MODERN (aRmifANT OLDERHUSBANDS
. Marriage License Qerk Says Tkey Pref «r Mature Sense To Vacil¬ lating Youngsters
Washington, April 26.--"Whether it- is suffrage or some other influence, it is a fact that the marriageable young woman of today prefers to pick her husband from among men of malurer age," according to Captain Kroll, the capital's marriage license clerk.
"The psychology of the girl who con- templi^tes marriage has experlcnce<1 a ,itecide<)< change during the last two years,'' observed Cupid's official inter¬ mediary, who Insisted that a girl these days haa an eye to a safe future with comfort with a husband with good sense, even though older train herself, rather than a "life full of roinnntic un¬ certainty with a handsomo youngster

!!^J!!!f;Jr'*"*''"""' ^^ """^ »^JFinan«- committee of the Senate, the *"*" ° suhatltutlon of the salea tax for the ex
cess proflts tax becomes a very direct 'Issue in Iheihalls of Congress.
On Its face, the excess proflts tax Is a burden that falls upon men of great wealth, while, aprorently, the sales tax is a burden that falls principally on consumers In the proportion thjit they consume goods. For this reason there will lie an effdrt to align tho inflnence of people of small wealth in favor of continuance of the excess proflts tax against the substitution of a sales tax. Tho proponents of the sales tax assert, however, that the excess profits tax In its ultimate results is not what It purports to bo. They declare that in lar^ measure tttm excess proflts tax Is passed on to the consumer by the pro¬ ducer, the manufacturer, and the dealer, who not only add the amount of the tax to their prices, but add something more in order to lie on the safe side Many people agree that this Is the real operation of the exceiss liroflts tax, but they assert that it will bo Impracticable to make the people of the country see that this la so, and, therefore, they oppose an -iattempt at substitution of the sales tax which they believe will lie extremely unpopular among those who do not understand the practlcai operation of the excess proflts tax
It is argued In favor of the salea tax that since the rate of tho tax would be deflnite and'certain and known to every one, it could not be made the basis for unjustified Increase in pricea as has always been the case with the excess proflts tax. A sales tax of one per cent., or of one-half of one per cent., would justltfy an Increase on each sale of only one cent, on each dolfar or one cent on each .two dollars, aa the case ntlght be. In the price of goods sold. The tax paid in this manner and at this rate would be far less of a burden, It la asserted, than the pro-
accomplished.
The town is now In possession of this portion, and improvements are under way, together with a right of way at the extreme eastclm end.
With this right of way to Union street, a dead end will be eliminated, giving a continuous flow of water.

LABORDICnONARY
Arrange Temu As Used By Labor
Unioa To Define Tme Mean
ing of Pbrases
(By International News Service.)
Cambridge, Mass., April 24.—What is probably the first dictionary of labof terms as used by organized labor eve? published has just been put out by th« Harvard Bureau of Business Research. Tho object of this bulletin is to pro¬ vide a means of lessening the verbal misunderstandings which often cause or prolong disputes betwen employer* and employees.
The bulletin contains dennitlona from the labor standpoint of several hundred terms, many of which, such as "open shop," "collective bargain¬ ing" and "union shop" are frequently used with different meanlnga by par. Ilea to labor controversies.
This effort to deflne what labor men mean when they use terma haa been made for the purpose of enabling manufacturers and employera to se¬ cure a better understanding of the point of view of their men.
The bulletin is prepared primarily for employera, says Professor M. T. Copeland, becauae iftany terms are the i aubject of controversy and the need was felt of a means by which the em¬ ployer rhight more quickly find out what the employee and particularly the oihganlzed employee, means when ho uaea a term often uaed by the em¬ ployer In another sense.
"Collective Bargaining" Deflned

Another argument advanccjll In {avor of the sates tax is tliat nten and women of ordinary atiHty could be employed to check up on the peyment of tax, whereas fn checking op on the Income and excess proflts taxes flnancml ex-. perls are required at a comparattvely largs salary.' In answer to the sugges¬ tion that evasion of the sales tax would be easy, It Is aiMerted tliat most of tbe sales taxes would be paid through con¬ cerns employing a large numlier of people', and an attempted evasion of the fax would lie known to a number of employes.

