MANY HASTEN TO PAY SPECIAL TAX The announcement in Monday's issue of the Plain Dealer that collection of the occupational tax amounting to $12 or $13 annually would be enforced at once unless delinquents paid up resulted in a big rush of business yesterday, according to Clyde Williams, license collector, and William P. Webb Jr., city attorney. Some of the realtors were among those who paid, altho the test case against member of the board still is pending. It is said this case won't be carried to superior court. Those who paid up, altho the formal notice hadn't reached them yet, included some who had been delinquent for months. The last of the notices to delinquents went out last night, and collections late today and all day tomorrow are expected to clean up much of the $1200 or more that has been due. Some of the delinquents haven't paid since the new ordinance went into effect on Jan. 1, and have two six months' installments to pay. License fees unpaid previous to Jan. 1 last are not being collected, the old ordinance having been superseded and the new one not being retroactive. City Attorney Webb argues that the law is the law and there is nothing to do but enforce it. Letters From People The Plain Dealer, Dear Sir: I read with a great deal of interest the open letter published in your paper last evening, relative to "Greater Movie Season."

I am given to understand the picture producers at this time are calling for frank and candid expressions from the theatre going public relative to the kind of pictures wanted. I would like to second Mrs. Miller's suggestion that the local municipal government appoint a board of censors who will endorse and place their stamp of approval on pictures that are morally fit to be shown to our children. In enjoy seeing good clean pictures very much and do hope that our local theatre owners will only buy pictures of the highest type. So great a power for good or evil canned go long unheated by the good people of Anaheim. Sincerely yours, MRS. J. W.

It is reported, will be improved with a community plan. "TOURIES" By J. Renwick Moffett Grimy, bedraggled, dust-covered and tired.

HAS COMPETITION Dear Mrs. Thompson I have known a girl for about four weeks and she seems to love me. I did not know I loved her so much until a few nights ago when I learned she had another fellow in another city. She tells me she loves me more but she says he loves her better than I do. I can't make her believe anything else. He is a man of 38 years of age and she is 23. I am only 21. She tells me my love will not last, but because he is older his will. He hardly ever comes to this city to see her. Shall I keep on going with her and let her write to him? I would hate to give her up for I love her very much. I would be very lonely without her because I have no relatives here. My father and mother are both gone and I am orphan without a home. I am not ready to marry yet, but I would love to keep this girl. KERLIE HEAD. Forget about marriage until you are older and keep the girl as a friend. She is only teasing you and trying to make you declare the extent of your love when she tells you the other man cares even more. Do not argue the point with her. I would advise you to reply that perhaps he does care more next time the question comes up. THE LESSON SHE LEARNED Dear Mrs. Thompson: I was the only daughter of a very particular mother. She was so particular that I never could do anything to please her. The work was either grabbed out of my hands or done over. You can imagine, therefore I never did anything about the house if I could find an excuse not to. When I married I had everything to learn. My mother always mended and put away my clothes before this because I never did it right. Imagine my trouble when I found that my husband, too, was in the habit of leaving his clothing, papers, books and every other thing lying about. Of course things were always upset whenever mother and her friends called and they wondered how I could be that way with such a mother. It was my blessed mother-in-law who rescued me and patiently taught me all that I now know about housekeeping. What is more she could see where she was to blame for her son's carelessness. When she came and found things upset she always found a reason for it—baby was fussy that day, or something like that. She never made me feel ashamed or uneasy. Together we chatted and soon the house was orderly. My heart goes out to any one who is harshly judged slovenly. So often such a person has had too much dose for her and she has grown up without any practice in order. I have two "TOURIES" By J. Renwick Moffett Grimy, bedraggled, dust-covered and tired, They drive up the town's main street; Their luggage-filled car is mud-died and mired And they stop at "The Place to Eat." From afar they have come, so the license tag says, And are "Seeing America First" So now let us list to the tale they unfold While they satisfy hunger and thirst. "Some drivin', old boy, you tell 'em it is! Since mornin' we made—lemme see— Forty-nine—ninety-seven — why, jumpin' Gee Whiz; Altogether it's one-eighty-three! "We oughta make Gosum before it get dark, We will, if you push 'er along. But we can't waste no time at that Forestry Park. Gosh! I sure hope that nothin' goes wrong. "From there we can send a few postcards back home And take in a movie tonight. But to keep up the av'rage we'll sure hafta roam In the mornin' before it gets light. Say! I sure gotta laugh at that magazine stuff That says all the scenery's so swell; I aint seen nothin' that wasn't a bluff, But at that we got plenty to tell. "To make somethin' over three hundred a day I'll tell the whole world aint so slow. Come on! Let's get started and be on our way— We still got a hundred to go." —August Sunset. New petrified forest found in Arizona. ONE-PIECE FROCKS WITH CAPES In the language of the irrepressible modern, the frock to the left is "zippy". It is a one-piece design in check alpaca, trimmed with silk braid. Tub silk used for the collar and deep cuffs, which are outlined with plaited frills of self-material. One can select a check that combines gay colors, or preference may be given to a black-and-white effect. Medium size requires 3¼ yards 54-inch material and 6 yards of braid. Quite as smart is the second model in white flannel, trimmed with silk braid. The cape is rather narrow, with the lower edges rounded, and the neck is finished with a roll collar of self-material. A bow of pictoted ribbon at the neck asserts its importance over buttons, however fashionable a decoration the latter may be. Medium size requires 4½ yards 42-inch flannel and 7¾ yards of braid. First Model: Pictorial Review Dress No. 2244. Sizes, 34 to 48 inches but 16 to 20 years. Price, 35 cents. Second Model: Dress No. 2246. Sizes, 34 to 48 inches bust.

