OUR SOLDIER BOYS.
D. Blanche Smull
Our soldier boys are far from home,
To battle for their native land;
With firm resolve and courage bold,
They marched away a warrior band.
They've gone to fight for freedom’s cause,
Defeat the foe for you and me;
©O brave, undaunted sons are they,
“To battle thus, and make men free!
Qur prayers ascend for their return,
True heroes, they'll be crowned for aye;
We'll keep the love-lights burning bright,
To guide them on their homeward way.
Then give three rousing cheers,
Qur boys to battle go!
Their valor rises high,
They'll conquer ev'ry foe!
They answered to the call
Like a valiant band;
To plant our Glorious I'lag
On the Kaiser-land.
(Written on departure of men for Eu-
rope).
OUR SOLDIERS HOMECOMING.
D. Blanche Smull
Qur soldier boys are coming home,
Back to their own dear, native land;
Crowned heroes in their country’s cause;
Then give three cheers for this brave band.
They fought and won in freedom’s cause;
Won liberty for one and all;
Up with “Old Glory!” wave it high
And give three cheers: Sound the bugle
call,
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
.Qur boys are coming home;
The storm of war has passed;
They've crossed the ocean’s foam;
They conquered every foe;
©, proud victorious band,
They planted dear “Old Glory.”
On the Kaiser-land.
CANNOT BE SENT TO JAIL.
Under a recent ruling handed down
by the Attorney General’s Depart-
ment at Harrisburg women cannot be
jailed for the non-payment of taxes
‘like the male members of the species.
But the collector can levy on and sell
all their personal property, which in-
cludes household goods, wearing ap-
parel, jewelry, etc., and it is quite
likely the average woman will dig
pratiy deep to get the money to pay
er tax in preference to even permit-
ting an officer to make an inventory
of her clothing, etc.
Women citizens who object to the
payment of taxes, stating that “they
would go to jail before they would
pay them,” may be spared the neces-
sity of suffering such martyrdom for
their convictions. .
An old Pennsylvania law which the
State Legislators apparently forgot to
rescind when they enfranchised the
women of the State and placed them
on a basis of equality with men,
specifically states that women cannot
be imprisoned for non-payment of
taxes.
The Act of Assembly of April 15,
1834, P. L. 509, Section 21 says: “If
any person shall neglect or refuse to
make payment of the amount due by
him for such tax within thirty days
from the time of demand so made, it
shall be the duty of the collector
aforesaid to levy such amount by dis-
tress and sale of the goods and chat-
tels of such delinquent giving ten
days’ public notice by written or
printed advertisements, and in case
goods and chattels sufficient to sat-
isfy the same with the costs cannot
be found, such collector shall be au-
thorized to take the body of such de-
linquent and convey him to the jail
of the proper county, there to remain
until the amount of such tax, togeth-
er with the costs, shall be paid or se-
cured to be paid or until he shall be
otherwise discharged by due course of
law.”
Section 45 of the same law says:
“Nothing herein contained shall au-
thorize the arrest or imprisonment
for non-payment of any tax of any
female or infant or person found by
inquisition to be of unsound mind.”
When the law was passed women
were not subjected to personal taxes,
as they were not enfranchised citi-
zens. A woman owning property was
assessed and paid taxes upon such
property. This being the fact it was
improbable that an occasion would
arise for the tax collector to endeavor
to take a woman to jail for non-pay-
ment of taxes, as the amount due
could be secured by seizure and sale
of the property.
Now, however, women are assessed
the same as men whether they own
property or not. The Legislators may
amend the law so that women as well
as men may be imprisoned for failure
or refusal to pay taxes, but as the
law now stands this apparently can-
not be done. A digest of the Penn-
Sylvania laws complete up to 1920
.shows no change and a supplementary
‘list of the new acts and amendments
“to old acts passed by the Legislature
in 1921 shows that the act of April
15, 1834, was not changed.

Be Sure You Have a Place for Your
“ Mail.
The Postoffice Department at Wash-
ington has issued an order that at the
end of four months no mail is to be
delivered at any dwelling house not
having a slot or approved receptacle
for mail at the front door. The Post-
office Department states that 70 per
cent. of the people show their appre-
ciation of the daily postman by hav-
ing either a letter slot or receptacle
for mail, but the other 30 per cent. are
apparently indifferent. The time it
takes the postman to stop, ring door
bells and wait for dwellers to respond
to get their mail not only adds to the
burden of each mail carrier, but de-
lays the delivery of all other mail.
Tor this reason the order has been is-
sued that at the end of four months
all dwellings not equipped with prop-
er mail receptacles will not be fur-
nished with mail delivered by post-
men.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
Religion has loftier aims than the edu-
cation of a good man. It presupposes that
he is good already, and its principal aim
is to uplift this good man to the highest
stage of understanding.—Lessing.
Sleeves are invariably wide, and this
is a comforting assurance, isn’t it?
For there are few things more abom-
inable than a tight coat sleeve into
which one must coax the loose sleeve
of a gown. The type which is fre-
quently erroneously called the Chinese
sleeve and which in reality follows the
Persian theme, is high in favor. And
one of the interesting things which the
very clever designers have done is to
fit the silken lining so that it may be
tightly drawn about the wrist and so
exclude the fiercest wintry blasts. Fur
cuffs fit more closely than those of
self material, and many of them are
amazingly deep.
