Under such plan, be stated. the rate of taxation would be reduced from the present rate of 22 per cent to ap- proximately IT per cent.

NOW CONTROL SMALLPOX.
Much of the Dread of the Disease Is
 Eliminated by Science.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, March 17.-The pro- gross of medical science in the last few years has robbed smallpox of much of it's dread for the general pub lie. It is a well known fact that smallpox is scattered all over the country, but health officers have learned how to control it, and now the danger of contagion has been reduced to the minimum. Constant diligence, however, is necessary. Reports came to the office of the State Health De- partment that there are some cases of the disease at Dierks in Sevier coun- ty and Fouke in Miller county, and that proper regulations were not be- ing observed. Dr. R. E. Dyer, of the United States Public Health Service, attached to the State office as epidem- iologist, left last night for those two points to investigate.

 Hopes They May Have Govern
 ment "of Own Choosing"
 Washington, March 1S.-Into a new reservation to the peace treaty adopt ed late today by a vote of 5S to S5 the Senate reaffirmed it's sympathy for the aspirations of the Irish people and expressed hope that the time "was at hand" when Ireland would have a government of it's own choosing.
 Twenty-one Democrats and seven teen Republicans supported the reserv- ation and sixteen Democrats and twenty Republicans voted against 1t.
 The reservation regarding Ireland, which was proposed by Senator Gerry, Democrat, of Rhode Island follows;
 '1n consenting to the ratification of the treaty with Germany the United States adheres to the principle of self determination and to the resolution of sympathy with the aspirations of the Irish people for government or their own choice adopted by the Sen ate June 6, 1919, and declares that when such a government is attained by Ireland consummation, 1t IS hoped, is at hand, it should promptly be admitted as a member of the league of nations"

Farmers See Crop Failure As Result

Quite suddenly, the war cloud
which had been gathering along the
Rio Grande was dissolved, or at least
its shadow was removed from the
earth for a while.
Daddy had this news by special
messenger. Even in that remote
Mexican hacienda, even under the Sc
cret surveillance of our foreign born
host, the Hon. James D. Lorimer
managed to keep in touch with world
events. This proved to me, once
more, that the cheerful, clumsy man

actually man of tremendous impor-
tance on thesglobe
Certeis, too, was one of the worlds
important personagez. He had play
ed a stupenuous part in international
affairs for q dozen years. His ac-
tivities had not been of a kind to dis
play in any column Of current events,
but they were destined to De chron-
icled conspicuously in the history Of
his time.
And some day, some inquisitive
historian, with a mind moving ac-
cording to Freud, would set out to
find who was the unknown woman
who had been adored by the greatest
of all international spies!

Daddy shouted. He always shouts
when he is angry. "You know well
enough what has happened to my
daughter The girl has been put to
sleep by that creature you call Donna
Camilla! Bring the woman here!

Dr. Certeis flushed but he answer

"Then get the poor girl out Of

Certeia shook his head.
"Impossible. | have not the skill
to break the spell which has chilled
her. But | intend to keep her alive.
You can trust me- he said, look
ing at me in an odd way as if to tell
me that he intended. to be li:e for
my sake.
Thereafter, for days and days, our
life at the hacienda was centereI

her, I wished for a real prince, one

SAYS MARRIAGE RISK
TAKEN TOO HURRlEDLY

BOSTON, April 3o.--"Young people
today are rushing into marriage
olinded by temporary prosperity; "a
10 too big a risk" declares City Resis-
trsr hcGlennon. who has been Issuing
marriage licenses for many years and
who knows whereof he speaks
Marriage Is on the increase" MT.
McGlennon stated. Records show
1890 licenses issued for four months
OF this year, as against l,Teo for last
year. A great proportion OF these are
young working people. with plenty OF
mosey on hand. but with absolutely
no idea OF planning for the days when
conditions Will be more normal and
wages less.
Its all right for older people TO
marry-they know enough 10 think
and plan for themselves. They have
had the experience OF having money.
and they are not carried away by eI-
traysgant standards. But young folks
are up against IL. Rents are high,
food is high. furniture Is high. A man
needs TO be wealthy to be able to fur
nish an ordinary hat-if he's lucky
enough TO hnd one.
I'm the old days, when two people
wanted to get married, they had their
home expenses all itemized and put
aside. They knew how much they
were going to spend for the parlor
furniture and the baking tins and the
dining room set, and usually they had
the money saved beforehand. Now
adays all people have is their days
pay and they spend that before the
day is over. But they get married
just the same"
Mr.. McGlennon decried the number
OF war brides" who are having time
to reconsider their hasty marriages,
