DfcS Moines, la., Jan. 2D.—A pro gram for 3924 which hft declared is the most comprehensive of any un dertaken by the league in Iowa sines national prohibition became effec tive wag outlined to members of the Iowa Anti-Saloon league at the open ing session of its annual convention hero today by S.

A body of 1,500 organized commit tees, reaching into every important < ity and town in the state, exists in Iowa today and is working with the Anti-Saloon league to bring about complete law observance, McNaught asserted.

P. to Form Own Tax Cut Bill Bill Similar to Mellon Plan to Be Drawn Up by House Body. Washington, Jan. 23. — The first partisan debate on taxes on the flopr of the house yesterday provoked a move by republican members of the ways and means committee to write their own income rates, which some predicted would place a bill before the house on substantially the lines sug gested by Secretary Mellon. Representative Treadway, Massa chusetts, republican, made the pro posal after Representative Garner, Texas, had declared In the course of the debate that the Mellon bill would not pass in the house, "even if left to a vote of the republicans alone," and that President Coolidge would not veto a tax bill carrying the Higher surtax rates of the democratic plan. The committee continued discus sion of the new excise rates and ten tatively agreed to repeal the taxes on telephone and telegraph messages, leased wires and candy. This Would result in a loss of $44,000,000 In rev enue, it was estimated. Final changes in these rates will be determined to morrow, with proposals to repeal the taxes on automobile trucks and parts, theater admissions and various other articles before the committee. The committee agreed to limit changes in these rates so that the loss in rev enue would be held to $120,000,000. Senator Jones, democrat. New Mex ico, brought the democratic plan for tax revision before the senate and criticized Secretary Mellon's descrip tion of It as "insincere and political.” Senator Johnson, California, also as sailed the Mellon bill In a statement. - -: - Ml— "■* iaaaam”j»gfe? j Long Performance Evening, 8:10.

Dinner Guest Snubs Girl Who Earns Her Own Living Man Looks Down on Girl—She Is Hurt by Unworthy One Who Seeks Riches. By MARTHA AIXEN. i i K MAN I met at a dinner party last week was per fectly lovely to me until he found out that I worked for my living,” says Beatrice in her letter this morning. "Why is it, Martha Allen, that some of the most de sirable men look ddwn on a woman of good education Just because she Is in the business world? I have some friends who have had the same ex perience.” Is the man so desirable, Beatrice? I hardly think he is worth discus sion, but here goes. I know there are such men in every -village and large city who are striv ing so hard for social eminence and wealth that they lose sight of every thing fine In life. They are usually overbearing because they aren't sure of their own ground and could be easily pushed off Into ^blivlon. "Snob" Is really a word that is too high class for such an individual, Be atrice. He is a man without char acter, weak-brained. a cad—really spineless. Evidently, the man you met is planning to find a girl to marry who can support him In luxury. He Is proudly too feeble to earn his own living, so Is crafty enough to seek the easiest way out of his predica ment. There is no need for any girl ca pable of earning a living to feel in jured when such men snub her. Many women of the Urltlsh nobility and Russian princesses have gone to work since the war. Times have changed but I hardly think the change has prevented any of these women from marrying fine men. If you have learned the value of a dollar you'll make a better wife for some man than one who has never left the home. A girl such as this man is looking for is sure to lead him a merry chase for the privilege of marrying her and the money that goes with the contract. Some of the finest women in the world who are now mothers were school teachers, stenographers or clerks before marriage. And they have risen to a height far beyond any level that your gentleman friend will ever reach, let alone glimpse. Star—A fork is used to eat carrots or peas. At a dinner or luncheon table the woman sits to the right of the man. Present the person who has Just entered the room to those already there. . Let your boy friend settle the argu ment with his parents. Kven though the differences are caused by talk about you. he should settle the mat ter in his own family. You should not interfere. Hue—Let your escort put on your rubbers or galoshes. A gentleman n! ways waits upon you. Five G. 0. P. Men Out for Mayor Three Candidates Seek Demo cratic Nomination; Filings Closed.

To think of it!" "Tcs. to think of It!" repeated llel on. softly, starry-eyed. "What do you mean?" demanded Stephen, looking at her sharply. Why did she apeak like that? Helen replied slowly, distinctly, 'looking at Stephen, “l-aurei Inhere. She is here to stay. Who has accom plished it?" He didn't answer her—Just looked at her a moment, then shook his head, and gazed down again into the dead logs In the fireplace. Helen placed her hand very lightly on one of his folded arms "She has always been judged Just by appearances," she said In a low, earnest tone, “valued Just by Impres sions.

'Now we see through a glass, darkly.’ I think it means in a mirror indistinctly—a dim. dull, imperfect mirror. It aeoms as if everybody saw Stella 'through a glass, darkly.' Stephen, even her own child tonight." She withdrew her hand. Stephen replied, still starring into the lifeless fireplace, "I lived with her. I knew her." "Oh, hut Stephen—" "My dear, my dear," he Interrupt ed tenderly, fondly.

The proof that Helen's rainbow was real—no illusion, no mirage— came In the form of a shadotv the following fall. It is dark by 5 o'clock in the afternoon In New York in No vember. Returning one late after noon with t,aurel from a lea, where with a dozen other girls of her own age she had been assisting (nominally assisting, but really, like the others, simply submitting herself to the do mauds of a crowd of young men blocking the entrance to the room cleared for dancing). Helen observed, as she left the car and crossed the sidewalk to her own door a shadow, a stationary shadow cast upon the sidewalk. There was an nlley ran down to a rear entrance at the spot where the shadow fell. There was a light I a few Teet down the alley. The light was dim. But In spite of the unrec ognizable shape of the blurred out lino of the shadow, it had startled Helen into a sudden suspicion. Unce inside the house she had mounted to an upper room, where there was no light, where slie would attract no attention, and raising the drawn shade In a bay window, gazed into the alley, just back of the spot where the shadow had lain. There was no one there now. Quickly she turned and raised the shade of the window opposite. This window looked toward the rear of the house and commanded a view of the narrow, illy-lighted tunnel, along which towered the high, spiked walls of several scores of rear entrances. Proceeding along this tunnel, closely skirting the high spiked walls. Hel en could make out the outline of a woman—a short. stocky woman. Twice she stopped and looked back at Helen's roof Helen's first impulse was to raise the-window—to call. She hesitated. It ni'ght not be she. The alley lights were dim and far away. And if It proved to V>e, was it u iae to estab lish communication with her when she was taking such pains to avoid it? No. Laurel's mother knew best. The minute she became even a rec ognized shadow In her child's life she ran the risk of defeating the ob ject of her sacrifice. Laurel believed her mother Was somewhere in South America and submitted without protest to the fu tility of locating her, submitted, too, without pr otest to the futility of break ing her determiner! silence. If she even suspected that her mother was nearby in hiding somewhere, watch ing. looking on in the old eager, anx lous way. she would not be content till she found her; and If she found her and If it proved, indeed, that it was as Helen had persuaded her to hope, that her mother had married Alfred Munn for her sake, as likely as not—no. more likely than not— Laurel would Insist upon returning to her mother under whatever cir cumstances. She was capable of it I-aurel was almost her old self now. She smiled again, laughed again, shone and glowed again over old de lights and joys, over new delights and Joys. Occasionally the troubled, hurt look would steal across her fea tures. And at such times Helen knew that Laurel was doubting again, suf fering again, longing to be brought face to face with the actual proof of her mother's high motive. But it was better that the doubts should re main than that her mother's act of self-abnegation should lie robbed of its fruit. Helen pulled down the window shade and went downstairs.
