KNOCK OUT
Blow Given The One Per
Cent Tax Law
By The Supreme Court Of
Ohio Today

Columbus, o., Jan. 2e--In . decision
rendered today, the supreme court Of
Ohio practically knocked out the
Smith one per cent tax law. The do.
eis'on was given In q Putnam county
case.
The decision In effect nullifies the
vital features OF the law. Walter 8.
Stevenson. city solicitor, brought an
action In mandamus to compel the
budget commission of Putnam county
and the auditor to place levy on
the tax duplicate in the corporate lin.
its Of Leipsic assregatins 19.117 mills
for all purposes.
The common pleas court took the
position that 15 mills was the aggre-
gate levy that could be made, which
was the maximum Of I 1-2 per cent
provided for in the Smith law. The
circuit court reversed the common
pleas court and held that that maxi.
mum could be exceeded by sufficient
amount to take care Of the sinking
fund and interest. The supreme court
upholds that view. The gist of the de-
cision is that the levy can exceed the
! i-2 per cent limitation Of the law
for interest and sinking fund. This
wholly deprives the law OF its virtues
and practically knocks out the law.

Washable Veil
Both Charming
and Fashionable

THESE two wells have. in addition
to the advantage of being clean
ly. at least three others: they are be-
coming. they are durable and (what
means more to the eternal feminine)
they are fashionable.
Many more wells and other dress
accessories are made TO stand wash
ing than in former seasons. Each
year manufacturers of fabrics in
crease their efforts TO find stable
colors and methods of strong weav-
ing. for nearly all articles of apparel.
All fabrics appeal more surely and
permanently to the buying public II
this item of standing the wash is
among their virtues. For cleanliness
is an essential of elegance. Women
have taken to heart the axiom that
to be elegant things must first be
clean. The veil of fine meshed net
has widely scattered embroidered
dots and a graceful border made by
applying Renaissance braid and fine
cord The latter is chain-stitched by
machinery to the net. Such wells are
always in fashion. more or less, and
will last a lifetime. They sell from
fifty cents up to two dollars apiece,
as an average. The more elaborate
the border, the more expensive the
veil: therefore there are patterns
that cost more than two dollars
Even at a higher price this veil is
not a bad investment since il may be
used as fschu. or for trimming
bodice or as a flounce. Two wells OF
this kind made a beautiful decora
ton for a dressy waist.

FEMALE MAKES THE TROUBLE
Certainly in the Case Of the Mosquito
They Are "More Deadly Than
the Male"

The attention of many of our citi-
zens who hitherto have taken little in
terest in chronological investigation,
has been attracted to what they be-
lieve is a new variety of mosquito,
mosquito which in the course of evolu-
ton has lost it's bark. but not its bite;
that comes upon one unawares. with
out musical accompaniment. What
ever may be said against the insect 1t
should be set down to it's credit that
it takes its nourishment without mu-
sic, declining to give that additional
smart to ones misery. This active
but diminutive specimen of the genus
Culex, now at the close of summer. is
beginning a work that will continue
until the first sharp frost. AS matter
OF fact these mosquitoes that have had
no difficulty in pushing their way
through the smallest meshed wire
screens are all females. and for that
reason we hear no song. The males
are larger, perhaps cannot make their
way through the screens, and remain
outside, where they sing solos or join
in numbers and give hallelujah Choir
uses, and encourage the suffragette
sisters at their work inside. The sis
tiers have an Unsuitable thirst for blood
while the mouth of the male mosquito
/ is not equipped for biting and he does
not come into our houses. While the
sisters are inside drinking blood the
