STAE EXPLAINS BLACK EYE
Hollywood. The mystery of the
black eye that Margaret Sullavan
new film star, wa3 taking with her
on a flying trip to New York was no
mystery at all, her friends at the
studio said. Miss Sullavan, after a
week in Arizona, returned Wednes
day with the black eye and a scratch
cn her cheek.
She said it was the result of her
ambition to learn to cast for trcut.
A cowboy on the dude ranch near
Phoenix, Ariz., wh?:e she was visit
ing, was instructing her. The bait
flew back and hit her in the ye,
while the fishhook scratched her
ceek. The black eye aroused curiosity
as the airplane paused at Lincoln,
Nib., and the actress refused to dis
cuss it.
PUSH FOE VOTE C2T TEEATT
Washington. Roorevellian pres
ure began bearing down on the sen
ate with the result that an agreement
13 expected to be reached Friday to
vcte not later than Feb. !) or 10 on
the controverted St. Lawrence water
way treaty. Both Eidcs of the long
ratification battle agreed the decision
would be close.
Treaty proponents, led by Chair
man Pittman of the foreign relations
committee, and the opposition, cap
tained by Senator Wagner tried to
:each a vote agreement Thursday, but
c-culd not reach a common ground
and the effort was put off until Fri
day. INCOME TAX BILL DELAYED
Washington To make certain that
the person whose income is between
$10,000 and $20,000 does not have
to pay more than his share of the na
tion's expense?, the treasury asked
for more time to study the new tax
bill.
The request probably will delay
completion of the bill by th ways
and means committee. The treasury
will submit a report within the next
few days. It is understood the de
partment feels that under the new
rates normal and surtax incomes
between 510.000 and $30,000 will
bear more of the burden in proportion
to higher incomes.

THE PRICE
When the nations of the world
broke over a tpell,
To murder each other with shot
and ehell
Then employed with rancour a
poisonous gas.
Exempting none, not bo much
as a lass.
They found a terrible price
had b?en paid,
In men and money when all
had been said,
But war clouds hang over the
Eastern sky
While the people are restless
and very shy.
Wealth with some was like the
breeze,
It poured in their coffers with
perfect ease,
And when you wonder how it
all came about
It was like catching eels or
liver trout.
Concessions were given to the
factory man,
For supplies for the soldier who
enlists if he can,
To make fodder for the cannon
to burn in the field.
And as the battle rages he acts
as a shield.
We have trampled under foot
many blessings from on
high.
Our taxes have increased, though
we seem to try
To blot out the past and on
the present rely.
But our stage of action don't re
tard the blow,
Nor save U3 from thinking it
is not so.
The soothing syrup we are get
ting is bitter indeed.
It has put some to sleep regard
less of creed.
But when the war clouds break
and clear away.
We hope to enter into a more
perfect day.
Then the plum tree will ripen
its juicy prune
And harvest time will come very
soon.
The fruitage will be peace and
plenty each day,
And nothing can hinder it's com
ing to stay.
