There is a growing agitation in Fin

The British Empire.-Parliament re-
assembled on Tuesday with the custom
arv picturesque ceremony, the Beef
Eaters from the tower escorting the
King in the famous state coach OF glass
and gold through troop-lined streets
from Buckingham Palace to Westmln-
ster; as immamorially, for the children
a sort of realization of fairy tale, and
even for the staid citizena a sight he
would not forego. The chief matter be-
fore Parliament is Winston Churchllrs
rating reform Scheme"-a bold and
constructive proposal denoting its
author an economic statesman OF very
high order.
The existing system of local taxation
imposes on productive industry employ
ing manual labor Gin particular, the
great basic industries, as, iron and steel,
textiles, coal mining) far the greater
part of the burden of caring for I'M
employment; and this burden Is no
doubt very largely responsible for the
desperate depression under which these
1Il0uoOl 1tdNC AOkA6 AtS6OANA'
Mr.. Churchill proposes that these
industries be relieved of three-fourths
of this burden. He would discriminate
very particularly in favor of agriculture;
all taxation on farm lands farm build
ings Except residences) and live stock
to be abolished Further, he would
increase the easement to the railroads In
respect of rates to such extent as to
permit an 8 per cent reduction OF
freight charges on coal, timber agricul-
tural products. textiles and iron and
steel and products thereof:
He believes that the relief proposed
to the industries above mentioned would
furnish just the increment OF motive
power required to enable them to sur
mount the stony hill that, SO to speak,
has so long defied their utmost efforts;
in simpler language, would enable them
to recover well-being.
The proposal, bold as 1t is. seems
to have commended itself to most Of
the nation. Legislation to give effect
thereto must be accompanied by leglS-
lation to effect drastic changes in the
machinery of village and borough gov
eminent. 1t is proposed that the unit
administering poor law and road FUNDS
shall be the county instead OF, as at
present, the borough or village, and the
whole system of national grants TO local
authorities must be revived. repeat
that the proposal is very bold stroke
of constructive craftsmanship.

CORRECT
MANNERS

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN: 4
I should like to have few
pointers on correct table service
and seating.
i. AS You know. the newer
dining-roOm tables are oblong6 -
it correct TO rthe master-chair
to be placed in the center Of the
long part of the table, and the
head Of the family serve from
there, or is it correct for his
chair to be placed at the head,
or the small part Of the table,
2. Is it correct that ali vege-
tables should be placed to the
left of the meat and served BY
the husband when he serves the
meat?
8. Where should the wife sit
relative to where the husband
sits? A. e. @.
It Is customary to have the
master chair at the small end
of the table. However, the head
of the table is wherever the head
Of the house sits, and therefore,
it is not incorrect to have the
master chair in the middle of the
long part of the table.
better if the vegetables are put
in front of the wife and she
serves them after the husband
has served the meat. This re-
Qtlires some passing but 1t makes
the table look better. and divides
the work more easily.

CRITICISM Is
UNSAFE
BY Lucy Lowell


Criticism Ii almost never safe
for the one who criticizes.
Regardless Of what It may bring
upon him in the way Of resent
ment and dislike. it is SO likely
to convict him of cruelty and un-
fairness. And this not so much
in the thought OF his fellows
where it would be bad enough.
but in his own mind where It
cannot but be all but unendur-
able!
Criticism as q rule Ii the result
Of snap 1sudgment, II the .on0
given to being critical can by
any chance be influenced to With
hold his judgment until all the
evidence on any given person or
circumstance is in, so to speak,
his fault-finding win be OF such
a mild nature as hardly to seem
criticism at all.
/ think sometimes in this cOn-
nection of the brilliant, clever
woman who made witty and biting
criticisms of the old.fashioned
manner In which another wonan's
frock was designed and worn.
They were guests at a musicale
and when the woman who had
been criticized arose to so we saw
that she was cripple and that
her frock had been fashioned to
fit, as best it might, her de-
forTnity.
The brilliant woman was very
silent when she realized how
cruel she had been. and we knew
1t would be a very long while be-
fore her aptitude at criticism was
exercised again.
In nine cases out OF ten-criti-
cism is just az unfair as was this
Wonaan's and just as cruel.
And lust as unsafe.

BY Constance Cameron

Mrs. Randolph, whitelhaired and
squintily near.sighted, had let the
town grow only as close TO her as
the huge yard which surrounded
the rambling old house would
permit. A green, prim hedge
marked off the Randolph estate
and was respected as a barrier by
all except a gang Of boys in the
vicinity, who knew no respect for
the aged woman nor her property.
Baseballs flew into the big back
yard during the summer and the
hedge was crashed through in
quest of them. Chases, concern
ing themselves with escaping
pirates, were not deferred for
moment by the attractive garden
of old-fashioned posies, so that by
July the hedge was hopelessly
broken and the garden ruthlessly
trampled down by boyish feet.

planned to the boys that the gar
den was her most priced posses

Velvet Is Charming Trimming
The Washington Times 15c Practical Pattern

Fashion has decreed velvet
for frocks or trimming, the
fine, lustrous, transparent vel
vet that is so exquisite. Pat
tern 1923 is fashioned Of flat
crepe and smartly trimmed with
bands of velvet. A long, slender
line is created by the diagonal
closing. There is a slight flare
that makes an uneven hemline.
Black, brown or bottle green
are lovely shades in which to
develop this model. The wide
girdle is crushed and forms
blousing of the bodice. Note
the dainty bit of lace used for
the vestee. Three smart but
tons finish the waist closing.
May be obtained in sizes Sc
to 46. Size SO requires 3A
yards of 40-inch fabric, 1 Ia
yards for trimming, and 1-2
yard lace for vestee.
This model is easy to make if
you use this pattern which is
individually hand-cut. A per-
feet fit in every size is guar
anteed.
Patterns will be delivered to
any address upon receipt of 15c
in coins. Always mention size
wanted.

has puzzled many a girl. Some
natures are naturally antagonis-

unattractive and undressing
nothing you can say or do is

control your emotion-do not per-

HALIBUT BEING

Stored Fish Being Prepar- ed.and Be Sent from

With the close of the halibut season work of preparing the stored fish for shipment is well under way at the Juneau Cold Storage plant. Several Of the con- panies that have been buying hali- but locally the past season have crews employed taking the fish from storage, glazing and packing the several grades. The choice of medium size is wrapped in heavy paper and put up in boxes Of 200 pounds each.

tieally the entire seasons catch on the "other side of the line. " Very few of the smaller boats sold fish outside c the Alaskan mar kets, as the prevailing Canadian market prices the past season have been so little above the price of fered in Alaska. the small boat owner was not justified in making the long run to dispose of his catch at the one or two cents higher price offered per pound.
 While there are ne figures avail able at present as to the number of boats that worked from Ju- neau as headquarters and sold their catches al the local market, 1t is safe to say that close to 100 small and large craft operated out of Juneau the past season. The Bureau of Fisheries has not yet made available figures relative to the total seasons catch, though it is almost certain to be somewhat less than that of the average past years.
