JULY 27, 1926
HEARING MUST BE HELD ON SANITARY AREA fIK FIGURE Made Necessary by Ruling of State Supreme Court. The State board of tax commissioners must hold a hearing on a proposed tax levy of 65 per cent for 1926 instead of 5.5 cents, a rate which Shank administration and county officials established. The Indiana Supreme Court made thi3 ruling Monday, affirming a decision of Marion County Superior Court. The Supreme Court decided that the city council is the only body having authority to fix the tax rate and the amount as to each city fund The Shank administration council had passed over Mayor’s Shank’’ veto a levy of 6.5 cents in place of the 5.5 cents Shank recommended. To Try to Collect Should the tax board, at its second hearing on the levy, fix the rate at 6.5 cents, the board of sanitary commissioners will try to collect the additionel cent in the second installment of taxes to be paid by the first Monday in November, according to Russell T. Mac Fall, board member. Mac Fall said the additional cent requested would give the board $65,000. He expressed doubt that collection could be made from taxpayers because the first installments of taxes have been paid. . From Fall Payments “However, we might be able to collect one-half, or $32,500 from fall tax payments,” Mac Fall said. The Supreme Court also reversed a decision of the Marjjp County Circuit Court and held that a 50 per cent horizontal increase the State tax board ordered for the Western Electric Company should bet held invalid because the concern was not notified.

A typical American face—“ The Young American," witll (left) the sculptor who modelled it, Dr. Victor Frisch.
19 it X/.'A Service NEW YORK, July 27.—Strength, kindness and mystery-—those are the typical qualities in the face of the American man. Dr. Victor Frisch, Austrian sculptor and once favorite pupil of the great Rodin, makes this analysis of the he sees here. The sculptor came to the United States to do a series of portrait busts of prominent citizens. Colonel E. M. House, the intimatS adviser of President Wilson, was his first subject. Colonel House, says Dr. Frisch, has a typical American face and fer that reason was a fascinating but difficult model. “Women in America have less interesting faces than the men,” says Dr. Frisch. “Their appearance is less original. I believe this is because for generations they have been imitating European models of style and beauty. They still are doing so, Women the world over try to smile, walk, dress and otherwise look like Parisian women. They have succeeded to a certain extent, and so all look alike. Beauties From West “The most beautiful girls in the United States, I think. a,re from the West. The really striking beauties here are of the tall blonde type.” American men's faces are a msffek, Dr. Frisch says. They go farther in this respect even than the Orientals and often present a baffling ei.igma. “The so-called ‘poker face,’ ” he says, “is the distinguishing characteristic of the new American. His face lack the sternness of the former American type of the New Englander, but is,, nevertheless, not so obvious. It also lacks the mobility

of feature which characterizes nearly every other race. Americans More Handsome “There is about' this frozen appearance a certain classicism which lends itself well to sculpture. The American is more handsome than the Englishman and resembles, more than any other type I know af, the early Roman. However, his face is kinder than the Roman's and lacks the full, sensual lines about the mouth. “The typical American has a strong nose, firm mouth, broad forehead of medium height, rather hollow cheeks and deep-set eyes.” “But what are the typical Americans?” Dr. Frisch is asked, "from what race are they descended?” “From all races,” is the reply. “I find that nearly all men whose parents were also raised in this country have a similar cast of countenance. I cannot explain it, but it s4ms to make no difference what races their ancestors represented. All Will Kook Alike “If your immigration quota law is maintained, the time will come when all Americans will look more or less alike and be more characteristic as a race. I believe, than any other nation on earth. This phenom enon is due, perhaps, to the food you eat, the water you drink, your attitude toward life.” To illustrate this theory, Dr. Frisch points to the model he chose for his bust, “The Young American." The model is of mixed Polish and Austrian ancestry. The sculptor declares the lad is a typical American in appearance, but that if he had been born and reared in either Poland or Austria, he would be entirely different.

W FERGUSON ' OUT OF RACE No Run-off Primary Will Be Necessary. B v United Press DALLAS, Texas, July 27.—Dan Moody, a 33-year-old lawyer, who for two years has been attorney general of Texas, today apparently was the choice of voters to be the next Governor. The young attorney general—who has vigorously probed alleged waste in the State highway department—won the Democratic primaries in a sweeping fashion, eliminating Governor Miriam Ferguson from the political fold. The Democratic nomination in> Texas is synonymous with election. While Moody failed to gain a majority of the votes, as prescribed by the State election law, no runoff of the primary will be needed, as Governor Ferguson, the second highest contestant, withdrew from the race late Monday, ns also did Lyhch Davidson, who finished third. The other candidates polled a negligible vote. BOYSFTNOBODY OF KEAN OFFICIAL Lads, Hunting Gold, Find Man Missing Months. Bu United Press STRUTHERS, 0..
