CHANGE STYLE OF DRESSING
Arrangement Of Couture Must 30
Altered From Time 20 Time,

So much has been said OF the folly
Of changing the couture to suit each
passing style that the other side is
apt to be overlooked. Hair can be
worn too continuously in one style.

may find herself without any hair on
the top Of her head in the place where
the hair ought to grow

Fashion Which Is Not Received

Nowadays II is found convenient TO
change the style of hair dressing in or

One reason for the justifiable revival
OF the light-curled lovelocks that stray
about the forehead is the immense
popularity of the short center parting.
which is Just little trying without
their softening influence; and another
is the reinstatement of the heavy plat
or the twisted drapery of hair which
is used to frame the chignon. When
the plait weights the hair over the
forehead the counteracting effect of

All Accounts On Same Basis.

State Tax Commissioner Fred o.
Blue has told the county officials
OF Hancock, Brooke, Wetzel, Marshall
and Ohio counties in regard to the
provisions Of the uniform accounting
laws. The entire day was occupied
with the conference and instructions
or Mr.. Blue and it is believed that the
officials now have thorough knowl-
edge of the workings OF the system.
While the uniform accounting law
has been in force since 1909, much
confusion has resulted from the at
tempts to put it into practice and it
is to correct this state of affairs that
Mr. Blue is now making a tour OF the
state. Previous to the passage of this
law, each county had its own system
and IL has been found hard to break
away entirely from some customs
which have existed for a half century
Accuracy Desired.
Mr.. Blue addressed the commission.
ers, the sheriffs and county clerks
He stated that his purpose was to
have all understand the uniform ac-
counting system thoroughly; that am
pie time would be given for the mas
terry of its details and that after that
time, all officials would be required to
comply with its provisions Mr.. Blue
stated that he did not want anyone to
infer that fraudulent intent was sus.
pected, even though it should be
found advisable to send auditors to
The counties from time to time to cor
rect discrepancies. He impressed the
fact that it is uniformity and accu-
racy that are desired and that every
possible means is to be employed to
secure both.
1T is my greatest desire" continued
Mr. Blue, ito get this excellent system
to working smoothly. West Virginia
already has the lowest tax rate and
with The uniform accounting law in
perfect operation, she will be the
model state of the union in this re-
spect."

good many contrasts OF coloring
