clock was unveiled and handed to
Mrs. f. S. Kitchin, who placed it on
the mantle. Mrs. Nelson responded
in a fitting manner for the circle.
She then read a letter from Mrs.
Eta Worthng of Worcester, Mass,
who for many years served most eff
ficiently as president of the society.
This contained most interesting
history of the circle. A fine picture
of her was hung on the wall, a gift
from Mrs. Worthing. In memory of
the old academy days, "Auld Lang
Syne" was sung.
The following ladies presented the
farce, How the Story Crew." which
proved very amusing: Mrs. G. A.
Worthing, Mrs. Flora Clark. Mrs.
Gardiner Illsley, Mrs. H. w. Worth
ing. Mrs. l.. r. Nelson, Mrs. H. L.
Pinkham. Mrs. c. A. Worthing and
Mrs. Dean Estes. The program closed
by singing, God be With You Till
we Meet Again" The guests were
shown over the building. A social
timeY enjoyed and games played.
Among those present were several
who attended the old academy, a
few charter members of the Good
Templars lodge. This society dates
back to the early sixties. 1t was in
teresting to note that among those
present were two children. little Miss
Eleanor Bailey whose great-great-
grandmother. Mrs. Polly Spiller
and great-great- grandmother, Mrs.
Harrison Worthing. were members.
Also Walter Worthing, whose great
great grandmother, Mrs. David
Worthing. was member.

LOCAL BUILDING
LOAN ASSOCIATION
TAKES BIG JUMP

Few building and loan societies can
boast as rapid or extensive a growth
as that of the Hawthorne Club, the
employees home financing organiza-
ton maintained by the workers or
the local plant of the Western Elec-
trio Company. In the two short years
of it's existence this society, managed
entirely by the rank and file of the
big electrical plant, has forged ahead
until today it boasts a membership
of 1891 and total assets of S271, $50,
all invested in property of Chicago
and it's immediate suburbs. 4, Il
According to it's second annual re-
port the association has increased its
membership during the past twelve
months from 979 to the present figure
and it's outstanding shares from II. 440
to 25,915. The present assets represent
an increase of s16S,2O6 during the ifs
cal year just finished -
The Hawthorne Building and Loan
Association has beeprated very highly
by the Illinois State Inspectors. And
despite its comparative youth it has
been accepted as model by many OF
the other industrial employee home

TOO MANY TAXES

Taxes are easily piled on the people
by the tax eaters.
The U. S. Government.
The State of Illinois.
The County of Cook.
The City of Chicago.
The Sanitary District of Chicago.
The Indistinct Towns,
The Park Commissioners.
The Contractors Union.
The Public Works Grafters.
The Boulevard Plunderers.
The Bridge Builders.
The Board of Local improvements,
and long line of linked tax grabbers
are taking up and sailing away huge
sums of the hard earned money of the
people.
George c.. Gale, chairman of the rev.
enue committee of the constitutional
convention, asks every citizen of the
state to figure up his or her tax bills
in terms of time put in at desk or
factory bench as we'll as in terms of
actual money He said:
Local taxes in Chicago are becom-
ing almost confiscatory and if the tax
rate is increased the cost or govern
ment will be back on a war basis. 9th
er institutions are returning to nor
NAL, pre-war basis. If the tax rate is
increased here to the point the city is
asking it will tend to drive industry
from the city, it will make capital un-
willing to hazard investments, it will
injure the city.
"a tax increase such as the city is
asking from the legislature will en-
courage the same kind of ex-
travagance that now exists in the case
of the bond issues the citizens voted
for public improvements. In that case
responsible officials have said 20 per
cent will be spent for experts and at
torneys, leaving 80 per cent or less to
be used for the purpose the voters had
in mind. Unless a halt is called peo-
pie will attempt to shirk or dodge their
tayne''

HAPPY IN THEIR IGNORANCE
Tribe of South American Indians Don't Know Meaning of the Words
 Ivory" or "Care"

