by Arthur Brisbane THE 818 DRESS WHAT SHALL WE CROON? MEAT FOR ALL / HOUSES WITH NO TAX

Miami Beach, Fla.- The women ol Miami have invented a new sort ol dress called “the bandana bib,” ano all women throughout the . riatior should know about it. »• It began with a large bandana hand kerchief, two of its ends tied around the neck, the handkerchief brought down modestly over the eldest and the other two ends fastened in front ol ihe skirt or baggy pantaloons. Thu answers the purpose of modesty, covering the upper part of the body, leaving the back and sides exposed to the sun’s beneficient rays. Now dresses that intimate the* bandana bib idea are regularly sold and worn by women throughout the day, the idea is only a bib above the waist This idea will spread with warm j weather. ■ TT“ t . Mr. Rudy V allee, who croons his jdmotions into the microphone, says I President Hoover told him “if..l could .sing a song that would make the pout ; pie forget their troubles, he would —give me a medal.’’ Some one suggests a song beginning: "My Country, 1 itof • Thee, Bring Back Prosperity,” Many other suggestions are. offered. Better than a song to make people “forget their troubles” would be a song that would make people think about their troubles intelligently, understand them and work out of them. Os 120,000,000 Americans a majority are quite ready to throw their troubles on the lap of somebody else, say ing: “You take care of them.” . Before the “troubles” end-, many * Americans will learn that they must solve their own problems, because - nobody else is going to do it for them And many, many Americans will discover in sorrow that work is a part.' of life, for which there is no permanent substitute. *" Robert P. I.amont, Jr., son of an American cabinet officer, arrived in Moscow, bringing to Russia one of the “te-n-gallon hats” well known to our western c.ountry, and a plan for - doubling Russia’s supply of cattle, pigs and sheep within a short, time. Seventeen million cattle are to be changed into 34,000,000 cattle, and so with pigs and sheep as rapidly as nature can do the work. Every farmer knows that it is not much of a task. Our own government made such experiments on a small scale, with 1,000 reindeer planted »n Alaska, changed suddenly to 30,000 reindeer But we' do these things fancifully and fitfully The Russian government proposes j to produce enough beef, mutton and pork for every man, woman and child in Russia, ancl Id; see that the Russians get it, and eat it. Conspicuous citizen* of Florida, in-, eluding Car! Fisher and Edward C. Romfh, president of: the Miami .First. National bank, advocate a change in . ; real estate-'taxatiotv. that.inteiesis every region. . They* would exempt, from all taxation th* house in which a man lives, up to a certain value oh house and land, suggest ingj J reasonably, that a man should have somewhere on earth a place that really belongs, to him - and his children, as long as they.lait, once he has paid for i.t. This suggestion, if carried - , 'out,.; would bring millions to live in Fkiri- i da. It presents a pleasant change from other plans that would compel every American to spend his life pursued by lax gatherers, with no hope this side of the undertaker’s embalming department. If the pursuit of pleasure, sport in any form, interest* you. a fishing, shooting, this is your country. One young man from Dr. Mather Abbott's Lawrenceville school, here for the Easter vacation, hoped that be might catch a sailtish. The first day with the renowned Capt. Tommy Gilford, he caught one six feet long and many other fish. He got two more fish even bigger the second day. At moment he is off to the depths of the Everglades, 160 miles away, with Indian guides, looking for wildcats that weigh up to 50 pounds, and hoping to find a panther, an animal that grows bigger in Florida than anywhere elae, according to guides. Just at present this big govern ment, like a oar off the track, is'xlg- ‘ sagging through space, not quite certain in what-direction it is going. When a boy makes a smalt stone skip on a pond, it matters little whether it turns left or right. But it does when the greatest, richest country in the world imitates the skipping stone and pursues its career without a plan. Our problem is lack of employment, and .while feeble, futile effort* are made to solve that problem, fools invent a tax system that would discourage all enterprise and make lack of employment greater than ever. t ■ The world remembers now the one hundredth anniversary of Goethe's .death. And this country should remember especially the last words that Goethe uttered: “Mehv Licht," "More light.” His eyes were closing, the light leaving them forever. But our* are open, light is abundant.

