"WASHINGTON, D. C. An invita
tion to go aboard the president's
boat, tiie Mayflower, is warranted to
carry a thrill. But when It comes
in the form of a little personal note
from Mrs. Harding, as if you pos
sibly were the only one asked, al
though you know, of course, you are
not. It is doubly thrilling, and if
you are one who has lived her life
in the middle of the land, it is
trebly thrilling." And when the note
says you are to spend the afternoon
in a trip on the historic old Poto
mac, your imagination runs aneaa.
Tou picture expanses of quiet water,
fleeting landscapes, historic fort
resses and a glimpse' of peaceful
Mount "Vernon.
This all happened to a few of us
the other day. and since it was my
first trip on the Mayflower, all the
thrills of firstness. were mine.
On this occasion, Mrs. Harding had
asked a conveniently small company
of congressmen's wives to be her
guests,, and wo all gathered on
board, at 2 o'clock. A little later
to the dining room. Therer we were
served by Filipinos to ice tea, hot
tea, lemonade, sandwiches and cake.
As we were finishing tea we heard
again the beairtirul strains of the
"Star-Spangled Banner" sounding
out from the deck above. We were
repassing Mount Vernon on the re
turn trip and we knew that the be
ginning of the end of our happy aft
ernoon on the Mayflower was at
hand.
The memory of the quiet and
beauty of the return trip and of
Mrs. Harding's never failing inter
est in her guests down to the mo
ment we all told her good-bye and
waited until she left the boat at
the wharf still remain to remind me
of the end of in ideal afternoon

FLAGSTAFF, , Ariz. Members of
the staff of Lowell observatory here
are elated over recent studies of
the planet Mars which, they assert,
bear out the; theories of the late
Percival Lowell, founder of the ob
servatory, as to snowfall and vege
tation on the little red planet. Mars,
nearest neighbor of this world with
the exception of Venus, is closer to
the earth now than at any time in
18 years. Observations have been
in progress for the, past five months
each hour of every night . that
weather conditions would permit.
Hundreds of photographs and charts
have been made.
The seasons on Mars have the
same significance as on our earth
and occur in the same manner, but
are about twice the length of our
own, according to Doctors E. C.
and V. M. Slipher 6Trhe observatory
staff. A statement by them on the
results of the latest observations
here follows:
"Winter has been occurring in the
southern hemisphere of the planet
Mars and the extensive dark areas
there are now faint and have been
so for some time, betokening the
dead season of vegetation in con
formity with the view held by
Lowell regarding the seasonal
changes on the planet.
"The .large winter cap of white
about the south pole of Mars, which
for some months has appeared to
consist oi only mist or cloud cover
ing the south polar regions of the
planet down to latitude 40 degrees,
is now dissipating and disclosing a
mantle of snow beneath. The
spring season for the southern
hemisphere is now approaching, the
season there at present correspond
ing to our March 21, and these
changes are characteristic of late
winter over the south of Mars.
"In the 'northern hemisphere au
tumn is arriving and the polar cap
there has already become consplcu
ous, having increased rapidly dur
ing the last few Martian nights.
On the night of June 17 it was ob
served that when the planet's longi
tude 266 came Into Martian sunrise,
and therefore visible to us, that a
vast area there" had during the
preceding night been covered by a
bright canopy. This bright hood
faded off toward the equator but
was discernible down nearly to 50
degrees north latitude and veiled
the darker markings of the north
ern part of the planet. This event
marked the first really big autumn
storm in the northern hemisphere
of. Mars so far this year. On that
date the Martian season corresponded
to our September 18. Early indica
tions of autumn made their ap
pearance a month and a half ago
at a Martian season corresponding
to our late August. These observa
tions have been recorded on photographs.
These conditions and cnanges oc
curring in unison witn tne pianei s
seasons indicate that conditions are
more analagous to those bf the
earth than to any of the other
planets.'' "
NEW INDUSTRIES START
Development "of Palestine Under
- Jews Moves Rapidly.
JERUSALEM. The industrial de
velopment of Palestine under the
Jews is moving forward in leaps and
bounds, and this in spite of the many
trade quarrels that have sprung up
of late between employer and em
ploye.
During the past year no less than
4000 licenses were issued for new
trades .and industries in Palestine.
The extent of this development can
be judged from the fact that prior
to 1921 only 2500 licenses were reg
istered by the government. This
means that nearly two-thirds of the
enterprises in Palestine were started
within the last year.
The capital invested in each of
these new ventures ranges from
$20,000 to $50,000, but with such
notable exceptions as the Silicate
company of Jaffa, with a capital of
$500,000. and the Standard Oil com
pany, now exploiting the lied sea
basin.
A tract of 500 acres of land has
been bought by British Jewish in
terests and will be devoted to home
and factory building, while Ameri
can interests are starting a building
and loan association and a savings
bank. A casino, two bathing estab
lishments and electric lights are
among the attractions of an "Amer
ican" seaside resort which has
sprung up on the sands stretching
to the north of Jaffa.
In reality this is a Jewish town
ship and its local name is Tel Aviv,
but to a visitor it appears a go-
ahead American town with a spirit
that overcomes all obstacles. It has
more than 12,000 inhabitants and an
immense brick factory working day

