EDITORS DENY M0N0CLE
PRODUCT OF GERMANY
French Order to Officers to Discard
Glass as Badge of Prussianism
Causes Stir.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 2. When the
French commandant in Wiesbaden
recently ordered all French officers
to cease wearing the monocle because
it was a badge of "Prussian militar-
ism" he aroused the ire Of German
editors, who declined to have the
monocle saddIed upon Germany. The
editors call attention to the French
name of the single eye glass as proof
of it's French origin.
DR.. A Won Wilke. reviewing the
history of the monocle, says the old
Prince of Sagan, whose principality
was in Germany, but who lived most
of the time on the Paris boulevards,
won wider attention perhaps than
any other man through the constant
wearing Of a monocle. Gen. Won
Seeckt, the present chief of staff of
the reichswehr, is never seen with
out monocle. but his German de-
tenders declare that it is never re-
garded as sign of arrogance or
haughtinesS on his part.
In fact, the German editors declare
the horn trimmed spectacleS to- be
just as much the badge of the poseur
as the single eyeglass. They assert
that the horn trimmed glasses are
worn by many youngsters who try to
make themselves interesting to
women or desire to appear to be
learned.

OLD RIGHTS SOUGHT
BY HOHENZOLLERNS
German Courts Have Made Some.
Rulings in Favor of Imperial
Property Claims.
SEQUESTRATION ORDERED
Contention That State Owes An.
nuity to Royal Family.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 2.-Where Is the
dividing line between the private
property of the Hohenzollerns and the
property held by virtue Of regal sta
ton? Is the Hohenzolerns' former
kingly job entitled to an annuity like
that of a superannuated state on
cial?
These questions are the subjects
of heated litigation between the
Hohenzollerns and the Prussian min
istry of finance. Pending settlement,
princes and princesses of the former
imperial house are receiving a month
ly rental e1ualinG the highest salary
paid a Prussian official. namely, 400
gold marks.
The question of disposal of the vast
houses arose after the 1918 revolu-
tion. While other states settled the
issue either by compromise or by
legislation. there as yet has been no
agreement on the subject between
Prussia and the Hohenzollerns. Mean
while all of the property is in
sequestration.
Has Use Of Estate.
In the case of the Oels estate the
Prussian government upholds the
sequestration but permits the former
the case of his cousin, Frederick
Leopold, the state has paid a bill Of
many thousands of Swiss francs
which he incurred while living
luxuriousIy at Lugano in 1921.
The Hohenzollerns originally were

The Hohenzollern right to a regular

NEW YORK, June 2-Flowers on

an distracted, superior look on the
face of the boss barber-these are
some Of the things mere man encoun-
tiers in New York today when he
drops in at his erstwhile domain SOL
itaire for the weekly haircut and
"trimmins".
The bobbed haired sisterhood-and
that takes in pretty nearly every
young, or youngish, woman in Ne"
York-has invaded these strongholds
of masculinity with vengeance. A
tour of some of the better shops, not
ably those located in the terminals
and the big hotels, disclosed nearly a
$3.50 division between stubbly-faced
males and boyiShly bobbed females.
Seeks Women's Trade.
Although most of the men seem to
be wearing a crouch over this new
and strange development. the barber
is frankly on the side of the women
and is making every effort to win
their trade. Flowers on the bay rum
shelf, singing BARRIERS and and ailuring
their pro-woman leanings.
One reason undoubtedly is that
they collect IS cents a bob. whereas
they haven't been able to sandbag the
men above 65 cents as yet. But there
reasons. Take Varelli, the head bar
ber at the Netherlands, on upper 5th
avenue. Varelli before he. became a
tonsorial artist was an Italian street
singer.
Varelli was combining both arts

"Lakme' as ne worked on the pretty
girls tresses-when the writer entered.
Bright spring flowers bloomed in
vases before his chair.

question. They appreciate the music,
the flowers. The tonsorial art ees a

the first female head of hair New
York ever witnessed, except on ty-
phoid convalescents. Now, with the
rage still growing. he is enlargins g
his shop to care for the added Gus

