CHILDREN
CRY FOR IT
CHILDREN hate to take medicine
as a rule, but every child loves the
taste of Castoria. This pure vegetable
preparation is just as good as it tastes;
jost as bland and just as harmless as the
recipe reads.
When Baby's cry warns of colic, a
few drops of Castoria have him soothed,
asleep again in a jiffy. Nothing is more
valuable in diarrhea. When coated
tongue or bad breath tell of constipation,
invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and
regulate a child's bowels. In colds or
children's diseases, you should use it
to keep the system from clogging.

' Washington Naval uniforms will
not be worn as a prohibition disguise
if Secretary Adams of the navy has
anything to do about it. Published
reports of the use of a chief petty
officer's cap and coat by Philadel
phia police in obtaining evidence
against bootleggers in that city,
drew an order from Adams to the
mmandant of the Philadelphia,
navy yard for sin investigation.
The use of the disguise was re
realed at a trial in Philadelphia In
which a policeman acknowledged
wearing a uniform "'similar" to that
of a petty officer. Two men arrested
by the policeman were sentenced to
six months. In spite of the published
Statement that the navy yard com
mandant had already objected to the
use of the disguise. Adams ordered
an inquiry to determine the degree of
similarity of the disguise to a naval
uniform.
Reminding that such a course was
contrary to a federal law which pro
hibits the wearing of a service uni
forms by those other than service
members, the navy secretary added
the opinion it was "not a fair thing
to do."

Municipal Stadium, Cleveland
Max Schmeling was a happy, jubi

shoved his way into his dressing room
after knocking out Young Stribling
in the last round of their fifteen
round bout Friday night.
Somebody had forgotten his keys
to the dressing room. In the excite
ment of victory nobody knew where
they were, so the big German threw
his shoulder at the door, attempting
to break it open. Then somebody
climbed thru the window and opened
the door from the inside.
Schmeling declared he was
hurt once during the fight and
in the first round stuck his

Jacobs credited the powerful

"best fight of his career.
"Jus: think, he was strong enough

five hundredths of the width from
fifty-sixth hundredth of the over

Seek Way to
Untie Chicago's
Tax Tangle
Immediate Relief and Devised Sys

Special Session
Chicago, 111.. July 1. Eleven men,
representing almost as many inter
ests, today where assigned the task
of untying the financial tangle which
his Chicago. Cook county and several
other counties of the state almost
paralyzed.
Two objects were placed before the
committee, appointed at a conference
called by Governor Louis Emmerson
immediate relief, particaularly for
Chicago, and a revised taxing system
to preclude the possibility of another
such muddle.
Governor Emmerson assured the
committee he would call a special
session of the legislature when a
definite program had been devised.
Samuel Insull, utilities magnate and
a member of the committee, said such
a progra probably would not be work
ed out for two onths. The governor,
in opening the conference, said Illi
nois and particularly Chicago was
confronted with "a revenue situa
tion unparalleled in the history of
this or any other state."
"Bankruptcy and default on pub
lic debts stare us in the face," he
said, "not only in Cook county, but
some downstate counties as well.
"Everyone agrees that some
thing must be done, but no one has
offered a plan upon which the ma
jority can agree. It is my hope that
out of this conference of representa
tives of the principal class of tax
payers may come some suggestions
for both."
A minimum of 170 million dol
lars in delinquent taxes is now due
in Illinois, the governor said. The

Scavenger Tax
Act Held to be
Valid Statute
Supreme Court Ruling in Cases Like
Many Foreclosed Here. Says
"Owner" Must Pay All
Taxes to Redeem
The supreme court held Thurs
dav that Section 77-2039 of the
compiled statutes for 19?9, giving
'counties the right to foreclose liens
; f or all delinquent taxes is constitu
1 tional. It was attacked in a proceed
ing from Douglas county, brought by
John McKiernan and the Commercial
j Savings & Loan association, which
I holds a mortgage on the property, to
i enjoin the county authorities from
attempting to enforce the lien en
j tered in a tax forecloseure case.
The law was attacked on several
I grounds, that it did not provide for
i personal notice, and hence was tak-
ing property without due process of
I law; that the law failed to Het out
the sections repealed, and that it de
j prived them of their constitutional
right to redeem their property from
tax sales. The supreme court, in an
opinion by Justice Paine, says that
' the personal notice required in sale
I of land for taxes and contained in
j the constitution applies in all cases
i where a tax deed is sought, but is
i not required in sales under tax fore
closures. It elso says that the sub
istituting of an entire new act, com
iplete in itself, by amendment, when
ithe contents are germane to the ori
i ginal act, is not in violation of the
I constitutional provision that requires
ithe new act to set out the sections
amended.
The full amount of taxes due is
$1,224, and neither the owner who
was primarily responsible, nor the
mortgagee ever paid them. At a tax
foreclosure sale the Pyramid Realty
company bid in the property for $81.
Later the owner and mortgagee ten
dered in court this sum, but it was
refused because the law requires that
the tender during the two years stay
I after sale under foreclosure must be
jof the total amount of taxes due. The
court says it would be inequitable
to allow the owner to thus avoid
paying the amount of taxes accumu
lated, even tho the buyer under fore
closure gets a title freed of this bur
I den.
The court finds that the method
pursued by the officials of Douglas
county was the proper metlud un
der the law for meeting the situa
tion as it existed and the proper
'method provided by law for the col
lection of taxes due. It says the trial

rrites if and when the interstate com
mission acts on the applitaiion re
cently filed with the latter, asking
for a 15 percent boost in all sched
ules. Thte eompanier maintain that
an emergency exuts which calls for
speedy action. Under present condi
tions there exists a seri. us impair
ment of financial resources ami lack
of capacity to render efficient ami
adequate service.
It is pointed out that i! i 11-
tions set forth In their spnllcatlbn
to the federal bodp apply etpiall. to
intrastate rates as well as inter-
schedule, ami that an advam. is
both necessary to afford the salt I

It will be necessary for the state
commission to harmonipe ami con

The railroads say that speedy a
tion is desired, as it will require con
siderable time ttt get out new tehed
ules. This will be done by adding
percentage supplements to the pot
ent tariffs. They, therefore, requ.
that if and when the federal con
mission acts, the state c lllsslon
promptly follows suit by applying
the percentages, fo that all r.t'
changes may be made at the same
time.
No action will be taken by the
state commission until after the fed
eral body acts, and meanwhile the
forces of the state commission will be
marshaled with those of other state
bodies in fighting any increase what
ever. Chairman Randall believes t' i;
to be the most inopportune time that
could be chosen to ask an increase,
particularly where the interests of
agriculture are concerned.
