I refer to the comic strips in the newspapers.
 If you not follower of the comic strips, you are missing chance to escape revolutions in the world you have cherished, from inside pages where if you are mddleaged you turn to who died yesterday, into never-never land where nothing changes, where nobody grows any older, where Time is not.

 Only small part of this money is taken from us in direct taxes The greater part filters its way into gov- ernment through "hidden or indirect taxes. It is a major item in the cost of living.
 Bread provides an excellent example of this. No commodity is necessary Yet each loaf of bread you buy represents 5 different taxes paid Some of these taxes paid by the farmer, by the flour mill by the bakery. Every of them has add

City Council Met In Rush Session
 Monday Evening g

The city council met last ev- enmg at pm. instead of 8 in order to rush thru routine busi- ness of city management, be- fore baseball practice started.
 The reason for that is that four members of the council were turning out for the Com mercial indoor ball team, in addi tion to the mayor.
 A communication was received from the combined lodges set ting forth reasons why it would be unable to pay the price asked by the council for the old school building as meeting place and suggesting that the lodges be al- lowed to use the building The communication was not acted up on at last nights meeting
 A proposed water delivery or dinance, supposed to come up last night, was postponed because all of the representative water bus inesses were not present at a meeting of the Health committee a day or so ago, and it was i'm possible to agree in full as to several provisions. The propos- ed ordinances is to come up at the next regular meeting.

COST OF SNOW
D. PROBLEM

While a force of 800 men con-
tinued to dig the Nations Capital
out Of what is left of the 18
inches Of snow which blanketed
the Capital last week, District
officials today began computing
the cost Of the tremendous labor
and pondering whether it would
be necessary to curtail local en-
gineer projects or to petition a
deficiency appropriation Of Con-
greSS.
It was estimated that the cost
would run more than, $50, 900. In
addition to using the regular
force Of $50 employees of the
Highway, Sewer and City Refuse
Departments, the District called
in $50 temporary laborers Of the
department and 1,500 workers on
Works Progress Administration
rolls.
The officials also hired between
IS and 100 trucks to aid the equip
ment Of the highway, street clear
ing and city refuse departments.
Funds for footing the bill of
removing the snow must come
from the current budgets of the
Highway, Sewer and City Refuse
departments.
For the next several days, the
snow removers will open up catch
basins and clear busy thorough
fares throughout the city.
Engineer Commissioner Dan I.
Sultan today expressed pleasure
over the manner in which the
task was handled, saying very few
complaints had been received by
his office.

HEIRLOOMS
BY HELEN ESsARY

About so deserving widows, re.
lated by marriage to Gridiron
Club genius, are receiving prizes
this week from Mrs. Roosevelt for
their superb acting.
On the night Of the last Grid
iron Club dinner, the wives of the
Cabinet members, other officials
in government. and temporarily
deserted wives of Gridiron Club
members were asked in to 1900
Pennsylvania Avenue to put on an
evening Of fun and merriment. Or
something like that.
So gifted were the ladies that
three skits complete with songs
and dance and recitation were
voted gorgeously successful. Four
individual actresses were given
special mention.
The prizes that recognize such
talent are enchanting silver match
boxes decorated with THE Seal
Of the President of the United
States" The seal, a triumphant
eagle announcing "E Pluribus
Unum," is about the size of a So
cent piece. So you see the match
box is of a useful proportion.
Some of the Gridiron widow
thus gracefully rewarded by a
most thoughtful First Lady are
going to tuck their match boxes
away with the family heirloomS
and keep such treasures for their
descendants. And leave them as
the tangible and very attractive
evidence of THAT Time Your
Grandma Acted in the White
House."
