U1k MAX BERNS

NTHEN the people became dis
w satisfied with their federal gov.
eminent under the Articles Of Con-
federation, a Constitutional Conven'
ton was called. The delegates at this
convention represented not the federal
government but the people. They
wrote a new Constitution creating a
new government, and pro~idod for its
ratification not by Congress but BY
the people. They made the people
forever supreme by providing that our
Constitution could be amended not BY
Congress but only by the people.
This is what makes our government

With war clouds again hanging
ominously over Europe in the
wake of Germany'S remilitariza,

sional leaders today pressed for
early approval of the nations
largest peace-time defense appro'
priation.
Providing more than 81 200, ,000,-
900 to build Americas fighting
machine into topnotch form, the
Navy and Army supply bills will
meet with little pairing down in
view of the troubled international
situation, its supporters said.
Need Urged By Cary
Chairman Cary of the sub
committee handling the SAG mil
non-dollar Navy bill declared:
"In these times it is absolutely
essential for our Army and Navy
to be strong fighting units. We
must continue the defense pro-
gram as it has been laid down."
Mr.. Cary said the naval bill,
on which closed subcommittee
hearings were completed over the
weekend, will follow closely the
Budget Bureau estimates. It will
include provision for construction
of 332 new fighting ariplanes, IL
deStroyerS and six submarines.
Representative Lister Hill CD

House Military Affairs Committee.
said he will insist on early enact
ment of new and more ade-
quate" defense measures. He de-
clared

TARIFF LEVY
BEPASSED
z Million in Income
Paying Class to Face
High Schedule
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service


The Roosevelt tax program
would increase or levy new taxes
upon more than 2,879,O00 persons,
Treasury officials informed a
Ways and Means subcommittee
today.
The information was given as
the subcommittee continued its
efforts to frame a tax bill yield
ing $1,137 100000 requested by
President Roosevelt.
Additional Levies
Treasury tax experts estimated
that 1851, ,768 Of the 4.500 900 per-
sons now filing individual income
tax returns might be forced to
pay additional taxes under the
undistributed corporation earn,
ings tax plan.
They also estimated that 1902
or more persons who pay no in
come taxes now would be affected,
This includes those not filing re-
turns and others who file returns
but pay no tax.
The experts estimates were
based upon full distribution OF
corporation earnings. They added
that it is unlikely that all earn
ings will be paid out in dividends.
Their figures showed that If
corporations were subjected to an
average 80 1.3 per cent tax on un-
distributed earnings and then
paid out all earnings in dividends
no additional yield would be OBJ
tanned. This was said to be due
to the fact that the plan contem.
plates repeal of all existing cor.
poration taxes.
Corporation Yield
The estimated yield Of the new
corporation tax plan, as given to
Congress by President Roosevelt,
was $500, 100000 a year. The ex-
perts believe that many corpora
tions would want to retain some
profits as reserve and would pay
Q tax on them.
ALI tables of the experts were
based upon estimates of a present
net taxable income Of $14, ,161 ,C00,-
900, and an addition of $4,015, ,200,-
900 as a result of the new admin
Stration plan.
Chairman Doughton CD OF
North Carolina, of the House
Ways and Means Committee
who is backing the President s
proposal to tax undiStributed cor.
porate earnings and repeal all
existing corporation taxes, said
it was possible some phases OF
the program could be postponed
until next winter.
Tariff Tax Sought
The fight on the Roosevelt pro-
gram included both direct and
flank attacks. Administration
leaders were equally vehement in
their defense of the principle.
A new threat arose in drive
for consideration of tariff taxes.
Sponsors Of over a score of bills
imposing excises on imports were
pending in Congress.
Formal demands were to be
made by spokesmen for farm, oil
and textile interests that the new
tax bill include tariff taxes de
signed to halt the influx Of i'm
ports from foreign nations.
A combination of the farm
bloc" with representatives Of oil
States and New England mem
bers the latter anxious to curb
japanese textile imports, might
force a tariff fight which would
menace the whole Administration
program.

