SOME COOPERATIVE STORES SUCCEED
AND SOME DON'T; THE HUMAN FACTOR

about satisfying his customers than he is about satisfying
his stockholders OF making big money for himself for he
well knows that good VIII" is elusive thing, worth
great deal when he possesses it. and impossible
when It has been lost.
Many elements into successful retail merchandise
ing The cooperative stores have to pay and taxes
insurance and interest," light heat and all the other
head costs They have to employ labor at the ruling rates
and they have to possess adequate premises and equipment
and carry extensive stocks The profits in ordinary
chandising arearey excessive and few merchants
make than fair wage after all for the thought and
work they put into their business.
Yet the project always looks promising presented by
its skilled and persuasive promoters to the investing and
consuming public There Is strong human longing to
a business, and the man who is always paying
out likes to think Of something coming back.
In theory every merchant scales his prices down
he and carry business. the cooperative stores
find way to reduce the costs to the they
have legitimate for being, and the experiment is
always interesting But any attempt argue from these
experiments to the public ownership Of all land business

Housewives Beauty Hints By EDNA KENT FORBES

] 7 asst week I talked about the value
= OF doing homework as q beauty
exercise. Today want to discuss
the hardest problem the housewife
! has in keeping herself nice looking,
and that is the problem OF her hands
Homework is hard on the hands.
yet IL is possible to do all The ordinary
household duties without making the
hands dry and grimy, and even with
out spelling perfectly good mani
cure It sounds impossible and IL may
be difficult at first. but II can be
done I know several women who do
their own work without spelling their
nails. In fact, have at various times
done Il myself, so I can speak from
personal knowledge.
Usually the first task latter getting
brea ktast, which does not affect the
hands, is washing the dishes. You
can partially protect the hands by
providing yourself with a soap shaker
and long handled string mop. You
can protect yourself entirely by pur-
chasing and learning 70 wear a pair
OF rubber gloves. These same gloves
can be worn for al your househoid
tasks or they can be slipped off when
the dishes are done, and in their place
you can wear a pair Of loose canvas
gloves Tor sweeping, busting, garden
Ing and most cleaning.
There are two tasks where It Is hard
tho other Is laundry work. Yer .
great deal Of floor cleaning can be
done by using long handled mops that
come for this purpose and buckets
with automatic Wringers attached
Paints can be scrubbed and windows
cleaned with rubber gloves on. Laun-
dry work is the harder problem. Yet
there are many labor saving washing
machines and other convenience.
Use cold cream literally after your
work.

Fixing Taxes

THE NEW MEXICO special revenue commission is taking
sensible means Of making tax assessments when it
proposes to hear representatives Of all of the various
tess to be taxed and thus get their suggestions in the
matter From August 10 to a. these representatives, from
all parts of New Mexico viii gather in Santa Fe to discuss
the problems Of taxation.
As h J. Hagermau, chairman Of the commission, says,
revenues sufficient to meet the states expenses must be
raised by taxing property Of various kinds The big prob
lem comes IN deciding what kinds Of property should have
preference and what should bear the heavier burdens
1t IS natural that each property shall insist that
his kind Of property shall be taxed least Oppressvely
Intangible values and paper evidences of debt should
be taxed at all the first because great injustice and in
equality result the second because the borrower invariably
pays the tax
As general rule the authors Of books taxation hold
that property that brings the returns that costs least
to acquire that enjoys the most privileges from the state
and that IS least necessary to the welfare should
bear larger share Of burden than homes for instance
and investments IN Improvements
The New Mexico conference should develop interesting
discussions.

hours should always eapse between
meals so as to give the food ample time
to digest and the stomach a period of
