Taxes To Be Doubled, Says BIaIock

Atlanta. Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. A. o. Blalock announces that he
expects the taxes for the next year to
more than double those for this year,
which amounted to approximately
twenty million dollars. The collector
is preparing to take care of the in
creased returns by charging his office,
and he is now planning for this
change. The rooms of his department
on the second floor of the postoffice
building will be completely renovated
so as to provide more space. There
will be a number of additions to the
staff as well, all of whom must take
the civil service examination.

1t has become popular to econOmiZe
Or, at least, to persuade ourselves
that we are ecOnomiZing. You cannot
make observation of the new modes
without coming to the conclusion that
designers have taken this spirit of
the times into consideration and that
it has brought grist to their mills.
They have made combinations of mate
rails and combinations of garments al
most unheard of before. These com
binations are novel and unusual-and
alluring.
In tailored suits, for example, we
have wool fabrics combined with silk
or cotton. Since wool must be con-
served and life is not worth living

Sport apparel, now having become

the business of Quitting for the sea-
sons, has reached new developments.
These are in the directions of new re-
fnements Fabrics that were not in
the running for sports wear a season
or two ago, hold the center of the stage
today, without displacing the older
favorites.
In sports coats the spring brought in
sleeveless models in silk and in velvet
along with new long-sleeved coats in
both these materials. Velvet in sports
coats is an innovation, but 1t appears
made up in designs that leave no room
to doubt the purpose of the garment.

things in skirts. The result is so
fetching that many an unsuspecting
tailored skirt of wool is destined to find
itself joined for life to tunic of geor-

even farther and sponsors a union Of

too chic to need excuse for being il

Sister Is German Countess.
Mrs. Bradley Lee is a sister of the
beautiful Mary Lee, who married
Count Waldersee, former chief of the
German general staff. She was for
merly the intimate friend of the
kaiserin, and is rumored to have
taught religion to the kaiser" several
years before the war.
Mrs. Bradley Lee often visited her
titled sister in Berlin or Altoona be-
fore the war, and had a large ac-
quaintance in the German "army set"
among which Countess Waldersee
moved.
The German army under Won Kluck
occupied Chantilly, after Creil and
Senlis, during the first weeks of the
war, and German general and his
staff stopped in Mrs. Bradley Lees
chateau, doing no damage there, al
though the Rothschild estates and the
property of Duchess de Chartres, ad-
Joining were looted by the invaders.
This fact, together with the fact
that 1t was known that Mrs. Bradley
Lee had a sister married to a German
field marshal, caused considerable Cos
sip, and there have been many I'M
founded rumors current that the beau
tiful American woman who has OPP
Grated the hospital at Creil for so long

WAR AIDS GENERAL HEALTH
Sight of Sturdy Soldiers and Sailors
on the Streets Declared to Have
Had Good Effect.

An observing physician says that
the presence in New Yorks streets of
many soldiers and sailors has an indi-
rect effect on the health of civilians.
He believes that most persons become
initiative when they see one of Uncle
back and chest thrown out. The natur-
al result is deep breathing. and from
this comes improved digestion and cir
culation. thus causing better health.
The doctor called attention to the
fact that Poe in pointing out the psy-
Geological effect of one person on an
other in regard to acts and manner
isms said he could figure many
watching their actions. AS an illus
tration, Poe told of man hurrying

Of carriage causing an unconscious
effort at the instant the hunchback's
misfortune was flashed to the brain
Of the normal man.
Still another influence affecting the
general health Of the public, due to the
war, Is the increased number of patri-
otto men who have gone into training
after rejection by army or navy sur
geonS due to minor physical disability.
Others, too, have undergone lesser sur
gical operations, long neglected, so
that they might pass.

New Orleans. June 25.-A rise of al- most cent a pound resulted in cotton today from buying encouraged mainly bv the reports of further successes by the italians against the Austrians. The ah- serce of July tenders and hot and dry weather over Texas were additional buIi- ish features which helped put values higher.
 on the opening the market was ,p be- cause no July notices were reported. This was flrst notice day for the incoming spot month, and moderate volume of ten ders. at least. was expected In the early trading prices were about a dollar a hale up. The dry weather in Texas attracted attention, especially after the official forecast was posted, predicting continued falr weather for that state Around the middle of the morning the war reports commenced to be the most issportant fac
 tor in the trading and from then on [ to the close the demand for contra cts
 vas urgent. Highest levels showed net
 gains of 95 to 90 points; the close was 90 to @ up.
 A private condition report of ss.5 per cent of the normal. against SPA a month ago attracted considerable attention. but. while generally considered rather bear ish. it aroused no selling. Heavy short covering was a feature of the session.
