BANKERS PROTEST
AGAINST WAR TAX

people, as rule, are strongly opposed
to the war tax as passed by Congress,
and while few are willing to publicly
express their views, there is an under.
current of dissatisfaction which crops
out in their general conversation. Tho
banks of the city are the worst hurt
of any business that comes under the
tax, apparently, and the bankers here
will join those of cities all over tho
country in protest against what they
term an unreasonable and burdensoma
tax. Thomas r. Preston, president Of
the Hamilton National Bank, and
others were interviewed and the opin
ion is general that there has been Il
discrimination against the banking in.
stitutions. They ask the question why
the banks are the only corporations
that have been singled out for taxa
ton in this time of need. Mr.. Preston
stated the Hamilton National Bank
would have to pay about $3.50 a month
as result of the war tax. He then
pointed out the fact that the state.
county and city income war tax meant
an annual outlay of SAL 900, which is
more than is paid to their 50 clerks
and nearly as much as is paid to the
clerks and all officers of the Corpora
ton.
The First National Bank will pay
practically 1925 q. month as its share
81 the war tax. The Chattanooga
Brewing company will be taxed at
least $4,000 year under the new
law. The management announced
that the burden seemed too great and
a curtailment of output is likely to
result. Brokers of the city declined
to make statements, merely saying
that they looked upon the tax as an
outrage considering the fact that the
war situation had practically put
them out of business.

to receive an announcement from Miss

DIETZEL IN COURT.
Testimony Of Witnesses Of the State

Testimony of Witnesses of the State
Taken.
Union City.-The Obion county
courthouse was crowded when Grim
inal proceedings in the case of the
state VS.. Frank Dietzel indicted for
the murder Of George (Choppy) Web
man on the night Of July II, was be-
gun. The jury was obtained and sworn
in and was on hand in good health and
spirits.
Many witnesses for the state and for
the defense were sworn en- masse and
then dismissed to a safe place where
they could not hear the evidence on
the stand. Among the witnesses sworn
were several women, one of them be-
ing Miss Clara Wehman, daughter of
the murdered man, who is taking the
utmost interest in every move in the
case.
Young Dietzel sat with his attorneys
and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Herman
Dietzel, at the front.
IL, The charge of murder in the first
degree was read to the jury, after
Clerk H.. M. Golden had been sent out
after it, by Give Lannom, who repre-
sents Miss Wehman in the case and is
also assisting the state. Here many

wives began to arrive and the confu
sion of finding them seats ensued

their minds. Occasionally there is one
that is different. Miss Shapiro was
different. She was earnest, ambitious
and eager to learn She wanted to
have her full share of the innocent
pleasures of life, but downtown meant
business to her. AS she wanted to go
ahead in the world she could not see
wherein she would be doing Justice
to herself if she did not learn every
thing she could about business.

thing every day. She studied her en-
ployer's business. studied the methods
by which things were done and re-
tanned all the knowledge she obtained
She was not content merely to tran
scribe the notes of her employers
letters Whenever she could make
herself useful at any other work, she
was eager to do it. First of all, she
wanted to be hrst-class stenogra-
pher. The more difficult the dictation
the better she liked it. Within two
years she could write so fast steno-
graphically and so accurately that she
was the pride of the Office
It is all very well to be frst-class
stenographer, but stenography has its
limitations. She could not hope to get
more than $25 or $50 week, regard
less of how expert she became. She
wanted to fit herself for something
better. She had an idea that If she
became we'll grounded In business she

ers could impart to her.
She wanted to be thorough so she
was not content to work in only one
branch OF Wall streets business. She
took various employments simply with
the idea of getting experience and
knowledge. She worked for banker
and she worked for a broker; then she
worked for lawyer, then she worked
for mining man.
Too Good for clerkship.
A clever young woman learns faster
than clever young man. and has
better grasp of detail. The men Miss
Shapiro worked for were delighted
with her services. They would have
been happy to have retained her as a
clerk. But she did not wish TO remain
a clerk She had a finer mind than
some OF the men she worked for, and
a better grasp of business. She thought
she might aspire to some official posi-
ton, like secretary or assistant secre-
tary to corporation. She knew she
had executive ability, and with her
skill at accounts and her fine grasp of
correspondence and general business
she knew she could give good service
Men who knew her capabilities praised
her highly, and declared she was one
of the brightest young women they
ever had found in the business field.
Praise is very pleasant, but when
there was vacancy in secretarial
position, and Miss Shapiro applied for
it, those who had the awarding of the
position hemmed and hawed. They
would like to give 1t to her they ac-
knowledged, but it never would do.
They had to have a man, they said.
To have a woman in an official posi-
tion would be unconventional. Bust.
ness is bound by convention. Some
day it may be different but that day
is still distant

