Under the tariff law the duty was tQ be removed this year, but ow- ing to the immense shrinkage in rev enues due to the European war it has been decided to retain the duty in- stead of adding to the internal reye- nue taxes an amount to cover the loss of income which would ensue from the removal of the sugar duty.

solutely superb, lowered ribbons that are exceedingly picturesque and ribbons Tn every weave that is to be found in silk and striped ribbons thatshow won- derful and fascinating variety of color. There has indeed been put forth ribbon for every use. They are being very cleverly handled by designers of the greatest repute. That they be- long with organdie by natural right, every reader will recognize. One of the sweetest, daintiest summer gowns that has been shown is of sheer white organdie over the same material in sheel pink and on the lining are bands of silver ribbon, six on the straight gathered skirt and three on the little cape like wrap that is worn over the dainty blouse.
 Ribbons to give color effect, are used upon foundation skirts over which thin materials are draped and some times they are put on just to form straight bands, sometimes in a wave outline and sometimes in more ela- borate designs but always with a view to color. This is a season of effects and the note of color is all important. and ribbon seems to be the accepted material for bringing about many of the best results
 In a collection of imported models seen recently and which was reRlete with interest from many points of view, the various treatments of ribbon made an especial appeal. A gown designed as part of spring trousseau was made of blue and white striped taheta com bined with English eyelet embroidered muslin and blue velvet ribbon with plcot edges was used to outline the big, rolling collar extended quite to the waist line to pass around the waist and to form long ends that were looped and caught under the wide tuck of the tunic. Cotton and silk are being combined in various ways. A dainty gown of the same trousseau was of batiste and silk The skirt consisted of. three circular ruff1es of the batiste each hand embroidered and bound with blue taffeta with little blouse of the same and an over jacket of blue tafeta, finished with picot edges but worn with girdle of narrow velvet ribbon knotted at the back to form long straight ends.
 ' As; dainty a gown as could be sug- .gested is made with a skirt of ecfue batiste embroidery with a little coat like bodice of tan taffeta in marrow stripes. This tan taffeta bodice is finished at the edge of the open neck with two inch black velvet ribbons that is crossed at the front and passed under the arms to give the Empire line that is exceedingly becoming. Wherever one turns, wherever models are exploited. or wherever we'll dressed women are met, the various uses of ribbon are conspicuous. It may be ribbon used as girdle, it may be narrow ribbon passed around the waist or it may be as trimming. but it will be there in one form or another. A fascinating gown that is more than sug- gestive of the 1850 period at it's best fs of pale pink taffeta with velvet ribbon arranged around the lower edge of the

PROHIbI1I0NIS1S
 WILL HOLD THEIR
 CONVENTION SOON
Party Leaders Expect Fully 10000 Visitors at St. Paul
 Meeting.

The next national convention on the political calendar will be that of the Prohibition party, which will as- semble in St. Paul three weeks from next Tuesday to select candidates for president and vice president of the United States and to adopt platform for the approaching campaign.
 Several facts will combine to make the coming convention the most im- portant in the history of the party. Never before has the prohibition movement loomed up so strongly in this country as at the present time. In nearly a score of states general prohibition has been adopted, while in majority of the other common wealths large areas have been made "dry" by the local option laws.
 Within thA past few years the pro
 hibition movement has been openly endorsed by many national leaders of
 the two older political parties. Now the next Prohibition candidate for
 president may be a political leader of
 national reputation. The names of
 Governor Sulzer of New York and 4OI1llSI 1ONOAAO1 T Ooo O4 NA1oo0-
 chusetts are among those mentioned
 in connection with the nomination. The gathering in St. Paul next
 month will be the twelfth presidential
 nominating convention of the Prohibi-
 ton party. The first nominating con
 vention of the party was held at Co.,
 lumbus, Ohio, in 1872. The party's 1 growth in power and numbers since that year, when it's presidential can
 didate, James Black of Pennsylvania,
 boiled a vote of 5,607 in total of 6,466,246, is best evidenced by the
 number and strength of the organiza- tions formed to oppose the movement which has for it's chief object the re-
 straint of the liquor traffic.
 The national Prohibition party was organized at conference held in Chicago in 1869. Nineteen states were represented at the conference. James
 Black of Pennsylvania presided and
 Julius A. Spencer of Ohio served as secretary. Rev. John Russell of
 Michigan was elected chairman of the national committee.
 | As a result of the Chicago confer ence the first hationaE nominating
 convention of the party met at Co 1 lumbus. three years later, naming James Black of Pennsylvania for pres
 ;dent and Rev.sJohn Russe!! of M!ch!- gan for vice president. Fearing, per. kaps, the charge that 1t was paSty of oae .dea. .'.the p.4txto1rs was b-oad- e.ed to include civil! service; t::.a.ce,

HISTORY MADE THERE.
Territory Bordering on Hampton Roads, in Virginia, Scene of
 Many Stirring Events.

