GERMANS FACE WORST CRISIS
 SINCE DEFEAT
By Harold E. BechtoI

BERLIN, Dec. 12.-The individual German has not begun to feel the peace terms, financially.
 During the war the Germans have been loaring the money to the govern ment. Next year they will begin tO give it.
 There will be an estate tax which will be graduated as to size and as to relationship. It will impose the heav- fest tax on the largest inheritance from the most distant relative.
 A peculiar feature of this law, illus trating it's severity, Is a provision that in no case may the tax exceed the amount of the inheritance taxed. No mean cousin can leave spite money" which would compel the recipient to pay more than he got anyhow
 An income tax ranges up to about 70 per cent as the income grows.
 There is to be a profits tax and a heavy tax on wealth increases during the war-to get the profiteers-the usual taxes for revenue, heavier than ever, and capitol levy is now being considered.
 With food. coal and clothing short, they are bound to add to the discon- tent. AgitatOrs will make the most of the crisis.
 But Germany has weathered two crises as serious. In the most diffi- cult months just after the surrender a year ago; and the peace conference period this year when she woke up, as loser, to the terms.
 Smuggling and underground dealing in food adds to the unrest of the work ing people.
 Fats, oils, clothes, milk for babies and other necessities are scarce and so high priced that the poorer people can hardly afford them at all; yet the shop windows along Unter der Linden are full of beautiful goods.
 Housing conditions pinch despite the fact that Berlin and other cities have less population than before the war.
 Every candy store window in Berlin has q crowd before 1t all day long Adults, as well as children, stand and stare at the displays of sweets.
 Movies-most of them immoral-are always crowded. Twelve new moving picture houses are to be erected. The most popular films are those "on the ragged edge"
 Theaters are crowded, and so is the opera, as rule.

cARRANZA's SUCCESSOR

Americans interested in facts about the leading candidates to succeed President Carranza as president of Mexico should investigate the records of Generals Obregon and Gonzales.
 These men are leading candidates for president of Mexico. They have their campaigns well under way. The election is scheduled to be held next July. Both have been all powerful in Mexico City for a time.
 Obregon was provisional president for short time. Pablo Gonzales was military governor of the federal dis trict under CarranZa-
 In the minds of Americans who lived through the regime of Obregon in Mexico City two prime actions of his stand out. First, he proclaimed that all property belonged to the people and invited them to help themselves to anything they wanted. This re- suited in the footing of stores owned by Mexicans and Spaniards. But the mobs thus encouraged by Obregon did not have the nerve to loot the stores of foreigners.
 Obregon's next offense in the eyes of American residents of Mexico was his open encouragement to his soldiers
 
 hospital in the heart of the city, upset the cots of patients. defiled the whole building and perpetrated other bar barrie acts which resulted in the American Red Cross withdrawing from the republic.
 Pablo Gonzales, who possessed of an American wife, American relatives and a wide knowledge of American customs, proved humane and pacify- ing military ruler. He suppressed anti-gringo talk. punished sporadic looters and rid the army as fast as possible of out-and-out grafters.
 This record should be kept in mind by all people interested in seeing Mex leo under a wise ruler who will do all reasonable things to promote a better understanding between Mexico and the United States.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali, which is very injurious,
as it dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex-
pensive soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about teaspoon
full is all that is required. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath-
.er, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and is soft, fresh look
ing, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt
and dandruff.-Adv.

COP SUSPENDED
+. 30 DAYS IN CASE
OF REV. J. ROACH
City Commissioners Find That
Policeman Woods is Guilty
on Charge of "COnduCt
UnbeCOming Officer"

Policeman N. D. Woods was sus-
pended for 80 days after a hearing
before city council yesterday on
the charge of conduct unbecomilE
an officer" and using profane Ian
guage" in the police station in con-
nection with the arrest of Rev.
Jeremiah Roach on January 7.
Rev. Father Roach was taken from
train at the Union station while
enroute from Denver to Peoria, Ill.
AT the police station it could not be
determined at first whether he was
intoxicated or i'll. He occupied
cell until evening. when Police Sur
geon Edstrom diagnosed his case as
paresis and he was sent to St. Jo-
seph's hospital
Make Thorough Probe.
The conduct and language at
tributed to Officer Woods was al
legged to have been used on January
and 8. A complete investigation,
with many afidavits from witnesses,
was made by Police Commissioner
Ringer, and at that time there was
strong sentiment in council for the
officers dismissal.
Sitting of the evidence at the
hearing showed that Officer Woods
had merely demonstrated with
Father Roach because he thought
him intoxicated. Desk Sergeant
Rose testified that Woods said:
Any man, no matter whether he is
a Catholic priest, a Methodist min
ister or a Presbyterian, or any
other clergyman, who falls so low
as to get intoxicated isn't fit to min
ister to a congregation"
Turnkey Trap testified that OF
heer Woods used profanity in
speaking of the case. Sergeant Nor
ris said that he did not hear Woods
use any profanity.
Admits Profane Word.
Woods himself, taking the stand
admitted that he used one profane
word in speaking of the priest, but
not in the presence of the priest
Assistant Chief of Police Demp-
sew, Captains Heidfeldt and Pat
tullo testified that Officer Woods
has good record during his II
years of service.
Police Commissioner Ringer, at
the end of the hearing, recon-
mended that Woods be suspended
for 80 days,
Says Morale Better.
"I make this recommendation as
a warning that such language must
stop in the police station" he said.
1--WE are raising the morale of the
force right along. Putting women
telephone operators down there has
helped a lot in this respect and the
morale is rising rapidly, and we
want to put a complete stop to loose
talk Of this kind in the station"
Commissioner Zimman declared
that much more severe measures
should be taken and that Officer
Woods should be dismissed. Conf
missioner Butler took the same
view, while Commissioner IRE asked
that the suspension be for only IS
days. The vote was 5 to ? for the
30-day euS, 2eusion.
