LAST OF TALMADGE
 SISTERS ENGAGED
Natalie to Be Bride of Buster Kcaton, Another We'll Known Film
 Star.

Palm Beach, Fla, Feb. 5.-Miss Natalie Talmadge, youngest of the trinity of film stars given to the world by Papa and Mama TalmadGe, is engaged to be married to Buster Keaton also of the movies. She ad- mitted it yesterday. She is here with her mother and sister and brother in-law. MT. and Mrs. Joseph Schenck (Norma Talmadge). They are at the Poinciana. Norma Talmadge is mak- ing some scenes for a new picture. Natalie is just resting and receiving felicitations.
 The courtship was one accom- plished by wire and letter. according to Miss TaImadge, as Buster is in California making pictures. He will come East in May. but she does not know herself when the wedding will take place. They met four years ago in New York. and she hasn't seen him for two years. but keeps track of how he looks by watching him in movies.
 Natalie's marriage will complete the circle, for Constance became the bride of John Paglialog about month ago.

opposed this proposition. It was eStI- mated that sewer assessments in the past two years were S125,OO less than the amount spent on sewers.
 Action was postponed in the matter of changing the plumbing inspector to the office of building inspector, remov- ing it from the health department. The Master Plumbers association will be given a hearing, as requested, next week. Alderman Gilpatric introduced a resolution for a committee of five to have power to appoint plumbing, building and electrical inspectors and their assistants, this commission to take the place of the proposed electrical board. On the board he would have a practical builder, practical plumber practical electrician and two others.
 The committee postponed action on the item pertaining to the size of the common council, the purpose of which is to reduce it in numbers.
 Other matters that were favorably acted upon were: The appointment of a purchasing committee for the city; the increase of the park commlsSlon from three to five members; placing the appointment of tax collector Ill the hands of the finance and taxation conl- mittec and having that official also handle water rents.
 Opposition was voiced to the exten- sion of the city planning commuee powers which would place that body members felt, in q stronger posltion than the council.

For the hostess who likes to have her parties on red letter days of the calendar February IA offers a charming opportunity.
 A Valentine tea can be made into 2 truly charming delightful affair by the simple use of ingenuity, red and white crepe paper and candle light. Arrange the dining table in such a way that 1t looks like an old fash toned lace paper valentine. Use the table bare and make the lace of white crepe paper. If the table is round make the lacy part in the shape of a heart.
 The tea should be poured at the top of the heart. Small hearts cut from rcd crepe paper may be scat tered judiciously over the valentine. A low basket of flowers makes the centerpiecc and the middle of the valentine. The plates of cakes and candles help in decorating and the soft glow of candle light" lends en- chantmcnt.
 Menu for Tea.

 My Own Recipes.
 Hard boiled cEgs, pimentoes and mayonnaise mako good sandwiches Chop the eggs and pimentoes very fine and add mayonnaise to make moist. Spread on thin pieces of white buttered bread and cut in the shape of hearts. Preserved ginger com bined with m equal amount of cream cheese spread on brown bread makes n sweet sandwich. Somehow one connects sweet things with vaIen- tines. so the tea may be distinctly sweet and be in keeping. A marsh mallow may be dropped in each cup of chocolate instead of whipped cream. and marachino cherries served with tho tea in place of lemon to carry out the color scheme of red. Use bonbons and the lovely fruit jel- lies in all colors for the candy. AL monds. oceans and hickory nuts arc always good saltcd.