In no territory of like extent in the United States is more historical in- terest gathered than in that which borders Hampton roads, says the Ma tional Geographic magazine in de- scribing a unique picture which it publishes of Fort Monroe and Old Point Comfort.
 Here was planted the first English colony in America; here was held the first gathering of the peoples repre- sentatives to make their own laws; here were erected the first fortifica- tions in the English speaking New World; here were fought the land battle that terminated Americas War of Independence and the naval battle that revolutionized the warfare of the sea. The first Qualifications where Fort Monroe now stands were built 3O5 years ago, in 1911. Since that time, with short lapses, there has been some sort of fottification al- ways guarding the entrance to Ches apeake Bay.
 Rich in history, balmy in climate, charming in prospect, the Old Point region has entertained it's hundreds os thousands with Virginia hospitality.

grafton. This platform declared that should be elected directly by the peoo pie, and that suffrage should be granted to all without regard to sex.
 The platform adopted by the second convention, held at Cleveland in 1876, enlarged the scope of the party's eff forts for reform, touching on lotteries and stock and grain gambling, poly gamy. Sunday observance, interna- tlonal arbitration and modes of pun lshment. Twelve states were repre- sented at the convention which met in Cleveland in 1880. This convention adopted a platform dealing entirely with the liquor question, setting forth the evil results of its use upon the in- dividual, the family, society and the state. For more than 40 years the party has regularly held national conven- tions and as regularly nominated can didates for the offices of president and vice president, encouraged by a growing popular vote, though it has never received vote in the electoral collage. Nor has it strong hopes of doing so next November. But it is confident that it's candidates for vari- ous state legislatures throughout the country stand very good chance of being chosen. It even hopes to win some seats in the national lawmaking body. Even without representation such as would be afforded by men whom it had chosen, it has struggled hard and earnestly with congress, hoping that body would exercise it's power and limit the liquor trade be- tween states and in the District of Columbia, the territories and federal posts.
 The party leaders expect. that fully 10000 Visitors, ae not including more than 1000 delegates, will attend the St. Pau! convention.

Is Is a Year when Ribbons
 Predomlnate By May Manton

THERE is perhaps no feature of
 fashions that strikes one with
 greater force than the very many uses to which ribbon is put and it's fascinating varities. That ribbon should be extensively used during a season which reverts, to great extent
 to the 1850 period is of course fore gone conclusion, but nevertheless, many of the trimmings and treatments are distinctly our own and this might be called a ribbon season in realistic sense. We not alone are using ribbon for banding and for trimming of various kinds, it is employed to give the color note where the color note is wanted and in many instances it is made into entire garments. Some of the most attractive coats for out of town wear are entirely of broad ribbon of the Dolly Warden order. Stripes : ten inches in width are chosen and they are joined one to the other to make the width required for the garment.

 One of the prettiest morning gowns that has been shown is of striped linen, pink and white, combined with white swiss embroidery and the bodice is finished with bow and bands of black velvet ribbon which greatly accentuates the color scheme. Not always the wide girdle by any means but the girdle that consists of two bands of narrow ribbon is used and some of the girdle effects that are produced in the latter way are more becoming than the wide ones that sometimes are little clumsy in their folds.

FEW IN FRANCE
 PAY INCOME TAX

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 Paris, June 20.-Under the new in come tax, 336,OOO persons have made declarations, but only 163,107 of them were of amounts that exceed the exempt limit. The total of the rev enues declared was 2,949,OOO,OOO francs and with all deductions made for family dependents, etc., the two per cent on the taxable portion of the incomes declared will be only about 22 million francs. It was estimated when the law was enacted that it would produce about forty million francs revenue to the state.
 By categories the taxable incomes declared were:
 5000 to 10000 francs 1925 10000 to 15,000 francs .38,128 15,OO0 to 10000 francs 16,989 10000 to 25.OOO francs ............ 9,155 More than 25,OO0 francs ,.....22,O ,O1O
 M. Ribot, minister of finance, in his new financial scheme proposes to increase the tax from two to five per cent, which would bring the revenue up to about 55,OOO,OOO francs on the declared incomes. There is no basis for approximating the additional amount that will be derived from the arbitrary taxation of persons who have neglected to declare their in- comes.
 From M. Ribot's expose of results to the appropriations committee of the chamber, it appears that ninety per cent of the total income tax will be paid by only 60,000 persons, or one and half per cent of the popu- lation; one per cent, only, of the popu- lation will pay eighty per cent of tho tay
