IDEAL WOMAN IS
 HERE DESCRIBED
She Is Perfect Wife and
 Mother, Says Diplomat

Washington. May P-The ideal woman is 'the perfect wife and mother" with an unattainable something that gives her "a charm that the common place never equals" in the opinion of Senator Alejandro Cesar Nicaras uan minis ter to the United States.
 She needs neither vote nor legal equality to give her great place in the government of the world, he believes, but she does need, figura- lively speaking, balconies with iron Lars to keep the world out and make her unattainable.
 Speaking before the woman's universal alliance, which is meeting here. Senor Cesar draw this con- trast between America and Nicara- guan women.
 'I want to lay my small praise at the feet of American women. She is the most charming of wo- men. She has French chic. Span- ish fire. Nordic ability and Ameri- can charm. She has all charms in one.
 The woman of Nicaragua is not the governor of a state. She is not photographed casting her ballot for public officials. Nor is she the head of a real estate firm. but no ballot nor political career can help her to be more than she is tcday-a charming figure on moonlit bal cony, a rose in her hair and great love in her heart"

PLAN ARBITRATION
 ON DARBY TAXES
Women's InSBtent Refusal. to Pay Gains Point Over Township

Darby. Pa.. May R-Darby wo- men have won an important point. in their opinion. in their revolt against payment of $4.05 personal tax.
 They have convinced the tax col lector, Robert Shaw. that the levy is unpopular" and the collector has called 8 meeting for next week to give the women an opportunity to tell why they object to the payment of the impost. Members of council and the school board will be invited and the question of abandoning the personal tax and substituting an ad- ditional levy of one mill on township real estate will be discussed.
 Despite repeated threats of the authorities that those women who failed to pay the tax would be sent to jail, no one has been arrested or has commitment papers served. The threats, however. appear to have been partly successful. for MT. Shaw reported that 15 women had appear ed at his office yesterday to pay the tax. Shaw's secretary, young wo- man, said all the women were boil ing mad" and vented their ire on her in the absence of the collector.

Judge Hungerford addressed himself to Nicola Bellini, owner of the truck, and cautioned him that he must be careful about the weight of truck loads of materials because the high ways wear out rapidly enough with out adding to the deterioration by driving heavy trucks over them.

RY BILLY ENANSl

Glenn ThistlethWaite has been named football coach at University of Wisconsin. He will succeed George Little who feels that his duties as director of athletics are arduous enough without the added responsibility of handling the grid iron activities.
 For five years Thistlethwaite has been in charge of football at North western University. Prior to that time his coaching activities had been confined to the preparatory schools, where he had met with remarkable success.
 When he came to Northweste ern. football was at decidedly low ebb at the Evanston institution. The Purple had been trailing in the Big Ten for so many years that anything Thistlethwaite might do would be regarded as a decided improvement. Installing a new football system is a tedious task It took the new coach two years to get his methods under way, then he began to get real action.
 In 1925 Northwestern furnished the biggest surprise Of the season by defeating the supposedly irvine ible Michigan eleven. 90. True, the game was played on a field ankle deep in mud. but both teams worked under the same handicap and North western emerged the winner. Northwestern was ranked second to Michigan that year in the Big Ten rating. Last fall Thistlethwaite achieved the goal of his ambition winning a Big Ten title. True, he was forced to share the honor with Michigan. but he had brought d championship to Northwestern. Bringing q football tailender to q championship in five years is a re- markatle achievement. Without a doubt it won for him his new position at Wisconsin. carrying with it substantial increase in salary.
 The surprising feature to me is that Northwestern permitted Thistle thwaite 10 get away, provided nothing other than finances entered into the transaction. With d new stadium on it's hands, Northwestern needs a winner at the present time. Thistlethwaite had turned out a championship team and seemed in a good position to repeat.
 Regardless of whom succeeds Thistlethwaitc. even though he is a coach with a national reputation, he may find il difficult matter to turn out a winner in his first year. despite the fact that the material at hand appears to be far above the average.
 Look out for Wisconsin in 1927. It should have football winner with so capable q coach as Glenn Thistlethwa:te in charge.
