The Dumb Woman Scores

The umb woman often scores
over her more brilliant sister because
she is content to allow the man to
occupy the spotlight and shine while
she looks on in admiration. The
smart woman wants to shine herself
and so stands in competition with
the man. He resents this and shows
it by seeking the society of dumb
Dora and leaving the more brilliant
woman to her loneliness. Smart

Hay Nice Looking Lips

After you have painted your lips
you will find them nearly always two
vivid and artificial looking. But
there is a way to correct this. Just
place piece of tissue paper between
the lips, press them tightly together
and you will find that it leaves your
lips perfectly natural looking and all
the surplus color is taking up by the
tissue. Do this every time you paint
your lips.

N Just as it has been doing for 143 years Ehe Old Farmers Almanac has arrived on Schedule This compilation of facts and sfancies which originated in 1793 Tn the fertile brain of one Robert B. Thomas has been published continuously, once year, for the enjoyment and education of thou sands of New England families It might add to it's glory and splendor to recount ssEhat today it is prescribed as text book sat Harvard, Smith, Mount Holyoke, and n number of other schools and colleges.
 It still flourishes nightly despite the inroads of the press and the roads on our rural regions.

 New England will also visualize two seclipses in 1885. On February par tial eclipse of the sun may be seen. On 3he night of June 15-16 total eclipse of 3he moon will be visible.

Old Age Pensions

Is A federal old age pension system is ine- vitable. The present situation is con- fused. Thirty states have old age pen bions in some form or other, some opera tive and others merely enacted and await ing organization and funds. Only the federal government can bring order out of this chaos by taking over the job That, however, will take time. It may have to wait on more urgent recovery matters. V Some of the various pension propaganda ists, particularly Dr. F. B. Townsend of California, regard their plans as in them |belves vital to recovery. But 1t IS doubt full whether many of those who sign the Townsend petitions really take 1t seriously. HOW could they, if they did little think ing and figuring?
 The idea is $20O month for all men and women past 60. The eligibles have been estimated at about 10,000,000. That {vollld take SPA, 4,000,O0O,00O year, $2,0OO,- 1)o. 600 a .nonth, for this purpose alone. f,n6 years operation would cost about half HE present income of the whole nation, nora than all our military and naval activ- :f;ea in the World War, six times as much &s # costs normally, to run our govern ;16nf Where and how would Uncle SarH 1ct the money!

Fewer Tax Exemptions

The Board of Taxes and Assessments of New York City has been busy removing tax exemptions from various properties. In October it restored to the tax rolls about $50 real estate holdings, with an appraised valuation of more than $5O,OOO,- 900. These included the Morgan Library. International House, the K. of c. Hotel and the Masonic Temple. Early in No vember the board restored to the tax lists 120 more properties including every pri- vate school in the city. Private hospitals that do no charity work are to be taxed hereafter, along with other purely prl- vate institutions operated for profit.
 Next to come under the boards scrutiny are parsonages. Residences of the clergy at present are legally entitled to $2,0OO exemption, but in practice most of them have been totally tax-free. The situation is to be ended, although some exemption will be continued in cases where parso1l- ages are used for church purposes as well as for the preachers home.
 Many persons who regard the income tax as the soundest of taxes would like to see a similar elimination of exemptions in connection with it. They maintain that there should be fewer tax-free securities and fewer loopholes for evading payment. The tax burden ought to be widely and justly distributed. It has come to fall too heavily on certain groups. The move ment to end injustices and discrimination is popular one, but requires careful handling in details.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-23

ard the Board is the claim it is heavily weighted against la- bor, and that its nine-mOnths' record of evasion on vital is- sues proves it.
 The board as appointed last spring as the major feature of Roosevelt's strike-averting set- clement, consists of Leo Wolman, chairman, Nicholas Kelley, for the employers, and Richard Byrd, for the workers.
 Both Wolman and Byrd nave come under fire from union ranks, on charges of being ''too sympathetic" with the manufac- turers.
 While labor has gone "sour" on WOlman, he. has the ear and confidence of the President and Secretary Perkins. With the latter he has been friendly for many years.
 It is because of this long standing friendship that labor leaders are gunning on the Q. T. for the present. They hope to convince Miss Perkins of the biased character of the board, and the urgent need for change if future trouble is to be avoid- ed.
 If this tack fails, then the plan is to launch an open bom- bardment.

