TAXES DISPEL. FRENCH BUDGET

Minister of Finance Ex

By M, K. WHITELEATHER

] PARIS, Oct. l4.-Frightened les she would have billion and a hal. l dollar deficit in her budget thi. year, France is now beginning tc breathe more easily.
 Unless the next Parliament which convenes about November l, upsets the nicely laid plans ot Francois Pietri, Minister of the Budget, the country will pull through in fairly good shape.
 Receipts from taxation for ths first four months of the fiscal year have exceeded the pessimistic budget minister's predictions by s6,500,000. Calculating on that ba- sis fer the entire year, experts con- clude that the spectre of a huge deficit will be dispelled.
 Pork Barrell Looms
 There is, however, the possibility that deputies, who will be attend ing their last session before gen. eral election, may pass excessive pork barrel laws in order to attract votes
 The excess in receipts over ex- penditures for the first four months comes despite a falling off in ex- port trade which amounts to 29 per cent in July alone.
 The unforeseen income was chief ly from tariffs on sugar, gasoline and timber. Receipts on private in- como~ fell off sensibly.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS,

problem (Which often happens) I have
to let the one answer apply to all, and
I write a beauty talk on that particu-
lar subject. Now for your beauty prob
lem. Your hair will continually grow in
at the scalp its natural shade, no mat
ter how often you bleach the hair that
has grown. Which means that you will
have to keep on bleaching 1t at the
roots at regular intervals. This constant
bleaching and overlapping gives the hair
a Streaky appearance, and in time the
Overbleached hair becomes dull, dry and
lifeleSs. While there are great num-
Der of girls who use peroxide to bleach
aShen blond and light brown hair blond,
it can always be distinguished from the
true blond type, and if the practice is
continued it gives a hard, unnatural
appearance. Then, too, some types of
hair cannot stand the drastic bleaching
and SO they soon lose their sheen and
live appearance. 1t is, in my opinion,
far better to remain true to ones own
type and coloring no matter whether
one likes the shade or not. Beautiful
hair is healthy hair, no matter what its
shade, and a well groomed head of light
brown hair or medium brown Is just as
attractive as blond hair especially II 1t
is an artificially bleached blond. If you
dIC utlcIIliulcu W W d
blond you should have an experienced
hairdresser bleach your hair at regular
intervals and give yourself special oil
treatments together with scalp massage
and thorough brushing every night
Personally, I would advise you to avoid
the use of undiluted peroxide and use
mild blond rinse or camomile rinse to
bring out the hidden lights in your type
Of hair. You may use two tablespoon
fulS peroxide. one tablespoonful am
monia. two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice
mixed with one quart of tepid water as
final rinse. Give your scalp warm
oil treatment before the shampoo. Beat
the whites of two eggs with a mild
liquid soap and apply it evenly over the
scalp. Massage with the tips of the
fingers for several minutes, then rinse
in tepid water. Use a mild liquid soap
to wash your hair and rinse thorough
ly. Dry between warm towels. If you
care to write for my leaflet on sham
poos and rinses for blond and brunette
I shall be pleased to mail it. Your prob
lem is covered in detail. Inclose self
addressed stamped envelope so that it
will reach you safely, however.

SAID MRS. GROUSE.
Grouse taught them how to go to bed
in it by plunging down into it and then
working their way a short distance
from where they entered. 1t seemed
queer the first time, but after they
were used to it they liked it. 1t sur
prised them to find how snug and warm
they were. Above them a storm might
howl and rage without disturbing them
in the least or causing them the least
discomfor Yes, sir, they liked their
white blanket at night.
Don't think that because you are
out Of sight you are out of danger" ="
warned Mrs Grouse. "Reddy Fox and
Mrs Reddy, Old Man Coyote and
Yowler the Bobcat know all about this
trick of ours, so you must never enter
the snow when you have reason to SuS-
pect that one of them is about 1t is
WiSest to wait until dusk before plung
ing in, for then you cannot be seen
from q distance. And when you come
out in the morning it is best to burst
out flying, for an enemy might be close
at hand and you not know it."
NOW OIlG VI Iue young 1TOuSe WAS
headstrong and inclined to do as he
pleased. The wonder is that he had
lived as long as he had. He took pride
in the strength of his wings and in his
own smartness. So, although he heard
what Mrs. Grouse said, he paid no heed
for, as he said to himself, IT guess she
can't tell me what to do and what not
to do. I wasn't born yesterday. I have
been out in the Great World long
enough to know a thing or two and if
I can't take care of myself without
being told how to do it it is time was

So it happened that on the afternoon
Of the day when Reddy Fox had been
teased by Jumper the Hare this head
strong young Grouse took it into his
foolish head not to wait for the others
to go to bed but to plunge into the
snow by himself while it was yet light
in the Green Forest and his brown coat
against the white snow could be seen
for some distance, and was seen. 1t
was foolish thing to do. but those who
are headstrong are given to doing fool

Headstrong Grouse.

Mrs. Grouse had had what might be
called a successful Summer. That is
to say, she had raised a large family
over in the Green Forest. In the Fall
the children had scattered somewhat,
for they were ready to go cut into the
Great World. Now with the coming of
Winter three had rejoined their father
and mother, partly for the sake of COM
pany and partly because they were
smart enough to know that their par
ents out of the wisdom Of experience,
would know the best feeding grounds
in the season of scarcity.
In the Fall these young Grouse dis
covered that little horny points were
growing out on both sides of their toes
and for time they were bothered by
them, because they didn't know what to
make of them.

quickly enough what those little points
between your toes are for" said Mrs.
Grouse. They are your snow shoes"

In the first instance, very fine linen

In the last instance, it must be large
enough to catch the rug strands and
draw them through the stitchery to

textile This does not require the largest

such a size would make too open sur
face or such coarse stitches of wide

Except for one type of crochet, nee

Everyday Psychology

Palmistry.

Pslmistry is very ancient. Great
men, indeed, are mentioned among the
devotees of almistry-Aristotle and his
famous pupil, Alexander the Great,
Archimedes and AlbertuS Magnus. Its
history can be traced back to the ear
lest days of civilization in the East. 1t
is, indeed, an oldworld practice. At
any rate HerrneS, the son of ZeuS and
herald of Gods, had book on palmistry
dedicated to him. Along with his vari-
Gus other occupations-the God of
commerce, invention and athletics, pa
tron of thieves, focks and travellers -
Hermes antedates written history. 1t
may even be that the love of palmiStry
was passed on by word of mouth for
many generations before the art of writ
ing was invented.
This ancient history of palmistry
alone should give it some standing
among those who believe in hands of
destiny"
read one thing that makes me heSi-
tate to accept palmiStry as science.
According to Prof. Swift, The feet and
hands of anthropoid apes have the same
lines and mounts as are found on man
