The TOTAL LEVY.
Tax Experts Figure Topel<ans VIII
Have to Pay 81 76 on the 500.

If the present program is carried
out. and the county levy is as high as
it is fully expected to be, the reduc-
ton in the total tax levy this year in
comparison to last year will be too
small to amount to anything.
The proposed levy for a sinking
fund to meet board of education
bonds. which County Clerk Samuel G..
Zimmerman says he will insist upon,
will mean big increase in the board
of education levy, amounting to more
than the reduction in the city levy. In
fact it will take practically all of the
proposed reduction in the county levy
to make up the difference. The state
levy remains the same as last year.
An increase of 81 mills in the board
of education levy is proposed to meet
bonds already due or that will mature
early next year, and therefore should
be paid out of this years tax.
The entire levy, if the addition for
a sinking fund is extended, will be ap-
proximately as follows in cents on the
valuation of $780,:

FEAR MIx-Up OF FALSE HAIR
Why Women, Apparent Strangers,
Insist on Occupying Adjoining
Eerths In Pullman. :

Nobody can tell funnier stories
about the false-hair craze than rail-
road employees.
"For some time after women began
to swell their heads out with such
enormous quantities OF hair" said a
Pullman conductor, "we couldn't quite
understand why women who were ap-
parent strangers to each other should
insist upon occupying neighboring
berths, even bargaining to exchange
with other passengers to obtain the
desired accommodations. Finally a
girl wearing about hushel OF blonde
hair enlightened me.
"'Have you noticed she said, that
a blonde insists upon sleeping near
another blonde, and brunette near
another brunette? They do that 70

emergency that necessitates quick
dressing. Surprising there should be
an accident In the night and every
body would have to throw on their
clothes and hair in the dark. If am
shut up in the same compartment
with a brunette I am likely TO mix
some of her black hair with my
blonde puffs and she mine with hers.
What We would both look like can be
imagined. That happened to me once,
so now | insist upon sleeping near a
bloude neighbor. even IL l have TO

HoNoRED BY THE BEDOUINs
Solemn Ceremony by Which Homer
Davenport Became Brother Of
Prince Akmet Haffex.

Homer Davenport went into the
Syrian desert to buy Arabian horses,
and there he met Akmet Haifez, prince
OF the Bedouins. In the bohemian Mr..
Davenport describes the high honor
conferred on him by the prince:
And at last. as though he were yet
afraid that he had not shown enough
friendship to his American friend, this
big-hearted chief conferred on Mr..
Davenport the highest honor within a
Bedouin's power. Mr. Davenport gives
the following vivid description of the
queer ceremony:
Il hope to succeed in impressing the
reader with the very fine nobility of
character of Akmet Haffez. My
friendship with him and my admira-
ton for him began at our first meet
ing In Aleppo, and each day made
both stronger, And now was to
come into close relations with him.
The morning after the mare became
mine we were to start on a visit to
Sheikh All, and Just before we mount
ed ! went through the ceremony
which made me his brother.
Neither OF us had brothers, and so
We agreed to follow out the old GUS
toms Of the Bedouins and take the fra
ternal pledge. l first treated the mat
ter little too frivolously, but the Be-
douins were very solemn.
HEfopdtp0 az spa r,iJa 80 The kapf In
the presence Of many witnesses, we
held up our right hands and with our
left clasped together repeated the
pledge. Akmet Haf1ez began with the
words: 'Wallah! valiant 60 God!
My Godl) which repeated after
him. 'Wallah Wallah!' and then to-
gether we said them over and over
again.
"'Billah! Billah! Tillah! Tillahv
