The Firemen's Relief
Fund Checks

Raleigh, July 2O.-The State Insur-
| ance department has just completed
forwarding frernen relief fund checks
to 92 treasurers of as many North
Carolina fire organization towns and
cities. Commissioner Wade says it is
always one of the most pleasing du-
ties of the department, although it
requires much time and patience to
get all towns to qualify promptly and
then a great deal of clerical work in
figuring the amount each town is en-
titled to under the law, this providing
tax of one-half of one per cent up
on the amount of premiums paid in
each town to fire insurance compa-
MES, provided the town or city COM
plies with the law in regard to fire
equipment, observance of building
laws, and other fire insurance compa-
MES, provided the town or city com
plies with the law in regard to fire
equipment, observance of building
laws, and other fire prevention and
fire protection regulations. The law,
which was a recognition of the value
of firemen, originally applied only to
foreign companies, but was changed,
thereby greatly increasing the fund,
by the General Assembly of 1919 and
made applicable to all companies.
The insurance department collects
the fund without cost, and checks it
out to the treasurer of the fremen's
board of trustees, who in turn dis
tributes the relief to local firemen, as
per their direction as an organization.
The amount distributed this year is
the largest ever, aggregating S29,-.
495.OO against $24, ,352.74 in 1920, $17,-
1912 in 1919 and $12,547.97 in 1918.
and the yield that year was $6,933.62.

T wELvE HUNDRED proposals of

TWELVE HUNDRED proposals of
 marriage in the last twelve
 months! Thpee or four different men laying their hearts at her feet every day-one after breakfast, one after luncheon and another after dinner, with one or two extra proposals thrown in on Sundays and holidays for good meas ure!
 Has any woman in the worlds history ever equalled the amazing love record of which Mile Doriarine, the famous Pari- sian stage beauty, can proudly boast?
 Since year ago she confesses that she has listened to twelve hundred m- passioned declarations of love undying. For every four or five of her waking hours there has been at least one man kneeling before her and beseeching her to let him take her in his strong arms and carry her off to the marriage altar
 It has been continuous performance of romance-with the same lovely heroine throughout, but with continual shifting of the heroes who declared it was hopeless to think of trying to live any longer without her.
 And the list of men who have been drawn by the irresistible lure of Dori- anne's charming beauty and talent is as remarkable for it's character as for it's astonishing length. It is veritable "Who's Who" of Paris-a cross section, as it were, of the city's boulevards and avenues where life is at it's gayest.
 To prove once again how universal is the appeal of beautiful femininity, here are men of all sorts and conditions, of every age and nation-rich and poor, of high degree and low, famous and oD- scure. Their love for Mile. Dorianne has brought them together on a.common level and they are democratized as they could be, perhaps, in no other way by the fas- cination she has exerted over them.
 Which of these twelve hundred suitors is Mile Dorianne going to marry? Which of the men who have murmured their love in such an infinite variety of en-t dearing ways has she decided to cling to through life?
 Not one! The perfect democracy in which the gallant twelve hundred found themselves when they laid ttheir hearts at her feet was not marred by the slight est partiality on her part. There were exactly twelve hundred proposals, and the number of hearts broken by Mlls Dorianne's kindly but emphatic, "Non, non, monsieur" was precisely the same thus saving Cupid any difficulty in strik- ing his trial balance on the years work.
 A woman less we'll poised could hardly have withstood such a determined and prolonged onslaught on her heart--she would doubtless have succumbed tolsheer force of repetition long before the 1200th proposal was launched. But Mile. Dori- anne declares that her heaft is as un- shaken @ it was before she began hav- ing three or four proposals of marriage svery day.
 Not only did none of the twelve hum fred <suitors win her, but their efforts to do 50 have left her convinced that shs will probably never find a man who

Harry Morgan obeyed the beauty's command by recovering speedily, but he did not live to be happy forever with her, as she had adjured him to. The bullet which he had intended to end everything seemed to have ended only his infatuation for Mile. Dorianne. At any rate, soon after this he left Paris to engage, it was said, in undertakings better calculated to meet the approval of his family than this mad pursuit of the French stage beauty.
 Dorianne's vogue as tho reigning beauty of the Parisian stage is of quite recent origin. She first daxzled the the atergoing public with her feshly charms when La Belle Dherlys, who had for years astonished everybody by her frank display of her body, suddenly rebelled against what she termed tho imnaodsst demands of her manager as to how she should undress for the part she vas to create in new play.
 In casting about at the eleventh hour for some one to take the place of the rebellious Dherlys the manager discov- cred by lucky chance Mile. Dorianne, She was engaged. and at once scored . tremendous hit.
 As a study of Dorianne's costumes soon revealed, she has none of the modest computations which compelled Dherlys' retirement According to her philosophy. 1t Is nothing less than . crime to hide from view real beauty and she declares that her body is one of the most beauti- ful things in the world.
 Many connoisseurs agree with her view and pronounce her even iovelier than La Belle Dherlys, whom she sue ceeded. And itwould not surprise them, they say, if tho next twelve months brings her many moro proposals than she has received during the last year.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-18

behil.~ -, through Switzerland, Austria and Germany, and finally into the fur thermost parts of Norway and Sweden.
 After years unsuccessful effort to elude him, Dorianne came to Paris. de- termned to try to resume her theatrical career in spite of these unwelcome atten- tions. Morgan also settled down in Paris and began to press his strange suit still more vigorously.
 Through mutual friend he managed to secure an introduction to the beauty he had worshipped at distance all these months. Dorianne. to her surprise. found the young man she had thought she aetested an extremely congonial companion. They began to be seen con- tinually together. at the fashionable

