Besides the taxpayer it Involves tl»e sum of five cents and a tax collector poor ttt arithmetic. M. Lesueur is a Paris dealer in hides and leather. On May 8, 1932, he paid his taxes, including a tax of 79 francs, about $3, which the government imposes for each apprentice hired by business houses. Having duly paid all asked of him, M. Lesueur thought he was through for 1932, but he was soon to learn that he had only begun. In January of this year M. Lesueur's firm was notified that the 79 franc tax had been Imposed in error and would be refunded, and the refund was made at once. Then another official got hold of M. Lesueur's tax bill and decided that the 79 francs should have been paid after all, so he invited M. Lesueur to pay ,it again, which he did. ' ' "But early this month tax official number three entered the" scene. Discovering that 79 francs imposed In May, 1932, had been paid this year, he fined M. Lesiieur for being late with his taxes. Having suffered a dozen, annoyances because of his good intentlQns, M. Lesueur Redded to undergo one more, and he resignedly agreed to pay the fine. For reasons best known to the tax collector, the fine was calculated at 10 per cent of 14 francs, 40 centimes, but at this point the arithmetic en-, tered. Instead of demanding 1 franc 14 centimes, the tax collector asked for 15 centimes, or 1 per cent, and that was paid. Then the error was discovered, and the tax officials have informed M. Lesueur that he owes 1 franc 29 centimes more. Now the latter feels that he has had more than enough, and he refuses to pay. Seizure of his establishment has been ordered as a consequence, though the sum is 5 cents. He says he will let the baliff put all the padlocks he wishes on bis property, and let them take it to court Wyoming Indians Given Buffalo Meat for Food Yellowstone Park, Wyo.--From near extinction to such numbers that Indians and relief agencies have been donated surplus animals for their meat supply, Is the history of the YellowstoM park buffalo herd, n6w totaling more than 1,000 animals. In 1902 official figures listed but 1,676 buffalo in the world. Emerson Hough, after a winter inspection trip, said there were but 22 of the animals in the park. That year funds were obtained for establishment of a protected herd, and by 1926 there were 764 buffalo In the park. Careful feeding, strict enforcement of protective rules, and even vaccinations were required to develop the herd. In 1912, 1919, and 1922 a blood poisoning disease threatened to wipe out the herd, but vaccinations counter* acted the epidemic, and since that thae m aerlous outbreaks have taken place. The herd now has reached such se» cvrlty that park authorities each year coll out the infirm, weak, and undersized aoisaals, slaughter thes^ and give the neat to Indiana, er relief agencies. Population Increase la Pat at 180,000 for '32 Chicago.--Population Increase la the United States last year was the smallest since 1880 and the first year In more than a century in which cities did not show s gain, a report issued by the "American Journal of Sociology" disclosed. By 1940, the report predicted, the United States may have a population of only 190,000,000 and may shew only a slight Increase there* after. Rural population Increased daring the last year due largely to the depression, the report stated, bat city population declined possibly as anch as 470,000, it was estimated. The nation's population increased 180,000 last year, the report showed, a decrease of 5 per cent from 1931. Since 1923 there has been a decline of 60 per cent If the growth continues at about 800,000 annually the rest of the decade, the report said, the population will be 1X1,000,000 in 1940, compared to 122,- 760,000 In 1930. MAYBE TO KEEP BABY QUIET Toward the .end of his lecture the speaker had urged the leading men of the industrial city to put more beauty in their surroundings. *The idea Is all right," Interrupted one of the big men. "but the prosperity of this town is due to the efforts of hard-headed business men. All the time we are doing things, and we've no tipe to worry about; being beautiful." This announcement was greeted with a burst of applause, and the speaker found many wrathful eyes turned on him. "Really," he remarked with a smile.

' Animals on Ocean Voyage Packing a wild beast for an ocean voyage Is no simple matter. The crates must be strong enough to circumvent the animal's Ingenious attempts at escape; they must be fitted with doors for tlye provision of food and cleaning purposes, and ventilation must be provided. The ideal box enables the traveler to stand up or lie down, but the ideal box for a giraffe Is a problem. To get Jumbo on board, he is usually hoisted by a canvas sling. Slightly smaller animals travel by crane. Alligators arrive in coffin-like boxes; snakes are comfortably ensconced in tin boxes with glass lids.

In 1783, was 45 mllea long and 15 miles wide. Because of the small population of the island, however, it could hardly compare with those in densely populated countries for destructiveness. Hecla stands about 25 miles inland, where it makes an imposing sight rising more than •',009 feet in the air In its lonely ma- . Jesty.

" V • s - * , V '^-1 HOLD ON TO YOUTH Summer Beauty Sense ' v • ®y Marie H. Callahan, Editor .• "' • - Modern Beauty Shop Magazine It is a temptation to leave common, sense as well as care behind us when we go vacationing, hut for your own comfort1 and beauty be a little wise about *xposinK yourselves too suddenly to the sun. Remember that spending ijie first day of the'vacation on the beach "getting a tan" will riiore prcjbably result In a very painful sunburn instead. Tan if you must, but take it slowly. Don't settle yourself on the beach determined to get a fine romantic tan on the very first day of your vacation. And by all means don't do this if you are spending your summer In the midst of the kind of friends who think back slapping is amusing. A few minutes of exposure to the sun is enough on the first day; then gradually the length of time can be increased. Ii^j&ny case, before you go out first apply a generous coating of cream or lotion to the skin, remove the surplus and apply talcum powder. Then, on coming Indoors, cleanse the skin with cold cream. After this, pat on a soothing lotion. If, falling to take these precautions, your skin should become red and burned, the irritation may be relieved by bathing with a simple lotion composed of one part of lime water and two parts of olive oil. Freckles are another summer problem. If you have the kind of skin that freckles easily you may be comforted to know that the reason It Is so sensitive is because of Its natural delicacy, and that this type of skin if properly cared for Is more beautiful than any other. A lotion safe and effective for clearing the skin of freckles is made as follows: one-half dram sulpho carbolate of zinc; one and a half ounces of glycerin; four ounces rose water; three drams cologne water, all shaken well together. This solution should be applied several times a day with a piece of clean linen or absorbent cotton. Another common summer folly Is the way we eat It Is said that folly 80 percent of the illnesses treated by country doctors during vacation time are simply cases of gastric disturbances caused by foolish food habits. In the summer we don't require as much food to keep up our energy as we do In the colder seasons so we should eat more lightly. Of course, for health and beauty the diet should always be built around fresh milk, fruits, and vegetables, but it is even more important to do this In the summer time, when It is doubly necessary that we have plenty of liquids and easily digested foods in our daily diet Thanks to modern beauty science^ the maintaining of good looks during the summer months does not present the problems that it used to. In the days when we were martyrs to the marcel wave, which, like "mother's daf-" ling daughter" couldn't go near the water. Nowadays with a permanent wave acquired at the beglnning'of the summer we can swim and dive freely and emerge looking as fresh and waved as when we went in the water. So arm yourself with common plus protective skin creams; milk, fruits and vegetables In diet; and a permanent wave--and have a good time. •""V Juno 19* 1933 J ' A fcOBPJUTT TKIRTT YEARS OLD : • uat Friday th« ford Motor CoapW eo«pl«t«d SO JMI* of «nt<aobU* •*"« 1. .1.0 ^ fortieth year at th. sue job.
