This tax, which is the first of

socialist member, who finds it I'M
just to tax the incomes of work

incomes of those who can be
lazy. The bill was passed unani-

to open the tissues to find the injury that has taken place, but in many instances the fracture develops in side the bone at q point opposite to the place where the head was struck, and in such cases it is extremely diff ficult to make sure that the skull has been fractured.
 Recently Dr. George A. Blakesly has emphasized again the fact that the human eye will mirror changes that may be going on in the brain,
 A study of the eye of a patient with a skull fracture will indicate how much damage has been done to the brain by the fracture and what the possibilities arc for the patient to recover Out of 6i0 persons who had fractures of the skull, there were indications in the eye Of the nature of tue injuries in 7S per cent
 If the pupils of the eye are fixed, either dilated or contracted, the con- dition may be considered extremely serious. In practically all cases in which there were hem orrhages into one Slde or the prdln, the eye was found with the pupil either dilated or contracted. Changcability in the size and outline of the pupils of the eye is usually the sign most ire quently seen in fractures of the skull. As the patient recovers. the ability of the pupils to dilate and to contract in the usual manner is one ot the earliest signs of recovery.
 These things can be easily seen

Talks To&6&& &Ikz pare1,ts
TWO PARENTS By Alice JudSOu PcaIc

Every child needs two parents. He needs them for his wholesome devel- opment and for his proper social ad- and values are still largely based on the institution of the family.
 The child's emotional need for his parents has always been felt, but only recently have we begun to up derstand it's bearings upon his de. Nelopment and his later happiness. Even if all other physical wants were taken care of. the child would still need the special quality Of his mothers protecting and encouraging love.
 For the little girl. the mother is furthermore an ideal toward which she herself would grow. The child whose mother is unsatisfactory in this respect frequently rebels against her own femininity and finds her. self out of tune with the basic needs of her own emotional life.
 The little boy needs his mother s the first object in the development of his ability 10 love- The quality of his love for his mother determines 10 q large extent how stable and satisfactory will be his own married life.
 The little girl needs her father in much the same way that the little boy needs his mother. The little boy needs him as 8 hero, companion and friend who sets for him the measure Of what a man should be.
 Only those children whose par ents fulfill these primary needs have a good chance of becoming happy in their personal lives.
 The mother represents to the child the life of the home: the father brings to him the interests of the world outside the home.
 In any case, two heads are better than one. The mistake and short comings of one parent stand a good chance of being counteracted by the other, for luckily father and mother seldom have the same lacks of tem- perament and insight Where one parent fails, the other often comes to the rescue.
