distinct success. Philadelphia can boast OF having
the best boxing auditorium in the United States ana
some of the globe trotters say it is the best in tn"

nine is used and these strengthened by slender
steel cables which attached to the balconies There is
an air of refinement which seldom experiences IN
an ordinary fight club The huge building is taste

whole hearted support from all Philadelphians.

CHURCHMEN ARE
SHOCKED At NUDE
STYLES Of WOMEN
10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wesI

London, Jan. 11.--Cardinal Annette
few days ago, in a pastoral letter,
denounced the abbreviated garments
for women popularized by Partisan
fashions. Father Bernard Vaughan.
of London, who in the past has said
many hard things of the follies and
eXtravagances of the rich, has now,
in an interview, followed the Cardi-
nars example He said:
when I ask myself what is in
spring this tendency to nudity in
women's modern costume my answer
is it cannot be a rightful desire to
promote the health of our debutantes
because today's want of clothes is
savagely exposing them to consump-
tion and its kindred ailments, not by
hundreds but thousands. So | am as
sured by competent authority. Our
girls who ought to live to a ripe old
age droop, drop and die like flowers
unfed by warmth and sunshine. I'M
properly fed and immodestly dressed
they defy all the. laws of hygiene and
down they go.
"Nor can the object in prevailing
fashions be a love of the true and
the beautiful, for never did fashions
as they do today so grievously initiate
against the canons of good taste and
the laws of symmetry
Il cannot but arrive at the conclus-
ion that today's fashions are designed
and cut not to drape the human fig
ure and keep it warm, beautiful and
comfortable, but on the contrary, it
would seem that today's so-called cos
tunes are created with the set pur-
pose of awakening in man unhely de-
SlreS and perhaps of tanning into
fever flame those already kindled.
How such conduct can be defend
ed 1t is impossible for me as a Chris
tian man to conjecture. Personally /
feel quite sure that studied immod-
esty on the part of girls defeats it's
own ends. A decent man who intends
to marry girl and make her the
queen of his heart and the mistress
of his home is not going to choose for
his partner till death do them part
a girl who has so little respect she
does not even know how to clothe
herself in decency."

MILLIONAIRE s LOT
IN GE ERMANY NOW
DIFFICULT ONE

Berlin Jan, 1.-THE lot of the
multi millionaire in Germany will be
a hard one under the new emergency
levy and income and inheritance
taxes. DIR. Felix Pinner, financial
writer of the Berlin Tageblatt esti
mates that under these taxes a Ger
man Industrial fortune of 100000
marks would be reduced by 1925 10
3,114,000 marks. This would mean
that the state had taken nearly 1900
600 marks by various forms of taxa
tion designed to solve the tremendous
financial problem which Germany
faces OF the amount so collected by
the state DR.. Pinner estimates that
2,S27,900 marks would be taken as
taxes on war profits, while the emerg
ency levy would take 2,737,000 marks
This would leave the millionaire about
100000 marks at the end of the
thirty-year period in which this levy
would he collected.
DR.. Pinner points out, however,
that the older industrial leaders who
own most of the German industries,
probably would die in the first ten
years of the thirty-year period,
whereupon that part of the levy then
remaining unpaid would be taken by
the, state.
If the owner of this fortune were to
die, say in 1925 and should leave but
one son, the son would have to pay to
the state as inheritance tax 1880
marks The balance after all taxa
tlon had been completed is placed by
Dr. Pinner at 3.1l4,000 marks which
the family of the industrial leader
would have left to continue their bus
mess
The Tageblatts commentator points
out that this would be insufficient to
continue an industry which in peace
times had required capital of 7000-
900. and that this operation would
weaken the productive power of in
dustrial concerns by ovcr-severe
liquidation of their wealth. THE high
capital taxes will saw off the limb
upon which income and industrial
taxes should Sit" concludes DR.. Pin
ner.

She Will be at that time one of the

The Tennessee will carry twelve IA

Admiral Sims has said: There is

clared in a statement tonight. setting
forth the government financial con-
6ition. If the present tax level Is re-
tanned and new expenditures are kept
down, the turn has come in the tide
of government financing, the secre-

Although further issues of treasury
certificates of Indebtedness may be eN-
pected, they will be redeemed from
cash on hand rather than through
the sale of new issues of certificates
for the first time since late in 1917.
AS indicative of progress made by

ductions between September l and

and in the two classes Of certificates
of Indebtedness outstanding. The
