A CREST ON YOUR BLAZER MAY COST YOU A FINE PEOPLE who like to sport a crest may not know that they are liable to a maximum fine of. £29 if they have not an armorial bearings licence.
Such a licence costs a guinen or two guineas a year. Middlesex Council have been told recently about a num- ber of cases of people who are using bearings and probably innocently not paying the duty.
And so the Council have prepared a circular letter which they are sending to all addresses where local taxation officers believe there may be a liability for the duty.
“Blazers, ringe, gold and silver ware, seals, chairs, carriages and cars, all render the owner liable to the tax if they bear a crest-even though it is not the personal badge of the user,” said an official of the Council to-day.
School And Club Crests
"For instance, a person may be given, or may buy second- hand, a crested signet ring. The device has nothing what- ever to do with him or his family, but he is liable for a guinea. a year just the same. The licence is two guineas for badges on carriages.
"In regard to school or club crests the licence fee for these.
is usually paid by the organisation and the individual mem- bers wearing it are exempt. Otherwise they must pay.
"The revenue collected by the Council from this source 'is approximately £1,000 a year.”
Grandpa Makes Good It Was Colder
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 30. FOR years grandfather has
been bragging about the tough winters of a near half century ago, and the popular reaction usually has been "That's what you think!"
But John B. Kincer, chief climatologist of the U. S. Weather Bureau, has reduced grandfather's bray to the realm of fact, with a scientifle bit of qualification..
Here to attend the National Science convention, Kincer ex- plained that prior to grandfather's time, there was a cycle of semi- tropical summers and tepld win- ters and that back of that was another cycle of the kind of weather that grandfather bragged about.
These cycles, Kineer said, have been going on for ages, and "rob- ably will continue. Ho ridiculed as "bunk" recent predictions that Western United States might be come a desert in 100 years.
•
That's the bunk," he said. "The west has experienced other and worse periods of dust storms than those of the last two years. They'll ́recur again. Normal and abner- mal periods of rainfall have come with enough frequency to increase vegetation and settle the soil..

Washington, Jan. 18. Inquisitive laboratory workers of the Department of Agriculture have partially solved one of na- ture's secrets-why some apples turn red and others yellow.

The dis- covery was outlined in his annual report to Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace on the Bureau's scientific achievements of the past year.