PRINCE GEORGE, B. C, July 8.
Two amusing bear stories, "both
vouched for by reputable eye-wit
nesses, are going the rounds her
u ore st tires in nonnern sriLicii vu
lumbia during the past month have
had a peculiar effect upen some of
the wild animals of the woods, judg
ing from some of the stories
brought in to Prince George.
A fight between a fire-crazed
bear and a mule, in which the bear
was worsted, occurred at L. Mason's
ranch, at Bednesti, B. C. The for
est fire routed the bear- from its
lair, and in its dash from the flames
Into the open country it collided vi
olently with a jack-mule. The bear
was promptly stretched out on the
ground by a double tattoo irom tne
capable - hind hoofs and the mule
calmly . resumed its interrupted
grazing.
Thoroughly angered, the bear
picked itself up and cautiously ap
proached the mule from a different
angle. The huge paw was brought
down with a resounding thwack on
the mule's ribs. .This was unfortu
nate. The hoofs were again brought
into play, after a quick accurate
maneuver for position, and the fight
was called off as far as the bear was
concerned. Mr. Mason, who had
witnessed the unusual encounter,
dashed to the house for. a rifle to
finish the bear, should any life be
left. Before he could get back to
th scene, however, Bruin managed
to get groggily to his feet and re
turn to the less exciting environ
ment of the forest fire.
A. fire patrol ranger is sponsor
for another bear story. While mak
ing a survey in the mountain dis
trict, he came upon a young cub
suffering from severe burns on feet
and body. The youngster was
whimpering from the pain and the
forester took pity on it, lifted it
into his car and there made it fast
with some rope.
The patrolman started on his
journey only to discover that the
mother bear had appeared and was
in hot pursuit. As the track ran
uphill at this point, the bear, mak
ing long strides, gained steadily and
the need for strategy was clearly
indicated. The forestry book of in
structions does not cover a situation
such as 'this, but the ranger was
resourceful and decided that the
best plan would be to throw the cub
overboard. , His attempts to untie
the knots on the lashings which se
cured the-youngster to the machine,
however, proved futile. Pursuer
and pursued came to a yet steeper
grade, with the advantage all with
the former. Finally, with one
mighty effort, the old bear threw
herself on the back of the car, hold
ing on by her claws and paws.
This is where the forester decided
to retire in favor of the emeny. He
dove off the car and regained his
feet in time to see it continuing its
journey eastward, with a mother
and child happily reunited -as us
passengers. Later the automobile
was found, run down and every
thing intact except the side of the
seat .where the cub had been led-, ,
the old bear having torn it out to !
release her offspring.

FRICK ESTATE TAX BIG
Pennsylvania Demands Another
Million for Inheritance.
PITTSBURG. The estate of Henry
C. Frick is required to pay an ad
ditional $1,188,248.16 in inheritance
tax to the state of Pennsylvania un
der a decision handed down by Judge
Mitchell of the Orphans Court of Al
legheny county. The estate has paid
already to the state $1,976,940.71.
The feature of the decision or tne
court was that the state has the
right to collect inheritance tax on
the property owned in other states
by a resident of Pennsylvania.
There were four contentions in
the case. The estate claimed ex
emption from inheritance tax on
property in New York and Massa
chusetts, described in the decision
as consisting of "works of art, paint
ings, furniture, books and automo
biles and including the paintings
bequeathed to the city of New York
to be maintained as the Frick col
lection by that city." The portion
of property mentioned, which is in
New York, is valued at $13,210,209,
and the Massachusetts property at
$325,534.25. The inheritance tax rate
on the property presented to the city
of New York is 5 per cent. On most
of the bequests to individuals the
rate is 2 per cent.
Judge Mitchell holds in his de
cision that under the act of June 20,
1919, the state has the right to col
lect inheritance tax on property of
a deceased resident of Pennsylvania,
no matter in what state it may be
located. Several supreme court de
cisions are quoted in support.
The tax due from the bequests of
the "Frick collection" to the city of
New York, valued at $13,132,391, is
$656,615.55.
A second contention of the estate
was that the amount paid by the es
tate to the federal feoyernment in
taxes, amounting to about $6,000,
000, should be deducted from the
value of the estate before levying
the state tax. Judge Mitchell ujiholds
the claim of the state that the de
duction should not be made and the
state tax should be computed on the
full value of the estate.
A schedule accompanying the de
cision gives the value of the spe
cified bequests, including bequests
to the city of New York, city of
Pittsburg, Mrs. Henry Frick, daugh
ter, and Ghilds Frick, a son, as $55,
793,794. The inheritance tax on this
portion of the estate given to the
city of Pittsburg is 41.925.247.61. The
grand total of property of all kinds
li given as 189.675,096.45.
