snow, which began falling In the Cas-

Of irritation at the laws complex

OF course the law still has eccen-
tricities. When man buys q bond
for $1,000 and sells for S1100, he is
taxed for his profit. When he buys
for $1,000 and sells for 5000. he cant
deduct his loss. Says Uncle Sam:

The proceeds under the new law
have been lower than was generally
expected. 1t raises the question whe>
ther fair returns are being made.
Tax laws have been evaded from
time immemorial. 1t Is not likely
that the new statute created more
honesty than previously existed.
Many OF the state laws have been
made or enforced on the theory that
falsehoods would be told anyway. II

The income tax payers will feel
better to lay his cards down on the
table and pay accordingly. There
ought to be new view point about
taxes. 1t is time for a gentleman's
agreement between the law making
power and the property owner. A
tax should be debt OF honor. Leg
islatures and Congress should make
a more serious effort to have taxes

FIFTY YEARS WORK
FOR GIRLS

The so years work of the Young
Women's Christian Association has
just been recognized by anniversary
doings. Social work for girls has
not been as expensive as that for
men and boys. The latter, to sue.
coed on any large scale, takes very
large sums of money. 1t has to COM
pete with a hundred dazzling resorts
and amusements. There must be
gyms, swimming pools, usually bill
lizards, pool and other games. The
location must be strategic and en-
pensive.
Boys and young men are lords Of
creation. They feel that they are
comforting a favor when they use
quarters provided for them by phil
anthropy, which must compare with
any social club to suit their high
mightinesses.
Girls and young women do not de-
mand so much. The majority OF the
Young Womens Christian Associa'
lions and girls clubs have succeeded
without large expense for athletic
equipment.
Modern industrial life brings many
a lonely girl into towns and cities.
Drawn by some opportunity of self

munity is through her office ties,
These may convey no suitable social
invitation. She needs place where

There are pretences and shams in
the rug trade which people should
have been paying high prices with
out getting what they supposed. The
craze for Oriental rugs, the notion
that they are necessary for artistic
house interiors, has upset many
thrifty plans of economy.
Formerly Oriental rug making was
ir the hands of people having a well
trained sense for beauty of color and
appropriateness of design. As the
market was artincially stimulated
from this country, the majority OF
Old world rug makers commercializ'
ed their business. They turned out
more hasty product, bought RUGS
regardless of merit to FIJI the eager
demand. Anything went, at big
price too. The Oriental colors are
usually good, but in design a great
many Of the rugs are coarse and gro
tes0ue. And today many American
makers are initiating their faults OF
boll and staring design, without be
ing able to copy their beauty of col
orings.
II Is amusing to see lot OF the
newly rich come rolling down TO the
biz city emporiums. buying these
costly fabrics right and left. They
return rejoicing, believing they have

and tawdry. Frequently they are IN

KEEPING CHILDREN
IN SCHOOL

AS the school year draws to its
close, many of the older children be-
come anxious to quit study and &C
to work. This Is not for the pur-
pose of acquiring a bank account.
Nor is II often a desire to assist in
family support. Principally It Is the
longing for pocket money, for candy,
picture shows, etc. The boy who
has gone to "cierking," and can bold
ly with his own money line up q
bunch OF girls to an ice cream soda
counter, is the particular hero Of
this period.
II is enough to make a teacher
heartsick to see the children that
drop out with the education finish
ed They don't know the rudiments
of American citizenship They have
not enough arithmetic to make
change at candy counter. They
have no manual skill. For years,
perhaps always, they must dig ditch
es and sweep floors. These are hon
orable tasks. If well done. But thoy
provide no solid basis for advance
ment. for growth in intelligence, and
the education OF the next generation.
The educator who can think up a
scheme to keep these restless young
sters in school is benefactor to
his community and the state. AMI
his work usually gets the recognition
of good salary. He Is scarce.
One high school principal whose
work is widely known, makes athlet-
les compulsory. The dull boy has
his place on the class team to ee-
fend. That atones for some short.
age of pennies. The parents will
usually go hungry to keep them go.
ing. 1t is tough on them, but it pays
infinitely. Work on school gardens
or with tools keeps boys in line in
many places. The boy who is ac-
uuiring real skill with lathe thinks
twice before taking a job as floor
sweeper.
The teacher will have to come
down to some plain and practical
TAX about dollars and cents. She
should show that graduation at the
seventh grade means the shovel gang
while the high school means chance
for the bank ana the business office.
