| "Good to the Last Drop" r?* uMtt.om Curious Colllection Of Old Valentinet Chicago, March 8.?A curious col lection of old valentines which th< Arts Club exhibited here recently recalls the story of a woman whoir the students of Mt. Holyoke Collegt toast every year on February 14 She was Miss Esther Howland, wh< made the first American valentine: and the first valentines in whicl printed verse was used. Her worif is liberally represented in the collection, which is that of Mrs. Errfma B Hodge, and which was loaned to th Arts Club for the purposes of th ??u:uu l a _t. ??"i-: cjuuua uy me nit institute ui V/iu cago. Miss Rowland was graduated fron Mt. Holyoke in 1847, when higher ed ucatTon for women was an innovation Valentines were first made in England, and England had a monopoly ol their manufacture for many year* In fact, a valentine from England, th; first she had ever seen, gave M;ss Howland the idea upon which shi based her work. It was two year? after her graduation when she was a! her home in Worcester, Mass. Th' English, which is in Mrs. Hodge's collection, has an elaborate borldei of lace paper with flowers pastec upon it. A tiny note reposed in e small pocket in the center. Miss Howland's father was a stationer imported a few of these valentines and his daughter thought she could improve them. She made some from lace paper, colored paper and papei flowers, and persuaded her brother who traveled for her father, to tak< them with him as samples. He re turned to bewilder her with orderamounting to $5,000. Miss Howland enlisted the aid o1 her friends to fill these orders. Tht following year she had to double hei working force. She soon found herself with a valentine factory on hei hands, and wns importing materials frnm Rurmnnv Sho mafln /nr^oi innovations, including the use oi fiilk. She originate the idea of embossing lithograph ornaments which was utilized by a firm in Germany Meanwhile the American or Worcester Valentine became famous, and ir a few years Miss Howland was sending out poods worth $100,000. The traditions with which Mis? Rowland's work was associated arc INDIGESTION Busy Public Official Says Thedford's Black-Draught Helps Him Keep Physically Fit. Clay City, Ky.?"I havo been In business here for twenty-one years; am also coroner, riding the Kentucky btlls and hollows in all kinds of weather and under all kinds of conditions," says Mr. Sam T. Carr, of this place. "To be able to do so, I must keep phyRlonlly fit, and Tliedford'a Black-Draught Is my stand-by. "Those trips used to give me^ieadaches, and that, I found, came from hurried meals or from constipation. "I was convinced that Black-Draught was good, so now I use It, and It gives perfect satisfaction. It acts on the liver, relieves Indigestion, and certainly Is splendid. I am never without it."

I observance of St. Valentino's Dav has been held to be a revival of the Roman Lupercalia, and bears th:, name of a Christian martyr of the third century. According to one j story, the martyr wrote a message of . love on the day of his execution, February 14, to his jailor's daughter. , and signed it "Your Valentine." The 5 day was long observed with various j customs before commercial use was : made of the sending on that day of amatory messagese. The verses on many of the valen , tines in this collection express domestic ideals, and the wasp waiste< maidens depicted on them have meekly downcast* eyes. Here and there, however, there is an exception. In jne case an upstanding amazon calmly directs Cupid as he aims at a lan guicf youth, who, glancing up fropi r his book, notes the proceeding with unconcern. In another a young woi.j.n places a wreath on the head n a kneeling swain, and in the verses below the sender (feminine) assures the recipient (masculine) that her tar.d will be his whenever he claims it, explaining that a maiden may disr j close affections concealed at all o\.i er times. [ Political Destinies of i Soviet Government 1 1 ? Tashkent, Turkestan, March 7.- I The political destinies of the Soviet i government here are controlled by Adolph A. Joffe, signer of the Brest, Litovsk treaty by which Russin with} drew from the world war and for mer Russian Soviet Ambassador to i BerKn. (It was recently announced officially that he would be one of the f Russian Soviet delegates to the Ge' noa conference.) Joffe is the chief of a central com mittee of five. One of his duties is to put into effect Moscow's instrue ? tions regarding relations with Am anulla Khan, the young and activ? f Emir of Afghanistan and pretendei to the Moslem Caliphate, now hcl. i by the Sultan at Constantinople. The Emir of Bokhara has fled to Afghanistan, the Khan of Khiva is i in prison at Moscow and the Soviets > are strengthening their power by attempting to build up the small landi lords at the expense of the old nnd wealthy class which has well nigh' disappeared. Despite the absence of medicines and the ravages of a severe typhus epidemic, Turkestan is, barring the Ukraine, the riches of Russian provinces or subsidiary governments an'1 efforts are being made to increase the cotton crop, which formerly