Postorflce department officials still are uncertain of tho effect of the new postal rates on aggregate receipts, but are about convinced the Increase will not meet the (1S. 000.000 postal pny ad vance they were designed to offset.

Washington, D. C Federal income tax collections for the fiscal year end ing June 30 may reach $1,775,000,000, it was predicted Monday at the treas ury on the basis of receipts thus far reported in the June installment, time for payments of which expired Mon day night. This forecast of the year's total meant that the receipts were expect ed to exceed the estimate made prior to the beginning of the fiscal year by more than $100,000,000 and might go as high as $115,000,000 above that amount. Official reports to the treasury June 1 were said by Acting Secretary Win ston to have shown that only about $200,000,000 in the June payment would carry the year's receipts above the estimate and he expected the installment to range from $320,000,000 to $330,000,000. This would provide a surplus of receipts over expenditures which would materially exceed the estimated amount upon which the gov ernment could rely to reduce outstand ing indebtedness. While it appeared certain that the year's receipt! would run higher than had been pre viously calculated, It was officially disclosed that the refunds of lax overpayment! had amounted to $132,000,000 June 1, which was meas urably higher than had been anticipat ed. This condition was offset to some extent by the increases in the col lection of back taxes, but It was point ed out that the tax audits were con tinuing and decisions by the board of lax appeals were likely to incrense the total on refunds before the end of the month. It was evident that treasury offi cials wire giving close attention to the results of the March and June tax Inatallmenti to aa certain the effect of lowered rail's on returns from the higher surtax brackets. The treasury has consistently held that if the high er surtax were cut capital would flow quickly into productive enterprise and the result would be an increase In tax able Instead of tax-exempt items.

CRISIS SEEMS NEAR Washington Opinionllolds Statement Arrogantfand Threatening in Its Tone. Washington, D. C. Affairs between tho United States and Mexico took a swift turn in the direction of a crisis Sunday, it was confidently believed here, when President Calles of Mex ico issued a curt statement replying to that made two days ago by Secre tary cf State Kellogg. President Calles' rejoinder, given to the newspapers late Sunday after noon by the Mexican embassy, is ar rogant and defiant in tone. It is al most threatening. President Calles ac cuses Secretary Kellogg of being con tradictory as to facts and asserts it Is his duty to his government to "recti fy said statements as required by truth and justice." Throughout the entire statement, the United States is treated in tone as just one of a number of foreign countries with whom Mexico has to deal and not at all as a powerful next door neighbor whose patience has been, to use Mr. Kellogg's words, ex hausted by repeated refusals of the southern republic to protect Ameri can lives and property. It is true that President Calles insists the Mex ican government is determined to com ply with obligations, "imposed by in ternational law" but qualifies this pledge by asserting that ho nation may pretend to create a privileged situation for its nationals in Mexico nor will this government accept any foreign interference "contrary to the rights of the sovereignty of Mexico." President Calles resents Secretary Kellogg's assertion that Mexico is now on trial before the eyes of the world and insists that If Mexico is placed in tho role of a defenadnt by such a statement his government "absolute ly rejects with energy inch imputation which In essence would only mean an Insult." President Calles employed the same DtedlUm to reply to the secretary of state as Mr. Kellogg to acquaint the country with the policy being pursued by this government, namely, the press. It. Is now clear that the return of Ambassador Sheffield from Mexico City at this time had a deeper sig nificance than was generally believ ed. Since the Issuance of the Kellogg statement. It has become known that his course of warning Mexico follow ed Hie secret exchange of notes be tween the two governments in which Secretary Kellogg is said to have men tioned specific cases Involving Amer ican citizens and properly and to have demanded sharply that indemnities be paid forthwith. Ambassador Sheffield, despite the Interviews, optimistic in lone, which he gavo out upon his ar rival In New York, It is now believ ed, realized that an accute stage in relations between the two countries was approaching and was summoned bOM In order that the president, the K .'rotary of state and other member! of the cabinet might be made rully ac QUalntd with the Mexican situation through first-hand Information.

' MeCIur. Nmf,Mt SyoJlcat.) IS IT DELANO? "pHE name of this family might be Included In a list of names that are peculiarly American, because while It Is of French origin, you will never find its like In France. You may trace It back to Philip de Ln Noye, who was probably the son of Jean de Launey, or de Lanoue. Philip came to Plymouth on the For tune ln lGlil from Leyden. Governor Wlnslow ln his history of the colo nists tells us that he was born of French parents and that when he had expressed his desire to come Into communion with the English colonists he proved himself to have come "from such parents as were in full com munion with the French churches." By this Wlnslow of course meant that he was a son of thoroughly Protestant parents. His father, Jean, wus born about 1003 ln Leyden. Philip was married In Huxbury, whither he went after leaving 1'ly mouth, to Esther Pewsbury, and later to Mary Pontus, widow of James Glass. Later he went to Brldgewater and then was one of the purchasers of Dartmouth and later of Middle borough. The nnrue Delano was not spelled In that way until the time of Philip's grandchildren. It Is Interesting Hint one of his great-grandchildren, Susannah by name, married Noah Grunt, and was therefore an ancestress of Gen. U. S. Grant. The nume has been traced to lta French source, nnd It Is believed to be identical to that borne by a promi nent family of Brittany, to which be longed Francois de la Nolle, known us the Iron-armed. He was a brave war rior, and bore his soubriquet because after having lost an arm in battle it was replaced by one of Iron to an swer the purpose of holding his reins while on horseback.
