Big Drop in Hide Prices,
But Shoes Remain High

New York. Jan. Hide prices have
dropped from . to 10 per cent, dc-
cording to an Omaha dispatch re-
Ceived here today. but the cost of
shoes will be unaffected until next
winter. 1t was stated by an officer Of
the Central Leather Company. He
said:
THE average citizen fails to grasp
the delay necessary before any re-
duction in hides is reflected in the
price of shoes in the shop window.
Shoes now being manufactured are
all based on the excessively high
prices paid some months ago for hides
and not on today's market price"

OPINION UPHELD
 ON TAX RETURNS

Following requests for information as to the disposition of the returns from the special three-mill school tax in tha. section of the city of Fairfield which was formerly a part of Bir- rIingham, the city legal department held that the money shall go to Bir- ningham.
 The opinion of the legal department has been upheld by the attorney gem e~al of Alabama.
 The opinion of the city attorney is based on the fact that though the leg isiature of 1919 changed the boun daries of Birmingham and Fairfield, g,ving to the latter town land that was formerly within the corporate limits of Birmingham. the original school district of Birmingham re- mained unchanged and that this land was in the school district Of Brming ham.
 The question was raised by the spe- cial tax agent of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, who asked Dr. N F. Baker, county superintendent of
  asked Dr. Barrett, chairman of the city board of education, who referred the r,atter to the city legal department.
 The legal department held that that section of Fairfield that was formerly in Birmingham was still in Birming- hams school district and subject to Brminghams school tax. It also held that if there were any schools in that section of Fairfield that they should ,i,,er rtay at1d should be cared for by her one of her schools.

The Handsomest of the Rat Family If good looks count, remember that
 There's beauty even in Rat.

Now" said Old Mother Nature, we come to the handsomest member of the entire rat family, and he is truly handsome. He is Longfoot the Kanga- roo Rat, so called because of his long hind legs and feet, long tail and the way he sits up and jumps. Strictly speaking he is not member of the Rat branch of the family, but of the Mouse branch, being closely related to the Pocket Mice, of which I will tell you later. You see he has pockets in his checks"
 Like miner" asked Striped Chip munk quickly. Striped Chipmunk is as interested in pockets as Peter Rab- bit is in tails.
 No. His pockets are op the outside instead of the inside of his cheeks" replied Old Mother Nature. They are outside like those of Grubby Gopher"
 T still think mine must be a lot handier,' asserted Striped Chipmunk, nodding his head in Gery decided way.
 "Longfoot seems to think his are very satisfactory" returned Old Mother Nature. He can fill them so fast you cannot see his paws move. He really is handsome. but this doesn't II gentle he never tries to bite when caught and taken in a mans hand"
 You haven't told us how big he is or what he looks like" protested im- ratent Peter Rabbit.
 "He is about the size of Striped Chip rtunk That is. his body is, about the size of Striped Chapmunk' but his tail is longer than his head and body together" replied Old Mother Nature.

 Well you certainly are not very en- thusiastic about itl' said Imogene with an aggrieved air. Well, honey" he said kindly you see l had that other chair in front of my desk for ten or fifteen years, and | it had sort of adjusted itself to my curves, and while it was mighty nice of you to buy me new one, I was satisfied and I can hardly get used to it yet" : Don't you like it?" she asked, pout- ing

 T got the most expensive one l could find" she continued, your other chair did not look comfortable. It seemed too high.'

 "oh. no" assured Andrew hastily
