TELEGRAPH TAX RETAINED
Stamps Still Placed on Many Luxuries, Bonds, Sales on Transfers, Etc.
The changes in the federal taxes that went into effect January 1 will be a welcome one to many people. The taxes have sometimes been referred to as a "misuse tax," and the changes are intended to relieve some of the unnecessary handling of small change and to readjust the taxes so that they will be paid by those who really should pay them.
Some of the taxes lifted are!
2. Stamp taxes on proprietary med leines, tooth paste, toilet articles, etc
Borne of the northern west coast
1. The eight per cent tax on the amount of carfare on railroad trains inland or costwise steamers.
iines, tooth paste, toilet articles, etc.
3. Taxes on soft drinks and ice cream.
4. Luxury tax on shirts, shoes, umbrellas, etc.
5. Moving picture shows charging no more than ten cents admittance will be relieved of charging the ten per cent tax. However, shows charging more than ten cents admission must still collect the tax as before.
6. All heads of families having dependents get a slight reduction in their income tax, the extent being $8 for each dependent as the result of the increase from $200 to $400 in the ex-remainance on account of dependents.
7. Whether you are single or married, if you have made a grain from the sale of capital assets, such as buildings or stocks and bonds, you may pay the tax on the gain at the corporation income tax rate of 12.1-2 per cent instead of the surtax, if you elect.
Manufacturers who have had their tax repealed are those turning out chewing gum, articles made of fur, musical instruments, sporting goods (including billiard and pool tables and ball), pressure boats and canoes costing less than $100, electric fans and thermos bottles and jugs.
Other taxes which came off are those made on insurance premiums, and on bonds of indemnity and surety. Sharp reductions are made in the taxes on cereal and carbonated beverages. These taxes are maintained, on candy and works of art.
1. Corporations which did not fall within the excess profit-making class during the war will have their tax additions increased in the corporation income tax.
The excess profit tax is repealed, but will not be reflected in the federal revenue until 1923.
Some new taxes are put on manufacturers, the value being 5 per cent of the amount by which the sale price exceeds given sums in the case of carpets and rugs, trunks and valises, filled toilet cases, pocketbooks, portable lamps and fans. Other new taxes imposed on the manufactures of finished fountain syrups and carbonic acid gas.

Correct Name for Athletic Field
Correct Name for Athletic Field

Put Wireless Telephones On Coast Guard Boats
Washington, Jan. 6—Life lofts of the Coast Guard are to be equipped with wireless telephone sets, which will keep them in constant communication with shore stations while engaged in rescue work at sea.
Wireless phones for the boats were successfully demo-strated during the recent Coast Guard meeting in Atlantic City. They were invented and perfected by the Bureau of Standards which developed the wireless telephones used by American sunarines during the war.
At the Atlantic City demonstra-
tion thirty-six foot power driven life-
boats communicated easily with the
shore while five miles out at sea. Such
communication was made possible by
the use of a loop or rolled antenna.
The other communication method is the
lifeboats because everything
above decks must be clear for line threewing and because of the heavy weather encountered.
FACULTY CONTRIBUTES BOOKS AND ARTICLES
Nearly All Subjects Included But Majority Are of a Scientific Nature
One hundred and ten magazine articles and books were written by forty-two faculty members of the University during the year from July 1, 1919 to July 1, 1920, as shown in a bibliography issued yesterday by the University. It is one of the works which Dean F. W. Blackmark of the Graduate School is chairman.
The bibliography was a part of Dean Blackman's report to Chancellor E. H. Lindley and the Board of Administration. It was recommended that the committee be given an amount of work already in the State Printer's hands it was turned down. In order that all professors might have a copy of the bibliography the Graduate Research Committee publishes and list it to all professors.
"Articles of purely cobeniment nature have not been included in the bibliography; each article is a genus and species, no hyphenation." accelure to Dan Bickman
Although panses on practically every subject are included in the list the majority of them are of a scientific nature.
Librarians Driven To Being Watch Dogs
"more than 150 books have been taken from a single reserve shelf in Spooner Library, in less than a year," Earl A. Manchester, head librarian of the University of Iowa, students must have good beginnings toward libraries of their own. One might surmise that it has gotten to the place where a librarian must be a fierce dog, as well as a gentle bureau and an index to books.
Departmental libraries are facing the same difficulty only on a smaller scale. Incidents similar to this one in the library, are not at infrequent.
The librarian left the room to file papers, while in the library there were still several masculine students of the department, all of whom were trustworthy, so were using books that were on reserve.
As the librarian returned sooner than expected, she met with one of these students leaving the seminar — and she accidentally spilled her drinks there in the arm of Mr. Man. She quietly mentioned the fact to him, and he exploded immediately. He didn't have it! No? Please return the book—and she is pleased. And she still stalling in that line was no success so he began another.
With the book in hand, the librarian started to return to the library. With as pleasant a voice as he could command, Mr. Man said:
"Well, I certainly must have picked that up by accident. I had so many that one more was not noted."
"Just a minute, I just have to read that reference tonight. Come back and check the book out from your desk? No, I won't—it is not necessary. I'll report you to the head of the department tomorrow."
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Williams Atkinson announce the engagement of their daughter, Mary Preectw to Jean Cranston Carter. Miss Atkinson is a former student of the University and a member of BPI Beta Phi and Mr. Carter, A.B.21, is a member of Phi Gamma Delta.

Toodles Attracts Student Envy As He Sleeps Through Lulling Lecture In Psychology Class
Toodler belongs to a fraternity on the Hill, but that doesn't keep bin from attending a class in psychology once in a while; neither does it necessarily put a "taboo" on a little smoke during a dry lecture—and Toodles did both right in the presence of the pompous professor and the critical students. Thus it happened:
It was almost time for the class in psychology, and Toodles was late—Monday's classes are hard to attend anyway for most students, and Toodles generally ran true to form. But by a sudden burst of speed made possible by his great leaps and falls, he was suddenly assembled before the professor called the roll (this prof. never calls the roll.)
Toddlies slipped noiselessly into the room and stretched himself out on a comfortable chair for his daily nap. A psychology nap was so ranimalizing that he wore a tie under his subject with all the fervor of a Patrick Henry. To Toddie it
bounded like a lulubly, its effect was the same, for the sleepy-headed Toodles slept while the pedagogue pleaded for the recognition of the world's greatest science. It was a beautiful sleep.
Meta Maur, c'25, and Louise Calendar, fa'25, both of Kansas City, Kan., have withdrawn from school and will
Everything went well with the sleeper for a while, but he began to snore. The professor stopped lecturing and looked for the origin of the queer noise; it as not hard to dis- tinue it, he said. He faster and louder at every breath from the sleeping Toodler. Friends punched the sleeping one in the ribs but their efforts only slowed up the interval between annoes, and then to bring forth one snore that would be heard by everyone, he said, "the professor. "He must be tired." The lecturer continued his cratery. Finally the whistle blew. Fraternity members rescued Toodlers from the arms of Morghem by pushing him off the chair. He whipped, he fell down, and scammed from the room. What did Doodles care; he had a right to sleep in class—he was the Acomas
