Indiana has not added any ti"» I take* sines 1933. g record In these , day* of taxation, considering the I old age peMloti benefit* aud other new ipivrrnmental obligation* . which must be met one way or the other. In New York City, an extra I one cent tax ha* been voted on I cigarette*, making the price per i pack, 17 cents, which include* uiie ' rent for the alate.

ARMIES AND UNEMPLOYMENT: Holland ha* adopted a practical j method of solving its unctuploy|mi nt problem. It I* puttlug into i it* army 164N8 men who are out ‘of Job*. They take the places of ] ’ a similar number who have been , jabb- to prove that they are neededj !in civilian life. That method of I dealing with the situation solves . two problems: That of the man al 1 ready under arm* but atixiou* to get out so that he may take bl* \ normal place lu the industrial life iof the country, and that of the I man who has nothing to do aud is | in need of employment. The plan would work well in Holland, no doubt, where the army is not unwieldy and all able-bodied men are expected to serve for a ; time under their country's colors It would not be practicable in this j country, for example, where those < in the army enlist for dellnile per-1 j lode. Our army is a defense- army I and not an organisation tor the I drilling of citiaena for short period* |of service. Furthermore, we could not take unemployed and put them I : into the ranks unless they were ' willing to go. except, of course, tn . time of war. The army situation in Europe- j prevents the- possibility of unemployment In some countries. The great mass of German and Italian men. for example, are under arms They arc supported by the govern- j ; ment and at the expense of the tax- j luiyer They might be idle. If it were not for the military mobilise thin. One cannot help wondering what complication* there will be in German and Italian industry and j civil life it and when the nations return to normalcy and the armies I are reduced to the legitimate needs of thdr countries. — Indianapolis | Star. |f~TWENTI yearsTl AGO TODAY I July 8 — Postmaster General ( Burleson tender* resignation.

After sunset the light •* | very blue, so that yellows and | reds look black or gray, and blues look pale or white. Candlelight, on the other hand, is filled with, red and yellow rays, and blues are not developed. I doubt that thel same dress would look Well In both kinds of light Q. Why do flics bite before it rains? A. E. O A. I do not know. I think it is because they smell blood best then. Most insects bite by odor, not by sight. All odors are more pronounced just before a rain, and the flies can locate you better at that time. My esperience with flies, which is extensive. Is that they bite everytime they get near, rain or no rain. LOOK AT THE SUN You cannot look at tbe sun without risk of being blinded.

CHAPTER XXXIV Every Sunday they went to tbe Wilsons tor dinner. Mask-like, their faces smiled, their voices chatted falsely. Not that there was ever much to talk about—for Marie to talk about. Just ferryboat gossip with Pop. and listening to his opinions about senators and graft, and the tariff and taxes and the dole, and saying “Yea" and “No" at the right moment, while Mrs. Wilson spoke in a low voice, out in the kitchen to Edward. “Ada says ... not that I am one to think ... Bee sent *2O ... if you could let me have ... Maybe the elder Wilsons enjoyed it, but both Edward and Marie were tired from the effort when it was over. She knew that Edward wanted to give up the apartment and go back to his mother’s. She had heard enough of the low-voiced kitchen confidences, for that. “It would bo cheaper," he said >nce “And it will help the folks * All the pent-up resentment of we*ks swelled within her. She •hoked back the first angry retort, but she let herself say. "You got me there once—l’m not going back. If they’re hard up they can rent the rooms. I’m sorry for Pop, but if your mother is so stubborn—and so extravagant that she—" The door shut. Edward had walked out e e • Marie’s dark curls were as glossy and carefully arranged as ever, her magnolia-like skin as lovely, her pretty mouth as carefully rouged. But the pictures didn’t tum out so well any more. There was something lacking—something gone. •'You ought to take a decent vacation," Walt said. Re had hern south for several months, and he was shocked to see her so changed. ’’l’m all right, really. I feel fine." "You’d b»tter take care of yourself. Julie will be shocked when she comes, and she told me she was coming soon." Marie looked worried. “Yes—she meant to come a long while ago, she wrote, but Charlie sprained his ankle and couldn't drive. You really don’t think she’ll fuss about me, Walt? Do 1 look that bad?" "You look hollow-eyed, and you know you’ll have to give up modeling for Herta unless you put on a little weight He's rather disgusted about it. She laughed “Poor Herts. He takes things sc hard. But perhaps I do, too. 1 don’t sleep. I don’t know why -I just don’t sleep. I might take a vacation when mother come* -but not now. I wouldn’t like It now—really. I’m happier working." He watched her shrewdly. ‘What's the matter, Mane Theresa? Chings not going so well?’’ "Oh -everything’s all right."
