bers Of the house ways and means
committee thought eight special taxes
would turn the trick, but every element
Of the population that would be d.
rectly affected by them raised an i'm

Republican leaders appealed 10 Pres
ident Harding to suggest something
feasible, and he undertook to do so on
Thursday. But what should his plan
be but the same old general sales tax
proposition which II has been admitted
by nearly everyone cannot possibly get
through congress-! Because this was
his only plan, and because he also
criticized the plan Of providing for the
payments of cash bonuses In Install
ments over a period of two and half
years, II was assumed by many In
Washington that the President really
wished the bonus legislation again
postponed. though he hesitated to say
so fatty. The situation was plainly
uncomfortable for the Republicans,
and the Democrats were jOyously TAX
ing every advantage Of the discomfl-
ture OF their adversaries. The leaders
Of the agricultural bloc in both the
house and the senate reiterated their
unqualified opposition TO any kind OF
general sales tax.
Some OF the Republican leaders
strongly favored the passage of a
house bill without any plan Of financing.
They thought the necessary money
might be made available by further re-
duction Of appropriations for certain
departments. especially the army and
navy. Mr. Mondell prepared state

even that would not be sufficient. and
many congressman urged again the is

s3O0,OO0,OOO In appropriations, could
be made up by issuing short term GER

asserted the market would readily ab-

tary Mellon declare that big bond

extensive refunding operations that

Believing in being progressive in business, T. N. Hubbert has just had built a twelve by sixteen corrugated iron building on the rear of the lot on which his tailor shop is located. The building has been built as near fireproof as possible and will be used as a cleaning room for clothes.
 Modern equipment has been or dered, consisting of dry washing ma chimes for both light and dark clothes, and an extractor, which will be in stalled upon it's arrival. It will all be electrically driven in order to eliminate all possible danger from fire.
 A hundred and ten gallon tank will be placed three feet in the ground for gasoline and brass pump from the building attached to it. Complying with the underwriters rules there will not be more than five gallons of gasoline in the building at one time.
 When everything is in working order, MT. Hubbert will have mod ern up-to-date cleaning establishment, and at the same time do away with all possible fire risks connected with it.

CORNELlA

FORTUNATE is she who bears the
name of Cornelia, which through
the centuries has been symbolic of all
that IS beautiful and reverent in moth
erhood. Not only has Cornelia hcri-
tage worthy Of an empress, coming as
she does from the distinguished old
Roman gems of Cornelius, but her
memory is immortalized by Latin
legend, which makes her the mother
Of the Gracchi and the heroine of one
of the most beautiful tributes to moth
erhood.
Some etymologis,s endeavor to trace
Cornella back to the two words cornu
belli, meaning "a war horn" but the
consensus of opinion Is that she had
no existence previous to the first wom-
nm so called, who was the daughter Of
Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus l.,
and the mother of the Gracchi. She
seems to have inherited from her
gallant warrior father il spirit of pure,
lofty dignity which made her the high
est type of Roman motherhood
When, according to the legend, the
matrons of the most fashionable circle
of Roman society were gossiping over
the ancient Roman equivalent for tea
ana exhibiting their gem collections
for the edificatiOn and envy of each
other. Cornelia alone had no glitterng
display. But, Summoning slave, she
