SOCIETY VOTES AID FOR MISS BENNER IN VISITATION JOB

Members of the Domestic Science club voted yesterday to take over the services of the visiting nurse of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, and uso her as an assistant to the

regular visiting nurse appointed by the club. It has been the custom of the Metropolitan company to allow its nurse fifty cents for each call made to patrons. The Domestic Science club will have this nurse continue the tame service to the insurance company in addition to act ing as an assistant to Miss Benner on a regular salary. The club will collect the fees from the insurance company, which will almost pay the salary of the extra nurse. The association felt it had been asking too much of Miss Benner. Members Suggest Wheels. Tt was suggested that the nurses be provided with bicycles that they might be able to make their visits with greater ease, and cover more ground. Yesterday's session was at the home of Mrs. Allen D. Hole. In addition to the discussion of the visiting nurse, and the sale of the Red Cross seals, a program was given including musical numbers by Mrs. E. E. Meyers, and Miss Schalk, and a lecture by Superintendent J. T. Giles on "Domestic Science in the Schools." "There have been three periods in the evolution of the teaching of domestic science," said Mr. Giles. "The lirst period covered the beginning of the work which took place in the Boston schools. The second period covered the duration of the work, and the third covers the criticism of the work, Which began about 1902. "The greatest local problem which confronts us in Richmond in the teaching of this subject, is the question of what domestic science really takes in. It may be made to mean cooking, housekeeping, sewing or home making, or it may include all these subjects. Giles Wants New Name. "I have discussed the suitability of the term domestic science with Miss Jarsons," said Mr. Giles. "It would seem to me that, domestic art, would be a better name for the work as carried on here. Science means the collection of knowledge, and art is the riitting into practise of this knowledge. "The great emphasis which we are putting on tli teaching of domestic science In tho Richmond schools, is to Instill a desire in our pupils to put the knowledge gained in the class room into actual practise in their Jinnies." Mr. Giles spoke at some length on th special work that, is being done In tho night school, where he said instruction v;is much more specialized than in the regular class work, as each woman taking this course, had come object in view which she hoped to attain.

Lemon. Prof. Harlow Llndley and Russell Wright of Earlham. Robert Hicks of Cambridge City also attended, repreeentating the county. Mr. Bowman and Mr. Rupe added to the names as students of taxation problems by enlightening talks before

the meeting. Fred Lemon pleased the delegates with his paper by Dr. O. C. I Lockhart of the Ohio State university.

Mr. Bowman was re-elected to his position as vice president. As such he is a member of the executive committee of seven members, which up to this time has practically carried forward all the work incident to the meetings and the collection of data. To Classify Property. At the executive committee meeting Tuesday, a classification of be taxable property interests in Indiana will be made with the view later of appointing the representatives for each class to the advisory committee. "We have a fine collection of data said to take up this study," Mr. Bowman said. "The committee which will be made up of members representing each classification of taxable property interests in the state, such as real estate, banks, railriads, manufacturers and other classes, will be in a position intelligently to begin a deeper study and to propose practical plans for leg-

i islative amendments later.

"The fact that the constitutional convention was voted down in November will not interfere with our plans in any way. There is one clause in the constitution which must be removed, however, before we can proceed. It reads. 'AH classes of property shall be classed at the same rate.' With this amended we can build up an entirely new and equitable structure of taxing laws."

) May Meet in City.

Mr. Bowman said he would try to bring some of the important commit

tee meetings to Richmond, but that be hardjy thinks It possible to have a general taxation conference here because of the objection of 'delegates from the far corners of the state to any but a central location. It Is believed It will be possible to bring such meetings here, partly because of the work Richmond men have done in the Commercial club toward promoting a study of taxation, and partly because of the representation yesterday at the Indianapolis conference. Richmond, with three men on the platform at different times, was the only city which had more than one speaker, except Indianapolis. John L. Rupe Speaks. John L. Rupe summarized extemporaneously the speeches made yesterday morning about the work being done in other states to perfect taxation systems. This has been along the lines studied by Mr. Rupe for years, and he was familiar with the data presented by most of the speakers. He presented much of the data in condensed form at recent Commercial club meeting. Fred H. Lemon, chairman of the Commercial club committee on taxation, which has been making a study of Ohio's taxation laws, read the paper by Dr. Lockhart, in which the Ohio man said that the property system of his state had "broken down" and that Intangibles would not pay tax at a rate that east up half and some times more than half of the Income. In 1912, the paper said, the

English Beauty Tells Complexion Secrets

Nearly one-half of Spain's railroads enter Madrid.

Through a fortunate meeting with an English lady, noted for her dazzling complexion, I recently learned the full meaning of that old adage, "Beauty is but skin deep." She taught me how to remove ray muddy old skin, revealing the young and beautiful skin underneath. The process is so simple, harmless and inexpensive, I'm sure you'll be glad to know about it. Just get an ounce of ordinary meroolized wax at any drug store and apply nightly like cold cream, for a week or so. Every morning in washing off the wax, tiny particles of worn-out cuticle come off, too. The action is so gentle, and gradual, there's no discomfort. It's a wonderful treatmnet, as It not only peels off the faded or discolored skin, but all of its defects, as chaps, roughness, freckles, pimples, blotches. I am indebted to the same lady for a remarkable wrinkle-removing formula. One ounce powdered saxolite is dissolved in a half pint witch hazel. Used as a face bath, this is so effective that just one application causes the finer lines to disappear, and soon

i even the deepest ones go. "Elsie" in

UNIVERSITY DOCTOR TO ADDRESS CLUB

One of the big meetings of the year in Commercial club programs will be the February general meeting when Dr. Charles Emerson of Indianapolis has promised to lecture. Dr. Emerson became known to many Richmond men when he lectured at the First Presbyterian church a year ago. His explanation of the methods of the Indiana university of which he iB dean. In curing sickness by removing evil home influences, brought in some entirely new social service material. The annual Commrecial club banquet will be held Jan. 7. The well known and efficient entertainment committee consisting of Charles D. Slifer, John Zwissler and John B. Hegger will have charge of the "spread." The program committee of S. E. Swayne, J. T. Giles and Rev. J. S. Lightbourn will arrange for some interesting after dinner speeches and toasts. The details have not been planned. Phonograph records imported into Russia are subjected to government censorship.
