Washington, D. C. No additional funds for improvement of the mouth of the Columbia river were asked by the chief of army engineers Monday in his annual report to congress, car rying estimates of all financial needs for river and harbor work during the fiscal year 1925. For tho Columbia and Willamette rivers below Portland and Vancouver to the rnouth of tho Columbia 5910,000 is asked for operations during the next fiscal year, 250,000 of which would be used in new work, including dike construction and the balance of $000,000 for maintenance. The amount required for maintenance is larger than the average for the last five years because of the operation of the dredge Clatsop in threo shifts; the probable operation of a borrowed dredge and the construction of new equipment. No money is asked for the mouth of the Columbia because the unex pended balance is deemed sufficient I to continue the present work to June 30, 1925. With reference to the im provement accomplished at the mouth the report says it "has made it pos sible for the largest vessels operating on the Pacific coast to enter and leave at all normal stages of tide and in any weather except tho most severe storms." Regarding the work done below Portland and Vancouver to the mouth of tho Columbia, a project which calls for a 30-foot channel 300 feet wide the full distance, the report says: "The improvement has greatly in creased the draft of vessels that can ascend to Portland at all hours and seldom have to wait for tides. There Is a largo saving in freights on the commerce handled in ocean-going ves sels on the lower Columbia and Wil lamette rivers between Portland and Astoria and vice versa. Tho saving the last calendar year on a total of 4,103,554 tons is estimated to have been $9,807.69. On receipts of oil and gasoline alono (1,129,282 tons in 1922) there was an estimated saving of $3.32 per ton, or a total of $3,749,210." 11666 ARE KILLED BY AUTOS IN YEAR PROFESSIONAL CARDS DR.

The total number of killed as shown in census bureau figures Sunday rep resents a death rate of 12.5 for each 100,000 population, an increase of one for every 100,000 as compared with 1921. In 1917 the rate was 9.0 to 100, 000. California had the highest rate of the 37 states in the registration area, its total representing 20.0 for each 100,000 population. New York had the second highest rato with 10.7, New Jersey was third with 10.4, and Colorado fourth with 10.3. No other state's rate exceeded 10.0 to a 100,000. Mississippi had the lowest rate with 3.4 for each 100,000. The largest increase was shown in Vermont with 11.1 to each 100,000, or 4.G above 1921. Decreases occurred in Montana, Connecticut, Massachu setts and Virginia, with Washington showing the largest reduction, from 14.5 to 12.3. Los Angeles had the highest rate in the 07 cities reporting, showing 29.5 to each 100,000. Camden, N. J., was second with 27.9, and Memphis was third, with 25.0.

Washington, D. C. Tax collections of the internal revenue bureau during the year ending June 30 last, were $2,021,745,227, or 18 per cent less than those of the previous year, when they amounted to $3,197,451,000. The re ductions. Commissioner Blair said Sunday in his annual report, were due largely to tho decreases of tax rates made by law. Income and profits taxation netted the government $1,091,089,000, which wns $395,000,000 less than the total collected from these sources the pre vious year. From tho various other forms ot Internal taxes levied on amusements, automobile sales, spirits and the like, there was collected $93i), 655,693 against $1,110,532,618 for the year before. The internal revenue taxes on to bacco netted $38,236,108 more than in tho previous year, and tho tax on automotive products was greater by $39,S56,727, but these increases were insufficient to offset the reductions made by new laws in taxation on other products.

