It's time for the city to act NOW! Don’t allow such artistic and moral sores to stand for the summer, even tho the bathing season is upon us. Construction of healthy and decent buildings at our beaches will require little time and little money. Build them! BUILD THEM NOW! No Buck-Passing Here TAX of 900 million dollars a year could be realized by putting a special levy of 1 per cent a year on the ‘value of unused land in the United States’ and Alaska. So claims Congressman Griffen, introducing a bill for that “purpose. Griffen believes that his bill would not only bring in a lot of revenue, but it would also force into use unproduc- tive lands held for speculation. The usual objection to tsuch a tax is that it can’t be evaded by passing it on to ‘the consumers. ; “Hardships” of Travel : AM HAVING a most interesting trip thru Northern Africa,” writes Col. William A. Gaston. “The cities ‘are very modern; roads perfect. Have traveled over 1,500 «miles by motor. All natives pleasant and contented.” | We expect to find a gasoline filling station when we ar- rive at the River Styx, with old Charon ferrying passen- “gers in a motorboat or airplane. LETTER FROM \V RIDGE MANN April 28, 1924, Dear Folks: I see the men are voting on “to bob or not to bob.” I also see them quoting from opinions of the mob. To make a simple story it’s the question shall we swap “a woman's crowning glory” for “s little off the top”® It*® mostly idle chatter, just to pass the time aw: It really doesn’t matter what the fellows have to sa It hasn't paid to grapple with the things the women do, since Adam ate the apple when his sw:etie told him to. They say the bob is dapper, and an easy-brushing job. It's not alone the flayper that is falling for the bob. The older dames have done it; it is spreading everywhere, And since they've all begun St, even grandma bobs her hair! And now we cannot stop it, for we all are too polite, A dame may go and chop it, and be looking like a fright. No matter what is cooking in the space behind our brow, we tell them all, “You're looking nearly ten years younger now," And so we now ate voting, do we like the bob or not? But will the girls be noting all the ballota we have got? Our voting cannot stir them, for they know that here's the test: The men will all prefer them anyway they look the best!
