"The whole apartment is a

fine mattress which even the
garbage man wouldn't take.
The cleaners would only agree
to take the rugs at our risk.
Nearly all the kitchen utensils

supposed to talk about things
like this. I guess that's why
women get by with their ways:
Maybe if someone showed them
up for the lazy, dirty things
they are, their babies and hus-

chance. But we're all so afraid
to come right out and call a
spade a spade.
Take this matter Of babies.

THE correspondence be-
l. tween President Hoo
yer and Mr.. Roosevelt re-
garding the formers invita-
tion to the latter to cooper
ate on the present Admins
tration's debt policy, reveals
the wisdom of Mr.. Roose-
velt's declinatien. The radi-
cal differences in the outlook
of the two men would have
made it impossible for them
to have agreed. But the
statement given out by the
White House conveying such
an erroneous impression of
the nature of the very corre-
spondence the President
gives out, illustrates anew
the very great difficulty of
cooperating with Mr.. Hoo
yer. When he proposes CO.

during the last four years,
he means an invitation to ac-

He is so self-suffcient that
he fills a woman with an in

Incomes Have
Decreased

Bearing always in mind
the fact that the plan of
some of our advocates of a
transfer of the debts to this
country means the concen-
tration Of the burden upon
us, it is interesting to note
the new evidence of our in
capacity to pay. The Treas
ury announces that in the
last year there has been a
shrinkage of % per cent in
the incomes of our people.
Three years ago 513 men
paid taxes On an income of
a million dollars. Two
years ago the number had
fallen to $50. Last year
only IS paid on such an in
come.
This, of course, is not a
national tragedy within it.
self; we could get along just
as we'll, perhaps, if no indi-
vidual had an income of a
million a year.
But the incomes of others
have decreased correspond
ingly, and great numbers
have ceased to have any in
come at all.
The decrease in the earn
ings Of corporations is dis
tressing, for they earned last
year a. per cent less than
the year preceding.
Thus there has been an
appalling loss in money
among those who in normal
times have been reasonably
prosperous, and this has
enormously decreased rev.
enue from income and cor
poratiOn taxes.
This, however, does not
take into consideration the
millions who not only have
lost all their money, but,
with it, their jobs-their
capacity to earn their bread.
This is far more serious than
the fact that the man who
once had an income of a
million is now reduced to a
paltry $25O,O00.

FORECAST BY WOOD
House G. O. P. Campaign Head
Predicts Indiana to Go
for President.

A prediction that President Hoover
will carry Indiana in the November
election was made at the White House
today by Representative VIII Wood Of
that State, chairman Of the House
Republican Campaign Committee.
Wood said later he had made this
prediction to the President during his
visit at the White House. He added
that it was based upon adviceS re-
ceived from his State.
There is not bit of doubt" he
explained. about Mr.. Hoover carrying
Indiana as well as the national cleo
ton"
When Representative Wood was asked
about his own campaign for reelection,
he replied, with much more emphasis
than when he spoke about the Presi-
dents chances, by saying:
We'll, If I'm not reelected in In
diana, then Mr. Hoover will not carry
Indiana"
Mr.. Wood said he called at the White
House merely to have a friendly chat
and say good-by before leaving Wash
ington to return to his home. After a
rest, he plans to go to Chicago to
assume his campaign dtfties.

Last March the Post Dispatch filed

The decision further sets out that the

of indicating the principle of the news

Pomerene himself said in Cleveland

Republicans generally remarked that
the President was selecting the best
men he could find available for the big
relief job and in adhering to this prin-
ciple he was disregarding party lines.

political character lays aside uniform
