using these cannons to Commemorate
the World War is universally ap-
proved, but Congress cannot afford
to discriminate when the demand ex-
ceeds the supply.
o.
Perhaps the most important meas
ure presented to Congress during the
first week was the Administration
draft of tax bill prepared under the
direction of the Secretary of Treas
ury Melton. President Coolidge
has given the plan his unqualified ap-
proval. It deals with the abolition of
taxes on admission to theaters and
other so-called nuisance taxes. The
tax reduction proposals will meet
with strong opposition from the So
called "LaFolette Bloc" which has
a plan calling for restoration of ex-
cess profits taxes, and increases in
sur-taxes.
1t is doubtful whether tax reforms
will be possible at this session. The
LaFolette group has demonstrated its
ability to throw a wrench into legis-
lative machinery. The fact that the
Republican leaders have been forced
to compromise in the organization of
the House, has given his clique con-
1dence in their ability to control the
majority. There are some legislators
willing to allow the tax reduction
measures to fail of passage at this
Congress in order to make political
capital in the Presidential campaign
of 1924.
If Congress were to give its at
tention exclusively to the bills intro
duced during the first two days of the
new session, its time would be fully
taken up until adjournment on March
A.. Fortunately for the Nation, the
majority of the three thousand pro-
posals dumped into the legislative
hopper last week, will pass into his
tory as "having been introduced in
the Sixty-eighth Congress. The
Legislative days are limited to sucl
an extent that it will be possible for
the committees to give consideration
to only a few of the more important
measures. 1t is interesting to note
that large percentage of the bills
and memorials were removed from,
pigeon holes and again submitted t.
che Congress.
With a becoming show of import
ance, many Congressman have in
troduced bills providing for the con
struction of new post offices in their
districts. It is generally believed tina,
little or nothing will come of these
proposals because of the policy of &c.
onomy practiced by the Administra
ton in an effort to reduce the ia,
burden. The last omnibus bill pr
viding for federal buildings in vari-
Gus localities carried authorization
for appropriations aggregating forty
million dollars. This measure was
enacted March 4, 1913. Owing to the
war conditions another omnibus bill,
proposing the expenditure of 62 mil
lion dollars failed to pass Congress
a few years later. It has been esti-
mated that more than a hundred mil
lion dollars would be required to
meet the demands for new post of
fees and other structures maintained
by the Federal Government. With n"-
5ion-wide approval given proposals to
reduce taxes, it is obvious that Con-
yress will not appropriate large sums
for post offices at this time even
though for political reasons such ac
ton would be desirable.

Doll Novelties Will Be
Popular This
Season

You must have your little doll this
season if you would be in the center
of smart fashion.
This doll can be a bag or some
portion of it; it can be pillow or
nament for your boudoir; it can sit
upon the edge of your library table
and grace it charmingly; it can be
the handle of your umbrella; it can
hide your telephone or your powder
puff or it can be carried about In
your arm simply as an accentuation
of the costume you are wearing.
The girls who are carrying dolis
are quite enamoured with the idea
and the fashion. They say that they
like to feel something in their arms
and that, since they have been carry
ing dolls about the streets. they
begin to wonder how they Will ever
be able to go about without them.
The whole thing started rather as
fad and perhaps, 1t has not pro
crossed in any sense beyond that
stage. but the fact of the matter is
that. fad or no fad, it is still with

upon when it is done in the right

BOUQUET OF GLASS FLOWERS

Would You like to have decora-
ton in your room that is the smart
est and Frenchiest thing imagin-
able? Just go to department store
glass bowls, with a matching glass
plate or a black wood stand, and
set few long stemmed glass flow
ers of harmonizing colors. There
are some that are made of an iri-
descent glass that seems to hold the
rays of light and conjure up all
sorts of fanciful dream pictures.
The whole secret is in placing the
bowl where it seems most effective.
Try the center of tie table, one end
of the piano or on the mantel. Then
find some ostrich feathers that are
no longer useful as trimming for
your hat. Clean them and curl the
plumes carefully, the arrange them
artistically in the flower holder with
Your glass flowers. Your first trial
may not quite please you, but with
each arrangement you gain a little
skill. After while You will find
that the sense of the beautiful that
is in everyone will just make you
turn out something beautiful.
The final appearance is that of
bouquet, a cluster of fairylike flow
ers set off by the delicate lines of
weird, feathery fern. You will not
recognize the old plumes. Then, too,
you can get the same effect with
less expense. Secure some artificial
cloth or paper flowers and arrange
them in the same dropping way with
the feathers. They will not have the
oddity--that suggestion of the UNI
real that you get when the glass
flowers catch the scattered shafts OF
light in dimly Illuminated room
But there will be a touch of dainty
beauty about it all that you will

FIRST WOMAN PHYSICIAN

The first regular medical college
for the education of female physl-
clans was the Women's Medical col
lege of Pennsylvania. which was in
corporated 70 years ago. The first
woman authorized to ractice medi-
cine in America was DR.. Elizabeth
Blackwell, a native of Bristol, Eng
land, who studied medicine at &C.
neva, N. Y, and obtained the degree
of NJ ID. in 1919. With her sister EN-
ily she opened the New York In
Urinary for Women and Children in
1854, organizing 1t in connection with
the Women's Medical college of
New York in 1857.
Two years later she registered as
physician in England, and after
serious objections from the mascu-
line doctors. was permitted to prac-
tice. Miss Garrett, afterwards Mrs.
Anderson, was licensed to practice
medicine in London in. 1865, and with
the assistance of DR.. Blackwell,
Professor Huxley and others, opened
the School of Medicine for Women in
London in 1874, the first institution
of it's kind in Great Britain.
The fair physicians of England
were placed on the same legal foot
ing with men by the medical act of
1876. DR.. Mary Walker tended Mid
dlesex hospital in LolIon. in q 'modi-
fled masculine garb. in 1866.
