average rate of 3027, so that theiS
tax burdens apparently have been
slashed virtually in half.
Those making from 100000 year
up had heavier tax burdens than
their wealthier brothers. In the
100000 to 100000 income class they
paid $4,000 average taxes at a rate
of 1874 per cent and in the 100000
to 81 100000 class they paid an aver
age of $4,000 or a percentage of
1899. Both classes contributed more
of their income to the Government
than the super-wealthy.
Even the comparative pikerS who
made only 100000 to $4,000 and
those making from $150,000 to $780,
900 paid virtually as high percentage
of their income in taxes as did the
wealthiest taxpayers.
The 100000 class paid an average
of $1,000, for a percentage of 1887
and the $15O,000 class paid $62, 468
apiece or 1878 per cent. In none
of these cases did the 1926 law slash
the tax average as it did for the
super millicnaires.

BLACK BOTTOM is OLD
Just an Ancient Folk Dance, Says
French Canadian.

QUEBEC, P. O., June 28.-Jacques
Garneau, 60-year-old folk dancer,
has proved the Black Bottom no
new dance. His recent interpreta-
ton of the dance at the Canadian
folk song and handicraft festival,
brought out the wiggling hip, quiv-
ering knee and spinal movements
featured in the modern Black Bot
tom.
Officials of the National Museum
of Canada said the dance was
brought to the new world by French
colonists more than 300 years ago.

PHEL PS DODGE MANAGER MAKES
TOUR CLOTHING MARKET; SAYS
STYLES ARE. LESS EXTREME

Extreme styles and prollibitive prices
for mems, and Wonlen's clothes are
things of the past, according to H. E.
Willard, merchandise manager of the
Phelps Dodge Mercantile company,
who returned last week from two
months buying trip in the east.
Women's tastes have transferred from
the extreme sport styles to the more
conservative and more beautiful erea-
tions in the wood shades, blacks and
novelty blues, while men have gone in
for conservative mixtures, and the old
blue serge has again come into favor,
according to Willard The drop in
prices he attributed to the settlement
of the garment workers strike which
paralyzed the cloak and suit industry
last spring.
Felt hats in small shapes are the
rage now, said Willard, women all
over the country demanding felts III

coming with crush effects, enbroid.

shades. For these dress patterns, Will
lard said that he was most fortunate
in obtaining first choice of the new
importations in trimmings. Brilliants
ornaments, frogs, festooning, silk
braids and imitation snake skin are
being offered fer trimmings, the
dresses this season being trimmed Just
a little more than for the past sew
eral years. Buttonieres are stronger
than ever, the Phelps Dodge buyer
stated, smart dressers all over the
cast demanding full set of these
beautiful accessories to match each
gown. Gloves are leaning more and
more to novelty styles, the chamoisetts
cloves being offered in highly en1~
broidered effects as are also the
leather gloves.
Hosiery colors lean strongly to
French nude, champagne, soft tans,
moonlight gray and rose aupe, said
Willard while shoes are being shown
in new novelty styles in fancy snake
skin, patents and tan kid.
Mere man asserts his independence
and demands mostly mixtures this
year, according to Willard, his fancies
leading to tans, browns and grayS.
Blue serges have also returned to
favor more strongly than for several
years past. Hats are mostly in wood
shades to match the mixtures, while
neckwear is where the man shows in
dividuality, high colors in bows and
four hands in ultra fancy patterns
, being most popular, matching the
fancy patterns in shirtings, so popular
this season.