FREQUENT dream 10 ono that gives A the. sleeper the feeling of great and sudden fall. Such dreams are rather difficult to explain. for a sharp line must be drawn between the fall ,,f the body and ''tre fall of the soul" The "fau of the body" is . common sensation occurring shortly after the dreamer fell" asleep. and at times 1t rouses him to full wakofulneSs. At others, he drifts back into slumber- land. PhysiciAn8 will tell you that irregular action of tho heart, or nerv- ous excitement preceding the sleep. or abnormal blood pressure may produce this uncanny feeling. N is never to be classed as . dream, even though 1t be followed, even in immediate success sion, by dream pictures
 The fall of the soul" however, oc- CUTS in the midst of dO0p slumh0r and as a dream differs from others prin- cipally because it creates tho som blance of involuntary motion which is absent in all but . few dreams croa- tions. It docs not okton como In 0n abrupt manner. Most likely 1t will follow as the climax of 8 breathless experience, such as the ascent of . mountain. m aeroplAne ride. . trip In B balloon or the climbing of many stairs. When it follows any of these or similar incidents 1t always bodes good luck, no matter how much fright enod you may seem to be. Never call 1t a nightmare" 1t is anything but that. It belongs into the class of which the poet has said:

THREW FLOWERS AND GEMS London Crowd Benefited by Woman's Enthusiasm Over the Ending
 of the Great War.

During the peace rejoicings one night in London several guests stand ing at the upper windows of a West End restaurant began to throw roses down to the crowds packed in the street below. A woman in evening dress, after throwing out numbers of roses, took a bracelet from her arm and tossed 1t to the people, following this with a ring from her finger. Then, after throwing more roses, she took the ornaments from her hair and threw these also into the strug gling mass of people below.
 An elderly man at an adjoining win. dow threw out several spoons and forks, and then, finding nothing else al hand, threw an apple which was delft. ly caught and promptly returned striking the window close by, but, for tunately, without breaking the glass
 The women then began to throw out treasury notes, wadding them into small balls and flinging them one by one to the excited crowd. After get. tirg rid of seven or ei2tt notes, she expressively spread out her hands tc indicate that she had nothing more and was loudly cheered.

IMPROVED ROADS
LARGER REVENUE FOR ROADS
Tendency Toward DeVoting Increased Portion of Motor Vehicles Tax
 to Highways.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 For number of years the general tendency toward devoting an ever-in- creaSing portion of the mOtOr-vehicle revenues to road work under the control and direct supervision of the state highway departments has been very noticeable. Prior to 1912 only a very small portion of the mOtor-vehicle registration was devoted to this purpose. In 1920, 76 per cent of the revenue, or 77,531, ,582, ,57, was applied to road work under the direct super vision of the state highway depart ments, and in addition $2O,465, ,57S.O4 was applied to road work by counties or other local supervision, but with little or no direct supervision from the state highway departments.
 In most states the motOr-vehicle revenues are devoted to maintenance and repair of the state roads or other improved highways. These states seem to have solved fairly we'll the difficult problem of securing funds for the maintenance of the more i'm pOrtant roads under the ever-increasing traffic requirements. AS both the traffic and the revenues increase with the number of cars, there apparently exists a possibility of so adjusting the registration rates as to keep pace with the ever-grOwing maintenance charges.
 A number of the states having in general but a small mileage of i'm proved roads have recently adopted the plan Of capitalizing the motor vehicle revenues and deyoting these funds to road construction. The states doing this are Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. In them bonds have been voted or issued for road con structiOn, and the principal, in some instances also the interest, is to be paid entirely from the motor-vehicle revenue.
 At the beginning of 1921 there were still seven states in which motor trucks were registered at the same rate as passenger cars, but in recent years there has been a very decided tendency in most states to increase the fees required for motor trucks over and above those required for passenger cars. This increase is usually based on the weight of the truck and its carrying capacity, its hOrse-DOWpr or a combination Of theSa factors. The most general practice seems to be toward definitely limiting the maximum total road weight of the vehicle and passing the registration fee

on the capacity oi the truck. Some few states have adopted a scale of fees, which in actual practice serves to make the operation of very heavy trucks impracticable
 In Colorado, New York, and Oregon, in addition to the registration fees, a state tax on gasoline or other products used for the propulsion of motor vehicles is also levied. In some states motor cars are taxed as personal property in addition to the required registration fees. In Alabama, Dela- ware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Carolina, Penn sylvania, Tennessee, and Vermont, the registration fees are in lieu of all personal property taxes.
