Who Is It That Pays and Pays and Pays? OINE out of every seven income taxpayers in the United States is a woman and one out of every six dollars received through the income tax is paid by a woman. This large proportion of women taxpayers Is disclosed in an analysis of the income tax payments of last year just completed by the bureau of internal revenue. Out of a total of 7,698,321 income tax returns filed throughout the nation last year 1,046,322 were filed by women. The proportion of their payments, however, is larger than their numerical ratio because, out of the total of $703,692,165 produced by the income tax $117,724,753 was paid by women. Most married women taxpayers include their income—if any—with their husbands’ and a joint return is filed, but the report showed that 170,573 wives filed a separate return from their husbands. They disclosed independent net income of $923,268,689, upon which they paid a tax of $49,209,921. There were 157,669 women listing themselves as heads of families. Their income totaled $478,642,828 Aid their tax bill was $10,860,493. Single women comprised the largest group of feminine taxpayers. There were 718,080 women who described themselves as neither heads of families nor wives, with independent incomes. They reported earnings of $1,783,451,105, upon which they paid $57,654,339 in taxes. What’s the moral? Oh, nothing; just furnishing our women readers some figures to have handy in case anybody starts an argument. ‘This Evolution Business’ A 1 "*"""" S good a lecture as the editor has heard on the controversy over the teaching of evolution was delivered by a man sitting in front of a seed store. It was in a little town not far from this city. The man appeared to be a farmer, though he didn’t say he was. “1 think I git at the —what you call ’em —fundamentals—of this argument that Bryan and the rest have started down in Tennessee,” he said. “I don’t know anything about this evolution business. I try to stick kinder elose to the Bible and to the la#, although the cider does, mebbe, git a little hard sometimes, if we don’t watch it. It seems ridiculous to say that

Will Women Be Drafted?

Times 'Washincrton Bureau, 1322 Xeu> York Avenue. x'u "I ASHINGTON, June 17. —— yy Women who, like their -I brothers, may be subject to military draft in the next war, will certainly be permitted to take their part in the defense test parades on July 4. So announces the War Department, thereby revealing another talon of the citizen army octopus which aims to reach out here, there and everywhere and bring everybody into the fold where army life is coordinated with citizenship until you can hardly tell one from the other. It Isn't the part that the women will play in the defense tests which i3 so important as the study which is being made of what they did in the last war and how they cam be organized into an official reserve corps tc do these things again immediately on call, If the occasion arises. Shall They Be Drafted One of the questions being studied In that connection is: Shall women be recruited for this Women’s Army Service Corps through voluntary enlistment or shall there be a selective draft law? Miss Anita E. Phipps, of the General Staff of the War Department In charge of woman’s relations, has Information in her office to the effect that 100,000 American women served In the last war in various capacities with the military and naval forces of the United Statea. More than 22,000 were with the A. E. F. and 12,000 were enlisted in the Navy and Marine Corps. The duties that women can perform in time of war, of course, do npt include fighting with bayonets and machine guns. But they can be cooks, dietitians, nurses, welfare workers, clerks, telephone and telegraph operators, laundresses, matrons, tailors, post exchange workers, reclamation service employes, waitresses —and they can do a good many of these things under fire, as many of them proved in the last war. I D. 8. C. to Norses As General Hines, chief of staff, recently pointed out, the Distinguished Service Cross was awarded to three Army nurses and one Red Cross nurse during the World War for extraordinary heroism displayed while serving with the Army in the field while thirty-two women awarded the Dlstingpjfiherl Service

