It is concrete evidence, the kind that can be un derstood in every Ameri can home, that after a disastrous world war, the United States have passed the critical period of readjustment. The approach to nor- mal conditions has not been open*; ed, without a considerable effort, however, and it will be well for a citizenry, encouraged by Secretary Mellon's statement, to keep this in mind. The surplus of receipts over expenditures which has re sulted at the close of each year since the war ended, was made possible, only by a program of economy in the conduct of public business. This program received definition in and an impulse from a new budgetary system which be came operative in 1921. Adminis trative requirements were reduced to a minimum and constant pres sure was exerted ttf anticipate ten dencies on the part of Congress to return to the former system of ill considered, extravagant appropria tions. A revolutionary change in the attitude of administrative de partments toward the expenditure of the public moneys was affected and Congress, on the whole, was .diligent in cooperation. Mr. Mel lon’s recommendations are based upon the assumption that this at- ; titude on the part of the executive and legislative branches will con tinue. The issue between this new method of conducting public af fairs and the old system is now laid before the people' for their The Spanish Fandango 1 "Way Down South." in the land of cotton, they always have time for a fashion pageant.

Through their represent atives in Congress they must now decide whether they prefer general re duction in Federal tax ation or whether they prefer that the lid so tightly clamped down on Government expen ditures during the last three years shall be lifted. Either the pro gram of economy and efficiency in Govern ment affairs must be continued or th« pro posal to vettate taxes to any appreciable extent must be given : up. •As an economic problem the present proposal to reduce taxes can be readily understood. It is estimated that taxes collected dur ing the year 1925 upon the business of the year 1924 will yield revenues in excess of expenditures to the extent of $332,000,000. This is the margin within which tax reduc tions may be made and this margin will be reduced dollar for dollar in the proportion that expenditures not now contemplated by the Gov ernment are authorized by Con gress. Compared with the total of .ex penditures this margin is not large. Gtiaged, however, by the benefits, direct and indirect, which a reduc tion in taxes to that amount would bring to more than 14,000,000 tax payers, it is an enormous sum. Re lief from payments to the Govern ment is' but a part of the benefit thus to be conferred. Os vastly greater importance in the long run would be the fulfillment of Sec retary Mellon’s prediction that I easement in taxes will bring an in crease of funds available for in vestment in productive industries. Such an outcome wouid mean not only more income for persons em ployed but a reduction in the costs of the necessities of life upon which those incomes are expended. * DOINGS OF THE DUFFS A Tactful Girl BY ALLMAN f '11..' lU II ‘"/Mr I CAN'T SEEM TO \ =r=l (•> • BELIEVE I’LL ASK | —TZ —r MAKE UP MV MINO 1 l % ( WHAT I WANT TO GET \ / MAKE A SUITABLE M TOM THIS YEAR-ITS ) ) SUGGESTION FOR A j i ;/S ALWAYS BEEN TIES, ' _L_ ( MARRIED man- / !"T / T SHIRTS AND THINGS/ ( °?

