LEGS

Legs are convenient attachments
used by human beings to climb street
cars, elevators. automobiles and
other modes OF transportation. Al
other times we just let them dangle
from our waistlines.
Legs originally were designed in
pairs, for human beings to get around
on. But we've outgrown them. The
only really useful leg today is the
leg OF ham or the leg OF mutton.
Legs still constitute the only real
excuse for burlesque shows, OF course (;
and they're an aid in kicking cats
and unwelcome suitOrs. But as
things TO walk on. We keep them
only for emergencies.
This applies only TO human beings.
With horses. cows, pigs and like ami
mails it's different. They still have
use for a leg on each corner.
There is only one valid argument
I'm favor OF legs. If we didn't have
them, what would we do with our
feet?

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
From the Dover State News.
The State News has received from
Mrs. Charles NJ. Curtis. president OF
the Board OF Managers Of the Della
ware Industrial School for Girls. A
copy of letter which has been sent
to each member OF the Delaware
General Assembly for the purpose OF
acquainting them with the work that
is being accomplished by that insti-
tuition and its financial needs at that
institution and It's financial needs at
this time. At the present time the
State apprOpriates So 200 annually for
the maintenance OF the Delaware In
dustrial School for Girls, and the
Board of Managers requests that, I'm
view OF the increased cost of living
and OF other requirements, this
amount be increased TO $4,000.
The work accomplished by this In
stitutiOn is of such an excellent ma.
ture that we cannot conceive how
there can be any objection to grant.
ing the request OF the Board. In fact
we consider the request for an in
crease Of only $4,000 a year to be an
extremely modest one, in view Of the
circumstances, and we opine that the
Legislature will not let the lack OF
such sum handicap the management
Of the school
The letter sent out by Mrs Curtii
points out that during it's existencs
the school has cared for 32s girls
from all parts Of the State, and at
the present time II girls arc In the
institution, ten from Kent county. sew

These figures call attention in a
striking manner to the increasing
proportion OF railway expenses which
is represented in recent years by tax
alton. They also show that a large
part Of the increase in percentage has
taken place since 1906. In fact, for
a few years, beginning In the stalls
tics presented with 1897. there was a
decrease in the ratio borne to rev.
enues by the amount Of taxes. For
the following years up % and includ-
ing 1916 the percentage represented
by taxation remained. with compare
lively small fluctuation from year to
year. on substantial level. But since
1906 there has been an almost steady
increase until the tendency received
a check by reason OF the abnormal
revenues OF 1915.
1T cannot. Of course. fairly be said
that this constant Increase since 1905
in the proportion Of railway earn
ings that has been paid out in taxes
has been due directly to the system
OF regulation inaugurated under the
Hepburn law which went into effect
In that year. The International Com
merce Commission is not responsible
for the amount Of taxes levied nor
for the increase in this amount from
year to year. But the increase in
taxes is plainly a manifestation Of
the general tendency Of public regu-
lation since 1915 and Of the State
Governments to assume an apprecl-
able share in the regulation OF rail-
ways even 10 the extent OF putting
upon them an unwarranted burden OF
taxation"

MAXWELL IDEALS
HAVE Been ATTAINED
Light Weight, Attractive Car
al Low Operating Cost
Was Object Sought

To build motor ear Of nght Welght,
attractive appearance and low operat-
ing cost: TO equip it with every device
for comfort and convenience; through
out to instill a value and character
that we could be proud to endorse with
our name and reputation; and to offer
such a motor ear at price made pos
siblc only by scientific manufacturing
and a great volume Of business.
This ideal, conceived almost thirteen
years ago. has been the guiding influ-
ence in the destiny of our institution.
Its soundness is established by our sue
cess and the great good will earned by
the Maxwell ear.
Walter =. Flanders. President.
This ear represents an ideal; it. rs
the attainment of an objeetive-to SET
Il a new mark in the fast moving auto
mobile industry.
The men who make up the Maxwell
Organization are all Of long experience
i-successful experience, too; they be
lheved they could attain their ideal
They were willing to back II wi h mil

that not only is the ear right-but th'
Maxwell company and its policies arr
ALSO right-Qnd therefore permanent,
It is a definite point of Maxwell
policy to concentrate on a single mode
and devote every effort and resource
toward the development and refine
ment of this one car. This policy in
sures to the purchaser not only great
er value per dollar of his investment
but it also protects him against tn
abnormal depreciation caused by tn
frequent introduction of new or supe'
ficially more attractive models-a pra
tee which is quite prevalent in tn
automobile industry.

for--then the price will be all the NOR
