HELP FIND
CHRISTI
IDEAL

Who is the Typical American
Girl?" What is she and what does
she represent? Is there a girl who
embodies all that our American ideal
requires?
The Times asked these questions
of Howard Chandler Christy, the
famous artist and illustrator.
1.-THE typical American girl" he
answered, sis full of capabilities, dar.
ing and confidence. She is a girl
who has been permitted more free
dom than the girl of any other ma
tion and she has proved her right to
that liberty"
GlOries i'm Loyalties
He described the ideal personality
as the girl who has schooled herself
to adjustment; able to discuss topics
intelIigently, yet not dogmatlcally;
playing her game of tennis, golf or
bridge, not for effect, but because
she likes the sport; occupying place
in the business world, not as an IN
vader, but as a thoroughly compe.
tent persont. -
she can be depended upon in all
crises-for as she does all Things
well, so she glories in being a stead
fast friend"
The artist could not assign the title
of Typical American Girl to any
definite person.
Her mental fertility has elevated
the typical American girl from a
feminine parsonage to a dynamic
force which has attracted the In.
terest of everyone. Her intellectual
and physical fitness for almost any
occasion is her predominant char
acteristic."
Athletics Strong Factor
Christy suggested that her in
clination for athletics might be
the strongest factor in making
the typical American girl the re-
sourceful, energetic and versatile
creature she is. He credits her
with fearlessness of conviction,
honesty in her dealings and an
innate sense of suitability.
This last, he remarked. was the
secret of the smartness of her
dress, regardless of her income
Her carriage and e m n o
naturally bespeak her mental attl.
tude, noble, friendly and brilliant.
He added that she has risen from
a human frailty to an equal footinS
with men, unhampered by her SEX
yet purely feminine.
Her pleasing personality and lively
humor are emphasized against a
background of wholesomeness and
the jolly playmate can as readily
be your advisor and sympathizer.
"She stands out in any gather"
ing, with no need of labels. nor
laurels. She is her own greatest
tribute" Christy said.
What do you think about the
Typical American Grip" The
Times is seeking the opinions of
artists. writer's. college officials. So
biologists. or anyone who feels that
he or she has definite i5ea.

March income tax collections, the
first accurate barometer reading
of 1925 remarkable business &C.
tivity, probably will disclose that
there are over $4,000 Americans
with wealth exceeding $1;OOO,OOO.
This estimate was made at the
Treasury today, on the basis of
tax returns for former years,
coupled with general commercial
and industrial statistics available.
Last year 1907 individuals re-
turned taxable net incomes exceed
ing 100000 which represent actual
wealth of S1,00O.O0O or more. ac-
cording to Joseph S. Mccoy, chief
treasury actuary.
Highers Increase
The wealth of those with net
incomes over $780, 900 was fixed at
about $50,OO0 900, 900 last year.
1923, all figures have increased
aires increased 5000 in three years,

Last year there were 2S3 persons
with a. million or more income. The
March returns probably will dis
close four or five added to this
select list.
Some Decline
. The individual income tax prob
ably will show a marked increase
in March, while decline is antici-
pated in the corporation tax, al
though heavier business will coun.

Under the 1926 and 1928 revenue

bride-to-be.
The wedding will be formally an

That was the only bit of news the
numerous Mexican and foreign cor
respondents of the Mexican capital
could garner.
Blocking the road to the capital
while Ambassador Morrow was
passing through La Gina in his
automobile yesterday, the news
paper men vainly questioned him.
He was impenetrably firm and
none too gentle in his refusal to
give out any information. He ad-
vised them to return to Mexico
City where he would gladly see
them. provided they wanted in
formation on any other subject.
The correspondents then came
here and succeeded in seeing
Colonel Lindbergh in person. He
was very courteous and appeared to
be in excellent humor. He talked
about the weather, the beautiful
countryside, and aviation, but
evaded all references to his 70.

During the day, Colonel Lind
berSh and his fiancee went riding
in a motor car with the famous

were also seen walking together by

The all-school play given last Fri
day evening was a success from
, every standpoint. We had a splendid
and enthusiastic audience which is
always the biggest factor in the final
performance, as far as enthusiasm on
the part of the actors is concerned. 1t
gave enjoyment and entertainment
after a weary day, and that is some
thing to strive for. There were a
number of wise cracks" which
proved laughter, and there is nothing
like clean jokes for that purpose, so
We can truthfully say that it was
atisfying. The amateurs did very
we'll, and some did exceptionally we'll
considering the difficulty of the
roles.
Those whose sense of language is
sensitive might criticize the slang in
he play. That is a problem confront
.ng every coach and when one consi-
lers that it is essential to the inter-
oretation of character one must rea-
ize its necessity in the parts where it
S used. We do not as a general thing
approve of misuse of language and
venever it is possible it is left out.
This comment holds true for all plays
which the school gives. We realize
hat the school is one place where
standards in speech are high as
everything else is. and it isn't will
Iingly that slang is allowed in plays.
Where the part demands it we do
cave it in.
