while in none of these years were
the expenditures adequate to meet the
needs of the schools, these figures
show not only that the largest sum
was spent in 1916 during the Mitchell
administration, but also that in view
OF the depreciation in the value of the
dollar the practical effectiveness of the
sums spent during the Hylan years
was far less than that of the sums
spent during the Mitchell administra-
ton. For that reason also the Hylan
record has been the. poorest in the last
fifteen years.
while we have preferred to use ex-
penditure figures, because they indi-
cate actual accomplishments, which is,
after ali, what really counts, Mr.. Hy-
Ian has preferred to use appropria-
tions, since tkey total more than actual
expenditures and thus appear to give
him an advantage. A study of these
latter figures, however, shows that they
serve but further TO prove the point
the expenditure figures made--that the
schools have not been adequately re-

I asked the player what action
would be taken, and the reply was
that there is sentiment in the rank

NO AID TO BABE RUTH

The lively ball aids Babe Ruth
less than his rivals.
Big BAN has the might to swat
homers without the aid of extra
cork and rubber.
He gets fewer good balls to hit
at than the other would-be long
distance swatters.
If he got his share, he'd be
getting his one or possibly two
swats per day.
Babe isn't getting a square
deal. But, despite that, he is
doing a fair business.
And before the end Of the year
he ought to knock his record Of
"a into a cooked hat-that is,
unless they quit pitching to him
altogether.

The player added that early in the

Dorothy Dix Tails
Ten Commandments for the Summer
By DOROTHY DIX
worlds highest Paid Woman WFiteR.

Ten Commandments for the Summer
Girls
Fourth: Speak with honey on your
tongue to the rocking chair brigade
on the hotel veranda. and scorn not
the homely girl whom the other
pretty girls snub. Many a fat old lady
who rocks and knits is a social arbiter
in her home town, who can turn
thumbs up or down and settle a
girls fate in the matter of the avn
ings she is asked to walk under.
Also full many an ugly duck1ing has
a good looking brother who comes in
for week lends.
Fifth: Don't be piggish. Don't be
one of the girls who grab every man
who comes along, and who would die
before she would introduce a man to
another girl. Every man steers clear
of the girl who tries to monopolize
him, and from whom he has diff
Guilty in freeing himself. It's the gen.
erous hearted girl who shares her
beaux, and her candy, and her good
times with every other girl who Is
the belle of the resort.
Sixth: Have pity on the poor de-
fenceless, lone 1orn man of the sum-
mer resort, and be not one of the
pack of misunderstanding females who
hound his footsteps. Consider the
sufferings Of one who can not show
his face without being bounced upon
mis-, OF ride in car, or row a boat,
or see a view, and who every night
must dance with a myriad of partners
until his feet ache and he loathes
the sound of jazz band. Even
more have mercy upon his pocket
book, and hint not for frappes, and
candy, and sandwiches every time
you go out with a youth who may
look like a million dollars but proba-
bly, is a clerk on a small salary.
Seventh: Take not summer love-
making seriously. Filtration belongs
to moonlight nights, and silvery waves,
and u girl is no sport who holds a
man responsible for what he says on
the beach when the waves are rolling
in and the music of guitars comes
family on the wind.
Eighth: Avoid the snapshot fiend
as you would the leprosy. 1t may be
very funny to be photographed with
a jolly group in an unconventional at
titude on some hilarious excursion, but
your best young man won't see the
humor in your having some strange
mans arm around you when you show
him the picture after you get home.
Ninth: Remember that scandal is a
weed that flourishes most 1uxuriantly
in the warm months and that a sum-
mer hotel is it's habitat. Keep your
moral skirts as clean as you do your
sport skirts.
Tenth: If you can't get away from
town for even a short vacation, be
comforted by the reflection that you
are having twice as much fun at home
where the men, and the picture shows,
and the summer theaters are. as are
the girls who are sitting around lone
somely or dancing with each other at
the Adamless Edens in the mountains
or on, the seashore.

Yet It haunts me- now with It's dismal

What's got into the clock down there
That it ticks so loud? 1t Is all SO queer.

But why should I feel that nothins

Oh. an empty house is dismal place
Despite what cynics and scoffers say,
1t needs the light Of smiling face.
For homes not home with the folks

And the clock will tick and the floor will

It is reported that taxation is worry
ing leaders of congress today more
than at any time since the outset of
the present administration. And we'll
it may, in view of the fact that the
public daily is growing more insistent
on some form of relief. The truth of
the taxation situation is said to be that
no matter how successful congress Is
in changing the form of taxation.
there is little or no prospect of its
being able to tighten the taxes the
great mass of the people are COM
PEELED to pay. But there is nothing to
prevent congress from making more
equitable distribution of the tax bur-
den, thru the adoption of a sales tax
