DOTH Louis and Marie Antoin-
- cite were tawdry folk of no
consequence whatsoever, but they
have carried into posterity a sort of
romantic glamour, because the peo-
pie who executed them for good and
sufficient reason did not have the
imagination to carry the job through
with even reasonable amount of
grace.
1t can be done. Captain John
Craige in his delightful book, Black
Bagdad, relates an incident in the
history of Haiti in which both the
executioner and the executed came
off with flying colors. The narrator
was Monsieur Chevalier, a charming
Haitian. whom I had the privilege
of meeting in Port au Prince a few
months ago
The elder Cheyalier was a con-
tender for aScendancy in Haiti
against two rival generals. After
some lndeciSiVe action in the field,
the leaders agreed to a truce during
which an election should be held.
AS a result OF the balloting, Chew
alier was chosen as president. He
started from mis- headquarters in the
hills to Port au Prince to meet his
cabinet.
But he neglected to take his army
with him, and on the road he was
waylaid by the two rival generals.
They informed him that they had
decided not to abide by the result of
the election, but to stand him
against a wall and shoot him.
Most of the walls in Haiti are not
too clean, and so I do not know
what concessions were offered to
him. But he asked for one. Cen
eral Chevalier was dressed in his
field uniform, which was travel
stained and muddy Only one hour
back on the heavy roads mule was
coming with his luggage. Would
they be so kind?

Exercises Strengthen Foot Arch Tissues

TN many instances, feet are ex-
Il ceedingly painful because of a
condition affecting the main bone
of the foot, the astragalus.
This is particularly the case in
the condition commonly called fall
en- arch, which occurs more often
in women than in men.
People who stand long hours, such
as motormen or Saleswomen, are
especially likely to be disturbed by
pain in the feet due to extraordi-
nary stress on the arches.
There is pain and rightly of the
tissues and at times even spasmS

person is able to stay off the feet,

SALES TAX? NO!

WITH the people Indignantly demanding
that the income tax law be amended in
such way that Morgan and his kind can no
longer escape, some short-sighted members of
congress ask, Why not substitute the sales
tax for the income tax?
TIL answer is simple
Morgan and his partners paid an. income
tax of about s1l 100000 for 1929 How much
tax would they have paid under the sales tax
method?
The senate should follow the house in re-
jecting the sales tax as an alleged substitute
for more effective income taxes on the rich

GN.SO .-Balfe Macdonald. IT,

In custody with young MacDon-

The youth said he had argued
with his mother until late hour

cized everything 1 did and she
wanted to put me in a re-

his mother of which young Mac
Donald had told him.
