Says That Women's Clothes Are So Abbreviated
The Moths Are Starving to Death
By JOHN r. MEDBURY.

The dress reformers don't object
to the clothes that the girls are
wearing. All they ask II that the
girls wear more Of them.
It's all right to wear late clothes,
but some OF them are too tardy.
It's nice for the girls to be pstri-
otic, but there's no sense In them
wearing their skirts half mast.
When the women were wearing
long skirts that dragged on the
ground. the germs used to be able
to ride to wherever they were go
Ing.
Now tho germs have TO walk.
Before 4 germ can set on q
woman's skirt these days he has to
practice Jumping.
II It's true that the girls put all
OF their salary on their backs, then
most Of them must be out OF Job.
Small coats are also In style and
some OF the coats are 30 small that

DISTRICT SUNDAY SCHOOL.
interesting Convention Held at Con
zales High School Last Sunday.
Gonzales, La, Aug. II, 1921

Gonzales, La, Aug. II, 1921.
The Sunday School Convention
held here last Sunday, proved a great
success, owing to the kindly coop
Grafton of the leading citizens of
Gonzales. 1t is trusted it may prove
a blessing and uplift to this growing
little town.
Live topics were discussed in ear
nest as we'll as experience in the
Orient given by Mr.. Van Garter and
Miss Juden, who recently attended
the Worlds Sunday School Conven-
ton in Japan. Other speakers OF
the convention were: Mrs. E. P. Dali
gle on "Activities of an Adult Bible
Class" Miss Grand Williams on the
"Children's Work." H. L. Baker of
Plattenville told "Why he Believed In
and Supported the Interdenomina-
tional Sunday School Work" Mrs. G.
C. Williams followed him on the same
subject. Later she discussed Gods
Financial Plan of supporting His
Work." and had Mr.. Van Carter take
up free will offering to cover the
expense of the convention.
The music committee of which Hy.
Mccoy was chairman, greatly assist
ed in making the convention a sue
cess. Lunch and hot coffee afforded
social recess between the morning
feast following the afternoon session
and afternoon sessions. A melon feast
4 gave another social hour which. all
seemed to enjoy.
Resolutions were adopted before
the convention closed. The most i'm
portant of which was that of appoint
ing a committee to visit the leglsla-
ture in September to use their eff
forts to have law enacted at once
to help enforce national prohibition.
Resolutions thanking the citizens of
Gonzales for their beautiful Chris
tan spirit Of cooperation were
adopted with another resolution for
a union picnic in September.
An important part of each session
was the devotional at which prayer
was made and Gods word read, as
follows: First session, on thanksgiv-
ing to God; second session, Romans
on salvation; third session, Romans
on Christian living.
The same officers were reelected
with the addition of Mrs. Eddie Con
zales to the young peoples depart
ment.

A CASE CELEBRE.
Petty Justice of Peace Case Finds
Way to Supreme Cuort.

The case of Harriet White VS.. Lou
lisa Allen Louis, filed originally be-
fore Judge Louis Mollere of Port
Barrow, in the second ward justice of
the peace court, and being suit to
recover certain movables consisting
of furniture and household goods
valued at about $40, has found its
way into the supreme court of the
state. When the case was tried be-
fore the justice of the peace, judg-
ment was rendered in favor of plain
tiff, awarding her the custody Of the
goods in controversy. Defendant an
pealed to the district court, which
tribunal, after hearing, reversed the
award of the justice of the peace and
rendered judgment in favor of de-
PENDANT, which judgment was sub
sequently amended in some minor
particular. The plaintiff, feeling ag-
grieved at the district courts decision
applied to the supreme court for al
tentative writs Of certiorari, prohibit
ton and mandamus, which writs were
granted in an order signed by AS
sociate Justice Winston Overton on
August 9. The order directs the dis
trict Judge, Hon. Sam A. Leblanc,
to transmit the record in the case to
the higher court, in order that the
validity of the proceedings may be
ascertained and in the meantime to
take no further action until further
orders of the supreme Tribunal.
Harriet White, the plaintiff, in
whose behalf application was made
to the court of last resort for the
writs in question, is represented by
Judge Edmund Maurin, while the in
terests of the defendant, Louisa AL
len Louis, are looked after by John
3. Martin.

REPUBLICANS CUT TAXES.
Leaders Agree to Reduction of $500,
100000 in Burdens.

It is reported from Washington
that at a conference between the
president, secretary of the treasury
and Republican leaders Of the house,
held in Washington a few days ago,
reductions aggregating $7O0,000,000
in taxes and $520,000,0 200 in govern
ment expenditures for this fiscal year
were agreed upon.
Specific tax reductions agreed up
on are as follows: Repeal of the ex-
cess profit tax, retroactive to Jan. l,
1921, $450,000,O00. Repeal of one
half of the transportation tax, eff
fective next January l, S130,OO0,O 1000.

retroactive to last January, 100000
600. Repeal of the so-called nui-
sance and clothing luxury tax, $780,
100000.
As an offset to this enormous re-
duction, it was decided to increase
the income tax on corporations by
about 2 1-2 per cent instead of 5
per cent, as heretofore proposed eff
fective January last, to yield about
100000.
Ali new taxes proposed by Secre-
tary Mellon last week will be aban-
doned, including a license tax on au-
tomobiles, bank check tax and an
increase of one cent in first-class pos
tage.
The ways and means committee
formally decided to repeal the exist
ing soda fountain and ice cream tax
and several of the present taxes on
wearing apparel.
