A comparison of Treasury records reveals that the government's revenues for that year were the largest for any year sincp 1921. During the year revenues from all taxation sources totaled $3,520,000,-00- 0, the largest figure since 1921 when total revenues reached And the fiscal year 1935 was second highest with a total of $4,595,-000,00- 0. $3,299,000,000. j i RENTALS AND PROPERTY TAX A well known traveler and lecturer giving an address at the L. D. S. Assembly hall stated that "More than 1,000,000 poeple in the United States today are living in some 300,000 trailers, that Florida today has orderly and sanitary 'trailer cities,' containing as many as 1000 trailers," he related. Not only are trailer tourists a manifestation of wanderlust, but they are the embodiment of protest against high property tax and rentals, he said. well-police- d, HOME BUILDING If the construction industry could be resumed on the same scale as You could crash, the depression would be over at once. the with is to what wrong housing quesanyone a guess as The reason is that even then you wouldn't get the answer. any answer to it.

NEWLYWEDS SEEK VAGABOND LIFE IN SOUTH SEA ISLES of Money Forces Them to Honeymoon on Shortage Tropical Fruit. : it San Francisco The flight of two Michigan couples from a life of conventionalities has ended in conventionality, but they are not downhearted. Last March Mr. and Mrs. Archie Hogan and Mr. and Mrs. Murill F. Walls of Pontiac, Mich., were married in a double ceremony and thereupon resolved to become vagabonds on the face of the earth, more or less. They had saved some money and were going as far as it would take them. Then they would earn some more or find some way to continue a life free of prosaic wage slavery. The first stop was Tahiti in the South Sea isles, land of pagan romance. Meanwhile they would collaborate in a book, "Life in Progress." in which they lived the plot. On the boat trip from San Fran cisco Mrs. walls became ill and a nhvBician advised that the "wonder ful" Tahitian climate would not be good for her. The Walls took the tint host back. Walla had siven ud a Job as high school teacher. They went to live with his parents. The Hogans proved to be of aterner stuff until their money ran out Then they got out their return steamship tickets, purchased Just to "play sale." Actual Cash Needed. Back in San Francisco Hogan ex claimed: "Disillusioned? I should say not. Life in a grass hut is all that it's cracked up to be. Unfor tunately. everybody even the na tives have to spend a little actual cash. I'd say about $25 a month for an American couple is enough. . . We're going back." After three days in Papeete the Hogans went to the nearby ifland of Moorea. They found someone owned all the land, and had to rent a strip of palm fringed beach for $1.50 a month. Natives built them a grass shack for $20. Shortage of money forced them to honeymoon on raw fish,, bananas limes, coconuts, wild . orhcs, aeadfrult. .$jt they f.were, shocked r.uropeana living like natives oa Moorea and others, more civilized, living at Tahiti. They found no in sects or snakes to bother them. Meanwhile in Washington, D. C, Samuel W. King, delegate to congress from Hawaii, unfurled a map and charted a better course for folks who want to get away from to. find three automobiles on Moorea. They also found about 20 Americans and aU. "These people, who romantically set sail for some far distant island hoping to find a new life usually end up in disillusionment at a resort," said King. "The trouble lies in not picking the right spot." He pointed to a little red dot labeled "Palmyra." Explaining that Palmyra is about 1,000 miles southwest of Hawaii in the Pacific, Delegate King said it had all that adventuring romanticists should desire. "The place has wonderful coco nuts and huge crabs that are as tender as chicken. He said that both are plentiful, but that neither get in your way. "As a matter of fact, these fine crabs are a double boon. They climb the coconut trees and clip off the coconuts. All a lazy man has to do to get by is to collect the coconuts and then bean the crab with one when he descends." King also recommends Laysan. "This little island," he asserted, "has no crabs or nuts, but it has wild rabbits. The last time I was there you did not have to hunt them. They would come up to you." Another choice is Nehlo. The attractions there are wild potatoes and excellent loulou palms with which a house can be built over night. "When I hear of people going off to all of these conventional places for romance." King said, "I think about these little islands and sigh. They don't know what they are missing." Armless "Boy Wonder" Is Expert Tap Dancer McCallen, Tex.

Government plans call for the construction of 161,500 automobiles in the Soviet Union in 1936, compared with 98,700 produced in 1935. The first closed cars ever to be made here also will be produced. Despite the severity of Russian winters all automobiles manufactured so far have been touring cars. The most luxurious type will be a seven passenger sedan to be produced by the Moscow Stalin automobile plant. It will have an eight cylinder motor of 110 horse power and a speed approaching 100 miles an hour. Four thousand of these will be produced during the year, according to plans. First new sedans of the five passenger type are scheduled to leave the production lines of the Gorki automobile nlant soon. Tim eminent has announced that they win ce constructed with the precision of American automobiles and furnished with every comfort, "even Including ash trays." These tars will be of 52 horse power. The 1930 manufacturing quota is 13,000. Mental Patients Get Jobs That Lead to Normalcy Harrisburg, Pa. There is no unemployment problem in Pennsylvania's mental institutions.

