for prospectors. 1t was James Bull
lard who named the city which
grew up almost overnight into Sill
yer City.
While John and James Billiard
were making their home in Silver
City band of Indian horse thieves
who had repeatedly terrorized the
settlers in that country renewed
their activities. James was away
from home at the time, and John
organized a party of cowboys and
miners who pursued the band of
Indians, In the clash which fol-
lowed the Indians were scattered,
and John Bullard himself wounded
their leader. AS the plainsman ad-
vanced to make a good Indian of
the wounded leader, the latter rose
on IT'S elbow and shot Billiard
through the heart.
The white men scalped the In
dian and carried his scalp back to
James Billiard as proof that his
brothers death had been avenged
The scalp was one of his most
priced possessions. .... .

"TIuS WAY OUT"

President Wilson has threatened
to withdraw from the senate the
Versailles peace treaty and the
proposed arrangement to join Eng
land and France to protect the
latter in case of early attack by
Germany on the French border.
This is in retaliation for the pres
ent action of the allies to settle the
row in a way different from that
demanded by Wilson in Paris. The
allies have found it expedent to
yield to Italy as they would, have
done at first but for Wilson. This
country is not now really entitled
to have any say equal to that of the
allies, who have signed and ratified
the Versailles treaty If the presi-
dent cannot by threat secure a for
eign back down, then he NAV find
an easy way of getting around the
dead lock by calling back the
treaty which the senate will never
ratify and which he insists he will
not consent to have amended.

REBUILDING IN BELGIUM.

Rehabilitation is proceeding fas-
ter in Belgium than in any other
of the countries occupied by enemy
armies during the war, according
to reports coming to the United
states Why this is possible is of
less interest now than the methods
that are being pursued. Accom-
plishments are what count, and the
Belgians are getting there"
This is strikingly illustrated in Il
description of government plans
for aiding in the construction OF
workingmen's houses. This taken
care of on a large scale in the
1920 budget. in which the govern
ment has allocated s2O,OOO,0OO for
the building of such houses. This
is state aid, not gift nor govern
ment investment for profit.
|The plan provides that the mon
ey shall be loaned to local authori-
ties, or approved building societies,
at rate of two per cent for twenty
years, at the end of which time a
new agreement will be entered in
to. BY that time, it is assumed,
the world will have been so far re-
established in a stable basis of in
dustry and commerce that this in
debtedness may be refunded in
consonance with then prevailing
rates and conditions. No loan may
exceed half the cost of a building
and the rent charged must not ex-
coed four per cent of the total
cost.
Belgium will not be very sub
stantially rebuilt under this scheme
under the current prices of mate
rails and labor, but this is n very
highly important contribution to
the revival of industry as well as
an addition to available shelter for
the people. Calculation that the
cost of building in the devastated
areas will be about 10000 francs a
house allows only $4,000 in our
money at the normal rate of ex-
change for each building. But it is
a beginning toward resettling the
population securely and perma-
nently.

/. 1t has been said that the large
nose indicates a clever man, This
means nose that is not only long
but large throughout. The fact is
that the ample nose indicates
strong respiratory organs, without
which great endurance is well nigh
impossible. However, the long,
narrow nose may be a really de-
ficient breathing organ, so to pos
sess the nose of genius, it must be
large as well as long.
If you look through the portraits
of great men you will find that the
short nose is the exception rather
than the rule. Your measuring
stick would show you that there
were many that were greater than
one-third the length of the entire
face. Washington, Jefferson-run
through the presidents and see how
many had long or longish noses;
and whether or not we put Wilson
in a class with Washington and
Lincoln, we must admit that his
nose is no shorter than theirs.
CALI Curci has q very long nose.
That is doubtless the first thing
you thought when you saw the first
portrait of the brilliant singer. And
CALI Curci stands ahead of ordin-
airy singers as much because of the
superbness of her vocal organs as
because of the extraordinary keen
ness of her mind. Margaret Apglin
has a long nose. SO have many of

Sarah Siddons, the most brilliant
actress of her day and perhaps the
greatest tragedienne England has
ever known. Her nose was ex-
cessively long. 1t ran through the
family and it indicated in her, as
it does in you, if you have one
artistic capacity and decision of
character, PERCEPTION of beauty and
subtlety of mind. IS

AN IMMUNE FOR INCOME TAX,

The Santa Fe New Mexican Is
strong for the net income tax law
which will not come within a
pile of touching that paper-or of
some private and official hackers
of the law--says a gentleman who
proposed a bill for a new income
tax measure and pushed to pass it,
admits it would add $4,000
to taxes of corporations he repre-
sents. Rumor has it that he also
had a hand in preparing the one
that both legislative houses set
aside, but which the governor has
since reinstated by veto.
or this measure so renewed,
Governor Larrazolo said in an adj
dress to the assembly:
From a careful reading of the
provisions of Section of that
chapter you will ascertain that the
income tax therein provided for,
as applicable to corporations, joint
stock companies and associations
organized for profits, only includes
such corporations, joint stock COM
panies and associations as are or
ganized under the laws of our state
TO THE EXCLUSION OF FOR
ETGN CORPORATIONS, JOINT
STOCK COMPANIES AND ASSO-
CATIONS, THEREBY MAKING
A MOST UNFAIR AND UNJUST
DTSCRIMTNATION, WHICH IN
ISELF WOULD RENDER THAT
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL"
Since the governor has kept the
unfair, unconstitutional" law in
force as against taxpayers for the
year 1919. he has said his purpose
is to let courts decide whether II
is constitutional. The New Mexi-
lean asks, what objection is there
to court decision? Probably
there is none by any taxpayer
But advocates of the law and Of
fetal supporters Of it do not seem
to contemplate initiative and ev-
identity hope for the law to stick
unless some taxpayer Is forced into
expensive litigation at his own cost
If the just author of the income
tax measure be unable to pay the
evtra $4,000 into the state treas.
ury because of a court decision
against the income tax law, il
would not be at all difficult tc

might propose to the legislature

The death of James B. Billiard
at his farm home here recently
marked the passing of one of the

James Billiard and his brother
John accompanied a wagon train
on their westward journey and
threw themselves into the wild life
of the pioneer days. James, be-
cause his knowledge of woodcraft
and scoutcraft, equaled that of the
Indians whom he so often opposed
was made chief of scouts, attach
