INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

The income tax amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States was put into
effect at noon on Thursday of last week
in formal proclamation by Secretary OF
State Philander c. Knox.
The amendment, the first since that en-
acted 43 years ago, protecting the negro
in his right to vote, is the sixteenth added
to the original Constitution.
The proclamation followed the ratifca-
ton of the income tax resolution by three
fourths Of the States in the Union, after
its passage by Congress. Under the law
it is necessary for the Secretary Of State
officially to proclaim to the President and
to the country the adoption of any Consti-
tutional amendment before it becomes
valid.

A signature rather new in the car
toon world is that of Lou Rogers"
When this name first began to appear
in the corner of breezy, up to the min
ute cartoons seen in newspapers and
magazines the public, and particularly
that part of it composed Of brothers Of
the caricaturist cult. began to wonder
who this man Rogers was.
Great was their amazement when the
truth leaked out that a woman was
the power behind the pen-a tiny lit
tie woman at that, at least in physical
proportions, but with a brain stuffed
full of original ideas that any arrived
cartoonist might envy.
And the wonder was heightened
when it became known that this young
woman up to a few years before her
work appeared had spent most Of her
life in Maine lumber camp, where her
father was employed. The force and
meaning of a cartoon had never been
explained to Miss Rogers. To the lum-
herman they were merely funny pic
lures caricaturing a subject or situa-
tion, but the "girl Of the Limberlost"
sensed them and determined to make
her impressions Of current events
known to the world through the car
toon medium.
How to get enough technical art
knowledge to reproduce these ideas on
paper was the problem.
That this training has been gained
one has only to see the work now being
accomplished by this pluclly girl.
Miss Rogers is an ardent suffragist,
and many Of her best cartoons are to
be found in magazines published by
the cause.
