77; SENSIBLE METHOD. If ou have l-m in the habit of kickin at your fn-i!'T.- and repr .ntativ- at Washington whn they do not met your demands, it might be well t wiry the (Utrm and write a letter to Sen. New, th.iükiru' him for hi.-? declaration that he intends t'. r;:;.port tho f-ak tax plan. It i'j;rl aome courage for him to take this .a:.'l. fr the j.rojosal runs counter to the administration program and thTe Is a clevo personal friendship t,'t'vt f'n the .f-nator and president that would ordinarily irn-'.in" him to "follow orders." Th- .-alH tax flan, submited by Sen. Smoot as a ;iltitute for the whol system of .tupld impoets to raie rf-vrnue, to commend it the fact that every one knows what he ha. to pay and when he has to pay and can make hi3 calculations accordingly. It 'provide for a payment on Rale?, toth by manufactures and cor.fuir.trs and applies generally to all article. It 1. a direct tax Instead of a concealed tax and brushes aside the ol 1 belief of law makers that the peoplo will not pretest if their taxes are hidden, much on the theory that fond mother mixes cafltor oil with sarsaparilla In order to take awny th tate. This country mlerht as well face the fact that It will have for years an enormous tax bill to pay. The Interest on the war debt will make thiH necessary, no matter how deep the knlfe of economy may be driven into the running expense of government. The people al.o know that in whatever form taxes ro levied they are ultimately charged up against the consumer and passed alons, generally with An n tided charge by the fearsome or tho profiteering, to the man who buy. The sales tax takes away the chance of dodglrr? or of avoiding payments. It will obviate the neceapity of hirincr a lawyer to find out whether one is a patriot or a criminal. It will ralo the needed funds. Am a me ins of putting business back on its feet and cutting out all preferential treatment as between different kinds of business, the sales tax looks most feasibl". The proposal ifi opposed by the admlni-stratlon. The old jruird which framed that measure thinks along old lines. Bourbon at heart, it never learns and never changes it mind. Sen. New is one of the fut of the group supposedly close to the presidential ear, to break away from the measure and follow the Smoot idea. He will find himself In the oomrany, largely, of democrats when he cast.0 his vote. All of whieh, if you agree with him in hin inde- ! nd.-nt stand, nak.n Iiis action one of greater i diin;'!' and nnre worthy of commendation.

i GOOD APPOINTMENT

It is very evident that Governor .McCray believes tl it the way to tak- the .chools out of politics is t take them out. His appointment of Benjamin J. Hurris to the ( Trice of State S;ij rintendent of public Instruction will rec--ie the unqualified approval of all good citizens and the only protest will be made by politiral" workers wIu k.' ideal of public service Is a place at th" pie-counter. As assistant to the superintendent, Mr. Burrls not nly rci e'.v.-.l a ino-t desirilde training for the poi:ion but h- put into that office numerous Innovations '.hat had the betterment of the whole school system i s their objective. In polities. Mr. Burr is happens to be a Democrat. The goernr belong. to the other party but he threw away the usual considerations when it came to selecting the in m. who in hi.-? opinion, was best fitted to render real service. The demand that the rublic school system be placed above and beyond any partisan control has been insistent and emphatic. Many changes of laws have been suggested to accomplish that purpose. Tho governor has found a way to reach the desired end under th present law by the simple act of irnorir. any political Influences In making his appointment to thi vacancy. He deserves the thanks rf pvcry educator who- love his profession and every citizen who believes that the public schools ar the inoft valuable of state enterprises. o THE PEOPLES' DAY. The call of Pres't Harding for a proper observanca of Arnr.-tice day throughout the nation for its influ-enr-' upon the suocev of the limitation of armament C'nf1. rer.ee hould receive immediate attention from the kaibrs of thought in this city. The thought that the day symbolizes the great victory in the World War Is overshadowed by the hope that tho conference, meeting this day, will lead the way to an end of all wars. The adnu nition of the president that it be a day ( i tlf-ht, of prayer, of serious consideration of all th.it ar hive meant, all that they have cost, all that they have destroyed and of hope thru there ma 1-e an tiip in the future should be followed J-tr. tly. It is r.t a day of prize fljrhts. of public dlsplaj-. of aniusemcr.t with commercialized entertainments as fiatures of the day. There are still those who bellevo that "pence is the ilnam of the philosopher and rar Is tho history ef ir.an" as one senator recently announced. There aro still those who distort the HibMral etatenur.t tii.it th?re will be "wars and rumors of war" v.rh a Jivir.e irophooy for tho human race or a divjr.e juJiTT'irnt upon humankind. Th. re are :i!l thoe who are, for their own selfish purp..-- s. endeavoring to keep froing the huge armament c-.r-.pf tition among nations, who are urging, always and continuously, that there la a necessity for prat military f stablishmcnus in order to have p ;ue. If that view predominates the conference will end in fail nr. . It v.ili net fall if this people present a solM front for the proposal that the world thall be freed from th- l urdi Tis of nrm!.: and navle by mutual consent ar.d that h reafter dLagreements nhall be settled by . onfert-nre. not blood. l.'ach community h is its duty to perform on thU day. a ht!uus duty. Th'.- proper Iadershlj- should take charge at once '1 '

