The argument that repeal will
prevent an increase in taxes is a
specious one: The tested facts in
the case of liquor and economics in
every country, in every age prove
that no matter what taxes liquor
pays it robs the people of ability to
buy food, clothes, education and |
other necessaries. During the sa-
loon era from 1900 to 1914 sociologi-
cal agencies reported figures prov
ing that for every dollar in taxes
paid by liquor the public was bur-
iened from five dollars to twenty
dollars to pay for the poverty, dis
Ease, inefficiency and crime directly
raceable to liquor.
1t would be economic ignorance to
start the liquor traffic again. A mill
ion dollar liquor plant employs 81
people. A million dollar shoe factory
employs 500 people. The liquor plant
reduces the ability of the
,ublic to buy from the shoe plant;
nd that is the case in almost every
ther line. Liquor is the biggest
ompetitor of legitimate business;
10 matter what taxes liquor pays,
iquor will ruin other enterprises
nd eventually impose larger bur-
en- than ever on the American peo-
lie.

Fashions i'm Blankets
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

TT is interesting to note the changes
in fashions in even such practical
things as blankets. In the days when
women did everything from carding the
wool to spinning the yarn, and weaving
the blankets, the borders were an i'm
portant feature. In them the housewife
found expression for her artistic bent.
Some of the heirlooms which this gen.
Grafton cherishes are blankets with eX-
quisite colored hands of two or more
hueS combined in rows to form borders.
One such blanket, which the writer
prizes, has a tri-colored border at each
end The red. dark blue and pumpkin
yellow have all the beauty of age-toned
Oriental rug colors.
Today it is the bindings of blankets
which receive special attention. The
width of the satin binding may be less
than four inches. but if so it falls a
trifie short of the preferred width. Or
the banding may be less than four
inches, but if 50 it falls trifle short Of
the preferred width. Or the banding
may be fancy, having slightly scalloped
edges The widths, the style of apply
ing and the color are all important
items.
With the stress being put upon bind
ings, it is not surprising that the white
blanket has returned to favor. This is
also due TO there having been a reign
OF color in household articles, and bian-
kets came in for their share of tints.
tones and strong hues. The beauty of
soft and thick pile, not weighty but
luxuriously downy, Is particularly ap-
parent when in white Like f1eecy
clouds, they delight the eye. With the
