 The $5 head tax proposed by MT. Foster is styled an Indigent Relief Tax and is assessed against all male persons in the Territory over the age of 21 years except soldiers, sailors, volunteer firemen, paupers, Insane persons or Territorial charg- es.

RAID PROOF SHIP PLANNED TO FOIL
 CHINESE PIRATES

l-
 SHANGHAI. April Chinese pirates who for centuries have com bined with typhoons to keep travel in the South China sea from be- coming boresome to mariners, will do well to steer clear of a new pas senger steamer which a Japanese ship owner is having built for use in the waters infested by sea rob- bers.
 The vessel will contain none of the time honoured safeguards against piracy Instead the re- sources of science will be called upon to foil any attempts to cap- ture control of the ship while the wireless is summoning assistance.
 Automatically removable com panionways will lead from the boat deck to the bridge. Pressing of a button switch will charge these companionways and portions of the bridge with a high electric voltage that will mean death to the pirate who comes in contact with them.
 The engine room will be auto matically closed also, keeping it's crew safe below deck and protect ing the most vital spot on the ves- sel. The wireless house will be- isolated to prevent attackers from interfering with broadcasts for help.
 The owner of the new vessel is so supremely confident in the eff ficacy of these measures that he will refuse no passenger because of nationality. But Chinese, as coun- trymen of the pirates, will have to a search of their persons and baggage.
 Chinese buccaneers in times of the past, were the veritable Vikings of the Orient. They ravaged coasts, despoiled cities and set themselves up as rulers of considerable coastal territories. But with the coming of modern means of warfare they were routed from their strongholds and of late years have confined their efforts to the capture and footing of individual vessels.

Making Old Easter Cards Useful
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

and Western mountain ranges, in iso-
lated hanlets scattered here and there
over our plains and the outlying Sec
lions Of country. Imagine the pleas
ure that o package Of cards gives IN
such regions though the persons may
not receive them on the holiday.
In far distant countries where mis-
sionarieS work and where teachers,
doctors, and nurses spend their lives
In helping the unenlightened and the
Ill, cards are q luxury. They are
treasures. We can have no conception
Of the eagerneSs with which even one
card is welcomed by some little child
who has never seen such gorgeous pic
lures or by the weary woman who has
little Of brightness in her life.
To all who would lend helping
hand in this pleasant work Of dis
tributing old cards let me suggest
ways and means. Find out from the
nearest hospital Especially a chill
dren'S hoSpitaO If 1t would like your
array Of cards: This Is local work and
others may already have assured the
other avenue.
Get In touch with the missionary
societies, both home and foreign, that
belong to your church, and get adj
dresses from them. It will be strange
indeed if they do not welcome your
kindly offer with list Of many places.
Other avenues through which you can
get in touch with persons wanting just
the very things you have to give are the
Salvation Army, the Volunteers OF
America and the Associated Charities.
All can enter into this work without
cost except postage and without any
labor except that Of doing up the par
cles. If the cards, picture postals, dis
carded books, ETC., are not delivered in
person, they must have secure wrap
pings and be marked ''old cards." II
that is what they are. One end of the
package must be left unsealed for
postal inspection of the contents, If
such an inspection is desired. Cards,
etc, sent to foreign ports or to far dis
tant home towns, should be wrapped in
cloth. An old salt bag is just the
thing to put the cards in. Wash it well
first, and tie up the open end securely.
Then wrap In stout brown paper, and
tie up as any parcel to be mailed.

Camilla Horn Is going home to Ger

as oelicately lovely as cameo will be

Wise Camilla is probably financially
anead OF her American year. Had she

would have been liability rather than
an asset.
Talkies killed Camilla Horn. A few
OF the foreign artists will survive them.
Hollywood feels that Lily Damitais &C

public as much as her laughing eyes.
Olga Baclanova Is counted among those
whose accents are negotiable.
There Is a certain mOnotony even to
the most attractive accent. The voice
suffers from lack of tonal range and
a curtailment Of the emotional nuances
which are the prerogative of one ex-

The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

What, by the way, has become Of the
old-time social clubs of Washington.
We refer to those organizations which
received into membership and brother
hood any one who had penchant for
dancing, frivolity and small talk.
Where, with stein on the table and a
good song ringing clear, one could for
get the tribulations of the day.
While these organizations did not
rate social distinction, they were not in
any sense tough. Many nice, orderly.
decorous folks belonged because OF the
outlet for their youthful exuberance.
Good homes were represented among
the members.
Each fellow had a girl whom he es-

usually a decently good time was had

WHY WE Do WHAT WE DO
BY MEHREN X. THOMSON.

without memory there would be no
mind. Our whole mental life depends
upon remembering. If in learning to
take one step we should forget 1t before
we could take another, the second step
would be no easier than the first.
Thinking consists In perceiving the
relation between ideas; but If we were
unable to remember the ideas, we could
not perceive the relation between them.
Thinking would be impossible.
On the other hand, a certain amount
of forgetting is as important as re-
membering. If we were unable to drop
out of sight (to forget) the events that
have occurred between this moment
and yesterday, it would take as long for
us to recall an event of yesterday as it
has taken for all the intervening events
to happen.
To think at all we need sufficient
memory to be able to hold the perth
nent ideas long enough to draw an in
ference. This is the part that remem
bering plays. Forgetting is also impor-
tant In that it eliminates the unneces-
sary details or the related materials
that would clutter up the machine an6
gum up the works.
Poor thinking Is due to getting these
two processes mixed up, forgetting what
you should remember and remembering
what you should forget. The able
