some stand to lose representation unless house membership be increased beyond present numbers.
Already the membership at 435 'is unwieldy. A material reduction would be desirable. However, it cannot be expected that those now bers would be willing to diminish their own chances of reelection by making the chances much fewer. Because some states will lose one or two representatives were the present number of members retained, is the obstacle now in the way. Now, members from some states which would gain and members from other states which would not lose under apportionment are taking steps to secure the enactment of a measure which will put the house representation on the basis of the last census.
Should this proposal be passed it might cause considerable confusion in the states subjected to since present apportionment of loss districts within the would not avail. A gain in membership may be taken care of by electing at large, but a loss could not be thus handled. be presented it will If problem perplexity in the states adcause versely affected.

Many a virtuous citizen sticks to the narrow way because of straightened circ*mstances. -Norfolk, Va. Ledger- Dispatch. In a sort of footnote following his preface and preceding his text, Twain remarks: "What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! "His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself. "All day long, and every day, the mill of his brain is grinding, his thoughts, not those other things, are his history.
"His acts and words are the visible, thin crust of his world, with its scattered snow summits and its vacant wastes of water--and they are so trifing a part of his bulk! (L mere skin enveloping it. "The mass of him is hidden--it its volcanic fires that toss and boll, and never rest, night nor day. "These are his life, and they are not written, and cannot be written. "Every day would make whole book of 80,000 words-365 books AL yenfiographles are but the clothes and buttons of the man--the blography of the man himself cannot be written." 1. by stating that "an individual is intelligent in proportion as he is able to carry on abstract thinking," while other psychologists have called it "a general capacity which consciously adjusts the individual's thinking to new requirements," "the ability of the individual to adapt himself 1G Felatively new situations in life," "Intellect plus knowledge," "the capacIty to acquire capacity," and so on, a separate definition being provided by each person who has given the problem serious thought.
If we try to combine the various definitions that have been offered we eventually arrive at the point where we conclude that intelligence is the capacity of the individual to adapt himself to a new situation, in which capacity is thought of as being made up of the two factors of native ability and training. If such a definition should be acceptable, it would have to be admitted at once that there are many kinds or types of intelligence and that we can speak of degrees of intelligence only when the Intelligence of all those concerned is measured by the same test. So when you read a man's life story, or a state of his views, member that the truth cannot be written. acquire, directly or Indirectly, the whole or any part of the stock or other share capital of two or more corporations engaged in commerce where the effect of such acquisitions, or the use of such stock by the votIng or granting of proxies or otherwise, maybe to substantially lessen competition between such corporatrona, or any of them, whose stock or other share capital is so acquired, or to restrain such commerce in any section or community, or tend to create a monopoly of any line of commerce." This provision wa's intended to apply to what are commonly known as holding companies--that is companies which hold the stocks or securIties of other companies as distinguished from companies that actually operate plants or industries. The Ward Baking company, the General Baking company and the Continental Baking corporation are known IL8 holding companies, and on Dee.
19, 1925, the federal trade commission issued its complaint charging the Continental Baking corporation had acquired stock of 25 different corporations throughout the United States which operate in more than 76 cities, It charged that the acquisition of this stock substantially lessened competition between some of the companies involved and restrained merce In certain sections, thus tending to create a monopoly of the bread business in the corporation named. Hearings on the case began In New York city on Feb. 8, but after a few days a recess was called in order that certain documents and facts called for by the commission's attorneys might be furnished by the baking corporation. The department of justice has in. stituted proceedings against William B.
Ward and other individuals understood to be connected with him. The department's bill was fled in Baltimore, on the same day that hearings were begun by the federal trade commission in New York city. No complaint has been made against these companies as to the grade of their products, or to the effect that they have raised the price of bread and similar foodstuffs. The general public up to the present time, has suffered in no way from the combine. The federal trade commission and the department of justice are simply endeavoring to prevent a monopoly of the bread interests which would be in restraint of trade.