More About Diversion

s. Diversion of receipts of one state de- { spartment to another to foot the latter's ! expenses is not good business. We readily admit it. That's why we have consistently fought all efforts to divert funds, raised through taxation of motor vehicles, from the motor vehicle and highway depart ! sments. We still believe in the principle, but we're inclined to offer an amendment { { at this point in view of the fact that the state is much perplexed over taxes ana . seeks ways to remedy an obviously drastic 1: .situation.
 .. One was offered, we think, first by the . Hartford Times. It suggested that we
 abandon our road-building program for
 some time so that the funds thus accum- -ulated might be used to write off the much
 too large deficit now occurring Tn Connec-
 ticut. We heartily second the idea ot call .ing a moratorium. It wouldn't hurt us to !. suffer few bumps. As matter of fact,
 if isn't rank heresy to say that our road
 projects today are rapidly approaching
 the point of extravaganza. We almost
 seem to welcome the engineering lmpossl-
 bility so that modern machinery and
 methods may overcome the most lnsur-
 mountable of difficulties.
 We may be accused of preaching against
 projects that give jobs to men, but we
 still think halt has to be called sooner .or later. And if we want to revolutionlze sOur tax system, we've simply got to do It Ewithout any added expense to the tax s-payer. There is nothing for him ln any
 plan that envisionrs increased burdens,
 even if these are only temporary We might
 just as we'll continue along as we are at
 that rate. What this state and every
 other state and all the political sub-dlvls- sions. down to the tiniest, must realize IS that the check-rein has to be applied to Expenditures. That's the base of all tax
 reformations. Cut the costs and the taxes
 automatically take care of themselves.

New Haven authorities were quite alarmed one day recently when woman's fur coat was seen floating on the waters of Lake Whitney. It was fished out and by tracing down the labels the owner, guest at the Hotel Taft, discovered. The young lady in question readily admitted tossing the coat into the lake. She was merely trying to get rid of it, since its use fulness to her had been outlived. She simply tossed it into the lake as she was passing by one day.. How much nicer 1t would have been to have sent this article of wearing apparel to some garment cen- ter where it might have been made pre- sentable for an unemployed person to wear. There are so many ways that old clothes can be utilized that it almost seems like crime when we read about anyone discarding their garments in the aforementioned fashion.

London Letter
By JOSEPH GREGG, JR

United Press Staff Correspondent London--(UP)--Nightmare vi- sions of London'sf traffic tangles during the next ten years con-
 jured up by experts here are giv- ing Londoners bad attack of traffic "blues".
 Some of these prophets declare that traffic in the narrow thor oughfares of the metropolis will be slowed down to a one-mile-an- hour tortoise like crawl by 1945 if the volume of taxis, trucks, pri- vate automobiles and elephantinc busses continues to increase. In
 1892, there were 19S,979 vehicles
 registered in the London County Council area. Last year there werc more than a half a million.
 Traffic Merry -Go-RouEds The big street ''merry-go-
 rounds" which are the chief
 barometers of traffic conditions in London, show greater congestion every year. London's busiest roundabout at Hyde Park Corner now is passed by 82,000 vehicles a day compared with 56,000 ten years ago. The number of vehi- c1es passing Trafalgar Square daily has increased from 42,000 to 65,000 in the last ten years, and
 at Blackfriars Bridge from 30,000
 to 42,000.
 In ten years the total number of vehicles registered in the whole of Great Britain has increased from
 1,141, ,00O to 2,282,000. Some ex- perts now are predicting that they
 will have reached a total of 5,000,-
 900 by 1945.
 Visions of the chaotic conditions which may prevail by 1945 have
 been given additional color re- gently by the annual dog-days'
 road-mending epidemic which re- suited in the temporary closing of a number of main arteries. Un- wary motorists found themselves damned for long periods in traffic blocks extending. hundreds of yards. Similar congestion has been caused by the demolition work now in progress on old Wa terloo Bridge.
 Life Tough Problem Life also is going to be a tough problem for the already harassed pedestrian here if the experts are right. Despite the crop of colored traffic lights, pe- derstrian crossings equipped with
 orange "beacons" and new one-
 way streets which constantly are
 making their appearance in Lon- don, the Londoner is coming to the conclusion that crossing a
 main street is developing into a
 rough-and-tumble game of hide and-seek.
 Londoners also are getting more and more into the habit of using subway crossings under busy
 thoroughfares and traffic merry go-rounds' like Piccadilly Circus.
 In fact, itAooks as if the man in
 the street of 1894 will become the
 man under the street of 1945.
 Some of the traffic "futurists'
 believe that going underground
 will be the chief solution of Lon-
 donss road difficulties.
