Taxes.

Increases in taxation are never
popular, no matter how necessary they
may be. Senator Borah's suggestion
that an increase in the Federal income
taxes be made if the Treasury deficit
reaches large proportions falls with a
dull and disheartening sound on the
public ear. But the Idaho Senator will
have accomplished a meritorious end
by his suggestion If thereby he is able
to constrain leaders Of both parties In
Congress to be as economical in appro-
priating the public money as possible.
Mr.. Borah has always been one of those
who has stood for economy In govern
mental expenditures. He was one of
the strongest hackers of former Presi-
dent Coolidge in the latter's constant
and oft reiterated demands for "econ-
ony" following the World War.
Republican and Democratic leaders
in Senate and House are critical of
the suggestion that an increase in
income tax rates be made Some of
thsm at the very moment are intent
upon drawing from the Federal Treas
ury large appropriations to be used, it
is true, in the effort to relieve unem-
ployment or the drought-stricken areas
in the farming States. But these funds
taken from the public Treasury must
in the end be paid out of the pockets
Of the American people through taxa
ton. There Is no other source of Gov
ernment revenue Sooner or later the
taxpayers must foot the bills Of the
Government. 1t behooves the members
Of Congress, therefore, to scan with
the greatest care every proposed appro-
priation, no matter how worthy may be
its aim, at the present session Of Con-
gress. The Governments income, like
those Of many Of the people. has dimin-
ished because of industrial depression
in this country There is less Govern.
ment money, therefore, to spend.
President Hoover has warned the
Congress in his messages dealing with
"the state of the Union" and the
budget that appropriations must be cut
to the bone in order to avoid a large
deficit. 1t is quite true that Uncle
Sans credit is still good and that he
might easily go into the money market
and borrow the money needed to meet
the expected deficit at rates of interest.
Indeed, this is the suggestion Of some
Of the members Of Congress intent upon
making appropriations and at the same
time avoiding legislation increasing Fed
eral taxes.
The Federal Government can aid the
unemployment situation by giving work
on public construction projects. 1t can
relieve the distress in the drought areas
by the appropriation of money for seed
and feed and for loans to farmers. But
there are limits beyond which the Fed
eral Government, under the present
circumstances, may not with propriety
go. Senator Borah has pointed out that
it will not be possible, even If 1t were
wise, to relieve the whole problem of
unemployment and distress in this
country by taking money out Of the
Federal Treasury.
The suggestion of the Idaho Senator
that income taxes be increased at this
time may not have struck a popular
note. But Senator Borah has called
attention, even If unpleasantly, to the
need for the strictest kind of govern
mental economy.

TALLY celebrating an American
Christmas in her Chinese home.
Ardeth found herself wishing
wistfully that she had been able
to send gifts to Fan and Paul.
But she did not know where
they were living now and she
did not want to ring up Neil and
ask. In some odd way the mere
fact Of remembering her cousins
would have helped. Something
about having ones own people
at this time of year just
to know you belonged to some
one. If she only had Ken.

and somehow smelling of the
brown, wet earth.
No word with them.
When Tom came to drive her
out to Mary's she was waiting
for him with her wraps on,
and there was a bunch of white
violetS pinned to her coat col
lar. Toms watchful eyes saw
that she had been crying. 1t
was a quiet drive out to Mary's.
Impossible to be sad at

explained as she carried Ardeth
away to the bedroom to lay off
her wraps. She was too little
to get the idea of Christmas
last year, but I think it will
take her until Easter to re-
cover"
Ardeth was altogether lovely
today in a maroon crepe which
flung her tender throat and
face into warm relief and made
a flame of her tawny hair. A
long string of carved ivory
beads and the white violets
added the necessary contrast.
Mary spoke, the words hav-
ing an odd reluctance, as
though they were dragged from
her against her will.
"Ardeth did you know
that Ken and Cecile have sepa-
rated?"
Eyes suddenly large and dark
in a white face Ardeth turned
to face her. "Why-why-no.
Are you sure?"
"Cecile'S mother told Mrs.
Hawkins. They're thicker than
thieves, you know. Ever since
that Spy thing came out &C.

Ardeth's hand had crept to
her throat, frantically twisting
ivory beads.

ago." Mary went on. Then, bit
terly, Much good it will do!

knives and forks and spoons
placed at the table?
2. Is the silver for the dessert
placed when we set the table?
8. What is the correct silver
for dessert?
4. Did I really read in your
column that salad knives are

tainly never have been correct
and still aren't correct.
Please tell me if I did read
this in your column. If I did
I'll gleefully show it to my

When we set our tables we
should place the silver pieces
so that the person dining will
start with the utensil farthest
from the plate and will use the
pieces in order, proceeding to-
ward the plate. This is a logical
and reasonable and sensible ar.
rangement of the silver pieces
and every hostess should fol-
low it.
Silver pieces should not be
placed carelesSly on the table.
They should be placed in the
definite order of their use, and
they should be placed so that
they are parallel to each other,
one inch or two inches from
the edge of the table.
We should place only those
utensils that are to be used
with the foods that we are to
Serve-up to the dessert course.
That is, we should not Splace a
heterogeneous collection of
knives and forks and spoons,
leaving the person dining the
choice of the silver pieces.
The knives and spoons are
placed on the right of the
plate. The forks are placed on
the left of the plate. The only
exception is the oyster fork,
which it is customary to place
on the right Of the plate, with
the spoons.
The butter spreader is placed
on the bread-butter plate, the
handle toward the right and
the edge Of the knife down.
This knife Is best placed paral.

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOllett-

Beauty Superstitions that are
nothing but bunkum: That
if you have a few facial treat
mentS you must keep on hav-
ing them or you will get ter
rible wrinkles: that electricity
used for the removal of super
fluous hair makes more hairs
grow; that applying EPSON
salts to fat legs will reduce
them: that rubbing stye with
a gold wedding ring will make
1t evaporate; that when the
ends Of the hair are cut, the
hair bleeds.
The arch Of the eyebrow
should not be exactly in the
center, but more toward the
inner end. When the eyebrows
are narrowed, made thinner,
hairs underneath should be
weeded out, rather than those
above. The faint hairline is
out of style. 1t should never
have been in, as it makes the
face expreSsionleSs. If not bald.
When the eyelashes are dyed,
a piece Of pasteboard cut the
shape OF a crescent is placed
under the eye, and the lashes
rest upon 1t. The Coloring
agent is applied with a fine
camel's hair brush. Only a
skilled operator should attempt
this treatment because of the
danger Of dye dropping into the
eyes.
Coiffures designed for the
