t TAXES CAUSE MORE n COMPLAINTS THAN

ANY OTHER THING

k WASHINGTON. The moat unpopular things In the United States are taxes, U the protests which are reaching congress can be depended upon as b fair indication. Study of the petitions to congress discloses that there have been more protests against taxes lodged than any tother form of protest in the present congress. ' Whether prohibition is responsible or not, it i3 not easy to determine, but It is very evident that eoda water and poft drinks are prime favorites with , the American people now. Most of

the tax protests are launched against the taxes upon soda water and ice cream. These protests even went bo far that the House agreed to repeal the taxes upon fruit juices, but the repeal came to a standstill In the senate. Next to the soda water protests come the tirades against the "movies" being subjected to taxes. These petitions for the most part declare that "movies" are the "poor man's theatre" and that it is unjust to place a war tax upon them. Protests against the taxes upon costly clothing have not come in any great numbers from the people, but have been lodrged chiefly by those Who are in the trade. Numerous agents are working in congres now attempting to secure the repeal of some of the war taxes, and there is a great deal of lobbying going m against the taxes, but it is not Sneeting with much success. Are Here to Stay. Prom all indications the much devested taxes are with us to stay until Hhe war expenses bear less heavily '' fupon the public treasuries. Congress Jias adopted a policy of repealing none of the taxes unless some other manner of procuring revenue can be offered, and. thus far there haven't been any valuable suggestions. Revision of the wartime taxes is not at all likely in he very near future, because congress

Is attempting to escape another loan being floated by the Treasury department. While the tax protests are numerous, they are not the only protests that reach congress. The American jieople are pretty quick to speak their jnind, and there is seldom a day that ?oes by but what the American peoiple cost themselvw about $2,000 lor expression of opinion. Petitions of frrtpst whirh are printed in the record generally take up from three to four pages and the cost of printing the Record i3 high.

Four Are Burned in Destroyer Explosion - (By Associated Press) KEY WEST, Sept. 29. Four men

were severely burned In an explosion In the boiler room of the destroyer Greene, off Key West yesterday. Submarine chasers with physicans and assistants have gone to the aid of th destroyer, which will be towed here today. "No details of the accident were given In the message from the Greene.

Nusbaum Describes Some Styles for Fall Coats will be long and slim, and numbers of them will have huge armholes. Buttons, braiding and cording will be popular trimmings; collars will be high and the most of them will roll. We will be tucked and pocketed and generally fussed up In

both coats and suits. Backs ana fronts will be straight and flat, and any fullness at all will go to our hips, 6o that we will look more or less like paper dolls. The final summary of the situation isithat the outline will be along classic lines, while It may be said that for flappers they will be a little more along the classy. "For the woman who desires long lines, I have In mind a style of suit which is being shown In many variations, and which will delight her heart," said Roland Nusbaum. "The slim straight lines of youth are evident in a suit of castor velours with strips of the cloth resembling boxpleats attached to the deep yoke with tiny arrowheads, and fastened invisibly at the belt and hem. A notched collar and a narrow belt slipped through a buckle of the goods gave a snappy effect to the coat, and the plain skirt had a wide crushed girdle. "Separate coats are more voluminous, some of them, yet as said before, there is a strong tendency to a narrow skirted coat with very deep armholes and a collar of the shirred material or of fur."

than It has ever been before. The fad-. dy and the garish no longer satisfy. "Nothing can so produce discord 1

In a room as over-crowding of furnl-J

ture said a representative of Romey's Furniture store. "No matter how attractively decorated, no matter how good the lines of the furniture, unless there la a sense of proper grouping, we might as well begin all over. Too much of even the best can ruin the entire effect' One need not spend a fortune on furnishing a house. Many extremely handsome looking pieces of furniture are sold at moderate figures these days. Dealers themselves no longer stock up with outlandish styles, but with pieces that have been fashioned along artistic lines. How satisfactory it is to know that you can obtain furniture fashioned along artistic lines at reasonable prices.

RUMOR AFLOAT THAT ALSACE WILL BE INDEPENDENT STATE

LIBERTY The Woman's Relief Corps of this county gave a big rupper Saturday evening at the Coliseum to all the soldiers in the late allied army in the county and all soldiers of the Civil war, with their parents, wives and children. Good music was furnished during the repast.

(By Associated Press) COBLEN'Z, Sept. 29. It is rumored here that an independent republic has been declared in Alsace. PARIS, Sept. 29. Nothing has been heard here relatives to the rumor that a republic has been set up in Alsace which was current in Coblenz yesterday.

The monthly output of tin in the Siamese Malaya is about 1,000 tons.

Good Furniture Can Be Bought Reasonably

The pitfalls in furniture buying are many. A very good thing to remember is that the best of anything is never too good, especially in pieces of furniture which are to become members of the family and which, once purchased, are apt to remain with us always unless we burn out or have a windfall. The dealers say that this idea is becoming firmly imbedded in house owners' minds, for the demand for the very finest furniture is greater

What Men Will Wear This Fall and Winter

"Current events have their Influence on what we wear and how we shall have It made, it would seem," said Lon Kennedy, of the Kennedy Clothing company. "For no sooner have the restrictions been raised which were placed on the lavish use of wool, we see all sorts of new and revived styles blossoming forth to shine on the suit and coat models for fall and winter. "Owing to the release of a lot of wool which the manufacturers had no reason to believe they would be able to procure, the materials in our new clothers will be of a much finer grade than they have been for some seasons. "No particular pattern seems to have a greater vogue than another among the several which are seen the most. Shaded stripes and checks, Interwoven mixtures, mixed patterns with sprinklings of green, red and purple are particularly good.

"Brown, green and Oxford will be the leading colors, with the old re

liable dark blue as a sane fourth. As stated in the paragraph above, a dark background with dashes of color Interwoven will also be popular, particularly in suits for young men.

"The deep waistline which was introduced in the spring, will continue to be worn during the winter; there

also will be seen form-fitting suits

but so far as the older men are con

cerned, there will be no belted suits.

By the relabation of the stringent rules laid down as to waist of material, double breasted effects will be very classy, and coats will have two

and three buttons for fastening.

"Vests, most of them, will be double breasted, and will be cut higher than they were last season. Fancy vests

will be seen to some extent in rather subdued colors, although vests of the suit material will be most generally worn. Some shops are showing vests in heather colors made of smooth materials and woolen socks to harmonize. The pockets of all vests will be Hapless and there will be few collars if any. "Trousers will again be permitted to have belts of their own and cuffs, too, if they want 'em. Otherwise there is not much change in length, width or fullness."