to se that thlv city demonstrate its faith and Its hre in the proper manner. That committee should be strong enouch to d-tT any who may be planning to turn the day to on5 .f personal profit. That committee shou'd be both wise and ptron? enough to unite every citizen Into a common purpose. lllKory will be written on, this day tho day of faith.

HE HAD HIS HOUR. Pennilesa. feeble and frlendle?i or. BlackweTIs Island la New York, kept by charity and forgotten. Is th man who in hie youth gave his bed to IJncoln in that dark hour following the asrf-isiraticn when a Cght wa.s made to save his ebbing 11 5o. He was a boy then and had a cheap room across the street from the theater in which the tragedy occurred. There was need of quick acticn and a near haven In which the fight for the lifo of the Great Emancljator was made and In that hoür. this youth rwhed forward and pointed to hü room. He was in that room when death came, the last survivor of that scene abou. which there has ben much dLacuswion and some disagreement, although the historians agree that it was in a common place room in a common place lodging house. The man who had come from humble surroundings left this life amid scenes similar to those of his beginnings, save that there gathered the members of his cabinet and the great of his time. Life went well with thi youth for a time. He attained fame as a lawyer but his own natural bent was toward nature and he neglected his law books for the open fields, became the friend of Burroughs, wrote some of flowers and trees and gave over his life to the things he loved. Then came the winter of life and with no provision made to meet its demands and he slipped from the view of thosei who knew him best. Now he Js found in the pauper ward. Gone is the memory of mon of his experiences but there remains clear and bright that, scene when the greatest man of the century lay upon his bed and he gave what help he could to the futile effort to save a life. Ills tory la vouched for by those who have discovered his plight and verified it. Offers have come to help him to an easier closing of his own day? but even that no longer Interests him. Neither poverty nor years can wipe away the memory of the ono great experience and he refuses all the aid. Ilia -end may seem Inglorious but he had his hour. o A COUNTY NEED. A hundred years ago society knew of no better method of treating its mentally afflicted than chaining them, like dog.', in their kennels and leaving them to their fate. The superstitious believed that they were filled with evil spirits and shunned them. Forcible restraint was the only scheme which suggested Itself a a means of protection. Before you shudder at the seeming brutality and heartlespness, walk over to the county jail and find there a man, suffering from delusions of a mild character, harmless to anyone save himself, for whom no other provision is made than that given to criminals. The state hospital for the insane Is filled. It will be months, in all probability, before he can be placed under that constant observation and medical treatment to which many cases are susceptible of cure. t He was found on the streets, his mind back In the past when he owned propertj- and fine horsey, when he had a permanent home and when he was more prosperous than he is today, although he is not without funds. The human mind, intricate in its mechanism, is baffling when it ceases to function normally although great headway has been made in discovering the causes of maladies and of methods of treatment. The case is not an isolated one in this community. The city health officer. Dr. Freytrmuth, will tell you, If you ask him, of a recent case of a young- woman whose mind was temporarily deranged by a surgical operation. The only place in which she could be protected from herself until she had recovered from tho operation was an iron cot, in jail, to which she was strapped. The condition is not to be charged to cxi- . ig hospitals which are filling their needs. It doe ruggest that pometimo in the near future the county must recognize this as a real problem and find the real remedy in a public hospital. Locking the mentally ill with criminals is not a pleasant commentary on progress or humanity. o A diving girl act always makes a good showing. o If some people were as bad as you think, they would be worse than they are. o

