Simple and Smart logs for Little Children

In days gone by every child was
supposed to go through a period called
the awkward age. In reality 1t was
not an awkward age at all, but In
those days mothers had not got be-
yond a certain ~stereotyped style OF
youthful dressing and did net under
stand the possibilities OF that age be-
tween babyhooG and subdeb.
Few things indicate more decidedly
the progress Of designing than the
charming clothes created for the mod
ern child. They are colOrful and ex-
quisite, simple and smart, and, above
everything else. appropriate. Perhaps
the most distinctive feature OF these
frocks and coats 10 their individuality.
1t does not take long for u mother
to decide just what particular color Is
becoming to her small daughter and
whether her type calls for frills and
rufles or for an almost exaggerated
slimness and lack of ornamentation.
AS always, certain phases Of grown.
up fashions are repeated in miniature.
There Is, for instance, the sleeveless
frock with it's wide frill about the
neck and the ti~ght-waisted, full-skirted
dress which delights the soul Of its
small owner because it .s sc like
mothers.
Outdoor garments Are made Of soft,
lightweight woods in tones which set
of the lovely coloring Of childhood.
They have trimmings Of fur that are
suitable TO the years Of these small
persons.

1856 QUARTS FOUND
IN SPECIALLY BUILT
RUM HAULING AUTO

Because a passing automobile
sagged too low for the weight Of two
passengers, East Point police started
an investigation Tuesday night
which resulted in the confiscation Of
$50 quarts of rye whisky and the
arrest of two men giving their names
as Joe L. Smith and Red Virgins,
of Birmingham, Ala.
Shortly afterwards, in the same
part of Fulton county, a trio of coun-
ty policemen started a 15mile chase
which ended within half a block of
the county Jail. In this raid, j. L..
Johns was arrested and charged with
carrying a concealed weapon, while
Guy Bonner, negro driver of the car,
was charged with speeding and Vio-
Iating the prohibition law.
The car taken in the East Point
raid was described by Officers Harri-
son and Ragsdale, of the suburb S
police force, as having been especial
ly fitted for the transportation of
liquor.
They said that tin troughs, divided
into stalls the exact size of a quart
bottle to prevent rafting or breaking,
had been constructed under the body
and under the front and rear seats
of the automobile. Sheets of galvan-
lied iron protected the compartments
under the seats from the passengers

EVEN BOOTLEGCERS
PAY INCOME TAXES,
/ THIS SUIT REVEALS

Even a bootlegger Is not immune
under the income tax law, but is
liable for taxation on the money
derived from the sale of Illicit
beverages. Intimation of this was
current at the federal court build.
ing Wednesday.
Papers have been prepared and
soon will be served, it is under
stood, charging an alleged purveyor
Of pre-Volstead brews with making
fraudulent returns in his income tax
return for 1921. His name is on the
papers, and even the amount he is
supposed to have earned is shown
in detail it is declared by federal
officials.
Pending fling Of the proceedings,
officials in the Office of United States
Collector of Revenue j. T. Rose
are reticent about details.
According to unofficial informa-
ton, however, the situation is about
as follows:
A man, said to be bootlegger and
who is understood to have been con-
victed at least once for violating the
eighteenth amendment, has been
named defendant in a voluminous
document which has been prepared
by thei legal department of the in
ternal revenue office. His income
has been estimated, so it is said, from
checking his bank account. On the
disparity between these figures and
those which he filed for taxation,
the action is to be based.
Income tax officials in Georgia are
understood to be hot on the trail OF
many alleged bootleggers, but this is
the first case in which they have
been able to get any concrete evil
dence.
Several officials in the Federal
building Wednesday remarked that
a continuation of such a policy will
even endanger the kankroll of Sec
ond-story men and safe crackers.
One legal gentleman, however,
made the assertion that if he were
handling the case for the defense
he would try, and he intimated that
success was more than possible, to
have the case thrown out on the
ground that liquor being illegal,
money derived from the sale of liquor
is inst as illegal

VoIstead Rejects Offer
Of $1,000 Per Night to
Lecture on Prohibition

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Cash-
ing in on hard words does not seem
to appeal to Representative Vol
stead, the man of congress most
cussed" by vets.
The much nnaligned man from
Minnesota, it was learned today, has
turned down a chaurauqua offer of
$1,000 a night to strafe the demon
rum"
Instead of capitalizing his fame
and carrying on for the dry cause
when he leaves congress on March
4. Volstead, who was defeated for
reelection, is going back to bis law
office in Granite Falls, Mimi, to
practice his profession.
BY passing up the offer, Volstead
paves the way to his fondest hope
to prove he is not a professional
prohibitionist,
Now that he has been licked, Vol
stead has no laundering to return
to- the house to sIt at the foot of
tho table. There is a lure about
the senate, however, and provided
Senator Knute Nelson does not run
two years hence, Volstead could be
persuaded to get in the race.

MORE:H HOUSE JURY
To GET KIDNAPPING
EVIDENCE MONDAY

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2S.-Attor-
ney General A. v, Coco announced
today that he and three of his as
sistants would leave here Saturday
night for Bastrop to present to the
Morehouse parish grand jury evil
dence obtained at the open hearing
there last month into the activities of
masked bands. Operations of hooded
men eliminated last August in the
kidnapping of Watt Daniel and Z. F..
Richard, and two bodies found in
Lake LaFourche on December %
were identified as those of the men.
The attorney generals statement
was take nhere to indicate that the
hooded operations would be the first
thing the jury would consider. The
grand jury will be organized Monday
forenoon from a panel of 20, and it
was expected the attorney general
would appear before it that day.
The state has announced it would
seek from Is to so indictments on
charges ranging from murder to as
sault and battery, and it is known
that the attorney general will ask
for five or six murder indictments.
Should the grand jury fail to return
true bills charging murder, it is ex-
pected the state will file informa-
tons charging manslaughter, the
most serious charge that can be filed
through that procedure.
The state expects to present only
a brief of the transcript of the testi-
mony taken at the open hearing, and
such other evidence as it may have
in it's possession, and unless plans
are changed at the last moment will
have no witnesses on hand. 1t re-
mains with the grand jury whether
| it cares to examine any of the wit
nesses who testified at the open
hearing. Should the jury decide not
to, call witnesses, it is expected it
will get through with its investiga-
| tion quickly.
The attorney general has declared
nothing relating to the proceedings
of the jury would be announced aft
er it began consideration of the case
and that nothing concerning any in
dictments it might return would be
made public until after the arrest OF

err should reverse his position COM
pletely-which nobody has predict
ed he will do-the general opinion
is that he could not preserve the
tax equalization law by vetoing re-
peal, for the legislature probably,
in that event, would repeal it over
his veto.
Henry J. Fullbright, state tax
commissioner, declares the repeal of
the law will cut the states revenue
at least $2,5O0,000 a year, at a con-
servative estimate. 1t is generally
conceded that, repeal of the law will
result in a general shrinkage of
values, which means a general
shrinllage of revenue for the state.
The problem, therefore, is to find
ways and means Of replacing reve-
nue. which seems certain to be lost
by repeal of the law
