phantom of Excess
Levy In Marion Not
Fully Substantiated

Failure of the Marion county
court to make an explanation of
the presence of an excess OF $685.
342 over and above the legal lin
it in the 1921 tax levy, Other than
it was a mistake-the blame for
which is unplaced-coupled with
the fact that the court has been
aware that such an excess existed
since early in April without max
ing any announcement of the fact,
today places the excess in the light
of something more than an error.
To-day the taxpayers are asking
why. since the excess was called
to the attention Of the county
court by the Southern Pacific rail-
road company when it paid its
taxes prior to April 5, the alleged
"error" has not been traced to Its
source in the six weeks or more
that have elapsed? Why no an
nouncement of the error" was
made until it was asked for by The
Capital Journal yesterday? why

cling only the $4,000 refund which
must be made on taxes already
maid. instead of admitting the ful
amount of the over-levy Of $3S,
342 as it appears on the books o
the state tax commissioner?
That the "error" was something
more than an accident is wei
within the bounds of reason.

on him. and we were to be married
as soon as he got his next raise,
which was to be in September. I
thought 1t was safer to wait until
he had hundred dollars, as I like
pretty things and wanted to start
right. But John was too optimistic,
to cay the least. Every time 1 ad-

get IL for me. Generally he found
IL was beyond his means. But he'd
promise to save for it And then
he'd forget and spend his money
taking me out to dinner and a show.
He thought he could get my brother
a Job in his firm-and failed, He
was sure he could arrange for my
mother to buy her new dining room
furniture wholesale-and failed.
Never did any of us express a wish
but John was sure he could fulfill
IL. And he never measured up. He
was fine at promising-but that
didn't bring results. i got tired of

JUST A MATTER OF TACT.

The Business Girl has been taxi

waitress serves so willingly and ef-
flcIently that almost every one
leaves the dining room with a smile
and a pleasant word for his neigh
Dor.
Miranda has n system which the
Girl has for some time been trying
10 fathom. When she approaches
the service window between dining
room and kitchen she calls out
cheerfully. Egg for gentleman,
egg for lady" as the case may be.
To read the riddle the Girl had to
ask the answer to the puzzle from
Miranda herself. Miranda, what Is
the difference between an egg for
gentleman and an egg for a lady7"
'"Weu, ma'am," whispered Mi
tanda confidentially. as she placed
y fried egg and three crisp slices
OF. bacon before the Girl. they amt
no .differenee in the eggs, but a
gentleman usually likes two eggs
and a lady Just likes one, and I
think IL sounds nicer the other

with dignity: "of course. IL you
don't want to :"
She made little quick movement.
She put her arms round his neck
and, raising herself a little. kissed
him right on the mouth.
"Eva--" He would have de-
tained her, but she escaped him and,
with a murmured Good night" ran
up the steps into the house.
There were many conflicting emo
tions in the heart Of young Winter
dick as he drove back alone through
the silent night
III he had been quite honest with
himself, he would have admitted
that he was feeling almost happy.
But he had not yet reached the
stage when he could be quite hon
est with himself. He felt shay of
analyzing his emotion. There was
a sort of secret wish at the back
of his mind to wait little
longer-to avoid taking himself
out. as 1t were, till his wedding
day.
Something had happened that
evening which had given him a
nasty shock. and, as everyone
knows, a shock often has the ef-
feet OF bringing sick man to his
sense.
The fact was that Philip winter
dick was almost sure In his own
mind that Kitty Arlington had not
really tainted at all. He hated to

believed that the whole thing was
just a pose-an deliberately design

He rammed the brake home vi

"Don't you want to marry meT

He could feel rather than see that
she shrugged her shoulders. He
had never known her in this mood
before. 1t piqued and irritated him.
HOW FOOLIsHI
Until tonight he had been so sure
of her-so confident that she would
never fail him, but now he knew
that Calligan had found her attrac-
tive, and that she in return had
been greatly taken by Calligan, and
faint sort of dog he-manger
jealousy stirred in his heart.
why don't you answer| he said
brusquely.
He waited, then all at once he
caught her in his arms. She strug-
gled against him, but he held her
fast.
"If you're trying to make me
Jealous ." he said between
kisses. He had never kissed her
like this before, and Eva did not
know that she had only Calligan to
thank for 1t now. He kissed her till
she was breathless, then she turned
her face and hid 1t against his
shoulder.
Philip laughed rather shakily.
"Now, do you know who's going to
be master?'' he said.
She did not answer. She was
shaken to the depths of her being.
"I'll teach Calligan to make love
to you." Philip went on darkly.
She had to laugh at that. "Oh.
how foolish. OF course, he never
, didr' she protested.
Philip bent closer, trying to see
her face. Are you glad you are
going to marry me?' he demanded
in his best bullying manner.
"Of course i am"
"very well, then, I'll forgive you,"
he said magnanimously.
They both laughed at that, and
he drove on again slowly.
"We must have been ages and
ages" Eva said rather anxiously
when they reached the house. "They
will wonder where we have been"
She threw the rug aside and was
opening the door when Philip
stopped her.

THE WHITE
PLAGUE
BY Brice Belden, MD.

" TUBERCULOSIS is contracted
chiefly throu ugh infected
sputum of human beings or
from infected milk. Some people
are more susceptible to the disease
than others.
The milk supply is at present
hysenicaIly handled, for the greater
part. and the chief source of infec-
tion comes through the ignorant
and filthy. who. in spite of warnings
and explanations, continue to COM
init nuisance of splitting In public
places. spitters who are actually
infected with the disease are, of
course, the greatest source of
danger TO those who are suscep-
tible.
Infection very often occurs In
early childhood. the germs entering
through the alimentary tract. In
some cases the infection may re-
main in a dormant condition until
later in life, when the symptoms
of the disease begin TO appear. In
these cases of childhood infection
the germs probably do not become
active until certain conditions fav-
orable to tuberculosis Development
occur.
Children often contract the dis
ease from remaining indoors too
much or from lack of air in their
homes, II they work In factories
whore sanitary precautions are not
observed or II they live with con-
sumptive people with careless hab-
it's they stand very good chance
Of contracting the disease.
Coughing and sneezing without
using a handkerchief is as dan
gerous as splitting. Many people
with a cough have tuberculosis and
are not aware of II. and, therefore,
every one should be careful in re-
gard to habits of this llnd.
Ray cows milk is a source of
infection when the cows are tuber-
culous. especially in the case of
children.
The disease Is not hereditary.
but tuberculous parents or rela-
tives can hand on the diseae to a
child living with them in a very
short time IL they are not careful
in their habits. Children of tuber-
culous parents have, however, in
many cases. a lowered resistance TO
tho disease, and should be brought
up with special care.