we started out as some kind of little worms away back there and gradually growed into human beings like we are now. Fcr the matter of that, it seems ridiculous to say us men was first made outa mud and the women out of a man’s rib, like the Adam and Eve story. But 1 don’t think that makes much difference. All it comes to is that we didn't amount to much in the beginnin’ and that ain’t hard to believe, since we don’t amount to a whole lot now! “But, as I understand it, that ain’t the point to the argument. The point seems to be whether the fellers we elect to the legislator is the ones to say what’s goin’ to be taught in the schools, or the fellers we hire to teach school. The fellow we sent up to the legislater from here ain’t no scholar, any more than I am. He’s an all right feller on ditches and roads and he’s honest, but I wouldn’t send my boy and girl to school to him, because he stopped goin’ to school when I did and be never learned about this evolution business any more’n I did. “We got as purty a little township high school as you want to see and I guess we got purty good teachers. They act like they got common sense, from what my boy and girl says. Anyway they went a lot further to school than me or my wife and they must have learned a lot more. They teach the boy and the girl about this evolution business, I guess; anyway they read it in their books. But I don’t imagine they try to make the scholars believe it if they don’t want to. Heh! I’d like to see anybody make that fool boy of mine believe anything he didn’t want to believe! “Here’s what it gits down to. Bryan, I read, says the voters ought to be allowed to say what’ll be taught and what won’t be taught. Well, that means me and a lot of others like me. Think I want to try to pick out the books for our high school? What do we hire these educated teachers for? “You see, I believe in education. I always wished I’d had more of it. And I ain’t one of them that says what was good enough for me is good enough for my kids. ■ I want my boy to go up to Purdue University if times ain’t too hard and learn better ways of farmin ’ and the other things they teach, when he gits through high school. My gosh! Think I want to tell them college professors which books they got to teach him out of? No, ain't the way. The way is to hire the best teachers we can git and leave it to them. They can put what they know in front of the scholars and then leave it to the scholars to git all they can out of it. ‘ “I ain’t sayin’ I didn’t vote fer Bryan and free silver at 16-to-l, but he’s plumb wrong about this, I’ll bet.”

Medal, one of them a chief telephone operator at general headquarters. Putting the women in non-com-battant posts will release more men to go over the top. “We know,” says General Hines, “that the women of America do not desire to sit idly by and be protected. Their desire is to help in every possible way, , . . Our study is a study of feminine capabilities and feminine strength.” There are many technical questions involved in forming a Women’s Reserve Corps. There is the question of salaries—whether the women shall receive commissions with the same rate of pay as men who have done this work in the past. There is the problem of putting all those women in time of war under military discipline and orders, cv whether it is wiser to let them be free of such restrictions unless actually with the troops. Nurses in the Army Nurse Corps now- have commissions. The chief nurse ranks a$ a major in the Regular Army.

Sunshine and Short Skirts

By N. D. Cochran FTER all the younger generaatlon of girls is not so fool.l ish as some of their elders profess to believe. In fact, they are more scientific In their short skirts, low-necked gowns and peekaboo stocklngo than their grandmothers were with their trailing skirts and choker collars. Anyhow, Dr. Leonard Hill, of the National Institute of Medical Research of London, says these girls have a better chance for health than the boys, who wear too much clothing. And It all Is due to the healthgiving ultra-violet rays of sunlight. , Need Sunshine * Dr. Hill says; “I have no doubt that in the near future both men’s and women’s clothing will be designed with a view of allowing the body to receive as plentiful a supply as possible of the sun's rays.” Scientists, in .their persistent search for the truth about things, have learned that sunlight on the body has a beneficial influence on health through the action of these rays on the bloodstream. They have learned that the numerous ductless glands In the body which were called ductless glands because they had nJyvisible outlet, actually affect growth! and personalitj'.

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON

CLIMAX OF A MERRY QUIP At- -ILLEN SHAFT, former night policeman at Covington u_—l (Ind.), was sentenced yesterday to two to twenty years in prison for manslaughter. He was the author and perpetrator of a side-splitting practical joke.

Late one night i t couple of months ago he found an acquaintance do* ing In the waiting room of the railroad station. Drawing his gun he fired a couple of shots into the room to startle the sleeper. It was quite a merry quip. However, the sleeper wasn’t startled—he was Ttllled. The ond bullet went [ through his

Nelson

head. Judged even by the standards of the practical joker the prank was not a howling success. The victim was merely executed instead of tortured. Infliction of mental and physical pain, and covering the squirming victim with ridicule and embarrassment, are the real alms of such pranks. A sense of humor is invaluable. Without It man would long 6ince have found the strain of existence Intolerable. Man’s funnybone has been his most effective weapon In his battle with grim nature. He has laughed and progressed. Perhaps no price Is too high to pay for a hearty laugh. But the practical joker is a pest. He adds nothing to world’s stock of laughter. He mistakes cruelty for a delicate sense of humor and, too often, his funnybone is another pe ,on’s skull. QUICK CRIMES AID SLOW TRIALS SIuAL of William Evans, Terre Haute, alleged Spencer bank robber, set for yesterday in the Putnam County Circuit Court has been continued until Oct. 6. This is the second postponement of trial in thks case, the first having been granted in January. The Spencer bank robbery occurred in November. 1923. A year and a hn'f later "Blackie" Linton—after several spectacular breaks from jail—and several accomplices in the affair were convicted. Only recently have they begun to serve their prison sentences. Two years after the robbery'— and almost a year after the case

