main the house taxation bill so that

HIDING BEHIND BABY CRIBS
Out in the SHOW Me" country they
have dug up a trick to dodge selec-
tive service that seems to be about
the last word in un-Americanism.
In Kansas City some young men,
married but without children, have
proceeded to adopt babies to secure
dependents" in order to be able to
claim exemption.
This shows possession of high
imaginative power which ought to be
put to better use. However, the thing
that makes the matter really worth
discussing is that out of some mil
lions of men only four have been
found who have resoTted to such ex-
IRENE methods to avoid the honor Of
serving Uncle Sam and the cause q
democracy.
There is mighty little yellow" IN

From Nugent's Bulletin
March 18th

At the Wanamaker showing Of
Poiret models this week was seen q
novelty in separate skirts. It was
of black taffeta, and of the newest
barrel mode. In front was a little
bib (apron effect) suspended around
the neck by white cord. On the bib
and novel pockets were little motifs
of colored embroidery.
Another summer skirt seen at this
same showing was a combination OF
white washable gabardine and tan
linen The upper part Of the skirt Ito
the hip Ine) was of the linen and
upon it was stitched the skirt proper.
This was finished off with several
rows of stitching. A pocket at the
meeting of the two colors adds its
note of usefulness. Washable cords
passing over. the shoulders seem to
suspend the whole. .
See these models in our west win
dow tonight and Friday. r

daily for years to come as a never
failing source of delight. We cannot
insist too strongly on the intrinsic
never been produced and probably
of the greatest songs Of the nation,
selected by thousands of music
lovers, under circumstances that do
not happen more than once in life
time, render this book one of match
less merit. If any of our readers are
disappointed tomorrow. it will not be
our fault. We endeavored at the
outset to secure supply that SEEM

of everybody. But we frankly con-
TESS that we misunderstood the sit

actual craving that existed in this |
community for book of song. BY |

We therefore suggest that today's

AS A MAN THINKETH

A man passes for what he is worth.
What he is engraves itself on his
face, on his form, on his features, in
letters Of light. Concealment avails
him nothing; boasting nothing. Men
know not why they do not trust him !;
but they do not trust him. His vice
glasses his eye, cuts lines of mean ex-
preston in his cheek, pinches the
nose, and sets the mark of the beast
on the back of the head If you
would not be known to do anything,
never do it. A man may play the
fool in the drifts of desert, but ev-
cry grain of sand shall seem to see.
He may be a solitary eater, but he
cannot keep his foolish counsel. A
broken complexion, a swinsh look,
ungenerous acts, and the want Of due
knowledge-all Emerson.
