WASHINGTON D. C., June 23 President Hoover has given warn ing that the World War Veterans relief bill pending in the Senate meant an increase in taxes. This is contained in a letter to Senator Watson, of Indiana.
 The President said it was inequi- table to the veterans and far more than they themselves asked.
 Secretary of Treasury Mellon said g deficit of s1oO,0o0,o00 in the Treasury at the close of this fiscal year, is faced by s180,000,0oo if the reduced income tax rate is made applicable this year.
 The Secretary of Treasury said the receipts are inadequate to sup port the burden of the proposed Veterans legislation. It is esti- mated that this will require $102,- 100000 for 1882, and an ultimate cost annually of $225 100000.

floor little Winter wallHower. Who has
taken you from the perfumed warmth of
your dollhouse, and unthinkingly placed
you in the path Of the elements, Of a cold so
intense that it penetrates your mantle of snowy
ernine, and chills your tiny hands?
You do not like Winter, do you, dainty little
lady? Sports with their carefree gaiety mean
little to you. Skating on a pond in the twilight
of a Winter evening when distant lights lend a
glow TO the snowy scene has little attraction for
you. Snowballs pelted by bright-eyed, rosy
checked girls looking like spirits in woolly suits
are just so much roisterous foolishness. And
tobogganing down the side of a steep hill may be
awfully amusing for youngsters, but not for a
young lady of nineteen delightful Summers and
one very unpleasant Winter when she discovered
that the delightful joys of the snowy season
made no appeal to her.

There was something strained in

comparison. Henry's held boyish
glee and triumph with an indefinable
unpleasant suggestion OF gloating In

nothing but disgust and there were
little white lines etched around the