FOX AND MB. DOG JWTR. FOX named him Neighbor be cause Mr. Dog lived at the farm house nearest to Mr. Fox's home. But Mr. Fox did all the calling. He didn't mind a bit making all the visits, he used to tell Neighbor Dog from the other side of the barnyard fence "and, of course, you can't call on me, Neighbor," he would say, "because you do hot know where I live. Ha, ha, ha!" This would make Neighbor Dog very angry, of course, and he would tell Mr. Fox that If ever he caught him he would show him how sharp his teeth were. "Barking dogs never bite, I have heard It said," Mr. Fox would reply. You bark a great deal, Neighbor." "If only master would let me go unchained during the day when he Is away," Mr. Dog would sigh, "I would catch that saucy fellow and save the poultry." Mr. Dog knew well enough why he was chained. He ran away when there was no one at home, so the poultry would suffer anyway, was the way the farmer looked at it. Mr. Fox always seemed to know when Mr. Dog was chained and the '''trfrW':-I'll ife .l -r Vf V. '"Wjr - Into This Mr. Dog Crawled. farmer had gone to town and those were the times when he was very bold and said such taunting things to Mr. Dog. But one day Mr. Dog saw Mr. Man getting ready for a drive to town and he ran away and hid until he heard the wheels of his master's wagon go creaking down the road. Yes, he heard his whistle calling him, but Mr. Dog did not mind this time. He had a plan In bis head which he intended to try even if lie got a whipping from his master afterward. By and by when the wheel sounds were far away, out crept Mr. Dog from under the steps and peeked around. Then he half crawled and half walked through the barnyard and crept under the fence. There was an old barrel lying be side the fence and into this Mr. Dog crawled and waited for Mr. Fox to call. He did not have long to wait. Pretty soon Mr. Fox came trotting along and when he reached the place where he knew Mr. Dog's house was on the other side of the fence, he jumped up and leaned on his front paws. "Howdy, Neighbor Dog, howdy," he said. You ought to be outside your house this beautiful day flue day for the race human race, you know, ha, ha, h " Mr. Fox started to laugh at his own joke, but It was cut short, so short he almost choked. Mr. Dog had waited until Mr. Fox was so intent upon making him hear, thinking he was inside the dog house that he was not listening for sounds. And then he came from his hiding place and sprang on Mr. Fox's back. Over tumbled Mr. Fox with Mr. Dog clinging to him. They rolled and tumbled, but Mr. Fox managed to break away and how lie ran ! There was nothing to do but to take refuge In his own house, a thing Mr. Fox never did unless driven to it, and this was one of the times he was. In lie went and Mr. Dog nipped one hind foot as he disappeared inside his doorway. "I have come to call, Mr. Fox," said Mr. Dog. "You see I know where you live and I shall be very neighborly after this, I can assure you." And all the time he wns making the earth fly trying to make the door way large enough for Dim to enter. Mr. Fox had more than one door way or Mr. Dog would have found him at home when at last he got inside, but Mr. Fox was some distance away when Mr. Dog got the doorway large enough to get through. When his master found him lie was still digging for Mr. Fox, and because he had worked so hard Mr. Man only patted his head when at last he called him out. "He got away, old fellow," he said, "but you have scared him so he will do no more calling around our barnyard, we may be certain of that." "I think I had better change my visiting list," mused Mr. Fox as he rested under some bushes. "Neigh bor Dog may get bothersome and call too often now he has found where I live, so I'll cross his name off and make my calls on the other side of the hill."

IRUINQ K1NQ TAKING BABY INTO SUNLIGHT IN MANY sections of this country and in many regions of the Old World it is believed that a baby should be first taken into the sunlight on Sunday ; that when it is old enough to be put Into long clothes the shift should be made on Sunday, and that all impor tant changes with regard to the child should lie made on Sunday If good luck and good health are to be Its inheri tance. This Is such an obvious sur vival of the custom, prehistoric in point of age, of dedicating the child to the sun-god that it needs little comment, though those who most firm ly believe In the superstition would be horrified to be told that they were in practicing it perpetuating an ancient heathen custom worshiping at the shrine of Osiris, or of some other of the personifications of the sun as a deity. The designation of the first day of tli week as the "sun's day" far ante dates Christianity and prevails in lands never Christianized, where it lias existed from remote antiquity. By some an astronomical reason is con sidered to be the cause of the dedica tion of the first day of the week to the sun. But whatever the origin of the nomenclature "Sunday," It is the day which, from time immemorial, has been especially set apart for dedica tion to the sun god. Therefore the baby of the Twentieth century A. D., like the baby of the Twentieth cen tury B. C, Is first taken into the sun light on Sunday.

TN BOMB rare cases the line of travel (either horizontal or vertical, on the mount of the moon) runs into the line of the head, which is the lower of the two main lines crossing the palm hori zontally. We may then foretell, or hold us indicated in the past, some danger to the bead, or some other malady, arising from a journey. This is confirmed when the place of joining of the two lines is marked by a spot, an island or a break. When travel Is Indicated by the lit tle hair lines that leave the line of life (encircling the thumb) and travel with it, the Indication is similar to that shown by the line of life. If one branch of the divided line goes on its way around the mount of Venus, the ball of the thumb, while the other pro ceeds to the base of the mount of Luna, the subject will make a great change from his native land to an other. When the line of life divides toward Its end and there is a wide space between the branches, the sub ject will most likely end his days In a country other than that which gave him birth. t by Whfaler Symlicata.
