tion, has given her a wealth of ex-
perience. Mrs. La Du brought to
the welfare work of Minnesota rare
personal qualities and talents in
addition to her training and exper-
fence as an active attorney-at-law.
Her welfare work in Minnesota
has for some years made her a ma
tional figure and her knowledge
and advice has been in constant
demand at Washington and
throughout the country. Mrs. La
Du has, from it's beginning, been
the active vice president and dir
ector of the American Public We'll
fare Association in assisting states
to establish welfare organizations.
The quality Of her service was re-
Gently notably recognized in her
appointment by Miss Frances Per-
kins, secretary of labor, as a men,
Der of the Advisory Commission to
supervise maternal and child well
fare undertakings under the new
federal Social Security Act.
Mrs. La Du's election as presi-
dent of the American Prison Asso-
citation has created something of a
national furore. Complimentary
comment comes from all quarters
of the country. A Colorado paper

with an almost life-size picture of

improve the physical and mental
well-being of the patients by care

country. Dominated by the uncon-

Masks and Costumes Mark
Strange Michoacan Dance

The dance of Los viejitos (old
men). Is performed In the towns Of
the Michoacan province. 1t is one
Of the eccentric old Indian dances
and one Of the native entertain
ments.
The dance Is executed by six jolly
"old fellows" who limp on the stage
seemingly suffering with the most
crippling forms of rheumatism.
The leader, who plays a small
guitar called a jarana. begins with
fairly simple step which the rest,
haltingly and painfully follow.
Then one of the others takes the
lead with a more intricate routine.
The music changes with each
routine and both steps and music
take on a speed which only the
clevereSt and limberest of youths can
follow-with humorous interludes
in which they resume their old age.
Costumes are as whimsical as the
dance itself-genial looking masks
nodded from Michoacan clay; flow
ing locks twisted from the white
fiber of the maguey; huanengo
embroidered in red. worn over the
shoulders; wide-sleeved shirt and
extremely baggy trousers anchored
with a red sash; to top it all,
broad-brimmed hat trimmed with
flowers or ribbons; and, Of course,
cane usually made with a gro
tesquely carved top. Costumes,
steps. and music were originated by
the Indians.

NEWS AND COMMENT

Reckless federal spending will 60
on piling up this debt until the vot-
ers put a stop to it, but in Mime
sofa there Is increasing pressure to
apply the brakes. The Minnesota
Taxpayers Association is pushing
vigorously its agitation for some
sort of expenditure control for
Minnesota. That it has strong pop
ular backing was evidenced in
June 1894, when out of 500 legis-
lative candidates all but three de-
clared, via .ne QUESTIONABLE route,
for tax limitation. When the chosen
solons got together, however, they
found themselves faced with almost
insuperable practical difficulties.
AT the regular legislative session
last winter the Minnesota Taxpay-
ers Association backed by H. F..
SGT, comprehensive measure pro-
posing a compulsory system OF bud
getting for every municipality in
the state, putting all municipalities
on a cash basis, rigidly restricting
borrowing powers and creating a
Tax Adjustment Board, as sort
of appeal body, in each county.
This measure passed the House but
failed in the Senate.
The Minnesota Taxpayers Asso-
citation has revised this bill and
will submit the revision to the
special session called for December
End and demand its enactment as
a Local Financial Affairs Act"
Provisions of this proposal are SIM
liar to the provisions of H. F. S67,
but are somewhat more liberal as
to appeals. The salient features are
requirements for operating all
municipalities on a cash basis, the
adoption in October of each year
of a budget to govern all expendi-
lures during the succeeding fiscal
year, and the rigid restriction OF
borrowing under the control of the
State Tax Commission. The local
appeal board is to be a County
Tax Committee of nine persons.
The popular demand for some
form of expenditure control Is
strong and growing, but whether
the special session will do any
thing about it is problematical.
Some sentiment is developing for
the exclusion of all tax matters
from the special session calendar
but it is rash prophet who will
attempt to say what any legislative
sitting will do.

that an extra scholarship was pro-

that some other boy, who can't earn
money like I do, can 60 to camp, too.
1t was mighty nice of those people
to send me last year and things were
so nice at camp that I just thought
I'd earn my own money this year.
II sold papers every afternoon after
school and every morning before
school and I'm making some money
that way. I did get up to two dollars,
but we had to have some bread and
a few things one day and mother
didn't have any money so I bought
'em. But I'm making money again
and on Saturdays I hunt junk and
sell that, or carry bags home from
the stores for ladies and they most
always give me a nickel or a dime.
I'm going to keep right on hustling
and I'm sure I'll have enough money
by camp time so that I can pay my

them are able, through their own ef-
