London, Dec. 22.-(By the Associ-
atcd Press.)-When the Dali Eireann
adjourned in Dublin late yesterday
20 members had given their views on
the Irish peace treaty since debate
was opened last Monday on the mo-
ton for ratification. OF these, fifteen
favored the treaty, thirteen vert
against it. while Patrick McCarten.
known as first ambassador of the
Irish republic" to the United States
declared his neutrality.
How many of the remaining ninety.

right to be heard is not known. but
the prospects of an early vote are NOT
regarded here as very favorable.

If this is found necessary to insure
termination of debate before Christ

Longevity and Husbands.

Mrs. Maria E. Wilson Of Pittsburgh has just
celebrated her 102nd birthday. She declares
that she is the oldest woman in Pittsburgh be-
cause her conscience never troubled her and
because she married but once. One husband in
lifetime Is enough for one woman, says Mrs
Wilson. She was, however left widow at g.
Husbands at that time were not nearly so use
full and were much more self-assertive and
wearing than they are today. At that time
they insisted more having their way. But
they were tolerated by the more purposeful,
persistent and practical sex because they were
needed to help fill the family market basket.
But the necessity for keeping a husband for
merely material reasons is going by women
now being tempted with an ever-increasing as
sortment Of ways OF earning livings for them
selves. That is why one may imagine that
masculine foolishness is less endured than for
merly, and consequently there is large a
husband turnover as there is.
We don't know whether or not Mrs. Wilson
is philosopher and humorist; If she is,
and carries in mind the reel of the human
comedy that has unrolled before her since she
was bride in her teens, she must often smile
inwardly.

An effort to establish the whipping post in
Maryland as part of the punitive system for
men convicted Of crimes and msdemeanors is
vigorously opposed by the warden OF the Mary
land state penitehtiary, who has had ample
opportunity to observe the effects of different
punishInents. The warden believes the indie
terminate sentence is the answer to the ques-
ton of protection for society against the habit
ual criminal, view that is supported prob
ably by the majority of all who have given IL
thought. There are men who can be infiu-
enced only by the lash, the warden admits,
bnt they are SO few that the situation would
remain practically unchanged. man seldom
II ever thinks of punishment when committing
q crime, according to the warden, and possible
fear OF a flashing would not change that
worst punishment he can receive, is the con-
'clusion of the warden. He says there isn't a
man in the Maryland penitentiary who is not
almost crazily anxious to gain his liberty. The
law permits the penitentiary warden to whip
prisoners as a measure Of discipline, yet he
finds that the worst offenders are brought un-
der control easier and better and quicker by
simply depriving them OF the liberty they are
permitted in the prison. This he considers
another reason for preferring the indeterminate
sentence to the whipping post. The worst pun
ishment is that which the prisoner fears most
and that the warden believes to be loss of
freedom

Dedication of trees as memorials, particu-
larly In the case OF fallen soldiers is happy
custom that is growing throughout the country.
In an age that is supposed to be surrendered
to commercialism, and to be given to consider
ing even the appropriation of monument in
terms of its cost, the new tendency is the more
welcome as a reinsurance of the survival of
fine taste and knowledge of the impressiveness
OF simplicity. Nothing, unless it were noun
tain peak, is so admirably designed by Nature
to serve as a monument to a man. This is
true, above all, for the reason that trees, like
men, have individualities-the person with i'm
agination will even say PERSONAL---VERY. their
own. No two by any possibility can be identi-
cal, an advantage for memorial purposes that
sets them above any pile of granite that can
be conceived.
It was not by chance that many primitive
peoples evolved religions that ascribed spirits
to trees. and in some cases identified them as
persons compelled by some enchanter to stand,
rooted In one spot. 1t was, rather, because
IL is natural for man, contemplating a great
tree, to be impressed by its mystery, and to be
conscious OF its personality. Long, long after

her husband and sentenced her to IT years in

that the woman killed only after her own life
had been threatened. She is the second woman
convicted OF murder in the history of Cook

Failure to abolish the "nuisance" taxes, in-
GLIDING the unreasonable tax on transporta-
ton, and the contrary anticipation OF still other
specific excuses will constitute the chief source
of dissatisfaction with the federal taxation pro-
gram as it is tentatively outlined.
There has been little real expectation
that general income taxation could be reduced
at the present time. Until the war debt of the
nation shall be amortized to a much larger
extent, taxation must be burdensome as COM
pared with the normal peace levy, and no mat
ter what revision shall be made. the customs
tariff cannot bear any considerable part of the
additional load. The extraordinary stamp taxes
continued long time after the Civil war; and
the income tax is the proper means of supply
ing like revenue service-that is, unless a
general sales tax shall be introduced and that
has not made such Roadway in overcoming pop
ular prejudice. But with the income tax func-
tioning and the policy of economy cutting down
expenses. the Republican administration has
been expected to do away with some OF the
petty taxes which are annoying and which,
moreover, are collectable with considerable
difficulty
withdrawal of the excess profits tax ana a
REIMBURSEMENT of the higher classihcations of
income tax will be of general benefit in their
tendency to restore normal conditions for bust
ness and to induce the return of investment
capital to the usual channels OF industry and
trade In the betterment of business which
will follow the public at largs will share. and
there should be some reduction in prices for
the consumer as result.
But these are indirect benefits for the aver
age man, and will not be easily recognized
would the removal of his tax his railroad
ticket his theatre or baseball admission, on
the silk shirt he sports in summer, or the
fanciful things in which his wife INDUCES
and which he has to pay luxury tax, al
though it may be only little beyond the line
of necessity. Financially such taxes may not
be OF serious consequences to anyones pocket
book. Psychologically they are an irksome
burden and a cause Of continual grumbling.