New York bakers have called off the strike and gone back to making dough. o Taking babies to inoviet to make them stop crying doesn't seem to succeed. o Congressmen don't spend as much time delivering speeches na mail men do. o ptherEditorsThanOura SKXATE CIX)T11UX (Baltimore American.) It may be unfortunate for the administration tax bill program that the senate is inclined to move slowly in its enactment, but the talk of adopting a cloture rule, which may be Invoked by a majority vote, is a rather fierce cure for the annoying, but temporary, consequences. The lloue of Representative j n.1.' legislation without too much wrinkling of its youthful brow, it 13 a boyish body. It not infrequently needs a guardian. For many years the senate has acted in that capacity, squelching the uproariousness of the house, toning: down its excetes and it. exuberances. But nott it seems to be proposed that in order to pass current legislation the senate ought to be cured of its caution and adopt the care-free spirit of the house. The senate may, indeed, need a better means of attending to important business than it now has. Perfectly obvious pieces of necessary legls'ation are sometimes held up needlessly by partisan senators cr senators who have axes to grind with the majority leadorship and are willing to talk a month apiece for the fun they fret out of it. Put by makini? cloture a matter of simple majority rule the senate will lay itself open to snap-judgment politics which can be dangerous to the country in a thousand ways. It is often better to bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know net of, but which we can scent With fair accuracy. o iiovi; (Denver Impress.)

PLAY 'KM SAFK; FAT AT KAIILLS. We know a traveling man from South Ilend who recently prepared to start out on the road. Ono of the first towns he was to malte was Niles, Mich., and so lit sought out one of his friends to Inquire about the restaurants in the faraway city. He was advised to go to a certain hash hou.-e where he would be well taken care of, and the friend further urged him to be sure and ask Tor a particular waitress, giving her name, so that he would get the proper service. The new traveling man, to be sure that he remembered his friend's advice, just jotted down on a card the words, "Ask for Henrietta." The night before he was to leave to go on the road, his wife found the card in his pocket!

THK WlSint MAX. Bill and Joe were rivals for a pretty maiden's hand. And Bill and Joe gave battle for the fairest in the land. But not with lance or pistol, or m cruel fray, For each one sought tho charmer in his own peculiar way. Bill wrote her pretty poems and praised her gentle eyes. He wooed her with his laughter and wooed her with his sichs; He'd telephone o' mornings, and th afternoons would find 15 il I handing round her doorway, for he was the spoony kind.

Jot's methods wer much different. "I'm after you." said he; "Some day I'll make a fortune so you can marry me."

V LnSCOIT

Don't be contented; never mind the folk Who preach contentment as tho highest virtue. Who bid you plod along until you croak, As though ambition were a thing to hurt you. Never be satisfied with what you are. Contentment is a phrase by fools invented; (Jo on and hitch your waen to a star, Don't be contented'. If a man had been content since time began We'd still be monkeys from the branches swinging Without the will to change, to dream and plan; And all brave tales of wonder that are ringing Down centuries of time would bo as nought; Progress was ever by" unrest fomented, It's dis-oiUent that stirs the world to thought; Don't be contented! Keep wanting more more money and more fun, More education and a broader vision; Don't be ci-mplacent over what you've done. Keep on keep on, in spite of all derision; Seek, with a hope that will not be denied. Each chance for growth that fortune has presented; And always keep your mind unsatisfied. Don't be contented!

