chemistry, which seemed solidly found
ed on the bed rock of incontrovertible
fact, has been practically destroyed by
the tremendous discoveries of this
one unassuming little woman. Before
the advent of Nine. Curie the atom
had been religiously held to be the
minutest particle of matter. Nine.
Curie has smashed the amto into TO-
900 fragments. Before Nine. Curie it
was held that "transmutation of met
ais" was folly of the alchemists, and
that the atom, as we'll as being indi-
visible, was eternally unalterable.
Nine. Curie has proved that atoms
may be altered, that one element may
be changed into another different ele-
ment, and that, in fact, such changes
are constantly in progress in nature
without the aid of man and wholly
beyond human control.

ponents of the measure may rest on their oars
and feel sure that the legislation will be enacted
into law. No measure is safe in the lower house
until favorable vote has been recorded. In the
senate, the bill probably will meet stiff opposi
ton. Advocates of home rule are trying to create
enough favorable sentiment in the upper house
to give the bill a fair chance How far they have
succeeded is unknown.
The action of the senate on other bills has
indicated disposition on the part of senators to
carry out the will of the people. If the senators
are swayed by the same consideration, friends of
home rule may rest easy; but no assurance to
this effect is obtainable. 1t has been said all
along that the senate would act unfavorably on
the measure.
Consequently it behooves the supporters of
the measure to be prepared for attacks in the
upper body. In the meantime, vote of the
house on the measure should be obtained. Many
good bill has been killed in the final days of a
session, and the home rule bill, if it is not kept
sharply to the front, may meet the same fate.
Another menace to the enactment of good
home rule bill is the power of amendment which
opponents of the measure may exercise. The
original bill carried provision requiring that
only 10 per cent of the voters of city were
needed to petition for an election upon the adop-
ton or rejection of home rule. This has been in
creased to 20 per cent.
Ten per cent of the voters should suffice to
call for an election. The political bosses probably
believe that by increasing it to 20 per cent diff
Guilty will be experienced in getting enough sign
ers to the petition.
There is no recall provision in the measure.
Since the voters are trying to obtain efficient
home rule they might just we'll incorporate
this feature so that this power may act as an
incentive upon officials to perform their duties
faithfully.
The initiative and referendum city ordi~
nances should also stay in the bill. These pro-
visions will give the people adequate and complete
control over the municipal government. Political
bosses fight the initiative, referendum and recall,
because they are potent mediums through which
the people may exercise their power.
If opponents of home rule are convinced that
bill of some sort will pass both houses, we may
rest assured that they will try to destroy the
efficacy of the legislation by amending it so
adroitly that much of it's force will be lost.
Against these insidious attacks, proponents of the
measure should be prepared to muster their
forces.

Benefiting Those Who Benefit None

The confiscation of twenty-five per cent of
her citizens capital which France is considering
as an ante-war tax measure, will be an interest
ing and Illuminating experiment. First of all, it
will result in twenty-five per cent reduction in
her domestic held government and municipal
debts
People with money in banks or building and
loan associations will pay their assessments at
one time, enabling the French government to re-
tire several million barrels of it's cheap paper
money. This will increase the value of the paper
money still remaining in circulation, to the
marked advantage of those who converted prop
ery into cash and forget to turn in the latter for
the twenty-five per cent assessment.
People with property, household goods ETC.,
will have to pay their assessments on the install
ment plan They can't sell because every prop
erty owner will be under the same necessity,
hence, there will be no buyers. Mortgages will
afford the only means of payment, the interest
and principal payments thereon constituting but
another form of annual tax.
1t will be decidedly tough tax on the thrifty,
who have loaned their savings to their govern
ment in its hours of great need, to the benefit of
not only themselves but also of the thriftless
whose destinies were protected thereby from
ruthless destruction in the late In fact the
thriftess and the forgetful, those who forget to
turn in for the twenty-five per cent assessment
cash or other assets they have hidden, are the
sole benefciares of the proposed capital tax.

Good Evening
BY Roy X. MouIton

We read with considerable interest
newspaper accounts to the effect that
the Lisle Silk bank has gone out of
business. It is always regrettable to
see an old institution fail, but in this
case we might have known it. In the
old days it was not unusual to note a
slight bulge on a lady's leg just above
the ankle and to know that she had
there deposited her hard-earned mon
ey-whether she got it from a job or
from her husband it was hard-earned.
Now the stockings are so thin, SO di-
aphanous, in fact, that any paSserby
could at a glance tell just how much
money she was forth holding up. Now
the ladies keep their money some
where else. but may we ask where?
All the ladies we haveS seen lately
have been so tightly dressed that a.
thin dime catched anywhere on the
person would stock out as prominently
as a full-siZed quart on a gentleman S
hip. They don't carry it in handbags,
because we have found several of
those and they have never had cent
in them, and when a woman does look
for a nickel in handbag she pokes
around in it for ten minutes. Still we
see women eating in restaurants, rid
ing on street cars and buying cigarets.
They carry the stuff somewhere, but
where?
