it is to be a beautiful and fascinating young woman because it is so rare. There are thousands upon thousands of pretty and attractive girls, but it is only once in a blue moon that you meet a really attractive old woman.
 Yet when we do, how we go down be- fore her! How we flatter her and ad. mire her! What deference we pay her How we hang upon her words and quote her witticisms and ponder, over her philosophies She has charm unique, She has the value of the antique which time has mello%ed and softened until il Is priceless.

She has had sixty years in which to build up her battery of charms. She has had a life time in which to study the idiosyncrasies of her fellow creatures, and she is a dolt if she has not acquired the skill to play upon a harp of a thousand strings. She has lived, she has seen birth and death, and sorrow and joy. She has seen things stranger and more wonderful, things mere romantic, more tragic, more hu- mOrous, more pathetic than any novelist ever imagined, and she must be stupN beyond belief if out of all her experiences she is not an interesting companion.

Therefore, to every pretty wom- m the first gray hair and the first crows feet around her eyes are a real tragedy, and it is nat ural that she should fly in her desperation to the hair dye bottle and the rouge pot, and deck herself out in flapper clothes in . frantic effort to stimulate the youth and beauty that are no longer hers.
 But. alas, it is loves labor lost. No skill can turn back the, hand of the clock. no art can change the shriveled rose into bud again.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-10

Most women are unattractive when they are old becauce they Z have believed that their youth and beauty was the only charm they had. and that when that went, all went. So they threw up their hands and went into involuntary bankruptcy in person and spirit. They let themselves get frumpy looking. They become bores be- cause they let their interests and their conversation narrow down to their aches and their pains and their children and grandchildren. They drop behind the times and disapprove of everything because 1t is not done as 1t was done in their days.

Many women are far better looking at sixty than they were at sixteen. For time is great artist and often it chisels rough features into symmetry, and carves on q commonplace face the lines of experience that make it interesting and worthy of our admiration.
 Sometimes suffering and sorrow burn what is coarse and commonplace out of q woman's soul, and refine her into a delicacy of beauty in her age that her youth never knew. Sometimes a wOm- an who was hOmely in her girlhood is made lovely in her age just by her sheer goodness.

The woman who realizes that her youth and beauty are going need not mourn as one without hope, however. There is for her . time of second blooming, second period of fascination, if she has intelli- gence enough to make the most of age.
 Just as in the autumn there comes an Indian summer of whrm sun shine flittering through a golden mist and an atmosphere that is per fumed with all the ripe fruits of the year, and that is more lovely and seductive than the thin, chill promise of the spiingtime or the burning heat of summer, so to a woman who is growing old there often comes this aftermath of charm that is far more potent than any magic of her girlhood.

The tired old eyes look out incon- gruously from beneath the bohbed, strawberry jam colored hair, The painted roses on the withered cheeks make them look stil more withered and lined. The debutante frock only serves to call attention to how many years it has been since grandma was entitled to wear it.
 It is so impossible to hold on to youth or initiate it, and give a lifeiike repre- sentation of it when it is gone that Il is not worth the time and money and effort and agony that women spend upon it. When their hour strikes they had as we'll kiss their girlhood days goodbye and whistle it down the wind

If the young girl has not been en- dOwed by nature with physical good looks and that illusive something that we call personality, there is nothing she can do about it. Her attractiveness must come as a gift from God, but the elderly woman's Vaccinations she can make herself.

And people avoid them, just as they seek out the woman who has growr old gracefully. whose interests are al wide as humanity and whose sympathy takes in the whole world.

Wise is the woman who realizes this and who spends her energies in cultivating the fascination of age, instead of vainly trying to hold on to the lure of youth.

So all beauty is not a matter of peaches-and-cream complexion, and golden locks or jet black tresses. It is matter of soul, of heart and of mind, and this is where the mid die-aged woman has her inning.

