new sport costumes are more man.

tailored wear in many long day
perhaps for this very reason they have
taken hold of feminine imagination,
albeit their practical qualities are so
admirable.
The regulation sport suit, as turned
out by the clever tailor, takes ten
years off womans age, for it has about
1t breezy, knowing air and the very
severity of its tailored lines adds to
its saucy coquetry. Its skirt is in cir.
cular, or ripple cut, swinging clear OF
the ankle and revealing the foot in its
dainty buttoned boot, or laced tramping
boot quite frankly anG at either hip are
long buttoned pockets into which its
wearer may thrust her hands, exactly
In the manner of her brother or her
spouse-for not only the young, un'
married women affect these sporty
suits by any means. The coat is in
belted Norfolk style-the new Norfolk
with a deep yoke, and, of course, it.
also, has buttoned patch pockets. The
very simplicity of line, combined with
excessively smart tailoring give these
costumes an individual and distin
guished air. They are built of soft
tan color and the women who are or
dering them for country wear are or
dering also tailored blouses of striped
or plain pussy willow silk with high
turnover collars, and notched skir'
tails to tuck inside the skirt belt.

other as in a spelling match. When
everyone is ready, the hostess throws
an old felt hat on the floor between
the rows. If it falls crown up all the
players in the line on the left must
begin to laugh as heartily as possible
If anyone in the opposite line laughs
or even smiles, he must go over to the
other side. In three minutes the hat
is thrown again, and if it falls with
the brim up, the right line must laugh
and try to win back the players they

NEED OF A SCHOOL TAX

sive machine and therefore SURE
and ample sources Of revenue are
as necessary to it as b.ood IS to the
human body. The expenses must
be met or the government Will cease
to exist and if they are only partial
ly met, the strength and power Of
government will be impaired, leav-
ing it weaklins.
Taxation is a necessity although
very often and generally considered
a burden. 1t is true to some extent
that the school tax payers will re-
ceiye no immediate return for their
taxes. but they will have constant
return in better citizens, unseltiiSh
love. better character and we'll train
ed young men and women.
By means of taxes each man bears
his part of the cost Of maintaining
a school system. He gives a small
portion of his property in order that
he may enjoy blessings that would
otherwise be impossible 1t is safe
to say that every tax payer will re-
ceive directly or indirectly from the
school government more than ne
will contribute by taxation.
The citizens OF a community are
to some extent responsible for the
record of the comlnunity's children
as citizens. To be good citizens
they must be intelligent, and to be
intelligent, they must attend school,
therefore, if the citizens do not sup

Justice. The fathers and mothers
j. who deprive their children of an
opportunity Of acquiring an educat-
ion do them lasting injury. We
; should unite in one stand in our
efforts to improve our schools, and
as taxation is regarded as the
highest function Of any government
|, we shout levy taxes sufficient to
e maintain the best.
i The future destiny of our state
!, and nation depends upon the rising
generation. and if we do not have
the proper schools they will not be
fitted to bear the responsibilities:

STARVED INTO GOODNESS.
Why Crime 10 Rare Among the Caribs
Of South America.

Why Crime Is Rare Among the Caribs
Of South America.
In the whole wide world there is not
Il class Of people to be found who in
f1ict severer punishment upon them
selves than the Caribs Of Contra,
America.
Their religion. which is one Of the
most peculiar kind, demands self pun
lshment for sins Intentionally or unin
tentiOnally committed. The punish.
ment takes the form of starvation and
close confinement.
II the sin be in the form of q lie, no
matter whether it is calculated to in
1ure another or not, the sinner goes
without either food or drink for three
days. at the end of which it is believed
that the offender has paid the penalty
for his or her sin. disappearing and
using bad language are punishable by
absolute starvation for two days. A.
sault. drunkenness and other serious
sins call for four days starvation for
one week. three days starvation for
the second week, two days starvation
for the third week and one days star
vation in the fourth week.
All sins are punished with starva
ton. For that reason crime is very
low among the Caribs. who are among
the best behaved and most truthful
people in the world. London Tele

WORK AND the EYES,

importance q Having the Light Come
From the Left Side.
The widely known fact that, when
using the eyes for any near work, the
illumination should come from the left
side rather than the right is often dis.
regarded. Let any n who considers
the matter of little importance once
demonstrate to himself the difference.
and he will never forget it.
Take a pencil and paper and try to
write while in such a position that the
light will fall from the right side. The
shadow of the hand or pencil or both
is thrown on the paper in such a way
as partly to cover the characters one
Is making. This necessitates a closer
viewpoint and a conscious strain on
the eyes.
Now let the position of the writer he
reversed so that the light falls on the
work from the left side. He will no
tlce that the shadows fall away from
the work he is doing and leaves the

change he cannot help but notice the