A trail made years ago by a prehistoric, three toed dinosaur wading in the tidal flats of what was then a gulf covering half of Texas, is being reconstructed at the University of Texas. The trail the longest of dinosaur tracks known shows plainly 17 footprints of the monster. The trail was found in Cowhouse creek in Hamilton county. Other dinosaur tracks were discovered in the vicinity, but none equaled the find of Cowhouse creek in scientific importance. The footprints, extending 75 feet along the bed of the creek, had been made by the 25 foot animal as it took steps five feet in length while searching for food, Dr. H. B. Stenzel, geologist, said. The muck the dinosaur walked in was turning into limestone, and the tracks left by its three toed feet were preserved. W. S. Strain, field man for the division of geology of the university, supervised the work of .quarrying out the footprints. The stones have been shipped to Austin, and 11 of the 17 tracks will be exhibited at the university this summer. Hyland 1210 With a tremendous wave of popularity.

An allocation of $211,500 was made during 1935 for the project, which completed nearly. 5,000 talking book machines and provided Jobs for 300 men, many of whom are blind. This number is expected to be doubled with the new allocation. Talking books have been distributed and are now in use in every state in the United States, Honolulu and Alaska, and in the leper colonies in Louisiana and Honolulu, Mr. Williams said. A total of 4,992 machines have been made and distributed by the Library of Congress, sponsor for the project, through state commissions for the blind and 27 main distributing libraries of the main library. Free distribution has been made to settlement houses, hospitals, community centers and other places where there are blind persons. The machines are loaned for an indefinite period just as library books are loaned for two weeks. The blind reader may keep the machine and apply for new sets of records as often as he desires. Both machines and recordj are mailed free in special containers. Martin Roberts, assistant librarian of the Library of Congress and federal director of the project, estimated that 5,000 more talking books could be made, with several hundred machines for use in localities where there is no electricity. Records for the talking books are made by radio and stage artists, many of whom donate their BEAUTY SHOPPE MA-ZE- L General Distribution Made by Library of Congress.

A rose will vary in every one of the same species. Yet we may recognize the different roses by their correct botanical names and give them specific descriptions, both of form and of beauty. Nature is always consistent though she would try to contravene her laws. She equips her self with one., thins old vet ever new tne one thing needful: life It is from life that nature cork pounds her creations and frorr; it that she finds the power of uni- formity in variety. Growth and reproduction are es- sential characteristics of cause all living forms ay constantly reaching a limit ofrowth, and ujuug. uvuig uungfj reproduce themselves, but oneAf the facts of reproduction species is alike in always slightly different. VTe spo&k of this slight duTereXe as Individuality. Every speotes changes all its Individuals lies in each generation. Thus does "one touch of nature make the whole world kin," and yet is each touch an individual touch revealing variety in uniformity. We may classify dogs according to their breeds and distinguish a German police dog from all other species, and one German police dog from another. If the law of variety did not function, this would be a very monotonous world. The differences existing in the species itself are a challenge to the spirit of investigation as well as an element of appreciative value. The law of variety is not difficult to understand, since variations are caused by both heredity and environment. The uniformity in nature is also evident when we remember that "ontogeny recapitulates phytogeny" or the history of the individual repeats itself in the history of the race and vice versa. Every acorn I tub. ject to the laws Of growth, develop ment, and disintegration. A forest oak can be produced in no other way. Would it not also be a very monotonous world if every person looked exactly alike? Would we not all be victims of ennui if every person behaved in exactly the same manner? In spite of variety In the moral world, the aspect of uniformity saves us from our worst enemy, ourself. In the realm of moral values, the creative moral impulses are born from within by a power higher than ourselves a power "which makes for righteousness." If we add to our faith, virtue, to virtue, knowledge, and on to the end of the octave of the highest spiritual realities, moral and spiritual norms will manifest themselves in different ways, yet will they be true to their law of uniformity: individual reproduction in the individual mind and heart. The stable norms which know no variety in essence are the realities upon which character is developed. They govern conduct, enlarge personality, and are the principles which emphasize right living which in substance is: "to do Justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly wim my uoa. isttthe fcbui ; .

GAY ENSEMBLE Paris Several of the eyewitnesses to the antics of the monster of Loch Ncsa in the summer of 1934 affirmed that he was an amphibian. This is now apparently substantiated by Le Petit Parisien of the French capital, which also explains why the landlords and their, guests at Inverness last summer looked for the return of the monster in vain in spite of the allegation of e chief constable from a Sotheron town that he had really seen the monster. According to the Paris paper's veracious correspondent posted at Limoges, the Loch Ness monster has been observed twenty miles due south of the pottery town, in the forest of Palzou, where Gustave Dore is said to have made the original sketches for the illustrations to. Dante's "Inferno." "If you cast your eye over a road-- ! map of France in search of districts-wherthe means of communication' are rare," writes the equally vera- -' cious Paris correspondent of The Observer of London, "you will find few where the space is so blank as the country due south of Limoges, and the country of the the "There are other parts of France where there are wide stretches of what may almost be called virgin forest; but there are few which are so wild as the forest at Palzou, Some of it to still abnost impenetrable. The few inhabitants of the villages on its outskirts most of whose names end in 'ac' regard it as a sinister and myste' rious place. "They are as ready 'as their forefathers of the Middle) Ages to believe that strange monsters still find shelter within the borders. Indeed, they are convinced that they have, if not seen, at least,1 heard such a monster within the last few weeks. "The terrifying a ad indescribable cry to which the fting gives utterance has waked several solid farmers from their sleep and made their hair stand on end eith fear.