Women in my barber shop? Why
not? Did you ever see a garden

The rest of us have cold chills,
mental vacancy and very dry
throats when the official execu-
tioner-the chairman of the
meeting-turns his relentless
eye our way and announces that
we are next.
It's calamity when the
speech-making job is thrust on
US .in1promptu. And almost as
bad when we have been given
advance notice, for most of our
carefully-thought-out clever re-
marks vanish from memory as
we rise scowlingly, nervously, to
our feet and swallow. Actors
call this lack of stage presence.
The speaker, when nervous,
usually is too self-conscious. He S
afraid of disgracing himself. 1t
will help a lot if he keeps in
mind that 90 out of 100 in the
audience have just as great a
dread of making speeches.
The expectant, joyful look on
their faces is not in anticipation

Speech-making at its best is
dull, and especially so when
John Barleycorn is not present
to liven things up. To counter
act this dullness, tell a joke
even the one about Pat and
Mike. Three good jokes will
save" the worst speaker.
All speeches are too long. IF
you want the secret thanks of
your listeners, make your talk
short. The shorter the better.
Orators who are naturally gift
ed to talk by the yard have
spread an impression that to
read a speech is bad form. Don
believe it. The audience wants
to get the ordeal over with even
more than the speaker.

A "PUsSUNAL" QUESTION

Are you getting any of the
benefits of high priced milk and
butter and butter fat? You are
not unless you are keeping some
good dairy cows. Now is the
time to get in the game.-Jack-
son Progress-Argus.
Those who have dairy cattle
on the farms-who have main
tanned them there for any length
of time-know very well that
they can be kept and the other
farming activities carried on al

cattle and the care of them will
add an extra cash. income. The
graded cattle that are sold off
the herd will bring money from
another direction. The fertilizer
and the skim milk are appreciate
bi-products. The hogs and the
chickens that can be raised be-
cause cattle are kept all helm to
swell butter fat at the extremely
high price of fifty-one and a half
cents a pound. This is the time
when our dairy cattle get the
beans out. of the field, the tur-
nips and rutabagas, the sweet DO
tatoes we have grown and housed
for them. Today we can market
velvet beans, field peas, peavine
and peanut hay, potatoes, turnips,
carrots, and other abundantly
easy crops through the dairy cows

OPINIONS OF
OTHER EDITORS
HOW THE sURrAx WORKS

Secretary Mellon has delivered
a smashing reply to those critics
of his income tax reduction plan
who contend that it is designed
to flavor the rich,' by its sub
stantial reduction of the surtaX.
In his letter to Senator Curzons,
of Michigan, candidate of the
radical element of the senate for
chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Committee, he shows the
folly of a petty politician trying
to discuss financial problems of
which he is ignorant.
Even politician ought to
know that when the levy on in
comes becomes excessive, the in
weston will put his funds in non
taxable securities, but Senator
Curzons made the mistake of as
serting rather scornfully that no
tax-exempt securities could tempt
men who had the opportunity of
investing in such lucrative enter
prises as Standard Oil, whereupon
the Secretary Of the Treasury
comes back at his critics by giving
chapter and verse to prove the
contrary.
William G. Rockefeller, says
Secretary Mellon, Undoubtedly
was familiar with the possibilities
of Standard OIL" and yet when
he died and his estate was adj
ministered, it was found that he
had $7,000,000 invested in Stan
dard Oil, and S44,000,00O in tax
exempt securities.
1t was indeed an impressive IL
ustration. A man who had ex-
ceptional opportunities for know
ing what returns he might ex-
pect from a productive industry
found it was wise, under the ex-
cessive sur-tax, to invest three
fourths of his wealth in non-tax-
able securities.
There is a homely old proverb
about leading a horse to water.
without being able to make him
drink. If sur-taxes are so high
as to be excessive and drive cap
ital into non-taxable securities,
how much money does the excess
bring in?-Macon News.
