CALL CORK MAYOR
POLITICAL REFUGEE
Formal Claim to Rights as Such
Made to State Depart
ment
CASE SENT TO PRESIDENT
BY the Associated Press

Washington. Jan. 12.-FOrmal claim
to the rights Of political refuge" was
made today by Donal O'Callaghan, lord
mayor of Cork, who entered the coun-
try rs stowawny without a passport
and whose case is before President Will
son for final decision, as a result of
differences between the State and the
Labor Departments.
The claim was presented to Secre-
tary Wilson at the Labor Department
by Judge Lawless. attorney for O'Cal-
laghan. in whose custody he was paroled
soon after his arrival in this country.
The lord mayor arrived in Washington
today from New York and expects to
testify tomorrow before the commission
of the committee of one hundred in
vestigating conditions in ireland.
Acting Secretary Davis. of the State
Department. ruled that the lord mayor
could not be considered political
refugee when Eamonn de Valera. prcsi =
dent of the so called Irish republic. was
returning to Ireland at the same time
that O'Callaghan was leaving there.
Judge LawleSS is understood to have
told Secretary Wilson that the lord
mayor had found it impossible to obtain
a passport from the British Government
to come here to testify before the com
mission investigating conditions in Ire
land. and that if he should be- deportcd
he would be turned over to the British
authorities to be imprisoned.
In order to establish his claim of
exemption from passport restrictions as
a political refugee. officials said the lord
mayor would have to announce his in
tention of remaining in the United
States indefinitely.
Whatever decision Secretary Wilson
makes in the lord mayors case. he is
expected to follow the suggestion of
President Wilson. AS yet the Prcsi-
dents position has not been made
known.

A Quicksand is n loose sand into which
solid bodies readily sink Quicksands are
composed of very small rounded particles
which under ordinary pressure do not pack
together and when moistened behave like
a fluid. They are especially common in
glacial deposits and may be encountered
almost anywhere within the region invaded
by the continental ice sheet. Any heavy
object placed upon quicksand is rapidly

year.

SONGS.
Sing me song that will light the eye,
With the joy of the long ago:
The orchards trees and the patch of sky
From the scenes that used to know;
Sing me no song in a classic strain:
From an age that I've never known;
But sing me the sweet and the low refrain
OF joys 1 can call my own.
Sing me song of the long ago,
And the song which the kettle sang,
Sing of the breezes that used to blow
Where the laughter of boyhood rang
The heart of me yearns for the simpler
things
Which out of nv life have flown,
Let mine be the music which sweetly
brings
Some touch of the love I've known.
Sing of the tears which my eyes have shed
And the hurts which my heart has borne !;
Sing. if you will, of my lovely dead
And the trail which my feet have worn
Sing of the boy at his mothers knee,
In a glorious minor tone,
But let me find in yoor melody
Some joy I can cali my own

Dorothy Dir Talks
The Ideal Husband-1.
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Write


A young girl asks me if can tell
her what qualities a man should have
to make him an ideal husband, because
she wants to be sure that the man she
picks out for a life partner has all the
genuine, own-in-the-bottle guaran-
tees of being the real thing before she
matches with him to the altar.
Why, child, there is no more set
standard for grading husbands, and
to which they must conform, as there
is for judging Durocs, and Holsteins,
and goats, and other domestic animals.
You can't credit a husband with SO
many points in his favor because he
has a well shaped head, and a kind
and gentle disposition. Nor can you
take off so many dement's because his
stomach is bigger than his head, or
he isn't a free mixer as regards house
keeping allowances.
There can be no ideal husband be-
cause there are many women of many
minds, and every mothers daughter
of them has a different mind about
what she likes best in a man. Which
is Gods mercy; for otherwise, there
would be a few Brigham Youngs, with
thousands of wives apiece. and an
over supply of old bachelors.
Heaven knows the competition for
every. eligible man is fierce enough
now, and it makes one tremble to
think what it would be if scores of
women were after a model husband
the way they go after a model hat
at a bargain sale.
Praise be, this is not the case.
Feminine taste differs In husbands
even as it does in millinery. What is
one Woman's meat is another woman
poison. The man one lady can't abide,
fires the fancy of her sister. He who
boreS one woman to tears, casts a spell
of enchantment over another, and so

ring on.
No human being can even guess
what a woma1ks ideal is going to be,
or look like, or>act like. The riddle
that the Sphynx broods over in the
desert is: what did she ever see in
it at every marriage she has ever
attended. And nobady answers it.
Different women like men for diff
ferent qualities, and have different
ideals. Among my acquaintance is a
young woman who had a stormy and
tempestuous excursion on the matri-
monial sea with a young rounder who
drank himself to death before he was
thirty. In. the couse of time the
widow was wooed by a most estimable
gentleman of irreproachable morals
and conduct, but she refused him
"You see," she said by way of ex-
PLANTATION, Johnny had spoiled me for
marriage with any other man. There
was some excitement and pep to being
married to Johnny, for 1 never knew
/, when he came home of an evening
whether he would bring me bunch
of American Beauties, or give me a
beating. Some thrill to that, believe
me! couldn't stand being married
to a man who would always punch the
home time clock on the dot at $3.50
and would be always just exactly what
he should be, and that you knew be-
forehand he was going to be. I'd
yawn myself to DEATH

The secretary of the treasury, by
no means discouraged by the refusal
of congress to adopt mis- views on tax
alton, continues to thrust those views
forward. The theory that scheme
of taxation can be devised that will
produce the revenue necessary 70
maintain the government ana at the
same time enable all but a few to
escape participation in the payment of
these taxes, is a sophistry too palpable
to deceive many persons. All taxes
are necessarily paid by all the people
Put a tax on a rich mans tenant
house and the charge goes into the
cost upon which the rental charge is
based. Put tax on the manufacturer
and it enters into the cost of produc-
ton which in turn determines sales
costspaid by the consumer. The cost
of government under existing condt-
lions is so great that necessarily the
bill must be paid by all of the peo-
pie. From these facts it can be read
lily seen that the general sales tax is
superior to every other method of
raising revenue.