HUNDREDS OF WILDFOWL SAVED FROM STARVATION; 30 COOT DIE

Through the ujitiring. efforts of John Fleming, hundreds, perhaps thousands of waterfowl were fed and saved from starvation which threatened them last week when impenetrable ice.covered their feeding and resting places. Many ducks and coot had wintered in this region on account of the unusually warm weather. When the recent cold blew over Northern Indiana bringing ice, which gradually closed in, with resistless force, the open, water which the birds were vainly trying to keep open, Fleming became anxious over their welfare. 4 He made trips to the Johnson and Galloway marshes. There he found evidence that the birds were facing starvation. In fact the coot were already dying. The'ducks seemed to withstand hunger* better but all were on the ice looking and looking for something to eat. Fleming immediately got in touch with the conservation department, with game wardens, and with sportsmen in Fort Wayne. Corn and bread were shipped; game wardens and volunteer sportsmen came to Lake

Wawasee to feed the ducks and coot; and stories of thousands of ducks dying were printed in dailypapers. About 30 coot were found dead. The birds were fed but at the cost of many a ducking, for by the time the feed had arrived the ice was becoming rotten, even if it still covered the natural food of the birds. The corn and bread was placed on the ice Thursday and Friday last week, and on Saturday most of the corn wlls gone, but the bread which was used in hopes that the coot would eat it, was found floating on the water. By Saturday enough ice had melted so that no more, feeding was necessary. Hundreds of waterfowl were seen in the marshes Saturday for there still was not enough open water to cause them to scatter and seek other feeding places. Mallards and black duck were the most numerous species seen in the marshes with widgeon, a few pintail and a scattering of sopie smaller species which could not be determined.

COUNTY VET VOTED DOWN BY COUNCIL Defeated Ones Plan Mandatory Action ■■/ , They Say The appropriation of $1,500 for the purpose of recredlting Kosciusko county as a modified accredited bo- = i vine tuberculosis free area failed to obtain the necessary (najority of the coupty council and «sp did not pass when the council mejt in the court house Monday. The vote was 4 in fjavor of the appropriation, two and one j .member of the counicil, Iceman Iden, absent." Iden is ill in New Mexico. The appropriation failed to pass : the council because j there Was .not two thirds of the members of the cotincil in favor off- it. This two third majority is necessary before, the Council can make any appropriation so it was necessary that five members vote in favor of the appropriation. The vote was taken behind closed doors. ' When the council's decisiem was learned M. L. Goehenor, attorney, representing the daiirymen and the Pango Milk company said that man- ; damus proceedings vjould be brought j against the county Icouncil, to force : them to make the appropriation. M. L. Goehenor, ; Floyd Robbins, (Mr: Yoder of Toledo, 0., president of the Pango Milk {company; W. M.

Kelley of Warsaw | presented the petition against the j appropriation and made a short talk against its passage.! Ask For Appropriation. Goehenor started; the proceedings by presenting the cjouncil with ape- • titiem containing 550 signatures asking that the councij make the appropriation for a county veterinarian. He stated that if the appropriation were not made thajt dairy product | irom this county Would be'cut off from outside markets and that the I produce would be liinited to local I markets. That this (would mean overproduction and a reduction in price. This would mean ; that dairy herds would be thinned Jut an that there would then be less] tangible property on which to levy taxes. He said that Marshall and .Elkhart counties! are in the | process of being accredited or | already accredited and. that, *-uch being the case, mandamus pro- • oeedings could be brought according | to the, statute, butj that the petition.- ‘ ers did not want tjo force- mandatory 1 action but rather tjo show the council 1 that public opinion wanted the appropriation and thjat they thus would let the council favorably upon the appropriation. Robbing Speaks. When called upon to speak, Floyd ; Robbins explained! that if every dairy man in thej county had his [cows tested the county would not bo an accredited area and that the milk could not be shipped to an outside area unless there; is a ctxunty Veterinarian. He said [hat the dairy products amounted, tjo SI,OOO a day for ' the county. i He said if thej law is vyrong let the law be repealed, but at present the only thing to do was to pass the appropriation. | Robbins also thought that it was only fair that consumers should pay part of the tax jon account of the (Continued on Last Page)
