INCREASE S27, 900, 900

An increase of almost $4,000
600 in the assessed valuation of
all classes of personal property is
indicated for the year 1925 by fig
ures now almost completed in the
office of Auditor C. Lee Moore.
OF the total, only S1,049,000 is
credited to tangibles, this source
increasing from 1852, 900 in
1924, to s154,011,0 900. The State
tax on tangibles is % cents and
the local levy is left optional with
the cities and counties.
Bulk of Increase.
The bulk of the increase is
credited to the several classes of
intangibles. The largest jump was
made in Glass No. 1-bonds-on
which the total tax was cut from
ITO to .55 cents few years ago.
In 1924 the amount of bonds
reported for taxation was s171,-
$4,000; for 1925 the total will be
S1S3,207,000.
The State levy on this class of
property is 35 cents and the local
levy limited to 20 cents.
Only 10 cents of the State tax is
available for general purposes, 25
cents being the amount allocated by
law to roads, schools and the pre-
vention of tuberculosis.

HOOD ALUMNAE
OPEN CAMPAIGN
Valley Ladies Have Luncheon In
Harrisonburg-First Meeting

AS fitting opening for a ten
day campaign to raise an endowment
fund of S50O.D00, ten alumnae of
Hood College, Frederick, Md. liv-
ing in the Shenandoah Valley, held
dinner Friday night, November 49,,
at the Blue Bird Tea Room, South
Main street. Harrisonburg. This
occasion was celebrated at the same
time and in the same manner all
over the world where there are
groups of Hood girls. and the same
program was followed by all the
clubs.
After the serving of the course
dinner, there was held season of
"reminiscences and a t e r-dinner
speeches, with Mrs. G. A. Benchoff,
Woodstock, as toast-mistress; Mrs.
N Wilson Davis, of Harrisonburg,
Mrs. r. H. Benson, of Winchester,
and Miss Nina Byers, of Meyers Cave
responded most interestingly and
humorously to the toast Hood of
My Day. with memories and rem
iniscences of the days spent in col
lege.
Miss Margaret Hoffman of the
faculty of the State Teachers Col
lege, in very cleverly written verse,
explained the significance of the
campaign now on foot, the subject
being What Is This All About. >"
The principal speech of the evening
was made by the guest of honor,
Mrs. Alfred Hamme, of York, Pa,
who is the director of the Alumnae
Campaign, and a stirring challenge
to the love and loyalty of each alum
nus.
The last talk was challenge to
the girls of the Shenandoah Valley,
by Mrs. G. A. Benchoff, chairman OF
the district. The program was in
terspersed with the singing OF the
Hood songs, so dear to the heart of
each alumna, and at S:45 the group
listened in on the program of Hood
broadcasted by the present Glee Club
of Hood over WCAP.
The table decorations, place cards,
etc, carried out the color scheme of
Hood, the Blue and the Grey.
Besides those already mentioned,
the dinner was attended by Mrs.
George Grattan, Harrisonburg; Mrs.
Charles Mauzy, Harrisonburg; Mrs.
George Boyer, Woodstock; and
Miss Herwig, of Harrisonburg.
Friends of Hood College are anxi-
ously awaiting the outcome of this
Endowment Campaign. the lack of
this endowment being the only OBJ
stacle to the continued membership
in the American Association of Uni
versity Women, which was granted
to the college last year with the I'M
derstanding that this obstacle be re-
moved before 1927. Hood has been
called by leading educator the
modern miracle of the college
world and it is to be hoped that her
friends will not fail her in this her
hour of need.
The meeting of the alumnae in
Harrisonburg last Friday night was
the first meeting of this kind held in
this part of the state, but plans are
now on foot for the formation of a
Hood Club of the Shenandoah Val
ley of Virginia, which will be the
means of brining Hood Alumnae to-
gether in bi-annual meetings.

Washington's Industrial future
lies in its development as a distri-
button center for national manufac-
tTrers. Albert w. Walker, leading
promoter of the new Washington
and Loughborough freight belt line
and terminal, declared today.
Recognizing the fact that the
National Capital will never he a
factory town, in the larger sense OF
the word, Mr.. Walker stated that
plans contemplated by the organ
izers Of the new line will be d.
rected toward seeing the idea OF
Washington as a jobbing center to
important national distributors
In Washington we have a con-
Vergence Of transportation lines for
every point of the compass" said
Mr.. Walker. "Generally, wherever
such a conveyance occurs, the CEN
ter has a high value for industrial
uses. BY means Of the Loughbor-
ough line and the service 1t can
give to local wholesalers and retail
ers, as well as to national clippers.
We are confident that Washington
can become the logical city In the
logical place for a great distributing
center"

Walker stated. the groundwork for
a national campaign among the big
manufacturers win be laid
The first steps toward this end
are being taken through the trade
journals of the country, which will
acquaint industrial leaders with the
facilities to be offered by the estab'
lishment of the new line.
The next move is to send an in.

is now under consideration, to visit
in person the manufacturers who
would be most interested in Wash

match the natural color. On the
very tip Of your little finger.
transfer a bit OF the creamy
rouge to the cupid's bow at
either side Of the center Of your
upper lip.
Now shade this bit of artificial
color gradually toward the corner
of your mouth. Keep just within
the line OF your lips, else the
rouge, spreading. viii give you
that dreadful effect Of q cash In
stead Of a mouth.
enc more tiny dab Of rouge IL
placed at the upper center Of the
lower lip and gradually shaded
toward its corners. keeping well
within the natural line. Finally
dust your lips very lightly with
cornstarch or powder to dry
them and to prevent spreading Of
the rouge.
Do not paint your lips to re-
senble tiny rosebud. A wom-
ans mouth, all beauty authori-
ties agree, should be larger
than the distance between her
eyes. Too small a mouth gives
q doll-like look, utterly lacking
in individual charm.

Get outdoors, breathe deeply, eat

lips will be so interesting and In
dividualIy beautiful, that you'll
