 Perhaps the key note of all the unrest is that men and women have not had be- fore an entirely mutual interest.
 We all know how the mother yearns for her children to be good, just such yearn- ing is she bringing to bear on the bet terment of the world
 A recent writer on suffrage points out the fact that men create, originate, women conserve. We cannot hope nor do we wish to build great airships or seek the reins of government. We wonl- en want, with all our hearts, to spirit |ualize our homes, our cities, our beautiful world. United now in one great onward march we want to save the moral and mental and physical waste of the world.
 I argue that the new dignity of citi- zenship will give an expansion to a won- ans mind and heart and soul as she has not had before. A tremendous factor in mans nature, old as life itself. is to protect women.
 Men feared higher education. they fear suffrage. and many mon are frankly dis mayed and perplexed as to its outcome.

down upon the right of women to vote and consider it merely new toy. In order to protect herself a reserve and modesty such as men have not seen for many years must be conspicuousiy present.
 While I am sounding this clarion call must. explain to my beloved own sex that I am convinced that as a sex men have lost confidence in us. Let us ques- tion ourselves closely. Do we deserve 1t? Have we not allowed a demoralizing downward trend of fashionable dress to eat right down into the very vitals of the most precious jewel of womanhood-- IF odesty? fear that if we face the truth we will have to admit that we have been pretty reckless with our ideals.
 What has this to do with suffrage Everything Our changed status must bring about a changed attitude of mind. We are the worlds new relation.
 For our young women who are to be the future mothers of men I would crave a new ideal. Thinking of young girls their
 innocence and beauty, reminds us of how often they are misunderstood Let them remember the stately beauty and frag- rance and purity of the magnolia which remains unblemished until it is handled.

in this broader field of endeavor2 With increased privileges and rights comes ad- ditional responsibilities. I would like to write in letters of fire. The new freedom creates new control.
 With the broader field of activity must come stronger guard upon their emo tions. First, last and always must wom- en guard their refinements as never be- fore The leaders of women must be- come conspcuously modest Higher cut necks and covered arms for the street. Transparent blouses with visible under wear should be delegated to the privacy of our home where only those who love us will censor us.
 The bold bare evening dress and ex- treme bathing suits should give way to a nor decorous mode of dress. The rights of women to a voice in the government enlarges a wornan's sphere, but it just as certainly diminishes her freedom in con- duct. in dress and in speech.
 As she walks for the first time side by side with men, she will have to witness varied and altogether new aspect to the world we live In.
 Therefore new reserve will be wise for her at registration bureau and al the polls. Some men will look askance many will be tempted Ito belittle and frown

Income Tax Reductions
. Editor of The Age-He rald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 We notice in your Tuesday edition an article stating that individuals, eorpor- ations. and partnerships would not be allowed to deduct state and county taxes unless paid before January l, in their returns for the year 1920. We wish to quote the income tax law on this subject as follows:
 Section 214 (A). That in computing net income there shall be allowed as deductions: Paragraph 119 (3) taxes paid or accrued within the taxable year imposed; paragraph 122 co by the au- thoTity of any state or territory or any county. school district municipality. or other tax subdivision of any state or territory.
 You can readily see that taxes are deductable whether they are paid or not, as the law states paid or accrued, and any individual firm. or corpora ton keeping books on an income and