 German women, as always, pride themselves on smooth skin and a fresh, out-of-doors kind of com- plexion. In Leipzig, where, semi-aI1- nually, buyers from all over the world visit the 70o-year-old Leip- zig Fair, the faces of the native women have a freshly scrubbed, schoolgirl look. They radiate health. In Berlin, cosmetic artificeS are more in evidence, of course. but, even there, a stranger is impressed by sparkling eyes and naturally high-colored cheeks. 0
 Outdoor sports are more widely sponsored than ever before. The huge sports palaces in Berlin are open to women. There they go to- bicycle, skate and to do exercises under the careful supervision of physical training instructors.
 French girls do not make such fetish of exercises and sports, but they walk good deal, ski in the mountains and ride in the praks more frequently than for merly. They drink warm water or hot hrebal teas in the morning. They think about foot health and make appointments for pedicures as regularly as for manicures. q

 Last summer my two year old son fell and broke one of his front teeth in half, and now it is decayed, as are two of his molar teeth. Please tell me If I could or should have any dental work done on such Q young child's teeth? Will he get new set of teeth when he is six years old? (Mrs. M. W.
 AnsWer-Yes, by all means have the dentist treat the baby teeth The child will cut his first perma- nent molars at about the age of six years, and the first permanent incisors or front teeth at about 2 or years. But the soundness and regularity of the permanent teeth depend on how well the primary or milk teeth are preserved. That's why the dentist should treat them now.

canned products are sterilized and safer left in the can than kept in any other manner.
 Vegetables most commonly canned are tomatoes, corn, and peas. The manner of packing nowadays is carefully studied to conserve as far as possible all useful substances. In preparing vegetables for invalid and children's diets, the substances usually are finely divided and sieved.
 The U. s. food and drug law of 1906 provides definite standards for canned goods, and the food and drugs division is very watchful over the sale of spoiled food or food not properly branded.
 Vegetables most commonly used in dried form are beans and peas. The newist process is quick freez- ing and seems to be successful in such vegetables as beans, corn. mushrooms, peas and spinach.
 AS c contribution to the diet. each vegetable must be studied for its spccia, virtues. The proteins of the leaf vegetables. such as lettuce and spinach, are believed to be more nutritive than those of beans and peas. However, the soy bean seems to contain all essential proteins in amounts sufficient to support nor- mal growth.

50 the little girl lighted a can- de to guide her to the house where dreams come true" Mrs. Adams read from the new story-book with the new story-book with the bright green and gold cover. Tt was a red candle"
 Betty waited until her mother paused for breath, then she hand ed her an old, much worn, be- loved brown book. Please read me the one about the beanStock."
 But Betty dear, I've read and reread that. You kno W every word of it. This is a brand-new story"
 But I like the beanstock one best. How did Jack get away? Read what happened to him."
 Mrs. Adams read the tale again and beatific light replaced the boredom in Betty's blue eyes.
 Another Famiuiar Request
 Now read the Three Bears" she said when her mother finished.
 Honey, you know that story by heart!"
 Read it!" the child insisted. Tell me about the chair and three beds and three bowls"
 The new story-book lay unopened for long time. Finally when Betty entered school and began to learn ta make words out of letters she picked it up. She wasn't interested in the story. It was much more fun to make the beanstock and the three bears come to life under her eyes. She liked forming words, though, and pretty 500 nthe old favorites weren't hard enough.
 Parents sometimes worry because of the tenacity with which a child clings to well-loved story. They are afraid that the child has a Phlegmatic mind which does not feel the urge of exploration and ad- venture.
 Betty doesn't have any interest in anything new" a mother will vail.
 Understand Did Stories
 There is no need for father or mother to disturb himself Every child has few favorite stories for which he will ask, over and over again. No new tale will ever take their places. Even the change of one word will be noted by the child and he will resent it. The omission of a paragraph of description will bring an instant dissent.
 But you didn't say how Goldi- locks looked!
 Children seem to love their stories better as they grow thread bare. Maybe it is because their juvenile minds cannot grasp them until there has been much repeti- ton. Maybe 1t is because they are so much more at home in familiar fields.
