priced lawyer probably will get the job.
as soon as it can be determined what

what efficient man can be hired for the

The controller of the Treasury. George

lump-sum appropriation for the admins
tration of the income tax can be drawn
upon for reasonable compensation for
such a lawyer, and that the law does not
prohibit the employment of such services.
So the way is open. if the expenditures of
the income tax collection division will
permit the added burden of good salary
for good man.
The need of a legal adviser has been
felt from the beginning of the operations
of the division. Assistant Commissioner
Speer. in charge of the division, has been
endeavoring to attend to the legal work,
but finds his administrative duties accu-
mulating so that he must be relieved OF

Belgium is a blend of the French and

rather striking mixture. The Teutons.
who are true Hollanders in the main, and
the French-Speaking Belsians meet har-
moniously in business and social affairs.
but as rule they preserve their tradi-
tons.
AS a result of long years of associa
ton there is some admiXture, and many
Brussels families are in their ways
about half and half, with Teutonic and
Gallo food and drink about equally
favored. Such is the household of which

more need of the establishment of civic
centers here in the absence of the right

Although expressing the belief tina,
the church has its own mission, Mr.
Ward stated that the members of the
different churches should get together
in common meeting place and make
plans for a closer relationship of the
masses. The social center movement