can. Her lovers of the last year were, she feels, quite representative of the best that the manhood of the present day in a half dozen different nations has to offer. Since none of them proved sat isfactory to her, what hope can there be of her ever finding satisfactory hus- band?
 Like every artist" says Dorianne in discussing all the passionate devotion that has been lavished on her without re- turn, q have my ideals. They rule every thing I do-the way I dance, the way sing, the color of my dress, the express sion of my countenance as l walk or drive along the boulevards.
 "In a matter so important as love it is only natural that my ideals shnuld be highland oh, so clearly defined Per- haps these ideals of mine are too high, I do not know. But do know that not one of those dear men who invited me to marry. measured up to what think a husband should be. If I never find man who does measure up-clors l re- main what ze Americaines call ze old maid"
 And as Dorianne spoke these words she drilled off into burst of gay laugh ter which left little doubt as to how un- broken her own heart is and how little concerned she is over those twelve hun dred male hearts whose fragments strew the last year of her life.
 Thus far none of the twelve hundred rejected suitors has gone to the desperate lengths to which Harry H. Morgan, young American soldier and business man, went more than year ago when he felt that all hope of winning this famous beauty for his very own was gone. But he is only one of dozen previous suitors who have thought life no longer worth living with her left out of it.
 Harry H. Morgan Is the son of the Hon. Henry H. Morgan, United States consul general at Brussels. The family came originally from New Orleans, but later lived in New York where it was prominent in fashionable social life. The young mans mother was the daugh- of Gen. Fitzpatrick. famous Confederate general during the American Civil War. An elder sister of his is the wife of Count de Maupas du Juglart. a distin- guished French nobleman.
 Young Morgan served in France in the Seventy-ninth Division, which saw hard fighting through the Meuse and the Argonne. After his discharge from the army he went to visit his father in Brussels. And there, at theatre one night, he saw Mile. Dorianne.
 As she fitted onto the stage he was convinced that neither heaven nor earth held more radfantly beautiful creature than she. He was fascinated, madly in love at first sight. When the perform ance was over he excused himself from the friends he was with and hurried around to the stage door.
 He followed Dorianne to fashionable restaurant and at table as near hers as hs could get he sat, while she ate her dainty supper, and drank in her beauty. He trailed her to her home and.

 At last Dorlanne, quite disgusted with this unsolicited and unscknowledged devotion, cancelled her theatrical engage ment and secretly fled to Cannes. By bribing . servant Morgan learned where she had gone and followed by the next train.
 At sight of him once more at her heels Dorianne fled to Italy, and there also Morgan followed. Then began love chase which. took the famous beauty. with her youthful admirer always close

restaurants and in the dancing places.
 Morgan escorted Dorianne to fancy dress ball for which she had provided costume that amazed even the most blase Parisians by the daring way it revealed her shapeiy flesh. And on this memorable occasion she danced with Morgan more than with any one else.
 Soon after this the young American became intensely jealous. He felt that Dorianne was neglecting him for rich Indian prince who was then the vogue in gay Paris. He returned to his apart ment disconsolate, and after breeding for hours over the situation decided that his heart was hopelessly broken and that he might as well end everything.
 Picking up his automatic revolver, he pressed it's muzzle against his chest and pulled the trigger.
 The bullet missed the heart for which the would-be suicide thought he had aimed with greatest care. He was not instantly killed. nor even fatally wounded. The night concierge who heard the re- port and discovered the love sick young American lying unconscious in pool of blood lifted him to his bed and quickly telephoned his sister, the Countess, and Mile Dorianne.
 When the latter arrived she flung her arms about the wounded mans neck and burst into a torrent of mingled affection and remorse. The French language is unusually rich In fond terms of endear- ment, but Dorianne is said to have ex- hausted it as she knelt there by Nor gan's bedside.
 ooh, Harry, mon pauvre petit cheri," she cried, looking more entrancing than ever with her beautiful eyes streaming tears, why did you ever do this dread full thing3 You must not die-you must live to be happy forever with mo-"

 Of course Dori- anne soon took mo- tice of the good look ing young American who followed her everywhere as close ly as her shadow. One day, as she passed him, she stopped. Morgan's heart came up into h' throat-he was quite overcome by the thought that at last he was to hear his divinity speak to him, that perhaps he would even have the inestimable pleasure of clasping one of her dainty hands in his own.
 But he was un- pleasantly surprised when, instead of a pleasant word of greeting, she ad- dressed him with considerable irrita- tion. She told him  she was indignant at the way he had been following her about and said 1t made her uncomfortable and i'll at ease.
 "You must not forget" she said, "that I am an ar

having learned in this way where she lived, began haunt ing the house morning, noon and night.
 And soon as Dorianne would emerge and enter her limou- sine, young Morgan would fol- low her in his own car. If she went to a tea room or res taurant he would take a table close by and gaze at her In

House Conferees Agree to Many
 Tax Amendments
By Associnted Pres.

Washington. November 12.-House and Senate conferees on the tax re- vision bill. holding their first session today. agreed to approximately l60 of the S33 amendments to the bill. The most important was that adopted by the Senate and continuing the taxes or the salaries of the President and federal judges.
 Chairman Penrose of the Senate managers. said there was discussion of a provision by Congress for a per manent fund for the President for official entertainment and a special fund to cover the cost of entertain ruents Incident to the arms confer ence Senator Penrose said no sug- gestion of this kind had come from the President, but that the conferees seemed to be of the opinion that Con- gress should act. especially since s1s.- 00U of the Presidents salary was to be returned to the treasury as taxes.
 The conferees passed over today the income surtax amendment and the corporation income tax provisions the two. high spots in the bill. but agreed to the amendment continuing the present normal income rates.
