Bank Department in Victory.

The state banking department won
a victory in supreme court when the
order Of Milwaukee county circuit
court, denying the notion of Marshall
Cousins to vacate a contempt order
because the department had refused
to reveal official records to the Pereles
heirs, Milwaukee, was reversed.
The state also won in the inherit
ance cases OF the beneficiaries under
the wills of John III. Ebeling, Green
Bay, and N. r. Week, Stevens Point.
The states contention that federal
taxes are an expense of administra-
ton or a debt, and therefore not SUBJ
ject to deduction from inheritance
tax, was upheld in both cases.
In the Ebeling case, the states con-
tention was that gifts of money made
six years before death, even though
donor is in good health, must be re
garded as having been made in con-
temptation Of death and therefore not
subject to deduction.
The state profits by several thou
sands of dollars in both cases.

Washingfon,S Birthday
Supper Success

The Washington's birthday supper
held at the Simpson NJ. L. church FRI
day night was a great success. More
than 300 people attended. Cherry
trees were at each end of the platform
and ferns were near the windows
with pink apple blossoms twined
around the posts and window sills.
In the center of the platform was q
large fern. Owing to the illness o.
Mrs. Eggert the credit for these dec
orations is due to Mrs. Daniel Weber
and her committee.
The tables were decorated with
ferns and the effect of the entire
place was a spring orchard. The
Greary dismal rain outside was for
gotten in eating and listening to the
deeds of the Immortal George in an
orchard of his day" The orchestra
was lead by Daniel Weber and a great
deal of credit is due to them for their
excellent rendition of a number OF
pieces.
Star sand Stripes Forever and a
medley OF Southern Melodies" wera
sung by the quartet composed OF
Messrs. Peterson, Church.. Pierce and
Smith. Rev. Wilbert Westcott gave

2? Shall Women Smoke 2?

There is no reason at all why
women shouldn't smoke, If they want
to smoke. Cigarets, like coffee, soda
water or anything else may be over
done by women as well as men, but
cigarets in moderation are no more
harmful. unwomanly or morally dan
gerous TO the woman than they are
to h man..
This is the opinion of Theda Bara,
most famous screen vampire"

laughingly, that ] have been called
upon to smoke more cigarets in the
various character parts l hace play

And 1t hasn't hurt my health or my
voice, or even my moralsl
Seriously. though, 1 do think that
cigaret smoking by m is less
frowned upon now than it ever was.
We found tobacco absolutely neces-
sary at the front for u boys, and
the Y. NJ. c. A. has altered its atti-
tude toward smoking In its buildings.
II is n natural corollary that the Y.
w. G. A in England should be open
ing smoking rooms for young women
who have demanded IL. Women war
workers in England found the cigaret
a great comfort when under stress of
munition making, just as the men at
the front did.

ladies to make their WI smoke

he pleased with English language.