Unusual Audiences Attracted
To PLAY of Little Women"

The seat sale for the engage
ment of Little Women" at the
Tacoma theater Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, with matinees Fri
day and Saturday, opens Wednes-
day. No play of the last decade
has created the same interest
among theater-goers as has Lit
tie Women" The secret of its
unprecedented success lies in the
fact that it is so distinctly diff
ferent from all plays that have
gone before. Snowy-haired old
ladies and blue-filleted little
maids that have never been out SO
late before always comprise a
large share of audiences but there
are men present too, young and
old, who do not scrupel to wipe
away a tear at the death of little
Beth or break out in joyous
laughter over the mad pranks of
the Marsh girls. For the play,
just as the book has for three
generations, exercises a univer-
sal appeal over all ages and
sexes.

The Confessions
of a Wife G


a few moments the folks were
settled, and Dicks father came
across and opened the door.
We'll, well, Margie!" he said,
you certainly have made a pretty
place of it."
do you think so, Dad?" asked
Dick proudly. 81 think myself it's
about the. only thing in interior
decoration, but, you see, 1 may
be rather prejudiced."
Just then his mother came in.
l could see by her face that she
was agreeably surprised by the
rooms, and she said: Where did
you learn so much, Margie, about
household decoration? You have
certainly made as pleasant abid-
ing place for Dick as anyone
could wish"
do you think SO, Mother
dear?" / questioned gayly. Its
awfully sweet of you to say 30. :"
l had never seen Dick look HAPPIER
since we were married than he did
as I went over and kissed his
mother.
81 not only think It, but I am
going to ask Margie to help me do
over our house next spring."
Although Dad growled at what
he called useless expense" I, for
once, took his wife's side, for 1
had been just aching to "do over"
that house with its beautiful
things put side by side with ugly
things.
II won't let you use any nudes,
though, Margie," said Mother Wa
verify as she stood before one of
my pet pictures, a dry point etch-
ing of Henner called 'at the Foun-
tain" The picture was chaste and
beautiful very rare expression
of the famous artist.
"Of course, that is a matter of
taste, mother dear latter the first
plunge calling her mother comes
easy). Personally ] can see moth
ing wrong in the picture, but It is
only question of taste-not of
morals"
do you really think II is mod
est?" she inquired.
81 don't know that I realize
just what the word modest means
to YOU" i answered. at seems tb
me that every person, as well as
every country, has a different
definition. To me what people
call modesty is something which
most people cannot define, but
which they make to cover q cer-
tain prescribed standard Of con-
duct which must not be deviatefI
from under any circumstances.y
"And the deviations are much
worse IL the other fellow does the
deviating," put in MoIlie.
Il am going to teach my chill
dren when you have them," broke
In Dick, that decency and indie
cency are conceived in the mind.
and like all other created things.
they must be conceived before
they are born in words and ac-
tioDs."

that they must keep their minds
pure and then purity of action
and body will follow as surely as
the night the day."

dress pictured is of polka-dotted

can use the bordered material
which is to be worn again this

The skirts of all the new

there are buttons galore every
where they can be placed.

CHAPTER LXXXH.

We met Dick going in the hotel.
He seemed very glad to see his
father, and as he put his arms
about his mother and kissed her
l could see he was very fond Of
her.
Up to this time I had been
thinking to myself that l did not
marry Dicks family, but it came
to me all at once that that was
Just what 1 had done. No man or
woman who marries can help mar
rying the whole family.
Get a room as near us as pos
sible for your father and mother,
Dick" l said, "for they are going
to stay with us all night"
Good" exclaimed Dick heart
lily.
BY the time we were upstairs
Dick followed us with the keys TO
a room Just across the hall, and In
