Good Woman of PennsyiIle Passes

II
Minna, daughter of Addison and
Nancy Davis, was born in Lawrence
county, June 1S, 1875, and died May
"a, 1925, aged As years, II months
and five days. She was married to
Dennis L. Daugherty. Feb. 2, 1901,
and moved soon after with her hus-
band to Pennsville where they have
since made their home. No children
were born to this union, but they
took their nephews Olan and Dana
Davis into their home, who with the
husband, aged father and one
brother, Fred Davis of Patten Mills,
survive. Mrs. Daugherty was a
woman honored and respected by
all who knew her-Quiet, unassum-
ing. Her home was always open to
friends and a CHEEKY welcome al
ways awaited all. The community
has suffered a distinct loss in her
passing.
The funeral was held at the
home Tuesday at p. m, conducted
by Rev, Sanford of the Pennsville
M. P. church, assisted by Rev
Walker of the NJ e. church of

NEW YORK, June 18.-When the
North German Lloyd liner Bremen
docked at Hoboken yesterday, 1t had
on board a stowaway caught in mid
ocean by rat trap.
Leo Vitriol, a young CZechoslovak-
ian, who slowed away at Bremen with
a companion, Abraham Gross. had a
spot in the Bremen's potato cellar
before sailing. Their provisions of
black bread, liverwurst and pilsner
were soon exhausted. When still four
days from New York they had been
without food for several hours and
attempted to eat raw potatoes.
Desperate from hunger they climbed
out of the potato cellar and stole into
the ships kitchen. 1t was dark, but
the stowaways were guided by savory
scents, among which stood out the
odor of toasted cheese. Vitriol head
ed straight for the cheese, cropping
with both hands in the darkness. There
was a click and then a shrek. Vitriol
had placed his hands in a huge rat
trap. The commotion attracted mem
bers of the ships crew who captured
the two stowaways. They will be sent
back to Bremen.

SURTAX REDUCTION
URGED BY MONDELL
Fifteen Per Cent Should Be
Maximum, He Declares in
Minneapolis Speech.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 1S.-A sur
tax Of Is per cent was advocated to-
day by Frank w. Mondell, War
Finance Corporation member and
former Republican leader in the
House, as the maximum levy which
Congress should fix in any revision
of the tax laws. He told the Mime
apolis Civic and Commerce Associa-
ton that this maximum should pro-
duce the greatest amount of revenue
possible and provide the least dis
turbance to business.
Mr.. Mondell said that the question
before the American taxpayer now
is not whether there should be a sur
be reduced.
There Is, of course" he continued,
"ground for difference of opinion as to
how fast and how far the high sur
taxes should be reduced. When the
maximum tax was SO per cent Secre-
tary Mellon recommended reduc-
ton of one-half 1t is now 40 per
cent, and a similar reduction would
bring 1t down to 20 per cent.
Lower Rate Pays More.
"a number of prominent members
Of the House of Representatives and
Senators. Democrats and Republicans,
have expressed themselves as favor
able to a reduction to 20 per cent
While / am not a tax expert, l agree
with the experts that we shall obtain
the largest contributions to the Treas
ury from the large fortunes and have
the least interference with business
under a rate not exceeding Is per
cent. and l hope that rate will be
reached at the earliest possible date" ="
Mr.. Mondell declared it was un-
necessary to emphasize the "tremen-
dously damaging effect of high sur
taxes by keeping the large fortunes
out Of competitive business and in
dustry. While there is no longer the
demand for pioneering" investments
of the character of so years ago. Mr..
Mondell said. it is even now necessary
to provide new money" in countless
enterprises. particularly in the Middle
Western and Northwestern regions.
He added that funds were needed
in almost every city of the country
to add to housing facilities, but de-
clared that money would not be forth
coming in abundance so long as the
investor had to take all of the chances
and the Federal Government taxes
took big share Of the profits.

