That mining companies of the
State tend to red uce taxation is
evidenced by the recent report
of the State Board of Eqnaliza-
ton. This report shows that
four fifths Of the States money
is derived from mines. The low
ering of the taX rate to 80 cents
on 500 was made possible by
increased valua ton of mines,
which valuation is the result Of
increased production. Without
mines, and to keep the State

of pursuit, was about fifty PAGES in

at the door, which was opened almost
Immediately.
Mark heard subdued scream, and
then the mans voice in angry alterca-
ton.
He was talking to the woman who
had opened the door. She looked
about five and thirty years of age. and
her face, distinctly visible against the
light in the hall, was well-bred, if not
attractive. She seemed one of those
cosmopolitans who frequent the CAPT.

her house was one of those residences
that are still occupied in this district
by the original owners, or whether she
was the mistress of one of those gam
bling establishments that flourish of
necessity along the avenues of the
earlier alphabet.
The man seemed to be pleading with
her, his gestures were growing fran
tic. He looked about five and forty
years of age; his face struck Mark
with certain odd familiarity. though
he had never seen him closely before.

In the shops devoted to children's
clothes 1t Is apparent that even small
girls are more likely to go often in silk
attire than in pre-war days. Frocks
Of crepe de chine and taffeta are taken
as matter of course in QUILTING the

infringing on the territory Of cotton
fabrics so rapidly that we will soon
consider them together when the time
comes for selecting goods for many
kinds of garments. The immense ad-
vance in the price of cottOns will help
along this demand for silks.
For everyday wear, chambrays and
ginghams, along with some new weaves
In heavy cottons, are still the best lik-
ed materials. In pink, blue, yellow and
green, the chambrays are made up with
white cotton poplin collars and belts

lingerie collars, for girls from two to
