Seattle Girls Defy Fashion.

For once the daughters of Eve are
going to disobey Dame Fashion. Ac-
cording to the lady at the beauty par
lor, who really is an authority on such
matters, that capricious and rather
tyrannical leader is going to be badly
flouted.
OF course it should be recognized as
an historical event because women are
usually believed to be the slaves Of
Fashion.
But, as 1 heard one man say, you
never can tell what women will do
now they have the vote" Neverthe-
less, think you'll agree that women
were justified in going on strike"
so to speak, when you hear about this
decree.
You see that allegorical-or meta
phorical = person called Mode" or
style" sent out a decree to the world
of womankind worded in something
like this manner: Brush back your
beautiful locks and display to the four
winds of the world your ears" And
that meant all ears, whether they were
shell pink or not, should be shown
Of course, fashion sent out more
DEGREES for the coming season. For
instance, your hair, to be strictly "a
la mode'-which has nothing to do,
kind reader, with ice cream or pie
should have a touch of auburn in its
depths-7just light or two that will
dance and simmer under the light
AS to the manner of dressing this
reddish glory, it should be tilted just
little higher Than usual over the
brow. Curls--c1uster and punches OF
dainty, coquettish ones, are quite the
thing
Now these are reasonable DEGREES
and women accepted them with their
usual obedience, but they had to draw
the line on tyranny somewhere and
when the order came to display the
ears, to brazenly f1aunt them to the
world, the order was righteously
spurned.

Home Affairs and:Matters ~
interesting to Women !, -.

She told Brooklyn congregation
that all the low-necked and sleeveless
gowns, the short skirts and gauzy
stockings were outgrowths of mans
schemes for gain.
For selfish and mercenary purposes,
she declared, man had forced women
out half clad before the public gaze to
become the object of unkind remarks
and criticisms.
The barred neck, she asserted, was
nothing less than a trick of the fur
r1er and the jeweler.
The length of the skirt, the amount
OF material to be used in her gowns,
whether her neck should be bare OF
her sleeves long, were subjects woman
never was consulted about, she de-
clared.

Far Eastern Women Want Education,

CHICAGO. = A desire for woman's
higher education is sweeping over the
orient; the girls of India, China and
Japan are asking for better prepare
lion for life, according to Mrs. Mar
ray Frame of Yenching college, Pc
king, who has just completed tour
OF the United States in the interest OF
better education for women in the
Orient.
Within the last few years, seven
colleges for women have made their
beginning in the Far East, according
to Mrs Frame. Five of them are arts
colleges and two medical, she states.
They are located as follows: Two In
India, at Lucknow in the north and at
Madras in the SOUTH two in China,
one in the northern capital, Peking,
the other in the old southern capital,
Marking; one in Tokyo, the capital of
Japan. The two medical schools are
in Vellore, India and Picking, China
Last winter, when North China was
in the strangle-hold of that terrible
famine" Mrs. Frame states, students
of Yenching (Peking) college gave
Maeterlinck's The Bluebird,' in Chi
nese, through which they raised $500
for the sufferers. Then a small troup
excused temporarily from college and
went out into the nearest famine re-
gion to investigate. They found such
numbers of poor little girls, either de-
serted to die, or about to be sold by
their desperate parents into life of
shame, that they begged the use of
two Buddhist temples to serve as a
haven There they cared for over two
hundred famine victims through the
long winter months, other girls in the
college secured money and clothing,
and coming in relays for two weeks at
time to help in the work. Among
other ways of raising money the girls
gave Merchant of Venice in Chinese.
"Are the girls ready for these op-
portunities? Every year they come in
eager groups, many of them several
days journey, to enter this land of
their dreams. But every year many
must be turned sadly away for lack of
room. A year ago 178 applicants came
for admission to the medical college at
Vellore. Only % could be received.
One hundred-fifty would-be medical
workers for the suffering womanhood
of India were turned away for lack of
room.
What is happening il the schools
of Japan is Of more Importance to
mankind today than what is happen
ing in her dock yards"

1t will be seen in the above that
an increase of $500 in income in
creased the tax 5000. In such case
the law provides that the tax shall
be increased not more than the
amount of net income in excess of
$4,000 Therefore, the tax in case
B will be reduced to $105
In addition to the normal tax, there
shall be levied, collected and paid
for each taxable year upon the net
income of every individual surtax
calculated at different percentages for
different amounts of net income. The
surtax is actually an additional tax,
being levied in addition to the normal
ak, and is referred to as either addi
.ional tax or surtax.

The Truth About The
Railroads.

Howard Elliott, chairman of the
Northern Pacific, appeared before
the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce as one of the chief witness
es for the railroads, and undertook
to show by charts and tables of stats
tics that "the return on railroad IN
vestment has been shrinking since
1916. until 1920 it is a very small
sum indeed"
Mr.. Elliott told the Committee that
in 1920 the railroads had only SOL
1885, available to pay interest and
dividends and make betterments and
improvements out of surplus.
Even that, he said, did not tell the
full story, because in 1920 the roads
had received from the government
back pay to the amount of S64 ,5OS. 26O
for carving the mails during the
years 1918 and 1919. Without this
back mail paw, Mr.. Elliott assured the
Committee. there would have been
"a slight deficit"
Mr.. Elliott's statements were car
ried all over the country and were
given unusual prominence in the
news and editorial columns of the
newspapers.
The amazing extent to which M,
Elliott twisted the facts was revealed

bv DR.. Farnk J. Warne, the noted
economist. when he told the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce
that 'the railroads had in 1918, 1919
and 1920 larger returns TO apply to
their investment than in any othe:
wears Of their history with the single
exceptions of 1916 and 1917"
The return on investment receiy-
ed bv the railroads in 1920 was $685.
633.049. instead of SCI 1925, 626. as re-
ported by Mr.. Elliott.
It was 6,524,4 92 in each of the
wears 1919 and 1918, and not $454,-
g84 1853 and S63S, 56s,60S respectively,
as stated by Mr.. Elliott in the charts
and tables of figures which he submit
ted to the Senada Committee.
Mr.. Elliott told the Senate Com
mittee that the proportion of income
going to railroad investment in 1920
was one cent out of each dollar re-
ceived. AS matter of fact. it was
ia cents.
IN 1919 capital received 1862 cents
out OF every dollar. instead of S.S
as claimed by Mr. Elliott.
Mr.. Elliott stated to the Committee
that SCI ,92S, 626 was not only all that
was "available to pay interest and
dividends" in 1920. but It also repre-
scented what the railroads had avail
able to make bettements and i'm
provements and out of surplus"
The truth is, as DR.. Warne showed
from official reports, that the rail
roads expended more for better
ments and improvements" in 1920
than in any other year in their his
tory.
It is true that the expenditures
we're not made "out of surplus" but
they were made out of the money re-
ceived by the railroads, and which
never had chance to get into the
surplus account because it had been
spent before that stage of booking
was reached.

statements on this point were out of
line with the facts, DR.. Warne poined