One exquisite model of black mar-
vella, in the softest, silkiest quality,
has cuffs to the elbow of gray squir-
rel. This same lovely fur fashions
the big collar, and frames the face of
the wearer with bewitching charm.
There are few furs which have the pa-
trician air that Siberian squirrel at-
tains. And this season it may be said
to be among the leaders. Indeed,
many go so far as to call it the lead-
ing fur. And since the soviet Gov-
ernment has released 7,000,000 of
these skins we may hope that it will
not be prohibitive in price, although
each pelt is so very tiny, and when
only the perfect blue gray skins are
used in the more exclusive garments,
7,000,000 seem only a drop in the
bucket.
Fitch is another small and scarce
pelt which is being used a great deal
for collars and cuffs this season. Bea-
ver is also popular, and in the long-
haired skins wolf and fox are viewed
with much regard. And caracul. It
is everywhere. For a comparative
newcomer, and we had scarcely seen it
until last year since before the war, it
has gone rapidly ahead. Many mod-
els appear which are as much caracul
as they are cloth. This is a combina-
tion which is distinctly Parisian, and
will doubtless be seen a great deal. A
coat-wrap of black gerona, that
charming new fabric which is so well
liked, has the entire lower portion,
from the knees to the bottom of its
rather long skirt, of caracul. It is
lined with taupe satin, which is given
an individual touch by a band of sil-
ver braid around the edge where the
lining joins the outer part.
So far as anything may be said to
gain ascendancy in this glorious array
of wonderful models, the coat-wrap is
the favored type. It is “dressy,” and
smart, and it has an air of regal
queenliness which the coat alone nev-
er attains. The cape, strictly speak-
ing, is not a winter garment, unless
you consider the evening models only.
But the coat-wrap of the season must
never be confused with the somewhat
awkward, bulky and none too lovely
garment of this type, which we have
had for some seasons past.
There is not a hint of excess mater-
ial in its trim and stately appearance.
Cunning touches have been added, es-
pecially in the regions about the shoul-
ders.
In every house there are opportu-
nities to make use of several small
and inexpensive chairs. These should
be used with taste, and should be com-
bined with chairs of larger proportion
But in-
and more dignity, of course.
asmuch as you do not wish to see a
room furnished entirely with small
and puny chairs, neither do you care
for the apoplectic appearance of end-
less overstuffs.
In practically every room in the
house there will be a chance to use at
least one of these small and occasion-
al chairs; in the hall two, perhaps,
could be used; in the living room, any-
where from one to three, depending
on the size of the room, and the kind
of furniture used; in the bedroom, one
or two.
Ladder-backs and Windsors are
among the most popular of these use-
ful chairs, and these, as well as oth-
er familiar types, may be found re-
produced in good mahogany wood. In
the medium grade they are often
made in birch and mahoganized.
But even chairs of no value at all
are made in styles that have much of
the dignity of the older designs, meant
perhaps for porch or kitchen use, and
these chairs may, when painted and
decorated, mix with furniture much
more elaborate and costly.
The next time that you have a dress
made, save a rectangular piece of the
material and make a small handbag.
Cut a silk lining, stitch it in place, add
a casing for the strings, sew up the
side and gather the bottom tightly to-
gether, and this will form a nice bag.
Fasten a fat tassel to the center of
the bottom and surround it by a tight
group of plain ordinary shoe buttons.
Not worn ones, but glistening new
ones. A short distance from the bot-
tom arrange one or two rows of but-
tons, each one fastened in place with
neat stitches.
An old black stocking will make a
splendid snooker pin-cushion.
Cut a straight piece out and fold it
in two. Seam up the side and bot-
tom, and stuff the bag with bran or
sawdust. -
Sew across the top, drawing it into
a round shape to form the head. The
top corners are left sticking out for
the ears.
Mark an inch or two down, and tie
around tightly with strong black
thread to make the neck, and use red
or yellow silk stitches for the eyes,
mouth and nose. ;
Stick long pins in to make the whis-
kers, and tie a narrow ribbon around
the neck with a bow in front. Leave
a length of the back to hang it by, and
your snooker cushion is ready for use.
Gum arabic is of special use in re-
dressing silks. If in powdered form
one or two teaspoonfuls should be al-
lowed to stand in 2 quart of warm wa-
ter until dissolved, then strain for use.
If the gum is in lump form use boiling
water and keep hot until the gum dis-
solves; using a double boiler for the
purpose. A quarter cup of this solu-
tion to each quart of the last rinse
water should be used.

“Flying Squadron” Paves Way for
Penn Sate Campaign.
Final preparations for the launch-
ing of The Pennsylvania State College
emergency building fund campaign
for $2,000,000 was made last week as
a “flying squadron” of fifteen facul-
ty members and college executives
visited the sixty county alumni organ-
izations. Headed by President John
M. Thomas, all of the college deans
and many department heads are in-
stilling “pep” into the very efficiently
organized alumni groups throughout
the State.
Every county alumni club was vis-
ited by one of the group. For the
past five months the alumni have been
in the process of organization for the
big drive, the first that Penn State has
ever undertaken. It will start Mon-
day, October 2nd. The students are
this week attempting to raise an
amount that will insure them a Stu-
dents’ Union building.
The college drive is aimed to pro-
vide student health and welfare build-
ings that are so greatly needed; to
create sentiment in favor of adequate
Legislative building and maintenance
support, and to establish the college
as the State University which it now
is in everything but name.
There are a lot of dull girls
who wear smart clothes.
