Paris, Jan. 24.-With the most vi
tai questions of publicity, the league
OF nations and Russia's future con-
tinue TO engage the attention of the
delegates, politicians and publicsts Of
all countries at the peace council
there is a steady increase in the num-
Der and variety of the propagandists
preparing to descend on ting confer
ence.
The most recent addition to the
unique ensemble of uplifters-which
includes advocates to restore Africa
to the colored race, Sim Feiners and
Russian revolutionists-is the Amer
lean Aatisaloo league. Encouraged
by the rapid spread of bone dry" SEN
timent in America, the leaders in the
movement have sent a delegation to
Paris, headed by Bishops Cannon,
Hughes and Henderson of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, to urge upon
the conference the adoption of a pol
icy of worldwide prohibition.
Hope for Wilson'S Aid.
Col. l.. b. Musgrave, business repre-
sentative of the Anti-saloon league,
with long record of victories at
home has reached Paris to carry on
the work, The delegation is depending
upon President Wilson to propose to
the peace conference the abolition of
the manufacture and use of alcohol
throughout the world Their chief ar
sument in favor of such a prospect is
Mr., Wilson's action in siging the laws
recently passed by congress that have
operated to stimulate the successful
efforts of the advocates of the bone
dry" movement.
The mission of American drys has
provoked q great deal of interest and
considerable amusement among Eu-
ropean politicians, who decline to
view seriously the suggestion that the
peace congress will undertake to die
tate matters of purely national and
domestic concern in the countries par
ticipating in the conference.
Members of the American eXpedi-
tionary forces are generally outspoken
in denunciation of the scheme. The
action of the American congress, state
legislatures and dry leaders in both
parties in imposing the ''bone dry
law on the country during the alb
sence of the fighting men has occa-
stoned intense Indignation among
them.

HOOKED NEAR MIAMI

Miami, June 12.-Another deep sea
monster of the fish family has been
caught here by DR.. n. Schlegel and
the Roberts brothers of Cape Sable,
measuring 81 feet and being six feet
through the body. DR.. Schlegel ar
rived in Miami this morning for help
and Captain Charles Thompson has
gone to the scene where the fish has
been killed. 1t is thought It will
weigh more than twenty thousand
pounds. It is not as large as the big
fish caught here in 1912 by Capt
Thompson.
DR.. Schlegel and Messrs. Roberts
were out in boat Sunday afternoon
when they sighted what they thought
was huge piece Of wreckage or log
They drew near and found it to bt
this enormous fish. They pumped
ninety-two steel bullets into 1t before
it was killed. II would have escaped

officials, and said that the clerk did
not ascertain the name Of the pur-
chaser but if seen again could iden-
tify him. This forenoon James Rice,
a negro man, was placed under ar
rest, and acknowledged he bought
the clothes, but claimed that he got
the money from one Of the banks
here. His room was searched, and a
number of discriminating things were
found. The negro worked next door
to the Chinese for plumbing estab-
lishment, and it is believed that the
hammer with which the bloody deed
was done belonged to the plumbing
establishment The officers are al.
most positive that the right man is

SECOND PAYMENT OF INCOME
TAX Is DUE MIDDLE OF MONTH

Jacksonville, Fla, June 12.--(Spe-
ciaD-Those who took advantage OF
the opportunity offered by the gov
ernment to pay their income tax In
.nstallment Of rs per cent, are re.
minded that as the first payment Of
rs per cent was made in March the
second installment of rs per cent
falls due on June Is and must be in
the hands Of the collector by that
time. The burden of keeping track
of these payments is upon the tax
payer.
Collector James M. Cathcart. Of the
internal revenue service stated yes
terday that while notices had been
sent out to those who were paying
their income tax in installments 1t
might be that there are number who
for some reason or another may not
have received their notices and that
they are therefore reminded of the
fact that the middle of this month is
the time limit for the payment Of the
second installment of their income
tax.
This arrangement has been most
satisfactory one for many and also q
great convenience to these payers Of
income tax. The work OF the depart
ment will be all the more facilitated
If these payments are sent to the col
,ector before the middle Of the month
The failure to pay the installment
calls for a penalty the same as neg
lect to pay the income tax when du'
last March. The payments heretofore
have been made quite promptly an,
the sending of the installments will
1t is expected, follow the same prece

WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY
(By Edith Moriarity.)


It was not SO very long ago that
every girl who had sung song or
spoken a piece at church entertain
ment thought that her life would be
complete if she went on the stage and
made a name for herself. And more
recently still the young maids OF the
country have turned toward the cam
era and hoped that some day some
director would find in them that per-
feet camera face and then they would
become the idol of the movie fans"
But 1t would seem that even the pho-
toplay is losing in popularity and an
other more serious field is being en-
tered Even society women who many
wears ago spent all their time trying
TO outdo their neighbors in dress and
,avish display of wealth and 10
climbing to the pinnacles of the "fouI
hundred" even these women are
| striving for a very different kind o.
honor and position in these days.

,ure may dream of being president
or senator just as little boys have al
ways done and they may forget thei
dreams of stage and society in the al
absorbing idea of being their city
mayor.
