Hero we have n striking example,.
not only of the change in the mean

from uncommon-but also Of the radi-
cal alteration In the way In which
men have been regarded at different

today, Handsome" is UNDERWOOD as

Thus we speak of a man as being
Handsome" or We may alludc to his
gifts TO charity as being Handsome

Is slipping rapidly into dsuse.
In former years. however. hand
some" was employed in the sense OF
handy or dcNtrous or convenient. ac-
cordinE as 1t was applied to persons or
to things. The connection between

and dexterity or excellence OF physical

PAYING TAXES IN PIGS.
And Other Animals Raised On Farms
of Russia.

Riga, Lativa, Aug. 27.--The problems
Of substituting pigs for sheep and then
figuring what the difference, if any,
amouns to in cheese or buckwheat,
have been worked out in detail by the
Russian soviet government in connec-
tion with the system ofI"tax in kind"
imposed on the peasant.
VI The tax collectors, instead of re-
curing pocket books where in to carry
money are to be equipped with scales,
baskets, pig pens, stock cars and other
paraphernalia to weigh or transport
the tax payments.
Generally, the amount of grain tax
is fixed for every separate farm and is
computed according to the area cul-
tivated. The tax per acre is fixed ac
cording to the average crop yield ex-
pected in that district
1t has been attempted to arrange a
scheme tina would permit the occupants
of a farm to feed themselves well, u
certain portion of the surplus going to
the government.
n The worst complications occur in col
lecting live stock tax. Scarcely ever
exists Russian peasant who has so
many cattle or sheep or pigs that he
would be required to turn over a whole
animal to the government. A plan has
been devised permitting the peasants
TO agree among themselves as to which
one should hand over a whole animal
To the government. When the other
peasants butcher, they viii pay back
the peasant whose pig the government
took.
If the pig turned over by this group
of peasants should happen to weigh
more or less than the exact weight re-
auired as it undoubtedly would be in
cases, the peasants would receive goods |
in exchange if it weighed more, or
would pay the difference in butter or
milk or cheese if it weighed less. The |
exact values of all manufactured ar-l
ticles. such as shoes, matches, ploughs
and axle grease, have been worked OFT |
in terms of pork, beef, oats wheat, milk,
eggs. etc, as no money payments of
any kind are to be permitted in the col
lection of this tax.
In previous years of the bolshevik
regime, there was no tax in kind, the
government merely permitting the
peasant to keep small share for his
crop, calculated on the basis of the
number Of mouths he had to feed and
seizing the rest The natural tax
scheme is Lenine's substitute for
seizure.
Thousands of communists have been
modified to collect the tax, by which
the government hopes to secure enough
foodstuffs to feed the workmen in the
cities, soldiers and government en-
ployes. 1t is not to be collected in the
famine districts.
Lenine recently made number of

which have been very popular with the

put up more next year. Many tour

The publicity department publishes
annually booklets descriptive of Yer

these pamphlets outside the state for
the purpose of giving the public addi-
tional information concerning Yer

of interest to the tourist, such as

publishes directory of hotels and
boarding houses called Where to Stop

GRAVE DISORDER I'm INDIA
Mob of 1000 Attacked Police in Town
of Tirur.

London, Aug. 27.--Conditions in the
district south of Calicut, British
India, are shown to be of considerable
gravity in an official statement issued
at the India office here. This state
ment, based on telegram from Ma
dras, which was filed in that city early
on Friday, states that mob of 1000
made an attack upon the police in the
town of Tirur, and later clashed with
the Leinster Platoon, which dispersed
the rioters with machine guns. Lieut.
enants Rowley and Johnston become
separated from their troops and were
killed. Their bodies, terribly mutilated,
were subsequently recovered.
The cruiser Campus arrived at Cal
icut yesterday, and the situation in
that city is said to be quiet. Further
south and east, however, there have
been a number of serious fights. A
detachment of soldiers at Malaparum,
35 miles southeast of Calicut, has been
cut off from its base, but is reported
to be safe. Reports from number of
towns along the Malabar coast state
that public offices in many places have
been looted by mobs.

which was called on Saturday in such
way as to show that the ministry
was concerned over the situation. The
assassination of Matthias Erzberger
last Friday has appeared to have set

which have been smouldering for some
time and the cabinet is believed to find
itself in a serious predicament.
One of the features of the situation
which is troubling the government is
the attitude of organized labor sup
ported by the socialist and communist
parties, in demanding the definite sup
preston of the activities and machina
tons of the pan Germans. This party
has been unusually active of late, hold
ing battle anniversaries, steel helmet"
