The Council of National Defense
haa issued the following circular ad
dressed to State councils:
The Navy Is in need of binoculars,
spyglasses, and telescopes. Its supply
of lenses in the past has come chief
ly from France and Germany, and
American resources are Inadequate to
All the present greatly increased de
mand. In this emergency the Navy
counts upon the American public to
contribute Its stock of privately own
ed observation glasses with the same
generosity that has marked its dona
tions of sweaters, mufflers, and other
articles of comfort for sailors.
Nobody should hesitate to send
glasses because they are old. for old
lenses are often of good quality. The
navy department will repair instru
ments that are out of condition, pro
vided the glass is satisfactory.
In order to conform to the Govern
ment policy of not accepting dona
tions. the navy department will pay
$1 lot each binocular, spyglass, and
telescope accepted. The glasses should
be tagged with the owner's name and
address and forwarded direct to Hon.
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Assistant Sec
retary of Navy, care of Navel Obser
vatory, Washington. D. C. They will
be promptly acknowledged, and those
not available will be returned.

TAX ON EVERY ACRE
NOT IN CULTIVATION
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. 13.—
Heavy taxes for every acre of areable
land not put to the production of
food will be proposed to congress at
the impending session in a bill pre
pared by Representative Randall, of
California. Mr. Randall proposes to
tax every acre of untilled land $5 and
every unplanted city lot $1, the taxes
to go to the support of the war. The
government would gain revenue and
increase the food supply, he thinks.
