By AMorlatrd Press.
DfcS Moines, la., Jan. 2D.—A pro
gram for 3924 which hft declared is

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. P. McNaught, state
superintendent.
Plans worn set forth for activity
by prohibition supporters at the polls

in Iowa in 1924.
In every community where present
officials have not been enforcing pro
hibition statutes, the superintendent
declared, the Anti Saloon league mem
bers and supporters will back candi
dates who haves pledged themselves
to support those laws.
1,500 Committee*.
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

Iho coming elections. McNaught also
J 'ailed attention to laws drafted by
the leagu<\ looking to stricter dry

put before tlie general assembly.
Hig 1924 Drive.
"^n effort will be made-in 1921,”
McNaught declared, "to enlist the
support of every Iowa community In
attainment of the seven aims estab
lished at the governor's law enforoe
ment conference last fall. The
league is asking every church to de
vote at least one hour of its serv
ices to the cause of prohibition.
“Iowa is one of the banner states
of the country in prohibition observ
ance and enforcement, and we hope
during 1924 to better our own good
record.”
G. 0. 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.

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.

He didn't answer her—Just looked

CHAPTER XXIII.
1.
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.