No one with authority, no apparent government, no ceremonies, no relig- ion, carefree people, always smiling, jolly, with nothing to be jolly about. These are some of the main character istics of a newly discovered pygmy race of naked red-skinned South Amer ican Indians, four feet high, who in habit the mountain border of Colombia and Venezuela.
 Details of this strange tribe are given in the Worlds Work by George P. Busch, who, with a party of oil prospectors, were the first white men with the exception of a Spanish padre-ever seen by the tribe.
 Of the world outside they know nothing and have no curiosity.
 The bow and arrow is their only weapon, carried by the men wher- ever they go, because they never go anywhere except to get food. Wading into the water, they wait for fish to hover near; like flash, they pierce 1t with an arrow.

IMPROVED ROADS
GOOD ROAD SAVES MILLIONS
Threatened Break in levee and Stop Rising Waters.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 A federal-aid road has just been con- pleted in Arkansas which has already saved millions of dollars to the con- munity in which 1t is built. Recently during high water in the Mississippi word came to Helena, Ark, that the levee at Old Town, 17 miles away, was about to break. The situation was critical. A few hours delay and thousands of acres of rich farming land would be flooded, and possibly many lives lost. Helena was the only source of aid, and many men with tools and material were needed. Every available motor vehicle was pressed into service and over GOO men, prop erly equipped for the work, were in short time speeding over the new road to save the levee. They arrived in the nick of time and by almost super human efforts damned back the ris- ing waters. Residents say that had 1t been necessary to make the trip over the old road the levee could not have been reached in time and that the workers would have needed boats rather than motor vehicles.

figure while they preserve the slender silhouette. Embroidered linens and crepes are even more simply designed than their printed rivals, but simplic- ity is characteristic of frocks made from all fabrics having large, all-over printed or embroidered figures.
 Costume suits make use of the same printed materials when the pattern shows figures smaller and colors lit- tie more sedate. The printed silk Is used for long overblouse, worn with a plain. wool skirt, and cape or, per haps, a coat, of wool like the skirt, lined with silk like that in the blouse. But dresses insure hot weather com fort and many of them show con- binati0ns of printed and plain silks, as in the two models pictured. In the dress at the left, a refreshing affair in black and white has a bodice and gir- dle in white and a skirt in black and white foulard. Tan and light blue crepe make summery combination in the frock at the right, with bodice and girdle in the plain color. The girdle Is finished with long silk fringe.
 Both these dresses indicate that de- signers are experimenting with high

One Never Knows.

A man and wife, new acquaintances of ours, called one evening. In the course of our conversation told about my new twin nieces. I said I thought twins were cunning when they were little, but that would hate to be one, for thought a twin lacked individual ity and could not make much out of himself.
 Our callers both laughed, and the man said: "We do not consider 1t as bad as that, do we, Mary? We each happen to be one of twins"
 I hastened to explain that did not know much about twins.-Chicago Tribune

LOWER BIDS FOR ROAD WORK
Indications Are That Prices This Year Will Be Materially Reduced Over
 Last Season.

(Prapared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 Early bids for the construction of federal-aid roads indicate that prices during the present season will be materially lower than last season, ac cording to reports received by the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. While bids have not been received on any large volume of work, there is, however, enough to indicate lower level of prices.
 Grading has been bid at 20, 23k and 30 cents a cubic yard in Missouri. Arkansas, and Minnesota, respectively, as compared with an average of 8 cents for the section in which these states are located in 1921.
 Prices of reinforcing steel in place range around 6 cents as compared with

CANVAS TO PROTECT ROADS
Seven Million Square Yards Being Distributed to Various State High
 way Departments.

Seven million square yards of canvas duck received by the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, as surplus war material, is now being distributed to state high way departments for use in road con- struction. A great quantity of the material will be used to protect con- crete roads from the sun while they are being cured and to protect from rain cement piled ready for use on the roads. It will also be used as tents for road construction gangs, roofs for temporary storage houses and garages, and to cover road machinery.
