Taxing Travel. |of Pugilism ana | tions, poll-tax \ nd That, at tedious on travelers, who are, it seems, pay an entrance fee at every boundary. any rate, might be simplier than the touring of consulates and other offices in order to buy visas over the counter which is the. present an odious prelude to a holiday for those who journey afar. But it is impossible to conceive any reason either of policy or of finance why a nation should desire to pester its guests and turn its front door into the like- | ness of a turnstile at a place of entertainment. The tax must either be meager in result or, if| it is large enough to be a deterrent, totally futile.

Two rovalties met the other day and ex- changed felicitations and experiences—the Prince the Prince of Wales It probably will further add to the perplemi- ties and the spleen of the typical fight, fan when |~ he considers that the world's champion slugger and the world's worst horseman and heir to the British throne sat down together in St. James Palace and talked of such things as lie between cabbages and Kings, just as ordinary, virile Youung men are in the habit of doing. Mr. Tunney must continue to be an enigma to the “profession.” He doesn't just fit into the pugilistic tradition somehow, and it makes the boys nervous and irritable. He even has managed to make himself personagrata with that intel- lectual porcupine, George Bernard Shaw, and with a lot of other decent and dignified people. All that Wales and Tunney talked about, did, at the time of their meeting is not, given to the public. They may have negotiated a drink or two, or they may have indulged in a few technical passes with the gloves—Wales is pretty good at the game in a modest way— or they may have discussed the Prince’s coming African trip. It is enmough to know that, as one Prince to another,” they chinned through some congenial hours, while the cauliflower boys looked, listened, wondered and, perhaps, cussed a little over the incongruity of things. or perhaps, 0 Wet Voters in Australia. (New York World.) wet-and-dry referendum in New South Australia, contains cold cheer for the cold- water party elsewhere. For the wet vote was 818,312 and the dry vote was 941; the pro- portion was as 71 to 29, or about 21, to 1. The Federal District of Canberra also went overwhelm- ingly wet, This result cannot be charged to alien im- migrants, for Australia has an almost unmixed population of British origin. It cannot be aserib- ed to a light vote, for a total poll of 1,148,000 in a population (1921) of 2,100,371 is the cauivalent of 60,000,000 votes in this country, and we have never cast more than half that num- ber. It cannot therefore be blamed on women staying away from the polls, for they did not away. Indeed, the heaviest wet vote was reported from some of the finest residential sec- such as in this country are usually Re- publican. So we do not see a ray of light any- where piercing the gloom.

Another thing the modern short. haired little girl doesn’t know anything about the agony of having the tangles comibe her long curls by an mother. You can learn a lot of things at home, but they are not the things the correspondence schools agree to teach yon much per lesson The greatest objection to having| the kitchen in colors is that it will take friend wife so long to doll up in clothes that will harmonize with them she’ll never be able to get the meals started. The reason a lot of women are not unhappier than they are is be. dinner you ‘ et | impatient 28 S0 cause they are not living with husbands they are envying other women for having. The trouble with the average husband is that he wants a lot of praise he doesn’t deserve and doesn’t want the blame he does. An old married woman’s idea of the prize lunatic is the man who thinks if the girl doesn't love him when she marries him she will learn to after she has lived with him for awhile. Home with some men is where they go to turn loose all their meanness. A machine that mends silk hos- fery may interest daughter, but one that could mend daughter's ways would interest her mother and dad a heap more. You usually can tell by how o°. ten a girl uses her pocket mirror in public how often she uses the dish mop at home. D e AUTOS FOR HIRE Don’t take a chance— take a Carlson taxi —says Taxi Tad.