I watch them closely and when they are doing things wrong I show them the right way so that they can see the difference, and then I never need to refer to the matter again. Very slight errors I let pass unnoticed and I often see them correcting their own mistakes. If anything must be done over I never let them see me do it because I know a child is sensitive. When they take special pains I give them the praise they feel they have earned. I want to thank you for the many sensible things you write. Even if my letter is long it may offer a helpful suggestion. SCIPTICAL MAN. Dear Mrs. Thompson, Girls often write to you wondering if there are any real gentlemen these days. I have often wondered if there are any real ladies. But then I reason it out and I know that there really are plenty of the kind of girls that "married dear old dad" as well as there are honest-to-goodness men. There are lonesome men as well as lonesome women, but the lonesome men are not so many since the coming of the flapper and her ways of catering to the whims of man. As long as these modern girls of a higher type, Nevtheless it will make things hard for the girls of a higher type. Nevtreless there are men everywhere holding themselves aloof from cheap women. The real tragedy is that there is no way for lonesome men and women to meet. The only hope lonesome people have is that some day the winds of chance will blow fortune their way. I believe that it pays to stick to ideals and to have faith that the outcome will bring happiness. A MAN. One trouble with a lot of people is that they are dreamers. They dream of perfection and fail to recognize real worth in their friends and acquaintances. A man will write wanting to know where he can meet a girl because he is so lonely. The chances are that right in the office where he works there is a girl who would be glad of his attentions. Also girls write of loneliness and say they do not meet the right kind of man. A girl really has a more difficult time than a man in relieving the conditions of loneliness, because it is her place to wait patiently for attention. If she is shy and reserved she finds it impossible to even go half way and by a cordial smile and friendly manner. 17½c —fully bleached free of all dressing; very pleasing quality.

BEATING BACK Dear Mrs. Thompson My object is writing to get your views on a subject that has caused me much worry. In the first place, I am a whlower. Was married when quite young to a frivolious good-for-nothing, novel-reading kind of butterfly who did indeed fly away. Now, after I was divorced from her I fell into bad company, drank to excess and caroused, with the wrong sort of women, somewhat I'm very much ashamed of, but never denied. Now I have some neighbors who have done as bad or even worse than I, but have been more shrewd about it, therefore their dark deeds are not generally known. Yet every chand they get they apply the black brush to me. For instance, just a new family move into the neighborhood, and these gentlemen whips begin to pop and I become so embarrassed at times I can hardly look a descent woman in the face, though I have endeavored for several years past to live he right kind of life, yet it seems no one cares to give me credit for my good intentions. REMORSEFUL. Fortunately, the continuation of sturd rigorous right-living will in the bring as sure rewards to you anyour wrong living has brought finishment to you now. Besides, it will be building a splendid character in you that is strong and understanding through suffering, repentance and a dogged reparison insofar as is humanly possible. So stick to it. SWEET EVENEEN—I think what your mother says is true and believe I would be better not to ask the why he no longer corresponds with your cousin. Probably he has grown tired of the correspondence and would be embarrassed by your question. PROFIT SHARING SALE FOR THURSDAY ONLY!
