THE EASY CHAIR Th« other day we read an article on how to be charming. There are even schools for charm here and there, it seems. At that we think what they try to teach is as valuable as to find cut that X plus Y equals XV, or does it? „ Well, anyway, tho substance of this advice was 1 “be natural—just 1k* your J ownself.” The author insiste I on it., T'tat wasn’t the first time we’d read that sort of thing either. It is a dangerous doctrine ami should be suppressed. As a matter of fact, civlization has made a long and strenuous effort to get away from that very thing. There may be someone who would be charming if natural—yes, maybe! Take, for instance, our hair. Naturally it seems to think its sole function is to cover the heail But do we let each hair take its *>w r n sweat way? No, and a good thing, too. Thousands would he added to the ranks of the unemployed if women were natural about that one thing. Our figure—let us not go into that. I’m afraid nature hasn’t done just right by us physically. We might tr> something else. Now naturally we think our taste in furniture, ears, husbands and clothes is better than our neighbors, but very, very early in life we learn not to say so. There are times when our family and friends could, if they knew, thank their lucky stars that we are not “being ourself,” at that moment, but that w r e are giving as good an imitation as we know how to give of a lady and a Christian. After all we’d better not sound too convincing when he say “be yourself.”
Once when moving we bad with us our dog. A yellow mongrel, absolutely worthless, but dearly beloved. The friends with whom we stayed I the first night in our nqw home, had a large and beautiful yellow Angora cat named Laddie. The whole performance of moving had mystified and worried Gimrer, the dog. He slept in the car that night, but wws so rejoiced at finding us in the morning that h” rushed into the house. In passing our host’s bedroom floor Ginger -aw Laddie—also Laddie saw Ginger! Laddie, beat the world’s record in a backward jump that landed him on the bed. The second was a forward jump to the lace curtain. The curtain .was taken by surprise and was n it equal to the emergency. The dres.-'r, the bookcase and the fern stand each in turn, seemed a -afer place to Laddie. Perfume bottles, china ornaments, and flower pots filled the air. Ginger, fortunately, wasn’t much of a jumper hut he had a good voied and was ninrible. Our host braved the fracus at its height and actually got hold of Laddie, hut by that time Laddie was in no condition t< b,. reasoned with, and he did not know friend from foe. Our host quit thc room with his hands over his stomach, and calling loudly for the peroxide bottle. lanldio retreated under the bed just as we recaptured Ginger. That hostess was a good sport and said she had l>eon needing new curtains anyway. Lucky for us—and the dog — she didn’t try to l>e “jierfectly natural.” It is too bad that when one says “she writes poetry" wq think of a careless kimnna, unbrushed hair and a nibbled pencil. While if someone says “he writes poetry,” the mind staggers and words fail. And yet— and yet—anyone can celebrate spring with a new Easter hat if she has thc dollar-eighty-eight, but few could
say:
“April is a gentle maiden with.eyes sky blue and via i in a gn*en kirtle braided with wild flowers. She has smiling lips and her smile is warm tho her hands are cold—the snowflakes being not quite melted from them yet. “.She sings with her lips closed, as singers who hum a minor in accompaniment to song. “April is the w illow graening, and the elm in bloom, and the adventurous grass blade’s surprising emerald. Tho bluejay, i'iugh and 1 ungallent hut touched with the shy beauty of April, calls out in strident encore.to her singing, ‘.hear, hoar, •hear.’ “The fro K fingers his chilly lute, and the hluebiml flits from post to post like a winged amethyst; and his melody bubbles like a gentle spring on a creek bank.”

lor three or four ysetrs now we, the -horn lambs making up our adult population, have f orgotten we are
lambs and have been yelling like banshees. And the burden of our cry has been, “Our poor young peoplewhat does the future hold for them?” Maybe what they need—and want—is not another fur coat or another sport model car, but a challenge Nearly one hundred years ago when Rome hail surrendered (o the French, Garibu! li said to his men: “I offer you hunger, thirst, cold—no pay, no barracks, no rations—forced marches, bayonet charges, battles, death. Whoever loves Italy in his heart and not with his lips only, let him follow me!” And four thousand men met him at the Latem Gate.
MWY STATES SHOW TREND IOWARD GROSS INCOME l \\ Then trend toward new forms of taxes to replace property taxes is shown hy the fact that approximately 43 per rent of th people of the United States live in States that have either a sales or a gross income tax, while approximately 27 per cent of tlie |>e*>ple live in states that have both a net income tax and a sales or gross income tax. This information is contained in an artide written by Harold M. Groves, professor of economics at the University of Wisconsin, and published in a recent issue of the Tta\ Magazine "f the Commerce Clearing House, Inc. The percentages in the original article have beien changed to include Iowa, which adopted last month as part of its tax program a personal net income tax ranging from 1 to 5 per cent, a corporation net inenrne tax of 2 per cent and a retail sales tax of 2 per cent. Aftetr adjusting the figures to include Iowa, we find that only 23 per cent of the |>eople in the United States live in states that have neither a sales tax, a gross income tax nor a net income tax. The facts and figures quoted by thi article, which incidentally is in the ame line of thought as many other articles dealing with tax problems in the various states, would indicatq that a gross income or sales tax is here along .with a new era of business. It is the. opinion of most tax people ithat thi< type of tax is
here to stay.
At the present time the Indiana rate under the gross income tax is averaging some .62 of 1 per cent, which is hy far.the lowest of any rate in the United States. It is the desire of the governor to keep this rate as 1-iw as possible. The suAess of any administration of public office is in no small measure determined by ability to hold qxpense.s in line or reduce them. Naturally the 2,810 taxing units in Indiana, along with the gov-
ernor, arc more anjbqto ieduced than is any nihej Citizen- eve rywhere cerely interested in the problem are urged to rive plan, particularly the c tax, their must vareLl >tuJ[ not I)- 1 long now until the as all ot' ers in the past,l more important problem (it determining thc methodi public monies.
