Taxcs Arc High Enough

August l, 1910.
There would be a feeling of relief II
more were being heard from the city hall
about economy, and less about 5-mill
addition to our tax levy.
Des Moines is taxed as high as cities
of it's class sought to be. There are thou
sands OF things that ought to be done to
make it a better city, but there is a
limit beyond which taxation In any one
year ought not to go. People are chary
about bringing capital to cities where the
levy Is too high.
There is limit beyond which salaries
cannot be raised and beyond which new
offices ought not to be created.
While Des Moines has been making
great strides It rnnst ha Remembered that
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-08-07

Des Moines has not yet been officially
declared to be in the 100000 class. and that
cities OF that class cannot spend money
with Chicago or even with Kansas
City.
There are many who believe that what
Is here said should be emphasized in
school management even more than In
municipal management. Des Moines pays
tremendous school tax
There will be house cleaning some of
these days if the tax levy keeps on
climbing up.

err, July %. 1910.
Owing to The fact that there is prac-
tically nothing left in the general con-
tingent fund after the outstanding claims
are charged off. and the year for which
the fund was to last is less than one
third gone, members of the city council
have begun an investigation to learn
which of the superintendent has been
getting more than his share.
At the council meeting tomorrow Aud
itor John w. Hawk will present his re-
port to show that the fund Is practically
exhausted, and then the councilmen will
endeavor to find out where they can
curb expenditures for the next eight
months so the deficit will be as small
as possible.

A Bad Policy

From the Des MONIES (loWa) Evening
Tribune, July 2s. 1907
When city councilmen begin to use their
official power to pay political debts they
start on the way to trouble and possible
disaster.
OF the truth of this we have evidence
now in the serious shortage in some or
the city's appropriation funds. Only four
months Of the fiscal year have gone by,
and yet the contingent fund is practically
exhausted and altogether an inadequate
sum is left in 1t to provide for the needs
of the remaining eight months. This
shortage Is due to nothing else SO much
as the policy of majority OF the coun-
cilmen In voting salaries to men who had
been promised something by councilmen
in the city campaign, and who are abso-
lutely unnecessary to the proper conduct
of the citys business.
1t was time to stop before the council
men began doing this sort of thing. 1t Is
imperative that they stop now, or they
will land themselves and the city in seri-
Gus difficulty.

The majority in the city council which
has consistently voted this courtesy
policy onto the city will have something
to answer for IL the financial showing
proves as bad for the year as is now
promised.

cHANTEcLER EFFECT.
OF EVENING CLOAK

OF the many chantecler effects one
of the most useful and least startling
is an evening cloak that falls almost
to hem Of frock. with cape-like revers
and raglan sleeves.
The chief feature Of the cloak is that
it is reversible; it is made of TWO
shades of fine faced cloth and can be
utilized with darker side out for motor
ing.
The circular deep revers Of the light
tone when the dark side of coat is
worn. and is turned, dark side out.
for the light cloak There is no trim
ming of any kind on most OF these
models. though some have an irregular
border made Of inch-wide detached
strips Of light cloth on dark, and vice
versa.
These are cut about six inches long,
with slanting ends and are arranged
in two rows. a strip on second row OPP
posite space between strips on outer
row.

ROUGH, RED HANDS
r. MAY BE AVOIDED

If you would avoid red and rough

nor very hot water is. good for them.
Wear wooden gloves and carry mum
in cold weather.
The roughness on the left fourfnger'
caused by continued catching of the
skin with the needle when sewing can
be readily removed by rubbing with
a piece of pumice stone, which, by the
way. should be kept on hand near the
wash basin.
Whenever the hands arc washed II
should be done thoroughly Have we
mot all seen persons. who ought TO
know better, dab their hands into wa
ter or hold them under the faucet for
a minute or two, then proceed to wipe
the dirt into the towel? Children
should DO trained in these matters of
the toilet; soap, water, and a brush,
with a liberal application of energy will
render the smudgiest little fist fit TO
be presented to the keen-eyed caller
without any preliminary hiding of
hands in pockets and behind backs.
1t is a wise precaution in winter
TO rub little talcum powder into the
1hands after washing them.

FASHION AND FAD
BY Mrs. Maud E, cilley,

This summer we are to use the little
Chantilly lace marquise parasols, the
doll-like affairs with which our pretty
ancestresses used to screen their faces.
There are some beautiful parasols
with eyelet embroidery to match suits
of linen and others are trimmed with
embroidery "set in" matching the
lingerie gown prepared.
Very attractive covers for the baby
carriage are made of white linen or
crash, with figures of children and ami
mails stenciled or cut from cloth and
appliquod into place.
Cloth of silver ribbon embroidered in
silk and metallic threads and edged
with green crystals rejecting the tones
of the peacock's eyeseform a tillea for a
green costume.
Gallons, with flounces and allovers
to match work up into exquisite gowns
over either black. white or colored
satin or taffeta slops or over a double
slip Of chiffon and mousseline or mes
saline.
The dainty combination, petticoats
corset covers, nightgowns. dressing
Jackets and long negligees owe con-
siderable Of their attractiveness to the
profuse use of ribbons from IA to
inches in width.
Waistlines have descended to normal
positions with here and there some
slight disposition to remain a triiie
above with the skirt falling straight in
Empire style, but this fashion is rapid
" passing.
Charming hats are covered plainly
with real'lace and trimmed with snowy
aigrettes en- panache, or falling feath-
ers. The edges of such hat are
finished with black velvet, and there
is a band of it around the crown.
Some of the materials worn in nourn-
ing are silk and wool or all-wool crepe
cloth. imperial serge, wolfe tamise,
soleil. cheviot, diagonal serge; silk
warp materials are lighter and shake
the dust beautifully.
"Chantecler' and other Fittings are
in great demand to use as side jabots
on waists and gowns of silk or fine
tub goods. They are also in high favor
with mothers who love to have little
ones daintily dressed.
