THOUSANDS OF PUBLIC
SCHOOL TEACHERS NOT
TO PAY INCOME TAX
WASHINGTON—Thousands of pub-
lie school teachers are exempt from
Income taxes on their salaries as
teachers, according to an explanation,
Wednesday, by the internal revenue
bureau in clarification of its recent
announcement that salaries of all ofll-
cers and employes of state, county,
city or other municipality or local
governments are not taxable
It was explained that this applies to
teachers providing they receive pay
fronh public source, and not from a
private school. It also applies to po-
licemen, firemen and other public em-
ployes.
The exemption was made In the tax
law. but doubt over the precise mean-
ing prompted the Interpretation from
the revenue bureau.

that time, good people without num-

was signed by a large number of lib-

A simple but chic-looking toilette Is
among the new displays of suits and j
dresses for spring, but with all its
simplicity it reveals two original and j
very effective style features that are
noteworthy. The first of these appears i
In-the combination of two very differ- ,
ent satins. The plain skirt Is made of
one of those heavy, lustrous, supple
weaves, much used for separate and 1
sport skirts, and the smart and rather
elaborate coat is fashioned from a j
rrec- j heavy satin such as we have been
familiar wittfc for years. There is no ,
rivalry between these two dissimilar
satins, but It is unusual to see them !
used together. Just how successfully
they may be associated appears in the j
suit for spring shown above.
This formal suit will hold its own
for afternoon or restaurant-dinner <
wear, and prove useful for other very
different occasions. The skirt and
coat may part company—the skirt

Without Maving Voice in
Government.
BY THE WOMAN'S EDITOR.
Running true to form, the present
administrators of our government,
which has denied women a voice in
the selection of the lawmakers, holds
women equally responsible under the
luws in which they have no voice in
making. Women are being arrested,
convicted and sentenced to long-term
imprisonment in federal prisons for
alleged violations of the espionage
act.
Women are so used to being shut
out of things political that many are
now laboring under the delusion that
they can do nothing in the campaign
for amnesty for political prisoners
and conscientious objectors. 'Men,
too, seem to think that women have
no place in this campaign. Men have
brought petitions to me after meet-
ings. saying every one in the room
had signed. When I asked: "Did all
the women sign'"' the reply invaria-
bly would be: "Why, No. I didn't
know they could."

Once upon a time a beautiful

she was much In love with a very
charming Prince, but her father, the
King, did not approve of the match.
They had been enemies for years.
The Princess pined and would not
eat and the Prince sulked and would
not dance or hunt, but both parents
were hard-hearted and refused to let
the young people see each other.
Now, the Princess had caught a
wildcat when it was but a kitten and
tamed It. The animul was a grayish
white all over. It loved the Princess,
but often longed for the free, wild
life In the top of the forest trees. Still

out that Italian women gave their
service during the war and asked
why their position should be in-

So off she started, as if to pick wild

Long she waited. The cat prowled

coat is rounded at the fronts and laid

side. These form pointed panels over
the hips that widen from the waistline

The panels are decorated with em-

some enemy appear.
At last there was a step and the
Prince, covered with dust, burst
through the bushes. The Princess
fainted in his arms.
"My horse ran away and threw
me," he explained. "Then I met a
wounded tiger, which I killed."
"Y©U must thank my faithful cat
here for saving me," murmured the
Princess. "She blinded the tiger. And
look, she has lain in the sun so long
she is all stained. You brave, little
darling, what can I do for you in re-

"I wish only my freedom," replied
the cat.
Of course, she got It, and scampered
away Into the trees, covered with
spots, but wild and happy, while the
Prince and Princess went back to the
castle, where the King consented to