Q. What is the income from the
Panama canal and the expense of
keeping it up? A P. W.
A. The average yearly income of
the Panama canal is $3.50, 900.
The receipt from tolls from the
date of it's opening to July 1, 1920,
was $3S,350,04S. During the same
period the cost of operating and
maintaining it was $36,771, ATS.
Whether the Panama canal will
pay for itself depends upon COM
merce in the future.
Q. How much do the justices of
the supreme court receive? A. B.
A. The salary of the chief Justice
of the United States is $4,000 a
year, while each associate justice
receives $14,500.
@. What is the lightest gas
known? F.O. C.
A. The bun eau of standards says
that hydrogen occurs in the at
mosphere to some extent This is
the lightest gas known: The sec
ond lightest gas, helium, also oc-
ours in small amounts. Nitrogen
is the lightest gas occurring in suf-
fcient quantity to materially effect
the density of the air.
@. Are there any labor adjust
ment boards now similar to those
established by the United States
railroad administration? S. B.
A. The transportation act of 1920
provided for the establishment of
adjustment boards by agreement be-
tween railroad management and
railway workers. To date, however,
none has been established, the rail-
way management holding out for
local boards while the workers
have insisted upon having national
boards also if any are created.
@. What will remove mercury
from old mirrors? N. s.
A. The bureau of standards saws
nitric acid should be used to re-
move the old mercury from old mir
rors only if they were made In the
lays when tin amalgam was used.

The "Newzine" was a cross between

produced other things besides plum
cots His name was already fam
| Gus. Jefferson Martin didn't, and
his name wasn't. He was also
nearly broke.
HiIdreth Mason was one of a
small minority. She read the New

majority. She didn't like her job.
Not liking her job, she was keep

other, and she was saving some
money-$90 or more.
One day her boss sent her on
some errands. One of the errands
took her to an obscure little build
ing in an obscure little corner of
Boston. There in an obscure little
Office she met Jefferson Martin.
After attending to her errand
Hildreth remained to talk to Jeffer-

Of a man. While talking, Hildreth

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Impure Blood.

Are face eruptions caused by i'm
pure blood? wv. B. g.
F Answer-No. That is an old myth
propagated by the old time charla-
tans who had what they alleged to
be blood purifiers" to dispose of.
OF course, no known medicine can
be said to purify the blood, or TO
drive impurities out of the blood
in any way. In the great majority
of cases of skin disease affecting the
face, the patients blood is perfect
ly pure. In the majority of cases
of known impurity of the blood
there is no face eruption what
ever. Therefore, whoever speaks of
impure blood as evidenced by an
eruption about the face betrays ig-
norance or dishonesty or both. This
is a blow at a very firmly set popu-
lar fallacy. 1 acknowledge, but It
is the only answer. l can conscien-
tiOusly make to your question.
Thousands of young persons have
pimples about the face, although
their blood is perfectly pure. Thou
sands of persons with syphilis never
show any eruption or rash about
the face
Not Following a But.
You say you are no kind OF
patty. Then what are you, if one
may ask? One likes to know what
kind of advice they are receiving.
1 make guess that you are OF the
Electic school. 1 know from your
article that you understand your
business, anyway. MRS. d. L. 81
Answer-Just a doctor, no 'pathy,
rut or school. A doctor of person
a! health, if there were such a title.
Perhaps it is sufficient to say that
1 belong to the regulars. Aside from
this l try to lead a clean, upright
life.
Fever Blisters.
I am bothered with fever blisters
in my mouth, sometimes having as
many as three at one time. Can
you tell me the cause and anything
1 can do to prevent them? &c. P. NJ
Answer-These very painful ul-
GERS or canker sores are probably
due to focal infections about the
gums, teeth, tonsils or nasal sin
uses, and are sometimes excited by
injuries of the mucous membrane
made by the toothbrush. The more
I know about the common bathtub
the less respect I have for the in
dividual toothbrush. Aside from the
proper treatment of the septic focus,
touch each canker once day with
half iodine and half glycerin.