I..awrenpe, Mass, April 25.—Edward P. Fratz of thla city, a senior at Ma.saa- chusetts In.stitute of Technology, has come to the rescue of the mathematical .savcntfl who are faltering over thc po.s- .slbillty of trisecting an arc, a iiroblem on which ancient geometricians have fallen doi\-n.
Recently a Lynn High School .student believed that he had solved the prob¬ lem. The Lawrence lad di.sputes the Ijynn lioy's theory and has evolved a sy.-ifem whereby, an arc may be trl- .sected. The method, while not accurate, reduces the margin of error to an In- flnlteslmal degree.
"Tech" profes.>iors say that tho Law¬ rence boy is nearer to the correct so¬ lution, which lias troubled the wise heads of the pa.sr. Hc worked ont his new theory in three hours.

Colonel Kroll vras not prepared to say whether this rather startling "develoj)- ment In matrimonial contemplations would be lasting or whether the prin¬ ciple of "like likes like" would again gain the upper hand. "It may be that the girls desire more independence and it may be they think an older man can guarantee such a state with more facil¬ ity than a youft'g husband just starting out in life. Young husbands as a rule aire also Jealous and wish to dominate over their brides while men with more experience are more tolerant."
AMERICANS RANK SECOND AMONG FOR^GNERS IN TOKIO
(By International News Service.) Tokio, April 25.—Americans rank sec¬ ond in tlie list of foreigners residing In the capital city of Japan, it was an¬ nounced recently by the Metropolitan Police Department of Tokio. Of the 1,246 foreigners living in ,^ Tokio 653 of them nre Americans, according to these 1921 flgures.
A notable Increase in the Germans living in Tokio is one of the outstanding features of the announcement. As a reason for this is given the fact that Oerman business men are attempting to regain ground lost here during the Oreat War. The flfty Germans who lived in Tokio during the war have in¬ creased to 127 already. China ranks flrst in the list and Great Britain's res¬ idents are third. The list follows: Chi¬ nese, 8,466; Americans, (SS; British. 367; Russians, 2S7; Oermans, 127; French, 92; Filipinos, 37: Hollanders, 2S; Swiss, 26; Hindooo, 21: Italians, 21; Swedes, 20; Csccha. 18; Siamese, IB; Portuguese, 1; Belgians, IS; Argentinians, 13; Spani¬ ards. 12; Chilians, 11; Au.strians, 8; r>ane8, 6; Norwegians, 6; Canadians, 6; Australians, 4; Oreeks; 4; Bulgarians, 3; Malayans, 3; Finns, 2; Burmese, 2; Bra- ailians. 2; Mexicans, 2; Rumanians, 2; Luxemhorgeoiae, 2; Persians, 1.

Is employed without discrimlnalion," while "collective bargaining," the defl- nltton of which was a subject of con¬ troversy at the Industrial Conference at Washington, Is said to mean "the negotiation of a trade agreement be¬ tween one or more employers and one or more groups of employes acting col-' leotlvely through representatives' chosen by the respective parties."
The following explanatory statement appears along with the deflnltlon of "collective bargaining." "The term collective bargaining • oi'caslonally ia applied to negotiations between an em¬ ployer and representatives of the em¬ ployees In his plant who are organized, usually under a shop committee ays^ tem, with no outalde afflliatlons. To labor union members tho term is ap¬ plied only to negotiations between one or more employers and representatives of a local or national labor union who may or may not be employed in the plant effected."

Certain-teed Reduces the Cost of the Painter^s Time
^HE heaviest hem in the cost of painting is the labor. Certain>teed lessens this cost because the high quality ma¬ terials in it are so thoroughly ground and mixed that it spreads easier and has greater hiding power.
Certain-teed also oovan more surface per gallon. It requires fewer coats to properly pro* tect. It retains its color and beauty for a longer period of time.
All ti these advantage are
due to the high quality of Certaio-teed. Its name means, "Certainty of Quality—Guar- anfeecf Satisfaction." It is manufactured by a concern that has long t>een known as the makws of high quality products.
Let us hdp yon. make your Spring painting satisfactory and ecfHxmiical by supplying this highest quality paint. Certain-teed led in price re¬ ductions. We are now selling this paint at prewar prices.
