little Dutch girls, anyhow. Lois has a lovely level-eyed gaze such as we like to see in little girls-(and big ones, too)-and she's very charm ing.
 Here's winsome girl who has a most euphonious name, Dolly La Bella, year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Canio La Bella, of 158 Oak street. And only three years old, Dolly, with such wistful express sion? You really look quite, quite grownup from where we sit in the orchestra and we can see you now, dancing out of the wings. But, that must be later.
 Baby in Bonnet
 A baby in a bonnet, is the title which might go with the picture of Airline McGovern, year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. James J. McGovern of Is Calvin street. Airline is the kind of sweet little girl who has cheeks everybody would like to tweak. A cheek you'd like to tweak yes?
 Next, Marlene F. Reyher, year old daughter of MT and Mrs Fred Reyher, of 57 Laurel street, who has the same sort of boise we suppose her famous namesake shows in her pictures, too. The hairdress of Mar lene must be the very latest style because it is so attractive and is the first we've seen just like it among the girls in the CONTEST.
 Jolly Loretta
 A jolly baby is Loretta Farmer, II months old daughter of MT. and Mrs Ralph Farmer, of 789 North Main street, and the happy babies are the ones we like to visit most of all. Doesn't appear as if Loretta ever wanted to weep like lots of babies do when daddy is trying to sleep. (Not to mention mummy, of courSe)
 q believe that smile every min- ute of the day will keep the doctor away" Loretta told the enquiring reporter from THE DEMOCRAT when he went up to see her today.
 Demure Helen
 Helen Miller, year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fred Miller of 65 Field street, has as demure an ex- pression as you ever saw on Con- stance Bennett, we bet. But, of course, Constance is blonde, and from Helen's picture, we'd say that she had dark hair and lovely.
 Here's @ cute baby girl, Mercedes Goumy, ' months old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Emil Goumy, of 6 Brennan place. Hey, there, Mer- cedes. We used ot know a little girl in Mexico who was named Mercedes

 The collector explained that many of the smaller taxpayers now arc making their May installment pay ments and that these will figure about an average of yesterdays re- turns, $42,000, until the latter part of the month.
 Many businesses, however, have taken advantage of the discount pos sible by payment of both the May and October irstallments at one time.
 The total receipts to date for all payments is about $1,228,00 which shows better percentage of return than at this time last year, it was stated,

Things are booming in THE MOST POPULAR BABY CON- TEST and votes are coming in with such volume that the ticker is run ming behind the ballotting, as they might say in Wall street.
 The CONTEST MANAGER Is busy keeping in touch with the rep resentatives of the candidates and 1t looks like real election up in his office at THE DEMOCRAT these afternoons.
 Organizing Campaign
 Seems that some of the candi- dates are organizing friends and relatives into actual political" par ties and the workers" are out can- wasting the city to get the votes ne- cessary to elect their candidate, MOST POPULAR BABY OF 1938". Which means, too, that the winner gets the $100 cash grand first prize, with a loving cup, as well as the title.
 It is difficult to get all of the pictures of entries into the news paper in any set arrangement or schedule, so we're just running more and more, from day to day, and hope pretty soon to be able to feature the leaders by publishing their pictures with the standings. And about the standings, these are changing from hour to hour, a boy getting enough votes to lead girl, or the other way around, which, some folks will say, Is more natural girls leads boy, If you see what is meant.
 Eight Girl Babies
 So, today, we'll publish pictures of eight more entries and we're giving the girls a "break", as it were, by not having any boys at all. This is GIRL BABY'S DAY in the first voting week of THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST OF 1888.
 First off, we have Ann Beverly Sirni, 2 year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Sirni, of 354 Lake wood road. Just like other girl ba- bies in the CONTEST, the serious ness of Ann Beverly's expression in this picture is relieved by a dimple in her chin. And she has curl right in the middle of her forehead, too, which means that when she is good, she is very, very good, accord ing to the old verse. The rest of 1t we wouldn't know anything about.
 Lois King
 Lois King, 3 year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fred King of 510 Baldwin street, has her dark hair cut like you'd expect maybe that of a little Dutch girl-or maybe we're wrong, not knowing SO much about

 Attorney Harry Spellman, in c plea to the court, explained that his client was ignorant of the law, was of standing in the community, and did not know that the tailoring work he gave out was to be done at home. His client, he also said, paid union wages for work done outside.
 Prosecutor Charles Summa de- clared that the violation was serious, since those doing nome work" arc not protected by the compensation laws of other labor statutes.
 Schlosser was arrested after an investigation by Mrs. Theresa Sirica Crook, labor department investi- gator.
