The omission of these words, the Supreme court has held, makes It impossible to assess shares of "no par value" on the same basis as other stock (of taxing pur- "Som«s $900,000 a year in franchise taxes will be lost to the state unices this measure is adopted," Emmerson stated. "The bill simply provides that shares of *non gar valne' shall, for the purpose of tpinjftpg the franchise tax, be considered i* af the par value <>f $100." He points out that the franchise tax Is not in any sense a property tax and is not based upon the value of the shares of stock. "It is a tax which corporations pay tor the privileges granted them under the charters issued bjr the secretary of state's office and, in assessing a certain amount for each share of stock Issued, it la manifestly impossible to liase the amount on the value of the Share," Emmerson added.

Usurp# St. John'a, N. F.--The giant body of Kriahan Jacob Lorensen, sailor man, who by right of might became a ship's master for a day, is a-roSfcif'«n the floor of the angry deep. Tfee story of Us passing just a month ago, was told 1b detail for the first time recently. Loren sen's bunk was the most comfortable in the forecastle of the Danish schooner Centaoma. He was a good sailor and a gooff fighter. He took what be wanted and tolerated back talk from no -man. He wasn't Scared of the "Old Man," Krlshan Rasmussen, neither did the size of the first mate, Trtk Knudsen, bother him. The Oentauraa drove out of Spencer's cove, Newfoundland, bound for 'Hi* Intending to Sears Lorsnsea. ' Harbor Buffet, on December 15. days out the captain and the first mate got Into a heated argument about the schooner's position. They talked loudly. Entered Lorensen, scowling, hands on hips. He told the skipper and the mate that neither of them knew where the vessel was. He laughed when ordered on deck. He tossed the "Old Man" and Erik clear across the cabin when they tried to put him out. He then locked them in and took charge of the schooner. Seven times did the captain and the mate try to get on deck. Seven times they were kicked down the companion- way. Storms came. The Oentaurus rolled and pitched. Lorensen, at the wheel, grinned and turned her nose to the sea. / The skipper, frightened f&r his vessel's safety, got his gnn,' crawled to the cabin door and fired, intending to scare Lorensen. The. bullet struck the sailor in the arm. He smiled, refusing to go below to have the wound dressed. Six hours later, while singing a song of the sea, he dropped to the deck, weak from loss of blood, and died. Captain Rasmussen and his first mate, upon the arrival of the schooner at Harbor Buffet, were held for examination. Thdy were discharged from custody by order of the Justice department, which declared !{;. hadi ng jurisdiction. GIRL IS ARMLESS BUT ACTIVE Crippled Since Birth She Goes to the University of California and Makes Good Reoord. Berkeley, Cat-- "Every human being owes the world a smile," says Martha Hale, freshman in the University of California. Miss Hale has been armless from birth: Her course In college is planned ^ prepare her to restore the smile to the faces of crippled men and women. For Martha Hale is preparing for social service as a reconstruction worker In Industry or for the state. Miss Hale, who Is a slender wisp of a girl, does everything with her feet She dresses and undresses, writes, sews, paints and cooks. She does most of the things a girl with arms does In the course of a busy day. "One doesn't miss what one never has had," she says. Her dark brown eyes sparkle with mirth, and a smile always lurks close to the corners of a Cupid's bow month. ; Kited in Church as \ ; Hymn Is Beioji Sung \ i - -- j Jtjv point Pleasant, W.

