tibet in China and all through the old
world. People use this expression as
you would call Chinaman heath

of Japan he was reproved, a police
man was sent for, who visited the in

There are several pretty ways of
trimming the hair of little boys and
girls. and of managing that of larger
girls in way to take the best posi-
BILE care of it. But none of them is
quite SO popular as the bobbed hair,
which is equally pleasing on boys or
girls that are little, or the braided
hair for larger girls, as shown here.
Those who trim the locks of the lit
tie ones make some variations in the
bobbed haircut, to suit the individual.
Sometimes the bang is longer and
sometimes the hair at the sides, natu-
rally wavy or curly, is cut a little long
er SO that it curves about the ears.
Occasionally side part suits the style
of the youngsters face particularly
well, in which case the hair is
trimmed and trained to this style for
either boy OF girl.
On little girls from three to eight.
curls that hang almost to the Shout
ders and fringe Of rfnglets about the
face make out SO good case for
themselves. on the score OF becoming
ness. that they are always fashionable.
Then the hair bow Of ribbon begins
to MI the horizon OF the little miss.

and the matter OF fostering the growth
of her hair claims the attention of her
mother. The hair loosely braided and
wrapped about the head is as practical
and pretty as any arrangement for
the girl OF eight and upward, as can
be found.
Unless the little miss has hair OF
more than average length it will be
necessary to braid her ribbons in with
it, toward the ends OF the braids
This hairdress keeps the hair from be-

TIP PRESIDENT CAN BARE TAX
DODGERS NEWS TO CONGRESS
BY Gibson Gardner
Washington, May 10. - Nothing
has surprised members Of congress
more than the discovery by Basil
Manly that the present income tax
law contains a provision giving the
president of United States discretion
in the matter of making public in
come tax returns.
1t has been assumed that the law
very carefully provided for secrecy Of
such returns and that it was not pos
sibIe to make them public.
'The law does provide for this Sc
crecy under. severe penalties, includ-
ing Jail sentences, to be imposed for
the disclosure by government en-
plOyes of the names and amounts
paid by individuals, but all this Sc
crecy may, under the law, be swept
away, if, in his discretion, the pres
ident decides that publicity will re-
suit in a smaller measure of fraud
and more efficient enforcement of the
law.
Congress can perform no more
important service than to see that the
rich are paying their share of the
taxes" said Representative Heating,
further commenting on his resolu-
ton.
1t is shocking to think it possible
that S32O,OOOOOO has. been withheld
by the people most able to pay taxes
while congress has felt it necessary
to put an additional burden on the
poor mans table by retaining the tax
on sugar and other sO-Caled war
taxes.

DEFINING RELIGION

DEFINING RELIGION-Geo. Rog-
ers appears to be in a dilemma as
to what I mean by religion. The
dictionary interprets the word reli-
gion as follows: ANY system of
faith or worship; love and obedience
to God"
Whenever refer to religion mean
of course that stupid, WORKOUT dog
ma that is taught to children in
Christian Sunday schools to make
them loving and kind. That humane
and benevolent spirit of which you
seem possessed is just axactIy what
I'd like to see imbued in all mankind.
1t is to the pTOpagatOrs of this
creed that l pay the tribute Of my
admiration and respect. But why
misname it religion? That word
alone fills me with horror, for it
brings to mind the infinitely cruel
and barbarOus deeds committed in
its name. By establishing radical
Sunday schools I think the spirit of
universal brotherhood can be taught
to children unbiased by any sect or
dOctrine-Agnes Grundel.

Advocating the observance of the
Sabbath evinces an intOlerant spirit;
Sunday is no more sacred than Mon

The higher life is as natural as the

that mans experience is limited to

time, but it is horrible if workingmen
ask for an increase in wages.
Geo. Washington advised against
a third term. General Grant was re-
fused a third term? Is Roosevelt
greater than they? don't think so,
and I hope no one else does. If we
don't want Roosevelt it's time to get
busy and let our friends know it.
Talk about a One-man govern
ment! If Roosevelt wins it will sure