Liberal votes and 6,337 popular votes,

The figures based on scattered re-

newspaper, Ell Mundo, a Machado
supporter, showed that he carried
the city of Havana by an estimated

NEW ORLEANS, La, November L.
A riot call was sent to police head
quarters tonight when disorders be-
came rampant at a meeting of La
Follette-Wheeler supporters in their
labor temple. j. ]. Fineran, head of
the independent movement in Louis
lana, was in the midst of a speech
when a man. who said he was Dr..
James Anderson of New York, and
represented an intelligence bureau
specializing in industrial work,
charged that Fineran was a bolshevist
and mounted the platform to present
alleged documents to that effect. And
erson got only far. enough to an
nounce he was prepared to prove the
charge, and was removing papers
from his pocket, when Gus Bienvenue
secretary of the Street Car Workers
Union. rushed forward and attempted
to strike him.

while Anderson, holding Bienvenue off
with one arm attempted to continue

TAX ASSESSMENTS
TO Be INCREASED
Total Valuation Of Property
in City to Be Substantially
Higher This Year.

The total valuation of real estate for
taxation purposes will be substantially
increased as a result Of the biennial as
sessment of property now being made,
District Assessor William p. Richards
predicted last night.
There will be rather general in
crease in assessments on property in
the northwest section Of the city, Mr..
Richards said. Some Increases are
likely to be made in the other quarters
Of the DISTRICT, but not to the extent
that will prevail in the northwest

the valuations h1ed two years ago.
WIN Have Sales Data.
In going over the assessment book.
the assistant assessors will have before
them records Of actual sales made. AL
though assessments for the purpose OF
taxation are not based entirely on sale
prices, it is one Of the factors consid.
cred. In this connection, Mr.. Richards
said, his Office feels that the peak OF
prices has passed.
At the present time the total assessed
value Of all taxable real estate is $s18,.
900, 900. 1t is impossible at this early
date to forecast accurately what amount
will be added in the new assessment
but Mr.. Richards ventured the opinion
that the total might be raised to $3.50,
0oo, 900.
On the first Monday in January the
new assessment books should be ready
for public inspection. The taxpayers
then have five months, or until the first
Monday in June, to note an appeal from
the value placed on their holdings by
the assessors.
Elective July 4 Next.
This new biennial assessment becomes
effective July next and will form the
basis for tax bills payable in Novem-
Der, 1925, and May, 1926.
Mr. Richards said the assistant as.

ditions in the various sections OF the
city, because in going about to value
new buildings erected during the past
year they went into every part IT the

Gains Favor Coolidge.

OF the doubtful States, Coolidge is
more likely to win in Iowa, Nebraska,
Washington and Montana; Davis is
more likely to win in Missouri, and La
Toilette is more likely to win in Min
nesota and Nevada With such ad-
ditions, Coolidge would have a total
of 3l5, Davis 17s and La Toilette So.
1t requires 266 votes to elect Presi-
dent.
If the coalition between the oppo-
nent of Coolidge should be successful
in a considerable number of States,
the final results would be far diff
ferent.
1t is one thing to seek to. deliver
large numbers of Democratic votes
to Senator La Toilette in these States;
1t is another thing to deliver them
Reports which have come to me indi-
cate that the end in view has been
sought in different ways. In one
place Democratic leaders have actu-
ally been called together, and in
structed what to do. In others, the
Democrats have tactfully stepped
aside to leave the field to La Toilette.
In still others prominent Democratic
leaders have declared their support of
La Toilette, seeking to point the way
for others.
May Affect IL States.
There is no use closing the eyes to
what has been going on. It may not
succeed, but it brings into the situa-
tion an element Of uncertainty. 1t is
this attempted coalition that lies at
the basis of any hope the DEMOCRATS
and La Toilette people may have of de-
feating Coolidge.
This attempt is being made in Iowa.
Washington. Minnesota, California.
Montana, Idaho, Nevada, and there is
some reason to believe that it is being
attempted in Indiana, in Colorado. in
Wyoming. and even here in Illinois
there may be something DONE" it Is
said.
In my opinion, Senator La Toilette
will carry Wisconsin and the two
Dakotas. II the electoral votes Of
the other States mentioned should
be taken away from President Cool
idge and deposited in either the La
Toilette or the Democratic column,
the result would be serious, to say
tho least.