A CENTENARY OF A FAMOUS PRACHER One Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Dr. Robert Collyer. New York, Dec. B.—Today is the one I hundredth anniversary of the birth of the | Rev. Ur. Robert Collyer, the famous Unitarian clergyman and pulpit orator. Arrangements have been made *for a suitable observance of the centenary in many Unitarian churches throughout the country. The anniversary will be ob served particularly by the Church of the Messiah in this city, of which Dr. Coll yer was pastor for more than twenty years and of which lie was pastor eme ritus at the time of his death. Robert Collyer, the man who rose "from the anvil to the pulpit,” was a na tive of Yorkshire, England. His ma ternal !ind paternal ancestors were com mon sailors, one of whom went down with his ship, while another died with Nelson and Trafalgar. His father, Samuel Collyer, was rescued from a London poorhotiso and found his way to Yorkshire, where lie worked as a black smith. At home young Robert read eagerly the Bible. “Pilgrim's Progress,” and the “Young Man’s Companion,” at school, which he attended between the ages of five and®nine, he had obtained the ele ments of an education. *Put to work at the forge, he continued to study and while blowing the bellows, usually had an open book at hand, kept open with a bit of iron. At the age of 14 he left for a neighboring town to become an ap prentiee. Seven years were spent in ac quiring his trade. Subsequently while working as a blacksmith he became a Methodist and took up work as a local Methodist preacher. In 1850, at the age of 27, he married and with his wife emigrated to the United States. For nine years after his settlement at Shoemakertown, Pa., Mr. Collyer continued to work at his trade, most of the time preaching at a Methodist cliapel on Sunday, wielding the hammer during the week. Toward the close of this period he announced a change in his views on the doctrine of the atonement, was arraigned for heresy before the general conference of the Methodist Church, and had his license to preach revoked. During the agitation of the slavery question Mr, Collyer came under the influence of liUeretia Mott and joined the Garrison group of abolitionists. Then, feeling that the Unitarian Church took higher ground against slav ery than the Methodist Church, which was not free to discuss the question. Mr. Collyer threw in his lot with the Unitarians. In 1859, invited to the pulpit of the newly organized Unitarian Church in Chicago, lip became) minister of that body, and in the 20 years of his Connection with it made it one' of the most flourishing churches in the North west. His fame as a pulpit orator spread throughout the country and in 1879 a call came to him from the Church of the Messiah. New York City. He accepted and remained in active service until 1900, when lie was made senior associate pas tor with the Rev. Minot J. Savage, who had come to the church as associate min ister. A few years later Dr. Collyer retired on account of age. and was hon ored by the church with the title of pas tor emeritus. He lived to be 89 years old. I)r. Collyer was one of the most pop j ular and successful preachers America I lias ever known, aitfl demands for him | "s a speaker oil public occasions came j from all sections of the country. One of his most popular lectures was “From | Anvil to Pulpit,” in which he gave* an account, at once pathetic and inspiring, lof tlie conditions of his early life and of i the long struggles that ended in success. • The great preacher was always*proud of i having been a blacksmith. .In the j study of his church in this city be kept | for years the anvil at which he had worked. i BERGDOLL’S KIDNAPPER ASBUMEB FULL BLAME Griffis Tells German Court His Motive Was Purely Upon Patriotism. Mosbach, Baden, Dec. (I.—Testifying in. his own bejialf today. Lieutenant Cor liiii Ilooven Griffis, of Hamilton, 0., I who is charged with pni-ticiimtion in the | attempt last summer to kidnap Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, American draft evader, asserted that he was the prime mover in the plot to capture and take! Bergdoll back to the United States. The American Legion had no knowledge ofl the attempt, but numerous American offi- j cers in Paris were aware of it, he said, j Griffis was called as the first witness because, in accordance with German pro cedure. the defense always presents its evidence before the prosecutor introduces his. In the course of his testimony, Grif fis explained .that the American draft system was by number, and he said that the man who had taken Bcrgdoll’s num ber was killed. This explanation interested the Court. /Presiding Judge Kurzmann frequently had asked questions, and one of these j was whether the man who actually re placed Bergdoll in the army had met dentil. “Yes,” replied Griffis. ‘Every man had a number, and the man who drew Bergdoll’s number met death in action in France some months afterward.” In declaring that he had worked for purely patriotic motives, Griffis asserted that lie had expected no reward front the capture of the draft evader.

It keeps our cleansing fluid clean all the time and so immeasurably improves the quality of our work. * Imagine the difference that two ounces of dirt will make in the color of a suit or dress. That is the average amount taken from each garment we hnndle by our improved method of dry eleauiug. No wonder that customers some times cannot believe their eyes when clothing is returned to them with its original color restored. This dirt cannot be removed by brushing because it is firmly em bedded in the cloth. Here it not only hides the original color of the fabric, but. the gritty parts of it cut the threads and materially shorten the life of the garment.

Judge Gurzmann then called j Bergdoll’s uncle.

Griffis began his testimony by saying he desired to draw the' attention of the Court to the difficult situation confront ing him in outlining the contempt in which Bergdoll was held by the Ameri can people. Judge Kurannun asked why, after the war had been ended five years, I the Americans still insisted on Bergdoll returning and facing trial, declaring “time eliminates everything—even the hatreds of war.” "Time never will eliminate the feel ings of Americans in the Bergdoll case,” replied Griffis, who then launched into a detailed story of Bergdoll’s flight and the wrath arotised among the people. He told of insults later offered to tire Unit ed States government and the American people generally by Bergdoll, who, he said, escaped by the use of his wealth.
