WOULD DELAY NEW BUILDING
Board of Education to be Requested
Again to Lay Over the New Building

Members of the Finance Committee
of the City Council are planning to
make another effort to prevent any in
crease in the tax levy this year and to
this end the members Of the Board of
Education have been asked to consider
a plan to lay over the building of the
school in the Third ward for another
year. Several of the members of the
Board have expressed themselves as
willing to follow this suggestion of the
committee and the matter will be taken
up at the meeting of the Board to be
held week from tonight. If the APP
preparation for the new school can be
eliminated from the amount demanded
for the schools for the coming year the
Finance Committee believe that it will
be possible to struggle along with one
per cent. levy and the bond issue will
not be needed.

NEW STAMPS ON SALE
Kenosha Post Office to Secure a
Consignment of New Issue of
Stamps in Near Future
USE PORTRAITS OF THE DEAD

Stamp sales at the Kenosha post
office and others throughout the coun-
try will show marked increase next
week, when the new issue has been
placed on sale. Collectors probably
will hasten to acquire stock of the
new stamps to provide for the philatel-
list IS rainy day, when stamps of some
forgotten issue cannot be had for love
or money.
Only Washington and Franklin will
be honored by having their portraits
on the new stamps Franklin s image
will be on the one cent stamp, and
that Of Washington on all other issues.
There will be no more So and So
stamps, the highest denomination be-
ing 81.
The United States never has used
the image of a living man on any of
its stamps. This is in singular CON
trast to other countries, where the
face Of the ruler is seen on every
stamp that is issued. The face Of Ed
ward VII. is seen on every stamp Of
England and it's colonies and those Of
King Leopold Of Belgium, the late
King Carlos of Portugal, King Victor
Emanuel of Italy, King Alfonso of
Spain, Emperor Joseph of Austria and
Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland are
shown on the stamps Of their respec-
tive countries.
"When the first official stamps were
issued in 1847, there were only two
denominations, five cents and ten
cents, and the selection of portraits
was an easy NATTER says the New
York Post.
"What so natural as that Washing
ton and Franklin, who did so much
to make the republic possible, should
be chosen for the honors? Four years
later new denominations were found
to be necessary, one cent, three cents,
twelve, twenty four, thirty, and nine
cent. Then Jefferson got a place, but
of the remainder Of the series Wash
ington took five and Franklin two,
leaving the gallery about as one-sided
as it is presented in the issue that is
about to appear
From 1861 to 1865 two new faces
appeared, those of Jackson and Lin
coin, the latter being, it may be noted
the first thus hono1ed to be shown
with whiskers. There were no Iur-
Their changes until the issue of 1901.
Then Stanton followed his chief, Lin
coin, and Clay, Webster, Scott, Hamil-
ton and Commodore Perry also en-
tered the gallery. The commodore
nearly became the second in the list
of be-whiskered great men, but he
may be ruled out on the ground that
he had only sort of a woods path,
winding downward to his ear and
then extending in graceful circle
southeast to a point near the mouth.
Taylor came in for honors in 1875,
and less than twenty years later Ulys-
ses S. Grant, along with Garfield and
Gen. Sherman appeared. The next
vacancy went to Madison, the next to
Marshall.
In the issues of 1923 a sweeping
departure was made in the selection of
portrait of Martha Washington to
adorn the new eight cent stamp. Thus
far she, with Pocahontas, has exclu-
sive occupancy of the feminine por-
ton of the gallery President Nc
Kinley's death was followed quickly
by the appearance on the fve-cent
issue of the portrait of the President
who was assassinated at Buffalo.

CITY ENGINEER INJURED
Engineer Moth Falls in Trap Door at
the Plant of the Water Works

the Plant of the Water Works
City Engineer Robert H, Moth met
with painful injuries at the plant of
the City Water Company on Monday
afternoon when he walked into an open
trap door and sustained serious bruises
which resulted in his being confined to
his home today. Engineer Moth had
gone with the other members of the
Water Commission to plan some change
in the power house and one of the trap
doors had been left open by some Of
the workmen. In walking about the
building Moth slipped and fell into the
open trap. He was caught by members
of the Commission, but was so seriously
injured that he was taken to his home
in carriage. He will probably be laid
up for several days as result of the
accident.

CURE FOR DOUBLE CHIN.
Persistent Exercise viii Do Away with
This RegrettabIe Defect.

A double chin, that bugbear of so
many women, is caused by lack of ex-
ercise or eating an abundance of fat
making foods, or by indulgence In al
coholic beverages. 1t easily can be
gotten rid of by exercising persist
emily.
The best way to exercise is in a
nightgown, as this leaves the body in
a free and comfortable position and
leaves the neck free. First thrust the
jaw out so that the pull Of the throat
muscles is felt. Then before the feel
ing of this pull is gone draw the neck
back as far as possible. Tilt the head
up and down until the muscles begin
to feel tired, but not until they ache.

Fashions il Hair Drossln9

VXyHE young girl reaches that
" milestone in her career which is
marked by the frightening OF
her frocks and the turning up of her
braids she is so deeply concerned
about the fashion of doing her hair
as any debutante is over the question
of puffs or no puffs. Candidly, the
subject OF hairdressing means more
to the girl who wears her braids up
for the first time than 1t does to her
older sister. declares writer in the
New York Herald. She has nothing to
guide her in the way of former ex-
perience, and she does not always get
that sympathetic help older sisters
might render If they remembered how
important the couture is to the school
girl.
Because 1t is an arrangement new to
her and to her friends she can learn
what becomes her only by trying the
various styles which are approved by
fashion. She must devote a good deal
of study to her head and her face.
She must consider carefully the poise
and shape Of her neck; then after she
has studied herself due thought should
be given to the styles of hairdressing
themselves, and she must choose just
that one out of the many, ranging
from the jaunty to the classic, which
becomes her best. And, above all,
it should always be remembered that
simplicity is the keynote of girlish
hairdressing. Elaborate and imposing
effects are not only bad taste, but they
make young girl look ridiculous in
stead of sweet, charming and simple.
Doing the hair up does not mean
that the hair is actually arranged on
the top of the head. The up" is
used comparatively in contrast to the
hanging braids or curls worn by girls
under IA. In a general way the young
girls couture is following in the lead
OF the one adopted by fashionable
women. 1t suggests ever so slightly a
Grecian effect by reason of its full
ness at the back of the head. Wheth-
er the hair is done in one or two coils
or is braided and then pinned UP,
prominence is given to it at a point
midway between the crown of the
head and the nape of the neck. This
slight change distinguishes it from the
low coil which was worn last season.
and 1t also makes 1t more difficult to
wear becomingly. A weIl-shaped head
is required to set It Off advantageous
ly and give 1t a smartness that is not
characterized by lumplike arrange
ment at the back of the head.
A simple way to manage this style
of dressing is to roll the sides of the
hair back from the face. either from
a middle part or straight back from
the forehead, and twist it all together

across the head in horizontal line
instead of having them follow a verti-

looks particularly we'll. Girls will find

Next to the turned-up braids. in
point of simplicity and gradual change
in the couture evolution. is the loose
coil or twist which is generally de-
scribed as figure 8. The coil starts
at the back of the head Just below the
crown after the front has been
brushed back in a soft youthful pompa-
dour, then 1t twists up and down, COW
ering the head from the crown to the
nape of the neck. The loops are
fastened securely with shell hairpins,
and wide black ribbon bow may be
tied through the center to bring the
loops and ends just back of the ears.
For girls who have very little hair this
ribbon dressing will be found becom'

No matter how beautiful and lux

unless 1t Is well cared for it soon loses
