Xo matter whether vou want a
now or next vear or any other time, it will
pay you to come and see the Copper-Clad
Crank make the Asbestos Sweat.
He takes any piece of Asbestos, puts it
between two iron plates heats it and
shows you the sweat. You can roll it up
in drops with your finger.
Every good range must be lined with
asbestos to hold the heat around the oven
and keep down fuel cost. Every time the
range cools off, the asbestos takes moisture
out of the fresh air circulating through thev
range like a blotter takes up water. When
you fire up, this moisture is driven by the
heat to the outside against the cold range
body and starts Sweat-Rust on the inside
where you can't get at it, even though you
know it rusts. Sweat-Rust ruins thousands
and thousands of otherwise good ranges
every year. When the range body is gone,
the range is done for.

The argument on the one hand is
that under present conditions, assess
ment against property to pay the
cost of new paving, often amounts to
confiscation.
"If this is enacted into law," said
Representative Densemore of Gage,
"it will be practically impossible for
a city, town or village to pave. Va
cant lots assessed at $100 could pay
but $25 which is far below the ac
tual cost of paving. Two months af
ter the improvement is in, the owner
of the vacant lot may erect a $5,000
or $10,000 building."
Representative Wilson of Lancas

riously hamper and delay improve

said, that prospective builders will
wait until after the paving is in be

Cppper never rusts. It may tarnish but
it will last centuries. There are Copper
Domes that have been defying the elements
for hundreds of years. So, when we say a
"Copper-Clad can't rust out," we mean that
the copper lining overcomes all internal,
rust. An oiled rag will keep the outside
free from rust and there are no fussy orna
ments lull of rivets and bolts to skin vour

WOMEN REQUIRED
TO FILE AN INCOME
g TAXAGCOUNTING
Collector A. B. Allen Gives Out State
: ment as to Just What Classes
Mast Make Return. -
'. Thousands of women are required
to file an income tax return and pay
a. tax on their net income for the
year. 1922. No official estimate can
b given of the number of such wom
en, .but statistics of income for the
year 1920, recently issued, show that
approximately 503,000 women filed
returns for that year, claiming the
$1,000 exemption allowed a single
person. The amount of net income
reported by these women was $1,
2.64,955,727. In addition there were
filed 132,181 returns by women
claiming an exemption of $2,000 as
the .head of a family, "a person who
supports and maintains in one house
hold .one or more individuals close
ly related to him (or her) by blood,
marriage or adoption." Net income
reported by these women for the
year 1920 amounted to $388,364,530.
Under the revenue act now in force
this personal exemption allowed the
head of a family is $2,500 if the net
income for 1922 was $5,000 or less,
and $2,000 if the net income ex
ceeded $5,000.

IRREGULARITIES
CHARGED IN AWARD
QF CAPITOL BIDS
Secretary George Johnson Alleges
Material Bought for Structure
at Prices Too High.
It's false economy to think of do

Journal at your door.
Lincoln, Feb. 23. George John
son, secretary, state capitol commis
sion, submitted a report today in
which he alleges irregularities in
letting contracts for material being
used to construct, the new capitol
building, and charges the architect,
Bertram G. Goodhue, New York, has
allowed mistakes to creep into plans
and specifications.
These charges came to light when
Johnson refused claims "of the Stru-
ble Cut Stone company on grounds
the firm is not meeting requirements
of its contract in furnishing stone.

$115,000 more for stone than we
should pay," Johnson says in his
report.
Stone for which payment is being
withheld by Johnson has been used
for the entire outside wall, already
in place, and is Intended for exten
sive constructive work in the build
ing. Can Be Bonsht Cheaper, Chars:
Regarding the stone, Johnson says,
in his report:
"I secured services of Prof.
Mickey of the University of Ne
braska and other authorities, in
examining stone supplied by the
Struble company and that from
other quarries and was assured
by experts that, contrary to the
assertion of the architect, stone
from other quarries is not only
fully as suitable, but may be
procured at a less price."
Johnson, in his report, also calls
attention .to the fact Architect Good
hue has let a contract for columns
to Sunderland Bros, of Omaha, at
$25,000.
"This contract was awarded with
out competitive bids," Johnson alleges.

Detroit, Feb. 23. A proposal that
Michigan democrats go on record as
endorsing Henry Ford for president
in 1924, failed of approval by the re
solutions committee of the party's
state convention here today. Decid
ing, as it did last year, that the time
was "inopportune" for such action,
the committee made no reference to
the Detroit manufacturer in its re
port to the convention.
Passage of the resolution, it was
conceded, in effect was a compromise
between one convention faction that
desired to endorse Ford and another
Weyrich & Hadraba. j which expressed the belief that the
present time was inopoprtune for
such endorsement. The - resolution,
as originally drawn, contained a
presidential endorsement, but C. H.
Kimmerle of Cassopolis, who intro
duced it, purposely omitted that part
containing endorsement when he
read it to the delegates.
Kimmerle acceded to the wishes of
democratic leaders in making the
omission.
University of Nebraska Museum Has
Mummy Purchased by Bev.
Eominger for $3,500.
Lincoln, Feb. 22. A well preserv
ed Egyptian mummy, evidently one
of the Pharoah kings of the eighteen
th or nineteenth century, or one of
the royal family, lies in the museum
of the University of Nebraska.
Not a great deal of attention has
been paid to the mummy by those
outside of the museum and no effort
has been made to translate the
Egyptian hieroglyphics covering the
sarcophagus in which the body is in
closed. But there is little doubt but that
the mummy is that of one of the roy
alty of the times of the Pharaoh
kings. The mummy was purchased
by Rev. H. V. Rominger, former Ne-
braskan, when he was on
Egypt in 1S85. -
He paid $3,500 for it and used it