Brooklyn, N. Y.--A collection of period and historic watches worth probably $1,000,000,000 was left by WillStd H. Wheeler, a retired Jeweler, who committed suicide recently here. Wheeler had spent his entire life In collecting the timepieces. a»lrtng Tb*r ci 'iVf' T«i know perfectly - that longing which comes upon yon at this season of the year, writes a fashion correspondent in the New Tork Times, for mot* clothes or for, at last, one new something that is fresh and lnand out of the beaten track, can talk all they please about coming down to more uniform dress. After ail that particular way of expression Is not a part of their natures. They long, by Instinct, for a change and if fashion is not presenting something for their gase then they go out and hunt with all their might for It. At this particular season there seems to be a decided tendency toward the brilliantly colorful thlags--those that shine out on the streets and in the restaurants. Something perhaps gathered from oriental craftsmanship or from the embroidered and woven designs of the peasants of various countries. Womea sirs becoming quite faarless about wealing, upon the streets, these costnmaa which are not afraid to show bright tones in their making, and a more Or less informal cut and construction about the way they are made. They flop into ail sorts of peasant lines and they get away from the hard tailored effects which hav% obsessed us In the past. They are, in fact, a combination of all those lines an# phases which we wornm love most and in which we are supremely happy. We started out with the jacket and the separate skirt. We were a little dubious at the outset hut we have come more and more into that style of expression until we have found ourselves quite miraculously attuned to the thing that It represents. We have lost our fear of the bizarre. We havs stepped into an unrestricted #raa of self-expression. - ^ Taking on New Life.;' Some women are not aware of Ihe fact that they can never really express themselves In browns and dark blues that are totally unadorned. In donning those colors they are merely suppressing their more vivid selves and, when they do actually decide to come out into the open and wear the shades that they really like, they find themselves taking on new life and attracting new friends and finding new experiences that give them the utmost relief. It Is a well-known trick to wear, at first -colors of startling hues while within the confines of one's own home. In this way you become accustomed to a certain abandon In the way of color and line. Then, gradually, you find yourself just naturally translating those effects into the clothes of everyday Ufe--those which you wear while associating with your most conventional friends and acquaintances. Tou do It by this means, In all Innocence, and when a stray remark reaches your ears abont how gay you are becoming, you smile In a superior manner, knowing all the time that you yourself are finding enough satisfaction in that expression to make up for any stray criticism that may meet your friends' attention. Those who have not tried wearing bright colors do not know what a vast amount of satisfaction they can manage to carry with them. They fail to realise that their days would be brighter and more Inspirational if they, too, would decide to adopt the more vivid modes, but they do not have enough judgment left to realize that the startling quality of the colorful embroideries and patterns are something of a force In the world. It Is a good thing to take the more vivid styles and the more eye-opening colors In a more or less easy frame of mind. Tou do not have to wear them, if you do not wish to, but you might as well accept them as a permanent farce In the realm of dress. Bo many women like than that ft lt Hmpossibl* to say thay wttl set last. The evidences are dll to the contrary. Otf ***111 uund ef Blue. A coat flat Is made of one of those bright MW flyover embroideries that have taka* the world of fashion by storm, happens to be done on a background of darkest blue, over which are imposed «©lored threads, ranging through the shades of purple, green. ^4. fgj Former Steward of Ocean Liner •X in Court Against taptain of Ship.

In fact that helps the brilli&ncy of the foundation to show to Its best advantage, and that makes of the coat the most colorful of affairs. The hat carries out the same tones. The fact is that It Is made of the same material as the coat The effect of the whole is of some very gorgeous antique stuff that happens to have been made or woven but yesterday by modern artists who recognise the value of the antique designs and who know enough to Incorporate them Into the display of modern fashions. The coat has a shsrt sort of a peplum. They either are made in this manner or they are made to end at a long waistline where they more or less drape about the hips and retain that blousiness of their upper sections which Is so necessary a line when It comes to the latest fashions. But with these shorter- Jackets, there Is always a skirt of soma plain material and while one cannot say that all of the skirts are plaited, still so many of them are fashioned in this way that they throw the plainer skirts quite into the minority. There are side plaited skirts done In the very narrowest of widths. There are those which are pressed In wider sections. And there are also those which are arranged in accordion plaits so that they will take up as little stuff as possible and fit themselves more elegantly to the wider varieties of hiplines. But, after all, the fact remains that the plaited skirts are more graceful looking with short coats than are most of the plain skirts, unless they are posed on the very sllmmset and most perfect of figures. Sweaters of Angora Wool As 'fWUtg things are wearing sweaters of fuzzy angora wool that rival the short coats for their display of color and brilliance of effect They are adorned, or the more lavish of them are, with embroidered bands which bring them Into • the limelight here these colorful fashions are concerned. One of them is knitted from a light tan wool--almost a cream color, In fact. And then the band about the surplice front, as well as the wide, tight beit and the streamers which tie at the side, are embroidered on a knitted foundation with all the bright colored wools known to fashion. The hat worn with this sweater Is one of those blocked felt ones which are leading the hat fashions of the moment. There must be upon It some bow or rosette of ribbon fashioned in picturesque manner, for the felt hat, just now, is nothing at all In fashion unless It be trimmed with ribbon In some representation or other. This one, for example. Is of gray In the same tone as the sweater, and It is trimmed with s large rosette of satin ribbon in a darker tone of the same . color. Thereby it leaves to ffws «BK broidery on the sweater that exploitation of color which tunes In with the modern style and fastens the motifs of decoration at the points where they will be most sppreclated. The separate dress that Is made over loose and flowing lines combined with the coat the general construction of which Is In the same manner, Is another of the styles which promises to have s great effect upon those fashions for spring which are destined to be accepted. A combination of this sort is made op of a frock of printed silk done In two shades of brown, the background being of the lightest Oft brown tones and the figuring being of quite the darkest. There is then a wide bertha of cream net edged by cream lace In a very narrow lace which Is of the same tone. A large black velvet picture, hat Is lined with cloth of silver, and has elaborate silver lace patterns appUqued on the crown. ~ GOLDEN BROWN HAIR IS POPULAR » Latest Tint Affords Natural Looking Cater; Powdered T Becoming Blind, Man Killa Self.
