American operations in Mexico as
sumed renewed aspects Of war today
when additional marines from the
American fleet landed and took pos
session of Vera Cruz.
While the presidents orders we're
observed to the letter it was appar-
ent in the White House conferences
that the United States would take
no further steps OF paciiication now
High authorities declared that the
United States would hold Vera Cruz
to convince Huerta that the United
States meant business.
No action will be taken at Tam
pico unless Huerta begins retalia-
tory tactics. An ominous aspect
was lent to the present situation by
reliable reports that Huerta had re-
called Charge Algara and had Civ

federals are likely at any minute to
begin aggressive attacks. Every

These latter I should be glad to have you correct. They are as follows:

LODGING THE PERSONAL TAX.

It is regrettable fact that it is still necessary to collect the personal tax through the police court. The re- quirements surrounding the officials who are entrusted with the collection of the taxes should be sufficiently well known by this time to overcome the necessity of arrest and additional costs in order to obtain the levy which is imposed upon all between certain ages unless incapacitated or exempt Those who have neglected to give the proper attention to the obligation, hoping that thereby the necessity will be overcome q must realize the faTlacy of such d course, and those who have forgotten to respond to the call of the collector are receiving the fruits of procrastina- tion- Even many who are unable to pay fail to take the trouble to reveal their financial condition until after court procedure has been instituted.
 It fs noticeable fact however. tha. the number who fail to assume thi, re- sponsibility until made to is s1na1 in comparison with the total list The lessons of the past in this regard should be sufficient to entirely elirni- nate recourse to the courts, but just so long as the law exists and there continues to be delinquents the action must be taken. It is only by such steps that the idea, which became so firmly established that the old com mutation tax didn't have to be paid. can be overcome. Dodging the per- sonal tax is too small a proposition to plan Its payment is not only the cheapest in the end, but it is the prop CT display of citizenship.

rafYa Waist Line.

MT Editor: One of The Bulletin S Health and Beauty" notes this morn ing assures it's readers that Deep breathing in the open air will help re- duce the waist.
 That, of course, doesn't relate to the ladies only, for since ex-President Taft has been out in the open air good fning duties of the White House, he has bene out in the open air good deal and has been compelled to have 35 pairs of his trousers made over by his tailor on account of too much slackness of cloth over the waist. Isn t it & wonder he didn't have his vests made over, too? Does he exercise in his shirtsleeves?
 To be sure, the ex-president hasn't been eating lately the biggest of Hor- ace Vose's turkeys, but that could hardly account for the remarkable change in his physical appearance. nor could golf have brought it about after failing so long to do it.
 If the Health and Beauty writer is not right in the assertion, there can probably be only one good reason for the eX-president's change, namely, he must have been dancing the Tango with Woodrow, a fair presumption, as the latest issue of The Ladies World states that President Wilson's daugh- ters dance the Tango. in the White House And what an excellent part ner in that dance Taft would have been for a fellow as slim as Woodrow Two college men we'll mated.

WATCH YOUR STEP !!
OiIing The Curves.
BY THE CONDUCTOR

"D'y hear them car wheels shrielS when we went round that curve? l bet the oileT'H get a call down from tn thrack boss for that.
 Some days tn wheels squeal so bad you see people put their fingers in their ears. If them curves was greased right you'd never hear nothin'. Got to keep dope on 'em all tn time.
 Me an you an ev'rybody else is like them car wheels all tn time. Always goin' around curves. Nobody runs on a straight track all tn time. If they did t wouldn't be so hard to keep from shriel<in.
 You started downtown this mornin' with a chip on your shoulder. Look out! You ain't got your curves oiled. YoUll shriek sure. Some guy rubs you tn wrong way. jeek-e- e! You're shriekin'.
 First thing you do is to miss tn train you want. Won't be another along for forty seconds. Y'ain't mad are you? No, you ein't! Y'act like a billy goat ats had his whiskers pull ed You're goin' around curve an you ain't got your rails doped.
 By tn time you get to your office you been round so many curves shrielxin all tn time you could bite tn knob off door.
 That's why they's so many divorces in this country. Nobody rolls on a straight track an they don't put nc grease on tn curves.
 Lizzie don't stand for my shriekin around home any. If I slam tn door or go to throwin' bad words in tn air she says, "A little more oil there, Jerry" That girl is on to my curve
 "Peck's corner! Peck's corner!
 Look outl There's a curve here.
 Look where you step!"
