EItE is something that will
surprise you:
Scaldings claim the lives of
more children under five years of
age than any other form of acci

frequent cause of Tatal scaldings,
accounting for 57 per cent of these
accidents last year.
Other, and somewhat more un
usual, causes are leaking hot wa

steam-inhaling kettles, swallowing
hot water from u teapot and
scalding of hands ami arms under
faucets turned by the child while
the mother was temporarily ab
sent from the room.

of hot tea or soup from a table,
while others climbed on chairs
and upset containers supposedly

( AP) Harold L. Ickes, secretary
of the interior, called "over-concentration

Ickes attributed "economic inde

he paid, and "so long as this
struggle goes on we shall never
have a clear-cut direction in our

Nod Mulville has dismissed in the
1 os A n gel es con rt nn action
brought against Municipal Judge

received here.
The suit was brought by Mrs.
Fannie Lee Stewart, divorced wife
of Km est A. Stewart, former cam

tained against her ex-husband ns a
property settlement.
Mr. Stewart is the owner of ranch
property In the Cavitt creek district
east of Roseburg nnd is now located
at his summer place there.
The property in Douglas county
figured in the Los Angeles action,
as Mrs. Stewart alleged that her
ex-husband nnd arranged nn entire
floor In the ranch house for Judge
Adams, nnd that the latter visited
there frequently.
Claiming that the suit filed by
Mrs. Stewart was "scandalous" nnd
that It tended to reflect upon her

Adams filed complete denial and
declared that she would not "sub
mit to blackmail and refused to

the statements of the case to be
entirely irrelevant, and dismissed

Congressional tax exports are

These experts staff members of
the joint committee on internal
revenue will make recommenda
tions for tax legislation at the next
session of congress.
Informed persons said nn emer
gency 10 per cent increase in In
come taxes was one method under
consideration. The increase would
apply to both Individual and corpor
ate incomes. On the basis of this
year's revenue estimates, It would
yield on additional $200,000,000.
The authorities said the addi
tional levy would be Imposed for
only a year or two, and would ex
pire automatically at the end of
the designated period.
Great Britain, facing sharply
