Dainty Maid
BY Hal Cochran

I never have noticed an over
amount Of powder spread over your
face. It's likely you feel that the
rouge doesn't count, for I never have
noticed trace.
Your eyelashes haven't that sticky
like trace and your lips are not COW
cred with red. You're satisfied, quite,
with your nature-made face, and
you're wise, cause you're using your
head.
A lot Of the toolishness fashion
DEGREES has had no effect upon you.
Your skirts are not shortened way
up to your knees, and you're sane
in the things that you do.
There once was a time when girls
demanded respect through their sen.
sible dainty-like way. 1t seems that
you knew what would be the effect
of the rashness prevailing today.
A worthy example! That's Just
what you are. And you make adj
miration worth while, You're smarter
and sweeter and wiser by far, than
the girls who have fallen for style.

FTER all the younger genera

- ish as some of their elders
profess to believe.
In fact, they are more scientific
in their short skirts, low-necKed
gowns and peekaboo stockings than
their grandmothers were with their
trailing skirts and choker collars.
Anyhow, DR.. Leonard Hill, of the
National Institute of Medical Re-
search of London, says these girls
have a better chance for health than
the boys. who wear too much cloth
ing.
And 1t all is due to the health
giving ultraviolet rays Of sunlight.

DR.. Hill says: Il have no doubt
that in the near future both men 8
and women's clothing will be de-
signed with a view of allowing the
body to receive as plentiful a supply
as possible Of the suns rays
Scientists, in their persistent
search for the truth about things,
have learned that sunlight on the
body has beneficial influence on
health through the action of these
rays on the bloodstream.
They have learned that the numer-

Who Is 1t That Pays
and Pays and Pays?

TOlNE out of every seven income taxpayers
~ in the United States is woman and one
out of every six dollars received through the
income tax is paid by woman.
This large proportion of women taxpayers
is disclosed in an analysis Of the income tax
payments of last year just completed by the
bureau Of internal revenue
Out Of a total of 1865 1921 income tax re,
turns filed throughout the nation last year
1,046,322 were fled by women. The proper
ton of their payments however, is larger than
their numerical ratio because, out of the total
of $7O3,6 ,165 produced by the income tax
$117,724,753 was paid by women.
Most married women taxpayers include
their income-if any-with their husbands ;
and joint return is filed, but the report
showed that 170,573 wives filed separate re-
turn from their husbands They disclosed
independent net income of 1923 268, 500, upon
which they paid tax of 9,209,921.
There were 157,669 women listing them
selves as heads of families. Their income
totaled $47s, 642, 1928 And their tax bill was
$10,86O,493.
Single women comprised the largest
group of feminine taxpayers. There were 49,
$50 women who described themselves as
neither heads of families nor wives, with indie
pendent incomes. They reported earnings of
$1,783,4 105, upon which they paid $685.

Indiana is much concerned over
the crime wave that now engulfs
it. Banditry is alarming. Every
thing from jazz to cocaine is
blamed for making bandits. Per-
haps they contribute. but slow
trials do most to encourage BAN
dity. Crime is rampant not so
much because of cocaine-sniffing

head.
Judged even by the standards of
the practical joker the prank was
not a bowling success. The VIC
tim was merely executed instead
OF tortured. Infliction Of mental
and physical pain, and covering
the squirming victim with ridicule
and embarra ssment, are the real
aims of such pranks.
A sense of humor is invaluable.
Without it man would long since
have found the strain of existence
intolerable. Mans funnybone has
been his most effective weapon in
his battle with grim nature. He
has laughed and progressed.
Perhaps no price is too high to
pay for a hearty laugh. But the
practical joker is a pest. He adds
nothing to worlds stock of
laughter. He mistakes cruelty for
a delicate sense Of humor and. too
often, his funnybone is another
pc ,on's skull.

VIGILANCE
is THE PRICE

~0HE Indiana Farm Bureau
Federation will cooperate
- with the Indiana Taxpay-
ers' Association to keep tax levies
and bond issues down. it was an
nounced Monday by Harry Miesse,
secretary of the taxpayers associa-
ton.
There is plenty of room in the
State for the combined efforts of
the two organizations.
In the year ending June 80,
1924, State and local governments
in Indiana expended s196.195,-
412.49-more than $50 per capita.
In addition income tax and other
Federal levies during the same
year nicked Indiana taxpayers for
$40, 100000 or S50,000.000.
Did every Hoosier, man, woman
and child receive sixty dollars
worth of government?
There Is an insistent demand for
tightening the tax burden. Both
public officials and private citi-
zens are openly and vociferously
committed to reduction of public
expenditures. But left to them
selves public officials do not re-
duce. They have to be prodded.
Last year through the activities
of the taxpayers association and
local Farm Bureaus reductions
were obtained in tax levies in
fifty-two counties. If these organ
izations had remained inactive
there would have been no lower
ing Of rates in the fifty-two coun-
lies despite the public worship of
economy by the county officials.
Eternal vigilance on the part Of
taxpayers organizations and in
divid1als is the price that must be
paid for real economy of public
expenditures. Eternal vigilance
but not bitter opposition to all
expenditures and all bond issues.
Merely slashing a tax rate by
curtailing necessary public func-
lions and preventing necessary
public improvements is not
economy.
What the taxpayer wants is a
dollars worth Of government or a
dollars worth Of public improve
nnent for every dollar he pays in
taxes

Shall They Be Drafted

One of the questions being studied

Service Corps through voluntary
enlistment or shall there be a
selective draft law?
Miss Anita e. Phipps, Of the Cen
eral Staff Of the War Department
in charge of woman's relations. has
information in her office to the effect
that 100, 900 American women served
In the last war in various capacities
with the military and naval forces
of the United States. More than
$4,000 were with the A. e. F. and
$4,000 were enlisted in the Navy
and Marine Corps.
The duties that women can per-
form in time of war, of course, do
not include fighting with bayonets
and machine guns. But they can
be cooks. dietitians, nurses, welfare
workers. clerks, telephone and tele-
graph operators, laundresses, ma
irons, tailore, post exchange work
