CAPITAL LEVY IS
 ALARMING FRENCH Govt. Admits This Plan Is
 Being Considered WOULD HIT RICH PEOPLE
If Such Plan is Adopted Those Who Possess Fortunes Would be Re- quired to Give Part of Them to the State.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, Feb. 20.-Official circles conceded today that a capital levy was among the plans the government was studying for solution of Frances financial troubles. This was admitted in those circles to be the proper Interpretation of a declara- ton made in the chamber of depu- ties yesterday by Finance Minister Clementel which first came to notice when the printed sheets of the finan- cial debate were distributed to the press.
 Causes Sensation.
 The discovery caused a sensation in the press gallery. Deputies of the majority when consulted appeared somewhat alarmed at the blunt way in which the finance minister an nounced that "a capital levy will doubtless become necessary" The proofs for the journal official were consequently modified, the phrase being made to read, Special contri- bution," instead of capital levy"
 Whether the idea is presented on one form or the other, the meaning is that those who possess fortunes would be called upon to give part of them to the state, it was said this morning in official circles.
 Both Mean Same.
 Levy is more brutal than "con- tribution," 1t was pointed out, and Frenchmen dislike the idea Of con- straint and are less likely to be alarmed by the use of ''contribu- hon," but both mean the same at the end
 The few French newspapers that caught the phrase asked today whether the chamber realized the importance of it. Premier Herriot all along has declared he wants no. capital levy. In fact, his finance min- ister took the contrary attitude in the chamber debate. It is remarked in the chamber Hobbies that this shows just how difficult is the solu- ton of the French financial prob lem.
 M. Clementel is said to realize more than any member of the cabi- net that French taxation has, to use his own expression, reached the ceiling" The annual tax burden, he has declared, cannot be increased: the money must be found some other way.
 The suggestion was made in the chamber lobbies today that M. Clementel had let the capital levy idea slip into yesterdays speech just to see what the reaction would be and that the form of his statement was changed so as to render 1t val te enough to be practically disavowed in the event it meets with too much opposition.

Beauty in Blankets.

Bed blankets do not need to be all
uhtte-or outla andish, Yet the great
majority OF women are more afraid
of color in blankets than in a.lything
else.
The reason IS. think. that they
have not learned how TO use color in
blankets, and also, because some man
ufacturers have not learned how,
either.
But there are always on the mar.
ket some wonderful color combina-
tions, and some beautiful blankets.
OF late, too, the most enterprising of
the producers have gone out OF their
way to accomplish things really worth
while. For instance, there are even
moderate-priced blankets now which
| have been designed TO tie up to the
spirit Of all the important styles Of
| period furniture. There are blankets
whose tint or pattern suggests the
early American, just as the ruffied bed
! spread and braided rug make Il Colo.
| NAL room almost unaided.
| 1t is A mistake to think of all blan.
kets as utility" covers, to do service
anywhere in the house This hap
hazard plan has been the cause OF
| much of the trouble with color in
! blankets.
/ If blanket is chosen to fit into the
| harmony Of a certain room, and is
! used in that room, the satisfaction
1t gives will be tremendously en-,
| hanced

blues that seemed all more or less
alike when separate but which swore
like drunken sailors when in close

1T then became apparent to a good
many of us that very large proper

last-mentioned colors have been well
combined but it assuredly takes the
hand of an artist to do 1t properly.
Well, just to save women from a
reputation of being absolutely lacking
in color discrimination the dressmak-
ers had to invent the ensemble idea.
Only, of course, no one person in
vented 1t. 1t just naturally happened
as SO many things do happen in
fashion. And the dressmakers found
it very profitable, because it often
meant that a woman, instead of buy
ing a single frock. would buy a frocll
and Il scarf and a wrap and hat. or
instead of buying only a hat. she
would also buy a belt and a pair of
gloves. or instead of buying a pair of
shoes, she would come away with a
handbag besides.
And the ensemble idea is as i'm
portant as ever. There are far fewer

My Neighbor Says:

Great care should be taken
when washing colored stockings
to prevent the dye from run
ming. First of all. prepare a
strong lather on good soap and
warm. soft water. Add a pinch
of salt to the water and after
washing wiring as dry as pos
slble and hang them out to dry.
When making pie of fresh
fruit, green apple or peach.
where the tenderness of the fill
ing depends upon the length of
the baking. if you take a strip
of white cloth about an inch
wide and long enough to en-
circle the pie, wet 1t in cold
water and bind 1t around the
edge of the pie and tin, it will
prevent the pie crust from be-
coming too brown around the
edge before the fruit is cooked.
Table linen should be hemmed
by hand. Not only does it look
better and more dainty. but
there is never a streak of dirt
under the edge after being
laundered, as with machine sew
ing.
Candles burn better and more
slowly if they have been stored
in dry place six or seven
weeks before they are used.

WHEN WE co SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND III. ALLEN.

Bedrooms are not the easiest rooms
in house to decorate. Yet a we'll
chosen blanket will help a lot to bring
out a color harmony. and to give tho
room character. Very few things can
do more to stamp a boys room. for
instance, than a strong plaid blanket
in red and black
OF course, the general principles of
, color harmony apply as well to bed
blankets. If you seek a dominant har-
mony around one color in the room,
choose d plain-colorcd blanket little
darker than the walls but lighter
than the coverings of the floor. But
| If your scheme is gayer and contrasts
are indulged you can have compile
mentary colors i'll the blanket, choos-
| ing a combination which Will strength
en- note which may have been too
weak heretofore
In q room with plain walls that IS
quiet and perhaps otherwise drab, a
vivid blanket can be chosen that will
| liven il up. If there is already pro
nounced color in the wall paper and
| the drapery. an all-White blanket, or
| one white with modest borders will
| serve to bring restfulness into the
| room and give it dignity.

SOURCE-An occupation.
From this listing of variations. ra-
cial origin and source you can form a
pretty good guess as to how these

The first bearers of these surnames.
you say, must have been makers of
caps or. at least, dealers in them. and
their surnames were at first descrip.
tive Of their occupations. later losing
their meaning as descriptive OF the
bearers trade and becoming identi-
ficationS Of the individuals themselves.
But. you ask In sudden doubt, did
the medieval English speak of caps as
we do? They wore head coverings. of
course. But did they call them caps?
Didn't they rather call them hats?
The answer is that the medieval
English, and Normans also, did have
caps. but they were not the sort of
head covering that We designate by
that name. They were more like
hoods. They came to be known as
caps" but the more usual designa-
ton was the Eorman-French chapel
and sometimes "chaplet" tthe diminu-
tive form). And 1t is interesting to
note that our modern word chapel"
meant originally little building that
reminded men of the shape of hood.
The word is derived. of course. from
the Latin 'caput" (head. through the
