Tuesday.
Miss Wayne admitted. strange as
II may sound, that a small. inoffen-
sive. harmless kitten Is teaching her
10 vamp. There is nothing more
subtly alluring." said Miss Wayne
than h artistic siIken movement OF
a graceful kitten. I believe that Cleo
patra, a kitten. purchased when l
was home in California. embodies all
those elements in her walk which in
a woman we would call fascinating.
Thefe is the same velvet glide. tRe
same satiny ripple OF an alluring body
that Is supposed to make the vampire
OF the stage and screen irristible."

ASTOUNDING FIGURES

Further investigation into The
Times proposition that, rather than
a revolution in the present taxing
system of Kentucky, a single am-
endment be made providing for n
teH-cent per gallon tax on whisky
and one-cent per bushel tax on
coal, reveals most astounding fig
ures.
There were produced, last year
in Kentucky, 25,OOO,OOO tons of
coal. Reduced to exact figures, this
means 5O,OOO,OOO,OOO pounds, and
a yearly income to the State, at
one cent per bushel, of $6,250, 900
enough alone to extingtlish the State
debt, and still leave nearly $4,000
900 in the State treasury.
There were manufactured in Ken
