POPULATION TREND
INFLUENCES TAXES
Movement to Cities Caused
Increase in Local Burdens,
Dr.. Heer Reports.

The continued drift Of the popula-
ton to the cities of the country dur
ing the past two decades had much to
do with the mounting totals Of local
taxation, according to findings Of the
Presidents Research Committee on So
cial Trends.
The chapter on Trends in Taxation
and Public Finance" was prepared for
the committee by Dr. Clarence Heer of
the University Of North Carolina, who
is vice president Of the Tax Research
Foundation.
Cites Factors In Costs.
In illustrating how continued city
growth serves to increase taxation, DR..
Heer writes:
"Such public services as police and
fire protection, paved streets and side
walks, water, sewage and garbage dis
posal systems, isolation hospitals, parks
and Fairgrounds may be dispensed with
in the country, but they are absolutely
essential to the well being of the dense
" massed populations Of the cities. As
cities increase in size, problems Of traf-
fic congestion and rapid transit arise. to
solve which further outlays Of public
funds are generally required.
Local tax collections per capita are
distinctly higher in urban than in rural
areas The urban burden, however,
tends to increase as cities increase In
size"
Gives New York Figures.
DR.. Heer cites statistics applicable to
New York State, where the taxes and
assessments in 1880 Of cities Of 1000
population and over amounted to $79
per capita, as compared to per capita
average of $64 for cities having q popu-
, lation between $4,000 and 250,000, and
. per capita average Of $41 for cities
Of less than $4,000.
Town taxes, including school district
levies, amounted to only $23 per
capita In 1890.
In North Carolina, DR.. Heer notes, a
States with q relatively greater rural
population and with no cities of over
100000 inhabitants, the average per
capita burden of local taxation for In
corporated municipalities is approx
mately twice as high as the correspond
ing average for unincorporated areas.

Late Fashion Flashes

Forever there will be glances

suit with fine fur trimming.
Such a suit is one of black
crepe marocain with horseshoes
of silver fox at the shoulder to
give the fashionable silhouette.
It is worn with a lovely black
and pink satin blouse. The
loose jacket buttons at the
waist and has a back flare.
There is no getting away
from it. With shoulders like
a sixteenth century noble,
broadened out as far as traffic
laws will permit, we simply
must have heights that give
height.
This height takes away from
the tendency to appear Short
necked that broad shoulders
convey without the proper rem
edy.

trump. West still has a trump
and East still holds the Ace Of
spades.
Declarer must lead a spade
and ruff with dummy's last
trump, making the eleventh
trick. Declarer holds long
spade and one trump, but to
regain his hand he must ruff
a club, taking his last trump,
and leaving a long trump in
Vests hand, so that the last
trick must go to the defenders
and defeat the contract by one
trick.
You may think that the de-
clarer might have left one
heart in dummy and one in his
own hand, to allow him to
safely return to his own hand
by leading a. heart, instead Of
using his last trump for re-
entry. But if the declarer tries
this scheme, West will discard
his remaining heart while de-
clarer leads spades and has
dummy ruff, so West will be
able to ruff when declarer at
tempts to gain entry to his
hand by means of a heart
lead.
The Washington times., 1933-05-12

There are two ways in which
East West may twice lead
trumps. West may make an
opening lead of trumps, then
he may lead them a second
time when he gains entry on
a spade lead. AS West did not
consider that he needed to make
an opening lead of trumpS we
will consider the other way in
which the same result might
have been accomplished.
The declarer ruffed the open
ing lead of clubs. He then led
a heart, finessed dummy's j,
and led a spade from dummy.
Instead Of allowing West to win
that trick, let East win with his
Ace, then have him lead his
only trump. Declarer'S j of dia-
monds will win this fourth trick.
Suppose the declarer leads a
second round of spades. West
will win the trick. Have him
lead back a diamond. The de-
clarer will win. Then he will
take his two heart tricks, be-
fore affording West the oppor-
tunity to discard a heart and
later on ruff that suit. This
will make eight tricks played,
of which the declarer has lost
only two tricks.
The declarer will lead a third
round of spades, and dummy
will ruff with next to his last

Mind, as such, Is a state OF
awareness. BY means Of it we
really live; without it we would
lead little more than a vegeta-
tive existence.
Yet strangely enough, few
take an interest in how their
minds work. Little attention is
devoted to it in schools, even in
colleges. Unless a student de-
liberately selects psychology for
special study he is graduated
with knowledge about almost
every conceivable subject, but
precious little does he know
about the one faculty that for
everyone should assume para
mount importance-the mind.
Why should not every indi-
vidual be taught how his mind
works the same as he is taught
arithmetic, history, reading and
writing? Is not the state Of
the mind the dominant force in
faShioning success? Is it not
the emotional tone Of a person
"a mind product-that keeps
him either happy or miserable?
Is it not the mind that in large
measure controls the other Or
gans of the body? Is it not
through our minds that we are
enabled to appraise our human
contacts? In fact, Is it not also
by means Of our minds that we
are enabled to evaluate every
thing in our environment that
touches us?
The world Is ready and will
unexpectedly now it is eager
to give the highest rewards
to the men and women who
think straight and effectively.
Never has a greater opportunity
existed for every mind than now.
Not ordinary thinking, to be
sure, but Superlative, excep-
tional mind output can bring
for it's owner not only material
wealth but lasting fame.
But people, by far and large,
do not use their minds as well
as they should, nor do they get
the best out Of them, simply
because they do not understand
that part Of themselves. Yet

by your goodness to my small
daughter while she was i'll, nor
how grateful we are. You made
her SO happy, and your loving

votion to her Sunday school is
one of the high-lights of her
life, and to receive such a won
derful basket of fruit from YOU
and her other friends there was
a memory-making event for her,
I assure you.
Will you please be so kind,
Mr.. Scoville, as to tell the mem
bers of the Sunday school how
appreciative we are, Of their

will soon be able to be with
you all again, and to tell you
herself how much she thanks
you.

DIR. Bisch's Daily Diet Hint
Many women eat too little
because of fear of gaining
weight. Health demands food,
however, so that the body may
be able to obtain its needed
amount of daily heat energy.
A woman's occupation also
makes a difference. A laund-
ress, for instance, doing :nuScu'

sand calories more per day than
does woman at rest.

To make eye shadows divinely

when it is reinforced by five

will do twice as much good to
sagging tissues and a depleted

A woman who has struggled
with waves and curls most Of
