THE IDEAL MAN

Mrs. l.. M. c., Of Cumberland,
Md, takes sharp issue with a noted
woman writer that women like
preachers and psyche. practitioners
because they listen to, and appear
to sympathize with, the secrets and
inmost heart-woes poured into their
ears.
II don't pretend" says the con-
tributor, that women do not like
sympathy and some one to talk to
who will understand. But so do
men, for that matter. Few women
will unburden their hearts to any
man, except husband or lover.
II do not think Ii Is true that
ALL men seem to regard women as
playthings, ornaments, servants.
There are some men who regard
women az healthy.minded human
beings"
Then she draws this picture of the
ideal mantle one who reaches a
woman's heart:
"The man who can laugh when q
woman laughs; be tender to her
when she cries or Ii sad; and, above
ALL, who does not scOld her, or ask
What Is wrOngf' when she really
doesn't know what she Is crying
about; q man who can enjoy q good
book or a concert; who can talk Of
ones chief interest without being
bored; who can love her always, and
give her compliment now and then,
even though they have been mar
ried many years; man who can be
a pal, q friend, q lover, and a hus-
band; q man who can he all these
things has reached the high road to
. woman's heart, and Ia. indeed. the
IDEAL MAN."

French Taxes.

The French government is having just 'as much
trouble with its attempts to reform its system OF
taxation as is prophesed for congress when it tackles
the problem of tax legislation The French have
provcd-what has often been proved before-that
there is no tax that is both painless and productive
The government is trying to decide which group
of interests-the agricultural the commercials
to suffer the most pain.
form of the sales tax has been in operation but
it has yielded only about one-third OF the amount
expccted because two-thirds Of those whom the tax
affects have avoided paying it. The proposal to
double this tax from to Z per cent has aroused
opposition on the ground that unless it is equtaby
collected such an increase is putting a penalty on
honesty There is a demand In business and indus
trial circles that the agricultural interests which own
half the nations wealth and pay only 10 per cent Of
the taxes should bs made carry equal share OF
the taxation burden. How that will be brought about
has not been revealed since the farmers control par
lament and parliament must enact the tax legislation

Silesian Control.

Now that allied troops have succeeded in estab-
fishing neutral zone between the lines of the oppos-
ing Polish and German insurgents and the danger OF
new outbreaks Of warfare large scale has been
minimized it is likely that the allies will give the
partisans Of both natonalities in upper Silesa OPP
portunity to cool off before decision is reached
garding the partition Of the territory. Although in
the early DAYS of the in,urrecton the Germans
loud in their declarations that the French troops,
through their sympathy with the Poles, were negh-
gent in their duty of preserving order, they have
now protested to Paris against the proposed with
drawal of French troops from the cities within the
Polish lines where Germans predominant The Ger
man forces under Gen Hoefer have suspended opera

Canada at the Conference.

The Canadian prime minister, Arthur Meighen,
has been extremely retcent regarding his attitude
the matters which will be considered the British
imperial conference, which opens in London on June
2I. On the day of Mr.. Meighens departure from
Canada, however, it announced that he would
propose that only four of the subjects the agenda
be taken up at this conference, The four subjects
pertain to the preparations for special constitutional
conference to be held at time in the future
review Of the foreign relations Of the emPre-par-
ticulary from the standpoint of the dominons; the
Anglo Japanese treaty; policies in external affairs that
concern the various parts of the empire.

treaty. Unlike the premiers of the other dominous
