WOMEN AND DRESS.

The fashions adopted by women
this summer are given a striking and
truthful description by Basil King,
the author, who says:
walked down Fifth avenue re-
Gently, and II was like being at a
fancy dress ball in lunatic asylum.
This flaring of crazy colors, do not
doubt at all, affects the people who
are compelled to look at II day after
day 1t makes you feel as II you had
been looking at a moving picture of
the cubist order. The more civiliza-
ton was increased the further peo-
pie previously had come to covering
their bodies up. The inclination of
the present generation is on the
down grade, for women take off in
stead of put on. If you are walking
in a street you do not have a chance
to see what sort of faces women
have. Their gaudy, weird shaped
clothes kill everything except their
figures.
This is as true of Louisville as
New York, for here may be seen on
the streets every day hundreds of
women whose dress is suggestive of
anything but modesty.

TAXING THE CHURCH.

Samuel L. white, City Comp
troller of Louisville, delivered an
address before the convention of the
National Association Of Comptrollers
and Accounting Officers at Chatta-
nooga last week that has attracted
widespread attention. Upon first
reading it would appear that the
louisville Comptroller would impose
tax upon religion and charity, but
10 the Kentucky Irish American he
said that was not his intention.
From his address we quote:
will go further and say that
even on property used for purely
religious and charitable purposes
md non-sectarian educational in
etitutions only certain percentage
of exemption should apply, based on
the market value OF land and i'm
provements in that locality-sucn
exemption to be so nominal as
merely to indicate that the character
Of the institution owning, and the
particular use to which the property
was put, were thus recognized, and
all over and above that percentage
out on the same basis as other realty
and personally. / have arrived at
this conclusion after careful study
and consideration, and make this as
sertion with all reverence to relig-
ion and things religious, but 1
honestly feel that the nontaxation
Of edifices ostensibly devoted to re-
ligious purposes and the buildings
connected Herewith, particularly
where such flourish to large ex-
tent. has been detriment and a
hindrance to the normal develop
ment of cities whose taxpayers are
overburdened because OF the ex-
emption of a very large part of the
property within the corporate limits
which should be bearing its fair
share of the cost of Government
This is dangerously near imposing
a tax on the right Of people to
worship God or dispense charity to
the unfortunate. Our Comptroller,
however, says to us that he meant
only such property as was devoted
TO cOmmerclal anu revenue PiOuuNhe
purposes, to which few will object,
but every person should strenuously
oppose even the suggestion of i'm
posing a tax on church buildings,
schools, orphan asylums and homes
for the aged and infirm. Such in
situations, instead of being a burden
ts1frvASsate, are its greatest benefit,
welding an influ4nce for good eiti-
zenship and right living WORT more
than ten times. any amount that
would be derived from their taxa
ton. Our churches are doing a
spiritual work that should not be
with.

An Odd Baseball Play.

President Tim Murnane of the New
England league has made decision on
an odd play in settling disputed game
between Portland and New Bedford.
President Murnane overruled his UNI
pire on the play and awarded the game
to Portland, which would have won it
otherwise Murnane's decision ex-
plains the disputed play as follows:
Zone man was out and one man was
on third base when a fly was knocked
to the outfeld. which was juggled by
one outfelder and caught by another.
The umpire allowed a double play aft
er the ball had been relayed to third
because the runner left the base after
the ball left the first mans hands. The
umpire should have allowed the run, as
the runner was entitled to leave the
base the moment the ball touched the
f1elder's hands. whether held, muffed
or juggled This run would have won
the game and prevented it from going
an extra inning. Accordingly the pro
test is allowed and the game awarded
to Portland"
