WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 Speaker
Clark's declination of an invitation to
attend a Democratic dinner tomorrow
night at Calvert Hall, the historic
home of Lord Baltimore, at which Sec
retary Bryan is to be a guest, stirred
up so much commotion that the Speak
er tonight issued a characteristic
statement
Published reports connected the
Speaker's declination with the presence
of Secretary Bryan and echoes of the
Baltimore convention. The Speaker
did not dignify this suggestion with a
reference, but explained that he has
declined all social functions except
those he felt it neccssarv tr ntton aa
the Speaker of the House.
i nave cut out all dinners and func
tions except those I feel under obliga-
a i Lena in my onricial capacity,"
said the Speaker. "I did this for two
reasons: (1) Because I have not time to
attend them. I have too much to do.
(2) Mr. Spofford, so long librarian of
Congress, once told me that most pub
lio men and Army and Navy officers
who died in Washington 'dug their
graves with their own teeth,' a saying
which 1 took to heart.
"The people of the country are not
Interested to any considerable extent
about dinners in Washington, but they
are interested much as to what Con
gress does and when it does It. and I
am trying my best to expedite business
so that we can get away from here be
fore the snow flies next Fall and give
the country a rest. That is a good
policy for both the country and the
Democratic party."

INCOME ASSESSMENT NOT TO BE
LEVIED ON GROWING TIMBER.
Amount Received in Excess of Expense
for GroTvInjr, Cutting and Marketing;
Will Be Subject to Taxation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Foresters
and lumbermen see in a decision of th
Treasury Department in regard to the
administration of the income ' tax a
strong argument for forestry. As they
interpret the opinion of the Treasury
officials they understand that no tim
ber lands shall be subject to the tax
until the timber is cut and marketed,
and that then only the profit will be
subject to an Income tax assessment.
In other words, .all costs will be de
ducted before the tax is levied, and
these will cover the cost of growing
the timber. Including the cost of plant
ing where necessary and of protecting
the growing crop from fire and other
depredation.
This decision was based on a re
quest for information made by P. S.
Rldsdale, secretary of the American
Forestry Association. He asked if
there would be a tax on the value of
the yearly growth of timber whether It
was cut or not, and also whether an
Income tax would be assessed on the
value of the timber land.
In reply the Treasury Department
said that "the gain from the cutting
and disposal of stumpage is realized
in the year during which the timber
is cut and disposed of, and that the
amount received in excess of the cost
of such timber is profit and should
be so accounted for as income for that
year."
$10,000 IN GEMS STOLEN
Burglars Cut Through Floor and
Walls to Reach Jewelry.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Jewelry, val
ued by Frederick Young, owner of a
little uptown Jewelry store, at $10,000,
was taken from the store early today
In what the police consider one of the
most novel burglaries ever carried out
here. Finger prints left on the velvet
of an empty Jewelry tray supply the
only clew.
On the second floor of the building
containing the Jewelry shop is a lunch
room. The burglars entered this after
it had been closed for the night, cut
a hole in its floor to reach a haber
dashery underneath and then broke
through the walls Into the Jewelry
store alongside. Lights In the Jewelry
store made the operation risky. The
safe was not disturbed, but a case of
trays in the rear of the place was
ransacked and the most valuable of the
contents were carried off.

of Hair or Fuzz
(Beauty Topics.)
A simple paste made with some pow
dered delatone and water and applied
to superfluous hair on the lip, cheek or
chin for about two minutes, then rubbed
off, banishes every trace, and when
the skin is washed to remove the re
maining delatone it will be left smooth,
firm and entirely free from spot or
blemish. This method of getting rid
of objectionable hair or fuzz is un
