Dear Miss Lee: We are two girls both
Is years Of age. and are in love with two
boys whom we met last sumer at ball
game. We love these boys better than
life but their parents will not let them go
with us for they are IL and they say they
are too old. But Miss Lee we simply can
not live without them. They say they
are going to make us quit, but they cant
We are good-looking and the most popular
girls in our neighborhood. Many OF the
girls talk about us Just because they are
Jealous Of us. Please tell us how we can
keep the qirls from talking about usf
Please give US some suggestions for what
to give them for Christmas.
TWO FLAPPERs.
Now girls, don't be so silly. Ten
years from now, five years. or even
one year, you wouldn't have these
boys If they were hanging to your
Christmas trees. You'll be alive and
kicking just as heartily about some
body else. They are old enough to
know their own minds and take care
of themselves. 1t appears they do
not wish to go with you. Conse-
quently don't make little fools of
yourselves and run after them. The
other girls won't talk If you don't
give them cause. Where there's
smoke there's always some fire, you
know.

BRIDGEPORT'S SECRET
 TAX PLAN

Erilgeport's new taxation scheme, the result Of tho ripper" legisla- ton Of the last Legislature, is at last complete. Assessor William F. Connolly spent several months in preparing the plan, making trips 10 numerous cities in an effort to learn how things taxable were done there, and return primed 10 do his best. His report was unanimously approved by the Board of Apportionment in Bridge port and now all is well - except that the details Of the plan have been kept secret.
 Why a city should endcavor to keep it's taxation plans secret is be- yonl the ken Of anyone not living in Bridgeport -- and for that mat ter, 10 the rank and file of taXpay- CTS in Bridgeport. One gets the i'm rrcssion that there are features about the taxation scheme that 1t is not desired the public should know about just yet,
 The plan will go into effect as soon as possible after January 1, and sooner or later the public will he made aware of tho ripper mc,hod of taxation. By that time, i however, 1t may be too late to kick,
 The outlook is that inc states secret tax plan in Bridgeport will get into politics later. H the plan wore entirely equitable there would bo 10 need to suppress it at this timc.

money, not the British govern ment, which merely exacts its regu- lar taxation upon the trust, and which may not be more than upon other lines of business engaged i~ the export trade, It should not hs overlooked that British rubber users also are mueted by the trust.
 The British government may profit to some extent, but it can not profit 10 the extent charged, otherwise the rubber trust would have no incentive to gorge itself with profits by raising the price. IL is the rubber trust that is getting the money, or most of it, the gov crnment no doubt merely getting q rakcoff that will not be sufficient 10 pay it's American debt.
 Foreign trusts and monopolies arc controlled by persons who are human enough 10 take advantage Of tho situation in great consum- ing market unable to supply all It's needs They find high tariff bars erected 10 prevent their fellow cIti- zcns from competing in the worlds greatest market and naturally are inclined 10 get as much as the traf- ic will bear when providing the goods VIC cannot produce, We pro- tect ourselves against their manu- lecturers. but we are hard put to protect ourselves against the rub Der and coffee barons who are bound to get their share of trade money.

OUR LIGHTED OUTDOOR TREES

The custom Of Illuminating trees upon lawns or open spaces in resi- dence districts gains momentum at each succeeding Christmas. Many of these beautiful reminders of the season can be seen in various DOT tons of the city. lending their brightness and good cheer to the landscape and enliyoning the hearts of passersby.
 An illuminated outside Christ mas tree Is a contributioa to the spirit of Christmas that reaches a multitude of onlookers and does q silent good to the joyful many. Those who have sponsored them do a public good and a noble service Tn some instances neighbors have joined in contributing 10 the costs of such public undertakings and their enterprise is much to be commented: in other instances trees upon inc lawns are utilized for the purpose. In either case those providing rhe lighted outside trees and the public are the gain era
 In this connection the city's own Christmas tree must not be oyer- looked. The large and beautifully lighted tree at Central park is a delight to the eye and a wonderful embellishmcnt 10 the business dis trict. The nearby monument, nlsc illuminated with strings of colored lights, adds to the effect. There arc not many cities in which the down. town district is made to produce a more exquisite reminder of the Christ mas season,

BRITISH HUMBER TRU ST
 AND AMERICANS

The llooYer plan to countcract tho British rubber monopoly by using as little rubber in tires as possible seems logical as far as it can go. But when that is done there still remains tho necessity 10 use some rubber in tires, and the Brit ish monopoly promises 10 remain one for at least a decade.
 The charge that the British gov crnment is trying 10 pay its war debts through advancing the price of the rubber purchased by Ameri- cans does not it well with logic It is the rubber trust that gets tho

Boughs ot it were hung in the halls where feasts were held.