The magazine and newspaper field
of today was ContraSted with that OF
20 years ago by Norman Hapgood in
an address before the members and
guests of the District of Columbia
branch of the League of American
Pen Women last night.
He attributed the change in the con-
tent OF the magazines to the fact that
the Sunday newspapers were now
treating 50 fully the current prob
lens OF the day that it had become
necessary for the magazines to seek
new material to interest their readers.

tirely and devote their lives to being en-
tertained. The mannequins are the sub
jects of innumerable plays and romances.
A great deal of the gayety associated with
Partisan life depends upon them.
And now they are to be replaced by
lifeless, figures!
The dressmakers, however, are con-
WINGED that the latter will be vastly SUI
perior. Both the wax and the wooden fig
ures are singularly lifelike and beautiful,
and looking at some of them one can SYM
pathize with the unfortunate artist Des-
mouilles, who not long ago tried to kill
himself because he had fallen in love with
one of them and could not, like Pygma-
lion with his Galatea, find kind goddess
to make her alive. Alas, the days of such
miracles are past.
The figures are articulated, that is,
jointed, and can be made to assume any
position. Inventors are now working on
motivating mechanisms, that is, devices
which will enable the figures to walk,
bow, turn, and generally specifically do
whatever the mannequin does in the studio
before patrons. They are displayed in the
most exquisite and intimate of settings.
Besides that they can be made in the fash
ionable shape of the moment. If hips are
fashionable today and suddenly become
questionable over night, it is difficult for
the living model who has developed her
hips to rid herself of them so quickly. II
is no task at all to carve them off the
dummy or quickly produce hipless ones.
Then every one knows that French girls
rarely have the same kind of figure as
American women. That is why NJ. Patou,
one of the foremost of French dressmak-
ers, recently took away with him from
New York seven of Americas most beau
tiful models-Miss Dinarzade, who took
the place of the highly Ornamental Hebe
in Lady Duff Gordon's former establish
ment, and who, like her predecessor, was
acclaimed the worlds most beautiful fash
ion model-Miss Rita Price, Miss Dorothy
Raynor, Miss Josephine Armstrong, Miss
Edwina Pru, Miss Caroline Putnam, Miss
Rosalie Stair. American women are
among the most important customers of
the Partisan dress creators, and that was
a brilliant idea of M. Patou's. But he
was one of the first to take up the inno-
walton and soon back will come the lovely
sevenl Which is too bad, for they like
Paris and Paris likes them.
Besides the American figure there is
the Argentine figure, the Cuban figure,
the Italian, the English. and so on. It

quire multitude of figures. Not at all

PARIS. Sept. 5.

~ UTE the most surprising revolution
threatened in the world today is the
movement to replace the gay and
pretty mannequins or fashion models OF
Paris by wax and wooden automatons
Recently Henry Ford, inventor of the fliv-
yer, solemnly declared that the COW was
wasteful and unnecessary and that milk
could be produced better and more cheap
" synthetically-that is, in the chemical
laboratory. The emotions of an honest
farmer commanded to kill off his "bossys"
and install Henry's milk LiEzies" in their
places would be weak compared to those
of the models who are being rapidly thrust
out of their jobs by the invasion of the
dummies.
The decision to substitute the wax and
wooden figures for the living ones was
made by the French dress creators at the
present exposition. The substitution has
already taken place at number of the
leading establishments and London is fol-
lowing suit. 1t is certain that New York
will shortly follow.
The mannequins, however, will not give
I'D without fight and the matter is to
be taken up by the Chamber of Deputies
and will be made political question. As
many of the pretty, lively girls who have
been one of the characteristic features of
Paris have strong friends among the poll
ticians and statesmen, the fight is apt to
be a lively and interesting one.
The Paris fashion models are exception
ally pretty and graceful girls who wear
the costumes of the fashionable dress
makers so that customers can decide
whether they like them. They do not APP
near only in the ateliers or Studios" of
re dressmakers, but parade in their en-
blowers masterpieces at Deauville and
Monte Carlo, they display themselves at
the races, on the fashionable streets, at
the theatres and opera and the smart
cafes.
Despite the fact that the mannequin is
wretchedly underpaid, the places at the
noted houses are eagerly sought for. She
can make up for the low pay, because
she is very much advertised. The fact
that she works in famous establishment
makes her well-known. And in Paris it
pays to be well-known, especially if girl
is unusually good looking and dressed in
the most beautiful clothes, even if they
are not her own. Such girl is sure to
be widely asked out and entertained, and
therefore will never feel lonesome.
Many of the models marry rich men,
others go upon the stage, still others be-
come so popular that they can afford to
leave the dressmaking establishments en-

Of women get their seasons supplies of
smart dresses solely when the holder of
the purse does want to please his eyes
with new live model, these women are
going to object to the substitution.

their profession. Mannequins as a rule