Isn't This a Chic Dress, Betty for $6.64

South Bend, Ind. September. 1921

Dearest "Betty:

You'll be surprised when I tell you of my new accomplishment a really worthwhile accomplishment too. Remember how you all used to tease? me because 1 made such a botch of sewing even mending) Glory be! That is ? thing of the pa" for now

I Can Really Sew and I suppose I shall have to tell you all about it in order to prove it. (How I wish you vcre here to really see the smart little dress I've just made.) Mary' nnc Jne always have been ?o clever with a needle; their undies, dresses and accessories have that individuality so seldom seen. It pot to the point where I jut couldn't ftand being less attractively dressed (I spent more money than they did too) ?o I decided to make myself learn how to look as individual and chic as they did. So. I went downtown Monday morning and spent an hour at Wyman's. I looked at all the new materials and patterns nnd finally picked out

McCall Pattern No. 2223 to ftart on. (McCall patterns are printed you know and are much cEsicr to follow rs the instructions are right before you and you can't possibly po astray.) I paid my thirty cents for the pattern and 40c for an applique pattern and bought 2'4 yards of black jersey at the dress goods counter as well as a belt at the Novelty counter and a card of snaps and two spools of thread at the Notion counter.

Then, I Bought A quarter of a yard of oil cloth in the basment. (You can't guess what for.) When I got my material all bought and paid for I had hardly made a dent in my pocketbook only

$6.64 for the whole thing. tr si i i .1 7 Ii i j Of course, by this time I was (Hcrcs the whole thing in a nitslicll drawn by ... u i j v in a great rush to get home and me for your special benefit picture, material see what I could do with the " . . "raw Material" I'd perchased and cost all in one.) so I Fairly Tore Home got the sewing table out the scissors, thread and needles on it, the sewing machine all threaded -and then I laid the material all out on the table and put the pattern on it just as it showed me how to do on the printed instructions. (Mother came in just then and about fell over when she saw what I was doing can't say she felt badly abcut it, though.) After I had it all cut out I basted it up, per instructions. I made the French seams on the skirt and blouse first of all, and then gathered the skirt onto the waist a little fuller than in the pattern on account of the goods being jersey. By this time I was pretty tired so I stopped and went out to play tennis for a while.

The Next Morning Bright and Early I got up with a zest for more sewing and started in with enthusiasm to sew up the sleeves and put them in. (And that was the hardest job of all for I had to baste them in try it on find they weren't in straight take 'em out and do the same stunt ?.li over again till I got therr: just right.) When they were in I finished the edge of the sleeves and neck and down the slit in the front by taking a bias jiece of the goods and binding them.

(This is the felt hat I bought So go with my dress put the trimming on to match my dress.)

With A Nice Long Yardstick I measured the skirt from where it was fulled on to. the hips to the point where I wanted to hem the skirt up and pinned it all around. Then I basted it and Called Mother in to see how it hung and to my surprise she said that it hung quite well. So I sewed the hern in by machine and sewed the tiny tabs on to run my belt through and the snappers on the front, too. Before I could finish the dress I had to go downtown so

I Called Jack Up and He Took Me to Lunch He came up in the car and we went to the Hotel. (We had those wonderful cinnamon rolls yOU Vere SO CrZy about when you were here.) Jim and his bride from New York were at the same table and she is too sweet for words.

And Then I Bought Three Tubes of Oil Paint at the art shop on the way home. Yes, I did go straight home although Jack wanted to play golf. And I went right back to my sewing again. 1 took the oilcloth and cut it out like the sketch below and hemmed it on the machine in black. Then I rubbed the surface with talcum powder, to get the oily surface ready to take oil paints, and used the applique pattern like a stencil pattern and stenciled the pattern on in oil on the collcr, cuffs and pockets. Mv Efforts Were Rewarded for Jack said something awfully nice about me and about the dress. I'm going to try something else one of these days and soon I am so pleased with my accomplishment. Write to me soon and tell me what you think of me as a dressmaker. As ever JILL ('Sense this typewritten letter but I knew that this way xoud be sure to be abh to read it.)