supplied half the mills of Great Russia. The rice and wheat crops were fairly good last year and if good this year large supplies may be sent to Russia's famine regions. Smuggling by Baltic States Moscow, March 7.?Gifts of food stuffs for the famine area were used by Lithuanians as a screen for gigantic smuggling operations, according to statements of Soviet officials, who are bitter in their denunciation of the alleged illegal trade operations on the part of all the three new Halite states. Beneath the grain and flour the Lithuanians loaded into two cars for tb? famine area, Soviet officials say they discovered large quantities of cocaine, spirits, saccharine, miscellaneous foodstuffs intended for sale .and even railway implements not intended as gifts. Most of the smuggled supplies were of German origin. Porpoises are the greatest enemies of sardines. , . 55 >> JU w >, y K'< ^ Forces Consolidate by Arrest of Said Pashs . Cairo, Egypt, March 7.?The hith erto scattered forces ot' opposition t< British rule in India were consolidatet by the arrest and deportation of Sait Zaghlcul Pasha, Egyptian Nationalis leader. Egyptians?men, women and chil dren?seem to be determined this tim< to win their independence or die There are signs that their patriots spirit has grown stronger. The country remained without i cabinet after Zaghloul's deportatioi because there was not to be found ii Egypt a leader who dared to assumi the responsibility of forming a nev ministry so long as Lord Curzon': scheme to maintain Great Britain' grip on Egypt remained hanging ove: the head of the country, as one pape: put it, like the sword of Damocles.' Most of the schools, elementary, sec cndary, as well as those of higher edu cation have been forced to close thei portals because their students haw gone out on strike as a sign of pro test against the deporttation of Zagh loul Pav.ha. Departments of the governmen hn e only the semblance of runnini concerns, since the t.?tivo? e?v?r\l/?v?. V. in them have walked out in sympath; with the great army of strikers com posed of lnwyers, educators, mer chants, doctors and cabmen, who hav thus registered their dissatisfaction with the present situation. Great interest is being taken in th subject of convoking a national con ference of the representative bodie and other men of opinion in the coun try with the idea of organizing all th endeavors of the nation in the bi| fight for freedom.

LlkW.tt w Aljtrj TsbjSiO Co. ( Analysis Made by Treasury Washington, March 7.?Intorosiini bits of information relating to Amor ican incomes included in the treasur; department's report covering return for the calendar year 1911), which ha just been made public. Contrary to popular opinion, th largest percentage of returns accord ing to population was not from th wealthy industrial centers but fron Alaska and the District of Columbia The territory's showing?17.1 per cen ?was explained by the number of in dividuals operating their own busi ness, while that of the District of Co lumbia 13.40 per cent?was believe to have resulted from the high rati of government employees with sa arios of more than $1,000 a year. The Southern agricultural state were invariably were far down th list, Mississippi citizens making rt turns comprising only 1.33 per een of the total population; North Care Una 1.45 per cent, and Alabama 1.7New York led in total returns wit more than 5,000,000. An analysis made by the treasur of the sources of incomes showed tha those in t!.<J $1,000 to $2,000 clas obtained 7Y per cent of their pei sonal revenue from wages and sa nries, 3.8 per cent from rents and roy allies, 1.4 per cent from dividends at) 4.7 from interest on investments. Thi was contrasted with the taxpayer wit an income of one miOlion dollars wit drew only 1.34 per cent from salariei 23 per cent from partnerships, 11 pc cent from sale of real estate, stock: etc., G per cent front rents and roya ties, 38 per cent from dividends an 11 per cent from interest on inves! ments. Deduction permitted by the govort ment also showed a wide variant amounting to 7.47 per cent for income between $1,000 and $2,000 and 20.1 per cent for income of $2,000,000 an over. A orient t ti r<> niwl eliilo.l iinlnal < , comprised more than .?.l per cent ( tlu.se making returns, "trade" 20 pi cent and public service 22. Corporation reporting "not net it come" totalled 110,304 the aggregal deficit in this class being $993,000,00 Seventy one per cent of the firms ei gaged in mining and quarrying d< dared they had made no profit in 191! against 4(5 per cent in agriculture an related lines, and 19 per cent in to: till s. Interesting changes in the financi: status of certain taxpayers were note in the report. One group of 301 eac who reported incomes of under $100 000 in 1914 was reorganized in 191 so that only l.r>9 remained in th.r bracket., 189 returned incomes of u to $300,000, 20.r> up to $1,000,000 an eight over that figure. On the other hand 37 selected tn: payers who paid on incomes of $1 000,000 and over in 1914 dwindled pr< gressively to 23 in 1919, eight of thof "lost" having dropped hack to tt $100,000 class.
