HAS MADE NEW PROFESSION
Philadelphia Woman Makes Excellent
Living Arranging Details for ANA
teur Entertainments.

A pin-money career, for one Phila-
delphia woman. was the outcome of
her refusal to drill some children for
an Easter program. On previous oc-
casions she had thrust upon her" the
responsibility Of planning and prepar-
ing various kinds of entertainments,
home-talent plays, cantatns, etc, for
different organizations. AS this work
required much time and strength, she
was offered remuneration for her serv-
ices and accepted the money. Now
she has work ahead in that line all the
year round. She assumes the RESPONSE
bility Of miscellaneous programs, plays.
etc, for all ages, for Sunday schools,
lodges clubs, etc. She arranges time
and place Of practice. and assigns
parts to each one in drills. plays, dia-
'ogues, cantata. solo, duet. quartette,
chorus. etc. Superintendent in the
schools often call on her to help IN
such lines. and various organizations
Of the city. Much of the work, as the
practicing, is done in her own home.
She receives from 20 to 40 cents an
hour. Free-will offerings from
church organization have also been
generous, as the manner of paying her.

FOR SAFETY IN AIR TRAVEL.
Elaborate Devices THat Are iUr der
Consideration by British Experts
In Aviation. -.-

Three new fog devices TO overcome
the drawbacks Of mist and fogs to air.
men are stated to be under discussion
by British authorities. The first con-
sists of the ''laying along the route
truversed by the airway Of powerful
ly charged electrical cable. This auto
matically sends up into the air con-
stant series Of signals" BY keeping his
machine In such !; position that the
strength of the signals is kept constant
the airmnn is assured that he is flying
along the cable line. The second
makes for safety in landing when the
ground is not visible, and consists of a
wire, with weight attached, which IS
lowered from beneath the machine ;
when the weight touches the earth
the airman learns that it is time to
"tlatten out" his machine. The third
is called the "artiticial horizon.' 1t
is "a gyroscopIc instrument which
shows an artificial horizon line always
in front of the pilot and enables him
to detect instantly when his machine
Is heeling over too much sidewise in
its relation to the real horizon, which
Is temporarily invisible. a tiny mod
ell airplane poised above the artificial
horizon line mimics precisely the move
ments of his own machine.

In for some criticism. for among the
things she is eXhOrted to cultivate are

the chief thing about good dressing is
to to wear clean clothing. Another

Slow In Paying State Taxes.

State ta~es are being paid extremely
slowly throughtslt South Carolina, ac-
cording to records OF Sam T. Carter,
state treasurer. Up to January 5 the
treasurer had received only $95, 1856. .39
OF 1921 taxes on total assessment of
$5,429,SS7.20
This amount Is decrease over the
sum received last year up to the cor
responding date, January g.. Through
the close OF 1920. December 81, a to-
tai of $72S.914.63 had been received
and for the first five days OF 1872, a
total OF 595,S41.S9 was received on
1920 taxes.
For the first five days of 1922 total
OF $460,3S2.75 has been received on
1921 taxes. The tax books are open
from October Is to December 81 and
then penalty of per cent is added.
According to the figures Of Mr.. Car
ter. the people of the state are not
rushing to pay taxes. Mr.. Carter said
that the amount received so far on
1921 taxes was about &c per cent of
the figure received on the same date
last year.
Last year the time for paying taxes
was extended by the legislature and
1t Is understood that a lot OF people
think an extension will be granted this
year. good deal OF confusion and
Inconvenience was caused last year
by the extension, according to state
officials.

IRISH TREATY IS

CLOSE VOTE. IS

.. Subject Of Speculation.

Dublin. - The treaty creating the
Irish Free State was ratified by the
Dali Eireann. BY majority Of seven
votes, "a to 81. the Dali, gave its ap-
proval to the document signed by its
delegates at London.
Coincidentally, Eamonn de Valera
announced his resignation from the
presidency OF the Irish republic.
The news was received with the
greatest enthusiasm, and the patient
crowds. which had waited for hours
outside the university building, in an.
ticipation. OF decision. burst into
cheering, even before the official fig.
ures were announced.
Ratification of the treaty came after
day Of intense excitement and heated
controversy. Although the result was
as had been expected, the majority in
favor Of the agreement was greater
than had been counted on almost up
to the last minute.
A tense. strained silence prevailed
while the vote was being taken, and
gasp OF relief went up from the sup.
porters OF the treaty when the result
was announced. "A dramatic scene en-.
sued, when de Valera stood up and in
broken voice, which vibrated with
emotion, declared that "the republic"
must be carried on.
After voting ratification of the
treaty the Dali Eireann adjourned un.
til Monday. Before adjournment was
taken Eamonn de Valera, having an.
nounced his resignation from the pres
idency. asked that the members as.
sociated with him should meet him
at the Mansion House
Michael Collins protested against
the calling OF such a partisan gather.
ing, whereupon Mr. de Valera rose to
Insist on 1t. but broke down ana re.
sumed his seat amid hearty applause
The situation at the adjournment of
the Dali appeared to remain chaotic
The Dali will meet on Monday and
there Is no disposition revealed by de
Valera and his followers to abandon
the factional struggle.
The future control of the Irish re.
publican army is the subject of anx.
ious comment and speculation. as
Charles Burgess, who strongly op.
posed the treaty. is the minister Of
defense.
So far as the the public Is concern
ed, Dublin seems delighted over rati-
fication. Arthur Griffith and his col
leagues on emerging from>the parlia.
ment were wildly cheered and the city
was in jubilant spirits.