Unsigned requests cannot be answered. All letters are confidential.—Editor. Is a permit necessary before tearing down an old bam and erecting a garage? Yes. What was the fastest time ever made on a bicycle? The fastest time was fifty miles, three yards in one hour, made by Caldwell, Sept. 1, 1903, at Boston, Mass. What is the difference in the lifting power of hydrogen, helium and natural gas? The lifting power of pure hydrogen Is 0.0751 pounds per cubic foot; pure helium. 0.0696 pounds per cubic foot, natural gas (rich in methane), 2.0320 pounds per cubic inch. Which is the best absorbent, wool or cotton? Wool. Is there any estimate as to the number of motor vehicles in the world and which countries have the greatest number? It has been estimated that there were 18,023,584 motor vehicles in tbe world in 1923. Os this number the United States had 15,092,177. The United Kingdom came next with 642,853, Canada next with 642,751 and France next with 444,812, Germany next with 152,068, and Argentina next with 118,091. All the other countries had less than 100,000. Can you give a brief account of the life of Admiral Farragut? David Glasgow Farragut was bom of Spanish origin, near Knoxville, Tenn., July 5, 1801. Entering the Navy in 1810, he became captain in 1855. In the Civil War he commanefed the amament fitted out (1862) for thj capture of New Orleans. The approach to the city was strongly defended by batteries a Confederate fleet, and Farragut bombarded them for six days without effect; but at length, during the darkness, he forced the river, destroyed the Confederate vessels, and entered the city on the twentyfifth of April. On the fifth of August 1865 he destroyed the gunboats in Mobile Bay and a few days later Mobile surrendered. He was made vice admiral, the grade being created for him by Congress, as was also that of admiral (1866). He died Aug. 14, 1870. How Is terracotta ware made? Terra cotta is usually made from a mixture of clays, or a material of a refractory or semi-refractory character, these being used because of their buff-burning qualities and resistance to heat in burning. The ware. If of simple design. Is pressed by hand In plaster moulds, but complicated shapes require to be modeled free-hand. Great care is neccessary in drying and burning the ware, in order to prevent crackling and warping; indeed, large designs have to be made and burned in several parts, which are afterward fitted together. The burning is done in mufile kilns.

was first set— William Evans, also charged with the crime will be tried—maybe. No Intricate questions of law or fact are involved in the case. It is just a plain robbery case in which the defendant's guilt or innocense could be established in a day's trial. It is such a case as would be disposed of before lunch In an English court. There a Jury would be Impaneled In fifteen minutes and a few hours later the defendant would be freed or on his way to prison. But In Indiana the case will be In court a year or more, at least. Postponements, changes of venue and appeals may keep It there indefinitely. Indiana is much concerned over the crime wave that now engulfs It. Banditry Is alarming. Everything from Jazz to cocaine Is blamed for making bandits. Perhaps they contribute, but slow trials do most to encourage bandity. Crime Is rampant not so much because of cocaine-sniffing criminals as drugged legal machinery. SEEING BY RADIO FRANCIS C. JENKINS. I J| former Hoosier, who is disI J tinguished as a scientist and Inventor for his work In the moving picture and radio fields. Is working on a device for radio vision. He would transmit visual images of actual objects by wireless. Os course It Is Impossible—like perpetual motion, squaring the circle or other unsolvable problem. He just has a fantastic dream. But a few day’s ago he demonstrated his device before the Secretary' of the Navy and other prominent Government officials. It worked! On the plate of the receiver, as on the ground glass plate of a camera, appeared the Image as thrown on the transmitter seven miles distant. The feat was scarcely noticed by the press or by the public. It was just another of those little radio stunts that are so common and so much to be expected that they don’t excite more than passing comment. Less than thirty days ago Marconi succeeded in sending a message by wireless telegraph across the English Channel. It was an astounding feat. A couple of centuries before it would have been called witchcraft and he would have been boiled in oil. Now the human voice Is transmitted around the world by* wireless. Pictures taken In Hawaii are reproduced In New York a few minutes later, and visual Images ride the ether. In five years the wonders of radio have become commonplace. Is it safe to say anything is Impossible?

VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE EHE Indiana Farm Bureau Federation will cooperate with the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association to keep tax levies and bond issues down, it was announced Monday by Harry Miesse, secretary of the taxpayers’ association. There is plenty of room in the State for the combined efforts of the two organizations. In the year ending June 80, 1924, State and local governments in Indiana expended $196,195,412.49—m0re than S6O per capita. In addition income tax and other Federal levies during the same year nicked Indiana taxpayers for $40,000,000 or $50,000,000. Did every Hoosier, man, woman and child receive sixty dollars’ worth of government? There is an insistent demand for lightening the tax burden. Both public officials and private citizens are openly and vociferously committed to reduction of public expenditures. But left to themselves public officials do not reduce. They have to be prodded. Last year through the activities of the taxpayers’ association and local Farm Bureaus reductions were obtained in tax levies in fifty-two counties. If these organizations , had remained inactive there would have been no lowering of rates in the fifty-two counties despite the public worship of economy by the county officials. Eternal vigilance on the part of taxpayers’ organizations and individ'ials ir the price that must be paid for real economy of public expenditures. Eternal vigilance but not bitter opposition to all expenditures and all bond Issues. Merely slashing a tax rate by curtailing necessary public functions and preventing necessary public improvements is not economy. What the taxpayer wants is a dollar’s worth of government or a dollar's worth of public improvement for every dollar he pays in taxes.

Jazz Bands Are Warming Up the Air Now

By Walter D. Hickman SURN your phonograph into a Jazz furnace If you like. It is easy these days since the "shimmy fox trots” have hit the land of jazz. Trick groans, screams and slowactlon syncopation has resulted in music that produces anything from the shimmy up to complete exhaus tion. The other night I turned by phonograph into a jazz furnace when I played “Play Me Slow.” by the Mound City Blue Blowers. These men are the parents of hot, slowmoving Jazz. Old Man Symphony probably would turn over in his grave if he heard some of the new tone effects that these lads draw out of their musical instruments. Had the thought that elephants in the jungle would have a gorgeous time doing the “trunk glide” to this hot stuff. On the other side of this Brunswick record you will hear some more of the same brand called "Gettin’ Told.” Both are fox trots. Another form of dance syncopation Is presented by the Original New Orleans Rhythm Kings on an Okeh record, which Includes “She's Crying for Me Blues" and "Golden Leaf Strut.” This organization has good saxophone and clarinet. It is a cross between the crashing and loud jazz stuff. Bring on the Ice Your jazz thermometer would welcome a nice treatment after you play another Okeh record made by the Melody Sheiks. Am speaking of "Let Me Linger Longer in Your Arms" and “Birmingham Bound,” played by Emerson Gill and his orchestra. GUI has one of those hot Jazz playing crowds that oozes soothin' but hot melody all over the place. Gill knows how to put honey, sweetness and heat into his stuff. He does not make the mistake of going in for hot crashing stuff, but turns out the brand that Just oozes about. Whoever plays the piano for Gill Is no false alarm. His piano does not sound like a false alarm. This piano sure does have personalitj. Finding Class Have noticed that concert music is in demand just now. We first got our taste from European orchestras that have dignified syncopation by keeping it symphonic. Such an organization in spirit is the Brunswick Hour Orchestra. Their first Brunswick record that I heard includes “Tea for Two” from “No, No, Nanette," and “Listening,” from "Music Box Revue.” This record treats two popular tunes in a dignified symphonic manner. Here is a delightful record to play Just before retiring at night, because it does bring rest. Victor lists the following dance

Nellie!” and "Pozzo” played by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra; “When I Think of You” and "Lady of the Nile” played by Howard Lannin and his BenDainty Maid By Hal Cochran I never have noticed an over amount of powder spread over your face. It’s likely you feel that the rouge doesn’t count, for I never have noticed a trace. Your eyelashes haven’t that stickylike trace and your lips are not covered with red. You're satisfied, quite, with your nature-made face, and you’re wise, ’cause you’re using your head. A lot of the foolishness fashion decrees has had no effect upon you. Your skirts are not shortened way up to your knees, and you’re sane in the things that you do. There once was a time when girls demanded respect through their sensible dainty-llke way. It seems that you knew what would be the effect of the rashness prevailing today. A worthy example! That's just what you are. And you make admiration w’orth while, You’re smarter and sweeter and wiser, by far, than the girls who have fallen for style.
